You got something to prove,
Tell me, whose eyes you gonna use?
Come up to meet you
Tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
You’re falling out of reach, defying gravity
I know you’re out there
Somewhere out there
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let’s go back to the start
Running in circles; coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Your sky is full of dreams
But you don’t know how to fly
Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments and they wander off through equation after equation and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science;
science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Open hearts, feel about it
Open minds, think about it
Everyone, read about it
Everyone, scream about it!
Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
“People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations,” Ellis argues. “For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations.”
Ellis has published a paper on this. “You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that.
What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models.
A lot of cosmology tries to hide that.”
George F. R. Ellis

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I’m going back to the start
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that
makes the existing model obsolete.
I don’t have a simple answer
But I know that I could answer
Something better
To attain this transmutation, this metamorphosis of himself, he is taught first to purify and subdue his sensual nature; then to purify and develop his mental nature; and finally, by utter surrender of his old life and losing his soul to save it, he rises from the dead a Master, a just man made perfect, with larger consciousness and faculties, an efficient instrument for use by the Great Architect in His plan of rebuilding the Temple of fallen humanity, and capable of initiating and advancing other men to a participation in the same great work.
It takes only one independent and effective
rational mind to change the paradigms of understanding
for the rest of humankind.
Don’t wait for an invitation,
No need for reservation
This life is an exploration and you gotta see
what I see in you
