[@InsectElfMachines]

nope that’s your ego playing another trick on yourself 😵‍💫

[@josephagathen354]

I already knew that.

[@jenmdawg]

Wow.. This is a hard listen in so many ways: “it doesn’t matter”
And yet it’s also so simple because it all matters.

[@cecilcharlesofficial]

It’s not that “It doesn’t matter,” it’s that you’re not in control of what you do. “It doesn’t matter” leads to the belief that any action can still be that positive feeling that you desire (called “good”). But that simply isn’t true - you always judge life, even if your conscience is clouded. The path of liberation (not from consequence, not from meaning, not from guilt)… is seeing that choice is the illusion. Not just for magical gurus who can see the future, but because none of us choose any thought, nor how said thought makes us feel. And that’s basically all of experience and what motivates us to act. And we’re pretty darn good at it, too, considering this thing called choice doesn’t actually exist. But we do learn. And our conscience never leaves us. So let go, have faith, and see who you become.

This comment is to peacefully protest the gatekeeping of RD’s lectures. Common complaints as clarified by the community on the Ram Dass subreddit are as follows.
Removal of content, privatizing/licensing out content, copyright striking others who post content without replacing what was removed or providing another means to access the content.
Restriction of what is released, cutting and editing pieces of full lectures and not releasing the full lectures themselves.
Putting a paywall in place that provides access to still limited content.
Access to content is overall severely limited compared to just a year or two ago.

[@IAMHEALEDPODCAST]

I agree I ran Compassion Up On You Tube.. I had over 100 GREAT videos on Ram Dass Lectures etc.. They shut the channel down that was serving soo many .. Perhaps because it was wayyy outranking their own produced videos, doesnt seem like Ram Dass would agree on this type of actions.. Oh well I still love them all and love Ram Dass.... RAM RAM .. Namaste.. Dustin Seva :)

[@middleofnowhere1313]

Nowadays it's all about monetizing, hustle, etc. Especially watch out for those who pretend to be loving and helpful only to bait and switch you with a cash grab. 2023 is the year of the narcissist it seems.

Does anyone have references to where to read or learn more about Ram Dass's remarks on the fourth and fifth chakra?

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

Admin here (now) - have you checked out his book 'The Only Dance There Is' ? I remember some excellent commentary in there!

[@clinkzenn]
