Bob Marley - War Video (5min 36sec): "War" Bob Marley & The Wailers. "What life has taught me, I would like to share with, Those who want to learn...,

"Until the philosophy which holds one race, Superior and another inferior, Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, Everywhere is war, me say war. That until there are no longer first class,

And second class citizens of any nation, Until the colour of a man's skin, Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes, Me say war. That until the basic human rights are equally, Guaranteed to all, without regard to race, Dis a war..."

J. R. Ransom

Journey To Self A story video (8min 21sec) by Carla Sweet set to the music of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Man must listen to his true self to become the person he was born to be.

D. H. Lawrence (1923): "Sometimes snakes can't slough. They can't burst their old skin. Then they go sick and die inside the old

skin and nobody gets to see the ne

w pattern. It takes a real desperate recklessness to burst your old skin at last. You simply don't care what happens to you, if you rip yourself in two, so long as you do get out. It also needs a real belief in the new skin. Otherwise you are likely never to make the effort. Then you gradually sicken and go rotten and die in the old skin."

Carl J. Jung (1928): "...the self is our life's goal. For it is the completest expression of that fateful combination we call individuality."

Kate Bush - 'Army Dreamers' Video This is an almost surreal video (3min 16sec) for the amazing Kate Bush's - 'Army Dreamers'. "Our little army boy, Is coming home from b.f.p.o., I've a bunch of purple flowers, To decorate a mammys hero. Mourning in the aerodrome, The weather warmer, he is colder, Four men in uniform, To carry home my little soldier. "What could he do?, Should have been a rock star., But he didnt have the money for a guitar., What could he do?, Should have been a politician., But he never had a proper education., What could he do?, Should have been a father., But he never even made it to his twenties., What a waste -- Army dreamers. Ooh, what a waste of Army dreamers..."
