I would have to look it up, but I believe Gordon Wasson, the father of introducing psilocybin to modern western society, was a banker.

Aldous Huxley, the author of "The Doors to Perception" was also not a hippy.

:::Pearcing the ignorant fumes of spoiled cigarettes::: As if somehow I am a completely different person from some strange world like babylon.

I'd like to think i'd like to escape for a while to find my own such spiritual path. But no!!! We have those mongoids of christians saying follow our path or else?.. Is it the dirt that gets to you? The fact that we don't constantly throw our noses down under our armpits? Is it Sinbad? Then so you are in fear of the earth. You walk above the earth as it no longer habitable.

Hard work out in the garden sure does bring a stench.

And to be a hippy one must first be stuck in a situation where people are feeding your minds with information that you do not trust. So you go on the path saying oh yeah sure that's right only to change your mind and look for a better route.

So if you believe i'm a hippy. You can go on your spiritual warrior path and destroy people who may be more enlightened then you are. Just because someone has more information, they'll bring power to themselves and hold it over others as greedy as you are. Why not share the information and bring new people to the light. Instead of saying, oh you have to go to church to recieve the light.

I'll go to no communistic church and i'll search on my own two feet in the sand of the ground before i find a path that is suitable to my own.

Peace and don't regret the things you ever do,
Droz

P.S. - Just relax, your ill temper is getting to you.
(Oh wait no I can't be wrong this guy is dirt, he must be destroyed)
Those power hungry immagrants have destroyed the land far more then it can be healed.

Peace,

yeah, actually I retract that--Timothy Leary was NOT a hippie by my definition of the word. he was a manipulative, creepy, delusional, megalomaniacal old burnout. IMO

Some people take the spiritual path very lightly.  They believe that tremendous spiritual progress can be made simply by taking a relaxed attitude toward life.  I'm sure most of us can at least agree with this.  Hippies, if we must use the blanket term, are correct in wishing not to have job, in that our culture is structured in a ridiculously stressful and laborious way which has the tendency to promote in people a sense of self-importance and aggression.  As is my understanding, it is "hip" philosophy to refuse participation in what's seen as a destructive enterprise.

What hippies don't understand is that as part of the community of life, having a job means contributing to other people's overall welfare, and that not having a job means detracting from it.  Simply because a society is dysfunctional does not mean that we need to segregate ourselves from it.  In fact, segregating one's self from society on the grounds that it is unsatisfactory is a pinnacle of selfish thinking.  That would appear to most people as being a hypocritical policy for self-conduct.

Another important point which I'm sure most of you are already aware is that having a job is not necessarily contrary to following a spiritual path.  In fact, sometimes it's participation in turbulent, fast-paced affairs which propels a person along their spiritual path.  Though you must admit, following a spiritual path of selflessness and community is very difficult when fully immersed in a soceity where selfishness and individuality reign supreme.  It is understandable, this wish to withdraw from a pain-filled society and work on creating something new, founded on new ideals.

Above all, I think it's best to focus on the fact that most of the people you have in mind, Sinbad, probably have the best intentions, but, like the rest of us, are simply misguided in how to achieve their goals.  I don't doubt the sincerity of a hippy when he or she says that they wish to contribute to a better world.  Sometimes it's not always easy to understand how to make that contribution, however, and it can be even more difficult to keep aware of one's own more subtle motivations.

Relax, man.  Give them a little credit.  You'll feel a lot better about the whole thing.  :smile:  :hippie:

I agree the word hippy is a general term, but im referring to the lazy, smelly, dope smoking, types.

"LSD swilling guys you see around these days are so hung up on theirselves, getting high, and staying dirty, that they ain't got time for righteous causes or high ideals."

These type of people are giving the real "hippies" a bad name. Im not being paranoid about them, they just waste space, and turn people off the idea of spirituality by promoting themselves as examples of spiritualy awakened persons.

The real Hippies have integrated into society, but still keep the priciples of love and peace in their hearts, i suppose in that sense i am also a hippy at heart.

But when you see those in this overpopulated society of faced paced working, you see seperateness. There is no selfishness for the fact they choose to run their society as individuals, instead of as a group. This society is built very very well and runs very well too. Each must put his own effort at creating something different for eachother and exchange in a good manor. As the economy will grow and culture will flourish.

Only on my part do i lack the funds to start a single business for i am looked at as being psychotic, these strange things that led me to climb in a tree i do not know what it was. It was some sort of spell perhaps by reading mckenna so indephtly that i found my way back to africa, where trading was a usual stance. It seems that this style government dates all the way back to the planes of africa. Even though some seem to run the elephant extinct by hunting it, it too will survive. If it does run out think of how expensive that ivory will become.

Peace for now until another idea arises,
Droz

Peace and love in the heart...yet no problem with calling others a "waste of space"?

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free.
But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

But why do you force the idea of being integrated into society?
What if a man decides to go into the wilderness, live in a cave and hunt rabbits or eat plants, why is that a poor choice compared to living in a city and having a car and a wife?

Peace and love does'nt require rose tinted glasses! Basically trendal wasting space is when somebody is becomming an obstacle to others progress e, and is not benefiting or doing anything helpful for others, only slefishley consuming, obstructing, and genreally wasting space.

At the same time as making this statement i can feel compassion for such people suck in these modes of existence.
