hmm yup, i used the wrong word sorry.
i meant - ability to question reality, and therefore imagine changes and maybe even actually starting the revolution to get them applied... or in other words evolving.

because the government doesn't mind these things, they keep the world low, addicted and stupid.
they just don't want us getting high and intelligent, because then we might start a revolution.
and that would mean the end of their 'power' you know...

that's mostly young people that are trying to be something they are not. trying to fit a marketed style because they don't know who they are yet...

and the hippies, you know, they were a socio-political-whatever movement in the sixties and the seventies. this movement is no more today, the circumstances in the world are really different. we are more like the children of the hippies, and there are a lot of their values that have been passed on to us as a society, and there are a lot of their values that still need to be fought for. but anyways the hippies were not the first to stand for love, and they are not the last either.

we didn't start the fire
it was always burnin'
since the world's been turnin'... ;)

we do not like to be categorized because we are unique beings, and everyone is unique and that's what made us all the same - humans. people thinking i'm a hippie or whatever else just put a label on me, and fail to see me for who i really am. and i do not like that, because i am not a hippie; my name is anne-marie, and i live now. i am another yourself - a living creature. recognize me or just fuck off. but please stop spreading lies that separates the people into stupid categories.

murdock... i am not the one who attacked your points of view. i actually like what you say, it shows some intelligence and interest in the subject. i just don't particularly enjoy being disregarded as a hippie, but anyways i try to just ignore it and go on with the real contents whenever things like that happen.

you say it is premature to have a new calendar and i agree in the sense that a new calendar will never happen overnight. there is already a group of people who have suggested the 13 moon calendar to the vatican, and they just refused it. so now this little group of people is going among the people of every nation trying to get people to know and understand this calendar. it is slowly growing, as more and more open-minded people get in contact with it and realize that it would be a good idea to change our crooked measure of time.

i think it is premature for it to be generally accepted, but i do not think it is premature to do something about it and be open. it's a work in process you know. what i am doing here is continuing the spreading of information. i'm not trying to brainwash anyone, only to make people actually question the 'reality' on which their life is based.

now i must ask you where do you see cultural intolerance in the spreading of the seed of the 13 moon calendar?
personnaly i tolerate that everyone use the calendar they choose. what i do not tolerate is blind belief to something just because it's what we've always been doing, or because everyone else does it. if someone gives me an intelligent reason to use whichever calendar they are using i'll consider their choice enlightened. other than that, it is only conditionning because we know no alternative. i am showing an alternative here - for the moment that's all i'm doing.

and penis enlargements

is your brain dirty? wash it yourself lol.
i'm all in favor of thinking for oneself.
but you know, actually thinking... not just accepting or denying what someone shows us because that's our conditionning...

ok so there's two sides of the brain...
philosophically happy is one half,
and the other half would be artistically happy.

don't worry be happy
and draw happyface on the walls
and on your face too,

drugs are fun, but it's what you do that will make you happy.
real life man. ;)

who/what is god? the god of discrimination?
the sun shines on everyone except those who stay in the shadows.

i do not believe a calendar will make anyone happier, but i believe we can build more equal things if we have tools that have equal measures, and that are rooted into reality instead of into... whatever our current calendar is rooted into lol.

DIY - do it yourself.
what are you looking for? phat pants?
there are people in the scene who can MAKE clothes for ya, and it'll cost you much less than the sweden stuff + shipping, and you'll encourage local artists.

what's the difference between philosophically happy and normal happy?

culture is not about being close-minded and holding on to only the one view we've been raised with. the world is opening up. culture is about opening up and enjoying possibilities. culture is about advancement, as a species now because we have the means to communicate all together. no one is right and no one is wrong, but so many people think their view is the right one and try to impose it on others. that's what war is all about.

culture is about life and creation. about tradition and innovation. the 13 moons calendar is actually an adaptation of most ancient eastern calendars (lunar) and the western ones (solar), unifying both ways of counting time in a perfectly realistic device.

i know how all cultures will have resistance to this, because it would mean letting go. people are afraid of letting go, afraid of every little egodeath even if it means the birth of something else, new possibilities, everything.

if someone dictates it yes it guarantees war.
if people all agree on it it is different. it implies people opening up their minds and releasing the fear of change. and getting together in a celebration of all cultures.

we're in for the revolution man wanna smoke a joint?
no to the war in viet-nam! ....ehhh i mean in irak!

it was a low dosage, but i don't remember exactly.
i'd call that a party dose or something. i had fun. ;)

tina... thank you so much for making sense! i think what you say is intelligent. what i have to say about the effects of time keeping on the people is mostly about the moon; i spoke to a lot of people who don't even know when the full moon or the new moon is happening, but they know what date we are. i think it is important to be conscious of the real energies around us and synchronize with them, and i think that is an important role of a calendar.

personnaly i tend to keep track of time with both the cycles of the moon and the sun, with key events like the movements of the planets somehow integrated. this is what is the most natural and real to me, but it is rather complicated to most people, and not very practical in the industrialized kind of world we live in. sure i still use dates, because i have to, but they really mean nothing, they are void of signification, they don't carry any particular quality of energy (apart from the 7-day cycle).

once every cycle will be everyone's birthday, on the day they were born, just like it's always been!!
so we'll all be like the new jesus - maybe this is what they prophetized as the return of the christ!!

among the first nations using this calendar, some had the day out of time in the winter, close to the day we know as january first, and some had it at the rise of the star sirius, which happens in the hottest days of july.

what job? synchronize. ok. yes. synchronize to what? to other human beings. ok. yes. on the basis of a fucked up unequal system. ok. yes. i see how it matches everything we have created so far...

i see that the world IS broken. i see corporations using earth resources, cutting trees without giving thanks, i see people waking up and going to work in a dark place for a whole day without seeing the sun only so they can have enough money to eat, i see... a lot of things are broken actually.

so what if there is no 6th of april? well first of all we don't have to go to work on something we don't like that morning because we are not scheduled to anymore. but no wait, that does not make sense, that's not the way it would be. we'd still need money to live because they own all the land and all the trees.

so what do we really need then to fix it? a complete new world order. and why not start with one completely simple thing to do - erase all the calendar mistakes of the past by reforming a new calendar with a new intention - a peace plan instead of a domination plan promoting unequality...

it is actually quite simple, murdock, so you don't have to feel like you have to treat people of hippies and tell them to go die because you don't understand. here, let me explain it in simple terms.

31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 365
unequal mesures, based on the ego of ancient roman leaders.
in the original calendar, all the months were 30 days, and it left a five day period for perceiving the taxes.
you probably saw before that september, which means seventh, is actually the ninth month. and october (8 ) is the actually the tenth. and november (9) is the eleventh. and december (10) is the twelvth.
that is because one year there was a big fuck up in the calendar because the roman emperors loved to manipulate the calendar so they could perceive more money from the people, so much that the spring was now in the fall! so one year cesar decided to put the calendar back in place because time was too fucked up, and this year is known as the year of confusion. there was the months unidecember, duodecember. really fucked up shit.
and then there was the calendar reform, the julian calendar, with alterning months of 30 and 31 days. and cesar took the central month and named it after him. and then the emperor who came after him, augustus, was jealous and wanted to have a month to his name too so he renamed one as august and he wanted to have as many days as cesar so he took one day from february and put it to his month.
but still this calendar got fucked up after a couple hundred years and the pope gregory, helped by good mathematicians and astronoms, created the 366th day every four years. this is known as the gregorian calendar, and it is the one that is is viguor right now.

(13 X 28 ) + 1 = 365
equal mesures in relation to the moon and the sun, and a day 'out of time' dedicated to festivities, worldwide peace through culture. every moon comes with a purpose, which completes an action process in a year.
i mean - why wouldn't we give it a try? it's much more simple and efficient than the fucked up fuckedupness of cesar and friends.

there is not 13 moons in a year though.
a moon is not 28 days, from one full moon to another it is closer to 29.5 days.

madeskimo - it is not simply only about this - it is about LIFE. can you understand?

to madeskimo:

uhh i don't see why would i get knocked the fuck down. i don't feel i am knocked the fuck down. i live my life happily and stuff, yes i have ambitions but they are not about changing the world by myself. i want the people to come together that's all. there are many people like me out there and we don't get knocked the fuck down...

i'm a raver too, so i wouln't spit on technology - yes we are in symbiosis with technology... as long as we use it intelligently. it is the mis-use of this technology that makes me sad. it is wanting to speak with someone on the bus, but realizing they are all either speaking on their cellphones or listening to loud music on their i-pods. and feeling isolated because even when we are all together, we manage to isolate ourselves in a little world of technology.

i think it comes from fear of the unknown that we all have to get rid of in order to progress, but that is constantly re-enforced by everything they feed us.

time is calculated as space movements, hence our materialistic 3d view of everything. time is seen as an endless line of past/present/future. but where is this heading to, we don't know, humanity somehow think they are making progress in technology and the materialistic field but this time line is a grant of endless insatisfaction because this 'progress' never ends.

i think it is time we look beyond materialistic advances, and start seeking our truth as living beings - what are we here for? i see so many gadgets these days, people with cell phones and i-pods and everything, and you know, it all separates us from each other and the possibilities of life. it isolates us into our own little world and closes us from the people around you and what they could bring to us, it is simply ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL... keeping us from reaching the unity that makes us strong as human beings.

who controls time controls life.
who controls the time of society controls mostly everything.
our calendar presently is going nowhere, and so is society...
what time is it, really?

do you know where our gregorian calendar comes from? seriously... it is disgusting that we still use that corrupted system as a basis for our society - no wonder everything is so fucked up!

tellement wooow comme party!
le monde est super, la musique, toute sauf les police.
ahhhh j'aime le dub! pis j'aime le monde plein de couleurs! pis j'aime l'energie de tout le monde, vous etes tellement beaux!
a la prochaine!!! :) :) :)

i did it at the tamtams yesterday and i loved it!

feeling really happy at first, and i could play the djembé and the bongos so much better than i did usually. and then when i got up and moved to other places this is when the drug started to hit stronger, trippy visual stuff happening and everything was so weird and fun! it has something really similar to acid, but different, i think it's easier to get along with, maybe because the dose i had wasn't that strong, i don't know really.

dancing on the stuff is amazing, i was sooo dancing the dance of life and tripping on the drums and the people's faces and characters. the coming down was interesting, it's like i felt it was time for coming down and i just wished for it to happen and it happened all of a sudden, i was playing djembe and i stopped and i was feeling sober, but still tripped out.

and i had that silly smile on my face hahha :)

and now it's the day after, and my brain feels fucked.

i don't have any - only my dad's explanation on how the molecule breaks down in the brain.

if you take mescalin, the molecule breaks down into serotonin, oxygen, all natural stuff you can find in the brain, alors y'a clairement aucun dommage à long terme.

if you take 2c-b, the way it breaks down, ça fait qu'il reste du brome dans le cerveau, et il a pas d'affaire là, naturellement. je sais pas à quel point c'est toxique, mais c'est quand même introduire une molécule étrangère au cerveau, qui va soit rester là pour toujours, ou soit se décomposer avec une autre molécule, et possiblement causer des dommages, là je m'y connais pas assez en neurochimie alors je sais pas.

est-ce que quelqu'un en a un article qui parle de ça?


2c-b


mescaline

c'est bientot!
psy + reggae = miam!
il va y'avoir plein d'elfes à ce party-là!

skateboarding and writing and sewing stuff together

ayahuasca seems like a good place to start.
i don't know - anyone tried that? what are your impressions, compared to the pure dmt concentrated short trip? is it like less intense and easier to get along with? how do the two trips relate together? any similarities, since dmt is the active ingredient in ayahuasca?

2c-b is toxic for the brain - and it's trip descriptions are similar to mescaline, which is natural and non-toxic.
but i can't really say for the effects, i've never tried either of those drugs.
just a thought...

i like the words in happy hardcore when they hold a positive message of revolution and getting together.

we are the children on the night
and fight for the future of our nation
let's come together and unite
nothing's gonna stop us now
let the fire burn inside
nobody can stop this generation
cause we're the children of the night
don't ever let them put you down
get up, get up, get up,
now is the time to change
get up, get up, get up,
there is no time to waste

those lyrics are just amazing good and there are other songs like that, they just feel so right. or sometimes it is the melody that is just amazing, the harmonies, the feelings, like you're on e, but you don't need to take e...

peu importe si les humains existent encore ou non tsé,

to discover --> jose arguelles wrote books in that sense, you may really enjoy them...

moi j'apprend à connaitre les plantes pour remplacer les médicaments et drogues de la société, et la guérison avec l'énergie comme le reiki. (surtout utilisée en combinaison au massage...)
dans une société future si on veut être capables de se détacher de nos biens matériels exponentiels, va falloir qu'on découvre nos pouvoirs intérieurs.
sauf que tsé va dire ça à un médecin ou à pas mal n'importe qui et ils vont juste t'envoyer promener... tsé même ma famille me reconnais pas. alors j'oeuvre dans l'underground, c'est tout, y'a vraiment du monde qui sont sensibles aux énergies psychiques, ou du moins qui y sont ouverts, et c'est un pas dans la bonne direction d'après moi.

et vous, à part dire des conneries (lol) qu'est-ce que vous faites?

....c'est l'effort à faire!
personnellement j'trouve qu'il y a rien de meilleur que la bouffe qui est bonne, parce que mes papilles gustatives et mon corps sont tout à fait d'accord, tandis que je sais que dans mettons la sauce à poutine (puisqu'on parle de ça!) ils mettent du glutamate monosodique, qui est un ingrédient sournois, dans le sens que ça proguit une réaction chimique sur tes papilles gustatives qui te fait croire que c'est bon et que t'en veux plus, quand en fait tout ton corps fait comme 'yaaark va encore falloir dealer avec ça!'
moi en tout cas juste de savoir ça ça me rend pas mal plus consciente de ce qui se passe en réalité quand je mande du fast food et ça me donne pas le gout vraiment d'en manger.

laws won't ever keep people from smoking, laws are there only for those who believe in them and those who get caught. ;)

lol christelle :)
là ou je suis y'en a du papier de toilette, et c'est sur que si c'est dégueux je vais en utiliser, mais j'essaie d'en utiliser le moins possible et de m'alimenter le mieux possible pour pas en avoir besoin.
juste réduire la consommation de papier de toilette de moitié... c'est un grand pas, surtout que ça implique de manger mieux et ça ça parait dans l'industrie alimentaire aussi (moins de fastfood, moins de nourriture préfabriquée sur-emballée, etc)

burning man je sais... mais c'est pas pour toute la vie. dans la réalité il faut toujours revenir au monde 'réel' et 'civilisé' parce que burning man c'est pas un vrai rêve, ça dure juste une semaine. :p

c'est juste deux façons de voir la même chose. y'en a pas une plus valable que l'autre. y'a deux côtés à un cerveau, et c'est bien de s'en servir autant un que l'autre. rationnel-masculin-scientifique-matérialiste et intuitif-féminin-artistique-spirituel.
c'est alors à ce moment là qu'on fait des progrès, qu'on crée quelque chose, etc...
