A Perfect Circle’s Thirteenth Step details journey to peace
Ilchi Lee believes that brain wave vibration is a key to purifying the mind so that it is easier to access positive energy which will make it easier to grow spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Simply vibrating one's body and focusing on each thought can be an amazing way to tap this well of inner strength.
The alternative rock band A Perfect Circle's concept album, Thirteenth Step, describes a similar journey from the very beginning to the end. The first song, The Package, captures the journey of a man who is addicted to drugs and at rock bottom, having completely forsaken his connection to humanity.
"Eye on what I'm after / I don't need another friend / smile and drop the cliche… If you need me to pretend," singer Maynard James Keenan says in a menacing and desperate tone.
Throughout the album, the man slowly recovers – first by going to a hospital for treatment and then graduating to a clinic. The last song on the album, Gravity, speaks of the difficulty and uncertainty of transcendence, but also the importance of striving for that goal.
"I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown / Catch me, heal me / Lift me back up to the sun," Keenan slowly chants during the chorus.
