Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow

Song by: George Clinton, Eddie Hazel, Ray Davis

Commentary by: Baba-Kundi Ma`at-Shambhala

Some of the words in the lyrics of this song by George Clinton may make a few of you feel a little uncomfortable. Nonetheless, try to understand that the writers of this song used the words and music that would get through to those who were listening to it at the time it was written. Some thought that George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic were just another wild drugged-out group of musicians, but that was not the case. They were just like everyone else on multiple levels; they were seeking and sharing that which was truth to them on this journey we call life, and they were extremely educated. When one seeks, one eventually finds that which he or she is seeking. Please bear with the words that make you uncomfortable and see into the deeper meaning of the message portrayed by the words, open up and hear the deeper message that is embedded within all of the words of this song. The deeper message to me in this song is the reason why I decided to write my personal commentary on it. Free Your Mind and Your Entire Being Has No Choice But To Follow!

An additional note about George Clinton; one day back in the 70’s when George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic had a concert in Washington, DC I got the chance to visit with them, and I actually got to sit down to talk with George (he was a very low key quiet man) and play a game of chess with him. I was pretty good at chess back then; nonetheless, as the old saying goes he beat the socks off me.

Free your mind and your ass will follow,

The kingdom of heaven is within


Set your mind free from all of the human manufactured fear, control, deception, illusion, perversion, manipulation, mis-direction, mis-education, dependence, doubt, want, covetousness, jealousy, greed, anger, hatred, and back stabbing. We must also set ourselves free from all of the other distorted lifeless negative controlling energies that have been implanted within or psyche, by those who do not want us to see, know, experience, and live the innate qualities that have always been within our Spirit/Soul. Once we have accomplished the daunting task of freeing our minds Spiritually, we can be assured that our physical, mental, and intellectual beings will follow. That is when the experience we call life will change, and once again we will become the true authors of our reality. Then we will also start to Love unconditionally as we should, and become the Givers of Peace, Light and Love, and not the deceivers and robbers of the Sacred Energy of Life. When we free our minds spiritually, our minds and bodies will start to follow a new Sacred Path of Divine Existence. Actually, we will start to follow our original spiritual train of thought, the train of thought that is founded within the Universal Mind of Mother/Father Goddess/God.

The Kingdom of Heaven Is Within. The Kingdom of Heaven within us is the Sacred Place deep within our Spirits, where Goddess/God dwells and communes with us through the Small Still Voice. No matter what we have been taught, think, or believe, not one of us has ever been separated in any way from our Sacred Parent, Mother/Father Goddess/God. The lie that we are separate from Goddess/God, is the number one deception that has been used to rob us of our power, and to keep us under the selfish, greedy control of a few malfunctioning intellectual and self-centered human misfits. Every true religion teaches that we are one with The Divine, and the Love, Light, Peace, Oneness and Blessings of Spirit can always be found within the Sacred Dwelling place within our Spirits. There is no need to look to or look for heaven outside of ourselves, and there is no need to fear hell, because each of us creates our very own heaven and hell within the realm of our minds, through that which we expose ourselves to and believe. Heaven is created within a free and open mind that is yielded to the Sacred Energy of Unconditional Love. Hell is created within the valley of our troubled minds, and we are held captive there by fear, lies, and illusions created by wicked thoughts and ideas; sometimes hell is created for us by outsiders that we open up to, and eagerly digest every word that flows out of their mouths. The deception has created a fog that is so thick that sometimes music is the only thing that can be used to get through to us, and transmit some very important and needed messages to our non-judgmental subconscious mind. It has to be done that way sometimes because our conscious mind has been taken hostage by the illusion, deception, and lies of mankind. That is why the freeing of our minds is of the utmost importance. Welcome to the realm of Total Spiritual Re-Call. To experience Total Spiritual Re-Call, is to experience the action of correctly and fully recalling who we are eternally, and the full recognition of our Divine Connection and Oneness with Goddess/God.

Open up your funky mind and you can fly,

Free your mind and your ass will follow,

The kingdom of heaven is within

Our minds have become funky. In other words, our minds have been overloaded and overwhelmed with worldly sludge; the filth of ego, the disgusting stench of human intellectualism, governmental self-serving attempts of mass mind control, malignant racism, and the disgraceful religious manipulation of sacred belief systems and universal truths. All of that has consciously distorted our ability to be the Infinite Possibility Thinkers and Spiritual Visionaries that we are and have always been. It has likewise blocked just about all of our creative abilities, so we can no longer flow and fly freely within the limitless realms of our minds, and our parallel existences to other Spiritual Dimensions. The Kingdom of Heaven Is Within Our Individual Spirits. However, to enjoy that awesome reality we must remove all of the tangled patches of illusionary weeds, and every patch of over grown man-made deception and illusion that has and is blocking our true vision, stopping us from consciously entering into the Kingdom of Heaven within. The Kingdom of Heaven is, and always will be Our Sacred Eternal Dwelling Place.

Freedom is free of the need to be free

How will we know that we are free? We will know that we are free when we cease seeking freedom because we know deep within our Spirits that we are one with Divinity. Freedom is to be free of the need to be free. If you were falsely accused of a crime and were locked in a prison for ten years seeking justice the entire time. Then one day the truth came out, you would be led to the main gate and it would be opened before you, and you would be set free. In such a situation, would you have the need to be free from prison any more? Of course you would not have the need to be free from prison, because you would be already fully embodying your freedom. That is what has been happening to humanity for thousands of years, and it is still happening to humanity at this very moment. All of the false charges against us have been revealed and dropped, if we choose to see correctly, we will see that we are free of the need to be free. Once we wake from our hellish nightmare, we will finally see that we are in a glorious state of Spiritual Remembrance and Awareness; and we will once again see clearly that we are and have always been free, and that freedom originates within the place of our eternal being, our Spirits. What joy fills our heart!

Not like you,

You are as free as you want to be (your ass will follow),

Well, I discovered that this life that was gettin' to me,

Is not really mine (Free your mind and your ass will follow)
If it were mine, I would have fun all of the time, I'm very disgruntled now,


Now, I want a way out now,

I have to find a way,

I have to find some way out,

Free your mind and your ass will follow

Not like you. Our physical bodies are followers, unlike our true beings, which are our Sacred Spiritual Selves. Our Sacred Spiritual Selves are leaders, because they are created from the purest most pristine energy of all, the energy of Love. We made a major mis-take somewhere along one of our lifetimes of believing that we are followers, and also that we are powerless sinners that need outside direction and help to survive this experience called life. That is the biggest error one can make; that which we seek is and always has been within our Spirit. We are as free as we want to be. The life most people have been living definitely is not the life we were meant to live; it is something that was made up in someone’s distorted mind eons ago. Some of us have become so used to that counterfeit way of life, which subconsciously we have chosen to keep it, even when presented with the truth. That is because we think we know everything life has to offer. We erroneously believe that we do not have control over our lives and everything in our surrounding world. Even with the possibility of freedom, some turn their backs to that freedom, just as some slaves did when freedom was given to them. The truth is, they were afraid of freedom because they could not remember what it was like to be free.

Many of us have started to become disgruntled, and entered into a state of restful dis-satisfaction and irritation. Because of that, many are ready to do whatever it takes to experience freedom, even if that means having faith in ourselves. Therefore, in the process we are freeing our minds of all of the confusion and doubt that the self-appointed leaders of the world have created, and continue to create in the name of God. Our way out can only be found within our Spirits, the Sacred Dwelling place of Goddess/God.

Give it up, give it up (free your mind and your ass will follow)


Give it up and give it to me baby,


I'm calling you love,


Love from my heart

We must give up; we must release our hold on the deceitful illusionary past, and free our minds from its treacherous death grip on us. We must offer everything in our lives to Spirit. Love from the heart can be none other than the Divine Perfect Unconditional Love of Goddess/God, without a doubt it is Divine Unconditional Love. Unconditional Love comes to us straight from the very Heart of Mother/Father Goddess/God.

The kingdom of heaven is within (are you satisfied?)


The kingdom of heaven is within
(I wanna know!

Free your mind and your ass will follow)

The kingdom of heaven is within (I Really care)

The kingdom of heaven is within

The statement, the Kingdom of Heaven Is Within, is something that can never be repeated to many times. We need to hear that over and over again. We must free our minds and consciously enter into the Kingdom of Heaven Within our own Spirits. Then we will be prepared and able to expand and sail freely through the Kingdoms of Heaven throughout the entire Universe.

Free Your Mind and Your Spirit and Body Will Follow!



The kingdom of heaven is within,

I'm so confused about it all,


I'm so confused about the whole thing,


I don't understand,


I don't understand nothin',

I don't know what I feel,

I can't feel me, I can't live me, I can't be me

The confusion set in because we have been following the deception, the counterfeits, and the Anti-Christ that was designed to confuse us. The Christ is our Divine Spiritual Consciousness, not the man we know as Jesus. Christ Consciousness, our Divine Spiritual Consciousness is a major part of our birthright. Jesus and a host of other Spiritual Masters experienced Christ Consciousness, and so will you and I. We have been following the deceptive guidance of man for so long, that some of us are fearful of an existence outside of man’s deceptive guidance. What we are starting to feel is foreign to us. It has been a long, long time since we have felt this level of Spiritual Reality. Have you ever been asked to do something and have fear rise up so strong within you to the point of feeling as if you were paralyzed? Then when you finally did what you were asked to do, you realized how easy it actually was.

Free Your Mind and Your Spirit and Body Will Follow!

My mind, it does not belong to me,


I'm so confused,


I can't hear myself, I can't hear myself calling for help,

I can't free my mind

So my ass can't follow

We have been in such a state of fear and confusion that we do not even know our own thoughts, from those of others that have been introduced into our psyche. That is possible because we have neglected to feed our Spirits as we should. Many times we do not differentiate between our voice, and the voices of others that are subliminally implanted in our consciousness. More importantly than that, we cannot even hear or recognize the Still Small Voice of Spirit within, which is constantly speaking to us on a daily basis. We must not be fooled in our conscious state, the way that we are in our dream state, and be led to believe that we cannot open our mouths and call out for help when help is needed. Also, we must not be fooled in believing that if we do call out for help, we are still doomed. The spoken word is very powerful, however we do not always have to verbally call out for help to receive it. Just as it is when we speak to Spirit verbally in prayer, we can call out for help from Spirit non-verbally within our minds. Nothing and no one other than ourselves can stop us from getting the help we so desperately need.

Someone help me
I got to get help,

Here's my arm,

Help me escape,

I don't want to,

I can't free my mind
No, no, no,

They won't free me,

I can't run
I can't get out
I can't free my mind
I'm so mixed up,

So mixed up,

What time is it?

We need not look for any help outside of ourselves; unless that is what Universal Source Goddess/God is telling us we need to do. In the Kingdom of Heaven within us is to be found all of the resources and help we need. We must reach within to Spirit, reach within to the Kingdom of Heaven, and Spirit will reach back to us, embrace us, and guide us into our Promised Land. Men have deceived us, and led us to believe that we are powerless and weak, and can be held captive. All of those are absolute lies. If we are looking to be freed by someone or something outside of ourselves, we will remain captive to deception, illusion, and our very own ignorance. We can and must free our minds from the deception and illusion in the world.

Resurrection free of charge

Our resurrection begins when we open up fully to the reality that we are one with Mother/Father Goddess/God, and when we enter into the understanding that we are Perfect Spiritual Beings. When I speak of perfection, I am speaking of our Spirits, our True Selves, and our Higher Spiritual Selves. Our perfect state of being is the reality that the men who want to rule the world, are trying to continually wipe out and keep away from us, so that we will remain in bondage forever. They know; they cannot control the masses if we know the truth. We are spiritually resurrected into a new life every single day that we wake from our nights sleep. We are overdue for the Awakening and Resurrection of our Spirit.

We Can Free Our Minds.

We Must Free Our Minds.

We Are Freeing Our Minds.

I Have Gloriously Freed My Mind.

The Kingdom of Heaven Is and Always Has Been Within Me.

I Have Freed My Mind, Which Is My True Higher Spiritual Self,
