I have been to over 20 festivals in my life, & Oregon Eclipse 2017 was BY FAR the most incredible event I have ever experienced, & the eclipse itself was the most amazing occurrence I have ever witnessed. During the eclipse I felt spirit I have never felt before, and it was profound. It reminded me just how powerful the cosmic forces are that give us life and a home.
I received a message from the Sun, Moon, and Earth which was simply,
“I am bigger than you, f**k you, remember that”.
When I told this to my buddy, he said,
“...and don't forget their big brother, THE UNIVERSE!”
From that moment on I kept contemplating why the Earth hasn't exterminated us by now, and the only conclusion I can come to is that the Earth must love some of us a whole lot, to the point where she will remain sick for longer to give the one's she loves more time to heal her without destroying the human race entirely. There is only one solution, we must show the Earth more love, like it is showing us.
The Earth, Sun, and all the planets in the cosmos are living, breathing entities. Humans have made Earth sick, it is getting worse, and we are past the carbon tipping point. Humans have become a virus due to the various systems of waste, fear, and control. We have allowed this to go too far. Earth gives us a home and breathes us life in exchange for us giving back to her. Stop throwing away, don't support anyone who encourages excessive packaging - we need more people to give a shit. And trust me, when the Earth decides she's had enough, she will wipe us all out to heal herself. She is giving us a chance because she loves us, & our capacity for creation. We need the rest of humanity on the side of the Earth, WE DO LIVE HERE AFTER ALL.
I knew this festival was going to be amazing, simply because it was occurring during a full solar eclipse. But when I arrived and saw the amount of hard work, money, and love that was poured into this event, I was absolutely blown away. My only regret is that I didn't capture enough photos to actually do this event justice.
This event turned into a hippy city! The Feng Shui designed into the property layout and architecture of all the structures, the crazy lights & lasers, and all the talented musicians performing were breathtaking. There was everything from a vendor row that was almost 2 miles long to a REAL Delorean hovercraft that was giving people rides and towing rafts on the lake (unlike the fictional time machine version, this one actually hovered, video coming soon). There was a beach on the lake with 2 water-slides that I used regularly to cool off. They even drilled wells on the property so there could be clean water access spickets throughout the event for people to fill their cantines. I saw STS9, Papadosio, String Cheese, even Zion I showed up for a show!
Please enjoy these photos from some of our experiences during this festival. I will be doing a series of posts with videos from the gathering as well over the next couple of weeks, so please stay tuned into the right frequencies for those because I have some good ones, including a clip from the Sound Tribe Sector 9 show!
After days of searching for the guy who had the Oregon Elcipse Festival/Symbiosis lapel pins, I finally found him and was able to get the last 10 pins to give away to my friends at the festival. I kept one for myself of course.
I hope you have enjoyed my experiences I have shared here. As I said above, I have tons of videos from this event I will be posting in the coming days as well. AND PLEASE, DO ONE THING TO HELP THE EARTH TODAY, if nothing else. Mother Earth is here to take care of us, lets show her MORE LOVE NOW!
