Somewhat old topic, but I can't believe no one has said any of this..
Alright, let me tell you this...
If knowing, that a portrait of Aleister Crowley (whom many dub the master Satanist of the 20th century) was on the cover of Sargeant Pepper.. would you still listen to the Beatles? There are many middle-eastern gurus, Freemasons, etc. on there as well. I'm not too sure if it's true, but even Hitler was supposed to be on it but it was deemed too controversial and was taken off of it last minute.
Paul McCartney said of Sgt. Pepper's cover, ". . . we were going to have photos on the wall of all our
HEROES . . ." (Musician, Special Collectors Edition, - Beatles and Rolling Stones, 1988, p.12).
Did you know or catch that in the song Revolution, the lyrics are... "But when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out? ...In?" The "In" is clearly in the song, a beat after the "out". Go and listen to it now.
I was going to mention My Sweet Lord, too, I am glad you brought it up, If Not For Grace.
What seems to be a catchy pop tune for the general Christian, is quite a trick that Harrison used to suck you in for another purpose. Here are the lyrics:
My sweet lord
Hm, my lord
Hm, my lord
I really want to see you
Really want to be with you
Really want to see you lord
But it takes so long, my lord
My sweet lord
Hm, my lord
Hm, my lord
I really want to know you
Really want to go with you
Really want to show you lord
That it won't take long, my lord (hallelujah)
My sweet lord (hallelujah)
Hm, my lord (hallelujah)
My sweet lord (hallelujah)
I really want to see you
Really want to see you
Really want to see you, lord
Really want to see you, lord
But it takes so long, my lord (hallelujah)
My sweet lord (hallelujah)
Hm, my lord (hallelujah)
My, my, my lord (hallelujah)
I really want to know you (hallelujah)
Really want to go with you (hallelujah)
Really want to show you lord (aaah)
That it won't take long, my lord (hallelujah)
Hmm (hallelujah)
My sweet lord (hallelujah)
My, my, lord (hallelujah)
Hm, my lord (hare krishna)
My, my, my lord (hare krishna)
Oh hm, my sweet lord (krishna, krishna)
Oh-uuh-uh (hare hare)
Now, I really want to see you (hare rama)
Really want to be with you (hare rama)
Really want to see you lord (aaah)
But it takes so long, my lord (hallelujah)
Hm, my lord (hallelujah)
My, my, my lord (hare krishna)
My sweet lord (hare krishna)
My sweet lord (krishna krishna)
My lord (hare hare)
Hm, hm (Gurur Brahma)
Hm, hm (Gurur Vishnu)
Hm, hm (Gurur Devo)
Hm, hm (Maheshwara)
My sweet lord (Gurur Sakshaat)
My sweet lord (Parabrahma)
My, my, my lord (Tasmayi Shree)
My, my, my, my lord (Guruve Namah)
My sweet lord (Hare Rama)
[fade:]
(hare krishna)
My sweet lord (hare krishna)
My sweet lord (krishna krishna)
My lord (hare hare)
Notice how the first part of the song is nice and fine, plenty of Hallelujahs floating around. Now take a look at the bold part. Hmm.. Hare Krishna? What is that? Well it's part of a mantra meant to praise the Hinduistic 'god of creation', Vishnu. Harrison gives his thoughts..
"A mantra is mystical energy encased in a sound structure and each mantra contains within its vibrations a certain power. But of all mantras, the maha-mantra (the Hare Krishna mantra) has been prescribed as the easiest and surest way for attaining God Realization in this present age."
George Harrison (1943-2001),
in his autobiography :'I, me and Mine'
Another example is the cover of the 'Butchered' album, Yesterday And Today. The photo displays the Beatles covered in white butcher coats, covered in slabs of raw meat, butchered baby doll parts, and false teeth. The photographer has his explanation.. take it how you will.
It is known that many of the Beatles' songs were used for Illuminati mind-control experiments.
I could go on for awhile, but I think you get the gist of it. If you think the song is worth listening to, that's up to you.
