      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. As soon as we started repeating states the original vision was compromised by LEO$

      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 lived with a group of rainbows in upstate New York when I was younger they ended up dosing me without my consent. Still have PTSD to this day from what these people did. 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. The devil masquerades as a angel of light. The family of living light is exactly that. An illusion do not be fooled

But once inside almost as confusing. no one in charge. but still lots of fun.. the music was great. very much like my days shooting GreatulDead concerts. in fact I was the last one to film Jerry before he died.

    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!

      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.

    So much light there has to be seen for people around the world and even for those who missed the gathering

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  10 років тому +1

      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!

      Gabriel Traveler Why should anyone be against filming at the gathering?
      And it's not their cal either.
      You have the right to film in a public place!!!
      Cameras are great because they are promoting transparency in all areas of life. If someone doesn't like it, they should go home and hide in a corner somewhere in their house. :0)

    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.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  9 років тому +2

      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.

    • @laurajohnson566
      @laurajohnson566 9 років тому

      Gabriel Traveler Hey, I wouldn't presume to tell you what to do! Call it whatever you wish. I disagree, but then I'm no authority lol. I appreciate being able to catch glimpses of this gathering, especially because I was not there, and I am not objecting to the content of your video, but the comments about those few people's preference or wish to not be filmed.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos

    • @laurajohnson566

      That is a common misconception, Rainbow gatherings are not "drug festivals" ;) Law enforcement is more likely to use non-lethal weapons, violence is vehemently discouraged by gatherers, rather peaceful resolution is encouraged

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  9 років тому +1

      Sleeping Muse True, and there are very few altercations with law enforcement inside the gathering. I actually saw a cop at this gathering playing a guitar for some of the rainbow folks. However, I also saw a sister getting dragged away by the cops, for drugs I later heard, so shit does happen. All this time I've wondered what happened to her, if she went to jail and for how long.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  9 років тому

      psychicringnetwork The annual U.S. gathering is held once a year at the same time, early July. However there are other gatherings happening worldwide, including smaller regional ones in the U.S. The regional ones are a bit more hit-or-miss. They can be great as well, smaller and more intimate, or else sometimes aren't as well organized and focused. Only problem is there isn't really one website, that I know of anyway, where you can see all the different gatherings that might be happening. So you can just search around and see what you come across. There's a link in the info section right below the video to the main U.S. website with lots of information.

Not the most organized group of people. The main US gathering will happen in early July as usual, but I'm not sure where.
