what about missing their new sexy video long tall Sally long tall Sally 1964 just described the young George Harrison young naive and enthusiastic but I didn't really question anything else I was just into being in a rock and roll band and going wherever we were going nicely and Beatle in those days completely every moment of every day was beetle beetle beetle such a group so just as a group as you know our career everything it was just all the attention the media it was all Beatles until the Beatles just drove us crazy so when did George Harrison sort of break through Adams identity um 1966 well I mean he was always in the George Harrison whoever the real one is was always there really but 1966 was when I sort of woke up out of my dream what made you wake up well a number of things the experiences that we were having and one experience which I don't really like to talk about it too much but somebody put something in my coffee so change your servant has changed me a lot yet then I went off to India into the Himalayas people look at our bodies we look at each other and we say that's Muhammad Ali and this is George Benson and whatever but really inside all these bodies is a potentially divine soul this is what the spiritual thing is trying to say and that we are not the body we are in bodies and the body is the thing that changes but inside is the spirit in the spirit remains the same from one life to another and it never changes there's never a time when it didn't exist and there will never be a time it ceases to exist the only thing that changes is the bodily condition from 1964 to 1988 you know it's still the same that's in that to me you were sort of the mystical one with the Sun spectacles and the guitar and little Cheyenne and Hoth darkness where are you a mystical person in the group hey so they say yes well in a way you see I don't think that word mysticism it's something when people don't know about a thing they like to call it we don't put a label on it but I think anything that's mystical means you don't know about it but when you do know about it it isn't mystical anymore do you have any inner pictures of past incarnations it's a no interest to me I assume that I'm getting better each time I can't remember what I had for my breakfast this morning let alone remember what I did 20 years ago really so to remember who you were in the previous life it's got to be worse going back and back we must have been worse and worse thanks I think so and that would just be so horrible you wouldn't be able to live now we have to take them now living here now in order to make tomorrow or tonight better what's the biggest challenges for tomorrow as you see I don't know humanity begins for me with it sounds selfish but with the self I am no good to you unless I'm got myself together you know so the first thing society has to do is get each individual has to make himself good then collectively the society is good but if you have a leader who hasn't got himself together then he can't do anything then you see though Richard Nixon's one the Reagan's you know all these kind of people are empty they're just like a shell with darkness and emptiness inside and they're out there leading countries and I think what we have to do is take care of ourselves and then everything comes out of that then I can help you you can help somebody else and we can all help each other arrest us please children in the morning light come when the bus is gonna come day
