The Magic Way We All Return

In Anthony’s words, from the HOME liner notes

Home is the place you return to. When people return, they say, "I'm going home."

There is no A in the I

I don't think we are conscious. I think we are consciousness.

I don't think there is any "A" in the "I" of AI. I think we, and all things, are I.

The dream and the tape measure

If you measured the distance between the objects in your dreams, that measurement would seem real. But the objects, the tape measure, the people, are all one mind dreaming the dream.

The magic way we all return is to realise that there is no separation between you and I, between matter and spirit.

Alone means all-one

Once we realise this, there is no alone, because alone means all-one.

It's the architecture of peace, because who would you be fighting against, if all is you?

And "return" means back to our essence: us re-membering back to one, to discover there is no us. Just thee. The thing standing in the middle, projecting out the you and the me.

Hence YOU thee ME, the album before this one. HOME is the return to the thee.

The one we don't measure

The only thing we don't look at is the thing doing the measuring. We invest trillions of dollars in defence, in guardrails. We invest nothing in the one doing the measuring. We don't measure that.

If you were to describe a psychopath in one word, it would be separation. So much of our culture is obsessed with it: let me find what is different between me and you. Let me show you how the person who votes A is so different, and so crazy, compared to B.

But go outside. I guarantee the person shopping in the aisle next to you, who votes the opposite way, is ninety per cent identical to you. They don't trust the government. They want their kids to be happy. They want to be loved, and to love. They want to be healthy. They want connection.

A fact is true, but it is not the truth. A fact is looking at the Mona Lisa through a straw.

We won't look at ourselves because it's hard to measure. It's hard to measure because there is nothing to measure.

ONLY

ONLY becomes LONY becomes NOLY becomes LYON becomes ONLY.

It's back to the ONLY. There is no NOLY and LYON. It's just LONY, the ONLY.

The seeking created the dark

The seeker was the sought. And the seeking created the dark.

Real eyes

Realised. Real eyes realise real lies: the lie of separation.

Only when you close your eyes do you see. It's the one sense you can turn off. What do you see? A void. Why? Because that's what nothingness looks like, before you return to the movie set.

But you don't need to open your eyes to see separation, because you dream. So what's the difference?

We even invent eyes to dream.

All is mind

Because all is mind. Your body is in your mind. Your spirit is in your mind.

As within, so constructed.

“You were always what you were looking for.”
