New Seers and Old Seers

[Nu Lang]

Yes, Carlos even gave Don Juan a mystique, becasue he admired DJ, so wrote about his shining eyes, his graceful gait, his superb timing...remember how he got on that bus first meeting?...timed so perfect and picturesque...Carlos drawing us readers into his vision. But at this juncture we as experienced warriors would do better to see him as a dirty, plain ole Indian, you seem to be saying...which is I think the case that would help many a warrior begin to look to him/herself as magical instead, due to the object of worship (DJ) being so like us...human, regular in this world of objects.



Movie stars are the same, perceived as super human...till you meet them in person, then you realize so much is altered by modern tech (TV, computer, magazines, books etc) and distant admiration and build up of reputations, glitter, glamor, grandiosity. Illusions really. Styx wrote about this phenomena called the grand illusion.

Welcome to the Grand illusion

Come on in and see what's happening

Pay the price, get your tickets for the show

The stage is set, the band starts playing

Suddenly your heart is pounding

Wishing secretly you were a star.



But don't be fooled by the radio

The TV or the magazines

They show you photographs of how your life should be

But they're just someone else's fantasy

So if you think your life is complete confusion

Because you never win the game

Just remember that it's a Grand illusion

And deep inside we're all the same.

We're all the same...



So if you think your life is complete confusion

Because your neighbors got it made

Just remember that it's a Grand illusion

And deep inside we're all the same.

We're all the same...



America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition

Get yourself a brand new motor car

Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on Earth's this spell we're under

We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are
