 Coolness: 38475 | in response to LukePeril who said: "Why is it that every time somebody wants to promote spirituality it involves so much pretentious talk about "wavelengths" and snap judgements of people as being negative when they're actually doing the opposite by being humourous? Is humour illegal to the "Tribe"? And where do you get off using the term "tribal" people? What, like if you're a member of some sort of tribe you can go, but if you're not, don't come? I'm not particularly tribal and the idea interests me, but all this talk about people not being on the right wavelength is flaky bullshit. I CALL BULLSHIT ON YOUR AIR OF SPIRITUAL SUPERIORITY! Just because it's a Mayan ritual doesn't mean that it's suddenly super holy, it's a ritual like any other, and it deserves to be spoken about without all the pretense. It's a gathering for peace. If 8000 people show up, yes it will create positive resonance. But that doesn't mean that it's exclusive to people who don't make jokes about sample packs! Hey you'd never have all the music you love listening to without sample packs! Get your head out of your pompous ass!"
look i am not trying to have any sort of spirituality-superiourity complex............. yargh... i was just trying to pass on the message and didn't want to have a huge debate over it ..... no matter what i say on here someone seems bound to either read into it, or misunderstand my intention entirely (at least on this thread) so whatever..... read into things what you want, take it as you will but if you read the original posting you will notice it suggests you can do this participation alone at home or with friends or with family or with a community or with whomever you want in whatever way you want so where on earth one needs to have a special badge or pass "tribe" to participate is beyond me... you read your own rules into this apparently... Update » April-Anna wrote on Sun Mar 9, 2008 @ 9:07pm i never even wrote the original message anyways... I just was passing on the word.... that original message says who wrote that message, who it comes from....
hold up a mirror cause i ain't throwing no superiority around.... even when I stated that I thought some of the responses seemed disrespectful and immature, I said it in as respectfull a manor as I could the same as I would in person with close friends whom I felt there was some kind of misunderstanding with... I am not attacking anyone so don't attack me... I never said that anyone on this thread didn't have a right to participate; how can i control or sensor that? why would i want to? all i want is a world of harmony we were talk out our problems instead of attacking each other ... so on and so forth... i am sure if i elaborate too much on what i want for hte world that you will attack me for being a "fucking hippie" cheers.

| Coolness: 38475 | I don't know what the TRON movie is and I am not very funny when it comes to online interactions.... my humour tends to involve bad puns and strange cartoon sounds and british influenced thinking..... yargh......... |

 Coolness: 159140 | Again, I think it's a given that we aren't exactly the most spiritual of people on here.
If I was never on this board before, I'd read about 4 threads and decide not to post such stuff on here. If you do, don't expect to get instant approval from everyone here. Sarcasm taints this board heavily, it should be considered when posting on here. |

| Coolness: 685610 | if I just load all my drum samples into fruityloops and roll my face back and forth along my keyboard does that count as contributing? |

 Coolness: 76730 | Man where did you find all those samples? This set is amazing! Thanks a fucking million...
Sorry to snap April-Anna, but I've been on my own distinct spiritual path for a long time and a lot of my "spiritual" friends would talk a lot of shit about how cynicism and sarcasm, satire, irony, were all negative wavelengths, how whenever I wound up in a shitty situation it was my own fault for attracting that sort of energy, if life was hard or stressful it was because I was entirely due to my perspective, and a lot of people who I used to hang out with despite their differences essentially chose to distance themselves from me entirely because I dared to think differently. I felt relieved in a sense because the pressure to conform to their narrow-minded ideologies was no longer there, especially not tied in with accusations that I was not the open-minded one, when I've been able to make friends with people from all different walks of life and not just a set clique. It got to me really bad, the sort of paranoia about negative vibes and the consistent strict analysis of everything as being some sort of illusion and therefore dismissing it, when I've personally found that if life is indeed an illusion, then it's going to take a hell of a lot more than hiding from it to dispel the illusion. You have to deal with it head on, right? So yes, I probably overreacted but I felt it needed to be said. A gathering of a mass of people to drum is a positive thing indeed, and sounds exciting in fact. But a lot of people do lip service to causes without really caring about them, and a lot of people in the "spiritual" sort of circles tend to all jump on the same bandwagon, regardless of whether or not the information they receive is being passed around by a cult. Examples: Nag Champa, at least the popular blue box, says "Sai Baba" on the packaging, and often has an image of the afro-haired leader of a spiritual cult on it. Sai Baba, in case you didn't know, runs a very successful cult which has a great deal of yuppies convinced that he has magical powers, what with his ability to pull coins with his image upon them out of thin air, to do so-called miracles that are usually of a material sort, and his ability to sexually pleasure all his cult members at the same time, or something like that. The 11:11 ritual and the Flower of Life organization that makes a big deal about it and the 14-stage meditation for astral travel is actually a rather major cult that tries to use the idea of Merkaba-oriented astral travel to sell tons of books and make enough money to pay for fancy retreats where they go through their bullshit, claiming they can turn into UFOs. Dr. Jose Arguelles is a certified nutjob, and his interpretations of Quiché Maya astrology result in a very stylized, fashionable version of an age old tradition. He changed names of many of the symbols, came up with cheesy doggerel to describe each sign, and managed to sell a lot of books and calendars. He's a high level magician, trained via the OtO if I'm not mistaken, and he famously started tripping on the whole Mayan thing after a PTSD reaction to the death of his son, leading to him writing "Surfers of the Zuvuya", an embarrassing read about how he was apparently visited in his own head by a Mayan "dude" who used surfer-style lingo and metaphor to tell him about the Tzolkin and the structure of space. In contrast, Dr. Bronner's soaps have tons of bizarre wacked out religious writing on them but they sell like crazy. Hey, good thing it's amazing soap. And good thing he meant well. But what am I trying to say? A lot of people out there get a little bit too open-minded, but never learn from their errors. And their gullible nature leads them down many a wrong road. But they go back and get burned over and over again. I myself have always been a skeptic and continue to hold on to that so that I don't get brainwashed. And all I want is for people to realize that they don't have to involve themselves in other people's wacked out fantasies in order to escape a reality that causes them suffering, but rather that they actually have to do something constructive with their lives. It's easy to fall prey to NLP techniques and any sort of fourth-circuit ecstasy-driven hypnotism. Read "Prometheus Rising" by R.A.Wilson, on the topic of fourth-circuit programming and ecstatic brainwashing, and you'll understand what I mean. I still hope personally that Magick and paranormal phenomena are real to some extent. But there are very few people who can prove it without trying to make a buck off of it or indoctrinate everyone they know into their vicariously created cults. So for this reason I am deeply cynical and suspicious of mass-rituals, because they're great opportunities to throw ideas into empty heads. Watch for the fnords, kids. |
