Even when I was a little girl -- even then
No one could tell me why, no one convinced me,
Through the cathedral,
The high windows spilling crimson light
Cross the deceived ones, no evidence of grace in their eyes
But when I saw the father, shaken, spent like spare change,
On his knees and under the gun
Then I wondered what would become of me
You might have told me that love is not enough
You might have lied and told me that it was,
The gilded cage and the holy three
Don't tell the truth as far as I can see
And in the end you choose someone, something, and
Others fade from view
And the world outside your lives exhausts you
Therein lies the ritual, you harbor no curiosity for the
High windows, the crimson light, or the deceived ones -
Dying randomly
But when I saw the father, shaken, spent like spare change,
On his knees and under the gun
Then I wondered what would become of me
You might have told me that love is not enough
You might have lied and told me that it was,
The gilded cage and the holy three
Don't tell the truth as far as I can see
The Mystic Heart - Part 2 - A Likely Story (04:15)
In this dialogue series, Brother Wayne Teasdale and Ken Wilber discuss the advent of an integral
mysticism in the postmodern world. Reflecting on their own spiritual experiences, the relation of
science to spirituality, the lives of the great inter-spiritual pioneers, and how youth culture is
revitalizing the mystical traditions, Brother Wayne and Ken show how an integral perspective can
bring the revelations of mysticism into everyday life. In so doing, we learn to give fullest
expression ...

exactly nothing ! if one is aware for himself thru experience, he is also aware for his brother which is made up of the same nothing/ something . seperation through words .lectures, philosophy or my own egotistic speach cant explain anything . in the end there is no cup to fill. nothing = ).
