The Same Magnet

Lyrics
The outside thing that you see And the inside thing that you are Are poles – of the same magnet Or back and front of the same coin Without one there isn’t the other That means, of course, then, that we are living in the midst of a world of animals, vegetables, minerals, atmospheres, astronomical bodies that’s highly intelligent It’s intelligence concentrated, crystallized, in our brains That’s where it comes out, you see? In any field The outside thing that you see And the inside thing that you are Are poles – of the same magnet Or back and front of the same coin Without one there isn’t the other Let’s take any field of forces Take a chemical solution, and at certain critical points in this chemical solution, the crystals start to form And so, in the same way, the total intelligence of this whole universe crystallizes in human brains Also in other kinds of brains That’s where it really comes out But it’s the total intelligence of the whole field that does this So we go with the whole thing; interdepend with it
