• Gargatholil from The UniverseDéjà Vu is a very explicit song about karma and reincarnation and the Cosmic Game that we all find ourselves trapped in because of the Law of Karma. We are all caught in repeating cycles of behavior—behavior not only on this plane but on the astral planes, as well. At certain points, as the song’s storyline describes, the consequences of our behaviors come to a head and we are thrust into a karmic crisis. This may involve confronting those to whom we owe some karmic debt. The song references a karmic debt that appears to be the result of our involvement in a mind game in which all of our confronters are also involved. We have all, at some point in our many-life existence, been involved in such games. Payment for the debt is demanded—often through our having to go through some unpleasant happening. We are confused and bewildered, as is the song’s protagonist. We may not clearly remember the circumstances through which this debt originated but we are sure that we would not repeat the same mistake again.
  It is just that, however. We have repeated the same mistake, again and again and again, each time we go around the karmic wheel. As described in the song, the sequence of karmic events leads us right back into the exact same circumstances we had repeated before. Yet we have no clear memory of this—only a feeling that we have been here, done this all before.
  So, we must ask ourselves, what is going on below the ground? What games are being played in our subconscious mind—in the Mind—of which we remain unaware and into which we are trapped? How can we break the karmic Cycle of Birth, Death and Rebirth? This is the universal condition. This is the Devil’s bargain in which we are all caught. This is what we have to figure out.

• Mark B. Stoned from Desperate Hot Springs, CaI recall learning about the conservation of matter and energy in a science class years ago. We learned that matter is constantly recycled and never goes away, but that when energy is recycled, a little bit disappears each time until there is eventually none left. I think Crosby is onto something, though. In stating that everything in the universe is composed of matter and energy, science seems to overlook the possibility of a third component that is not so easily detectable: consciousness. We often speak of the mind, body, and soul; I believe these to merely be individual representations of the universal elements of consciousness, matter, and energy. If both matter and energy are recycled, I would assume that consciousness is also. If that is the case, then I think that would explain the things that Crosby refers to.
