Editing Easter Everywhere (section)

===Title===
While the use of the term ''[[Easter]]'' in the album's title is often misconstrued as implying the album to be of primarily [[Christianity|Christian]] merit, the album's composition melds the beliefs of multiple religions, combining [[Buddhism|Buddhist]], [[Hinduism|Hindu]], and [[Gnosticism|Gnostic]] scriptures into a single unifying spiritual concept evaluated from a Western, Christian perspective.<ref name="Drummond" />{{rp|280}} In the band's first and only interview, given to [[Houston]] fanzine ''Mother'' on November 20, 1967, Tommy Hall explained the correct interpretation of the title:

{{blockquote|Well, [the title] comes from the idea of [[Higher consciousness|Christ Consciousness]]. And realizing that you can be born again; that you can constantly change and be reformed into a better and better person. It's like a progressive perfection, and ''Easter Everywhere'' is sort of the combination or culmination of this idea as echoed in the public. It's like everyone is snapping to this; that there is a middle ground between the Eastern trip and the Western trip, and that is by learning to use your emotion and realizing what emotion is and why it is there and how to control it from a pleasure point of view so that you don't get hung up in a down place. It's just the idea of rising from the dead all over, everywhere.<ref name="Drummond" />{{rp|280}}}}
