Seal if you still read the forum im love the new album and ive only heard the tracks on the warner site . Right life is awesome my fav so far so glad youve done the dance thing its so good thanks luv sue xx

I rather enjoy the song "Rolling" Well done! ...and how Immaculate follows.

"they say the problem with me is I am one who knows but I just don't (now) (I) understand"

Nice!

I am gonna go way back to some "theories" long long ago in another time because to leap from knowing to understanding there is something that lies in between. Being.

Since on this board I've opened Pandora's box in someways cause I've ventured into Deep Waters by talking about things well that are somewhat deep. It's my nature in writing and as a person.

Sidenote: Meeting in person I tend to go with the flow and can be rather subtle at times and very quiet but not for long or maybe depends on me being in the moment

But back to being...

This too me is still the key. I recently read a quote from Steve Jobs something to the effect "people don't read anymore". I agree. And it's a shame.

But READING is getting knowledge. To put that knowledge into practice takes time and is TOTALLY dependent on ones being and advances therein and of course what kind of books you are reading.

Now the big question is what is being?

mmmm I will give my 2 cents but remember my 2 cents are theories to explore not fact. Cause I really do not know... only for me do I know a little.

It is the sum of all of our parts. Our knowledge, our emotional life, thinking, health and all that comes with it. There is little except food and waste that has any material element in it.

However there is more than enough knowledge to obtain if we choose to absorb it. Who knows how many books I've read. lol I guess only I do...hehe

I will share with you all I recently have had a huge shock wave in the core of my being that began in my emotional life. And all I can say is if this area is damaged or heightned enough it can thwart or accerlerate our evolution i.e. our being into new realties

It's amazing (no pun intended) if ones health is great or bad how much that can affect the knowledge we have and convert it to understanding in which we have obtained.

And I never really thought about in years gone by but recently I have discovered the same is true for emotions. In fact emotions like the ancient Chinese discovered long ago effect our Health, knowledge and understanding far more then we give them credit and there is a misconception that we can think our way out of our emotional state if we think harder about them.

This can lead to depression, anxiety, dejection,rejection and a whole host of other areas that simply are too numerous to mention and a myriad of things I am sure that can't be simply 'thought' about. So we search or not search our being to get to an answer. But when knowledge and being are really out of whack lot's of weird behavior can arise. Which is way many "lose themselves" in there work. They find it a solace. Cause they are focusing on only one area of their being. They maybe very successful as far as how we measure that in our society, but internally they could be in serious pain in other 'aspects' of their being.

Which is why I understand why many of Hollywood's biggest star's go bonkers from time to time.

I think there is line in a Sting song that says something like 'I look through my books and can't find any of the answers I am looking for'. This is a very loose paraphrase of course. However, this is a classic example of knowledge and being not in sync. And how many times have you bought a book that you 'think' will solve your problems and it has all the right stuff for your life, but you can't pull it together?

It is simply an area of your being that can not digest that knowledge into understanding...yet.

This is why this line in this song is great in Rolling.

I just wanted to share this with you all.

Writing is a form of thinking. I think sometimes too much. I realize that. So on with the other aspects of my being as I plan to convert that thinking to much understanding.

Much Love to you All and Thank You

I think that Rolling is the best song on the System album Thanks for your insight, Fast.
