Beauty unfolds in front of our eyes as the shallow tide falls into the sky, scatters into rays of water that's not afraid. We do not seek further judgement, we prowl only on abundance, only the truth shines and acceptance is never far behind. I know once a story, it's told a million times, and every other time it differs only in rhyme.

Into the jungle has this night taken us, creatures of nature stomp their feet, and the artist has taken his lead. The deeds done in favor of destiny, an atmospheric presence revealing ecstasy. A dance of destruction, once been called. The red in us has taken the fall.

We shall not preach what we do not teach, it's time to embrace the feather. For the leather in turn has changed the weather and an aura has escalated beyond. Far stories have now dropped into the pond and losses bear the haters. For what we chose is to embrace the creator.

The Earth, The Sun and The Universe arrive.
In treble, mediums and bass we jive.
We've just witnessed the ' Goa ' state of mind, we just passed through all we were waiting to find.
The land of two suns has come together, and breathe now deeper into a sense of calm, for the memories don't die, they create forever.

Purple, psychedelia, rave you ask?
Wisdom, intuition and intelligence arise from the dark.
The banyan tree has extended it's roots, in Goa we've discovered the fruit.
For it's not us, it's not them, and after all we're only ordinary men!
Geometry has brought us closer, the flower pattern of life expresses composure.

All i have is gratitude and respect, for another stage of life we've just checked.
And it's time for the final peck, open your minds and discard your deck.

Raise your vision, make your decisions.
The eyes shine, it's the only thing that would make you fine.
So look straight, focus through the darkness, for we have given way to our energies to harness.
Its best we now compose some calm, for soon it will be time to leave the farm.

When we go deep, we see the creep, that programming has us absorb.
Break the box and combine your thoughts, you know now, you can be better.
Your vision is intelligent, go ahead and behave like gentlemen, for its only your truth you will find.
Let's go behind, let dreams unwind, and play the stage is again clean, you've seen forty years of your time, you know how dreadful it may get sometimes.

So be the soldier, it's time for closure and its time memories make us bind.

Evolution is simple, no space for confusion, trust your intuition and you shall reach the conclusion.
There is no exclusion, only inclusion.
DANCE to glory, DANCE to madness, for we have to change the frequencies of sadness.
We emit only the highest point, we do not break the universal joint.

Heavens when descend, when darkness ends, when we wave across the curvy bends.
The speed goes faster, it never slows down. We cannot waste, we cannot frown.

Destiny has shown me what i shall find, my love shall stay, we shall always bind.

Thank you for this psychedelic experience GOA, our light spreads like wild over the universe.
Once you look beyond what you cannot tolerate, you find that you have stumbled upon the ocean.
It was just a matter of what you allow, and what you do not.


THE RAVERS MANIFESTO
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 the same. 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 very realizations that each of 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, most hedonistic 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 ourselves from 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 the 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.
