Thank you Jon for this healing album with all of my heart. I woud love to hear you being interviewed on Luke Storeys Podcast. I will suggest that he invites you to his podcast. Best, Steve
I’ve been doing psychedelic therapy for about 2 years now. I am so specific about the music and have curated many a playlist. I hope I can try yours as I am at my lowest point. Thank you
I meditate to this every night before bed. It is teaching me to love myself after many years of poor mental health. From now I choose love, not fear in making choices. Your music helps me heal my suffering and for that I will be forever grateful.
The last few weeks have been really hard for me too mentally. I've had pretty bad anxiety and ocd my whole life. But lately it's also been resulting in depression. I have been meditating and learning to let the obtrusive thoughts pass. Also working on my perception of God. Judging myself less and knowing that whatever happens we will be okay. Also this video brought me so much peace!!
@@MaxCady969 Don't forget that everyone is walking their own path, exclusively. It is unique to their experience. There are many ways to travel up the same mountain.
Jon… I wish you to know I recently played “Sit Around The Fire” with the graphic video projected on a huge panoramic screen at the funeral for my dearest friend who passed away from pancreatic cancer.. he was a musician of great talent…the screen was above his casket with surround speakers at each corner of the church…. Everyone, and I mean everyone was brought instantly to tears… when it was over all you could hear was weeping and sobbing… then applause and jubilation… it was BEAUTIFUL … thank you Jon, thank you! ❤
I was just thinking about asking for this at my own memorial, if there is one-and then I saw your comment. So powerful and affirming. Thank you for sharing. I’m sorry for your loss. ❤
I listened to this track on the way to my ketamine infusion today and cried. Then I listened to it on repeat for the entire trip, and man, did it take me places. Every word, every piano chord, every second of this song is perfectly beautiful.
@@wallpaperkillabro ketamine infusions got me traveling. The song “Rivendell” in the lord of the rings sound track had me feeling like I was reviewing my life from the afterlife. I didn’t even realize I had it on repeat 😂
you guys need to just love, bro what the fuck is wrong with everybody? There's literally what bro is talking about in this song is simply loving, and you guys need drugs.?????
The incest and the adultery is not allowed...but the war sey we just have no others way's to reproduce ourselves...such a lie,,traitors of ladies traitors of mothers,,the war itself puts us down in misery 2:59
For real. That right there resignates with me more than anything else from Ram Dass in this particular guided meditation he did. So simple, yet so meaningful, helpful and important.
this meditation has brought me back .. grounded me with love and openness. Compassion and gratitude. I’m 35 weeks pregnant and i listen to this with my baby. Her middle name is Ember.

My wife and I just got married this summer. We had a big psychedelic gathering of friends and family over the course of two days in the middle of nowhere. The theme we chose for our wedding as well as the quote that is engraved in our wedding rings became "quiet the mind, open the heart". It's been resonating with us ever since this album came out and it will stay with us forever. Thank you Jon Hopkins for this. For making this healing tool, for honoring Ram Dass, and for helping people understand the healing powers of psychedelics
This is absolutely beautiful and so inspiring to me. Congratulations on being so deeply present with each other and the loved ones in your life. What a beautiful gift to be here on the planet at such a time.
When I was leaving the armed forces after serving 4 tours, two in war. I was a broken scared angry man. I would try and hide away. I had this scruffy old laptop and used it to stream RUclips. I found this mad scientist of sensational music and sound. I've lost myself in these wonderful symphonies of emotion and energy. They have helped me heal. Over the years I've enjoyed them so much. But this is by far the most beautiful peice of harmony I've ever heard ❤ thank you Jon Hopkins 😊
I love seeing my friends faces in front of me at a campfire, staring quietly at the fire, when you sudennly make eye contact with them and both know the feeling. Sitting around the fire with my loved ones will have a whole new meaning from now on.
I heard this during a psilocybin Ceremony. I opened my eyes for the first time in over 3 hours after it ended to write the words AWE and GRATITUDE on a notepad. That piece of paper is now taped to my bathroom mirror. This video is magnificent but I’m so happy I heard it during the stillness of Ceremony. You nailed it Mary!
I don’t know how this channel is just now popping up for me today, but I know WHY it has and I’m so grateful. Perfect timing! I feel like I just truly meditated for the first time! Clear mind and completely relaxed body. Amazing!
Hi there random person, we may not know each other, but I wish you all the best in life. Whatever it is that you are trying to achieve in life, I hope you get it, I hope you become the best version of yourself and I hope you find happiness. Good luck fellow human being. 🙏❤️
Thank you. Sadly the control has reached such immense levels that these beautiful messages , just like many beautiful individuals are buried beneath layers of manipulation, lies, half truths, diversions, illusions and fear.

The part about the fire inside us being just ashes kills me every time... I hope I can make that little ember in my ashes become a flame once again. I wont give up.
You and me both my friend. Just got to the end of this album, again, And its the embers that kill me everytime. Im a bloody mess now. Will have to go to tge beach soon and recharge these grumpy old batteries 😢
I use the fire metaphor with patients in psychiatry who have lost all hope and are suicidal. Not everyone gets it, but sometimes it helps. And its a beautiful thing to see someone get up the next morning and find the courage to start looking for that ember again.
Me too. It’s beautiful. As your soul is beautiful. Sometimes we just need a reminder that your soul, your essence, is of the purest love and goodness. Never give up on yourself. Keep seeing the light you bring to the world, even when your days feel dark. Be blessed.
I'm in love with all the positive comments. Every time i stray from love, this brings me back to the path. It's taken 38 years to begin to understand who i am. Ram Das and Alan Watts have recently come into my life because of this meditation by Jon. I hope you all find your inner peace.
It’s all coming together. Or rather, we’re all coming together. 😌 Perhaps it is true that we’re all just walking each other home. Going to the same place.
thank you jon hopkins, ram dass, east forest, thank you mushroom medicine, plant medicine, heart medicine!, thank you for this beauty which helps lighten back the ember ✨
Recently had a horrendous stint in hospital, surrounded by mayhem, sleep deprived, considerably ill....and this had me accepting everything for what it was/is/will be. I'm a grown man who blubbered to himself for the first time in decades....the release was a gift. I don't expect Jon Hopkins to read or respond to messages on RUclips but want the world to know how grateful I am for his music, and guiding me through my own darkness. Be the fan to someone else's embers.

I can truly write that psychedelics and especially mushrooms changed a lot in me. It was like first step in huge transformation of myself. The beggining of the process to understand a lot of aspects connetced to "spiriuatlity". I believe that this album could be small step to help other people understand what psychodelics really are. Now due to their illegal status many thinks its like heroine or other hard drugs and its hard to accept... I hope that one day we will be able to use psychodelics legally and many people will benefits from using them. Can't wait for the album!
I'm afraid to hear things like that with psychedelics, after I had a bad trip with marijuana about death, I was afraid of not knowing how to distinguish between reality and spirituality when I'm not sober.
I had just left my father who in reality we have had a rocky life relationship. He was very sick and even though we hadn’t talked in years I was compelled to go help him. We spent the day together laughing and actually had to take him to the hospital. He is fine and on the way home in the pouring rain this gem finds me! A voice whispered in my ear, let it go! Forgive him! Life is so much easier when you choose to surrender and accept that we are all doing the best we can! Love often, forgive often! ❤
Back in 1976 I found the book Be Here Now, left by someone in a youth hostel in Scotland - by the lake Loch Ossian. Read it there and was deeply touched - and ever since that Ram Dass teachings has been a part of my life, together with various forms of traditional Buddhism. Used to order cassette tapes from Hanuman Foundation in CA... Thank you for this beautiful inspiring presentation 🙏❤️
In 1978 at age 13. I was handed a copy of Busy Making Progress by Progress. In Argyle St. Trongate in Glasgow. That led me to a greater understanding of all religions, and acceptance of all. 1 , 🌺🙏🏼✌🏻👌🏼🌺
i feel like every tensity in my body kinda just melted... cried a bit, because it felt so good to let go for 8 minutes. damn. Thank you, Jon. Pre-ordering, now.
I would pay money for the uncompressed version of this video. There's a lot of lovely little intricacies in the animation. Kudos to Tom Readdy and Lucy Dawkins and anyone else on the team who animated this. Bravo!
ehm, I don't know if this comment is stating the obvious or not but this video is based on Be Here Now, the book by Ram Dass; every page is like this video :)
I wish I could hug Ram Dass and thank him in person. Jon too. You guys are part of the reason I'm still here. You helped me discover mindfulness again, and are helping me rediscover it again now. I have a long way to go, but I don't feel so lost anymore. Thank you, universe.
In seventh grade, I was chosen to be a part of a group of kids to take the SATs through Johns Hopkins University. I forget my score-- that's not the point. The point is that in less than nine minutes, I've learned more in listening to this masterpiece than I did in all the months of preparation I did those two decades ago. Thank you, Baba Ram Dass, Jon & eastforest. This is a salve on my soul.
This piece of art brings me to tears every time. It makes me realise that things are so simple. The only demons on this planet are in our hearts. We need to share pieces like this one and stop hate and violence around the world. Humanity is beautiful. Take care of yourselves everyone.
This has been helping me so much, as a reminder that I'm human, as a reminder to look deeper within and always love. Always be present, through the bitter times, through the blissful times. There's always some sort of light, no matter how dark things appear to be. If we blow on that ember, we can always rise ❤ thank you Jon Hopkins, thank you Ram Dass ❤
This is reminding you that you are NOT a human. You’re so much more than that. You’re eternal consciousness having an incredibly brief human experience.
I’ve been showing mindfulness and meditation videos to my 5th Grade students after lunch for a few years now. This is by far their favorite one. The music and the visual art are stunning. However, it’s Ram Dass’ message of our soul, our true self, that really hits home to us. Even when you’re 10,11 years old. It’s a beautiful reminder of how to live ❤
The confusion is saying "I don't know" but the minute you are quiet you find out that in truth you do know. I love the animations and i love Ram Dass! Ram Ram! Blessings to you all!
One of the most beautiful piece of Art of the Heart that I EVER heard.. I cannot fathom how fucking gorgeous this is. This is what I live for. Beloved Baba Dass... You really had a Sufi Heart.. Tears from your words over and over again. May all Beings be free of suffering. Om
Our facilitator played this during a ketamine assisted breathwork session and it hit me to the core. We are all just sitting around the fire for eternity.
I just listened to this on repeat during my 40 min. ketamine infusion today. The words perfectly described what I was seeing. I'm still a little teary-eyed.
I cry nearly every time I hear this. Ram Das’s voice ihits my heart and when those piano chords come In, if I’m not already bawling, those get me. It’s cathartic and true. Thank you guys for making this!
Thank you for this... This unlocked something deep within my spirit... Catharsis... Like tight binding being removed from around my whole chest and I can breathe differently...
I randomly found this album today and put it on for a nap. When i woke up this song had just started, i just laid there listening to it. Its just so friggin beautiful and made so much sense in its simplistic magnitude.
Mine is still alive and he is like a brother. But when he said “a cat”, it just made me appreciate him so much more knowing life is finite. I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you. They are family and a big part of the soul. I posted almost 8 months ago and I still miss her so dearly. Hold onto yours, take lots of pictures, love them and take in each moment of joy. Blessings to you.
I just never can get enough of this this song means the world to me helps me make sense of the cauos in my life and helps put me on track thank you for posting this song and also i thank the authors
There isn't much you have to do in life, keep it simple. Trust that the things meant for you will find you. Know that you are NEVER alone its literally impossible. Follow the things that speak to you with open arms. Its your life, never let anyone influence what your soul was meant for. Love and give to others to heal yourself. And i love you ❤
I’ve been through my good amount of break ups. The meaningful ones. The high school sweet heart. The college girlfriend. I’m going through one right now. I’m 34. With someone who opened my entire heart in such a way even after I promised myself I would only take care of me. Overnight, she was capable of bringing out that inner child in me. Someone I promised to protect from pain like I exposed them to with other lovers growing up. She was capable of bringing that kid out in me again. I was motivated and completely overwhelmed in the best way to provide for someone. In such a genuine way I’ve never felt before. Never wanted to before. Now, I’m stuck here trying to process why does the universe bring us people that are so perfect for us but at the wrong time. She had gone out of a relationship about a year ago, almost two but she never gave herself the time to be alone, to heal from it all, so she isn’t in a position to be able to be with someone mentally. All I can do is respect that from where I stand but it is so hard. I’m really trying but I don’t recollect ever feeling this type of pain.
Ram Dass seems to me one of the rare bullshit free "love gurus" of the 20th/21st century. Hopkins also sonically and compositionally distinguishes himself in his music. Peace from all corners.
That was incredible. The music, meditation and, voice and animation all just blended into one moment of nowness. Totally chilled me out. Thank you Jon.
I tried to like it twice. I feel like this describes where I'm at in life. I'm sober from alcohol over one year and have been mediating. Finally working on my relationship with God thru Jesus Christ. First was a bit tough, I joined the church and at first had fear oh going to hell. But I follow less of the calvinistic views now. I've had so much peace the last few days now that I'm developing my concept of them and judging myself less. Feel like I'm finally waking up. This is what life's about.
This piece warm genius has saved my life since it came into my life a little over a year ago. I would not have made it out of the darkness without it. Thank you.
I just had a K session at a clinic. They named a few tracks from their playlist including this. I couldn't believe beloved Ram Dass was in the background. It made the session even more powerful. I was smiling and weeping to his beautiful voice and words in my ear.💜
I will never be thankful enough for all that your art and your music has helped me Jon. This words mean a lot to me right now. I'm struggling with painful situation right now. But this bring me peace, let's me remember I'm here and now. And that I'm the only one who can decide I let more pain in or more love in my life. Thank you.
Since I first heard this on KEXP's Pacific Notions show last week, it has become rather central to my sense of well-being. An extraordinary contribution.
So profound, the real work is our own inner connection. Leave the rest to themselves. In truth, they were never your responsibility in the first place. Love to your Spirit Baba. ❣️💜

I needed this today... my heart is broken for the breakdown of everything in the middle east today... ahhh so. Ahhhhh so 🌟
This is beautiful thank you. "Beyond all polarities, I am."
This is one of the meditations we listen to in one of my A.A. meetings I go to on Zoom. Based in Ireland. 🙏🏽
7 years plus from Scotland. My go to music. For months now. Day at a time.
i feel like every tensity in my body kinda just melted... cried a bit, because it felt so good to let go for 8 minutes.
damn. Thank you, Jon.
Pre-ordering, now.
.. "we're all just walking each other home" ...
🌞 🙏 🌝
I wish lots of love to everyone who reads this ❤
I would pay money for the uncompressed version of this video. There's a lot of lovely little intricacies in the animation. Kudos to Tom Readdy and Lucy Dawkins and anyone else on the team who animated this. Bravo!
ehm, I don't know if this comment is stating the obvious or not but this video is based on Be Here Now, the book by Ram Dass; every page is like this video :)
@@arik3974 arik, he's talking about the art of the animation
@@Dutchess0909 so am I ;)
@@arik3974 I meant how they put that art into motion. :)
This art is absolutely beautiful.
sometimes you think you are fully prepared to be devastated, and then something like this song finds you
This was beautiful it brought some emotions to the surface that needed to be there.
I wish I could hug Ram Dass and thank him in person.
Jon too. You guys are part of the reason I'm still here. You helped me discover mindfulness again, and are helping me rediscover it again now. I have a long way to go, but I don't feel so lost anymore. Thank you, universe.
Well, I'll never stop having this in my life.
In seventh grade, I was chosen to be a part of a group of kids to take the SATs through Johns Hopkins University. I forget my score-- that's not the point. The point is that in less than nine minutes, I've learned more in listening to this masterpiece than I did in all the months of preparation I did those two decades ago.
Thank you, Baba Ram Dass, Jon & eastforest. This is a salve on my soul.
This made me crack up, thank you beautiful soul❤️
That's a piece of ART.
Taking a moment to appreciate the artistic visuals, the music and the sweet voice of Ram Das.
This piece of art brings me to tears every time. It makes me realise that things are so simple. The only demons on this planet are in our hearts.
We need to share pieces like this one and stop hate and violence around the world.
Humanity is beautiful.
Take care of yourselves everyone.
This has been helping me so much, as a reminder that I'm human, as a reminder to look deeper within and always love. Always be present, through the bitter times, through the blissful times.
There's always some sort of light, no matter how dark things appear to be. If we blow on that ember, we can always rise ❤ thank you Jon Hopkins, thank you Ram Dass ❤
This is reminding you that you are NOT a human. You’re so much more than that. You’re eternal consciousness having an incredibly brief human experience.
This is one of the most amazing music videos of all time.
I’ve been showing mindfulness and meditation videos to my 5th Grade students after lunch for a few years now. This is by far their favorite one. The music and the visual art are stunning. However, it’s Ram Dass’ message of our soul, our true self, that really hits home to us. Even when you’re 10,11 years old. It’s a beautiful reminder of how to live ❤
My most favourite song of all time. Actually this isn't even a song, it's an experience.
Wow, this felt like a big hug that I didn't know I needed
Be Here Now. This has been my Motto for many decades, and Ram Dass has helped with that. TY
This is timeless. Be Here Now. Amazing
The confusion is saying "I don't know" but the minute you are quiet
you find out that in truth you do know. I love the animations and i love Ram Dass! Ram Ram! Blessings to you all!
One of the most beautiful piece of Art of the Heart that I EVER heard.. I cannot fathom how fucking gorgeous this is.
This is what I live for. Beloved Baba Dass... You really had a Sufi Heart..
Tears from your words over and over again.
May all Beings be free of suffering.
Om
This song makes me cry every single time. Sometimes I just can't believe nor understand how powerful your music is, Jon.
This is definitely on the playlist for my next trip.
Can’t thank Ram Dass enough for how he has changed my life, thank you Baba Ram Dass, Jai Gurudev, Ram Ram Ram 🙌🙏
Thank you💖 We're all worthy, Life is precious.
This is one of the most beautiful things i have seen in a whilee 😍
Bowing down to the beloved master@Ram Dass,and to great musicians@East Forest,John Hopkins

Lots of love from India 🇮🇳
Our facilitator played this during a ketamine assisted breathwork session and it hit me to the core. We are all just sitting around the fire for eternity.
I just listened to this on repeat during my 40 min. ketamine infusion today. The words perfectly described what I was seeing.
I'm still a little teary-eyed.
You are a genius Jon Hopkins. Thank you for a life changing trip and experience I will never ever forget
I cry nearly every time I hear this. Ram Das’s voice ihits my heart and when those piano chords come In, if I’m not already bawling, those get me. It’s cathartic and true. Thank you guys for making this!
Thank you for this... This unlocked something deep within my spirit... Catharsis... Like tight binding being removed from around my whole chest and I can breathe differently...
I randomly found this album today and put it on for a nap. When i woke up this song had just started, i just laid there listening to it. Its just so friggin beautiful and made so much sense in its simplistic magnitude.
My cat died two days ago. She was my friend and spirit guide. This song helped me tune into my heart as I let her go. Thank you for this comfort.
Mine is still alive and he is like a brother. But when he said “a cat”, it just made me appreciate him so much more knowing life is finite. I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you. They are family and a big part of the soul. I posted almost 8 months ago and I still miss her so dearly. Hold onto yours, take lots of pictures, love them and take in each moment of joy. Blessings to you.
I just never can get enough of this this song means the world to me helps me make sense of the cauos in my life and helps put me on track thank you for posting this song and also i thank the authors
Peace and love are within. Thank you for this reminder.
It’s time to RISE from our ashes into FIRE 🔥 you got this , unique beautiful soul!
Im literally crying and.. I dont know this feelings..
Just thank you Jon
There isn't much you have to do in life, keep it simple. Trust that the things meant for you will find you. Know that you are NEVER alone its literally impossible. Follow the things that speak to you with open arms. Its your life, never let anyone influence what your soul was meant for. Love and give to others to heal yourself. And i love you ❤
I’ve been through my good amount of break ups. The meaningful ones. The high school sweet heart. The college girlfriend. I’m going through one right now. I’m 34. With someone who opened my entire heart in such a way even after I promised myself I would only take care of me. Overnight, she was capable of bringing out that inner child in me. Someone I promised to protect from pain like I exposed them to with other lovers growing up. She was capable of bringing that kid out in me again. I was motivated and completely overwhelmed in the best way to provide for someone. In such a genuine way I’ve never felt before. Never wanted to before. Now, I’m stuck here trying to process why does the universe bring us people that are so perfect for us but at the wrong time. She had gone out of a relationship about a year ago, almost two but she never gave herself the time to be alone, to heal from it all, so she isn’t in a position to be able to be with someone mentally. All I can do is respect that from where I stand but it is so hard. I’m really trying but I don’t recollect ever feeling this type of pain.
Ram Dass seems to me one of the rare bullshit free "love gurus" of the 20th/21st century. Hopkins also sonically and compositionally distinguishes himself in his music. Peace from all corners.
This is perfection. On every dimension, artistic, musical, spiritual. I've a feeling I will be coming back a lot. Can't wait for the album.
Well this has absolutely floored me. Wonderful piece of work ❤️
That was incredible. The music, meditation and, voice and animation all just blended into one moment of nowness. Totally chilled me out. Thank you Jon.
Simply beautiful, Deeply healing and calming
All we're going to do for eternity is sit around the fire 🙏🏻 Thank you forever for this music, visuals, words
I tried to like it twice. I feel like this describes where I'm at in life. I'm sober from alcohol over one year and have been mediating. Finally working on my relationship with God thru Jesus Christ. First was a bit tough, I joined the church and at first had fear oh going to hell. But I follow less of the calvinistic views now. I've had so much peace the last few days now that I'm developing my concept of them and judging myself less. Feel like I'm finally waking up. This is what life's about.
Love Ram Dass book called "Be here now" this music sounds like a Jon Brion score I love it peace thanks for sharing.
Beautiful.
Grazie mille grazie di cuore🌸🌸
I cry every time I listen to this. Love this so much.
This piece warm genius has saved my life since it came into my life a little over a year ago. I would not have made it out of the darkness without it. Thank you.
I just had a K session at a clinic. They named a few tracks from their playlist including this. I couldn't believe beloved Ram Dass was in the background. It made the session even more powerful. I was smiling and weeping to his beautiful voice and words in my ear.💜
Stay off drugs. Do the work yourself
I will never be thankful enough for all that your art and your music has helped me Jon. This words mean a lot to me right now. I'm struggling with painful situation right now. But this bring me peace, let's me remember I'm here and now. And that I'm the only one who can decide I let more pain in or more love in my life. Thank you.
💕🌠
Since I first heard this on KEXP's Pacific Notions show last week, it has become rather central to my sense of well-being. An extraordinary contribution.
Lovely work.
Totally had me in trance
beautiful original masterpiece, it will live for ever in our minds
So profound, the real work is our own inner connection. Leave the rest to themselves. In truth, they were never your responsibility in the first place. Love to your Spirit Baba. ❣️💜
The first piano chord literally gave me chills. Dude this music is a finest piece of art.
Yes, yes, yes!!! That you Jon, you always bring us the stuff we need in our lives.
I really enjoyed the conceptualization of sitting around the fire of our universe. It makes me smile!
