Review about God God | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/19/09 To me this song is don't saying give to much power in each of these thing in your individual life. It boils down to your essence and being true to that. It is not saying that God or anything doesn't exist, it just says that you must believe in yourself because your thoughts and actions are all you can control. God Is an Unnecessary Concept | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/28/08 John Lennon continues to express his poetic vision and timeless message. His spiritual depth can be seen in the lyrics to several of the songs he wrote. Belief of any kind is a distraction. Either one knows based on personal, existential experience (spiritually enlightened), or one does not know (agnostic). Believers seek cheap, consolations to cover their lack of knowing and to feel good. God is a mental construct, an intellectual concept. Thus, the God concept has utility value, but it does not have truth value. Some inner paths use the god concept as a device (devotion type based on surrender), and other inner paths do not use the god concept (discipline type based on meditation). Both types of spiritual path lead to the same destination: spiritual enlightenment, or inner awareness. John realizes that God is a distraction at best, and sometimes is a stumbling block rather than a stepping stone device. His eternal message is that each of us is spiritually enlightened, just we have forgotten it. To help remember, we can go within by using techniques of meditation to directly, immediately experience the highest state of consciousness, which is the meditative state of consciousness, and it is not accessible by artificial means such as drugs. Another message | Reviewer: Tak | 1/22/08 I think another important point is that Ringo Starr is in charge of drums. "Dream is over" "You just have to carry on" ... these are messages to him. They touch my heart. And Ringo's play is great, of course. Believe in yourself | Reviewer: S | 12/15/07 Lennon was just trying to say it's time to stop trying to find something else to believe in. Celebrities, Jesus, books, leaders, religion and more just keep us from finding ourselves. They are distractions from the truth. From what is really real. They are not real. The only thing that is true, real and worth believing in is yourself. Stop trying to find what your looking for in others. It will only leave you empty. Once you find that you are enough that empty feeling will go away. "God" - the ultimate rejection | Reviewer: Chris Cowsill | 6/29/07 This song is one of the pivotal songs in the Lennon catalog; in it, he refutes EVERTHING that he apparently stood for, in the infamous "denouncing verses." "I don't believe in Beatles. I just believe in me. Yoko and me." Powerful and informative, telling a generation that the '60's "dreamweaver" has moved on, Review the song God The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
