Baba Brinkman - Hypothesis 2 (Spiritualism) lyrics
[Baba Brinkman - Hypothesis 2 Spiritualism lyrics]
Evolution is a beautiful, unifying vision
But when science gets too ambitious
It shades into "scientism"
If you take the time to
Listen to enlightened mystics
Like the Dalai Llama, you’ll see
There’s other kinds of wisdom
What can Darwin teach me
About the transcendental experiences
I’ve found through meditation
Or the boundless mysteriousness
Of existence? What? That I’m just delirious
And it’s just an illusion that
Corresponds to certain neurological areas?
C’mon, let’s be serious it’s not
All in the cerebellum!
Human nature has a physical level
And a spirit level
And the transcendent is imminent in the
Material – it’s very subtle
But it’s a theory for which
Science has no clear rebuttal
Consciousness came before matter
Not vice versa, and it’s
Only through love and compassion that
The spirit side emerges
And rappers are channeling that spirit
When they recite their verses
But all the sex and violence, well
That’s biological urges
But when science gets too ambitious
It shades into "scientism"
If you take the time to
Listen to enlightened mystics
Like the Dalai Llama, you’ll see
There’s other kinds of wisdom
What can Darwin teach me
About the transcendental experiences
I’ve found through meditation
Or the boundless mysteriousness
Of existence? What? That I’m just delirious
And it’s just an illusion that
Corresponds to certain neurological areas?
C’mon, let’s be serious it’s not
All in the cerebellum!
Human nature has a physical level
And a spirit level
And the transcendent is imminent in the
Material – it’s very subtle
But it’s a theory for which
Science has no clear rebuttal
Consciousness came before matter
Not vice versa, and it’s
Only through love and compassion that
The spirit side emerges
And rappers are channeling that spirit
When they recite their verses
But all the sex and violence, well
That’s biological urges
