'Listen To The News'
"The man of the gun comes shot up the son and the girl and the child and the mother, but the child is the son and the son is the child and the child is the son of the father and the passage of time just follows the line of the lore of the land and the dreamin"
"Listen to the news talking about the blues of people. So look for the day when the sun shines its rays, cause I know that a new day is dawning and dawning will come when the people as one shall rise to the light of the morning."

Music: Solar Quest / Singtree

Coherent consciousness creates order in the world
Subtle interactions link us with each other and the Earth
"When human consciousness becomes coherent and synchronized, the behavior of random systems may change. Quantum event based random number generators (RNGs) produce completely unpredictable sequences of zeroes and ones. But when a great event synchronizes the feelings of millions of people, our network of RNGs becomes subtly structured. The probability is less than one in a billion that the effect is due to chance. The evidence suggests an emerging noosphere, or the unifying field of consciousness described by sages in all cultures."
