It was sweet year all around. In 1967 I graduated from high-school, began going to rock dances, received answer from a writer- publisher and sold my first drawings monthly, also had a pretty girlfriend who was home-coming queen or something like that.
I heard that the summer of love was actually the year before it was stated....and the '67 summer of love actually began in January with the Human Be-In.......so, technically, (whichever you want to look at it) we are ALREADY in the 40th anniversary swing of it.....
Archimetes, you are exactly correct brother, but to be more specific, it is light transformed into causal prana that allows the consciousness to direct matter into its evolutionary and ultimately embodied form. What we as freaks should be doing for the 40th anniversary of the summer of love is to express this love as a living sacrifice of our consciousnesses by giving them to an awakened Kundalini Devi so She can return home to Shiva, taking us with Her, dig?Then we would be or earth as little Shivas running around, higher than we ever were on owlsley acid, be leagl, and could fix the planet.What do youthink?
