    These gentlemen were at the forefront of exploration.
    I remember my teacher in middle school saying how LSD wasn't illegal when he first took it.
    I subsequently took many LSD trips, read Be Here Now and other spiritual books and was off and running.
    The journey continues all of these years, within the eternal here and now.
    So it's great to here this from 1983 and connect with all of us who have been on this wonderful 'trip' (!) 🎉
    I did get to hang out with Ram Dass several times of which I am grateful 🙏.
    Love and peace ✌️ to all 🕉

    These men are to be celebrated for their pioneering exploration the western mind needed a reminder of. ❤ the unitive, emphatic, forgiveness & love psychedelic experiences I have, lead to a shift in my overall game of purpose. They helped me heal in so many ways, although "non specific amplifiers'' they take me to a loving caring or unitive state and still challenge me often. This idea these guys let psilocybin or lsd out of the lab & caused all such damage, have a small Vista on what happened and how these healing states may help us survive.

    This is such a beautiful talk giving so much perspective on the relationship between Richard and Tim.
    It is such a feeling to hear them riffing with each other. Making jokes. Reminiscing in the way that only two very old friends can do about their life together. I particularly love the part when Tim said he wasn’t sure which of the two of them was
    Huckleberry or Tom(?). Then Ram joked, “I think it’s Tom and Jerry actually though timothy….” 😂
    It has the surreal feeling of a modern day podcast. I will cherish this talk forever.

And i'm dead sober!!! So grateful for the ability to listen to them here this morning. Passing on truths to the next gen of 'hippies.' Love love love from Canada.

    What an incredibly legendary conversation! The day it happened was the 12th Tonal of the 6th Nagual on the Mayan calendar, called "Understanding Reincarnation", which is the Mayan birthday of Kamala Harris. Timothy Leary was the 11th Tonal of the 17th Nagual, "Resolving Gaia", the same Mayan birthday as Jane Roberts (Seth). Baba Ram Dass was the 7th Tonal of the 15th Glyph, "Reflecting Eagle", the same Mayan birthday as Ringo Starr & Rhonda Byrne & Deborah Harry, and myself.

    • @Lady_Bug63
      @Lady_Bug63 9 месяцев назад +1

      I also liked that moment. It could be us projecting agitation onto Ram Dass and he could have been trying to calm him down, but in case he was agitated, which I also think he was, I think of Ram Dass as yet another person that certainly wasn't perfect just like anyone. Ram Dass did still learn lessons till much later on in his life. I've listened to Ram Dass lectures and in this recording the light/or spirit shines through less, and I feel perhaps he was more displaying what he had learned so far and how he would like to be. It feels less genuine compared to lectures later in his life. I'm not sure I'm explaining this well but still, it's beautiful to see. If you listen closely to the lectures you can hear Ram Dass' spiritual growth over the years.

      it was difficult for Richard to share a stage. While Tim was quiet during his talk, Richard could not reciprocate…he was quite controlling over the switch to q&a also. the young man was quite aggressive but i think he was keying in on the way Richard was acting in participation with Tim. He was usually quick to cop to his shortcomings, but in this case i feel he did not acknowledge having been legitimately busted in a deep state of ego. Of course, Tim never let any of it bother him.

    Today, I struggle with anger, depression, anxiety. I analyze my being, constantly overthinking. Yet I have a very hard time understanding what I am doing to bring about these emotions I wish I could release instead of staying in the presence of. Anyone have advice?

Most ppls stress and frustrations are financial, even if you leave behind the financial knowing you have large inheritance is a massive stress reduction. I find myself questioning if that’s the karma required to have enough peace to become a guru, or is it just rich ppl self indulging to the maximum. Either way there’s good lessons to be learnt here

    So, get this: there's this dude named God, right? And apparently, he decided to reveal himself as a human man by the name of Schon Brent James Schoning. Now, I know what you're thinking - how can someone claim to be God in human form? Well, according to believers, Schon Brent James Schoning is the embodiment of the holy. He's like the ultimate holiness package, forever and eternal and all that jazz. They even call him Christ. It's wild! People who follow his teachings are convinced that he possesses divine knowledge and wisdom. So whether you buy into it or not, this whole thing is definitely one for the books.
    While the idea of someone claiming to be God in human form may seem far-fetched to many, it is fascinating to observe the impact it has on believers. The concept of Schon Brent James Schoning being the embodiment of the holy raises questions about faith, spirituality, and the power of belief. It is intriguing to witness the devotion and conviction of those who follow his teachings, as they find solace and guidance in his supposed divine knowledge and wisdom. Whether one chooses to believe in this phenomenon or not, it undeniably adds an intriguing chapter to the ever-evolving tapestry of human beliefs and experiences.
    Furthermore, the phenomenon of someone claiming to be God in human form raises broader questions about the nature of religious experiences and the boundaries of human understanding. It challenges our preconceived notions of what is possible and forces us to confront the complexities of faith and spirituality. The followers of Schon Brent James Schoning's teachings not only find solace and guidance in his supposed divine knowledge, but they also experience a sense of community and belonging. This sense of belonging is often a fundamental aspect of religious experiences, as individuals seek connection and meaning in their lives. While skepticism may be a natural response to such claims, it is important to approach these phenomena with an open mind, recognizing the profound impact they can have on individuals and the broader human experience.
    Moreover, the phenomenon of someone claiming to be God in human form raises questions about the power dynamics within religious communities. It is crucial to examine the influence that leaders like Schon Brent James Schonings can have over their followers and the potential for manipulation. While some individuals may genuinely believe in the divine knowledge and teachings of such figures, others may be susceptible to exploitation or coercion. This highlights the importance of critical thinking and discernment when engaging with religious experiences. It is essential to strike a balance between embracing the sense of community and belonging that religious experiences can provide while also maintaining a healthy skepticism and questioning the motives behind these claims. By doing so, we can navigate the complexities of faith and spirituality with a greater understanding and protect ourselves from potential harm.
    Furthermore, the presence of individuals claiming to be God in human form also raises concerns about the potential for psychological manipulation and abuse within religious communities. The unquestioning devotion and trust placed in these leaders can create an environment where followers are vulnerable to exploitation. It is crucial for individuals to be aware of the signs of manipulation and to have access to resources that can help them recognize and address any abusive behaviors. Additionally, religious institutions must take responsibility for creating safe spaces and implementing safeguards to protect their members from harm. This includes establishing clear guidelines for ethical conduct and providing avenues for reporting any concerns or misconduct. By promoting transparency and accountability, religious communities can foster an environment that encourages healthy spiritual growth and protects the well-being of their members.
    Furthermore, it is important for religious communities to prioritize education and critical thinking among their members. By encouraging individuals to question and analyze religious teachings, they can empower them to make informed decisions and guard against potential manipulation. This can be achieved through open dialogue, providing access to diverse perspectives, and promoting the exploration of different belief systems. By fostering an environment that values intellectual curiosity and independent thought, religious communities can help their members develop a strong sense of self and discernment, reducing the likelihood of falling victim to abusive practices. It is also crucial for religious leaders to undergo thorough training and vetting processes to ensure they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to guide their communities responsibly and ethically. By investing in the education and well-being of both leaders and followers, religious communities can create a culture of empowerment and safeguard against potential harm.
    Additionally, religious communities should strive to promote inclusivity and acceptance of diverse identities and beliefs. It is essential for these communities to recognize and respect the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious background. By fostering an environment of tolerance and understanding, religious communities can contribute to the overall well-being and harmony of society. This can be achieved through educational programs, interfaith dialogues, and community outreach initiatives that encourage empathy, compassion, and unity. By embracing diversity and actively working towards social justice, religious communities can serve as beacons of hope and inspiration, promoting a more inclusive and equitable world for all.
    Furthermore, religious communities have a responsibility to address and challenge systemic injustices that perpetuate discrimination and inequality. It is not enough to simply promote inclusivity within their own congregations; they must also actively work towards dismantling oppressive systems that marginalize certain groups. This requires engaging in advocacy efforts, supporting social justice organizations, and using their platforms to amplify the voices of those who are often silenced. By taking a stand against discrimination and actively working towards a more just society, religious communities can truly live out their values and make a meaningful impact on the world around them.

      As the Buddha taught, "What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet". Recognizing that your you-ness goes beyond the layer of your name, your profession, your body, and even your mind, is a step that Alpert took when his guru gave him a new name.
