I'm releasing songs from the soundtrack for my book,
PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia.

This song is called "Moon Lodge."




If you have any trouble downloading the mp3, go HERE. Right-click the downward-facing arrow. On a Mac, click the mouse on the arrow as you press "Control."



Here are the lyrics:

Breathe sweetly and deeply

As you inhale
Remember that the calcium in your bones and the iron in your blood were originally created
at the core of a red giant star
that died billions of years ago

As you exhale
Allow your perfect animal body
to gently explode with luminous gratitude
Feel streams of orgiastic compassion
flowing out of your wild heart in spiral hallelujahs

+

You are becoming very relaxed.
Your eyes are growing very calm.
All tension is leaving your body.
But you are NOT getting sleepy.
In fact, you feel more awake and alive
than you ever have before

+

I will buy all the Pizza Huts in the world
and convert them
into a global network
of menstrual huts
where for a few days each month, every one of us,
men and women alike,
can resign from the crazy-making 9-5.
We'll drop out and slow down,
break trance and dive down
into eternal time

Break away from the matrix
Boycott the media
Live outside of Babylon
Outwit the tedium

We'll research and study the distinctions
between boring pain
and fascinating pain

We'll be experts at choosing good problems
more original sins
more sacred profane

We'll be curators of epiphanies
masters of curiosity
exorcists of grandiosity
geniuses of reciprocity

We'll kick our own asses
Wash our own brains
Commune with the ancestors
Heal each other's pain

Be each other's teachers
Save each other's lives
Sing songs to the future
and be our own wives

+

You have fire in your blood and sea salt in your tears

Your lucky number is 3.14159

The colors of your soul are ivory, vermillion, sable, and jade

You have a secret name that will be revealed to you very soon

Your magic talisman is a thousand-year-old Joshua tree whose flowers blossom just one time each year and can only be pollinated by the yucca moth

Your magic verbs are dig, descend, and disclose

This perfect moment has been brought to you by the imaginary lightning blots that you can fling from the end so your fingertips any time you want to
