Worlds Away

Where is the private intrest in we the people of tea party foundation.

Private intrest is the frustration of we the people.

We the people or private intrest, what are we going to do?

We the people of these united states, got here, to get away from foreign Interests.

The largest foreign intrest in the world is the one we the people got away from Romans.

Romans turned the Greek empire into herds.

and they only wrote the bible to make their family God.

Shouldn't we lock them all up until they don't believe that magic mirrors crap?

We Can Change the World

When we were young, it Was the greatest of times. We believed we would Change the world, But did we? If we look at the world Today, the answer most Surely must be no. We fell into a pattern so Many generations do. Trying to survive in the World, we forgot the Importance of sincerely Caring about each other. We eventually accepted Society’s self-centered Definition of success and Happiness, believing money, Material possessions, prestige, Would define our life’s True worth (Ego). It is not too late, though, To open our hearts and Selflessly share our Unconditional love With others (Spirit). If we do, we may still be Able to change the world, Leaving it a better place For our children and each Other, as we once, when we Were young and hopeful, Had hoped to do.

Hippie views on peace vs violence?

Okay so, most of my views align with those of hippies. I've considered myself a hippie for some time now. But I do have a question about one thing.

I'm all for peace and non-violence, but recently someone has brought up to me that peaceful protests won't work agaisnt "greedy soulless billionaires". And honestly I don't know how to respond to that. They kind of had a point. If someone is not open-minded about something, they won't accept it unless they open up their mind first. I've already learned that lesson from life. But then, how else do you do it if peaceful ways of protesting don't work out? I don't want to resort to violence. I don't think it's right. I think that sometimes it can be justified, but it's still not right.

Basically what I'm asking other hippies or like-minded people what they think about this? I mean what that person has said (peaceful protests won't work agaisnt greedy soulless billionaires). I'm honestly lost and don't know what to think.

What Happened to the Hippie Generation?

When we were young, we Were idealistic and going To change the world. We understood the meaning of Life was to share our love Selflessly with all others. Sex, drugs, and rock & Roll was our mantra. Life was Good. As we got older though, our Lives became more challenging. We had families, bills, and began To forget why we were born. Many of us began to accept Societies definition of success. Rather than selflessly focusing On what was best for everyone (Spirit), we began instead to Concentrate only on our Accomplishments and What was best for our Family and ourselves (Ego). Instead of sharing our love Freely without conditions with All others, as we once inherently Knew when we were young, Our job, amount of money we Made, material possessions and Other worldly things soon Defined our existence. As our generation begins to Enter the twilight of our Lives it is not time to just Reminisce about our youth. Instead, we must finish What we began so many Years ago, by spreading Unconditional love, peace, and Light around the world. We must leave our children A world in which they can Flourish; one where they can Share these idealistic Spiritual Values not only with their Children, but with each Other and all life on Our planet as well. We must not live in The past any longer. It is time for all of us to Rise and change the Direction of our world, As we once hoped to do. If we do not, our lives will Have been lived in vain, Without purpose or meaning, And we will leave our children An uninhabitable world of Fear, prejudice, and distrust.

When The Phoenix Spoke

I suppose I'm saved

Saved from melting

Rufied words not oozing

From my soul induced

Lethargy

This menial momentum

Of financial droll

Spoken word hiding

Plump with passion

In the hole

Of my rationed

Lifestyle

I'm soothed by needs met

All the laughter of starvation's pet

Fantasy

Me devoured by superstition

I no longer believe was ever helpful

Save for saving

My potential

Savoring cognitions

Of the life and the life

And the life of all

Now that I'm soaring

I cannot fall

Call to elder hippies

I'm a history buff and in college I became very interested in the cultural shift of the 60s and it's reverberations in present day. I'd love to correspond with elder hippies or anyone alive in the 60s and get their perspective and stories. Comment or dm me :)
