It occurred to me as I was surfing the net today, that the lyrics to The Inner Light describe exactly what I was doing. Without going out of my door or looking out my window I was learning things from all around the Earth! Then it occurred to me that the title of the song was very close to "The Internet."
Isn't that cool?
THE INNER LIGHT
George Harrison
/c\ 1968 Northern Songs
Without going out of my door
I can know all things of earth
Without looking out of my window
I could know the ways of heaven
The farther one travels
The less one knows
The less one really knows
Without going out of my door
You can know all things of earth
With out looking out of my window
You could know the ways of heaven
The farther one travels
The less one knows
The less one really knows
Arrive without travelling
See all without looking
Do all without doing

"THE INTERNET" can be made as an anagram from the words THE INNER LIGHT, but I'm sure George
was refering to being aware of one's inner spiritual resources, including the possibility of
astral travel or remote viewing.

"INTERNET" can, but not "THE INTERNET"

THE INNER LIGHT
available letters to form each word:
TTHHEEIINNRLG
therefore:
THE INTERNET
You may have thought that since the two "T" and "E"s were used for the word "INTERNET" that
they would not have been available for the word "THE", but this isn't Scrabble, where letters
are used up with one use. The number of letters that can be used in each word to be made
is the same number of times it appears in the phrase to be anagrammed.
(No words with three "T"s, for example, can be made with this set of letters, but any number of
words with two "T"s can.)

I believe that George was inspired by I Ching...an Eastern religious writing....
Don't know if that was Confucious, or some other wise old Eastern wise man....
Going into himself and getting his wisdom from his inner "god". something like that....

It's like how A.D. is supposed to stand for Anno Domini, though it really stands for Anno Damydal. (I say this over and over, and still nobody has seen her...) -j |

Heh. That's ccinri - 2, everybody else - 0. It just goes to show how the most obvious things can be hiding right out in plain sight, and nobody will notice (until you start waving a big red flag...) How many subtle little things have we, collectively as a group, completely missed in The Beatles' lyrics and pictures??? Many, I think. -j |
