An Editorial Note

We translate below from Portuguese the text

of the song “Como Diria Blavatsky” (“As

Blavatsky Would Say”), by Brazilian composer

and singer Jorge Vercillo. It is the main song in

Vercillo’s 2011 CD “Como Diria Blavatsky”.

The musician declared in interviews that

he studies Helena P. Blavatsky’s theosophy.

His song exemplifies the fact that music and

poetry are vehicles for the promulgation of universal

wisdom. “As Blavatsky Would Say” examines the

reincarnation process of a soul whose goal is to fulfill an

altruistic mission. Upon being born, one loses the vision

of the lofty task. It is much later, when he sees the source

of his spiritual inspiration, that he recovers eternal wisdom

and remembers “a time when we knew we are immortal

beings”. The song concludes with optimism, reminding

us that we have reasons to be confident: “And we may

also say, we have time enough for it all.”

(Carlos Cardoso Aveline)

I can’t look at myself

Except in the mirror.

It may be because I don’t want to see

Where I come from, or who I am.

Yet - upon seeing you,

I remember a time

A time when humans

Did not enslave animals;

A time when we knew

We are immortal beings.

In the other side of the galaxy

You were my preceptor.

By playing, I prepared myself

For the gold and the suffering of this mission,

Which I chose myself.

And before I “came down” you told me:

“…You won’t know why you are there,

You will not know how to deal

With your power,

You will not know who you are,

Nor where you come from…”

But now, because of something in your eyes,

I have found myself.

You make me remember that we are Gods

Fallen into the third dimension.

It was our choice, then.

And we may also say,

We have time enough for it all -

For it all, for it all.
