If you enjoyed the lecture by Pierre Grimes I posted two days ago and the links to Ibn Arabi and Rumi.
Then if you get “it” you will appreciate these chosen songs by Van Morrison who in his lyrics takes us to that place.
I have always loved Van Morrison’s songs as having a great Gnostic essence.
Van Morrison in his music and lyrics is to me a latter day William Blake. Van has always been into the mystic.
Here are a few of my favourite Van Morrison tracks that touch upon the themes in my posts.
“Call me the common one
I said, “Oh, common one, my illuminated one
Oh, my high in the art of sufferin’ one“
Take a walk with me
Take a walk with me down by Avalon
Oh, my common one with the coat so old
And the light in her head
And the sufferin’ so fine
Take a walk with me down by Avalon
And I will show you
It ain’t why, why, why
It just is“
