Modified Believer
Had a great interview Thursday with WEBN in Cincinnati. They asked if there was going to be a Beatles & Friends concert in The Afterlife marking the anniversary of John's death. Gerald said there most certainly would be. After the interview Gerald remembered that John wanted him to mention that during the request segment of a Beatles & Friends concert he was always asked to do his version of Neil Diamond's "I'm A Believer". This is one of the most modified songs in The Afterlife. Everybody changes it to fit Their own particular feelings. But Everybody loves John's version. Again John takes no credit for this song. He says it's Neil Diamond's. He only changes it the way Neil would to fit the circumstances. But Everybody loves John's version, and John hopes Neil takes no offense that he has changed it a little bit to fit his needs. If anybody knows Neil Diamond send him John's version! Ask him what he thinks. John would love to know how he likes it. And he is very grateful that he has such a wonderful piece of music to work with. As John often says, he wishes so much he'd written this one himself!
I'm a Believer
By Neil Diamond
Modified By John Lennon In The Afterlife
I thought that faith was only true in fairy tales
Meant for other men but not for me.
Fate was out to get me
Or so it seemed.
Disappointment haunted every dream.
Then I heard His words, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
Now I know, oh, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave Him if I tried.
I thought that faith was more or less a giving thing,
It seemed the more I prayed the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you got was pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Then I heard His words, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
Now I know, oh, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave Him if I tried.
Now I'm a believer!
The second aliens visiting in The Afterlife came by last night and we had a long chat. We found out some very interesting things about them! Though they are bisexual they travel through life in bonded pairs, reincarnating together many times. The two that are joined in a single body are rarely intimate on any level. But each soul, male or female, is intimate with their opposite soul in the bonded pair. When one soul is sexually active in the body the other is dormant, inactive. A very unusual relationship!
Incredibly they have no entertainment media as we would understand it, no radio or television, no movie theaters or ipods. They have physical plays. When someone goes to it they record it in their memory and then they can transfer that memory to another and a payment is sent to the producer of the play, the same thing with a song. The person receiving the memory can later sit down and see the performance as if it was there themselves. An incredible mental ability that we have not heard of in any other race!
We found out they had a religious teacher somewhat like Moses, but they didn't have an Exodus or anything like that. The Way, as it is called, simply spread around their world. They have The Ten Commandments, but believe in a One God that is like themselves, both male and female, The Mother and The Father, which in a bisexual race is understandable. We were joking around and saying that they had alligators and chickens that look just like earth's alligators and chickens, and they were thinking of dropping a couple of them off and seeing if they would reproduce. We said this wasn't a very good idea. But it is strange that a bisexual race has so many creatures on their world that are single sexed! It seemed they evolved from an oddity, a mistake of nature that became dominant because it reproduced so well. But they are wonderful people and are going to a great effort to help this other race. It has taken them over a year's travel to reach earth even at the phenomenal speeds that they travel! To go to all this trouble for others shows how well they have learned what their Teachers gave them. If only mankind could benefit from their example!
