We were gonna change the world...what happened?

The Negitive energy that has been radiating from this planet has been gathering in the heavens above us, since time began. Then scales were tiped and the negitivity came pouring back down on us.

In the 50/60s a new vibration of positive energy was now being brought together by likeminded people, who's intrest led them to join together and have a voice. A voice that spoke of Love and Peace and Equality for all Humanity/Earth/Creature.

All the "Rules" that blocked us from evolving Spiritualy were being challenged. The frequency was now being cluttered with static from all the killing in Nam and we were cut off from our Universal Flow from the Divine Source.

The ones that were not bound by tradition and governmental controll were seeking reconnection with the Source. Feelings were, we had lost connection with 'GOD' and were were trying to 'Get Back To The Garden' or recapture our oneness with our Higher Spirits.

We started asking questions, we questioned everything. Our need to know the truth was paramount. Did GOD exsist.

It was dificult to know the truth when ones were led to believe in peace and love Spiritualy and Physicaly go to war and kill. Spending our lives toiling in jobs we hate so we could pay for the war. Giving life and limb to a government that was NOT for the good of the ALL but only to themselves.

The feelings (vibes) we picked up from society at large made us break away from the force that bound us to conventional thinking. We began a quest to find the Truth.

Ones started coming together in sucluded places and having discussions on religion and world affairs. More people gathered and passed the vibe around that there was more to it lighting a spark that intrested the Spirit minded and with the combanation of Spirt and Intelect the Movement began.

With the quest for the truth we were developing a more peaceful vibration in the atmospheir above us and less negitive energy was being created. The power of the love energy was gathering at a tremedous rate as the likeminded ones grew in numbers and strenght.

With so much love energy being broadcasted into the universe at once the vibrational pull was changed and balance was in the making. Thought patterns were beinging to develope that were on more of an even flow with the univeral rythem.

This challenged the controll of the governmental forces of power and greed which they in turn promoted a 'war' against us. They hounded us and persicuted us and even killed us as we held our Peace Banners high. We were spit on, kicked, beaten, jailed and tortured. We had our babies ripped from our arms and put in 'Homes' because we were teaching them the way of love and peace.

We did not waver, we took it, ate it and survived it. We held strong in our beliefs. We gained knowledge, awareness of a connection with all things thus forming a new understanding which we pass on to our children and their children.

With 'conditioning' our offspring with love and awareness of Spiritual presents we will change the vribrational energy flow from negitive to positive and bring about a more peaceful world inviroment.

We did not stop, we did not disapear. We simply were building homes for our children. We had to provide a means of support to sustain us. We had obtained the knowledge we needed to Teach Our Children and that is what we are doing now, preparing our kids and grandkids for a better world.

We brought about change in 'our time'. We are changed. It is up to the generations that follow to contenue the change from the legacy we left. WE are still here, we will not let go. We Will take our stand when the time is called for us to rise up. Our numbers are many and our hearts are true.

Walk in the Light Brothers and Sisters, the Time draws near. Put your best in your "Work" and be joyful, create the change in you.

I think that was the longest post I've ever read. But yeah dude, I totally agree!

 

I apologise for the length of my previous post Green. At times when the "Flow" is right, the words just keep coming, pouring out from the depths of my Being.

I have learned to just sit back and 'let er' fly' bc there is no stoping the Infinate Source when it takes hold.

Blessed Be My Brother.

 

Wow, that was really beautiful!

 

Yeah, that was beautiful, if slightly harrowing in parts but truth is truth.

May I just say as a post sixties person that you original hippies have certainly inspired me and I believe the change will be complete in the next few years. More on that to come.

I don't think humanity has been a negative force since our creation though. Just since the perversion of the RC church and its bastard offspring (not that I have anything against Jesus himself), but that's plenty long enough.

All change.

 

I should rephrase that first statement with, negitive forces since Man began. As the Planet itself is Glorious.

It IS humanity that has done the damage. It will also be humanity that will heal it. Wrong thinking, EGO thinking is what is our downfall is. Changing the way we think of ourselves will be the first step for change to take place.

POWER TO THE PEACEFUL
HIPPIE WISE

 

I ran away to Greenwich Village in 1966 at the age of 18, not to change the world, but to become a writer. I had read a lot of Henry Miller, Jack Kerouac and others; listened to the early Bob Dylan and the rest of the folkies, and had become convinced that New York City was the place to be. I was right.


This was before the hippie thing and I fell into what was left of the beatnik scene. THANK YOU, GOD! My friends were wanna-be artists, musicians, writers for THE VILLAGE VOICE, schooner captains, collage-assemblers, etc. What we all had in common was this: we wanted to make as much money as possible by doing the least amount of work so we could devote our lives to reading, writing, painting and mastering the guitar or piano. Change the world? Hell, it suited us just fine the way it was-- only in America could conniving neer-do-wells like us exist in freedom. The war in Vietnam? Well, we just didn't go there, you understand. It was horrible, of course; we were against it, you see; but we actually didn't give one flying fuck if it continued forever.

Cynical, you say? Of course, but we preferred the term "realistic". We were educated people and knew that wars are a favorite and seemingly necessary form of recreation for a sizable percentage of the human race. We knew our history. The big thing is to avoid them.

By 1967, McDougal and West 4th St. and the area around Washington Square Park were beginning to be awash every night and most of the day with people whom the media (Herb Caen of THE SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER, mostly) began calling "hippies". To us, it was "teeny-boppers", and we picked up as many as we could. But, I was only a year or so older than they, and I soon was inviegled into driving cross-country in my un-inspected 1950 Chevy to check out the Haight-Ashbury scene.

Yes.

It was there when I first heard the term "change the world". By then, I was twenty and had New York street smarts. I watched the 24-7 procession of barefoot druggies, many of them only 13 or 14, drag themselves up and down the fog-shrowded streets, taking any drug that was offered, many times by men old enough to be their father, human predators who saw a golden opportunity to get some young pussy (or young cock) at the price of a couple joints. Ye Gods!

I sat many a night with stoned idiots, illiterate morons, wasted dunces who would shoot speed, drop STP, smoke cow manure if someone told them there was a buzz to be had. NEVER IN 6 MONTHS DID I HAVE ONE CONVERSATION ABOUT LITERATURE, ART, HISTORY, ANY GODDAMN THING EXCEPT DRUGS, ROCK MUSIC, CHANGING THE WORLD, DRUGS, THE FUCKING VIETNAM WAR, DRUGS, THE FUCKING PIGS, CHANGING THE WORLD, THEIR LATEST CASE OF CLAP, ROCK MUSIC,MAN!, DRUGS AND CHANGING THE WORLD! YOU DIG, MAN?

Jesus Jumping Christ! I returned to New York City, man, I had had enough!

That, my friends, is why we (the disgusting Baby-Boomer Generation [of which, unfortunately, I'm a member]) didn't change the world.

P.S." Wow, man!" (Wasted on a cornucopia of drugs, unwashed for a week, living on soda, corn-dogs and stale potato chips, balling anyone, anywhere, anytime, diseased or not)," Wasn't that groovy when we shot up in the bathroom at The Fish and Chips and rushed so bad we passed out for ten minutes?"

They changed the world, all right: they helped tp make it worse. We're still reaping the foul winds of the 60's.

 

That's a lot more than most people can comprehend, but I like it that way. It keeps evil ones from knowing what is REALLY going on. They have their ways and we have ours. It's still a battle of good and evil, but the rank and file are massing. If you want the change join the ranks!
Love ya, Donny Jr.

 

i feel that we did change the world. i remember seeing white and negro water fountains, i remember blacks having to sit at the back of the bus, i remember women hardly having any rights at all, i remember blacks having to give their lives to be able to have the right to vote, i remember the viet nam war being stopped by our generation from all the protests, i remember richard nixon having to resign because of water gate and all of us demonstrating. so the drugs got in the way, hey we were children coming from the uptight 50's where we had no rights, we went crazy with our freedom, we had to learn moderation. i am still fighting for a war to end, the Iraq war, i am still fighting to have a evil president impeached, i am still fighting for civil rights, the ERA and to keep abortion legal. we stood up and we shouted, 'HELL NO WE WON'T GO" to the war machine of the viet nam war, i think we did plenty and i think we will again. we are all needed to "get up, stand up, stand up for our rights," as bob marley sang to us to do.

Sloth Outta Here!

 

i wasn't around in this era.. but i'd like to say to all the likeminded people to get a move on, and while it wont be quite like it was (as if i'd really know), we have all the time in the world for this generation and the next and so on and so forth to change the world. a little glitch cant let us lose all hope! i'm for a brighter future. =).

 

[...] message deleted. I was too tired to write anything that makes sense

 

Sloth Outta Here!

 

Yes - no - and no



No one ever grew up without doing a few things that they will always regret

No there was sex and drugs

No but we tried

 

It's not nice to make old men cry

 

Not quite the way I remember it - yea there is some truth in what you say - but I suspect that you were an elitist then and are one now - but that is cool - elitists provided a lot of our books and music - but they missed many things.

 

it's a cry from a sort of hapyness isnt it?? well then it's oke i think?? else i'll whipe your tears oldie

 

yea - its a happy cry - thanks
