    Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts

    Travel like a king
    Listen to the inner voice
    A higher wisdom is at work for you
    Conquering the stumbling blocks come easier
    When the conqueror is in tune with the infinite
    Every ending is a new beginning
    Life is an endless unfoldment

    Change your mind, and you change your relation to time
    You can find the answer
    The solution lies within the problem
    The answer is in every question

    Dig it?

    An attitude is all you need to rise and walk away

    Inspire yourself

    Your life is yours

    It fits you like your skin
    The oak sleeps in the acorn
    The giant sequoia tree sleeps in its tiny seed

    The bird waits in the egg
    God waits for his unfoldment in man
    Fly on, children

    Play on
    You gravitate to that which you secretly love most
    You meet in life the exact reproduction of your own thoughts
    There is no chance, coincidence or accident
    In a world ruled by law and divine order
    You rise as high as your dominant aspiration
    You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self

    Free your mind and your ass will follow
    The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers
    Its nature is to respond to your thoughts

    Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind
    For seeds grow after their kind
    Play on, children
    Every thought felt as true
    Or allowed to be accepted as true by your conscious mind

    Take roots in your subconscious
    Blossoms sooner or later into an act
    And bears its own fruit
    Good thoughts bring forth good fruit
    Bullsh#t thoughts rot your meat
    Think right, and you can fly
    The kingdom of heaven is within

    Free your mind, and your ass will follow

    Play on, children

    Sing on, lady

    Lyrics by George Clinton

    Music by Eddie Hazel

    From “Standing On the Verge of Getting It On,” a 1974 album by Funkadelic, released on Westbound Records.
