Anahata Festival: Psychedelic Revolution or Egoist Calamity




Anahata Festival was the first event crafted by the chillspot organization in collaboration with other underground artists, it was hosted in a natural spot within the small village of Saket that literally translates to Quietness. The event was a two days ongoing gathering of people who supposedly shared the same beliefs and open-mindness. Despite the vivid fact that the gathering was safe and there was a pleasurable connectedness with the folks present, rare were the moments in which civility and mannerism were perceived. However, as the dancing scene commenced and night fell on our feet each whorish lady and non-gentelman dancing were portraying his own celebrative identity, some had a rascaled jumping and falling others were practicing Tai chi with the vibes, few were manifesting decadence through elegance and some were dancing with love. This diversity of social classes and psychedelic identities made the event vivified in its calamity.


I on my own part was both praised and slightly uncomfortable in certain moments. I did enjoy great revelations and met the most passionate souls lads as I have met postponed disappointments and people enamored with decadence who had no glimmer of mannerism at all. Indeed, Dark Romanticism was as in Sins of Algiers displayed again ( a philosophy that states that the brightest lad is the darkest and so the opposite applies). As for my event, due to the lack of material and the absence of a respected schedule I had to improvise a quick gathering on the last minute. We sat accross each other in a lotus posture where the I became a we and I was astonished and at moments in awe to discover the geniushood of certain folks and the highness of their knowledge that came with no academical initiation at all but rather a natural poetic genius that strives to be noticed and availed


“Our social identity is meant to be forever collapsed by the natural revelations that we go through. The human experience is about inner acceptance and to receive validation from other folks motivated by the natural core is the aim” Nesrine


We were partially ten increasing and decreasing with the vibes. We moved through the points of my conference that I was supposed to project solely but later decided to have it collectively as I was excited to discover other points of view. First of all we tackled the role of psychedelics whether they are importance or facultative.


“It is important to go through a psychedelic experience at least once in a lifetime. However, the psychedelic do not initiate anything that wasn’t already there. They simply separate the conceptual from the divine and thus enhances the perspective of the human mind and perfects his genius so that it becomes connected solely with the divine” Turkish Guy


And then moving onto the second point of the conference, I was immodestly ahead in this point on how to lead a spiritual life on the material matrix. My point of view, despite being personal was commonly understood since it came from the same natural source. The reason why certain people were not able to fit in the material world and to find a job and enter the matrix is because their faculties and natural genius will constantly forbid them from doing so since they possess the power not to conform but to create and to use the money not as a fuel but as a source of energy used to make decisions. Indeed, some people fail to notice the esoteric of the capitalistic world, it forces slavery on those who wants to adheres whereas if a man has the capacities to create his own pyramid then he will be facing nothing but easiness and rapidness in the growth of his business, project, book.


Concludingly coming to the last and third point of the conference that manifested itself during my taxi trip towards home, The urban magick of the town versus the Divinity of nature. I was in company of a young lad who was part of my collective gathering and we lived in the same area and therefore shared the same culture; We did miss the harshness of the town and the noise and hazzard of the ville. I did miss the glimmers of mannerism and civility that were the foundation of the two bourgois towns in which we both grew.


“Towns are a cradle of civilization. Nature and towns both complete each other. One must find the time to retreat in nature in order to find himself and to return to the town in order to escalate within the social hierarchy and to find himself a place.” Ryad


As through each natural progression of the soul the trip starts with the ego bursting and taking the lead then it starts dissolving and fading until it reached. It was amusing to be the spectator and the researcher in a field of uncountable experiences all shared and manifested in the same soil. The Anahata festival was an accidentally manifestation of a return to original source that starts with the heart chakra and dissolves. This event did not gather spiritual people away from the egoist world but it gathered egoic people with few spiritual folks who struggled to keep their divinity intact yet succeeded in facing a collective egoist calamity and to keep their universe fueled by the universal love. They were few bright within many advocates but true to their core. They were a happy few.

Some people passively understood this point others had to go through a spiritual transformation. The ones who bursted their ego in nature and afflcited her majestic divinity will suffer the course. Others who celebrated their divinity in nature returned to the town with a stronger perspective and a better fueled energy in order to face the world with its revelations and villainies. Everlastingly persevering, unabbattingly transcending craving the emergance into oneness oncemore with these psychedelic butterfly wings in which we have flown before.
