And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

I'm in Paris today on a business trip, hanging out with my oldest friend David. David has been a fan of the Beatles forever, and, together, we watched Anthology, the 10-hour-long video documentary on the Beatles. We couldn't stop! This documentary is a breathtaking dive into the soul of the 60's, rock 'n' roll, psychedelics, hippies, etc. I realize for the first time how "spiritual" their whole endeavor was, especially after Bob Dylan had them try marijuana for the first time in August 1964. A few excerpts:

"It's getting better all the time"

............

"There, there's a place
where I can go
when I feel low
when I feel blue
And it's my mind
and there's no time
When I'm alone"

............

"We were talking
about the space between us all
and people who hide themselves
behind a wall of illusion,
never glimpse the truth
then it's far too late
when they pass away"

............

"Turn off your mind, relax
and float down stream (...)
Lay down all thought
Surrender to the void (...)
That you may see
The meaning of within (...)
That love is all
And love is everyone"

............

"All you need is love"

Etc, each and every song is literally soaked in Spirit! Their last words:

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make".

More on the Beatles and spirituality, and George Harrison and spirituality. But better still: listen to their songs...
