Resurrection/Reincarnation… Star Marker is too established
to fade away so easily- at least for now. Several regulars have noted our recent
absence, so we’ll make an attempted come back. Hence, the current topic. It seems that the topic is appropriate in
that it’s related to our absence since the new year: the subject of New Years’ resolutions: our
wish to remake ourselves each new year.
So … George Harrison’s “Within You Without You”… A sitar-based/Hindu based piece that seems to convey the sense of a
world beyond the one we normally perceive: that there may be more to reality than that which
humans perceive.
The use of the sitar in itself conveys the appropriate other-worldly
atmosphere.
While not directly focused on resurrection, the song calls
to mind the fact that there are cultures that see the world in a different
light; it raises the idea that our lives may not end with the one we now
know/experience.
Death does not have to mean the end. We each possess the
potential to “save the world” if we could only see beyond our limited view of
our present world.
