The Evolution Revolution/
One Soul, One Essence, One Being
© 1999
This is the rap that started me on the path of the Evolution Revolution and brought me here/now. All of these songs, raps, psalms and poems were given as a Gift—they are birthed through me, not written by me as the result of thought or intention. They are triggered by something I hear or see, or a phrase that comes into my awareness, and the next thing I know, words are flowing out of my hand onto paper, and out of my mouth simultaneously.
The Evolution Revolution rap was inspired by the last few chapters of Conversations With God/Volume 3, by Neale Donald Walsch—which I read whilst in India/1999. I was so blown away by the contents that I did something I've never done before or since: when I finished the book I went back to the beginning and read the whole thing a second time through. There were phrases* that burrowed right into me—'the Evolution Revolution' being one, and 'we are One & there's enough' being another. When I finished reading the book for the second time, I picked up a pen and this flowed out non-stop. It's even more pertinent today than it was when it was written—twenty-one years ago. *Used with permission of the author.
This song
is dedicated to
the One Beyond All Names & Forms
and
to all the Souls
who have held the Vision
and practiced
the Teachings of the Enlightened Ones
in order to transform themselves
and our world
The Evolution Revolution is our only solution
‘for we kill ourselves with our insanity
the nuclear madness, environmental sadness
all the actions that deny our Unity—
the Evolution Revolution’s what we need
We better recognize the simple truth before we go too far
we better act as if we all, are One—
Our possession/obsession has brought us to the brink,
a chain is only strong as—its weakest link,
what makes us think we can progress
as others sink in need,
We are drowning in the quicksand of our greed—
the Evolution Revolution’s what we need
We’re driving down a lonely road without a spare tire
we’re bound by our anger, and by our desire
We’ve come to a crucial time for the human race:
tinkering with technology can blow us into space
or viruses could kill us all and not leave a trace—
We better face it: we’re children with matches.
We are drowning in the quicksand of our greed—
the Evolution Revolution’s what we need
Each idea that separates is what we must release
if we want to change our ways and start to live in peace
All worry/pressure/conflict, comes from ‘yours’ and ‘mine’
There's more than enough to go around—
everyone could be fine!
Because we can do it differently—there is a way ‘out’
the Evolution Revolution is what it’s all about.
Who you truly are—who you choose to be,
this is the secret that will set us all free—
the Evolution Revolution’s what we need
Change yourself and change the world—
the power’s in your mind
Acknowledgment of Oneness will lead you to find:
everyone is ‘you’—just havin’ a hard time.
Everyone is ‘you’—just wantin’ a fair chance,
so wake up! and lighten up! get out of your trance!
You can make a difference—we can get it right,
We don’t have to struggle, we don’t have to fight
We are One and there’s enough, so let go of your greed—
the Evolution Revolution is what we need
Who you truly are, who you choose to be
is the fuel that drives the engine of change.
If you don’t like the way it is, get up off the ground—
do the hokey-pokey, and turn yourself around.
Embody the Consciousness, the sacredness of Life
we don’t have to live in fear, or live in stress and strife—
We’re One Soul, One Being, One Essence
so open up and step into that Presence
It’s the Truth and the Wisdom, of what we’re meant to be—
give yourself a break, and set yourSelf free
We are One and there’s enough, so let go of your fear—
the Evolution Revolution, has started to appear
You are not your body, you are not your mind
you are infinite, eternal—out of space and time
Tune into that Consciousness, you will surely see:
pure spirit, the All in All—that is what we be
BE Love, BE Light, BE Kindness
acting like you’re not is just blindness
We’re One Soul, One Being, One Essence
so open up and step into that Presence
It’s the Truth and the Wisdom of what we’re meant to be
you are Light, you are Love—set yourSelf free!
We are One and there’s enough, so let go of your stuff—
the Evolution Revolution is happenin’—sure enuff!!!
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of Nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.”
Albert Einstein
