I think this festival should be revived, maybe call it the last human be-in. San fransisco park would be the best location! I was wondering if anyone would know how to organize this?
Namaste Cloud Flower, As a matter of fact, Allen Cohen of the San Francisco Oracle was attempting to do just that a year or so before he died in 2004. i knew him personally and drove him several times to the Haight Street Fair held in early June of every year. Anyway, he kept meeting alot of civil difficuties with the city and so forth, permit obstacles and so forth, plus everybody wanted alot of money to help put it on. It is not like it was in 66' and 67' when everybody was connected and in like spiritual consciousness because of the acid. Plus the law would probably be on us big time too. Things have changed so much for the worse today everywhere. Thats why I say the way to deal with the man, government and the republicans is for all of us to become Tantric Sadhus and awaken our Kundalini's. Then we will have spiritual authority, a blissed out life, power over the government, and it won't be illegal. Had Allen Cohen lived, he would have been doing this very thing because I had him seriousy considering this step because of the transition he saw in me. Peace, Love, and Consciousness.Y.B.
that would be cool, to have it is one big event of spiritual awakening. like bring the dhali lami and other spiritual teachers. we could all learn a great deal. i dont think three days would be long enough though, it would have to last for longer. at least a week, and it would have to be free, cus who wants to learn if they r paying for it. does the dhali lami charge?
its good to see you brother you sound like your on a similar trip as i am (at least when im at my best). namaste
Inspiring suggestion to revive the 'Human Be-In'.We've missed the 40th anniversary but maybe the 45th or even the 50th?.
Maybe we should try aiming for holding it in a different state.... Montana perhaps? If there is a way for the rainbow family to organize gatherings there has got to be a way for us to do the same, I'm sure that I could not do it alone though I need to contact somebody whom actually has experience in organizing such a gathering... 50th anniversary would be groovy... but hell first we need someone who knows what they are doing... or maybe just a crapload of someones who have no clue what they are doing but have the determination to get this done!
Lol xD Though, Wootier...The point of a Be-in is to just...be Be there, with everyone else. Its a unity type thing. Now, at something like a Teach-in...thats where speeches and what would be given. The idea of a Teach-in is to...well, teach xD Anyway...It wouldnt need to be an "anniversary" or anything like that. Be-ins can be held by anyone, in any place. So...you know o.o I suck at explaining things.
Pick a site, day and time and advertise anywhere that's free like hip forums. Make sure you don't put anybody's name on the notices. Then hopefully the weather's good and people just show up.
man, would i LOVE to go to a be-in. hell, i'd love to organize one. definately an idea i'll keep... let us all know if you get anywhere with this!
