I see myself promoting peace on stage.
I see myself walking on campuses and talking with students
Who are sensitive and intelligent.
I see myself standing with people beneath the flags of many nations.
I see myself on stage, producing fine art as others produce fine music.

Many times I have been inspired to create writings which express
my responses and my thoughts.
I have helped people express their responses and their thoughts.
I am not a vessel to fill with thousands of facts.
Instead I am a vessel pouring out thousands of works
of music, art, and writing.
This is my talent. I do not have an encyclopedic mind.
I�m not a thick book set up on a library shelf.
I�m not a professor, working up high in an ivory tower.

Even so, I have a theory of human evolution, health, and creativity,
A theory which I demonstrate as I move and breathe.
When I am under the influence of fine music I draw fine drawings
And I paint fine paintings which are expressions of the music itself.
It is not I who draws, but the musical composer who draws through me.
I become a transducer, converting fine music into fine art.
For me this is automatic, spontaneous, natural as my circulating oxygenated blood
Inside my body
To sustain my life.

And I make songs in the same way.
I respond to the music and the music puts words into my mouth.
I sing out the words and they become a song.
So now I have hundreds of songs,
Some whose music is mine and some whose music is
By other composers.

I see myself on stage, making drawings and paintings as the show goes on.
And at intermission and after the show
My art, and my writings, and other products can be sold.
Why not? This is often done.

You are invited to come visit me.
I will play for you tapes of music.
As the music plays I will draw using a pen.
I will sign my drawings and you can have them.
Bring me canvases and paints and I will paint on them for you.
It is the music which paints. Bring me music you like.
I�ll make paintings out of the music you like.
You can keep the paintings.

I will not charge you money if you haven�t any.
But the kinds of art I produce are marketable in the city.
My art is abstract, and I combine words with it and other objects.
I do drawings, I make paintings, and I put objects together
Into assemblages.

It would be nice if I could find a sponsor.
I would then have help in organizing my writings.
I would have help in obtaining art materials
And I would have help in displaying my art.
My handicaps in seeing and in promoting myself would be
overcome.

I would be free to be myself again without fear.
This would enable me to produce a lot more works.
But my best work is to be on stage
Showing people my theory put to practice.

This is what I would do best
On campus after campus after campus
Or even in high schools, to show the integration of the
personality using vegetarianism and light
And the kinesthetic intelligence, the intuition, and the reasoning mind
And other talents which are combined in the activities
Of an inspired creative person.

Hey! When I was one I heard loud martial music.
This caused me to become wild.
I threw food on the wall.
I called the piece of music by a name I made up.
I called that piece of music
�Splatted Food On The Wall.�

The message of the composer was made clear through me.
It was March Of The Wooden Soldiers
By Tchaikowsky
The famous composer.

In 1971
To become more at peace,
To become more tranquil,
I shut the windows on Hollywood
And Hollywood�s loud music.

I went into the world of peace and tranquillity
And made my own music.
And I did the same here where I live now.
I couldn�t help but let peace speak through my music.

So now you can listen to my music and
Hear the sounds of my joy and my peace.
You may even feel tired like a child feels
When you play or sing a lullaby.

This is better than feeling violent.
After all, I am promoting myself as the peacemaker.
And my music presents the message of peace in our time.
So do lots of my songs.
So I see myself on stage
As others are playing my music and singing my songs
So that people can feel the peace that is in my heart.

And I see myself making drawings and paintings as others are
Playing my music and singing my songs.
I see books I have written being sold as well.
I see a traveling show which comes to communities in different locations.
I see myself walking beneath the flags of every nation
Where people are encouraged to be free!

I should be free to present my research.
I should be free to present my art.
I should be free to present my writing.
I should be free to present my music.
I should be free.
I should be free.
I should be free.
So why can�t I just be?
Why can�t I be me?

When I smile my smile looks different.
When I talk my face looks different
And my eyes look different.
When I do art my art looks different.
My music and my poetry is different.
I�m not in lockstep with the times.

I�m responding to the times,
And I�m reacting to the people
Who prefer that I be
The way they expect me to be.

I�m a natural resister.
I resist the pressure to conform
Just to reinforce the popular norm.

I can�t conform so that my smile Is photogenic.

I wasn�t born to star on TV.
I was just born to be me.

I should be free to present my research.
I should be free to present my art.
I should be free to present my writing.
I should be free to present my music.
I should be free.
I should be free.
I should be free.
So why can�t I just be?
Why can�t I be me?

I see myself promoting peace on stage.
I see myself walking on campuses and talking with students
Who are sensitive and intelligent.
I see myself standing with people beneath the flags of many nations.
I see myself on stage, producing fine art as others produce fine music.

And
I see people in larger and larger numbers,
People who no longer feel any trace of rage,
I see people making music and getting to know
more and more and more people
Who are helping you and I together
Enter the Aquarian Age.

Yes!
I see people in larger and larger numbers,
People who no longer feel any trace of rage,
I see people making music and getting to know
more and more and more people
Who are helping you and I together
Enter the Aquarian Age.

Yes!
I see people in larger and larger numbers,
People who no longer feel any trace of rage,
Yes!
I see people making music and getting to know
more and more and more people
Who are helping you and I together
Enter the Aquarian Age.
Yes!

Yes!
Yes!
I see people in larger and larger numbers,
People who no longer feel any trace of rage,
Yes!
Yes!
I see people making music and getting to know
more and more and more people
Who are helping you and I together
Enter the Aquarian Age.

Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!

I see myself promoting peace on stage.
I see myself walking on campuses and talking with students
Who are sensitive and intelligent.
I see myself standing with people beneath the flags of many nations.
I see myself on stage, producing fine art as others produce fine music.
