What Is Babylon In Context To The Rainbow Family?

I've been around some rainbow family and there seemed to be a universal catch phrase firmly established, with attitudes and feelings, toward a Babylon that is of course figurative. What is it?

 

City, the established society, the 'grid'.

Basically where all the zuzu's come from.

 

thanks for your input...i welcome others to comment furhter

i heard zuzu's before, it's been sometime since I last heard it. what's that in context to?

 

I Think It Means The "Bump & Grind" Of Mainstream Society......



Cheers Glen.

 

It think it may be lightly referred to the 'bump and grind' of life today too, but since the word Babylon is used specifcally to describe that, then the "bump and grind' reveals more. it must have deeper meanings and workings to the definition...nah mean?

whichever rainbow family implied that word knew more than the rainbow laity who use it today.

there's a history behind it with a certain context and defined strictly and not generally

 

Zuzu's are junk food, sweets and such.

 

Rainbo terms I'm a bit familar with. & mind u, some o these were symbiotic w/ deadshows. Dranbow//blissninny/weed ghost. This is one or more individiuals who bum weed or food frm ppl or camps while contributin nuthin. Some of these folks havebeen doin it many yrs. Some acampers do. This some don't. Acamp is mostly alochol abusers who generally are or maybe ued to be a branch of or independent of a security force of shanti sena. Some acampers have in past perfoormed shati sens services. Sad, becuz some acampers r decent folks. Some acampers in pas times were vietnam vets. This gave acamp much more of a credibility. Some acampers dug latrines' & trails & watched parked vehicles. & kept riffraff outa th gathering. Acamp became synonymous w/ a front gate of the gathering. So, therefore a back gate was started, which is supposedly more peaceful. & sometimes there is an entirely seperate jesus gathering. & then we say the term "kids" which long term gatherers have actually chastized me for sayin partly becuz they fergot. Th term "kids" frm some sources comes frm th term "child of god". I'd thot it came frm th term "jerry's kids". "Kids" could signify older folks too as also it means 1st time folks, or newbies. Mountain money can mean toilet paper. Tp has another term, too. A troll poll is a tube used to blow into a fire.

 

Ground-scoring is synonymous w curb-siding, which is related to dumpter-diving. Simply means finding something on th ground. Curb-siding is finding something in a town or city which was set out generally a resident of such. Dumpter-diving kinda speaks for itself. Although one generally doesn't just dive in. Often there can be hazardous materials. One generally pokes around a dumpster b4 carefully climbin in. Some kids r actually too proud(or scared) to dumpster-dive. Tho probly wouldn't admit to th latter. Spangin, begging sign-flyin are ways of acquiring cash or maybe food frm babylonians. Often, however this cash or food doesn't make it to a gathering. An elder is a person who has been to many gatherings. I suppose I'm an elder. A kitchen is a place where food is prepared & cooked. Ain't necessarily within th gig. Some r in pking lots or bus villages. A kitchen can be most anywhere. Coffeeshop/house. This is a place or camp that ain't necessarily limited to coffee. A smaller operation than a kitchen. Hand-washing station, all are encouraged to use this, it rather speaks fer itself. Main trail, again speaks fer itself. This can be 3 mi long. Maybe more. Blissware, yer own utentils, & containers(coffee/teacup, personal eating bowl. Kinda important as it teaches kids(elders,too), to wash their own dishes. Thereby takin work away frm dish crew. Alotta kids(elders,too) will grab a cup/bowl, pan or utensil, use it, then leave it lyin around dirty. Many have been found by cleanup crews. So bliss was invented.

 

I was at a regional in Montana Crazy Mountains and some people were dumpster diving outside a Hostess factory. The factory found out and started cutting open the bags.

It kinda sucks that a lot of family can't make profit in life. I think a lot of mentally ill people find there way to gatherings, illness of many kinda. There are people that do their own thing and make a decent living with freedom.

Lot's of young people roaming the country who just haven't found much yet. Not that a Gathering isn't much but there is more than drugs to life.

I still haven't gotten my shit together all the way yet. If I can I will stop by another gathering. It's just a lot of work to head out on the road. Takes green energy and there is a lot I want to do still yet.

 

Thx bud for a good reply. Yes, there's much more than drugs, to life.

Political Clowns​

​

The best political clowns are those none can find;​

The next best are both loved and praised;​

And those remaining,​

Adopt, any caricatures!​

As if joining some parade!​

And meandering downtown!​

Angry clowns, jumping around!​

Losing interest, in political humor!​

The majority become reliably gullible!​

Most voting for the first clown in town!​

Who merely happens, to scream the loudest!​

​

Patriotic Rotten Tomatoes​

​

When your politics are no longer funny,​

Stupid crap isn't considered silly anymore;​

Petty crap can become less of a joke.​

Any self-righteous hypocrisy, blatant,​

When the Patriotic rotten tomatoes fly!​

Burying simple comedy,​

Under mountains of crap,​

Where the light never shines sports fans!​

​

Bullshit Artists​

​

Bullshit artists spouting crap,​

Cannot succeed every single time.​

Gullibility is shaped by accepting our ignorance,​

Not someone's meaningless bullshit!​

Own your crap and you give it away,​

Spout absolute nonsense and gullible clowns follow,​

Others think you are their friend if you act aloof!​

Some come on strong, some really weak,​

And very few, will get right to the point,​

Usually preferring, to drag everything out.​

Superfluously verbose of the performing arts.​

​

​

Attracting Flies​

​

Offer sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll to every clown around,​

And wannabe comedians will line up to entertain you.​

If instead you furnish them greater ignorant wisdom,​

All the clowns in the world, can watch out for you!​

Knowing which way more loathsome winds blow,​

Offering ignorant wisdom is not very glamorous,​

But neither is foolishly attracting a lot of flies!​
