Yet More Moody Blues

"Have You Heard" track from 1969 album "On the Threshold of a Dream."  Some rather mellow lyrics:

Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?

Now you know that you are free,
Living all your life at ease.
Each day has it's always,
A look down life's hallways, doorways,
To lead you there.

Now you know how nice it feels,
Scatter good seed in the fields.
Life's ours for the making,
Eternity's waiting, waiting,
For you and me.
Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
 
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?


The verse: "Now you know that you are real," followed by "Now you know that you are free," and "Now you know how nice it feels" all sound almost like Gnostic or mystical sayings about some sort of spiritual realization.  Note the repetition of the word know.   It's not a statement of personal opinion but rather the certainty of some positive force one has encountered within and without oneself, presumably.  And as with many such numinous experiences, one encounters a sense of eternity that one would like to share with one's friends.  This might even be called the "eternal now" mystics talk about, as now is repeated just as often as the word know in the song.  One might say that nowness is the key to eternity.  For example: Living all your life at ease, Each day has it's always seems to reinforce this idea of the importance of living in the moment, the present blossoming into eternity.
