    first thing about being a hippie, dont try to be anything but yourself.
    loose ur ego, loose your image, loose everything about you.
    detach yourself from anything created by man.
    money, rules, limitations, opinions, right and wrong, images, style, class, races.

    and put yourself in a natrual mindset.
    stay true to yourself, and your mother earth.
    dont be fooled.
    find yourself, not an image of something eles.

    To be a hippie you must believe in peace as the way to resolve differences among peoples, ideologies and religions. The way to peace is through love and tolerance. Loving means accepting others as they are, giving them freedom to express themselves and not judging them based on appearances. This is the core of the hippie philosophy. So being a hippie is not a matter of dress, behavior, economic status, or social milieu. You must free yourself, Live your life how you wanna live it. You may have to become more mature, you live in your own world you dont live by the clock. you make your own rules, Fuck the system , care for the enviroment and do what you like to do. Peace out

    how to become a hippie.
    that reminds of sometime back at a goth blog, when someone asked: "help me be goth!"
    my response was: "hummm, help me be goth... have not heard that one before."
    now, here, it is "help me be hippie."
    i have not heard that one before either.

    in my case, i just knew at a very young age, that i just did not fit into, a coventional mainstream lifestyle.
    it took me awhile; i had to explore and experence, and i had to find where i fit in the world.

    i think your on the right path, it will take time to grow into where fit.
    don't sweat it. just enjoy the trip.

    You can't become a hippie.
    It's something innate.

    Not that I'm an old hippie by any stretch, but then again I've kind of always been.
    BUT, my point is:
    Don't ask a question. Question the answers.
    Translated as:
    Just because your fed a line, doesn't mean you have to eat it. Do what babies do, spit it out! We are all babies in the scheme of it all.
    Grow your SELF.
    Love above all else.

    don't try to be anything. I could tell you all day that in order to look like a hippie you must wear tattered, tie-dye sundresses and listen to the grateful dead. You must dance in a very funny, unique style using lots of arm-twirling action whilst listening to the dead. You must walk barefoot in nature all the time, and hug trees and put flowers in your hair. You must attend music festivals in the summer and attend phish shows and pretend like its actually good music. And in the end you'll end up being a giant carictature of what you want to be.

    Bottom line, you should dress the way you're most comfortable. Listen to music that crawls deep in your soul and rests there a while. Act in a way that is true to yourself. If not, you'll end up trying hard to be someone and not being anyone at all. I know plenty of people that don't try to be hippies, and they don't look or act like conventional hippies, but to me they still are hippies at heart because they are true to themselves and live in harmony with their own wants and desires.

    It seems to me that if you want to be a hippie, you already are one.

    One thing you can do if you really are interested in the hippie culture is read things that inspired the hippies....henry david thoreau is great, ralph waldo emerson. These guys will get you in touch with the nature side of things. The beat generation is what spawned the entire counterculture of the 60s so I would recommend reading anything by jack kerouac or allen gingsberg. Learn about the counterculture of the 60s and the roots of it all.
