The Magic of the 60s

Science doesn't explain why, only how; no one can say why you die, but they can tell you how you can die.

 

Sometimes people would just rather not think about it.

i am only 16/17, i missed out on the first comming....i want 2 do everything i possibly can to speed up the arrival of the second comming, i want 2 experience what the hippies from the 60's did.....jesus's second comming is a common misconception....it is the hippie movement not jesus that is the second comming

 

if there is a second movement that will be so great. right about this time we need something. all of this mass consumer commercialism bullshit. i swear if they come out with one more type of coke...:$

 

ya. or if they use another Rolling Stones song in a commercial for the new coke! ARRRRGH!

hee hee... ok sorry off topic i guess but I agree man.

no wait... next is coke with 1/2 the cocaine! its healthy man! hahaha just joking.

anyways.

~~Peace~~

 

yeah was the fuck was it with that commercial. your playing this really good song in the back round making it look all inspirational or something and then they put up on the screen C2 of what ever the fuck its called, and i'm like NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Dont tell me that was to advertize a fucking coke! And on top of that ANOTHER fucking kind of coke! When will the madness end!


Yeah that was back in the good ol' days when they used to put the coke in the coke. Now if it did have half coke in it then it would make scence for then to lend the song to the commercial.

 

Good ole days? You are 15...you are in your "good ole days".

 

He never said HIS good 'ol days... I refer to past differences like that too, and I'm 16.

 

In this life I was born after the sixties. I just know I was a hippie n the sixties in a past life. I can actually see it. Not even just the feeling of magic but I can actually see what it was like to be at woodstock, get high on pot, and drive a hippie van. I've not experienced any of those things in this life.

I think I'm here to help start the second hippie movement. There's still a time for peace, and we still swear it's not too late.

 

Correction: She never said HER good 'ol days...

 

Yes, that's what I meant to say...

>_>

<_<

 

Coca cola is probably one of the least dangerious and urgent of the problems facing humanity.
'The 60's' that you are all refering too was not some period of time to sit around and be nastalgic and soppy about. The 'Magic of the 60's' was there because the youth of that time became dilousioned with the opressive materialistic\beurocratic\purtinical view of life that was so omni present in the 50s and early 60's.

The 'way' in which you live life is software, your brain is quite obviously the biocomputer. Everything about the way you do things is a choice, there is no one answer to any given problem but many. No one way to do anything is right, but inorder to understand any of them, you must be able to see it in all prespectives. The secret they keep is that the contents of that software are completly re-writable and they have a monopoly on the standard/average/normal script for the way to live life.

Put it this way...

If you didn't make an effort to metaprogram your mind in a way you find spiritual and suitable, who did? Society? Is the filter which filters the data coming into your senses too strong to see past the fact that 'other people' have litterally constructed your view of life (and no, this has nothing to do with careers, families, motor cars, or homes. get the picture.) It just may be. The reason I can say, that it is easy for it to get like this, is because I used to be one of the programed ones. A sheep in the flock. I made my escape, but it wasn't easy... Anyone can 'see the light' they just have to be shown how to look.

Jesus was not devine. The gospels that made their way into "the bible" were picked from almost fifty. JESUS WAS NOT DEVINE. He was a man, he had a wife and even a child. Constinitine the great decided inorder to bring the splitting pagan/christian rome back under one religion and unify the city again, he re-wrote the christian doctrine and he re-shaped the face of modern christianity. This whole mess is such a large ball of deception, that there is no point in even trying to detaingle it, just throw the whole thing out! They even frown on sex and subjugate the sacred feminin half of humanity... why? ....even through sex nature offers religious expirences...

Spirituality should account for 50% of the human life(this means time, energy, and priority). If these fundmental problems were to be improved in mankind... the 'side effects' (just name almost any socital ill) of a sick society would slowly heal. Organizations are always corrupted. A REAL religion, could never be an ORGANIZED religion.

i completely agree. while you can't be sure if jesus actually did have a wife and kids, alot of the bible is sorted through and changed by people many times over the years. and organized religion is alway a bad idea. more people have died in the name of god than anything else over the past few thousand years.

 

The 60´s were great. People were trying to get some freedom of speech, they were trying to find more about themselves, about their sexual life, about their bodies and they used to be in touch with spiritual stuffs, religions.

And that makes a huge difference, because when you believe in something powerful and stronger than all humans, you are not so vain and selfish, and you try to give what you have and make poor people (I´m not just talking about money) happier.

 

Well said.

 

That's probably why a lot of people in the 60's looked to eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism; they aren't an organized religion. Most of it is self-practice; the Four Noble Truths and Eight-fold Path of Buddhism is a great example of this. I'm Buddhist but I can't seek to follow the Four Noble Truths so long as I'm with my parents as they are Protestant Christians and can't escape materialism.

Just recently, they bought a $800 entertainment center; which was completely uneccesary as our TV stand was just fine. They grew suspicious of my actions when I began to release a lot of my material possessions and only cared for music and other entertainment objects. I guess I've taken the first step towards fullfilling the Four Noble Truths; but I will have a difficult time removing all desire from my life until I'm much older as I live in a materialistic society focused on excess (aka America).

 

I am the product of two white chritian over-consumers as well. These kind of purchaces are really thin, they are usually just to get a "buyers high", that sort of fealing of possibilities you feel after buying something big - usually only even mkaes for a noticable feeling to those who don't use drugs. The basic rushes in life are so amazing to "them". Addreneline, Dopamine (orgasm), Endorfin Release (chocolate,love) and all these feelings are intense in the life of people who's biggest chemical feelings in their brians are the "cheap shot" emotional ups and downs:


Television - the more I take psychedelics, the more I think of it as an enslaving force of humanity. The control it has over everyons mind is very disturbing, yet compleatly SUB ROSA. I used to be a 'hardcore american', nearly a perfect capitilist baby, before I became about 16 and had the same sort of revalations you're having/had (I wasn't even getting high at the time at all).



I just never applied any premade theories or religions as symbolic identification. Once I began to religiously use psychedelics all the time, spirituality and symbolism have taken unfathomably new depts and personal meaning. Besiclly I just never figured out that I could use the Buddhist symbolism to my personal advantage. Fire enough though, I have found my own "enlightenment", which personally, I value way more than someone elses verson of nirvana.

Tim Leary's "8 Fold Model of Human Consciousness" works in secryonicity with the buddhist version. This is no COINCIDENCE!!!

Duh real majic iz in duh Hair.

like natural, unlike duh devilpigz

 

Toby Keith drives me nuts. Heh. Anyone else?

 

very much so. He thinks sticking a boot up someone's ass makes you a good American. oh, that song is so bone-headed!

very secretly in my mind i've always wanted old, decrepit Bob Dylan to kick Toby Keith's ass. Well, not physically, but just to outperform him with both his music and intellegence. Just another one of my sick dreams, I guess....

anyways...
