Well, as the Moderator, the only thing I am sensitive to right now is that this thread is headed to a bad place.
Closed. - AllworthExplorer IISay what?
- jplante4Explorer IIGuess I'm not a sensitive - moving on...
- buckyExplorer III will have to look into this, interesting but very odd at the same time. Do you have Native American heritage by any chance?
There were many many tribes here in the area before the first invaders pushed them out, and a lot of festivals etc by the descendants of those people. Also a lot of wannabees that name themselves as such. - cannesdoExplorerNote...I was directing this post to other sensitives. If you were one you would understand. If you find something silly or don't understand it, you can always move on to the next thread. Some of us feel this energy very clearly and deeply, or even have a sense of what happened on the land. I don't laugh at you for not being one, please show me, and others who do experience this the same respect. It's not an easy way to live, picking up on every little thing the way we do, but it causes us to read others really well and therefore be compassionate in ways others aren't. In fact it's so difficult -- and lonely -- it's led me at times to want to leave my own life. Haha...yeah...hilarious huh? I'm a Montanan, not a Californian and this is term I use wherever I am. Heavy is the opposite of light. You've all walked into a room and felt the energy of it -- he difference between a wedding and a funeral. Well some entire areas feel like funerals to us. Not "Pass me that joint, this conversation is heavy" -- heavy...But feeling the collective pain of thousands of people suffered and died all at once" -- heavy.
Again...if you can't relate this thread is not for you.
That said....
I took a chance on Santa Barbara this summer. I'd been here once before and really didn't like it. Thought it was a fluke. But again, I cannot bear this place. Soooo so heavy. Like a weight hanging over the place. Unbearable. I'm getting out. Heading back to San Diego. It has such a different feel. Did a little research on the area, knew there had to be some Native American stuff in the mix and sure enough, the bulldozed a burial ground to build their airport (a mile from here). It's right near Isla Vista/UCSB where they've have a long history of violence, including the massacre last year. Does anyone else feel that when they're here? - RGar974417ExplorerWe have stayed at lots of "heavy energy" campgrounds over the years.
Some of our favorites,Goose Point on Philpott Lake and Sherando Lake in Va.Trout Pond in WV,Assateague NP Bayside in Md.Huntington SP in SC.St Francois SP in Mo.Pipestem SP and Gerald R Freeman on Sutton lake in WV. - jnharleyExplorerBay Crest RV Park just outside Homer, AK, We were up on a bluff with a magnificent view of Kachemak Bay outside our rear window. There was lots of wild flowers on the bluff and this by far is the best campground view we have ever had.
- mdcampingExplorer"Heavy energy CG's?" Is this what they say in California? :B
anyway...
