    “There’s no place

    I was there in 2019, but after seeing your video, I realized I wasn't as present as I should have been. Your video put everything into context for me. I love that you featured the artwork of Burning Man in great detail and showcased the artistic vision of the creators. Please make more videos like this; it was very enlightening.

      "Burning Man" is the most hypocritical, backwards, bullshit event you can encounter.
      They preach "pro-environment" while literally DESTROYING the surrounding environment with trash.
      They preach "Socialism" while charging money for tickets and getting RICH AS FUCK from it!
      You are braindead, clueless, fake, or just inexperienced if you think this is a "cool" festival.
      This guy who owns the channel is making money from the video, therefor this video in itself is 100% contrary to the "burning man" manifesto!
      "Burning Man" should be renamed "Fake Man" because it is LITERALLY the largest gathering of fake, lost, and clueless people on the planet... that is no exaggeration, at all...
      it is literally the largest gathering of people who have no idea WHO they are, or WHAT they want to be, they are lost individuals.
      Everything about this event is the epitome of hypocrisy and fakeness!

    this really for me captures a very holistic view of the burn. It shows the art side, the party side, the side that's missed the most I think which is the showing of what living in that community is like. I don't think I have seen very many films that effectively capture the whimsy and playfulness of the burn either so congratulations and you should be very proud of your video

    Life is all about creation and that's what these people are doing. The are contributing to a cause greater than themselves. It's hard for one individual to do much unless they are extremely driven. But a small group of people working together for a common goal is almost unbeatable. I started this journey as a teenager back in the '60s and that was one exciting decade. But I am so proud of how far people have come since then. Awareness is growing exponentially. We are all in this reality together.

    Wonderful video, and an amazing series of videos. Just some quick (hopefully none preachy) advice to anyone who wants to go to Burning Man or if you have any other dreams, don't keep putting it off! I've been fortunate enough to both attend and work at lots of festivals here in the UK both big and small but always had the ambition to one day go to Burning Man but kept thinking there would be plenty of time. Unfortunately I was pretty ill over the last 12 months so the chances of going now are slim (lung and mobility issues and health insurance would be prohibitive). So people, don't put off until tomorrow because you don't know what tomorrow will bring. Fortunately through Mark's videos I have hours of watching Burning Man ahead of me so I can live vicariously through these videos. On the positive side I now have a new ambition to start a small local arts festival locally in the spirit of Burning Man. And remember, live, love laugh, sing and dance. The rest is just filler :)

It was fun to go outside and thanks to you I’ve checked the sky and it looks so I don’t know how to express it right but I think it has to be amazing, but is gray and looks so thick and dark... but it’s astonishing or something like that. Jus magnificent I guess... Ok It feels very interesting to write because it feels like you will understand what I am writing about here right now. And if you had difficulty to understand by now I am definitely your favorite... I don’t know why is it so important for me to be your favorite commentator. Can you fake it and tell me that I am your favorite? But now when I ask it how will ever find it out if you telling me the truth or not... it means that now I will not trust you ever... But thats my choice to trust you or not... hmmm... interesting... Back to sky it’s gray. Not gonna lie it’s gray. And no sun and it doesn’t matter it’s day or night there is no sun... what can I do about it. It’s true... well not indefinitely true the sun shows up here now and then... and yes we see some colors on the sunset and sometimes very beautiful! I wish you were here to see it then! But not always here. Just some times. The gray is always here tho! It depends what you want to se. But you can’t choose when because it’s not up to you... nor me. But you can chose to try. Yes. Ok I will do my bed now and I will tell you soon when you can continue on your video. Ok? Nooo I cant make bed and make all of you wait... I tryied to hard at the moment... You feel so important to me this evening.. so I will share that I am here in this apartment gonna sleep first night usualy I am cruising around, but this night It’s in apartment. I think it’s good choice for December month to do some city life right now. It feels voulnarble to share but I live in the van... not because I have to. But i choose to :) so thats fun :) I am grateful that I can make choices. Ah amazing... feels so good! Just felt for others that can’t make choices right now... sending them love vibrations! Ok back here in room. OK enough of sharing I will continue watching... and before that I want to share how amazingly grateful I am for you making this videos in this amazing way! You remind me of that feeling that I am nothing and everything.... And that I am not alone in all of that! Sending you love and gratitude! And hug! And Now I will do some Burning man right now! Jee... I am seriously happy and enjoying it so much! Thank you! Love bye! Bye! ...well no connection now... and then I’ve got the impulse that I want some tea... Are you still on pause? Sorry for that... but few more minutes ok? I feel happy that I don’t have to wait for you in the middle of the video going and taking care of all your needs to continue watching... haha that would be unbearable... I assume you have so much going on in your daily life! Gratefull that you cut all that stuff out... and focusing on BM... not saying that I would be interested in watching that ether... well actually i wouldn’t... well actually it depends what parts of your life... demn’t now it sounds that I am not interested in your life or that your life is less interesting than mine... thats not what I mean. I mean I don’t wanna spend all my life watching someones life. I stop there and my tea is boiln I hear... so I will get back and will start watching immediately ok. And ofcourse I will fix the internet issue to be able to continue watching! And maybe you’ve understood by now how grateful I am for you making this video! Thank you! Much love! It’s so hard to stop sharing... gosh... bye!

    Thank you from the deepest depth of my heart. To all of your for being Home to me.
    From Dorthy's Dream Journal.
    Dream 14, Dorthy's final dream:
    We went on a long journey together, following an endless path.
    We went to the city to see a great man.
    A wizard we had heard so much about.
    But in the end it wasn't about the man at all.
    It was the self-discovery and the courage to go out and test ourselves in ways we never guessed or imagined.
    The wizard man was looming in the distance.
    Scarecrow felt inadequate.
    The tin man felt unloved.
    Lion coward in fear.
    I just wanted to go home.
    We asked in unison, where is my mind?
    Where is my heart? Where is my courage?
    And the wizard man did the most unexpected thing.
    He burned.
    He threw his arms up to the sky, fiery sparks making new stars in the full canopy of night.
    And then burst into an inferno of light.
    He was nothing but a hollow wooden thing.
    He had no specific power.
    He had no insight.
    He had only himself, the stuff of his body to silently illuminate us.
    As the fires consumed him the wind whipped flaming twisters off of his pyre.
    And the four of us looked to each other.
    In each other we saw mirrors of ourselves and through that we saw our own true strengths.
    We grew bigger than the burn of the wizard man.
    Dancing laughing planning through the night all the remarkable things we would do after we left this desert land.
    The wizard man turned out to be something of a fraud.
    But he gave us the initiative to find what we needed.
    He was a spark, a catalyst, just like I learned about in science class.
    And because of him we learned that everything we seek is already inside us.
    The goodness and the bravery, the creativity and love, the resilience and wisdom.
    Sometimes I may need this dreamworld to remember we have it.
    But I don't need this desert to keep it.
    It's here.
    It's me.
    Dream 14, Dorthy's final dream:
    Burning Man sky update Baker Beach Edition:
    The epiphany of ecstasy and the ecstasy of epiphany.
    Enter the passage into the infinitarium at night.
    You might see a giant metal octopus all 8 arms aflame.
    You might see a house sized unicorn sailing across the desert.
    Or a giant driving chicken lit up against the night sky.
    You might simply find a whirling spiral of fire and dust.
    A beacon of metamorphosis that changes nothing but your perspective,
    Which,
    Which Is Everything.
    You might find your way home.
    You might already be home.
    After all,
    There Is No Place Like Home.

    I know I'm late to the game on these amazing videos, but I had a pretty rough end to 2022 where my dog died (I had her from when I was 10 to when I was 26, I almost can't remember life without her), I went through a bad breakup, and I had to scramble to find a new job after a 1 year internship ended- all between August and December. I was looking for something fun to do that would make me feel spiritually connected to myself again and one of my favorite TH-camrs mentioned Burning Man. Now I'm hooked and saving money to go. I plan to place a picture of my puppy in the temple and watch it burn to help me heal.
