I saw in the profile thing the different types of religions, i am wondering, what exactly is the hippie religion. If someone could explain it to me i would be very pleased.
i thought it meant living your life as a good person, period. Not following any particular religion, but living your life and treating others as you would like to be treated.
i think its kind of a transcendentalist religion. A big appreciation for human commraderee. Highly Spiritual but not religious. A deep apreciation for nature,art, and other cultures is implied and seen as holy
by Thomas Ivan Dahlheimer Stephen Gaskin, an internationally renowned hippie icon, says his religion is "Hippie." He once said: "I believe that energy's the Holy Spirit, I believe that it's the body and blood of Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, and anybody along that line. We're a dance of energy, arranged and held in the mind of God." Be Here Now, is the title of a book written by the yogi and spiritual teacher Ram Dass. It is a book about the hippie counterculture's Eastern religions' based, syncretistic blend of the world's religions, a new world religion. It has been described as the "counterculture's bible". More than 2 million copies were sold and it helped engender the New Age movement, including the New Age religion, especially including the hippie expression of it ("the hippie New Age religion"). The first section of the book inspired the lyrics to George Harrison's song "Be Here Now". The hippie expression of the New Age movement is attempting to unify the world's religions and cultures to create a single universal religion and global culture wherein all of humanity will live harmoniously together. The Hippie movement represents a particular type of globalization. It's promoted in John Lennon's Imagine lyrics: "I hope some day you'll join us And the world will live as one."
