You mean, you're not even agnostic???😢 I can't wrap my brain around the thought of a finite end to everything upon our deaths... I definitely believe in something after this because I've had "experiences". I'm not crazy, by any means. The experiences I've had absolutely do defy logic and are inexplicable. But they occurred nonetheless. I hope the energy and frequencies can speak to your cells in abundance, showing you another way. Imagine a source that's greater and larger than anything we can conceive while simultaneously being the smallest quantifiable essence; the grid to our reality.

@@jenniferlloyd9574 Why be agnostic when one can be an atheist? If there’s no proof of a god or God, and cannot be real proof, how could I be agnostic? To me, any “experiences” of an afterlife are the function of a dying brain. I hope I’m wrong about that, but as far as I know - and no one who’s actually died came back - this life is it. We can’t conceive of not being here. But when I’ve had a medical procedure (a colonoscopy, for instance), that period of time in which I was under anesthesia was completely blank. Only the going under and then the recovery period existed. Then again, we’re not dead when we’re under anesthesia, so maybe death is very different and we have some awareness after we die.

~LYRICS~ I don't know how to love him What to do, how to move him I've been changed, yes really changed In these past few days When I've seen myself I seem like someone else I don't know how to take this I don't see why he moves me He's a man, he's just a man And I've had so many men before In very many ways He's just one more Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout? Should I speak of love? Let my feelings out? I never thought I'd come to this What's it all about? Don't you think it's rather funny? I should be in this position I'm the one who's always been So calm, so cool No lover's fool Running every show He scares me so I never thought I'd come to this What's it all about? Yet, if he said he loved me I'd be lost, I'd be frightened I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope I'd turn my head, I'd back away I wouldn't want to know He scares me so I want him so I love him so

Yvonne was 19 years old when she was in the original cast of "Jesus Christ Superstar". Her portrayal of Mary Magdalene is one of the highlights of the show and this song is the reason why. Her one young voice conveys so many emotions at once, that it simply raises it above most of the other moments in the musical.
