Konichiwa! My name is Sloane, I am 23, and I'm from a little town I seem to struggle getting out of my whole life called Layton, in the state of Utah. Not to shabby of place, depending on what your into, the social groups you associate with, and if you don't mind the sounds of jets flying over your head threw out the day from the air force bass right next to it.
In all honesty, growing up wasn't the best in my opinion. Didn't have to many friends, didn't really like it here never really got to go out and explore, butted heads with the family, and I dare say that I even had hate for the world, cause it eventually lead to me hating myself.
I've got my issues just like anyone else, and for a long time there I let them engulf my life in negativity. In my teen years I started using drugs, and I would go to become an addict. I didn't think much of it because I thought I now had friends, but for the most part, that was never really true.
I dropped out of high school and decided to sell drugs, and at the same time though because of these "Spiritual experiences" I was having from using psychedelics, I saw a better, brighter person in me and I wanted to be him. With it being such a new change to me, I didn't have the experience or knowledge necessary to be a good person, without others seeing it as a weakness and to walk all over you. It was slowly taking me back to an even worse state then I was before My fault for expressing that kind heartedness to unhealthy social circles and not those that would have genuinely been grateful, but I at least started gaining said knowledge and experience.
I did get in trouble with the law as a result of these choices and actions, and though I understand they are entirely my fault, this was influence by the love I thought I felt in a few intimate relationships I was in, resulting with me going to jail and prison. In them I did realize my feelings for them where true, but It wasn't until after everything that I finally excepted what I knew deep down from the beginning that it was never real, and that I just wanted what I struggled with my whole life: love and acceptance. genuine love and acceptance. It helped to realize that if I want it, I need to give it to myself, I need to give it back to others, and that giving it to those who cant do those, wont do it for you and you're gonna get yourself hurt.
Conveniently though, as if it where all met to happen how and when it did, I did stumble across the rave scene at some point during all this. I've always listened to EDM growing up, just had no Idea there was a whole life style choice built around it. when I did discover it, it was when I was still using heavily in my teens, so I had originally sought it out as a way to get high and enjoy the music, lights, and the vibe. over time I realized, that its not about the drugs. its about freedom, expression, love and compassion, all while having fun and enjoying great music and beautiful lights. the rave scene is exactly what I was looking for my whole life.
I don't own those pictures, I found them online. I can never seem to get good pictures taken, but they help to get my point across: the rave scene was created for the sake of an acronym used in it: P.L.U.R. ( Peace, Love, Unity, Respect) its actually spelled P.L.U.R.R. but I will get into that at later on. the love and acceptance I feel at raves is beyond any high a drug can give. its an energy and values I truly believe and know to exist. this scene has saved many lives or turning them around for the better. including my friend who introduced me to Steemit, . we actually had the honor of meeting last weekend matter of fact and it was a great feeling to finally meet this beautiful human being, and for me to blow his mind? Care to know how I did it? same way I do with everyone else, the way I rage, and the way I hold myself: like a ninja!
Before I go into further detail on that, let me start by saying, that I LOOOOOVE ninja. Always have. and the utmost respect for the Japanese culture, and I greatly admire the cod of honor the samurai lived by. I think it is all so beautiful and deep. And even though the ninja (shinobu) were not samurai, and operated quite differently then them, who stood with pride and proudly yelled his name when running into battle, thought not much is actually known about the ninja and there is much misleading mainstream history, (some) ninja did also live by honor, only operating in shadows and tactics that where not seem as honorable, but where necessary for a greater good, say such as victory, or the safety of others.
I grew up watching anime like Dragonball Z, Bleech, Naruto, and Avatar: the last airbender. I also grew up loving Starwars, and the reason being is because I love the concepts and morals they had in them. Theres many to choose from but I'm gonna focus on the finding/maintaining balance and fighting for the sake of protecting others.
Back to why I blow peoples minds, the level of energy I produce, is immense, when I rage, my level is over 9000 lol. And I always do so dressed like.., you guessed it: a ninja. I've had whole circles made around me where I unleash my "rage-jutsu" and when I do, I've influenced others to really wanna feel themselves and the energy and want to go hard with me. actually told me he stopped what he was doing entirely to write down what he was observing, which I recalled him writing, but I had no idea it was about me. he told me how he noticed how I just brought smiles onto everyone's faces and it made me feel really good! Others have told me how my energy alone amplifies who energy all around us and that one quality most like about me is that I just be myself and don't worry about the opinion's of others on me.
Ive always had lost of energy for as long as I can remember, as well as other "abilities" as well. a killer gut instinct, ability to move quick and smoothly threw crowds of people, pretty good at picking up on energies and vibes, crazy cat like reflexes, as well as getting a pretty good feel of how someone is, or what there intentions are. all of these have gotten better as I've gotten older, and its all had to do with knowledge and experience, and from it, allowing me to hone in better, and even more so with practice.
Knowing I'm capable of these things, I began to think "why not utilize these ninja abilities for something worth it? The sake of others. and what better then those who live life by PLUR. genuinely good people who come to raves, or as I reefer to as, "Dojos" to have fun, loose stress, feel themselves, and have the right to feel safe doing so. That, combined with the experiences of my past, leading up to where I am now, having changed in my life in a brighter way and future, and gaining such understanding, influenced my decision to create: The Kaos Klan.
The Kaos Klan (don't let the spelling or the name throw you off, there is reason for it) is a modern day ninja clan I'm creating, with it's foundation being based in the rave scene. It formed around my philosophy on the true nature of chaos and how one can utilize it as a means for creation or balance rather then it being a force of destruction. I call it "Khaotics" That symbol is my own variation of the symbol of chaos. It's my clans emblem. It is called the 'Khao-Keyn" (K-o-ken) and I am the leader/ creator of it: The Khaosa
The purpose is serves is to protect the values and meaning of PLUR as well as those who come seeking to be free and enjoy, from all and any who come with negative intent, or cause problems in any way shape or sort, through the understand of chaos, so that one may do so from humble, understanding, and neutral position. Now, this goes for anyone: ravers, staff, artist, everybody is capable of harming what the rave scene and PLUR. A prime example, is a dubstep artist, who I use to look up too as an idol, and even once called grandmaster when he started using the ninja theme: Datsik.
He had accusations made against him for drugging and raping women on his tours, in my eyes, if you make the music, you are the primary person who should set the example of keeping it PLUR. And actions like those, that take away the freedoms of others, is dishonorable. And what's worse is that there is still no news on him having charges pressed against him or being taken into custody. He has however, lost his career. what makes this situation worse, is that one of the victims even came out and admitted they were lying, which is also not keeping it PLUR. While I'm on it, I'm sure security or staff at his shows either have committed actions that weather related or unrelated, where not done by keeping it PLUR. which concludes my point I made about my clans purpose. To protect PLUR and those living it from ANYONE who brings harm.
Now, I know its not possible to stop everything from happening, and that this in a way sounds like I'm imposing a position of power and could even very well contradict myself in a since from the things I'm seeking to achieve, the thing that makes this nit be that, is that code of honor. The being a neutral party. taking no sides, being about PLUR and having fun with everyone else. Understanding the necessity for light and dark, but not allowing for evil to flourish in the dojo. Just like how I i use to rave just to get high, even doing that feed into the negative.
Which is where I'll bring PLURR back up. This is how it was originally spelled when it all first started. It not well known, and its fading out. but i plan to bring it back in my coming up as a DJ myself, and rise as the new Grandmaster/ninja, not just of dubstep, but of all EDM. PLURR means Peace, Love, Unity, Respect....Responsibly. We all, as human beings everywhere, have a responsibility. To love and accept love others the way we want to be. It's not an easy task, and it takes time, but it also take your own personal decision to be a better person so that you can become wise and understanding in a way that brings creation rather then destruction.
I personally no longer believe in good or bad or right or wrong. only balance. Things are not as separate as they seem, everything is connected as one. In my philosophy which i plan to share in post in the future, Ill explain how though yo cant take control of very much in life, that by accepting it and allowing it, you gain control, and that we as a whole can shift the tides. And that's what I'm aiming to do with my ninja clan, my music, my philosophy, and much more.
I'm new to Steemit and things like dicord, so apologize in advance, for a little bit it will be slow for me to post, as I am working on my other projects as well, but bare with me! Thank for reading my first ever article! i hope you enjoyed it!
Keep it PLURR. and may you rage with honor!
