Quote

I've heard that while the show was on there were no reported crimes, or very few. When The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, even the criminals had a rest for ten minutes.

Hippies are so phoney and fake.
George Harrison
Image
People are all ignorant, they fear new things, they fear knowledge somehow, I don't know why. Everything that I ever learned was always so great. I never thought so at the time, it was just that little bit more in your mind an expansion of consciousness or awareness.
George Harrison
Image
The purpose of life is to find out 'Who am I?', 'Why am I here?' and 'Where am I going?'
George Harrison
Image
A mind that wants to wander around a corner is an un-wise mind. Now, is, be here now.
George Harrison

We're as much influenced by everybody else as they are by us, if they are. It's just all a part of the big thing.

When you're open to something it's like being a beacon, and you attract it. From the first time I heard the chanting Hare Krishna, it was like a door opened somewhere in my subconscious, maybe from some previous life.
George Harrison
Image
That's the real beauty of chanting - you directly connect with God. I have no doubt that by saying Krishna over and over again, He can come and dance on the tongue. The main thing, though, is to keep in touch with God.

I don't know how you were diverted You were perverted too. I don't know how you were inverted No one alerted you.

Although Christ in my mind is an absolute yogi, I think many Christian teachers today are misrepresenting Christ. They're supposed to be representing Jesus, but they're not doing it very well. They're letting him down very badly, and that's a big turn off.
George Harrison
Image
We don't, as a collective life on this planet, all get groovy together or all sink into ignorance together. One by one we liberate our souls, our individual souls, from the cycle by our own realizations.
George Harrison
Image
It's in the films and songs and all your magazines. It's everywhere that you may go, the devil's radio.
George Harrison
Image
Why live in the darkness all your life? Why, if you are unhappy, if you are having a miserable time, why not just look at it? Why are you in the darkness? Look for the light. The light is within.
George Harrison

Food is less important to me because I've learned to control my appetite to a great extent, simply by having my mind elsewhere. I find when I'm busy meditating on other aspects of my life I go without eating and I don't miss it.
George Harrison

So it's the unwinding of your nervous system. The corresponding experience to what winds you up comes out in your dreams. To write a song then, even one like Don't Bother Me, helps to get rid of some subconscious burden. Writing a song is like going to confession.

I don't feel the need for unusual or glamorous foods like caviar, and I tend more towards ordinary, satisfying food.

It's wonderful to look back and think you were part of a force that shaped modern music and influenced the public in so many ways. However, that's all in the past.

The world used us as an excuse to go mad.

Music is sound, vibrations, whereas paintings are vibrations of whatever you pick up. It's not actually an energy vibration you get from a groovy painting, but music and sound seem to travel along vibrations, you know the whole thing with mantras is to repeat and repeat those sounds... it's vibrations in everything like prayers and hymns.

The police are people as well. All those nasty people aren't really nasty if they'd realise it.
