Journey's long history with Eastern religious traditions

It's no secret that Eclipse dabbles in some Eastern religious ideas, such as Tantra, a Hindu concept. However, did you ever notice this actually started during Frontiers (if not sooner)?

For example, in Seperate Ways:
"...troubled times, caught between Confucian and Pang, Pang, Pang..."

Fast forward to Eclispe: "...she's a mystery, she's a sweet Confucian..."

These are just a couple of the nods Journey has made towards Confucianism. Have you noticed any other Confucian or other Eastern religious references in Journey music past or present? :?:

I've always thought the opening line of "Sandcastles" bares a striking resemblance to The Adhān (the Muslim call to prayer). :shock: I dunno, maybe it's just me...

Good call. I'm not surprised. To Whom it May Concern mentions Allah. Ross is Muslim? :shock:
