Can any experienced bros on /pol/ help me out with a question I have. Everyone that goes to music or "gathering" festivals always has these profound sounding realizations or self actualization experiences that they talk about. Love and Peace type of rantings... talk about close knit family groups of people that they spend time with. Am I missing something in life? Should I go to one of these festivals? Do they all do psychedelics or are some of these people dressing weird and dancing/camping out with strangers completely sober? Why are they all claiming to have their minds so opened? Can someone please help me understand this?

go and find out
It's all a thinly veiled excuse to do drugs while still maintaining an air of superiority.
sounds like they just did a bunch of acid, in which case that kinda talk is the normal
They find what they want to find, like every other stupid liberal fuck.
>"Free expression"
>"Peace and unity"
>"Open mind"
but don't deviate from being a stupid liberal fuck like the rest of the in-group, you're not welcome maaaan

You mean their assholes so opened, they're all faggots.
>>75623922
If you need to find yourself, you have a serious lack of spatial awareness, anon.
It's a party. It's the biggest most degenerate party on earth besides that eyes wide shut stuff the rich folks do but it's still a huge fucking party. If you're the kinda person that finds yourself at this kind of party then you're a degenerate. There are real ways to find yourself that involve things like hard work and discipline.
>>75624161
>>75624176
Fucking this. It's the drugs doing the talking.
It's the drugs that give them that feel
>>75624161
This, festivals are degenerate as fuck
>>75623922
wierd party degenerate here:
i regularly go to "festivals" and shit like burning man and regional burns and honestly, "everyone" to you are just your boring ass fucking normie facebook tools who do little more than clubbing or whatever on the norm, so the shit wierdos and artists create like burning man blows their fucking mind.
>>75623922
She probably fucked some strangers, did drugs and took selfies and wants validation for it on facebook, all dumb whores do this shit.
>>75623922
wtf ? just enjoy the music.
>>75624253
The irony of this whole thing is that 4chan is the embodiment of the "Equality" movement.
Okay so OP here... I understand what you guys are saying. So my question is about the "love and peace" thing... does that last a lifetime or is this just some side effects of doing the drugs? Sorry for being so ignorant.
Pretty sure it's just a drug festival. The epiphany these people get is because they get peace from thinking too much or too little.
>>75623922
They temporary live in an unsustainable period of wealth where nobody works, nobody is sick, nobody is hungry, there is no need elderly to care for ect. So of course all that peace and love stuff makes since while they are in that environment. But it is not possible in the v real world
>>75624438
Thanks for the response, can you expand on the validity or authenticity of the "love and peace" or "self actualization" these people are experiencing? Have you ever had some kind of awakening from going to a festival?
The only epiphany I got was fuck everyone, don't trust them, these drugs are too much, and I got to do my own thing to be happy
People doing mdma or coke bond over the drug use and while on the drugs. If you can't find peace and happiness straight then getting fucked up and partying isn't
Going to help. Try self reflection and spend some time alone really thinking about yourself and what your doing. If you can get what you think, feel and do in sync you'll be amazed at how happy and at peace you'll be
>>75623922
>Can someone please help me understand this?
Go to a couple of them. Find out.
Nobody can help you while you're wanking away behind your keyboard. Only you can determine this for yourself ... by getting out of the basement and going into the world and interacting with other human beings.
These gatherings are for you to go and do your own thing, whatever it is, and interact with other people doing their own thing. By definition, you are supposed to get outside of your comfort zone and figure out how to grow & survive there.
Drugs are strictly optional. Anyone telling you that you have to do them doesn't know what they're talking about and you should seek more reliable advice. If you want to do them, find people you can trust and enjoy the ride.
This isn't a destination. It's a journey.
One advice: if you're looking for a white pride sort of event, stay away. Assholes are pretty strictly discouraged from attending.
ITT shut in losers with lack of empathetic intelligence overlooking a mass consciousness events that drugs and music AID in achieving

Drugs can induce all kinds of things.
Delusions is a very common one.
>>75623922
I am really trying to go to Burning Man this year, but is it really worth it? Would appreciate anons who have been, I've only been to a few music festivals (most recently Euphoria Fest in Austin) and have really enjoyed them, at least until my roll came off that is. Would a degenerate like me really find happiness there?
>>75624487
the love and peace thing is these normies really only expanding upon their own inherent biases and ignorance. take it with a grain of salt. so yeah, its a side effect, especially if you are rolling on ecstasy at these festivals.
However, when you do insane amounts of drugs like, acid, 2cb/e/i, mda etc etc, it doesnt make you hippy. what it does, however is defrag your mind in a way, shake it up and allow you to see things in ways you typically take for granted or overlook. its more of a inward sort of experience, where your self awareness and sense of place in the world expands. Ego loss and all that.
so it does last a lifetime, but not in the way you assume it does (peace and love thing), you only learn what you care to, so if its your first experience, yeah, you are going to light up about everything and everything around you, but subsequent use often goes deeper and often heavier. You uncover shit about yourself for better or for worse.
idk
go get some trusted buds and try it out for yourself
Ya, they " found" themselves on shit loads of acid and ecstacy.
>>75624487
>about the "love and peace" thing
There is no such thing. People who go to festivals are the most elitest/exclusionary people out there. Good luck making friends with any of these people if you don't dress/act like them and are good looking.
>>75623922
I work as bi prostitute in Austria and make about 9 thousands € a month, so I don't really care about degeneracy. Team FPO and Navalny by the way! Burning man is awesome.
>>75625188
To be fair acid and ecstacy give you a pretty good head start on finding ones self
>>75623922
When you're as empty and degenerate as these people even farting seems like a transcending experience.
These people should be burned alive, have no shadow of doubt these retards are as empty as a human being can be.
>>75623922
I use to go to Bonnaroo every year, it was awesome.
>>75624643
not who you're talking to, and not specifically related to festivals per se, but i've had some profoundly introspective experiences on acid, in a variety of settings from by myself at home, to aimlessly wandering city streets, to dancing my legs off at a rave. it has this very distinctive way of turning your thoughts into overdrive, and it's very hard to control. that scares people sometimes, but it's vital to the experience. almost everyone has stuff they'd rather not think about, but any memory you've ever stored, including thoughts you've had about the past, present, future, alternate possibilities -- all of it is fair game. and at the same time you're churning out what feels like hundreds of novel thoughts per second, and you might seize on any one of these things to analyze until you feel you're done with it. so you will usually end up thinking very deeply at some point about your life, which most people really don't do on a regular basis.
that's the long and the short of it, really. you can have the same sort of realizations without chemical assistance, but it is uncommon for anyone to be able to focus their attention that honestly and critically on themself for that span of time, even if they wanted to. even if you did, you wouldn't have the sense of being so directly, fatefully confronted with these thoughts, the way you do on psychedelics.
i hope i answered your question, i tend to ramble when i talk about psychs
>>75625339
You should drink piss, bro. That shit really opens your mind.

however the fuck that happened, now GET OUT
>>75624643
i had my awakening in private, with friends, doing wierd shit. I started doing drugs socially at comic and fan conventions ahaha
but when i started doing music festivals and burns, i mostly just candy flipped (ecstasy + MDMA) for the seratonin fueled acid good times or get drunk or do ketamine. As a sort of enhancement of a bizarre experience im bound to have either way
but yeah, the AWAKENING THING is just a normies first experience on drugs, its mostly just adorable and whatever.
>>75625097
are you going alone or with friends? are you prepared? the environment is fucking hell, but amazing. bring winter coats as well as alot of sunscreen. lol
>>75625447
>past, present, future possibilities
>like, far out man
This is how the mind of a degenerate junkie works.
Drugs are the direct opposite of wisdom, discipline, austerity and solemnity -- it's not even dark or romantic.
No further explanation is needed. Please kill yourself.
Ecstacy dumps a fuckload of dopamine into your system. Suddenly everyone is your "tribe" and your best friend and confidant. Ecstasy is done at music events. Ergo...
>>75625804
I just got back from a trip to Big Bend, so I'm used to surviving for a few days in the desert heat. I want to go with friends if possible, but everyone I know is going to EDC this summer. Frat bros don't make the best trip partners anyway, but it's going to suck if I can't get someone to come along. Is going by myself really such a terrible idea?
>>75623922
Its just the ecstasy talking. I remember this shit from the rave scene and its a phase and fake. Now you do make some really great friends but there are also the scum and self-destructives and they are the vast majority.
No. These festivals are nothing but a place full of Antifa memebers, hipsters, faggots, and rich prep-hipsters. Also, they're essentially Satanic cults full of hedonism. Yes, a literal Satanic ritual. The same shit with Rainbow Road, and I don't mean the racetrack from Mario Kart.
You are missing something. You don't have to go to a festival, just spend a day out in the sun and do 2.5 grams of mushrooms or 2 hits of LSD and you'll understand.
>>75625660
>awakening
Yeah, I bet you realized how empty and vapid you fuckers are, in relation to people who toiled their life away trying to understand and explain human behavior like Jesus or Dostoyevsky did.
Kill yourself you subhuman junkie degenerate faggot, you're the literal scum of society and the only reason you're tolerated is because society is completely fucked up beyond all recognition.
I've done loads of drugs and never understood this "awakening" thing. Usually your mind just races and you think you have some deep thoughts and feelings, but in retrospect they're things which you normally have all the time.

No, but most do because it's fun and allows you to connect with people on an adventure of sorts.
You can find all kinds of crowds and kindred spirits at large festivals though
>>75625390
>implying there's nothing profound in a fart
think about a fart. we take it for granted, but it's a token of the relationship we have with our gut bacteria and with our food and water. on a more abstract level, it's symbolic of the way we consume the world around us, transform it, and return the product back to the world. we are always intaking, processing, outputting. air, water, food, yes, but also information. knowledge. music, art, utility, change. we can even extrapolate this concept to the world as a whole. consider the world as an organism that feeds off of what we put into it, the same way your gut bacteria feed off of what you put into your stomach. i could go on and on, and i'm stone sober right now.
you call yourself redpilled? learn to think REALLY critically and then tell me how insignificant you think a fart is. nothing is insignificant. even if one fart is indistinguishable from another, the CONCEPT of farts is absolutely vital to our existence. anyone who deals heavily in memes should already be well acquainted with these sorts of thoughts
>>75626333
There's some sick fetishism with hyping up psychedelic drugs as profound spiritual experiences; people just can't admit that they're just fucking drugs, fun times for a few hours and that's about it.
>>75625097
I've been going to festivals and raves for over a decade and I'm going to give you the most cliche but true advice
You can only find happiness within yourself anon, no place, event, or person can create that for you, if you aren't happy you need to change the way you live and how you perceive yourself
Drugs are only a temporary cheat code and let's be honest, the drugs make at least half the experience what it is
You should still go to Burning Man or Shambhala before they go full mainstream though, they're quickly being overrun by normies and faggots
I highly recommend everyone go to one of these festivals at least once. Take a handful of drugs and bliss out with people exactly like you who (at least temporarily) share the same peaceful values of cooperation, trust and understanding. It's an incredibly amazing feeling to be a human supported and cared for by other humans.
However, you can't live here. It's all temporary.
In the real world, wolves are ready to eat sheep like you. And they're ready to take complete advantage of you and your frail little friends.
Think of this little subculture as what heaven might be like. One day you'll get to go back, but you don't get to be a sheep forever. Go play in the pen but Remember you must fight and kill the wolves another day.

>>75625929
lmfao, well, edc is alright, im pretty much done with that myself. i can only tolerate being stuck in a shuttle or in traffic to and from the vegas speedway for 6 hours every evening and morning before i tire of the whole affair.
but yeah, burning man is pretty rad, and while you can do it alone, i seriously suggest getting a very good friend or two and doing it together. get on your bike, point in one direction, and ride until you find something cool. my group of friends got wasted drunk, decided to ride our bikes out to the far side of the whole event perimetre (which takes half an hour, given burning man is essentially a week long city of 40,000 people, pic related) and near the trash fence, which is the defacto boundary of the event space far, far away from the city itself - came across a ramshackle punk rock radio station and bar (broadvasting to the whole of black rock city) with a rickity single track wooden roller coaster beside it. a bunch of punks were thrashing around and insulting people who were showing up live on radio, including us.
most of burning man is like, independent themed bars giving out free booze and just, "radical self reliance". Not necessarily hippy, but certainly like, romping around in secondlife irl or something. thats the only comparison i could make lol
>>75626079
nah, i just do it to have a blast every now and then, otherwise im working in tv with a pretty decent pay, so

>>75626544
Bro. These festivals are still full of backstabbers. Double the backstabbing from the very same people you hung out with once they return home.
The people there will try to hide their STDs, the others will try to take your girl (red flags already before you even left) The people will try to cuck you, or cock block. The others will also try to take your supplies and give some bullshit hippie excuse like "Everything is free, man." Also, the place is very clique-like, with a hippie facade. If you're not some hippie-looking dick-ass who they find worthy enough, or I guess, not San Francisco-looking enough, they'll outcast you or use you.
Also, in these crowds, the white guys with dreadlocks are the worst types, and the epitome of the Devil. A liar, a con-artist, and a trickster. The only reason why you, or especially the girls like that guy is because he's loaded with drugs. Nothing is genuine around the dreadlock man.
>>75626759

I used to go to music festivals.
The whole "finding myself" is pretty much a meme. The only things they find themselves on is someone's dick. But all people that attend these events say that they had the greatest time while on these psychedelic drugs. Don't get me wrong, the people at these festivals are really nice people, you can make friends with anyone there.
However, I hate the Australian festival drug culture. It's all about "Yeah brah lets get fkn off chops cunt", it's annoying as fuck.
There's a difference. You can take drugs, party and be an absolute degenerate, or you can take these psychedelic drugs to actually explore, and see what reality really is.
Will I still attend festivals? Hell yeah. Not in Australia though, fuck our festivals. Even though I'm /fit/, I'm absolutely sick of the roid munchers at our festivals, they just go there to out alpha each other, and everything is overpriced and shit. So is the attitude of the crowd. EDC. Burning Man and a couple of others are on my list.
I'm actually going to the Electric Daisy Carnival in Vegas for the fourth year in a row in two weeks. It's a blast, though there's an absurd amount of left leaning ideology. Everyone is your best friend during those 3 nights, then you get to go back to hating each other. It's great, 10/10 highly recommend it.

It's just an excuse to get drunk, high and rub tiger balm on each other. It's a cesspool of degeneracy and there is absolutely no brotherhood involved. Nobody talks to anyone else after the festival is done.
Only good thing is you can get laid if you still haven't punched your v card. Other than nothing else. Join an adventure club or something else if it's brotherhood you are looking for

You wont find anything about yourself at something like this, you will only find more tests to see of how low you value yourself and your spirit

Lastly, I'm completely peanut butter and jealous you'll be at EDC. I'll be watching the live stream if there, have a sign that says /pol/
>>75623922
short answer : no
I've been to plenty of these festivals, not to Burning Man of course but I've heard it turned into San Fransisco Yuppie/Tech ville anyway
No, you will not fucking "find yourself". At best, you'll get really drunk, fuck some free love whore and luck out by not getting an STD.
At worst you get robbed, pass out, have people steal your shit, get an STD, overdose on drugs or alcohol etc
Its all just an excuse to be on uppers and talk to a bunch of other people on uppers, weeeew so enlightening

You're all a bunch of loser ass nerds that don't like fun because nobody likes you. Fuck these faggots OP if you love the music and have some friends to go with then go. You'll have a fun time and a cool experience.
>>75623922
They're just very high on drugs OP. take some shrooms with a few friends around a fire with some music going and you'll get the idea.
>>75623922
They mistaken frivolity and that initial politeness when you meet people, for something deeper.
Most of these idiots don't have a clue what loyalty, duty and honour means.
A fun festival where everyone is having a good time and where you can score good drugs will very easily give dumb cunts little epiphanies on life.
The mistake they make is thinking that their whole life should be like that. So naturally they won't shut the fuck up about it.
I've been to many big festivals, taken many drugs and had a wonderful time. But at the end of the day I came home and resumed reality.

The 'expanding consciousness' aspect is 100% bullshit. If you want to do drugs and listen to music then go to a festival, I've done it myself.
But don't delude yourself into thinking that it is in anyway improving your long term goals or giving you any real insights. Treat it as a way to let off steam like a vacation and maybe fuck some dumb hippies.

Club sluts are really hot.
Please post club sluts.
It's just a big party where everybody is cool usually, they are patrolled by cops that only take action against fights or fires so it's just a big wastefest where shitty people usually get bounced with minimum drama.
A lot of people who don't normally do psychedelics can find them there, that's why they're babbling shit about their mind being opened, they've knocked their doors off the hinges for the first time or the first time in a long time.
Some people are sober, yes. I have met many camps of sober people at these.
In my personal opinion, if you actually want to "find yourself" or achieve anything beyond being annoying in public through hallucinogenics, you should get a few gatorade bottles full of water and go into a dark room and lay down in the dark alone in a quiet building. A mat is best because you may sweat a lot, but a bed works fine.
Warning: This is not actually fun, it has nothing to do with fun. Dissembling your mental constructs can be highly distressing before it becomes gratifying.
And once it is done, consider how you made it through the experience, and understand that you possess the tool set to weather the entire world collapsing inwards into yourself, and you can surely use it to handle anything else that life throws your way.

The word 'tribe' has been my trigger ever since they started advertising every single fucking festival like that "join the tribe" and "bring your tribe", etc.
It's fucking disgusting, it doesn't even need to be a degenerate burning man orgy, even basic electronic music festivals or even normal stuff like fucking 'Rock in Rio'.
It's this new buzzword meant to evoke these images of a simpler, barbaric way of like where you go out to nowhere with no parental supervision or societal pressure, moral judgement or ethical standards of any sort, and just eat, smoke ganja and fuck everyone around you in a cesspit of animalistic indulgence.
It's such an incredible excess of hedonism packed into such a small, inconspicuous word, and all those little hippie shits in paint jumping around in their native american (we're in fucking portugal) headdresses and warpaint while lathering each other in food grease on the background of the commercial while the narrator says it...
#tribe is my fucking triggerword.
I'm done gathering rope, I need to put it to use already. Damn it OP fuck you and your post..

The only good mind-opening drug is LSD, but not just any LSD. 90% of LSD you can obtain is laced from the Feds. Getting REAL LSD is like going on some pilgrimage, reading some hidden message, and finding some hermit who's the last of the remaining few on earth who have pure LSD.
Unless you had personal ties with Steve Jobs, good luck obtaining it.

I'm curious about what you mean by the last suggestion (dark room, lay by yourself). Can you elaborate?

He's just talking about a makeshift Isolation Tank.
Not needed to meditate, but it's nice to be alone and just think about everything in life sometimes, that much is true.

That's what african-american tribes were like, though
Germanic, celtic or iberian tribes were much more rigid, having developed a structured society

Drugs like acid, shrooms, mdma (the ones most taken at festivals) cause euphoria and a sense of "connectedness" or they feel connected to everything and everyone around them. For up to 3 days after the drugs there is an after effect of this euphoria and feeling of connection and love and understanding. Ever gone to church camp in the summer? It was fun as fuck and you connected with God and thought you would stay this connected to him for a while? Then you came home and it wore off and you just cussed and masturbated all the same? Well it's like that but with drugs

That happened to a friend of mine. Wouldn't stop talking about how gay he was and wanted to suck dick. Ended up calling the cops on himself. He's in looney bin and I haven't seen or heard from him since

a euphoric laced lie bolstered by a swell of broken humanity trying to be acknowledged and given a blessing to engage in degeneracy.
The worst sort of filth gravitate towards these places. If you have low self awareness, then I doubt you'd even notice. But for me, i can't do it anymore. Trying to find some sort of humanity in craven drunkards is a draining task that can only be upheld with a facade. I feel like i'm seeing a small glimmer of what hell is

Yeah the worst is all the people looking for free shit. It's the dredges of society mixed in with college kids. Plus every girl there is a massive slut, my friends have all gotten wanked in the crowds during sets and such. This vine sums it up nicely

Also everyone there is just there to take Instagram pics and snapchats and brag and such. Hyperconnectivity has ruined being social with others. Glad you saw the lie anon

What do you mean looking for free shit?

>You should still go to Burning Man or Shambhala before they go full mainstream
Before? shit has been mainstream for at least 10 years.

>realizations or self actualization experiences
Degenerate. "Finding yourself" just means wanking your own ego.
There's nothing to find anyway. If you want to actually become someone, you have to work towards it.

let me translate that text to you:
"I always was a nihilist living a meaningless life, but after I went to this festival, I think I found meaning in life by being a pure hedonist that does drugs and fucks a lot"
>>75625447
nothing of it is actual coherent thought
it just chemicals messing with your brain
Festivals suck ass. You can use certain drugs (LSD, DMT etc.) to positive effect if you attempt to be introspective and look back on the experience as a reflection of your own ego. Trips are not necessarily bad when you factor them into your growth as a person, however just doing a bunch of drugs and looking back on the experience in the same way you experienced it is pointless.
I've candy flipped before (LSD+MDMA) and whilst under the effects its like pure happiness and joy. You wouldn't think it was even possible. Looking back though it was an empty and vapid experience that I couldn't possibly understand whilst sober. I didn't feel as if I grew on any level except through realizing how pointless and fleeting it was.
My experience with LSD was different. I've done it once without anything else whilst listening to music and ended up realizing how right wing most of my views really are and how much I idolize strong male figures.
At the end of the day if you do drugs/have an uplifting experience and post about it on social media you're probably an incredibly vapid person and your trip was just a trip; you haven't reflected on it and grew from it hence why you feel no vulnerability in declaring it.
