THE DAIMON
“It would take me years to realize that what, in the first half of life, comes across to us as the benign, observing Other, in the second half begins to forcefully impose its own agenda on a Western mind. In both cases, we are talking about the same impersonal force within; the only difference is that, in the first half of life, its agenda happens to line up with ours—because it knows that we must first carve out a space in the world for ourselves, if we are to be useful and effective instruments of its expression later on—while in the second half it doesn’t. At all times, however, this impersonal force within is always only following its own agenda. To highlight the distinctly impersonal character of its behavior in the second half of life, I shall henceforth call this force the Daimon”

“For the true heavens are everywhere, even where you stand and walk. If your spirit grasps the innermost birth of God and penetrates the sidereal and fleshly birth then it is already in heaven”

“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

“For I am divided for love’s sake, for the chance of union. This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all.”

Nobody is spared in Everyday People. Nobody is given the Upper Hand. That is at the center at the song’s greatness. There isn’t a more fundamentally American 🇺🇸 Song in ANY genre.
