Church of Techno @nd th3 Pitfalls of the R@ve Scen3

With the rave scene there is beauty and there is some great suffering involved, in a scene that involves one sole key and that being music, in my time in the rave scene I met some very interesting people that wouldn’t do any sort of drug but what I fell into was a world rife with not only using one drug but a dozen and parties that consisted solely of dealers.

In a music scene that promotes drug use there will always be suffering of course, but essentially it is a greater reflection of society when you are stuck doing drugs when nobody else is looking. A truly free and open society would have decriminalized and legalized drug use long ago.

When people are doing massive amounts of drugs at a party and multiply it by ten parties and you have people that can only do drugs to listen to music, socialize and have sex etc. You meet them at a regular time and you don’t even recognize them.

People are so blitzed they can be depressed as hell one minute and then grinding with several muscle boys by the speakers the next. I never really got to see many pitfalls of the rave scene but these things take decades to notice.

What I mean is that you don’t notice the negative aspects of doing massive amounts of drugs until ten years later when you are arrested under the mental health act for having a fried brain, or you begin to realize that you are permafried or you have issues such as severe nausea for having inhaled quite a bit of  party drugs.

What you do notice is people constantly fiending for more drugs, gangs that take over the distribution, relationships torn apart because one person was just caught making out with several people while the other was getting water.

Truth is I have no idea where I would be without the rave scene, I tend to think I would have a regular job, not be nocturnal, not live with serious disabilities and worry about things like mortgages and a condo or something

But my path is my own, and I have to say if I had another go around, I would do it just not doing meth, shrooms, xtacy, GHB, coke, acid etc thousands of times. In reality my drug use started a few years before I was going to raves wandering around town on a hit of acid sorta deal, and when your brain is still developing at about age 13-15 and you are feeding it tons of stuff that flood the brain with various types of responses being dopamine, serotonin, synaptic function and misfire etc it either makes you into a bizarre sort of genius or you get totally permafried and can’t even really function in the most basic of forms in society.

But these things have been plaguing us since we found psychadellics as cave people hahaha so to point the finger at the rave scene solely would be a travesty because the music is one of very few that doesn’t program you endlessly with codes from the illuminati and to be able to forget your life for one night seems to be the greatest benefit.

However I remember staring out at thousands of people in an all loving all powerful scene and thinking how inherently lonely and broken I was, not knowing where I was going to go the next day, not knowing how I will afford the next party and keeping up with all the madness was tiring

Only now when I have retired from the scene am I able to reflect on all the strongpoints and pitfalls of it all, I am generally considered a raver still, being nocturnal and listening to tekno at least 6 hours a night and being happy all the time, truth is, I didn’t get to see many pitfalls of the rave scene, the scene took care of me, and forgave me when I made mistakes, it put me on a path of PLUR and put me on a path of techno and for that I am eternally grateful !

The Church of Techno and Rave Culture

Most religions would not even go near rave culture but imagine a virtual ministry that springs from one reverends adoration of rave culture and you have these very words you are reading.

From a Buddhist perspective rave culture would be an entertainment and also suffering because there is almost always some sort of drug use involved. Rave culture is almost seen as a gift from the divine due to the music being without words and perhaps even the beat has been playing since tribal times in some way or another.

Only in present society is staying up all night and partying vilified because it goes against the working ethic, for some they only realized their true soul through music and through meeting other people at all night parties.

And a paradox is what the EDM movement is, in my time of partying there was no EDM tag, it wasn’t as corporate, there were parties all over Vancouver island, Vancouver, Seattle etc and it was a time to forget the real world for a night.

In myself I saw a gradual decline in my social aspect as the parties went on, there was a party in particular that I went to, just after I got kicked out of my house, and did acid and just sat there totally fucked up for like 10 hours, but then there was also some very beautiful parties as well.

Truth is you got to see the real ugly in people, in oneself, at raves, fiending for more drugs, not being able to urinate, dancefloors slick with garbage.

Deep in my mind I was always searching for the little rave cutie I could call my own, and I searched and searched in vain and never found him at the raves, it was a super tiring escapade.

There was all types, from people that didn’t even smoke weed to people shooting heroin but essentially we were all there in a uniting force being the music. It was easy for ones ego to get carried away in I am with the deejay or I am VIP but essentially it helped me personally find a type of music that wasn’t going to enslave you with lyrics.

I don’t even know how many parties I went to, I can’t even fathom the amount of drugs I did, but one thing for sure is that the parties, the people, and the vibe changed me forever…opening doors in my soul that still to this day unite with the astral world and parallel worlds, but I have evolved into the type of raver that doesn’t go to parties, still the atmosphere of all those parties lives on with me, truth is I made many many mistakes in the rave scene, but I was able to learn from them and grow.

It took away my need to be social, all the drugs, and that is what I miss the most, almost robbed of me in the night, I used to have hundreds of friends and their drama to keep up with.

Essentially when you are up for the witching hours you fall victim to the darker energies but out of it all I was able to discover more about myself and lock in a time in my life where I was able to truly exist as Peace Love Unity & Respect

Most have moved on from these parties but for a select few they are learning about the world through these initiations into raver royalty. Now I rest as the only Virtual Ministry devoted to and represented by rave culture and I can see the seeds of Catholicism in its infantile stage.

Let me tell you, when you are the sole preacher of the Church of Techno on earth – it opens up your dreams and dream life into a whole other world, a world of ESP, A world of OOBE, A world where you are the ambassador of techno, and it is a very beautiful place.

Techno is very beautiful and so are you regardless if you like techno or not.

To anybody that has a mortgage, or credit card debt or student loan you feel helpless, you have no control but to send your money to the powers that be so that you can live another day without harassment from creditors

I have just recently become debt free and it is a blessing but not many can come into my situation it literally takes an act of god to be able to solve some peoples issues with money.

I think this is how they get most of us on board with the system is they just hand you that credit increase when it’s most opportune but they don’t tell you what the end result interest will be –if they did nobody would accept it haha

Well things are pretty fruitful on my end of the globe but I live in a very very insane world, people that only in a minor sense keep up with current events can see the race riots and ebola stuff going out of hand and I have to say the only things keeping me sane are my relative solitude, meditation, stability and love from my family.

Also I strongly believe at least two hours of tekno keeps the evil away and then imagine this, going straight into silence helps immensely in meditation

My book is tinkering along I am coming up with more sound ideas to market it in the coming months, and marketing it in the virtual world of second life where it was inspired has led me nowhere however I believe some of the skills of the virtual world have led me to have some transferrable skills that I use in real life including shaping the ego

Many will notice I have placed my manifesto back on the site, I did this for personal reasons, I believe it is who I am and has shaped who I have come to be, while I am not a person that believes in crime, or drug use anymore for example I believe strongly that some of the obscure events in my life have better shaped my character far better actually a million times better than any rich person will ever achieve

The manifesto is not me, currently. However it has some reflections artistically of where I have come from and how I can better serve people that flock to the Church of Techno looking for inspiration, advice and entertainment. I strongly believe that by suffering through adverse situations and being able to learn from them instead of burying them and feeling ashamed to talk about them only helps me be a better spiritual advisor and a better role model.

I have found great disgust in alternative cliques per se looking for intellect in abstract forms of the internet and have only found people that are and always will be unenlightened, distrusting, bigoted and hateful.

So I hope to attain to be an avenue where people can understand what it is like to grow up from an insane rave scene of the 1990’s clubkid scene and live through it without addiction or being thrown in jail because thankfully meditation found me when I was most suffering and the Buddha found me, personally and gave me a gift that is unfathomable –being able to unite to your mysterious self and a method of looking within, a method of relaxation and I swear I would have gone nuts by now because I have had aprox 4200 days in solitude and up at night currently since teenage hood

What most people miss with popular culture is that 99% of the situations, stories, songs, shows, movies, and scenarios are all contrived by initiated sellouts who basically will label anybody that opposes them a terrorist and we have so much illusion playing out now I have not tried to grasp it however I believe it strengthens your position in life to keep up with the illusion but we have many many people that are not striving for enlightenment or intellect

I believe once you start bettering yourself you start out on a path of love and forgiveness and are able to live life with dignity and class that even the higher ups currently cannot achieve

I feel strongly that through Vipassana and Buddhist practices I am able to achieve a sense of understanding/innerstanding that most can only achieve through multitudes of lives!

Care for yourself this holiday season, and tune out and meditate, you never know what transferrable skills you will learn from it.

DeerFace PeLT

Kindness and compassion should prevail always in all your dealings, especially online.

In the real world and online there is a mish mash of super nice people to really insane, and I met all types in the rave scene, I am fortunate enough now to be able to live the life of a forest monk, with some mega bonus’s like internet, my hair, holding money, eating after noon.

To tell you the truth I don’t know what kind of Buddhist monk I would be, being nocturnal and such, which is why I think thousands year old systems are bound to go through change, and I have adopted a sense of responsibility out here in my forest cabin, I have a lot to work for, finally I have a purpose.

Animals tend to follow me around, I could never care for one on my own, too expensive but they find me in partnership forming a family and union that is an unfathomable responsibility and tenderness that I hope some of my readers are going through right now or will in the future.

If I ever came into bucketloads of money, I think I would form a Church of Techno complex like the one listed below in the graphic where people could unite and party till sunrise, it would hold some Buddhist philosophy including a full range of activities from discourses to art to fun little meal times at all hours of the day, I think it would be great to host this type of place and make a religion out of techno because I think it is long overdue, the techno beats have been playing since Egyptian times non stop and beyond that.

The schedule would be in line with my own philosophy and I would be a guru in a sense but I would be careful not to turn it into a cult or commune per se but an all encompassing party place where people all over the world could come and party for a week out of every month.

Can’t forget the cat refuge lol

Techno kitties !!!

I have moved from really compacted urban environments into the superb rural life and I have to say that feeding 3 deer out your front door beats living in an apartment anytime haha

I think you really begin to understand your roots and have time to heal when you are out in the forest and things like the elements do their work to help heal you and help you progress, another reason why the thai forest tradition of Buddhism only lives in the forest.

However I can’t live without the internet and things are progressing insanely technologically and soon virtual worlds will have ocular head pieces and such that would be so awesome

In second life I am doing pretty well I have my ebook marketing platform, a psychic biz, an art gallery, a communal living space and online residual income from SL website it is so fun but they just announced they are making a new virtual world to run parallel to SL so that gives me some anxiety because I am so heavily invested in the virtual world, but I have made money so I am not too worried

I feel extra powerful since it’s been a couple years since I stopped smoking 420, it is not the right thing for my illness, and I can blow through like $60 of weed in a couple days, but it does have a selling factor being that amidst the paranoia you can really tune out distractions and focus on mind numbingly boring tasks for hours on end and you get pings that ring in your mind that you should do this or that essentially… epiphanies.

I won’t lie, I created all my art and wrote most of my books while high on the stuff, and I would consider smoking again if it was legalized, but just having to get it from a dealer and you never really know what you are smoking anyway so now I get to join the rest of society and alter my consciousness through alcohol lol and well I cheat I go through varying levels of meditation and astral travel so its all relative.

I found when I smoked weed I couldn’t dream and this was a big thing for me because I am a vivid ultimate reality dreamer and wholeheartedly believe that we exist on other realms concurrently along side this waking reality.

Anyways that’s my blurb for the night so hope you are all well on your corner of the globe.

PEACE LOVE UNITY AND RESPECT

My Name Is "Meth"

I destroy homes, I tear families apart, 
take your children, and that's just the start. 
I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold, 
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember I'm easily found,
I live all around you - in schools and in towns
I live with the rich; I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next door.

I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink.
In your child's closet, and even in the woods,
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.

I have many names, but there's one you know best,
I'm sure you've heard of me, my name is crystal meth.
My power is awesome; try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go,
But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.
When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie,
You do what you have to -- just to get high.

The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms, your lungs your nose.
You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad,
When you see their tears, you should feel sad.

But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
I turn people from God, and separate friends.

I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride,
I'll be with you always -- right by your side.
You'll give up everything - your family, your home,
Your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.

I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,
When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned - this is no game,
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.

I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind,
I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed,
The voices you'll hear, from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see,
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.
But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,
That you are mine, and we shall not part.

You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,
But you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen, many times you were told,
But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.

You could have said no, and just walked away,
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I'll be your master, you will be my slave,
I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.

Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.
I can bring you more misery than words can tell,
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.
