Its Your Turn

Turn, turn, turn
Watch the hum drum of events
Shocks to wake up the you
Pain has gotten in the way
personality has left you astray
turn turn turn
face the fact all that rests in you
Watch the path that lay ahead
Shock the system with evidence
of an evolution to unfold
wake to the dying personality
weaker it gets
as the driver of your soul is your soul
The many I's take a back seat
to the unfinished business you watch here on earth
Evolve to the school of wisdom
Shock the other I's with the real you
Learn from the escape of trapped doors
There is nothing trapped but you
Step outside
turn the key
choose it for yourself
This dear child
is school
And here is where you can learn.

Synopsis:
Inspired by the Gurdjieff work.  Every shock (accidental or not) is an opportunity to wake up the system.  What gets in our way will show up.  This is the school of life... all our personality issues are the books... we can read them, experience them, or we can hide them away.
