Past Life Hippies Unite! ;)

People,people,people as I was part of the time you dream of being a part of.Your desires show strenght,to advance humanity.Transcend these time boundries,and move forward with your beliefs,instead of wasting energy attempting to go back.The collective force of the young is a mighty force,if applied.Emulate your wishes and desires,regardless of what society thinks.Doing this could very well bring about your dream world,thus saving the human race from their own self destruction.It is the same cry of the young that was heard in the 60's.Plus society is more apt to listen,since society is comprised of survivors from the 60's.A word to the young,you are the future,plan it right for the benefit of us all.

 

Yeah, I'm the same way. I feel like everything that makes me, me is more related to the 60s than to any other time. I love everything that hippies were about. I dream about being in the 60's. And if anybody goes to the positive mental attitude forum, I have my experience with my othe reality, which is also set in the 60s. I feel like the reason I am this way, and why I was born in this era instead is to help bring back peace and love. Maybe that's our purpose. Maybe we're the ones who are supposed to change the world.

 

I think rather than wishing we lived in the 60's counterculture, we should live in our own and actually try to make the revolution succeed this time.

 

i notice a lot of people were quick to say that we should make what we can out of now, which is totally possible, but it's just the feeling of not belonging in this day, or this time, or this place, or with these people, or this country or anything! I just don't belong here right now.

 

Make it a place to belong! Only you can make the world what it is.

 

I broke down and cried about it once. This society kills me and what makes it bearable is the psychedelics and the music. Whenever i watch the woodstock movie i just imagine those people there and how great it must have been to be at woodstock. I wish i was there.

 

that's exactly how i feel.

 

Yeah, I feel the same way man, I mean, now in this world we call home, everything seems to be for money and the more this u have or that the better u r, or some shit like that. But money, and cars, and having like 4 houses, that doesnt make u, well u. Sometimes I'm not sure what makes us, us, u know. But I know what doesnt make us, us, and I would do ne thing to have lived in the 60's, or atleast live like the 60's, and that's all I CAN do, is live the 60's now, today, u know, and whether people dislike the way I live, or don't appreciate how I live my life in peace and love, thats boss man, I can be down with that, whether I dig it or not, but if more people took the time to relize and know and even live the 60's, then maybe, just maybe the 60's could return, and I do get carried away sometimes, but in my mind ne thing is possible, so if u didnt live IN the 60's, why not try to live the way they did. But what ever u wan't man, it's solid. Peace and love man

 

It's shitty to feel like that, I have it from time to time too, but I always try to make some good stuff out of it. This time is indeed a stupid one. most people are all for themselfs and not being social and all, it's all money money money that sux. But you can't do anything about it, besides trying to live as cool as possible and don't care about what other people think. Just be friendly and social, have a good time. The all money thing is bad, but there are enough people who don't like that idea. I think if you have a job which you really like then the money thing isn't a problem, it's just something you get at the end of the month and it makes you able to live a good live. Lots of people feel like this, try to locate some via this forum which are near you and meet up and have fun. It should be really nice, since you all got kinda the same feeling and you can make the feeling of the 60's yourselfs. If you want to go even further, try to change some stuff and go with demonstrations and protest.

 

Hello everyone,

I was a hippie in my last life, and died at a young age, reborn in this current form circa 1982...

Yet I would never want to go back, I did it, why do it again?

"The time, the time is now, and it's right for me, it's right for me, the time is now, the word, the word is love, and it's right for me, it's right for me, and the word is Love!" - YES

NOW NOW NOW!

Never live in the past, live in the present, the past and future are one, right now.

Love now, love all beings, love the life you were given!

Everything is beautiful! And this society stinks, but it is beautiful, destruction is shiva, and shiva is vishnu the preserver and vishnu is krishna, in other words, destruction is a form of the LOVE the cosmos has for US!

Have a cosmic sense of humor, see the mystical paradox!

And work with beings of all paths, all walks of life, to awaken this world to unconditional universal love, brother and sisterhood, sharing, consciousness revolution, freeing the mind, getting off all the hangups of sex, gender, race... all the things the hippies were about.


The only way out is IN, find a place inside that will keep you safe, the heart cave, you can sit, with total comfort, total peace, and shine your light across the universe!

 

Somehow I think GanjaPrince is right. You live now, not yesterday.

 

I too wish I was around in the 60s, I was born just 4 months short

Like other posters have said, we should focus more on how we can make things the way we want them to be. Spreading the word is probably the best way we can do it. In this day and age we have access to the entire world through the internet. Put a website up. Get some colourful cardboard and make up some business-type cards with your name, website and message on it and give them out to everyone you know and everyone you meet, to spread the word. (Why should business cards only be for business?) Make your own t-shirts with pictures of your favourite 60's people or events on them. Meet up regularly with like-minded friends where you can play the part.

We may not be able to go back but there are probably heaps of opportunities out there we can all take advantage of to make the present and the future a better place for ourselves.

 

we shouldn't be trying to bring back anything. we need to take lessons learned and counterculture values of the 60's and moveforward with them. take it a step further.

you may think that society today is just about money and greed, but you have to remember that it has always been a counter culture thing-a few young people, misbehaving, going against society, standing up for their beliefs, trying to make a difference. and the movement started to grow and by the sixties it was mainstream almost.

and you can see a faint little glow, a shimmer, a few young people, listening to older music and starting bands influenced by it-subterranean, no one you'd hear of in the mainstream. a few young people taking a stand for animal rights, realizing that we are ruining the envrionment and natural resources-realizing that war gets you no where-moving away from the mass franchise.

it has always been a counter culture thing. it alstarted with a few who though that something was wrong and wanted to change it.

 

I think it was the “hundredth monkey”. That is- we all seemed to get this idea at the same time. I don’t know if it started at any one place. It was like the next leap in evolution.

Peace

 

Hi Everybody and Peace to All,


Man, just reading what all you young kids say about the sixties brings back so many memories and a few tears. Most of you wish you had lived in the era and I can't say I blame you. I was a hippie and lived the lifestyle as I knew it in San Antonio, TX. It was a time for tremendous social and cultural change, but you guys have the power to do the same today. I implore all of you to get out and connect with people. Learn and study the values set forth by the Hippies of the sixties and put them to the test in today's society. In the sisxties, we protested against an unjust war, do the same today. The Iraqi War is wrong and started by a misguided, transplanted Texan. In Novemeber, go out and rock the vote (for those of you old enough to vote). This may seem alien to the Hippie culture, but it has evolved as a powerful tool that gives us all a voice in our government. The way to change government is not by overthrowing it but by imploding it from the inside out. Our vote allows us to make sure that change does take place. We can't allow twisted conservative values jepordize what was so hard fought for in the sixties. If you truly belive in freedom and everthing it represents, then go out and vote in November and throw out the scoundrels. The Republican party is a party of exclusion not inclusion as they would have you believe. Bush is not a uniter but a divider, and he has garnered support for pushing constituional admendments that will jepordize our freedoms. If he wins in November that I hate to see what this country will look like in 2008. Sorry if I kind of veered off track but I feel that if you truly love the sixties and all it stood for, then the only alternative is to stop wishing you had lived there and participate in today's society. So go out there and live life to the fullest. Join a protest group, give of your time freely to better our society, and just enjoy yourselves.

ive been doing a lot of research on the 60's lately. the more i learn about it, the more i want to bring it to today. i feel like thats my reason for being on this earth. to bring peace and love back. of course, i cant do it alone. i wish there was more people like the people in these forums. everyone should just come together with people from their community that are here. we should have a day where we start a revolution. it should be in every major city in the US, and the world for that matter. any thoughts?

 

I totally feel like I was a hippy in my past life. I swear I even have flashbacks from it man. Like they're triggered by smells or feelings and stuff like that. I remember being at concerts and stuff and it's just really far-out stuff man.

 

It's a trip to read How simular you young dudes and chicks are to those of us in the 60's. One element I dont see as much is the musicans just being musicans playing to play and to entertain the people. For example; a little basement club on Sunset (maybe someone who did less LSD can remember the name) never charged for shows, and you never knew who would show-up. The Youngblood, being joined for a 40 minute blues jam with Zappa & Capitan Beefheart,Hendrix & Buddy Miles followed by Zappa and Beefheart doing a battle of the bands, playing every instrument on the stage. Almost forgot..Mickey Dolense(?) of the Monkeys. Started changing in the 70's. A band of friends living in my apartment recordedunder 5 names the Arches, etc. But there was also rogue cops and authorized rogue cops,bad drugs, and much else you would not want to relive.
And yes, statesiders need to vote and without a spirtual element all will deteriate. Go For IT: JNANAJOHN

 

I totally think people our age today who are hip and into the love era were reincarnated! I have this poster called flower child that I wish I could jump into because it sums up how I feel and where I would feel most comfortable in. It is possible the universe knew there would be a time when our free spirited loving peaceful souls would be needed again and that time is now! I mean if you compare today with yesterday. I see it. Ya dig? Sometimes I feel sad because I feel so out of place and then I talk with those who are interwined with my mind and man...that is a trip within itself. I want to hop on the magic bus all over again. Peace and Love

 

for me it goes past feeling out of place and time.

Ive been told (half jokingly) my entire life that i was born in the wrong decade. my parents used to tell me i was born 40 years too late (i would have been 18 in 64 then)

And since i was about 16 ive been told by countless family members that i must be a reincarnation of my aunt. Several family members whom i recently met for the first time at a wedding instantly said "you must be beverly's grandaughter, you look and carry yourself and just like your aunt. In fact, after talking to you i feel like im talking to Crystal, makes me think twice about reincarnation" and the such. Its strange, we have the same taste in music, same taste in clothing, trave, food, same shoe size, even little details like i found out a few weeks ago i use the same soap and shampoos and all this stuff that she uses. Down to the tiniest details.

And the more pics of her i see the more i realize i really do resemble her. She was a huge hippie in the 60s. Toured with the dead, hit woodstock, and ended up living in arizona/cali (not sue which was first) selling home made jewelry and clothing, then moved to India, then south america. She died before i was born, though.

Anywho, so not only do i feel out of place and have been told im out of place, i swear- i may be my aunts reincarnation.
