That's so sweet, we say 'your grandmar's prayers are working for you' here in Brasil 💛

@@carolitoffana oh really? Wow. There's many similarities between Brazil and Yorùbá land. In Yorùbá land, the expression is actually, "orí ìyá ẹ", or "your mother's orí". The "orí" is the Yorùbá word for the head. It's also the metaphysical force that every human is thought to have in their head, which governs their path in life. Sort of like the "Chi" in eastern Asian philosophies.

This guy and his buddy made a great call. They are feeling good this year.

Alright, it's not that deep. It rained hard for 6 hours. Let's not invoke our ancestors here.

Yeah - but the same could be said for all of us. Even your comment about "how above it" you are... even Aubrey isn't immune as he has to shit on something just to promote his own party. Where is the positvity? Where is the enlightenment and laughter at the flaws? Don't be so hypocritical.

@@saystheteddIn the end, the New-age movement gives you that is all a counterfeit of real spirituality, Yeshua is the only real way! ⭐️☝️🏼

It’s a fad, something gen-z vanlife trustifarians can post about on their social media pages. It’s a caricature, just like most attendees.

The egotistical and insecure cannot handle real energy and people, they become insecure and compare themselves and become aggressive and competitive.

Do you consider yourself egoless and demonless? It's a literal contradiction.

It’s still quite alive my man. It’s whatever you bring to it.

My journey at the burn roughly paralleled this. At some point you look around and think 'why the f should I be out here' it's no longer an alternate universe, it's just an extension of the default world with costumes, dust and networked cell phones.

@@tlxreed yep, once that “new car” smell wears off..it’s just another car..lol

I love all the trash they leave behind.

I was there in '04 and '07. After it got bigger than 50,000 I lost interest. And I live near to it in Reno. But maybe 1 more one of these years. I should go up to the Black rock when nobody's there.

same with drugs…

@xeropunt5749 💯

Totally Disagree. 90% of the people go to be "cool" and have ZERO understanding of spirituality.

That was my issue with it. Having traveled Europe before I ever went to BM what they call art left much to be desired, like skill and talent. I saw a lot of wannabe art and a lot of junk. There were SOME awesome pieces, Bliss Dance and the Neverwas Haul were pretty good. But a lot of it was junk that was going to be left behind or dumper in the dumpsters all around Reno, rest areas or the side of the road. It's a mess.

Or a trip to your moms bedroom then a cigarette and a Denver omelette for me!

@@edmundomouet sinning is not God's work, and Jesus "hung out" with sinners to teach them His ways and to encourage them to repent & change their ways. Those that didn't, He rebuked and then cast them aside. Yall forget that part though.

@@michaeldale4804 ??? Regardless it sounds better than it is now

No one promotes their brand, plenary of people don’t hook up and the bodies of participants is a BROAD spectrum. You haven’t been there, I wouldn’t speak much on it if I were you cause you just don’t know. You’re a 3rd party to an 81 year old.

Damn he was right , it says heavy rain is gonna be heading over them for the next few days and it’s gonna get worse , there’s 70k people , alot might die

It’s feels like it could be perfectly orchestrated like everything else going on this year! Is it really natural? Or is it darker than that? :/

@soulfire It's darker. Drugs, naked people, witches 🧙‍♀️. That's why God gave them a little reminder with a double 🌈 to remember them who's in charge. The problem is they all are on drugs. So that love or respect is fake until the drugs run out.

The mud was only an issue for two days. The Playa dries out in a day. The Burns were absolutely AMAZING. Veteran Burners claimed they were among the best ever. PERFECT weather for them. You just had to be patient. Those who left but could have stayed really missed out.

Only one full day of dust and two day rain/mud delay. The Burns were amazing.

Amen.

Yes I’ve felt pure bliss by sitting with Jesus (Yeshua) and releasing myself to Him.

@@laurenharper1510 Agreed. I've been trying to honor and obey the Sabbath for some time now, though I still mess up pretty regularly, I'm getting much better at it & it does give me such a sense of peace, balance & pleasure. I'm so glad our Redeemer has such patience with us.

Really fantastic. Him and his buddies just saved so much hassle from this year's mud pits

Isn't this comment in and of itself an issue? Everyone is spiritual, even if they have not found the time and space to realize it.

Why. ?

So the master just sits, an watches, how amusing it is to be the one who knows, an to know what i know is not attained threw teachings, that i never speak. For spoken word distractions. From your attractions. All that ever needs to be has already been, thus doing is a fools Aaron, for all that will ever be, is being, an to understand being, one must look deeply into non being. The answers, to all ones learnings are inside myself. Thus no teaching is ever necessary for the one who fallows the true way

...glad I got to enjoy it back then 2000-2007, then it all changed

True. Ego, greed, money, councils, permits etc. Every event could begin with this in mind and set a cut off point. Once we reach x amount of people, pull the pin and start something new. IDK though there are festivals in Europe with double the crowd numbers.

The people who started BM are in their 70’s now. They are cashing in while they still can.

Not surprising. Do you know if they still attend?@@deborahdaviesdd-artist1059

@@spiritlevelstudios It sounds like that's what Aubrey is doing.

Yeah I love Aubrey but this feels weird, re uploading this video because in the first one he promoted arkadia and then prolly realized it was unchill to talk ish on burning man then claim the one he’s making will be better

Oh , so he cut his Arkadia promo? I saw the first upload and CBFd watching it all again. Dick move to bash the Man and then immediately promo his own freak fest as a replacement.

You changed more than burning man. There's always been plenty of bad shit to witness there. My first was 97. But depending on where you are, what time and what you're focusing on the burn can be many things. Some people don't even leave their own little vicinity but a few times and have an amazing time. Or you could go look for pretentious hypocrites. Or evil dark ones. It's all there. The politics were dumb in 2016 when you went. You just were new to it. Now that you've outgrow it wallah, you're a genius. And now you'll really be sukn ur own D now that you think you dodged a bad time. Or maybe you'd have had the best one yet as people came together to help one another. All a matter of perspective.

You missed the best year this year then. You’ve never seen people more communal, more dedicated to their community and they well being of everyone, and the indomitable spirit of celebration rising well well about tough circumstances.

@@Will_whore_my_data_for_food I know but it is deeper than that, people project their insecurities onto others and it causes animosity. We can all get along if we just leave our egos in the dust and stop trying to compete and compare ourselves to eachother. Everyone should be accepted, small or big, masculine or feminine. What we consume effects how we act and how our mood is.

Sounds like the fatal sequence of a democracy or a const.republic. look it up.

I went in 2003 4 and 5 and 6, and then again in 14 15 16. didn't seem hardly at all different to me then. what do you even mean 'ruined?' If someone LETS others define something for them, and LETS THEM ruin it for them, well, that's the fault of the letters, ain't it. No one ruined burningman for me. I enjoyed it plenty in 14 and 15 and 16.

🗣Repent Israelites all praise to the most high YAHAWAH AND HIS SON YAHAWASHI🤴🏽🦁🛸👑🔥 The so called black man, Latino, and Native Americans are the Israelites. Yahawah chosen people. That are scattered in all nations through our fathers. Making them Israelite foreigners/Scattered sheep/The multitude. Yahawashi speaking: Matthew 15:24 “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth Deuteronomy 32:39 “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand Galatians 6:7 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:8 “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”

This feeling that you got already in 2007 of Burning Man becoming very commercial and egocentric/ materialistic makes me think that burners that are VIP and with a lot of wealth contributed to shift the genuine spirit of the festival. So when I listened to Aubrey Marcus who is actually one of these wealthy famous burners I think that he is also part of this western white privileged new age spirituality so self centred in improving, healing, having mystical experiences, so outcome-focused on reaching some heightened level of consciousness and less focused on the collective and radical acceptance of humanity. His first burning man was 2016 and he says that he had noticed a change since then but perhaps I think that it was already like that in 2016 and that the change is in him....maybe he is going through a personal shift in awareness that allowed him to noticed that. Or perhaps he is just saying this to follow the trend of the moment of what is right and cool to say. I think it's maybe a mix of both. I wish that in his speech he'd include himself in part of this shift in awareness from 2016 rather than saying " when I used to go it was cool, now that I don't go is because it's not cool anymore'. Don't get me wrong, I like Aubrey Marcus and I enjoy his podcast but I stopped in the last year to follow his podcast noticing who is he giving voice to ( majority are part of this rich white spiritual new age dudes) and not a lot of space is given to unprivileged voices of marginal communities. If you consider yourself spiritual and driven by these values and you are such a popular figure in this new age psychedelic renaissance movement then you should start asking yourself about your privilege and who are you giving voice to. I wish he would use his channel to shine more awareness to the less cool and pretty side of this niche of white dudes going to expensive retreads taking all sort of psychedelics and focused on self care all the time. I wish he could take a critical stand and think of how to give voice to a more diversified group of people including black women, activists and all different kind of people..

You just described the entire modern left wing movement. I'm a liberal and had to vote straight Republican in 2020 and looks like will have to again coming up in 2024, it's sad really.... Conservatives are more liberal than most "liberals" now-a-days, and "liberals" are just plain angry, mean, and misled.

Lets be real. Why are ppl picking up garbage that wasnt their own before? Because people were polluting. It shouldnt have been there to begin with.

There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way of destruction.

Have an event without drugs. That's your biggest problem. Either when on or wearing off. That shows your true colors and they ain't nice. Cuz you used all your endorphins for something that was fake and now you just hate the world coming off and everyone you see. They hating it right now I bet!

That Thing In The Desert.

When cell phone reception became available on the playa, it pretty much ended my desire to attend Burning Man. The differences in the culture, personal interactions, and behaviors were undeniable. Much like in the regular world, people were glued to tiny screens, hooked on social media feeds, etc. Made me sad, but also super grateful to have burned for so many great years before mobile phones were a thing!

It's always the same - mainstream eats subculture (and shits it out). When that happens, you know that it has become stale, "sanitized" and "under control", otherwise it wouldn't be mainstream.

What you put out to the universe, you receive in spades. Actually it wouldn't be so bad if Burningman was "so yesterday ". Maybe some old timers would return. ❤

What does people becoming more secular have to do with the decline of Burning Man?

And the captain of them all promoting his opinion right here 😅

When you first went, you were naive and wide eyed by the spectacle of it all. The more things & nuances you picked up on over the years, the more you wisened up and gained perspective on the shallowness of it all.

Someone earlier made the comment if you are spiritual and/or sensitive, don't go to BM. Maybe they knew!!

This was literally the most beautiful, communal, amazing year to go.

This is true.
