Been listenin to this track, and it REALLY hits me.
Lyrically, it represents what I am learning at the moment. Learning about the world, Philippine History, and just reading about human nature...
CHANGE really is what needs to happen at this state of the world...
Why???
Just because!
I have been programmed through education, media, and societal factors that the world is due for a revolution soon...(soon being a span of 5-500 years in my opinion of historical terms...which I am making up in my mind)
But Seriously,
I guess I am hoping to evolve in a way. Like as humans, we continue to innovate our surroundings externally, why not internally? We haven't evolved since Caveman times...but can we say that we have really evolved???
Studies show(I don't have a citation but it's been heard through Psychology courses/liberal media etc.) that the most learned humans to have lived have only merely reached the capacity to unlock 10% of their brain (give or take)... DAMN! What would happen if that were the average for a regular everyday human...? I IMAGINE, as you can see I am using my 'Brain' here, that by unlocking more features of our mind, humans can learn to manipulate our surroundings, e.g. through specific brainwave patterns.
What I am leaning towards is like mutant evolution (X-men, Heroes)...IN A WAY, but one that does not have to do with biological business-DNA, Genetic mutation etc.
I am speaking of evolution more inclined to mind evolution (still biological but not about genes etc)...a.k.a Unlocking our minds to be able to process a WHOLE new LEVEL of things...The day that humans will be able to fathom the 4th dimension and beyond... maybe even God(but as long as we are human, that may be impossible...or so we are taught)???
Unlocking the MIND is/maybe on another level of hardcoreness...
Imagine being able to understand and fathom the Philosophies of Plato, Kant, Derrida, Machiavelli at age 4? Basically the stuff I am learning (luckily) at University NOW, I learn during pre school... (It's possible that we have an UNLIMITED a priori knowledge we simply just have to unlock and remember)...
WHAT IF humans evolved in this way, opening up a greater sense of learning, I BELIEVE the world would be a more calm and harmonius place...relatively speaking. People will understand the futilities of violence and its path to nowhere but death and destruction..."The art of FIGHTING without FIGHTING" will become the zeitgeist motto...
Humans being more "Evolved" will be able to understand that and thus simply battle through MASS dialogue and debates!...I feel that people will be more critical about their surroundings and express it quite explicitly in eloquent terms that will be artisticly offensive, which will cause mass debates, until a consensus can be agreed upon...which when the time comes, will bring a temporary Peace...
OR maybe a 180 degree turn could happen...WHAT IF we could learn how to manipulate brain patterns and read each others thoughts, pull a professor Xavier and fight each other mentally, and the last man standing will be able to 100% persuade the other that they are right...no need to have OPEN mouth conversations, it will all be done mentally. (talk about Fascism at its peak)
Plus Telekinesis? I want to be able to FLY, and use the FORCE! Pull some Dragonball Z stuff, knowhatimsayin? Unlock the ultimate POTENTIAL within all of us (and significantly increase my power level)!
I honestly just want to learn to teleport and or disapparate sometimes.
Through what I am taught to believe through society/religion, I feel that the next level we humans will become is to be like, angels...or demi-gods?
BUT we will still be mortal. Perhaps our mortality will grow shorter, because more energy will be required to make the brain work at a higher capacity....OR we may live longer because the brain is able to understand cell processes and repair old/broken cells, thus allowing to express maximum output and efficiency with minimal energy...
To what is suggested through my thoughts, I am concluding that Humans will continue to evolve until we reach a God-like state...the state where GOD actually accepts us and will communicate with us directly...(I still do through prayer, but what I am aiming for is a more explicit form of communication...like talk to God on the phone...waddup G!)
because that is my flaw, I WANT TO GO BACK TO PARADISE, WHILE BEING ALIVE!!!
....sigh...sigh...sigh
"Lest we forget, we are mortal."
Without Further ado, Listen to CHANGE -->

Change Yourself, Change the World
The following words were written on the tomb of an Anglican Bishop in the Crypts of Westminster Abbey. I picked them especially because it talks about change, and changing ourselves, knowing that change should begin with us.
“When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change. So I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years, on one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me. But, alas, they would have none of it. And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: if I had only CHANGED myself first, then by example, I would have changed my family. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I might have even changed the world.”
I realize this as well.
The world is TOO complex, as a whole. But individually... well its still complex. We're constantly changing. Every second, every breath we take, we change.
Revolutions happen with the collective force of each individuals beliefs. It takes one person to spark up a thought that could inspire people to band together and do something... but its keeping the people banded together that's the problem.
I feel so caught up sometimes in trying to do something to change the world; something i have no control over.
Instead I should be focusing on changing myself first, or rather learn to accept my place, accept the WACKNESS around me and embrace it. Without it, I wouldn't have anything to contemplate about.
All i can say for now is, I Cannot Change the world, but I can Change your View of it.
Peace
