            1  2  3
I & I & I & I  
               
  This is the first formulation that we need to concern ourselves with.
The terms of this lexiconumerical pronouncement can be analyzed thus:
 
     

I = Innocence
"I" of revelation

"The information is available"

"No original sins,
      the house always wins"
4

Beginning from the premise of perfection, the visible world becomes available as needed (which, let's face it, is a lot).

  .
     
 
     
.  

I = Instinct
God's "I"

"The information is received"

Instinctively selecting from the available panorama, this "I" allows for impressions caused by the visible world to be faithfully projected and resolved on the holy LCD of consciousness.

     
 
     

I = Intelligence
Third "I"

"The information is processed"

The image is edited and reiterated as needed in order to arrive at some proximal goal or ambition which has been chosen for us (never mind how or why or by whom).

  .
     
 
     
.  

I = Imminence/
Impermanence

All-Seeing "I"

"The information is free"

The imminence of one's own death, silly. We see that yesterday is our birthday, today is our life, and tomorrow we are gone. So we have just one day to do whatever it is we want to do, and that day is today.

Take me, for example — I've got my basic tracks in the can, I have a drop-dead completion date, so right now I should be working on vocals...which is why I'm doing this instead.

    
       
 

A suggestion

Go to the iTunes music store and type into the search window:
   Blood of the Prophet (parts 1 & 2)

Play the free sample clip —
   You now have 30 seconds to read the above again while the clip is playing 5

If you like what's happening, like what you're hearing,
   you may use your
discretionary dollar to download the whole track.

Alternatively, you may want to check out the other cuts from the Max Romeo album Open the Iron Gate (1973-1977) — especially Every Man Ought to Know and Open the Iron Gate (Parts 1 & 2).
Pick out any one you like.

I reckon this will cost you US$0.99 so there will be a penny left over.
   Keep that and buy yourself something nice.

     
  Yikes — it's 11:11 - I gotta bounce up outahere and I mean NOW!
