where on earth are all the real "hippies"

Where have they all gone?

Has everyone sold out?

Where are the open souls, the optimisitic, loving, peaceful, free spirits that open their hearts and minds, showing ONE LOVE to everyone. Everything has become so cynical. I know there's not much to be positive about these days, but COME ON.

Maybe it's where I've moved to. I'm just so disappointed that I've not met a single soul in this area that I resonate with... arghgh... this is def a venting post. :0)

for a while i had a bumber sticker that said, beware of the undercover hippie-- i no longer can look the "part" of a hippie; now I am forced to buy into a certain amount of commercial capitalism and spend an inordinate amount of money on clothing that makes me viable in the corporate marketplace... but what I'm looking for that I call hippie isn't necessarily the way someone dresses.. although I'm a sucker for the long haired, dirty hippie (you know, dirty/clean) (does anyone feel me??)... it's more the feeling you get about their view on life... I don't know. I just smoked the last of my herb and I'm in a sleepy little godforsaken town in the dirty south...

ramble ramble

love to anyone out there who's made it this far into this silly little rant.
keep lovin'
keep groovin'
keep smiling in the face of all this bullshit going on in the world...
keep the hope alive

 

I know how you feel Im also in a sleepy little godforsaken town in the south, only I have no weed because you cant get anything but dried out crap filled with stems and seeds here.
So look on the bright side, at least you had weed to smoke!

 

Yes. That's the bright side!! ♥ All out now, though, unsure where to even being looking here, that's OK, I smoke very little these days anyway.

Are there any Rainbow family gatherings in south MS? I feel like running away for a couple of days... (God, I sound 15. hehe)

 

to me u are borne into the world with an open heart, man dont get down and losse ur vibe, i dress fancy some times, tho conforming just isnt me, like i see i just dont look, above open and fee, theres a simple light not always bright, if u pave the way, others just may, haha and its cool to say, and work for no pay, u must be able to see, tho putting ur self before another aint grovy, hip is every were, put a flower in ur hair and watch how people stare, take a step with out a shoe, and see how much u can undo, so long as ur happy and free in ur mind, my friend, cheer up, u know u atract like minded people, every were is the same sociaty has mad it un cool to talk to strangers, if no one is talking what are they thinking, u know, just say hi, or evan better hay man, those are some grovey threads, haha yeah thats the way, we all have a story and have left foot prints in the sand, fuck how was that for a ramble, it felt good thank u my friend, ui know what they say powere and light, peace and love, close ur eyes then u might see, if you aint triping u sure as hell wont fall, haha peace love to u all,

At festivals, in pocket communities in places like the Bay Area, Northern California and Oregon. In big cities like Denver and Los Angeles.

You know what it's like in consensual reality. It's a tough old world and that is the "game face" that most people show. Hell, i have to walk some tough, mean, ghetto streets sometimes and you better believe the look on my face is stern and my attitude is strident and ghetto.

i wish i could figure out the secret. i am able to bring the information back from my visions, but i cannot figure out a way to spread the message of peace/love/oneness in reality. There is so much fear behind it all. Fear of death, fear of injury, fear of loss, fear of making a fool of oneself, so many fears i don't have time to list them all. It's at the root of all the greed, hatred, violence and anger we see every damned day.

If we could just wake up a little bit, get off of autopilot, realize what's real and what's just body stuff, eat to live and not live to eat, follow what is basically The Golden Rule (treat others as you would like to be treated) it would be a much better world for us and our descendants.

Peace & Love,

I hear what you are saying. I'm a bit cynical though because of alot of shit I see going on outside of shows. I'm tired of 16 year olds tripping balls telling me to worship Satan so I can hang out with Jerry Garcia in the afterlife. I'm tired of not being able to trust much of what I'm able to eat or drink. When I stopped smoking pot for 15 years I got tired of being told I wasn't a Hippie because I didn't take drugs. I got tired of being asked by young kids why if I was such a hippie I wasn't going to Burning Man. I sometimes get sick of the status symbols and the "Hippier than though," attitudes that I keep running into. I get sick of the clueless masses on both sides. The ones who have latched onto the scene like barnicles and the ones on the outside who judge the whole thing by the ones who have latched onto the scene like barnicles.

Peace Out,

I'm here but I keep my own council and lead my life as I choose, frugally and as non-materialistically ( that's my made up word for today) as possible. I know that my mind is in the right place and that's all that's important.

 

You guys should come to SA.We have the Grahamstown arts festival here every year,very kewl. The nice about SA is that even though we quickly getting "Americanized" for average South African the hippie way isn't that out-worldly like my parents (like most Xhosa parents) thought me things like "ubuntu" which translated very roughly into english is " the very "thing" thats makes you human" and when our parents define ubuntu they use the phrase "umntu ngumntu ngabantu" translated into english it something like " a human is human by people" (i'm not sure if that is grammatically correct in english) but it means basically you can only call yourself a person if you live in sync with other people.I not trying to boast or anything but showing how hip SA , like its normal for me to call any woman my mothers age "mother" and to treat everyone as if they were family.The sad thing though is that the capitalism bug and materialism bug is fastly infecting us but fortunately as it is now there still many places were people still uphold philosophies like ubuntu , i totally recommend you go to the Grahamstown arts festival at some stage of your life i mean we ve got 11 official languages (yes 11) more different cultures than you can imagine and when everyone comes together nobody judges you there inst the usual "more hippier than thou" bullshit i mean nobody even cares about titles.But alas even here the culture is slowly dying with all the American television and capitalist thinking and greed ...

Same reasons the mafia no longer exists. Jail time for substance really turns people off from joining a hippie faction.
