If 6 Was 9
Jimi Hendrix
hear it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsCUopuxsxU(Yeah)
(Sing the song)
If the sun refused to shine,
I dont mind, I dont mind.
(yeah)
If the mountains, ah, fell in the sea,
Let it be, it aint me.
(well, all right)
Got my own world to live through and, uh, ha !
And I ain't gonna copy you!
Yeah (sing the song brother...)
Now if a six, uh huh, turned out to be nine,
Oh I dont mind; I dont mind uh - ( well all right... )
If all the hippies cut off all their hair,
Oh I dont care, oh I dont care.
Dig.
'Cause I've got my own world to live through, and uh, huh
And I ain't gonna copy you.
White collar conservative flashin' down the street;
Pointin' their plastic finger at me: Ha!
They're hopin' soon my kind will drop and die, but uh -
I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high!
Oww !
Wave on, wave on...
Ah, ha, ha
Fall mountains, just dont fall on me!
Go ahead on, mister business man; you can't dress like me!
Yeah !
(Don't nobody know what I'm talkin' about.)
I've got my
own life to live.
I'm the one that's gonna die when it's time for me to die,
So
let me live my life the way I want to.
Yeah, sing on brother, play on drummer.
-------------------
Sing on,
Faul; Play on,
"Ringo" (imo.)This is quite a song, when you analyze it. Do you notice the musical "descent into madness"
that it ends in? Much as Faul's "Anyway" on "Chaos and Creation..." does?
The person in this song is escaping, on the run, etc.
Hendrix was right when he says, "Don't nobody know what I'm talking about" here, because
(imo) he's talking about Paul McCartney being on the run, something 'nobody' knew about
at the time the song came out.
The singer says, "If the sun refused to shine, I dont mind, I dont mind."
A bit of a different sentiment than "I'll follow the sun", wouldn't you say?
He goes on to cite Apocolyptic scenarios in describing his condition:
"If the mountains, ah, fell in the sea,
Let it be; it aint me!"
and
"Fall mountains, just don't fall on me!"
Why? (I'll explain in a minute! ;D)
But most telling are these lines: "I've got my
own life to live.
I'm the one that's gonna die
when it's time for me to die!"
And not a moment before!
So what's going on here? Remember this?:
"
One day, you'll look to see I've gone,
For tomorrow may rain,
so I'll follow the sun
Some day, you'll know: I was the one....
And now the time has come(!)
and so, my love, I must go.
And though I lose a friend
In the end you will know. Ohhhhh"
The person singing this song was going to "follow the sun" and, basically, vanish after a while.
He knew ahead of time that this was going to happen.
And apparently he had agreed to it.
He even tells us this: the time has come, and so my love, I must go.
Now it's worth noting here that most Christians try to follow "the Son" in observing their faith,
following, to the best of their ability, the example He set. But what happened to "the Son"?
He was killed before his time! Or at least, before he ever had a chance to get old.
("I hope I die before I get old" just may be a clue of some sort from "The Who",btw.)
And the guy, singing this song, has pledged to "follow the 'sun'", and now the time has come, and.....
And maybe instead of going through with "following the sun"
to the point of being killed,
he decides instead he's going to
run like hell!
You see, if he was going to play the role of the 'son' god in the "end times" when mountains
would fall into the sea, and re-enact the role of Christ, and in effect, be the 'sun god' then
he would be "the sun", the one with all the power, having paid the price.
But what does this guy say? "Hey! If 'the sun' doesn't shine for the rest of humanity, so be it!
I'm outta here! Let the Apocolypse occur; it's not
my problem. It's not me; I'm not
the sun! I'm going to die when it's
my time to die! I ain't gonna be no sacrifice! Let humanity
perish; I don't mind."
The one playing the "sacrificial lamb" for the unworthy plastic businessmen (sacrifice in the
Masonic ritual, perhaps) said, "Screw that! I'm gone!"
He became the "Nowhere Man". (Isn't he a bit like you and me?)
Just a wee little bit, perhaps? (Ahem.)
If 6 was 9. If the devil, perhaps, was trying to be 9, numerically the completion. If the 'weak human'
failed his mission, and so Revolution 9, the evolution of humanity to a state of lovingness,
didn'toccur, then....
Then maybe we have "911" and Bush. Instead of what was meant to be.
The sacrifice fled. Or at least the one representing it.
Or did he?
So 9 is 10? So says youknowmyname123.
Then 'Revolution 9', completion of humanity in what would have been the 9th cycle, where we'd
be loving beings, now is to be accomplished in "10". And where-as 1 is "the fool", 10 is 1, ten times over.
Or, put another way, "a crowd of 'fools' ". A crowd of people stood and stared. A crowd of
people turned away. But a crowd of people, foolish though they may be, have, none-the-less
begun the journey to fulfillment as loving beings.
In the Tarot, the number 10 card is the "Wheel of Fortune".
You've seen it on a million TV game shows, but it does favor, generally, those who are
about to be blessed by it. In other words, the "Wheel of Fortune" generally favors the endeavor
of the crowd of fools in their quest to achieve real humanity.
I have to admit, it's getting better; a little better all the time.
better, better, better!So, perhaps, if 6 (you and me, bro) failed his mission, we none-the-less press on, now wearing
the shoes 'the sun' would have worn ourselves, but walking that path, none-the-less.
