>> Shpongle and festivals like these make me depressed when i trip.  Dont ask why, im just weird...

Last time I tripped at a festival was with LSD.  Infected Mushroom was playing.  I was standing far back and to the side.  What I saw was an almost entirely spontaneous amalgam of temporarily differentiated varieties of matter, writhing and wrangling around like skeletons in a cauldron, completely entangled and entwined with temporarily differentiated varieties of loosely organized energy.  Twisted in this mess of tangled energy were hundreds of filaments of an especially disorganized kind of energy called consciousness, which was sufficiently vibrant to provide the basis for as well as drive the whole thing, but far too dim to manage it in a way that accomplished anything more than a burgeoning cacophony of bones, blood, bodies, and bass.  It was a bulging, boiling a mass of ignorance, suffering and death, constantly falling apart, peppered with thousands of microscopic instances of pleasure and bliss.

And none of that was even close to as horrifying as the sensation that what I was witnessing was more real, that it was the result of a veil being lifted from my awareness, and not a distortion being applied to it.

Needless to say that was the last time I took LSD at a music festival.

Infected Mushrooms and similar (Shpongle) makes me

Its something wannabe psychedelic over it, same with colorful rastaheads attending these sad festivals trying to carry on the psychedelic culture (LSD mainstream people started steering the sinking ship back in the 60's) without really having a clue what its about, IMO. Psychedelic commercialism/consumerism/capitalism is what i can best describe it as.

This is psychedelic music

This is because you're a heroin junkie if i recall correct, they usually think in the same lanes. Cant blame them i guess.

I don't have anything positive in my life.  I go to work for some shit job, i'm told by my co-workers i should go out and buy the latest thing i don't really need... I'm supposed to go out and consume MORE and and work to consume MORE... when in reality all of this consuming is destroying the very fabric we care for.  We need to be consuming LESS.

I don't think there is hope for MY future.  I might matter to my friends and family, but do they REALLY care about me???  Prolly not.  They care about me because of things i provide them emotionally and physically.  No one even stops to think i am a human, i'm a complex biochemical machine.  A marvel of nature... now im marginalized as just a name and picture on facebook.  I'm marginalized by my government as just a social security number in a computer.  That my life experiences are marginal, and the only life experiences that have value surround materialism.

I'm simply in a constant state of suffering with intervals of false happiness perpetuated by this idea that i will be happy if i keep consuming all this shit i don't actually need.  What i need is a loving relationship with family and friends.  People who care about me because of me... the same way i care about people because of who they are,  Fellow man.

I find western culture to be a bunch of arrogant assholes who claim they are so smart and innovative, yet destroy our home (nature) so they can have a bunch of toys they play with for a couple months and throw away, and ends up god knows where.  Maybe washed up on the shores of far away beaches so we can turn a blind eye to the problem at hand.  That our western culture is a cancer on not only humanity but to the entire world ecosystem.

I just wish people could take time away from their mindless 9-5 jobs and actually do something meaningful with their lives.  Explore questions for them selves instead of relying on other people to know it for them.  The more technology increases and people can do what they want instantly... the more i realize the true nature of my "friends" and "family."  Deep down they really don't give a shit about me, i'm just there to keep them company.  These are just my family and friends... let alone the general public, i'm just a consumer to possibly something to make money from to them.  Nothing more.  It's pathetic... and everyone is sitting by and watching it like "everything is okay."  Well everything is not okay.  We are selfish pieces of shit and nothing to be proud of.  There is this cultural notion of self congratulation that we can do this and do that... but we can't even do the most basic human desires... To actually care about people because they are apart of your community, and whats better for community is better for you.  But in this competitive capitalistic society where everyone is a competitor or a potential business partner, we no longer become what we are.  Gregarious primates sharing a life experience based on this giant mystery of the very nature of our biological being and the life around us.

We figure that fucking everything else over and not exercise, become obese, diabetes and heart disease with the most important part of the day as watching some television show that fills our minds with big steamy piles of shit... and IT'S OKAY!

It boggles my mind people don't even think twice about what they do, and figure "it's okay, it will all work out in the end."  Well guess what the end looks pretty fucking shitty... and it's too late to do anything about it.

The world is fine. Only psyche exists. These monoliths of greed and exploitation called cities are made of the most prized elements that shine and shimmer.

The only thing keeping things in an unfair political state is the psyche of man, which is rational and disconnected from the psyche of Nature. Underneath the rational, step-by-step, almost retarded modern mind is a system of true benevolence and support for mankind and its aims. Nature is a mind. If it appears violent or against you, seek your own motives and see it is reflecting your inner state.

Weak animals in herds are actually attacking the herd. The herd is innocent.

What's up with all this nature loving crap. Go live in a cave already you tree-hugging hippy!

Depression is seeing the world for what it truly is without seeing the exceptions or that you can be an exception. I mean, as simply put as you can put it, that's all it is. Just don't let the world reflect itself in you. That's what pushes you further into depression. It's hard to do though i know. I don't know if this helps or if it sounds like i'm talking out of my ass but whatever.
