Life Substance #35 - The I's "Night Consciousness"

[Intro] [Verse 1] When the heavy body closes both its eyes, The silent center never truly dies. It simply turns its focus to the deep, For consciousness itself can never sleep. The outer world of matter fades away, Releasing all the burdens of the day. [Chorus] The spirit's true domain! Beyond the reach of earthly time and pain. It is the waking of the inner sight, The eternal day disguised as mortal night. A hidden sanctuary where we soar, Returning to the everlasting shore! [Verse 2] We leave the fragile instrument behind, To walk the higher regions of the mind. We gather vital power from the source, To give the waking world its daily force. The physical is just the place we roam, But this will always be the spirit's home. [Chorus] The spirit's true domain! Beyond the reach of earthly time and pain. It is the waking of the inner sight, The eternal day disguised as mortal night. A hidden sanctuary where we soar, Returning to the everlasting shore! [Bridge] The waking world believes the sleeper blind, A temporary fading of the mind. But sleep is just the turning of the gaze, To find the light beyond the heavy maze! [Final Chorus] The spirit's true domain! Beyond the reach of earthly time and pain. It is the waking of the inner sight, The eternal day disguised as mortal night. A hidden sanctuary where we soar, Returning to the everlasting shore! [End]
