‘I am a Rock’:

‘I am alone; gazing from my window, to the streets below ...
I am a rock, I am an island ...
I build walls; a fortress steep and mighty, that none may penetrate;
I have no need for friendship; friendship cause pain ...
I am a rock, I am an island ...
I am shielded in my armour; hiding in my room, safe within my womb,
I touch no one; and no one touches me ...
I am a rock, I am an island ...
And a rock feels no pain; and an island never cries’.
(Excerpts from ‘I am a Rock’, First released 1966 on the ‘Sounds of Silence’ album).

The Third Alternative

(Peace On Earth In This Life Time As This Flesh And Blood Body)

Here is an actual freedom from the Human Condition, surpassing Spiritual Enlightenment and any other Altered State Of Consciousness, and challenging all philosophy, psychiatry, metaphysics (including quantum physics with its mystic cosmogony), anthropology, sociology ... and any religion along with its paranormal theology. Discarding all of the beliefs that have held humankind in thralldom for aeons, the way has now been discovered that cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anyone to be, for the first time, a fully free and autonomous individual living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
