Song of the New Energy of Earth
No Agenda
Stay in the Expanded Now
The Child Within
Love Me in You
Darling Meher
Searching
Give me Shelter!
Hangin’ with th’ Enlightened
And Toby1 says the walls must come down
In Palestine, Africa and Korea
And if people won’t allow, they’ll come down by Gaia.
I woke up dreaming of the ocean
Will the plankton die from pollution?
(It’s) Our only [remaining] source of oxygen
Since they burned away the trees.
The frenzy for money and the sprawl of cities
Threatens to wipe out all the farmland
So where will we grow our food?
These thoughts paint Karen into a blue mood.
She steals water because she has no well
The heat wave in California is hotter than hell
The virtual dummies can sweat it out
‘til the power outages make’m shout
Is there a place to escape global warming?
When the ice melts it’s over
Until another Golden Age is dawning.
Without water the land is a desert barren
A goat, a garden, and a well for Meherkaren
To weave her songs in a safe space
While she watches the destruction
Of half the human race!
Standing behind the garden wall
Compassionately allowing it all.
Awaiting the crystal children to usher in awe
The Golden Age promised by Meher Baba.
When Karen’s songs and Miriam’s treatise2
Will be studied in schools that teach only bliss.
And Shri Shri’s 3got some old guys
Standing in the Ganges
Staring at the sun
Wondering if he’s gonna make it to Washington.
Hang in there dear one
We’re coming in soon
To bring some angelic collaboration
And to join in the celebration.

Sleeping children stir and yawn
As the rosy coral sky at dawn
Slows time down into the NOW
As we meditate never asking how.
Vigilant to please Baba we awaken each day
Keeping watch aware as His gopis at play.
Washing the laundry, cooking rice and dal
Everything was heavenly and time stood still.
Under the mango tree we sang at dusk
Hearing cow bells in harmony
Smelling incense burning with musk.
What miracle is in waiting
For God to beckon us near
How did I come to be here
With You Meher Baba my dear?
It’s been a wonderful week
But I’m too tired to stay awake
For Her darshan.
Beautiful moon in an azure sky
Hanging over a mountain high
Among the flowering hillsides.
Lovely night follows a beautiful day
Bright California blue sky way
Painted background forms bowers
For the green trees and flowers
That stand out in riotous colors.
Unusual rain pouring down in June
Birds singing in the green trees
Keep perfect rhythm and stay in tune
How many years I’ve spent looking
For my Father’s love and approval.
I sang well this morning at the hall
‘tho The Judge in me was not pleased at all.
He was not pleased on this Father ‘s Day
So I skipped the evening talk in the head
And went to Devi Bhava instead.
Alone at the Puja, I gave Her my despair
And loneliness and resistance
To my daily singing routine.
Because of all the hearts she is the Queen
Her Nazaar can clear the air
Of blockages to abundance and care
That prevent Creative endeavor.
I gave my heavy heart’s tremor
To the one they call Amma – the Divine Mama.
Listen to the Hum of Earth’s New Energy Breathe in, breathe IN Your own Divinity.
I lived the New Life for the New Humanity I sacrifice eternally.
I came to sow the seed of Love in your hearts The seed of Love in your hearts
The darling Seeds of Love are giving birth To play in the New Energy on Earth.
As the Swing of Duality ‑ accelarates alarmingly accelarates alarmingly
To awaken Baba’s seed within – Breathe IN, Breathe IN
Breathe in ‑ your own Divinity. Meher Baba
After the Hard Times of Reincarnation
Now is the time for joy ‑ Involution;
Playing in the Present NOW of Ascension
Ah what a long‑awaited celebration!
Meher the Most Fair made prophecy Of a New Life and the New Humanity.
So, we thought ‑ we were going Home ‑ at long last But alas!
But alas! Instead I see Meher Baba’s coming to us!
Playing in the Present NOW of Ascension Ah what a long‑awaited celebration!
Now I see Meher Baba Meher Baba’s come to meet us!
With every thought, word, and act
Am I changing the Home of All that Is and ever was?
Spirit doesn’t know the outcome and God has no Agenda?
Just a Whim to know Who I am and what is Love.
Releasing and allowing without an Agenda,
Like dancing with a penguin or a giant panda.
New Age folks set such good intentions
For World Peace, Organic Farms, positive affirmations!
Dreams and goals with or without karma
The uniqueness of each soul’s dharma.
How to accept All that Is without goals, judgment or alteration?
Wow! Dreams and goals without an Agenda!

Chorus: Stay in the expanded now Lean not to port nor star ward bow.
It’s in the NOW right here Stay in the present without fear.
1) Breathe in and let yourself feel Worry not how your body can heal
From all the past life waves Attract the potential that most behaves
The way you want to Be You can choose now to be still and free!
2) Do what you want to do Be what you want to be
Accept your wholly self You’re the source of your abundant wealth.
3) The past is guilt and hate The future fears that suffocate
Be in the Present NOW Release the past and future fears somehow.
4) The more you can allow Accept and honor in the Eternal NOW
The more will come to you The more your treasured dreams come true.
5) Breathe, feel, attract in the NOW These are the magic tools that will allow
Your Divinity to come forth Miracles to reflect your own self‑worth.
Simply breathe and accept your self In whatever state you find your self.
6) Don’t fret about your health or struggle for abundant wealth.
As you gaze upon a distant star breathe and feel who you really are
7) You were that star you see Now it’s time to own your Divinity.
It’s in the here and now Stay in the present Expanded Now.
Chorus:
The Child within us all came to me and said Get out of your head
Be real instead
Don’t grieve me Don’t judge me harshly
Get out of your head Let’s play instead
1) A golden, blue‑sky white cloud dusk met A purple pink streaked sunset
Poetry in motion, like a lovesick dove Cooing a song all day long.
2) Don’t put me down I’m not a clown
Let’s have some fun You’re always on the run.
3) Your days speed by and all you do for fun
is eat a lot of apple pie.
You’re always on the run Let’s have some fun. (Chorus)
4) You treat me like a pet You ignore until you get
The need for affection Then you demand my attention.
5) You invade my sanctuary Then tell me I’m bad
Sell your soul and mine for money Reject my play and make me sad. (Chorus)
6) I am the source of your wealth You don’t need to copy others in stealth.
I can give you riches and fun Just accept Me and don’t run.
Get out of your head Be real instead.
Get out of your head Let’s play instead.
When you come to see that I am in all Love Me in You
When you come to know my Will rules all Accept Me in All
When your fear shames your Art Know that I live in your heart
And all is precious my dear in you Love Me in you
Know the Divine lives in you Love me In you
Keep yourself always true Love Me in you
When your fear hurts your heart I am there just do your part
To accept the One who lives in you Love Me in you.
When the world hurts your heart I am there so don’t lose heart
Know the One who loves you True Love Me in you.
Oh my Darling Meher Baba
Precious Darling Meher Baba
The whole world adores You
but they don’t know who You are
So they fight and hurt You.
Oh my darling Meher Baba
Precious darling Meher Baba
I see you in the hearts of all and in the eyes
Of those who love you.
O my darling Lord Meher Baba
We look for we strive for
The things we want We fight for
compete for and know not why.
We travel we roam
the whole world o’er that yearning
that burning inside our soul.
Chorus:
Then, I looked within myself and asked for a miracle (pause)
Then God opened in me. Now wherever I go
I am God ALSO Oh my darling my darling I love you so.
God gave me what I wanted what I asked ME for
Now I don’t have to strive for and fight anymore
In peace and at home I no longer roam
I’m happy and grateful God gave me all
When, I looked within my own Soul and asked for a miracle (pause)
Then God appeared to me. Now wherever I go
I AM God ALSO Oh my darling my darling I love you so.
I’ve gone to all the gurus
All they’ve given is the blues
’cause my mother and sister are nuts
Wasted every cent my dad spilt his guts
Then out of cowardice and guilt
Undid everything we’d built
For centuries ‑ what a waste
To slay so many for such poor taste!
Now this Shri Shri wants to buy a home
Give me shelter for his Shanti Om
O Lord can I have some fun
Laugh and sing with no more delay
Manifest what I want today
Sing my songs with musicians and play
Build an art school where I can take birth
To learn to play my songs in mirth
Before Gaia leaves this Earth?
Put a finger side your nose
Blow it out through your toes
Deep breathing in and out
From the nose, not the mouth
Hangin’ out with th’ Enlightened Ones
Much more fun than political slogans.
Shake and quake; jump up and down
While humming loudly like a clown
Break mind’s barriers ‑ shake your bun
The Enlightened Ones are so much fun!
Shake your booty and give a hooty
Jump and shout; then work it out;
Meditate to calm mind’s clamor
Care less about appeal or glamour
Or the religious fanatics harangue
Start shaking like lemon meringue.
Then reclaim your precious body
Honor your unique expression of beauty
Your dance of freedom and joy
Learn how to appreciate your SELF
From this gorgeous Enlightened boy.
