e-tarded Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Our emotional state of choice is Ecstasy. Our nourishment of choice is Love. Our addiction of choice is technology. Our religion of choice is music. Our currency of choice is knowledge. Our politics of choice is none. Our society of choice is utopian though we know it will never be.You may hate us. You may dismiss us. You may misunderstand us. You may be unaware of our existence. We can only hope you do not care to judge us, because we would never judge you. We are not criminals. We are not disillusioned. We are not drug addicts. We are not naive children. We are one massive, global, tribal village that transcends man-made law, physical geography, and time itself. We are The Massive. One Massive.We were first drawn by the sound. From far away, the thunderous, muffled, echoing beat was comparable to a mother's heart soothing a child in her womb of concrete, steel, and electrical wiring. We were drawn back into this womb, and there, in the heat, dampness, and darkness of it, we came to accept that we are all equal. Not only to the darkness, and to ourselves, but to the very music slamming into us and passing through our souls: we are all equal. And somewhere around 35Hz we could feel the hand of God at our backs, pushing us forward, pushing us to push ourselves to strengthen our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. Pushing us to turn to the person beside us to join hands and uplift them by sharing the uncontrollable joy we felt from creating this magical bubble that can, for one evening, protect us from the horrors, atrocities, and pollution of the outside world. It is in that very instant, with these initial realizations that each of us was truly born.We continue to pack our bodies into clubs, or warehouses, or buildings you've abandoned and left for naught, and we bring life to them for one night. Strong, throbbing, vibrant life in it's purest, most intense, mosthedonistic form. In these makeshift spaces, we seek to shed ourselves of the burden of uncertainty for a future you have been unable to stabilize and secure for us. We seek to relinquish our inhibitions, and free ourselvesfrom the shackles and restraints you've put on us for your own peace of mind. We seek to re-write the programming that you have tried to indoctrinate us with since the moment we were born. Programming that tells us to hate, that tells us to judge, that tells us to stuff ourselves into the nearest and most convenient pigeon hole possible. Programming that even tells us to climb ladders for you, jump through hoops, and run through mazes and on hamster wheels. Programming that tells us to eat from the shiny silver spoon you are trying to feed us with, instead of nourish ourselves with our own capable hands. Programming that tells us to close our minds, instead of open them.Until the sun rises to burn our eyes by revealing the distopian reality of a world you've created for us, we dance fiercely with our brothers and sisters in celebration of our life, of our culture, and of the values we believe in: Peace, Love, Freedom, Tolerance, Unity, Harmony, Expression, Responsibility and Respect.Our enemy of choice is ignorance. Our weapon of choice is information. Our crime of choice is breaking and challenging whatever laws you feel you need to put in place to stop us from celebrating our existence. But know that while you may shut down any given party, on any given night, in any given city, in any given country or continent on this beautiful planet, you can never shut down the entire party. You don't have access to that switch, no matter what you may think. The music will never stop. The heartbeat will never fade. The party will never end.I am a raver, and this is my manifesto.------------------~*P*L*U*R*~ Four Simple Words To Live By.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-tarded Posted August 10 Author Report Share Posted August 10 Just to clarify, I am not taken credit for writing this piece of work. Also I posted it cos I feel we all need to be reminded once in a while. Some people forget what its all about, and we need to constantly remember.------------------~*P*L*U*R*~ Four Simple Words To Live By....

JoelS Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 What about this:In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared, "Let there be HOUSE!"and house music was born."I am, you see, I amthe creator, and this is my house!And, in my house there is ONLY house music.But, I am not so selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and OUR house music!"And, you see, no one man owns house because house music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you're deep into the vibe of house.House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body.And, as I told you before, this is our house and our house music.And in every house, you understand, there is a keeper.And, in this house, the keeper is Jack.Now some of you who might wonder, "Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?"Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body!Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake.Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm. Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body. Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers together under one house.You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile. It don't make a difference in OUR House.And this is fresh.(House head manifesto ?)Your ravers manifesto is beautiful.Plur,Joël S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
