Understanding (also called intellection) is a psychological process related to an abstract or physical object, such as a person, situation, or message whereby one is able to think about it and use concepts to deal adequately with that object. Understanding is a relation between the knower and an object of understanding. Understanding implies abilities and dispositions with respect to an object of knowledge sufficient to support intelligent behavior.
An understanding is the limit of a conceptualization. To understand something is to have conceptualized it to a given measure.
It is difficult to define understanding. If we use the term concept as above, the question then arises as to what is a concept? Is it an abstract thing? Is it a brain pattern or a rule? Whatever definition is proposed, we can still ask how it is that we understand the thing that is featured in the definition: we can never satisfactorily define a concept, still less use it to explain understanding. It may be more convenient to use an operational or behavioural definition, that is, to say that "somebody who reacts appropriately to x understands x". For example, one understands Swahili if one correctly obeys commands given in that language. This approach, however, may not provide an adequate definition. A computer can easily be programmed to react appropriately to commands, but there is a disagreement as to whether or not the computer understands the language (see the Chinese room argument).
Terence Kemp McKenna (November 16, 1946 – April 3, 2000) was an American philosopher, psychonaut, researcher, teacher, lecturer and writer on many subjects, such as human consciousness, language, psychedelic drugs, the evolution of civilizations, the origin and end of the universe, alchemy, and extraterrestrial beings.
Terence McKenna grew up in Paonia, Colorado. He was introduced to geology through his uncle and developed a hobby of solitary fossil hunting in the arroyos near his home. From this he developed a deep artistic and scientific appreciation of nature.
At age 16, McKenna moved to Los Altos, California to live with family friends for a year. He finished high school in Lancaster, CA. In 1963, McKenna was introduced to the literary world of psychedelics through The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell by Aldous Huxley and certain issues of The Village Voice that talked about psychedelics.
McKenna claimed that one of his early psychedelic experiences with morning glory seeds showed him "that there was something there worth pursuing." In an audio interview Terence Mckenna claims to have started smoking cannabis regularly during the summer following his 17th birthday.
Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He came to prominence as an early participant in London's pub rock scene in the mid-1970s and later became associated with the punk/New Wave genre. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image".
Costello has won multiple awards in his career, including a Grammy Award, and has twice been nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male. In 2003, Elvis Costello & the Attractions were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Costello number 80 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Costello was born Declan Patrick MacManus in St Mary's Hospital, London, the son of Lilian Alda (née Ablett, b. 1927, Liverpool) and Ross MacManus (1927–2011), a musician and bandleader. He is of Irish heritage. Costello lived in Twickenham, attending Hounslow Secondary Modern School, which is now St Mark's Catholic Secondary School, in neighbouring Hounslow. With a musically inclined father (who was a jazz trumpeter and sang with The Joe Loss Orchestra), Costello's first broadcast recording was alongside his dad in a television commercial for R. White's Lemonade (I'm a Secret Lemonade Drinker). His father wrote and sang the song; Costello provided backing vocals. The advertisement won a silver award at the 1974 International Advertising Festival.
Understanding all the reasons that you have
For keeping just a step away
You'd better start believing that deceit
It's never gonna pay
Understanding that the light of everyday
Hold a different feeling
You'd better start believing
That there'll be no more grieving about it next time
round
This time, you seem so sure
You're talking like I've never heard before
This time
I want to believe in what you say
This time
I want you to know that if I stay
I'm understanding all the reasons that you have
For keeping just a step away
But believe me when I tell you that from now
There has to be another way
Understanding that the light of everyday
Hold a different feeling
You'd better start believing that there'll be no
More grieving about it next time round
This time, so sure
You're talking like you never did before
This time
I want to believe in what you say
This time
I want you to know that if I stay
Do you listen when I tell you that I'm tired
Of keeping one more step away
Now the game that we've been playing has
Been changed and it's by my rules that we play
Not the child that followed blindly in the dark
Watching and believing
I'm much stronger now and I won't be torn apart
Or fooled by shallow pleading
This time
You might say that we all need secrets
But I say that you're running away
You could say that I won't wait forever
But I'm giving you one more day
This Time
Talking like you ever did before
This time
I want to believe in what you say
This time
I want you to know that if I stay
You always seem to me, to be so understanding,
Now you go away and leave me empty-handed,
Your fashions changed and now you know,
I'm way outside my only home,
Wanna go outside so I can keep my clothes on,
I've seen it all a million times, I wanna keep my clothes on,
If I can change your mind now,
If I can make you climb down,
Then I'll feel such a fool,
You always seem to me to have the right perception,
I'm in a different place, I'm at the wrong reception,
Your fashion changed and now you fold,
You leave me standing in the hope,
Wanna go outside so I can keep my clothes on,
I've seen it all a million times, I wanna keep my clothes on,
If I can change your mind now,
And if I can make you climb down,
If can change your mind now,
Then I'll feel so secure,
If I can change your mind now,
And if I can make you climb down,
If can change your mind now,
“Understanding”
Why do we fight - both black and white
cause we don’t understand
If you give, you get but if you want respect
then please understand
Hatred begins and no one wins
tell me who pays the price
From our generation to the next
Have respect for human life
A man kills another man for things he doesn’t understand
How can someone take another life
If people just don’t give a damn
can’t respect a man for what he is a man
Then the world will destruct from racial strife
Repeat chorus
I do believe in self and self-respect is where it starts
you have to love yourself before you love
And if love must play a part - then it has to come from your heart
In order for the pain of hate to cease
We got - we got - we got to stop hatred
Hatred is something perpetrade by lies
We got - we got - we got to have justice
The system plays God by who lives or dies
We got - we got - we got to have equality
Do not judge a man by the color of his skin
We need - we need - we need understanding
To make this world a better place to live in
chorus out
Is anger always a positive reaction?
Is understanding often subdued by emotion?
what i need from you is understanding how can we communicate.
If you don't hear me what i say so simple as 1,2,3 understanding is
what i mean. You don't even know me you just wanna do what u
wanna do. That's not the way it should be no. You should listen to me,
boyi tried so very hard to make you understand. But the chooses
you make baby they're all demands oh. I tried so very hard to keep
our love alive. But you don't wanna meet me half the way. Then the
understanding dies. Theres no way that we can work it out if we don't
pull togather. I don't need to be demanding. I want some
understanding. I wanna be with you
(chours)
I listen to you baby. And i know the things you going throug. I try to
understand. That's why I'm still with you baby. See everyday we
living. Theres one thing that'll always be unsure. That's why i need you
baby, Pleading baby. Please let our love endure
by: Laquita i copy this from xscape just to do something cause
(music arcwelder, words s macdonald)
Gleaming steel reflects a coldness
Pasted smile faking flair
i'll never smile again? the song goes
Plate is empty nothing there
Why try when there's no understanding
Why try when there is nothing left
Why try when there's no understanding
Understand there's so much to be felt
Decisions past future decided
The one that counted forgot how to add
Multiplying means division
Slide the rules I'll be glad
Chorus
I'll get this last one in and then stop writing about it
I'll get this last one in and then stop thinking about it
I'll get this last one in and then stop
Chorus

Intro:
You hold the answer deep within your own mind.
Consciously you've forgotten it.
That's the way the human mind works.
Whenwver something is too unpleasant,
too shameful for us to entertain we reject it,
we erase it from our memory, but the imprint is always there.
We wash it all away,
we wish it all away,
we hope it all away,
can't cry it all away.
The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way to who we are
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence screaming at our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time
We're supposed to try to be real.
We feel alone when we're not together, and that is real.
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away
Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The light that flows inside of you burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this and I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot bear it all alone
You're not alone, honey, Never. Never.
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away can't can't can't
Can't throw it all away
Can't scratch it all away
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
Oh get it all away
Oh get it all away
But the imprint is always there, nothing is ever really forgotten
Because I'm dying too,
because I'm dying too,
because I'm dying too,
because I'm dying too,
because I'm dying too
It seems like only yesterday
I didn't have a clue
I stood alone not knowing where to turn
Now suddenly I look around
and everything looks new
I don't know why but I think
I'm starting to learn
They call it understanding (standing)
A willingness to grow
I'm finally understanding (standing)
There's so much I could know
Until the day you came along
I used to just get lost
I only heard the things I wanted to hear
It always seemed like no cared
Then you took the time
and now I look and
everything seems clear
You've got me understanding (standing)
You've really helped me see
I'm finally understanding (standing)
It's meant so much to me
You've got me understanding (standing)
You've given me some pride
I'm finally understanding
You're really on my side
Really on my side
Got me understanding
Understanding
Understanding
You've got me understanding
Understanding
Understanding
You've got me understanding
For the first time
You've got me understanding
You've got me understanding

When people ask me what love's all about
There's one thing I can say
Some people believe just what I'm puttin' down
Understand your troubles away
You got to do this thing we're feeling
You got to know just what I'm meaning
You gotta believe just what I'm handing
Understanding, understanding
You got to do this thing we're feeling
You got to know just what I'm meaning
You gotta believe just what I'm handing
Understanding, yes, understanding, alright
You see I love this life I live
And I wanna love it with you
But people if you don't understand
Just what I'm, what I'm puttin' down
There's no more I can do
You got to do this thing we're feeling
You got to know just what I'm meaning
You gotta believe just what I'm handing
[Bronze Nazareth:]
Picture my crowd, nobody following
Yo I be so high swallowing clouds man
Tell me why you still feel rigs of lightning
Yeah we thought I was still fighting
Vision or inside is when you see in
But no one takes the steps to envision
'Cause missing a centralized mission
Needs the digestation in the abdomen of the Beast
Where there are women passing infection of yeast
You still fail to see through clouds of hashish?
In this neglected masterpiece, we call light
Hell yeah I know it's trife
I've wandered through the strive or even pondered taking my own life
But that clears the road through an existence without ice
Let me see, struggling is living, so living is an avenue to focus sights
And doing things in the dark never helps us see the light
So I be seat you; does that crucifix scare you? I'll teach you
People all hammering nails deep into the wrist of Jesus
Even though he's witnessing this directly from my chest
Shit is hard to swallow but there is a time when it must digest
This here - I digress - is at best - destiny manifest
Which means take control of your essence before the hiatus
God bless us
[Kevlaar 7:]
Realization of perfection, only in three sections
Try to view through the madness, with no third-eye glasses
Yet the masses have no vision, of the capability of our precision
And our decision, it's an incision that won't heal
Yeah we talk about keeping it real
When you ain't been in a storm and don't feel
Sincerity; it ain't about one individual's prosperity
It's the rarity of one love that got us in shamble
Looking above by our self with no help
Yes sir! Believe me we all need it
What is hunger if you don't feed it?
How do you know good if you ain't seen evil?
How do you know evil if you ain't seen good?
Few have understood; individually
We are all residually being eroded of our dreams of liberation
Every man has it; but not every man grabs it
They should become habit; until we all fundamentally understand it
This is an esoteric statement, understood by few
If not, grab a dictionary, and make you an itinerary
Ya know, this is a little,
little something for the brothers huh,
a little anthem.
To let the ladies know,
What a brother needs
We need a little understanding
Ya know what I'm saying
Like this
Check it.
La da da dat dat da da (Like this, Like this)
La da da dat dat da da (Like this, check it)
[Verse: 1]
I'm young, like to hang with my crew, have fun
But it seems like all the girls I know,
Never understood that flow
Like, this one when i first met her she was, so cool
But when I told her I need space, she got all in my face
Realizing what I need, the kind of girl to be for me
Now I see it's going to take some understanding
[Chorus:]
To be the one I'm looking for,
The perfect one i need
You gotta be sexy and secure,
And be understanding
Cause I'm the kinda guy that likes to twirk,
No drama that's just me
If you wanna be the one I want
Then be understanding
[Verse: 2]
(Now check it)
One girl she had a little game, personality for days
Insane, the cuttiest little hottie chick
She had the body and whip to go with it
But she had a problem with insecurity jealousy with me
I'm not the one for drama though, so I had to let her go
Realizing what I need, the kind of girl to be for me
Now I see it's going to take some understanding
[Chorus:]
To be the one I'm looking for,
The perfect one i need
You gotta be sexy and secure,
And be understanding
Cause I'm the kinda guy that likes to twirk,
No drama that's just me
If you wanna be the one I want
Then be understanding
[Bridge:]
If you understand me (if you understand me)
Take my hand and show me,(show me girl that you)
That you can be all I need,
And we can fall in love
[Chorus: 2X]
To be the one I'm looking for,
The perfect one i need
You gotta be sexy and secure,
And be understanding
Cause I'm the kinda guy that likes to twirk,
No drama that's just me
If you wanna be the one I want
Then be understanding
To be the on I'm looking for,
La da da dot dot da da
You gotta be sexy and secure,
La da da dot dot da da
Cause I'm the kinda guy that likes to twirk,
No drama that's just me
If you wanna be the one I want
Fella's I wonder would you mind if I talked to ya for a minute. You know, sometimes we have the tendency, or should I say we forget, what a woman needs every now and then. That is if you wanna keep your thing together. Listen to me now)
Do the things that keeps the smile on her face
Say the things that make her feel better everyday.
Then you got to stay on your p's and q's. If you don't, the woman you can easily lose.
Whoa oa oa I, Oh I had a love and I lost her, and no one can help me share the pain that she caused me. Ohhh, a woman's gotta have it, I believe, she's gotta know that she's needed around. When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it, everytime boy, she wants to know that she's not walkin' on shakey ground. Ohhhh, yeah. Well, think it over. Think it over my brother. Don't take for granted the smile on her face. Check a little bit closer, you might find a tear trace. Maybe the girl might never say another word, but you gotta make sure that her voice is heard.
Whoa Ohhh Ohhh I, had a love, a true love and I lost it, I'm suffering all this pain that that love caused me. A woman gotta have it, you got to give it to her, she's got to know that she's needed around, when you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it, she wanna know that she's not walkin' on shakey ground. Yeah.
So if you've got a love, and you wanna keep her, you got to give her what she wants when she wants it, where she wants it, and how she wants it. Every doggone time she feels she needs it. What I'm tryin' to say, a woman gotta have it. hey, hey, hey, a woman gotta have it. Fade
your here what if you weren't
what will happen to me
love can prove unburn it's history
one thing i guess this place would be a mess
for my standard of a start
undemanding
1.2.3.4.
that means your understanding
still here what if we weren't
where do you think i would be (where would i be?)
love i have learned depends on geography
fortune found is when all battle and less
half where couples we knew are dispanding
1.2.3.4.
that takes some understanding
do you know even if we disagree
freedom holds out on a hand to me
I know I would never want to be without you company
and I mean it totally. oohhh... ohhhh...
oh. yeah.
one thing is clear
after all these years
we have reach an understanding (2x)
1.2.3.4.
we have reach an understanding (6x)
have we darling
we have reach an understand
ohh.yeah. understannd
Does not wisdom cry out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
There is a reason.
I know there is a reason.
I dig and I keep digging.
Haven't I found you yet?
What could have driven you to this?
I want to understand you.
But I can't, and I still search.
And I want to find some reasons.
And I want to find some answers.
And when I find some answers, new questions will arise.
Why do people do what they do?
Why can't people just see you?
This world is full of so many lies.
Satan owns the lie and we are all being fooled.
We're all being fooled.
Save us.

But I gotta use my brain, to keep a lady from a hoe
Cause if a hoe break my heart, I should of known she was fake
Now if a lady cheat on me, then that was my mistake
Cause a lady gon need a reason, but she'll go up your letter
And if I'm off note, she deserves some'ing better
Cause she's a lady, and that's hard to be
And also hard to find, so I'm a D-O-G
And honestly I feel bad, I broke a few hearts
But this bullshit fame, just fucked me up from the start
So if you love him just tell him, give him a kiss and a hug
Cause even a dog, can't turn down unconditional love
[talking]

So you know I'ma spit it from a man's point of view
So don't hang up the phone just yet
[Yung Ro]
Understanding, is something we both need
Since we can't see eye to eye, nothing but drama we see
It's not a happy home, it's too much pain and confusion
Got wars going on in my head, and I'm losing
So you and that bullshit you stressing, disappear
I don't need it in my life, it's too real over here
And I hope he make you happy, cause I see that I can't
Your love ain't like mine I'm stressed, I see that you ain't
You still doing you running with who, shit I don't know
Letting time pass you up, living the life of a hoe
And I know you was so guilty, kept your face disguised
And when I kissed you swear to God, I could taste those lies
So bitter so sweet, you a dangerous woman
But I can't fuck with ya mama, cause you ain't never showed me nothing
It was like murder she wrote, when she spoke up like I died
Lord knows a nigga tried, help my understand why
[talking]
Yeah you know, understanding is a beautiful thang
Ha at least when you got it, ha-ha but look out though man
You're now in session with Yung Ro, Counselor
* Understanding is the best thing in the world,
between a boy and a girl
boy and girl and even a woman or a man, its always
better when you realy understand
1) You know Understanding is a mighty powerful thing,
thats why it makes me so sad
when I see my friends wandering aroung thru the world
, never knowing the meaning of the word
Understanding, so in the next few minutes, Im gonna
try to explain just exactly what it means
now wait a minute, listen, for instance, you take me
and my old lady, we gotta good thing goin
because I know If I dont work and pay the rent and the
bills and buy her fine pretty clothes to wear well,
there are fifteen other guys just waitin round the
corner, and I dont care how much that woman loves me
, she? gonna go out and find herself one of them who
will and thats why I believe that
* repeat
2) Now listen I dont want you to think that this is a
one sided affair, no no
because my old lady also understands that a man must
have respect
what I mean is, if she must play around dont let me
catch her, because what I dont see cant hurt me, you
understand? but on the other hand, If I should ever
catch her Im not gonna talk about-a
and call her a bunch of bad names like you all might
no no mh
what Im gonna do, Im gonna go down-town to the
hardware store and buy myself a double blade axe,
come back, square off, and believe her soul? gonna
belong to the good lord
because her head? gonna belong to me, and I
guarantie she? l know what I mean when Ill say
How people tell you lies. I thought you felt the same.
Somehow I thought you'd be there.
Help him beat me down, again. It's all I know.

Left alone to fill time.
So empty all your thoughts now, turn around your hate,
Take a look at me. Hang on security.

There's no one here to help you.
It's all been un-adulterated lies, they'll keep telling you.
They'll keep telling you, how I want to...
Raise it on my own, nothing special maybe, nothing special lately.
Time to feel it on your own, time you want to take control.
control.
So you've told them all, I thought you looked the same!
Do you read this light to help you see it clearer again.
Closer to my letter, open up for some to breed,
You're sharper these days, toll on security.
It's all been overated, this life to live, it's not your own.
there's no one here to help you.
And it's all been un-adulterated lies, they'll keep telling you.
They'll keep telling you, how I want to...
Riase it on my own, nothing specialal lately, nothing special maybe.
Time nto feel it on your own, time you want to take control.

Everybody wants to tell you something,
Everybody wants to fill you, nothing.
Everybody wants to break you out now,
Everybody wants to be be you out now.
And everybody wants to tell you, and everybdoy wants to fill you in.
Do you think it's time to tell them?
Yes I think it's time you shove them a little harder
Yes I think it's time that you pushed them over
Don't you think it's time you told them stop!
Raise it on my own no, no, time to your souless lately.
Everybody wants to tell you something,
Everybody wants to bring you something,
Everybody wants to take you,
And everybdoy wants to bring you down,
Time you feel it in your own, time you let them take control,
Time to fill their needs, so empty all your thoughts my friend.
For everybdoy wants to break you,
Do you take advantage of your time, because you only live once,
do you ever analyze your life, and find empty spaces,
and every now and then it seems, like I'm always sinking,
and every now and then you feel, like you're never living
what was it that made you think, that I could just sit and take this,
what was it that made you think, this is understanding
There's something in this air tonight, and I am lost for you to find,
maybe it's for the best to say goodnight
do you ever wake up in the night, and wonder why you're alone,
do you pay attention to your friends, tell me why you listen,
and every now and then it seems, like im always waiting,
and every now and then you feel, there is no escaping
There's something in this air tonight, and I am lost for you to find,
maybe it's for the best to say goodnight,
the broken pieces left in me, broken up from everything scatter away,
can you just say goodnight
and I'm still searching for that something,
we all look for now you wait for,
im still searching for that something, we all look for
How could you think about yourself at times like this,
was it me or my intentions that you miss,
