Monkeys guardians of the gate

[kahunahawaii]

The chanters are on shrooms..

[sustainablehuman]

@kahunahawaii I doubt it. Psychedelics affect your perception of time, making it difficult to stay in time with others. On what do you base this assertion?

[kahunahawaii]

@sustainablehuman so what is the problem..

[urbandiscount]

the kecak in this form was invented for tourists in the 1920s

[aryowailangitoyo97]

this is kecak dance, this dance is telling the story of Ramayanam or ramayana

@sustainablehuman

Incorrect... I've taken everything up to Salvia Divanorum at drum circles and still managed to play on time with everyone else who was whacked out on whatever it was we all partook at that moment...

Cult is just short hand for culture... Heavy Metal is a cult... Rap is a cult... Big Business is a cult...

Don't serve culture... Create it.

I went to this in Bali recently. Absolutely mesmerizing.

[secretorganisation]

i wonder...did they have an audition on which should make the specific sounds?

@sustainablehuman Psychedelics sure don't affect your sense of rhythm, at least not in a bad way.

[lamentofhorde]

Those flashes from the cameras have got to be annoying to the dancers.

@123allrock i agree with you on that, but there are subcultures that really are crazy cults, like those who claims vampire perhaps, because of some hip novels. goths although they're not following or understand the gothic age at all, group suicidal etc. but the things that stills amazes me, is that, i've seen pretty crazy shit in bali, like animal sacrifices, ridiculous myths and rules (i admit i'm balinese) but they turn out to be true and positive. is there like a biased between beliefs?
