Everyone's coming. Everyone's on the way.
The highway to heaven is jammed.
The road rage I understand.
Because everyone's coming. Everyone's on the way.

Pull off the road, Mister Messiah.
Where you exit, that's where I am.
I'll be waiting for you.

But you're on the highway to heaven.
On the road jammed.
And everyone's coming. Everyone's on the way.
When will you find the time to pull off the road?

Where you exit, that's where I am.
I'll be waiting for you, Mister Messiah
Like a Messiah,
Understand?

Beloved,
your love has made me fearless.
The Great Ray of your grace
has cracked the shell of my soul,
and I have spilled out.
I have been flowing inwards to you
ever since.

I have risen from the ashes of regret.
I shall spend this life
like a millionaire
and count no loss

I'm trying to put some of Rudolph Steiners ideas
into a context I can understand. He really liked to
associate "Beings" with everything. Each human has
an Angel; On/In the sun lives the Christ Being (my
teacher said "Well, there is a lot about the Sun we
don't know. A lot of the Sun is not physical in the
way we know it"). In Steiners philosophy there is a
hierarchy of Beings; for instance the Archangel
Michael was an Archangel, but he was promoted to an
Archai 100(or so)years ago. Others in the hierarchy
include Cherubim, Angels, Seraphim, Exousiai etc.
They apparently live on planets in our solar
system...This sounds really, supremely idiotic to
me. They (Anthroposophists) also say that the Earth
is going to turn into a new Sun when all of the
people have been "enlightened" or whatever their
word is for the realization of non-duality.
Everything apparently revolves around humans on
Earth. I asked my teacher about human type Beings
in other solar systems and he implied that the
question wasn't relevant because All was One
anyway. "The truth is paradoxical" he said.

I can understand that All is One, and that the
truth is paradoxical. I could understand if the
Hierarchies were symbolic language for degrees of
Realization. But they are not. Are there spiritual
beings who are more evolved, as a group, than
humans are as a group? That makes sense I
suppose...If everything is One, yet there are
degrees of separation from the One, I guess a
hierarchy could happen. Any ideas on this?

Oh yeah, is it considered bad form to tell a
teacher his chosen philosophy sounds bogus? Maybe I
shouldn't have said that.
