The Spell is Cast

from SPELLS by The Light Switches

lyrics

1. Read the following incantation:

As secrets dwell in every bone
and pass through time as light intones
the melodies of dreams in drones
as crickets hum the hymns of home
the echoes of the ancients stray
a sojourn lost for time to play
through dark of night and light of day
I wish you well while on your way

2. Think of a dream you have for your life. If you could transform your existence for the better what would you change? What would you be doing for each hour of each day of your life if all things were ideal? And how would the realization of your dream affect the dreams of others? Breath deeply. Compassionately silence any doubts that may arise. Stubborn ones may be cast as stones into the sea. Momentarily enjoy the vision of a world where the unlimited potential of being is accessible.

3. Continue to breath deeply. Enjoy the sound and feeling of breath going in and coming out.

4. Explore your surroundings, locate a non-human living being with whom you have not been previously acquainted. Introduce yourself. Go on, don't be shy. Trees. Insects. Birds. Coyotes. They are a friendly sort contrary to what you read in the papers.

5. Dial 415 876 4648. You will hear the musical note F. Listen and try imitating the note. After the machine beeps, take a deep breath and sing the note through the phone, across time and space, and into the recording. Keep singing until you run out of breath. Hang up.

6. Go outside. Close your eyes. Remember your dream.

Thank you!
