Released: February 28, 2019
Featuring: Alan Watts
Songwriter: A Narkiewicz & Alan Watts
Producer: Akira The Don
The thing is that we have been educated to use our minds in a certain way
A way that ignores, or screens out, the fact that
[Chorus]
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
You see, it’s as if you had a light covered with a black ball, and in this ball were pinholes, and each pinhole is an aperture through which the light comes out
So in that way, every one of us is, actually, a pinhole through which the fundamental light
That is, the existence itself, looks out
Only, the game we’re playing is not to know this
To be only that little hole, which we call “me,” “my ego,” my specific “John Jones,” or whatever
[Chorus]
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
If, we can maintain, at the same time
The sense of being this specific John Jones with his role in life, or whatever, and know also, underneath this, that we are the whole works
You get a very marvelous and agreeable arrangement
This is a most remarkable harmoniousness, I mean, it gives one’s life a great sense of joy and exuberance, if you can carry on these two things at once
If you, in other words, you know that all the serious predicaments of life are a game
[Chorus]
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
A way that ignores, or screens out, the fact that
[Chorus]
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
Every one of us
Is an aperture
Through which the whole cosmos
Looks out
You see, it’s as if you had a light covered with a black ball, and in this ball were pinholes, and each pinhole is an aperture through which the light comes out
So in that way, every one of us is, actually, a pinhole through which the fundamental light
