YosemiteBear's Double Rainbow: What does it MEAN?

Yosemite Bear posted a video on Youtube on January 8, 2010 - almost six months ago, entitled "Yosemite Mountain Giant Double Rainbow 1-8-10" - and this video has skyrocketed to well over 8 million views, closing in to 9 million views shortly. At the moment that it happened, it seems obvious that he had no idea what kind of a 'cultural meme' he would create by being so authentic and in the moment with his awe, wonder and excitement. In the video, while rainbowgasming over the enormous Double Rainbow, he asks: "What does this Mean?" It seems to me that the answer to that question is revealing itself in the aftermath; an answer that he never could have imagined in the moment he asked that question.He recently was featured on the Jimmy Kimmel show, and Jimmy asked him: "What does it mean?" And Bear's response was: "Well, Spirit's talking to me." Jimmy asks, "What spirit is talking to you?" Bear responds: "The Spirit of the universe." Jimmy asks, "What is the Spirit of the Universe saying?" Bear says, "It's saying that people don't need Sex and Drugs to connect to Nature and to Spirit; they can enjoy themselves without that stuff."Bear stated this publicly and openly on National TV! So when looking at his video in retrospect, and I ask myself: "What does this mean?" I immediately feel that Bear became a powerful conduit for speaking for Spirit on a wide, national platform. He went from a poor man raising chickens living out in Yosemite, to suddenly being on TV, selling Double Rainbow T-shirts on his brand new website, and having spawned possibly hundreds of spin-offs, auto-tune & techno remixes of his video on Youtube. All through the experience of witnessing an incredible Double Rainbow one day in January.So when I look at this video and witness this man experiencing such a complete ecstatic meltdown over this rainbow, and I ask "What does this Mean?" I look not at the meaning of it in the moment, but the meaning of it in terms of the collective culture in the aftermath. I personally think the reason why it has captured so much attention is because people aren't used to seeing someone totally lose it, in an orgasmic intensity, over something so benign, simple and beautiful as a rainbow. His extreme ecstatic emotional response in the moment is what people are fascinated with. Either people can identify with that feeling or they find it hilarious. And I think it's because people want to feel that extreme state of Awe and amazement at the sheer beauty and magic of life, themselves.Especially as a man, his almost childlike innocence & purity, and soft sweetness in demeanor, evoke a completely different way of being masculine that is rarely seen in the mainstream; that of being in Awe with the mystery and majesty of life, rather than dominating it.I understand what he means, when his response is "Spirit's talking to me." Because I too have received powerful messages from Spirit, from the Spirit of the universe. And I understand that the majority of people in the mainstream don't understand, but I feel that this video's popularity is a sign that the Spiritual forces of the Universe are beginning to seep more and more into the mainstream, through many alternative conduits - such as YosemiteBear. And that, soon enough, more and more people in the mainstream and across the planet will understand too. The fact is, he never sought fame, it just happened, through his childlike innocence and purity of spirit and awe. Whereas many people who walk the spiritual path attempt to draw attention to themselves through various means to express the truth of spirit they feel excited they have discovered, which can sometimes create spiritual people who are like a preacher or a teacher. Rather than just experiencing the moment in its totality, in its magical unity with creation, without any pretense, without any need to try to teach anything, but just to be in that state of bliss, heart-expanded love & total emotional release; with nothing to prove. For it is in that moment that we experience spiritual unity with the oneness of life, which is the goal of any spiritual path.It is understandable that one would have a magical, profound, liberating, ecstatic-bliss experience and try to be a guide to others on how to reach that state of transendence. But truly, as shown by Yosemite Bear, one does not always need someone to guide you into that realm, but we do need to witness each other in our childlike purity, in our awe, in our play, in our total openness and Love for life. Because in that witnessing of another being who has totally let go and is in their state of magical awe and play, a safe space is created where we too are allowed to feel that open, authentic, and in the moment - and That is the most healing experience in the world. And hopefully, in some way, Yosemite Bear's video has created a safe space for other people to open up to their own uncontrived, authentic state of awe and beauty.I also feel that, without saying anything explicitly, Yosemite Bear is communicating something subtle yet profound about the momentum and shift as we reach 2012, which is that we each will experience our own personal, totally subjective experience of the magical unity of life, through witnessing the Beauty of Mother Earth. And that by emotionally attuning to our Mother Earth, each in our own way, we will be attuned to the source of Power for the transformational shift during this process, and that emotionally attuning to the Mother Earth's power during the shift will be ORGASMIC.Thank you Yosemite Bear for your incredibly real expression of Joy and Awe, and for creating an offering of such pure orgasmic beauty to be gifted to the world. Blessings to you!
