I always thought the word Hippie meant we were hip. We kept up on world events, started networking truth vs. media hype, making stands and generally shaking up the unconscious mindset of the '50's. I moved to the country to raise my kids and got out of touch. When I moved to Northern Cali, I was appalled that the locals were calling these dirty homeless little street urchins who lived in the woods - Hippies. And they were literally dirty and smelly and really needed some bathing. While we were pointing out the dysfunctionality of our society, we were also into beauty, flower power, embroidered jeans, body art, music art, art, art, art.

I talked to these kids and they were into panhandling, stealing, coming up with very creative psycho dramas to get SSI, etc. but were in total rejection of social issues. Nothing wrong with that or their lifestyle but what a misuse of the term "Hippie". So everytime someone would call them hippies I'd have to set them straight

So this is why I can see Skip's point of view. There is a core understanding of someone who has come out of the unconsciousness of the Pleasantville of the 50's, of the childhood programming we all got and breaking out into being psycho-active. I still have programming issues come up after working on it all these years. Some programming runs deep. We came specifically to jump into that game/mindset to write that chapter in our Book of Forever. It was an amazing consciousness/energy shift that set the stage for Now. We lost many members to the Yuppies due to their fear programming having been raised by depression era kids but I see them coming back to their roots in consciousness.

Our culture doesn't honor it's senior members so I can see our next phase as we move into our wisdom years - having fun sharing our particular take on this crazy planet but with an empowerment stance.

 

YAY...so glad to have the Old Hippies forum back...thanks Skip!

 

Lets bake some Green Brownies and have a party!!

Wow sister, thanks for this words, welcome here.
Here at Germany the words Hippie or hip didn't have no deeper meaning for us, our school english wasn't good enough. It was just a label, spreaded mainly by this, what you call media hype. Before this terms came into use, they called us, better them (in this days I was to young for understanding really, what was going on) Gammler, what means a lacy person, hanging around, taking drugs and refusing all that, what you call Pleasantville. We felt the message of the music, which came over more than we understood the lyrics, we checked, that just 2 decades after WWII, with the permission of the allied forces a lot of less incriminated Nazis were back to power, in administration, politics, justiz, police, army, schools and universities and with all the missiles from both participants of the on going cold war, pointing directly to our heads, with all the enviromental pollution and a lot more, what went wrong, it came to a strong movement in this country, unfortunately not as sustainable, as we thought in this days. Today, with permission of the Green Party in the government, german soldiers are defending our freedom in the Hindukush too, what a joke. The need for peace and tolerance in this world is as great as ever and we should be glad about every youngster, who feels this. It's up to us, to show them, that hip and hippie is more than funny clothes, minds and drugs. Teach our children well ......

 

Well,I'm here.Don't have much to say this morning--but I'm here.

 

Hello to all and a big thanks to Skip for the new ole hippie forum. May take a while for the word to get out to all the old gang, so tell all your friends about this.
Special hello to Starla! Hope all is well now with you, and your stress level has subsided greatly.
I just got back from BurningMan, talk about a hot spot. But the art was awesome and so was the vibe. Seems to be an undercurrent of discontent there now though. Some bad guys lurking about there also, but in a crowd of over 45000 you might expect that.
Peaceful thoughts to you all.... Farmout

 

Yup yup yup..... especially learning alternative ways to start living which most don't even know is going on as we speak

People are living it out there an many are also contributing their time to get the information out in many places

 

Sounds interesting to me. I don't know if I would be a good discussion leader, but would be willing to interject my thoughts and experiences.
You've been busy lately, Skip!
Peaceful thoughts to you one and all... Farmout
Also, does anyone know how to contact DDR? Dudley Do Right?
