The Monkees swami plus strings

Select language to translate this lyric

We were speaking of belief
Beliefs and conditioning
All belief possibly could be said
To be the result of some conditioning
Thus the study of history is simply
The study of one system of beliefs
Deposing another
And so on and so on and so on
A psychologically tested belief of our time
Is that the central nervous system
Which feeds it's impulses
Directly to the brain
Is unable to discern between the real and the vividly
Imagined experience if there is a difference
And most of us believe there is
Am I being clear?
To examine these concepts requires
Tremendous energy and discipline
To experience the now
Without preconception or belief
To allow the unknown to occur
And to occur requires clarity
For where there is clarity
There is no choice
And where there is choice, there is misery
But then why should anyone listen to me?
Why should I speak since I know nothing?
