How lmpossible is the impossible,
Yet the impossible is a thought
And every thought is real
#SunRa
I am in the role of Ra because the creator has left it up to me to give some order and harmony to this planet
#SunRa
Whatever I am, I have the humanity of the world at heart.

Tks to Jay Korber for procuring this rare tv broadcast. It was heavily edited for tv, the unedited audio was released by Joachim-Ernst Berendt as part of a double CD "Black Myth/Out In Space" on his MPS label. This show appears on CD2/track1 as a 37m45s track: "Out In Space"
What I thought I am
I am not
What was and is
Is not
What dreams were mine
I am not
What was and is
Is not
The laughter, the tears
The fleeting years
Like pages read and turned
Are not
Gone like a sigh
Or a bird swift
In sudden flight.

Astro infinity music is beyond freedom. It is precision, discipline. It is not just freedom. It is coordination and sound interdependence. It is the design of another world. It has nothing to do with the traditions of yesterday, today or the future.
#SunRa
Imagination is a magic carpet
Upon which we may soar
To distant lands and climes;
And even go beyond the moon to any planet in the sky. If we are here, why can't we be there?
#SunRa
I am not a fantasy in a real sense
I am a fantasy of differential projection
Yet I exist..
There are no shadows where I am
Because I am the fire of the lightning
And the flames of the sun.
#SunRa
My name is the sun
I am the stranger from the sky
Far away farther than the eye can see Is my paradise
A mythical world
In Outer Space.
#SunRa
The foundation of all freedom is discipline. The universe itself demonstrates a discipline and nature demonstrates discipline everywhere you look. Nature variates things and it has this precision and discipline in doing this.
#SunRa
Imagination is a living moving thought
Which seeks to be and do,
Forever pioneering like an eternal vehicle of joy. I cordially entice you, I diligently tempt you: Step upon my magic carpet of sound,
And share my adventures
On the land of pleasure hi fi..
#SunRa
This music is blueprint/declaration of different kinds of potentials.
#SunRa
The cosmic roles
Are written on sundry parchments Tinted with fire-blue vibrations of flame Force-field energies.
Abstract planes of sight and sound.

When musicians are compelled to play anything, it goes straight to the throne of the creator of the universe, and that is how he sees you.
#SunRa
With music you can express any emotion, you can paint pictures..
#SunRa
I think of myself as a complete mystery
To myself.
#SunRa
The curse on this planet is due to the music that musicians are playing, that they’re forced to play, by some who just think of money and don’t realize that music is a spiritual language, and it represents the people of Earth.
#SunRa
My world of dreams is different to your worlds of dreams
Strange worlds whirl in my mind
With a glow like sunset and the thrill of dawn.
#SunRa
