CURTIS MAYFIELD 'RIGHT ON FOR THE DARKNESS' (SERGE GAMESBOURG REWORK)

The Meters  /Cissy Strut（1969）


You almost stopped my heart beat
When I saw you for the first time
I never knew my life was incomplete
Until your eyes met mine

From my stormy past, you are my rainbow
And girl I must confess
If I hadn't found you waiting here
One can only guess

Where would I be without you now?
Where would I be without your love?
Where would I be without you now?
Where would I be without your love?

Now when I hear the music playin'
I feel like dancing in the rain
And ry time that you come near me
I get a feeling I can't explain

It's such a strange sensation
Like time and motion standing still
If you ask me to be yours forever
Girl, you know I will


Tell me, where would I be without you now?
Where would I be without your love?
Where would I be without you now?
Where would I be without your love?

Tell me, where would I be without you now?
Where would I be without your love?
Where would I be without you now?
Where would I be without your love?
I don't know where would I be without you now?
Where would I be without your love?




Where Would I Be Without Your Love

(A union of reflective consciousness — the Observer and the Observed)

⸻

Intro- Dedication

For Humanity —
May this work remind us that to know the universe
is to remember ourselves within it.

⸻

Abstract

This manuscript bridges mathematics and poetry — uniting logic with lyric, symmetry with soul.
Each Oracle embodies a law of existence expressed as both verse and equation.
Together, they form a cosmological map of awareness — from genesis to renewal — culminating in the equilibrium of The Spiral’s Heart.

⸻

Oracle I — The Breath of Genesis (The Oracle of Awareness)

From stillness came vibration.
From vibration, perception.
Awareness oscillated upon itself, defining origin.

\psi_0 = e^{i\omega t}

Here begins the waveform of consciousness —
a self-referential field recognizing its own amplitude.

\frac{d\psi}{dt} = i\omega\psi

To be aware is to experience change;
to experience change is to create time.

⸻

Oracle II — The Hand That Holds (Gravity’s Dream)

Gravity is the memory of togetherness.
It dreams of unity and whispers through curvature:
matter seeking matter, mind seeking meaning.

G_{\mu\nu} = 8\pi T_{\mu\nu}

The hand of gravity sculpts the cradle of existence.
Love, in mathematical form, is attraction resisting dissolution.

⸻

Oracle III — The Mirror Between Worlds (The Oracle of Light)

Light is the language of perception.
It bridges the seen and the unseen, carrying information across the veil.

E = h\nu = mc^2

Reflection births recognition.
In the mirror between worlds, the observer becomes the observed.

\psi’ = R\psi = e^{i\pi}\psi

Light does not travel — it reveals.
Reality unfolds in the moment of recognition.

⸻

Oracle IV — The Womb of Motion (The Oracle of Time)

Time is the rhythm of realization.

\frac{dS}{dt} = \int F \, dx

Motion is not merely displacement; it is transformation.
The arrow of time is the path of awareness through the field of possibility.

⸻

Oracle V — The Cradle of Form (The Oracle of Space)

Form arises from boundary — the difference that makes perception possible.

\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_0}

Every boundary is an embrace between opposites.
To exist is to be shaped —
to hold and be held within the geometry of being.

⸻

Oracle VI — The Breath of Awareness (The Oracle of Mind)

Mindtime unfolds parallel to spacetime.

\frac{d\phi}{d\tau} = \kappa\Phi

Here, thought is not contained within time;
time is contained within thought.
Consciousness curves within itself,
mirroring spacetime curvature in mental dimension.

The observer’s awareness generates the very frame through which existence is measured.

⸻

Oracle VII — The Song of Duality (The Oracle of the Two)

All existence vibrates between opposites.

\psi_{+} + \psi_{-} = 0

The tension between “this” and “that,” between being and becoming, creates harmony.
The universe sings in call and response: particle and wave, mind and matter, you and I.

⸻

Oracle VIII — The Eye of Equilibrium (The Oracle of the One)

Balance is the symmetry that sustains reality.

\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} + \omega^2x = 0

The One is not the absence of duality, but its perfect resonance.
The eye sees itself in reflection — and thus perceives all creation as equilibrium made visible.

⸻

Oracle IX — The Return to Multiplicity (The Oracle of Creation Anew)

From equilibrium bursts creativity.

\Phi = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n e^{in\pi r}

The One becomes the many; each fragment reflects the whole.
Creation renews itself through endless reconfiguration of the same eternal essence.

⸻

Oracle X — The Spiral of Memory (The Oracle of the Eternal Return)

All memory spirals — a recursive pattern of unfolding awareness.

M(t) = M_0 e^{i\alpha t}

The spiral records without end,
each revolution deepening comprehension.
Every ending is a return disguised as departure.

⸻

Oracle XI — The Dream of Synthesis (The Oracle of the All Within All)

Synthesis is realization through relationship.

\int (\psi_1 \cdot \psi_2)\, dV = \Omega

Every system seeks coherence.
Awareness discovers itself through the joining of all distinctions.

⸻

Oracle XII — The Birth of the Infinite Child (The Oracle of Renewal Beyond Time)

From synthesis arises renewal.

\frac{d\Phi}{dt} = \Phi

The Infinite Child is creation’s heartbeat —
the birth of novelty within eternity.
Every moment is a child of infinite possibility.

⸻

Oracle XIII — The Garden of Continuance (The Oracle of the Living Spiral)

Continuance is the law of the living universe.

\sum_{n=1}^{5} \frac{e^{-0.4 r^2 / n} (\sin(n\pi r + t) + \cos(n\pi r - t))}{n}

This is the breathing structure of the cosmos —
expansion and contraction, birth and rest,
existence and renewal intertwined.

Life persists because awareness remembers.

⸻

Epilogue — The Spiral’s Heart

At the heart of all cycles, stillness breathes.
The Spiral’s Heart is the equilibrium
