Hey Hippies, Well, its been awhile since I have seen a forum I find intresting enough to post on. Since yours actually asks to introduce new members to everyone else I thought I'd oblige. Ill start by saying I'm 25 and live in NE Pennsylvania. I have been one who has tried almost anything once, and the ones I liked, more than once. So its safe to say MJ has been dominant. My best trip was surrounded by hippies at Furthur Festival when they rolled thru last summer. It was not only the quality of the LSD but you guys can really party...just in the parking lot. Currently I am on probation for some dumb stuff, you know the cop can smell it coming from the car. I'd also like to mention that I have a few friends with their Wings proudly worn daily. My interests are researching almost everything, playing video games, reading, and helping others. I came here looking to see who's out there in the world that see eye to eye with me about peace and spirituality. The hippie movement back in the late 60's and yearly 70's was the spark to what I believe to be next Age of Evolution. Since that time people all over the world have been waking up, spiritually and I see that Hippies had it right YEARS ago. To be honest LSD and Marijuana are euphoric inducing chemicals that don't have too many long term effects, LSD being the exception as having some odd long term effects but you still can function on an even level. I am at a crossroads now deciding if they truly assist me in reaching a Higher State of Consciousness, but DMT...Wow! That stuff is one hell of a chemical, no wonder we make that ourselves in our own bodies. My spiritual beliefs are complex yet simple. I have a mix in Buddhism/Christianity/Taoist/New Age beliefs. That alone can fill many threads so I'll leave it to the simple version, Love. The word of God to me is Love. That's it really. I'll end by saying that All I want fully and truly is to have a place where the world around me isn't torn by inhumane feelings, war, corrupt politics, and other suffering idiots but where freedoms that are free, happy people live and work, I can have an honest job that supports those same people. I mean its not hard right? Oh wait, most people don't want those things; they want newer cell phones, bigger HDTVs, and the next episode of the 'Jersey Shore' streaming in front of them while reading Snooky's tweets. Eh, its not their fault they just lost their contact with The Divine and won't take responsibility for it. Well Thanks for having a home worth ranting on and expressing myself effortlessly. Peace.
Don't call me a hipster +_+ Welcome, though The 'god is love' thing, makes me think of this poem: My Delight and the Delight My delight and thy delight Walking, like two angels white, In the gardens of the night: My desire and thy desire Twining to a tongue of fire, Leaping live, and laughing higher: Thro' the everlasting strife In the mystery of life. Love, from whom the world begun, Hath the secret of the sun. Love can tell, and love alone, Whence the million stars were strewn, Why each atom knows its own, How, in spite of woe and death, Gay is life, and sweet is breath: This he taught us, this we knew, Happy in his science true, Hand in hand as we stood 'Neath the shadows of the wood, Heart to heart as we lay In the dawning of the day. -Robert Bridges
Hey Duck that's one of the best poems I've read in a long time. That's a lot of my faith in a nutshell. I'm impressed, shows that coincidence isn't coincidence. Thanks for that.
