Dear Ma, Ed, Pin, Larry, ALL,

Orange trees 20 feet apart, or 6-10 feet apart for dwarf trees (genetically modified?:) ... smelling the fragrant blossoms in the spring :) ... What kind of smoke from 100 years ago? :) ... and regarding potentially moving back into a safe Canyon 94516 up on the ridge?

Navinchandra's 2 leases developed flexibly and are financially structured for me to explore moving back into a safe Canyon again soon on May 29 interestingly (re rent and cost questions here in safe house north of Berkeley).

Glad I got 'police protection' probably on Sunday 4/17/22 - and regarding my (father's subdural hematomas too???) And criminals mentally ill former landlords in Canyon.

Are you getting the law behind you Ma regarding your Cuttyhunk house and regarding Ed's picture, of he and his friend Peter, a lawyer, and regarding abolition too? There's an California Gig Law mention in the US federal government official Cecilia Rouse video with Stanford economics'Prof Mark Duggan ... And exploration of robots too conceptually in this blog post. 

(Thanks to Dagens Nyheter newspaper of record journalist Lina Lund in Sweden for this great Tweet ...)

See too blog post today and yesterday regarding not driving across the country to seek asylum which I could have departed for on Saturday April 30 22 ... 

Hoping this finds you all well:)

FOND REGARDS, SCOTT





Dear Larry, All,

Good to talk last night about so many aspects of WUaS Corporation and Work World University and School and potentially moving back into Canyon. Thanks for your encouragement not to wait, and to head into the district 7 California state senator's office in Orinda in person soon, and even regarding a possible directive from the district 7 California state senator's office regarding a possible 'Lock up' and 'salvage house process'. Navinchandra's helpful letters of agreement, after almost heading for asylum on the east coast or in Europe, are structured financially too interestingly, and flexible and am appreciating that he asked yesterday how the Canyon project advances - 

"Hello Mr. Scott,

Please keep me posted with any new developments in your Canyon project. I will be watering plants today.

Navin"

- and slightly new language for Navin, could this speculatively have been in communication with the district 7 California state senator's language? Could there be support - with the 1 month and 3 month structure of the 2 leases (and re financial structure too ... if I move in on May 29, I'd save June and July's per 2nd lease letter of agreement)  - for my seeking to move back into Canyon to 670a Ridgecrest by May 29?


Letter to... Before heading there ...

Dear Diana Ramirez Senator Steve Glazer and the district 7 California state senator's office in Orinda,

Lodgepole Pine & Meadows ~ Connectedness

July 7, 2008

Connectedness

Someone walks by as I'm writing this on my electronic organizer which can connect to the Internet, but not at 9000 feet in a remote National Forest - and asked me if I was "getting a signal?"


States of Consciousness

I talked with Beetha oustide the Early Birds' kitchen-camp. I was exploring the idea of accessing states of mind that psychedelic compounds offer access to, but without compounds.

He mentioned "controlled folly," that is, letting go, as well as "angel walk," as an exploration of positive affirmativeness, where people praise and affirm each other over extended periods of time. Right there at Early Birds' camp, I also talked with two young folks who trip a lot, to find out their thoughts about tripping naturally. One mentioned DSM extracted from Robitussin (an over-the-counter cough medicine), which gave him an experience of tripping in synch with a friend. The woman mentioned complexity as a way to access trippy states naturally, through music, for example, but other ways as well. She also mentioned a book by some French researchers, - Paulwell and Bergier "Magic of Egyptians." I'll look it up. I think I got the worm. Rainbow is a fascinating resource for this kind of anthropological research. Are psychedelic compounds kinds of technologies, that then offer access to novel kinds of information technologies - one's own ideas? Rainbow is an amazing source for perspectives on psychedelics, - technologies for the mind. (I'm only interested in these effects naturally).

When I asked Beetha about how he would access loving bliss naturally - a question I'm interested in - he observed that he saw drumming as a way for him and others to access loving bliss, as well as natural trips, and as a group. People can do this together - by coming in sync with one another through music, like drumming, which is a relatively accessible way to make music. Beetha also mentioned music and dancing as ways to do this.

Yes! - Ethnography of counterculture is a great lifetime project ...


Counterculture

Circle in the meadow is like what I imagine Indian festivals in India to be like. Food was served to us, as if to mendicants, with two rings of people - all hippies - facing each other, and 2-3 people bringing around a huge pot of food and serving us in our bliss-ware, our bowls and spoons, - ah, bliss, this food is good, and we're hungry.

Camps or kitchens at Rainbow are open to anyone coming in for food when it's served. When one camp stops serving food, another starts, but in a distributed way - intensely distributed - but organized very organically or loosely.

Technologies are adopted at Rainbow but very slowly. There are dish cleaning stations, which are three water containers for wash, rinse and bleach, with foot pedals, - very quaint, but effective. There was one solar generator for electricity for the Granola Funk
Theater (at Rainbow for 14 years). People use technologies of tents and camping gear, including solar showers, but apart from the one solar electrical system, there was no electricity so I didn't see one laptop computer. There were no vehicles powered by engines, or megaphones for group communication, and no sound amplifiers, even in the largest circles, so communications were curious. All this expressed to me a kind of back to the land hippie-vision, in sync with nature. I liked this gathering a lot. It was 1972 in many ways, except in date - how was it not? - but I also wondered where the creative developments in instantiations of hippie-mindedness are. Perhaps Harbin Hot Springs in northern California is an example of this. Rainbow is a partly a gathering where a lot of people take trips, - drugs are technologies of the mind here. I could imagine Beetha from NY as a kind of Carlos Casteneda-like teacher in these ways. At Rainbow there's a geography of countercultural memes, with freedom at its core.

Things emerge and happen in hippie ways here, - it's far out.


Rainbow is pretty harmonious and wondrous - a hippie life emerged around a couple of high mountain meadows and lodgepole pine forest over 4 weeks - and people tuned in, turned on and dropped out. From this connectedness, love emerged, - counterculturally. How did this happen?

In the 1960s and 70s, people gravitated pretty naturally and fulsomely to the the counterculture, partly in reaction to Babylon. The 60s were a very innovative time, as well as very attractive and sensible to many. Everything was questioned and explored creatively, and a counterculture with its own language emerged. This is still around, but not as widespread as then, and the Rainbow Gathering creates it again.

This black guy who has been cooking a lot at the Early Birds' camp says to people sleeping around its fire, - "Wake up - everybody's going home" :)

Welcome home.

Rainbow Gathering is free ~ "All Ways Free" is the banner on its news sheet. It doesn't cost anything. And so it brings out the salt of the earth, hobos, hippies, Ram Das, and everyone else - the human condition, America today - and it's harmonious. There might have been 10000 people attending .... Rainbow is wild.

This Rainbow Gathering was also very American - surprisingly to me - I only overheard one young British woman. There were very few folks from other countries that I saw.

And the food is free and good. Camps & kitchens make it in abundance. These are tucked around the meadows in the woods. And each camp is a budding culture itself. People gravitate toward them because of affinities they feel: "Crucual kitchen," "Early Birds' camp," "Popcorner," "Handicamp," Kiddie village," etc.

I see this Rainbow Gathering as a kind of people's action, a "Be in," - occupying a national forest for a month. And it just happens because of a shared vision. And some stragglers probably stay on my the summer.

Thanks to the 150 law enforcement from 2 different regions outside Pinedale, WY, for (mostly) staying away. The way to lessen their influence, someone observed at the Vision Circle on July 7, 2008, is to not hold a gathering on National Forest land or BLM from 2 - 3 years, and then their budget would dry up.

The shortest distance in to the meadows was about 1.5 miles from the gates or parking areas, so everybody carried a lot of stuff in for their own camps.

"Hey brother," "hey sister" were familiar greetings, as were "take it easy brother - loving you."

"We love you" was shouted a lot, by circles and individuals.

Body cleanliness questions at Rainbow are rewritten for a week vis-a-vis American culture here - everybody got dirty and dusty. Everything is seen a new in counterculture.

At the Vision Council on the last day, the feather was passed around a large circle of people and most everybody spoke.

Loving Ovens', a person, first choice for a site for the Rainbow Gathering next year is the Vince Lombardi parking lot along the Interstate in New Jersey. But many people talked about New Mexico, New England, and Washington State.

Fire!

Oranges: Social Psychology, Wilderness & Freedom, India


Rainbow & Social Psychology

July 5, 2008

Rainbow is wondrous! - especially in the way a sense of countercultural organization just emerges, as well as in the communitas and harmony here, while still remaining very loose. I can see easily this gathering as a social psychology experiment (Milgram, Zimbardo, Darley and Batson), only not designed by a researcher. People come into this national forest, set up a village / town, of possibly 10,000 people and 3 weeks later take it down, and people engage a specific situation and code, which include wilderness and hippie-mindedness, - it's uncannily like 1972 here! There's so much counterculture and exploration of freedom in so many ways. The social determinants are hippie, in contrast to the focus on obedience to authority that informs some social psychological experiments.


Yesterday I waited in the dust and dirt with perhaps 10 distinct circles of people, for dinner - a nice 7 course dinner. We had been asked to form circles to avoid creating lines. It was an example of poorly managed dinner process - with someone trying to cleverly mix things up in the name of sensibleness - a hippie cultivating confusion out of craziness.


Rainbow is another instance of a summer gathering, part of the human social condition. It's also a fascinating example of the grand carousel, the merry-go-round of life. What makes it fantastic is the vibe, the people from all walks of life, and the energy which is high and shared ~ counterculture rising.

People! ~ so many young people {20-25 year olds} - just understanding what is going on, finding release, and chilling.

Life is vibrant here in a very Rainbow way ... and there is no electricity, or electronics.

Because countercultural-mindedness offers opportunities for happiness, freedom and exploration which people like, people seem to select hipness en masse.


There are so many instances of whimsy and generosity, two aspects of hippie-mindedness I appreciate: out of nowhere, in the heat of the day, roll oranges to eat.


India

It's 'India' here at this gathering - in its connectedness, openness, tolerance, friendliness, harmoniousness - but in its own unique way.
