bodies...i'm not an animal

MP3: Everyone I Know Has A Body (5 mb)

It's been said that the only reason we have bodies is so we'll be able to take our heads to the places they want to go. That's kind of funny when you think about it, but it implies the body is just a shell - a container - for the mind, and that tends to reinforce the feeling of separation between the two.

I'm inclined lately to think of the body as being like ice cream, and our consciousness is the flavor that permeates throughout it. But then, I love ice cream and haven't thought this through to the last delicious bite, so don't hold it against me (although, if I said you had a lovely body you could certainly hold that against me, arh arh).

In the meantime, we all have bodies in their various shapes and conditions, and just as you probably wouldn't want to spend your whole life inside your house knowing there's a big world outside, why should we be so concerned about staying in our bodies all of the time?

The Fuel Burning Oracle has injected Who's Been in Your Dreams with his usual psychedelically experimental garnishings. You can find it in his MySpace player, and I'm pleased as punch! Be sure to check out his other tunes while you're there....


EVERYONE I KNOW HAS A BODY

Everyone I know has a body
Everyone I know has a body
Have you ever seen someone
Who doesn't have a body?

Everyone I know has a home inside their head
Everyone I know has a home inside their head
Have you ever met someone
Who doesn't have a body?

Drawing mandalas
And watching Captain Kangaroo
Let's go skinny dipping
In the energy pool

Toss that tambourine
And shake your maracas while you got 'em
We're just embryos
In the time machine

Everyone I know has a body
Everyone I know has a body
Have you ever known someone
Who doesn't have a body?

Drawing mandalas
And watching Captain Kangaroo
Let's go skinny dipping
In the energy pool

Toss that tambourine
And shake your maracas while you got 'em
We're just embryos
In the time machine

Have you ever been someone
Who doesn't have a body?
