Entangled Video (MV)

In case you haven't heard yet
We are left over star stuff
Thermonuclear fusion made this possible
Entropy will break it down
Supernova explosions to spread it out
The death of a billion suns
It's ingeniously absurd
Emergence did churn and
Turned in
To all of us
Entropy and emergence
Over and over
We emerged from the wreckage
With only so much fuss

We are the universe experiencing
Itself
Collections of molecules
Aware
Entangled
Not apart
And the expanse of our interconnections
Are still being charted
Why assume our minds are separate
From the rest of it
What if consciousness
Wasn't something that we strictly created
Not a lonely mechanical
Spark in a void
Not self-contained but
Entangled

Everything else is bound
In chemical unity and
Common origin
Of celestial forge and flame
So why would consciousness
Be anything less than
Likewise entangled
What if our brains are
Less combustion engine generator
And more radio receiver?
Picking up a wavelength
Some singular cosmic utterance
And our minds dance to that song
Through all the static

This dance of thought
Has four basic steps
Perception, imagination
Integration and action
Every single one
Every single time caused by
Moving charges and ion gradients
Action potentials in
Our nervous systems
Look at the rhythms man
Look at the rhythms we have learned to
To work with

If you forget for a moment
The social policies and moral prescriptions
Of philosophies and world religion
Most all of them say this in common
We are of infinitely deep
Connection and
Oneness
Whatever else that gets added is just
Personal flourish
Entangled in a cosmic dance
Of this consciousness
