Thanks for putting this up. It caused me to look at the whole report. I was too young to be a hippie, though I do remember my cousins who lived in SF driving us through the Haight to "look at the hippies," when I was a kid. But I had to laugh that so many of the hairstyles -- so shocking then-- look conservative these days; at the description of The Grateful Dead as a heavy metal band; at the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic as an anomaly when we have so many of these organizations now. Also, although I was this age in the 1970s and at Berkeley in the late seventies, how much this social movement influenced and continues to influence California culture.

​@@ashxxiv that's a response built on fear and hearsay. In modern times there are actually many scientific studies around psychedelics. For instance it's been proven that one dose of psilocybin has been shown to reduce or remove drug resistant depression and anxiety in patients for 3 months sometimes longer. That's at least 3 months without symptoms or with reduced symptoms without having to take harmful pharmaceuticals every day.

[@creatingyourlifeconsciously]

Oh that can also be sad for people that have spiritual experiences like medium ship or intuition. I didn’t say psychic because psychic really isn’t a thing. Intuition definitely is being able to talk to and communicate with spirit whether they are angelic or a loved one that passed over or another being is absolutely real as well. But you can’t explain that or prove that to anybody unless they to have had that experience.

[@creatingyourlifeconsciously]

Oh this child is right God is everything or another way you could say it is God is the energy that creates all worlds. God is me God as you got us the trees the grass the dogs the cats the insects everything is God manifesting itself in infinite ways. We are all God having an individual experience. That’s why judging someone else or hating someone else even the most evil people is hating yourself because everything is one. There’s no separate energy. There is nothing that is not energy or God. So spirituality, in a nut shell, is knowing who you are. The “ I am” presence. The observer of all your thoughts, feelings and experiences. There’s no rules to follow. There’s no person to follow. There’s no right or wrong. Right and wrong is a mad main concept. Ego-based. There is no higher power greater than one self. It’s all one. So you can’t be separate from anything. You cannot separate yourself from God/energy/the universe or whatever people are comfortable calling it. We don’t even exist. We are. To exist means you stand out. You can never stand out from yourself. You just always are. A thought, exist. A feeling, exist. A table, exist. But you just are. The ever present I am. You are not your body. You don’t have the same body that you had when you were first born. You don’t have the body you had when you were 10. You have changed bodies many times. You are not your body. You are not your thoughts. Your thoughts are not permanent. You are not your feelings. Your feelings are not permanent they come and go. You are pure consciousness/pure awareness. We are all energy. There is no separate energy. All energy is one. We are energy having temporary experiences as an individual personality. I use the analogy of an ocean and a wave. Let’s say everything that is, is the ocean. A wave experience itself as an individual wave and then when it’s time is done, it returns to the ocean. It never left the ocean. It was never separate from the ocean. It just had a temporary experience as a wave. You are not your body. You don’t have the same body that you had when you were first born. You don’t have the body you as you had at 10, 20, etc. had when you were 10. You are not your body. You are not your thoughts. Your thoughts are not permanent. Your thoughts do not make you who you are. Your thoughts are simply an accumulation of experiences and the perception or judgements you formed around those experiences, saved into your brain which is similar to a hard drive. Although your perceptions and beliefs do manifest outwardly in your life. Everything external it is just a reflection of what you’re feeling/ believing inward, either consciously or unconsciously. You are not your feelings. Your feelings are not permanent they come and go. Energy is swirling all around us. Energy is us. Energy moves through us energy surrounds us. We are energy. Feelings are energy in your body. with that said, energy can get blocked in the body. You are pure consciousness/pure awareness. You are the observer of your thoughts and feelings. Now what you do with that information is entirely up to you. That is the very very short version of it. People that are religious have beliefs. People that knew who they are have a knowing. And experience. And telling them that what they know is not true is like telling them that their left hand isn’t there. I can see my left hand. I know it’s there. Edit to add that my comments have nothing to do with drugs. Sure psychedelics conserve these sorts of purposes entertaining a higher consciousness. But they are absolutely not needed to experience the things that I am talking about and to know yourself in the way I’m talking about. You can meditate and go deep into meditation to achieve higher consciousness and communication with higher consciousness. I am in no way advocating drug use

Eg. people not able to deal with certain things they weren't prepared for, believing it would be all fun and games while surpressed trauma in regards to lets say: sexual abuse from a relative came up and when they tried speaking about it, they were shunned forever by the family (/cult) for speaking of such "delusions" due to "taking drugs", mocked and guilt-tripped into severe depressions, shame and having no way to come to terms with said occurence whatsoever; nor having the money for an actually caring therapist to help make sense of it (instead of someone who studied psychology because "as a therapist, you'll always have a job", without any regard for further studies of their field beyond what they're taught institutionally; saying - well what have you learned by this? drugs are bad, mkay?). Also, the combination with other drugs, doing it while awake for several days and/or being in an environment of abusively toxic and dangerous people can cause harm. The whole thing with psychedelics, is that it can be as detremental, as positive: which all depends on knowing what you took, your trauma-history, pre-conditioning, as well as set, setting and intent. There might have been 0 active deaths caused by LSD, but do believe it: far too many have not been able to deal with certain things it brings forth from the "subconscious", even though they could have benefited from processing it with some sort of guidance: the lack of safe-spaces and a psychologically/psychedelically and trauma-informed culture might be the main cause of psychedelic-related deaths. Certain hallucinations can cause someone to want to make it stop: especially if trauma-related and without knowing how to or having someone trusted around, it is very plausible that some resort to taking their own, if not others' lives. Charles Manson used LSD to brainwash his young, impressionable followers to kill for his cause, fueled by hatred. The government allowed the C.I.A. to test LSD on manchurian candidates: psychiatric patients who weren't able to consent were given such high dosages they had hours and hours of bad trips (imagine the setting...), causing some of them to have life-long consequences and severe trauma, having been test-subjects for the state. Many more examples are there of how LSD actually did ruin lives, instead of help them. This goes for many medicines, if treated improperly. People shouldn't be too black & white about the subject; nuance is key to understanding. No demonizing, nor glorification. Both are too easy for discussing such complex matters. None-the-less, the experiences it has to offer are definitely gifts of sorts and ought to be healthily integrated in my opinion. Not something to chase like a dragon or to be treated without respect.

[@geraldbellamy8750]

Sadly I concur

[@luceatlux7087]

I find that it's the influence of specific types of individuals that makes it a drag for everyone. These specific types spread a particularly nasty contagion of influence very under the radar and it ripples outward from everyone it affects (or rather infects). The things above the radar and obvious are well-addressed. It's difficult to narrow down and peg for sure (esp because you want to be very tentative and careful about absolute designations here... everything can be relative). But, in general, my observations are that (apart from blatant criminals acting to harm others) these negative vectors tend to land most often as the uncompassionate, the ones who desire exalted ego (egocentric), the Machiavellian, and the quick-judgers of others (balanced thoughtful non-cynical judgment can be helpful.. Quick judgment of any non-criminal behavior is often very biased and not balanced well or accounted for in an open holistic context). But ike I said, it's all relative ad context based. It depends on the decided paramount values of the matrix/system. Is there a greater meaning to life? Is there a "soul?" etc. All kinds of things matter in pegging who is the root cause of the suck. But in any case, their influence ripples and there is a human cause. (I''ve heard it argued that it's about proper interpretation (ie, the "winner's" attitude and the positive interpretation of circumstances by each individual), etc. I admit this is important, but disagree in regards to its paramount significance and disagree about its ability to spin pure suffering into gold. For things not to suck, we must have SOME benevolent responsibility towards each other. Our happiness is inevitably, inextricably bound to one another (most of life's rewards are based on relativity and interaction with all parts played on some level... even the bum makes you feel proud not to be him and keps fire under the "burger-flippers" butts, etc (though I hate that kind of denegration of a person)). The closer in proximity, the more the effects of people in life are amplified and obvious. The shorthand illustration would be the person growing up in an environment where literally no good deed went unpunished/unexploited... Almost anyone would have to abandon altruistic benevolence just to survive in such a case (unless they isolated or found other likeminded individuals to let this way of perceiving things grow.))

@@ricdavid7476 You DEFINITELY aren't alone, downvoter (does that do anything whatsoever in this context? does anyone even SEE it?). Those traits represent a pretty large chunk. The way to mitigate things (for everyone's sake) would be to simply group all the individuals like this together (put them in closer proximity or vice versa to those who are most negatively influenced, either way --- perhaps at least give the option.. In fact, this would be interesting to try with a few personality types if each individual thought a more likeminded immediate matrix would benefit him/her and even raise economic output). It's not like a separation means people still couldn't work together from afar. But the close, daily vampyric influence would be minimized.

Acid is great in very mild doses (10-50 micrograms) at that dose with it without a tolerance it doesn't have the ability to really be scary for noobs. But it cured my PTSD and depression and anxiety. The first time I felt true happiness as an adult was ontop of the Ozark mountains tripping in the forest on the side of a mountain.

i actually think the mother was just as sensible and logical as the boy. it was a different time, people didn't know the things we now know about drugs and she was concerned for her child. it's clear that she isn't framing her child or others that use drugs as like demon worshipping heretics. she actually said at 4:55 that drug use/addiction should be considered a medical problem rather than a criminal one which is very empathetic and something that is still being advocated for today.

Not saying it should be avoided as I think it’s a fantastic tool. However it did mess up some people that I personally know. Perhaps they were predisposed to the illness or whatever, still it does cause psychosis.

[@gr33ny3te2]

​@@kiwi_renegadeI think it mostly has to do with ignorance about how the drug functions. It has such a low threshold dose, that people easily take way more than they should. You can overdose on Lsd, not a lethal dose, but a dose that can seriously overstimulate and cause a mental break for those who don't have the mental strength. It's best when you have someone who knows what they are doing and respects the substance. They can initiate you into the experience with love and awareness. It should be combined with both dealing with your mental health and working with spirituality. God put these plant substances here for a reason, proper use can bring people closer to him like the guy in the video. But humans will abuse whatever comes their way unfortunately, especially each other. We just need to be better than we were and make space for those who come next❤

@@jacksonrelaxin3425This is a uniquely stupid comment. Anyone can understand a mothers concerns over their child taking psychedelics or any type of drug. Infact, every sensible person agrees a child taking any drug without a doctors approval is dangerous. But the conclusion you drew from that is not one based on logic. You drew some dismissive generalizations, without being the slightest bit informed on what you’re discussing. There’s been a whole load of research in the last decade showing the benefits of Psilocybin and various psychedelics for healing trauma, overcoming addiction and years of depression and suicidal ideation, and overall increasing productivity in one’s life. Ketamine while used inappropriately by some, is best used in a professional setting as a dissociative. Helps patients think more introspectively while being adequately detached from the “self” or “ego”, since our own personal feelings can get in the way of growth. And don’t get me started on using cannabis as an effective painkiller safer than any opioid. Generalizing statements about people that use substances (especially without context) is so incredibly narrow minded. It can’t be enjoyable living your life in a dreary state of black and white, life is nuanced.

I suspect that the film makers cleverly manipulated a lot of viewers into concluding that. People don't get committed to a mental hospital just on the say so of their mother. This is an insult to American psychiatry. The questioner rolled in a straw man when he asked, "Aren't there some people who are dangerous?" Who doesn't regard tigers as both beautiful and dangerous. A better question would have been, "Is every sick person beautiful?... What about the cancer that caused him to become sick, is that beautiful? How about a rotting corpse?...If everything is beautiful, does "beautiful even mean anything?" The young man is saying exactly the same things as a born again Christian might be expected to.

This kid is completely rational, and the way he’s describing god being everywhere and in everything, not just in church or some ghost you see after death, would be a completely non-controversial thing for a religious person to say today.

[@fairygodbrotherr]

i agree, but just because it’s not as controversial doesn’t mean that the majority of society will receive it well. we still live in a culturally christian context that expects people to play a role and not color outside the line. the internet is not reflective of real life and coloring outside the lines online doesn’t translate to the physical. this statement would not be controversial, but behaving the way he behaves would still be considered taboo. you can have a psychotic attack in church, call it the holy ghost and that will be more accepted than a calm, intellectual person proclaiming that God is immanent. and in regards to God, most people still believe he is a man in the sky, not inherent within matter. people still prefer a fundamentalist few of God because the neoplatonist view would mean that that the narrative they operate with is a lie. So I doubt that people will receive this well, even if we are more secular today. We are secular, but we are for the most part culturally christian, whether we all believe in God or not.

[@skhotzim_bacon]

I agree with Lawrence; life should never devolve into a hedonistic free-for-all. While the hippie movement initially drew inspiration from noble ideals, they ultimately distorted and misapplied them to justify their own indulgent and irresponsible lifestyles. Despite being rooted in good philosophy, their actions often contradicted the very principles they claimed to uphold. It's essential to recognize the misinterpretation and misuse of Eastern philosophy by some members of the hippie movement. They failed to grasp the deeper meaning and instead embraced hedonism, which ultimately led to the movement's downfall. Additionally, their disrespectful behavior towards Vietnam veterans only further illustrates the misguided nature of their beliefs. Spitting on veterans and labeling them as 'baby killers' stands as a poignant example of how far removed they were from the principles of compassion, understanding, and respect.
