    Rainbow: open source, interactive role modeling. Unity, spititual mecca, saint training ground, saviour manger, the premier location to savor what's meager. Nationals is the salve, acceptance, suture, balance sanitation, love, sanctuary, shelter, spaceship, time machine, cosmic tuning fork, high frequency generating, low frequency modulating, spectrums demonstrably manifesting, safe space holdings, totem uncasing, vibrations unceasing, increasing, circumhorizon arcing, home made rainbows arching from the canopy, photons rapidly arriving perfectly timed and in divine quantity to gently and brutally support all life. Photons broadcast reruns of static at the waters of the Atlantic, long before the oceans were established, experimental origins, essentially teased proto-proteins from stone soup brewing in primordial cauldrons, stewing on the mantle, conveniently located coastal tilt skillets, steam jacket kettles, induction burners hard wired to inductive fault lines. This new batch brings magic, photons prizmatically spring from tall hearty grasses of the foothills at St. Helens. Naked siblings dancing within the end or beginning of an actual circumhorizon arc rainbow at 5k ft. elevation. This planet is a space station. When I was younger I fancied myself a starship captain. Seemingly inexhaustible youthful vigor fuels juvenile arrogance. grew like a weed in paradise till it became a paradox when autumnal metabolic deceleration developed seed at the end of that stalk, weed becomes bait and feed for a flying dirt factory. the stork, nursery, vitamins, minerals and energy, and a pioneer's destiny. Everytime a plant feeds a bird, a seed gets its wings and a gold star for good composting. Go to nationals. Be kind. Plug in. Pro-tip #1 if your dog doesn't act like a good human consider finding them a sitter. Pro-tip #2 dont bring anything. Bring weed, a sleeping bag and a pillow, bliss ware (long rectangular Tupperware with a lock on lid and multiple compartments, a separate soup canister with locking lid, coffee thermos, gallon plastic water jug, leave your nalgene in the car, its heavy, it's expensive, it's too small, you'll want to throw it away by the end, use it for soup instead, and never take hot running water for granted, dont take soap for granted, dont take folgers coffee for granted, dont take refrigeration for granted. Do bring several thin flexible disposable cutting boards, they make great tables, seats, plates, trays, cutting boards, clean room, you name it.) Expert-tip; fill your car with trash at the end, find a neighborhood far away from the gathering and top off their trashcans the morning before they get emptied. Loving you.

    The first gatherings there was a silence for one hour and then a prayer for peace. Some govt infiltrators changed it to silence all day on 4th so we would not communicate. We used to have everyone in world fo it at same time. When we set this up again at second AZ national i as Grandmother was agreed with in council and they changed it as soon as i left to help with kids. The men took over calling themselves high holy elders but they had no respect for grandmothers or their own words. I saw the downfall if America in mini mode at these gatherings.

    The kingdom of heaven has come near to you. I think I elevated above everyone at one of the gatherings, because I was getting treated really badly, rudely and unfairly by way too many people over the course of many many days, by those who would preach words like love, peace, and harmony, but seemed to be giving off somewhat of the very most opposite of those things towards me. It's a complete trip, to experience the veil being removed. Hypocrites emerge as clear as day, from out of nowhere, people promoting peace love and happiness, being all about anger, resentment, and deflection. Immaturity waving a flag of maturity, but not living by it. Celebrating the idea of love and life, at the cost of being rude and mistreating another. Not caring enough to reflect, but just resorting to selfish tendencies and upsetness. It's a trip to experience people promoting health, and safety, towards others, but neglecting to give it to another. It's a trip to experience both groups of people attempting to justify their wrong doings, as if they are doing it the the right way. The right way of the world is not necessarily the right way of the kingdom of heaven. How high can one get on spiritualness in the world, a religious leader, or a hippie. Jesus Christ said you'd have to have your righteousness surpass the righteousness of the teachers of the law, if you're to enter into the kingdom of heaven. High spiritualness of the world is not welcomed in the kingdom of heaven. High spiritualness of heaven is. The difference mostly starts in forgiveness. A word, that if by reading it, makes you cringe, then you'll know it's what you need to work on. Forgive easily, mature, apologize easily, make amends.

I wasn't innocent but did a lot of free labor collecting fire wood and getting rid of trash and getting groceries in town on foot and carrying it all back for them. Not kind loving accepting people.

    To call it a festival is rather misleading. There is certainly a festive spirit present, but the word festival has a connotation to it that does not describe the happenings of a Rainbow Gathering. More diverse groups than hippies populate Rainbow Gatherings. To say people that don't wish to be filmed or photographed should go home and hide is a but ridiculous and narrow; there are many reasons for not wishing to be filmed. Also, it is good to let folks know that the Om-ing is a massive prayer for peace.

    Sleeping Muse I hear you, but I think it's still okay to call it a festival, especially since I also used the word "gathering". It gets the general point across. The Rainbow Gatherings are beyond words or description really. As for cameras, there were plenty of other people with cameras there and cameras are allowed (this was my 13th gathering). It's a little bit of a tricky issue because the vast majority of people don't care but a select few do. But you can't go around a huge crowd of people asking everyone if they're okay with being filmed. The way I see it, if someone asks me directly not to film them, I will honor that. Someone asked me to turn the camera off at a drum circle once and I did.

    Hi Gabriel, not sure if you read posts on your old videos but anyways, a few weeks ago I finished a book called "Naked in the Woods" by Margaret Grundstein, where she talks about her experiences in a hippie commune. Since then I've been reading about the 60''s, the whole hippie culture in the US and I recently came across these "rainbow gatherings". I'd never heard of them before (I'm not from the US). Then I came here to YT and did a search for it and ... lo and behold, this video was right on the first page. That's so awesome! I've been a subscriber of this channel for a few years now and it was really great to know that you made a video about this. Cool. Cheers!

    They were having one of these during a hunting season on a public hunting reserve. Needless to say I think the folks were a bit sketched out. Unfortunately I was the one hunting for doves while they're were nestled very far back inside the reserve but I found them as I was walking farther into the trees since I also had a squirrel permit. Super nice folks though.

    AMaeTV Your first one is the best after that they all get progressively less wonderful. I'm telling you when it's over and you go home, things aren't as good. You miss oppurtunities if you hadn't have gone. Most ppl are burnouts,umemployed bums,transient kids with no direction from broken homes, many have some mental trips and there is drug taking, but on the flip side there is some goodness to it as well. Proper responsible adults are the ones that carry the spirit and weight for a good gathering/experience or a lousy one. What ever you do when you go don't be lazy,work and help at the kitchens and setups it's much more fulfilling if you do.

    Wil Morris It doesn't matter man. That's just what happens when people walk on the ground. If you're going to harp on that, you might as well say people shouldn't be on the planet. It's a hell of a lot better than covering the ground with pavement and sidewalks. Nature is very resilient....to an extent. There's nothing wrong with the inevitable impacts of humans on the land. The problem is the manipulation of nature such as oil turned into plastics that never break down, nuclear waste, garbage swirling in the ocean, cutting down the forests, spraying chemicals, etc., etc. People walking around on the ground isn't the problem to be concerned about. Peace. :)

    Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I did see a few other people with cameras. I actually got reprimanded by a guy once while filming at a drum circle. I expected it might happen, so I just obliged and put the camera away, but then took it out sometime later. No harm done, and I figure others will enjoy seeing what it's all about. Definitely an awesome experience!

    Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video which was cool and still a long haired after all these years though with a changed heart and peace 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on KZread. 😀
