umm, excuse me if I'm being slow, but what exactly are you trying to ask or say? Those are, after all, two very broad topics.
well i think he thinks everyone whos rainbow soul purpose for a gathering is to trip balls .. funny,, ive been at the serf council all weekend and we just rock climbed and discussed issues about our fall gathering.. So much for his theory..
ooooh, don't tell the high hippie council, they'll take away your membership card! Disgraceful, honestly
well, the next big national is next summer, July to be exact. But there are always regionals, check welcomehome.org for your local site or a lightline and contact someone. Hope this helps :0)
i've only tripped at my 1st 2 gatherings & i've been going 20 years..umm..i have no idea what this guys asking...clarification please? or he may just be trolling
I've done less mind altering substances at gatherings than in normal, everyday life. Guess it's 'cause the spirit was so good at the gatherings, that it just wasn't "necessary".
yes i agree, i always think itsso sad seeing people by the side f the trail with theyre tongueds hanging out whimpering cause they havent been dosed in days, & then you see all he beautiful spirits floating by on purely natural highs.. i don't trip anymore, but i get offered it alot at gatherings, simply because i don't sit around moping cause i don't have it
why even go if your gonna mope like that. i understand their looking for a high, but this is supposed to be for the true beautifuly spirited people who are looking to love family, not some drug.
You'd be surprised how many people think Rainbow Gatherings are big drug fests, Dark Star; it's the hippie=drugs stereotype thing. The reality is that a lot of Rainbows 'left their mind's door ajar' and they don't need a chemical key to open the door anymore...
i honnestly did way too many drugs before i found rainbow..& at my 1st & second probly tripped harder then i ever had..but shortly after my secind i stopped everything completely except weeed, & i cut that back to only when someone hands me some..wether its twice a week, once every 3 months (or daily at gatherings) at gatherings i'm totaly high on love..bliss..joy..lbj not lsd
yea i think that real strong drugs could really acually take away from the experience, or the full experience of fellowship. I mean stronger drugs as acid sort of mix things up. Not to say lsd isnt an amazing tool for understanding and adventure, im just saying id rather be clear minded enough to really get to relate and conversate on a level that isnt just drug induced. i dunno. but yea weed is a different story. weed is weed. hahah..lsd at rainbow would be an experience but something i may like to experience after a bunch of gatherings, and only if someone offers.
i LOVE that description! wonderful way to put it, hippiestead as for lsd being "an amazing tool for understanding" darkstar, maybe you're way more introspective than i am. i sure as hell am not capable of many insightful moments while trippin (even though i BELIEVE at the time that everything's making sense), lsd is just a carnival ride in my mind. wheee!!!
hahaha very true. id find myself in moments of complete randomness and confussion, but once i was at peace with the substance i could let go and let the knowlege pour in. I dunno, maybe im the only one who has been able to reach that but ive also done alot of lsd in my days.
