You shouldn't be so defensive...

I'm just a humble student hoping to bask in your great wisdom.

Thanks for sharing your love and good vibes like that.

How silly of me to mention that Tibetans believed in 10 chakras not 7.
Obviously you all knew that, I'm so "pas report"

Maybe someday, with your great compassion I'll learn to stop asking questions and seeking truth.

Maybe then I can be Full of Love, Be Balanced, Positive and Spiritual like you people.

BTW feel free to ignore my posts and go on like nothing ever happen.

I have another question that might be slightly Of topic (sorry). But I don't know where else I might get an answer. Does anyone here know a lot about Tibetan Buddhism?
I have taken a course in Vipassana and we learn in that school of Buddhism that chakaras are one of the forms of Hinduism that Buddha shed in his re-formation, so I have a reasonable doubt that the Dalia Lama "believes" in chakras, can anyone confirm or deny this with a source?

Found a source, apparently the Tibetan Buddhists do have chakras, but not the same 7 as Hinduism (yoga), [ www.kheper.net ]

First of all I want to be VERY CLEAR, it is not my intention to "DESTROY" Space Gathering.
I would have never even gotten involved in this public discussion if it was not for 3 things;-

1) Banning my roommate (Eatingownbrain) from the discussion
2) Declaring that the Dalai Lama will receive $5/ticket
3) I seam to be the only one who can post a critic without being banned

Many years ago I boycotted Eclipse (2004?) and that same year everything went wrong. The Tech Safari team responded by simplifying and putting on a solid event the next year. I am happy they paid there dues and got there act together. They are now my favorite festival.

Having said that, I hope that Space Gathering gets it's act together too.

Now as far as concerns Space Gathering...

Space Gathering has had many problems over the years (lets try and remain civil and not get into details here). Problems are to be expected with a festival of this size. The biggest problems I see though is with how the problems are dealt with. There is clearly a lack of responsibility and accountability. Every year the festival grows without ever having addressed the basic problems.

The other thing I cannot condone/accept is the prevailing self-serving "spirituality"
A wonderful example has been provided by you Melilady...

Yin is Black, Female, Negative
Yang is White, Positive, Male

The basic philosophy is one of eternal balance between these forces.

It is nothing short of blasphemous profanity (self serving "spirituality") to;

1)Claim the Positive will win in the end
2)Invert the Positive, Negative/Masculine, Feminine
3)Superimpose your personal (western?) conception of good and evil to pervert this ancient philosophy to suit your argument.

Insofar as the censorship goes (rules on banning [ www.rave.ca ] )

Pleckobwoy and Eatingownbrain have personal, intimate first hand knowledge from last years Space Gathering. Where as you, Melilady, were not there, nor will you be there this year. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that it only happened once (2007?) that you were both involved in the organization and in attendance of the festival.

Unfortunately what Pleckobwoy and Eatingownbrain have to say is more relevant than what you have to say, Melilady.

Now...I hope that my critic is taken positively. I hope that Space Gathering is a success.
I hope that a sense of Organization, of Responsibility, of Accountability emerges.

I hope that everyone gets paid, I hope someone can produce a receipt from the Dalai Lama, I even hope that the organizers can make a profit for their troubles.

It would be my GREAT PLEASURE to be wrong.

If such is the case, I PROMISE to deliver a Public Apology.

It is true that the group of people organizing this festival is a good group of people. I know most of them personally, but I demand more than what has been delivered in the past.

Unfortunately the only tools I have at my disposal to demand more are this forum and a personal boycott.

I'm not sure why a "discussion board" is the wrong place to discuss opinions or concerns.
I have tried to discuss with a couple of the people involved one on one.

All I have received as an answer is that I'm negative for not approving of all that has happened over the years, even that I'm not welcome with my "negative" attitude.

I finally have an answer for that,

If it's raining out and I realize that rain helps the flowers grow that is being positive.
If it's raining out and I try and convince myself it's sunny then that's denial.

Ignoring problems is not positive, addressing these problems honestly and improving upon them is.
Banning and belittling the people with comments you don't consider positive is not open minded, it is censorship.

Anyways, I have decided not to attend this year.

Best eclipse ever, without a doubt. In fact it's hands down, the best all round party I've been to in the last 7 years. The music, the organization, the people, the music, oh sweet clear music.
Tech Safari has proven themselves to be the best organizers in Mtl bringing us a world class festival, worth every penny I paid.
Only complaints I heard were about GMS's set, but what did you expect ;)
I'll take a (cheesy?) star who parodies himself over an egoist "rock star" big name DJ any day.
The only question I have is what can they possibly do next year to improve on that?

I'd personally never consume datura, and the people who do generally know nothing about it. The toxicity is lower than the dosage, so unless you build your tolerance to the poison, you are being dying while very high, I can't think off any drug that would feel good if you were being poisoned at the same time.

Montreal's best kept secret - Cosmic Orgasm ;)

I didn't see anyone mentioning that it use to be a symbol for the horned god, a symbol of fertility

I thought GHB was naturally occurring in the body, not toxic, except with alcohol

its very homosexual

cest vrai sa vous devriez vous en retourner d ou vous venez

Holy shit its incredible

I'm NOT in a relationship with a 21 yr old girl, and public threads and secrets don't go well together...Kinda the same as calling the police...since they read the board anyways.

But like everything else I'm sure this thread is my fault ;)

No No, That was the apology, not the fight... I guess I wasn't the only one confused.

Funny she knows nothing of my drug habits, I don't do drugs every day, she takes acid while she's pregnant...And I have the problem.

And NO it's NOT mine

Thank God

Yur love?
WOW I'd hate to be your HATE
(just for you screwhead)
she'd never post the 19 pages anyways...way too crazy, I'm sure she's not even re-read it

I was done

It's okay...she found someone to FUCK..she doesn't need to fight with me anymore ;)

Poor guy probably has no clue of the drama and shit coming his way

WTV :P
I think she just needed the cool points ;)

I haven't been to any of the hotels but the 2 on Boulevard Cure Labelle aren't in mtl, they're off the island in laval, thus far from downtown. the hotel du manoir is downtown.

Better and better every day.

We'll do the sun dance ;P

Tomorrow...

It's official...I'm going to Space. Now I just need a ride for me and my dog, and maybe a friend, Thursday or Friday. PM me.

Hmm, all those Elite promoters that lost a lot of money to bring us a FREE party, and besides Quebec, Ottawa, Toronto, and Italy all the dj's came from Mtl.
Anyhow... It was amazing rocking the dance floor en famille
A great party that reminded me of ALL the reasons I love Montreal.
Props to EVERYONE
Keep it real.

Sources?

Ginger, garlic and ginseng boiled for 45 minutes, serve with honey.

Or spit in the street, that's legal

I think the law was maybe passed back when we threw the shit out the window, back when bodily fluids posed a bigger health risk...or maybe when chewing tobacco was "In"

It's not that ridiculous of a law, your suppose to spit in the street, imagine if everyone spit everywhere?

5 Steps for a girl to get a free bike;

1) walk around downtown with a big guy
2) wait for crackhead to offer bike for $20
3) ask him to get off the bike so you can see it
4) Make a big fuss about it being your bike
5) Guy makes menacing gestures, crackhead runs away

Learn something new every day.

Time to virtually shit in my virtual pants at your virtual threats.

Oh no...you wouldn't dare post those photo's of me...lol

Hey, lets form a small click of people who've been on [ rave.ca ] for a long time?
Lets insult and threaten to beat up anyone new, different or anyone we don't like.
Then when the "scene" starts dying we can blame the drugs.
Must be the drugs ! ! !

SSDD

I was trying to get the list with-out asking.
Can I see the list?
Can I see the list?

Thanks [ rave.ca ] geniuses that out class mensa idiots
Taking notes

We should write a letter to mensa, I remember questions like this.
They'd have a better answer than either of us.
