Earthling Society : PLastic Jesus and the third eye blind (UK,2006)***
It seems like for this second release Earthling Society have left the earth with some grief making them an outsider, bringing them into orbit into space, while leaving some thoughts behind as messages, still spreading from a space ritual.
The title of their album, "Plastic Jesus and the third Eye Blind", in combination with the cover and lyrics, tell us more about these taking-a-distance from certain thoughts. On the front sleeve cover you can see expressed, how the dollar bill symbol, -which was developed by freemasonry to stimulate America's growth, thanks to a one-eyed centred pyramidal structure, now became a blood and honour type of use of ideals provoked by types like the New Born Christians who are looking for a New World Order to establish, with the blind eye of a ruling elite on top. Earthling Society doesn't provide the alternative, but just takes a distance with their space sounds and lyrics with thoughts like "Is the third eye blind?" and ideas like "organised religion is a fake", a message which appears in a world where you don't hear much of any kind of spirituality until it becomes a tool like a primitive sword, (because only when it tickles our fear in surviving, do we listen), with a kind of message which solve things with power just like politics, but even more without any dialogue or creativity, full of restriction to gain power. It couldn't have spoken up in a softer and creative way, because it already lost its ability to participate in a global life. Even when it would gain the beloved power of control, even then, in their form will never establish the spiritual fruits that uplift human conditions to something more liveable as before. Such Prophets of War have no humour and have not much idea of what it means to learn and experience from life itself. Earthling Society already doesn't believe in our survival, seeing the abuse of the earthly sources. It reminds me of the famous native Indian saying how man will understand only after he robbed the whole earth, that money can't be eaten. Maybe one day we will start again live like these native Indians/aboriginal way and give back to earth what we take, in an osmosis-like environment that will benefit all, but ..not yet.
The longest track of the suite is rather long and works a little bit like a soundtrack, but I think cannot concentrate more deeply on each detail. Sometimes the music of Earthling Society becomes an engine of a spaceship-like energy of a ritual that builds up energy for their message, they prefer to beam it into full universe rather than into human universal principles and practical tools, because they already have given up some hope. I agree that it is a lost game for that you cannot work against the phases of human tendencies, because they all have to work out their own level of experiences with good and bad results. But you could also realize how the circle of changes, with its phases of tendencies, can be changed in its core of fundaments, creating different kind of phases. It is so that nowadays all socially agreed rulers lead still in very similar ways, because that's what people see, and have open ears to. For Earthling Society, they found some ideas to use, on an energy level slightly fleeing from here.
On the 7th day, the Sunday, they seem to say that on that day, we better let all our energy loose, instead of letting each thought, action, the greed and hate, ..grow forever and out of proportion and without balanced insight. The 7th day could be used for the flow of energy, which is for the Earthling Society right into space. (This "Sunday" track needed some organ, of course). For them, there are no religious restrictions on this 7th day, but a relaxed mode so that each principle will transform its incomplete energy, in a very simple way, completely on its own.
