Ram Dass you saved my life, I fell to my knees and suddenly found this teaching. I heard unconditional love, I felt it, I knew it, I trusted you. You forever changed me and everyone I know. I carry your love, and include you in all. Happy New Year, Doll, you are my Love.
I heard Wayne Dyer mention this man years ago but never bothered to look him up. It was the Alan Watts algorithms that brought me here and now...I'm speechless. Thank you Ram Dass for your timeless teachings brother. May you rest in peace.
OneSlo Gen3 🐟 00. PROLOGUE: On a Sunday evening about a year ago, a lawyer who earns hundreds of dollars per hour, visited a gambling house where he met a prostitute, scantily-clad in denim short pants and a boob-tube top. They shared a chicken salad and wine, then went home together, where they watched pornography and fornicated. The woman didn't use contraception (which the government of her country actively encourages), and so conceived a child. She quickly killed the foetus using the government's so-called "health" benefits scheme. Both the lawyer and the prostitute were completely untouched by ANY form of governmental prosecution. On the same day, a gentle monk sent an email to a police officer, telling him the truth about this world, and the truth about the above activities - that gambling, prostitution, transvestism, immodest dress, pornography, adultery, fornication, intoxication, and unnecessary killing of any living creature (whether animal, plant or human), are all abominable actions in the sight of God*, as they contradict His perfect and pure Law of Love. The monk was systematically persecuted by the government, beginning with lengthy interrogations, followed by false allegations against him, psychological assessment, incarceration on the grounds of mental instability, and finally, he was "legally" put to death (or to be more accurate, ASSASINATED by his own government - something which has been increasingly common since monarchy has been eradicated from the earth). Can you guess in which country the above is CURRENTLY occurring? China? Iran? North Korea? For the answer, see Chapter 22.

I’m starting to believe that my phone has become my guru. Every time I need something in my life my phone shows it on my notifications or pops up on RUclips. Amazing.
When I’m struggling with anxiety, I listen to his voice, and feel relief. He is still so present even though he has left the body he lived in during his recent incarnation.
Yeah- he's great for that...... I think because he constantly comes back to Death, the fear of Death and how to overcome... the fear of death is the root of all anxiety right? If we knew our immortality, what would there be to fear?
Man the last part of the lecture really hit me hard. I now want to work on being present with suffering. I have a tendancy to pull away when I encounter suffering.
I am so thankful for this man to have this incarnation, who has helped so many thousands of people and still after he has gone he is still able to help. Thankyou Ram Dass

Last year I worked at a local university and I had to escort a professor to one of the Theatres where she would be showing a video by Ram Dass (Becoming Nobody), as I sat there watching her set up the projector and testing everything for the class in the morning, she played a few minutes to make sure the audio and everything worked. As I listened to Ram talk I had asked the Professor who this guy was, and asked for more info. I am so glad I asked. Everything he says speaks to me in volumes.
Boy oh boy Ram sure was predicting what we are going through with this worldwide epidemic. Bless everyone at this great paradigm shift we are going through 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
10 minutes ago my stomach was hurting really bad and i got nausea and usually i get panicattacks when i get nauseous and now ram dass's voice really faded it away. lovely lovely lovely
Me too!! Last night I was feeling really 'off' (gastric and stress issues) and 'by accident' stumbled onto one of his talks (I listen to things on youtube while working) and I suddenly began crying, then sobbing (because I just love him so much. He moves me to tears always. It's a nice thing) ... and I felt such a release, so much relief!! I felt SO LOVED!! You had this experience when he was still in physical!! Just... 'coincidentally' I was (for HOURS) listening to him, while cleaning, the day he crossed over. (Holding space for his transitioning). As you said... lovely lovely lovely! So grateful!
fntime. You know, yes. I do. But since I went non-binary it gets confusing because it is difficult for me to admit that I have a cock. I am filled with guilt and remorse, and then my nipples explode. It's a problem.
Me too. I listen all night, and often fall asleep to his voice. Listen in the car, at work, when the family is watching rubbish on TV, I download his words. He is a genius.
Research has shown that doing random acts of kindness triggers the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood stability and oxytocin, a hormone that makes you feel connected to other people. Combined, this has the effect of making you feel loved and emotionally stable when you are frequently kind to others.
This channel brings in the best stuff. I'll have you know, I sleep with these. I listen to these around 2-3 am while before bed. It's like the Universe giving me a bedtime story.
hello Ram Dass comment section. Im hearing about the CEOs making 95 times the lowest wage workers and RD calling it ridiculous. I wonder what Beloved Ram Dass would say in today's world. Ram dass entering my life has been a tsunami wave of change and emotions including Maharaji-ji but i feel blessed to hear such wise beings that have words to share
Once again listening to this gem 💎 These talks are so RELEVANT during this era of rampant fear of “Pandemic” What a treat to see I listened and was moved by this 3 years ago. Ram Dass was a gift to us all
This man is the ORIGINAL 'Be Here Now' guy.... Watched the video of the Eckhart Tolle and Ram Dass dialogue following Ram Dass' stroke. He spoke more slowly and succinctly, but the SAME LOVE was OOZING out of him, STILL! RAM DASS, YOU ARE LOVED, and YOU ARE LOVE!
+Cheree Grant There is no ORIGINAL "be here now" teacher my dear. Living in the present is not a concept and not a patent or a copyright stuff. it is just the way we are meant to live. You didn't make any research on any other spiritual teachers obviously because there are many more spiritual teachers saying the same, and since you seem to like the one who are in the media then Deepask Chopra is another of them among many more. being in the now, the present is the way to live our lives if we want to be happy and stop suffering. Us human are limited physical being always wanting to create competition ( ergo "Original") That is what Echkart Tolle call the ego. Nobody can own the beingness. It is not a concept The bottom line is that any spiritual teacher want us to understand that happiness is up to us and we don't have to suffer. And the more we will have people like them the more people will have a chance on being simply happy so thanks to all of our dear spiritual teacher and welcome to all the new ones. Namaste
Cheree, do you understand that you are the bad person in every story.Don't remove your panties and think that's the ball game.You cheree, are the person who everyone hates! Even your 'people'hate your care less 'school girl' inattention.
@@shekhinah2185 Ok ok, I can see that, what political takes are you referencing though, cuz the dude seems pretty solid, he's not really on a political side, he's just about... logic lol
@@derrenmarcusturner408 Terence is great!! Check out his interviews with Jeffrey mishlove! It's great! Jordan is very profound but he has some blind spots in his thinking something similar to religious dogma. What Ram Dass call in this video as disfuncional mythologies.
I've come here for solace and wisdom, in time of war in my country. Trying to find my heart again, to find a perspective, a glimpse of a smile.. an observer's view on the horrible unfolding drama.. Thank you baba.. Peace to all beings. Now more than before.. war is hell.
I've heard Pete Holmes talk about Ram for years on his podcast and never actually took the time to listen to him. This is my first time and it's been really beautiful. Thank you Pete, thank you Ram, RIP.
@@xsuploader You can have an even more intimate connection with him; ask him to show himself to you, in your life. All I have to do is talk to him (I talk to him aloud) and then I get quiet and he answers. Open the door, he'll come in! (it's not your imagination. It's him). Blessings!
Bless you, Baba, in whatever realms you are currently floating in. Thank you, so so very much for taking my hand and leading me to Maharajji’s. I hold both of your hands forever.
This has helped me find peace in the face of severe despair and grief. To find peace in my unstable, traumatic life. To call my life perfect, a word I never thought I would use to describe it. Lately, I’ve been taking life a little too seriously. Getting a little too sucked in. Glad I found my way back, especially here on my dad’s death anniversary when I was going down bad rabbit holes. It’s all perfect. Be here now.
Thank you Ram Dass for the inspiration to continue working in an environment with sickness and death. I often feel helpless, or not able to do enough for them.... You reminded me that being present with a smile, is enough!
Was very powerful to listen to this today. As an old student of Ram Das from the Boston class many years ago it was powerful to hear how relevant this lecture Is even for today. I had the good fortune this past summer to visit Hari Das Babas ashram in British Columbia, and asked one of his students how it was for him after Hari Das passed - He said that he felt that he was even more accessible now then he was in his declining end time. He said he would just think of what he would do in situations and he was there for him. Listening to this talk brought all that back for me powerfully as well
Only Angela Lansbury 😂😂😂😂He had such a great sense of humour!!! Felt so much for him after the stroke , he went through all that so amazingly human and was still showing us so much !! ❤Love you Ram Dass 🥰🫂♥️. what is extraordinary for me is..i was just a child in Calcutta ,while all these things were going on and Ram Dass was there with Maharaji having all these experiences . Its so weird listening to all this now living alone ,in a far away country with all my karma and dharma going on . I left India in 1990. When i feel lost i alwass come back to listen to Ram Dass and feel my life is making some sense.. and how i too fall into the personality traps occasionally ,telling myself , i need this etc.. I dont know what happiness is ,but i am trying so hard to try and understand how am i supposed to live .. Immensely greatful to have Ram Dass and laugh with him ❤
Such beautiful interpretations of life and our existence within it all. Can only be classified as a mental "lifegasm" if you will. Wow! So grateful for all of your thoughts and wisdom on my journey. 😌🙏☕️💜
soooo Ram Dass was 63 years old here? he sounds so youthful I Love Baba Ram Dass and all his wonderful creations in this planet and beyond he puts wisdom together beautifully for the intellect
Ram Dass would probably lovingly scold me for mourning him still, but the influence this man has had on my life is immeasurable. He is my teacher, my guide, all but my guru as he would have rejected such an honour. His ability to communicate such esoteric and profound ideas through love and comedy is immaculate. In my heart there will always be space for Ram Dass, and hopefully his love and by extension the love of Maharaj-ji can radiate from my own heart and help me in the tough decisions I have before me in my messy little life.
I am listening to this talk only now, July, 2022, and nothing has changed. If anything, the chaos has amplified - wars, pandemic, natural disaster related to climate change, technology as the panacea. Elan Musk will save the planet! Thank you, BRD, for this ageless lesson that all this interesting chaos is grist for the mill of our awakening. I hope I wakeup tomorrow and remember. I must!
Paraphrased Ram Das "I remember being with Mahara Ji in Delhi and he's lying on his tucket; blanket fallin' off him. He doesn't have anything he doesn't do any thing..." Luv this dude!!! I saw him talk at the Episcopal Church in Palo Alto in the late 60's. He still has that spark of humanity in these lectures that transcends time and setting.
This message is prophetic & for today folks. We are facing a world wide choice between embracing love & light or darkness & chaos. I pray for the former but fear for the later. I realize I'm clinging to attractions & aversions, but would prefer to see a good outcome, so I obviously need to meditate further. Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
Thank you Ram Dass for sharing your humor, warmth and love-wisdom while here in the body. Wishes for passing into the light of love-wisdom in the time ahead.
So amazingly spot on, every word. Unbridled Greed is becoming our undoing, on so many levels. Accelerated is countless ways by technology. A titanic battle is underway between humans’ higher and lower impulses.
It blows me away how relevant this message is right now in our world with COVID, insurrection, world chaos, death all around us, etc. I listen to this message often to remind me of what is truly real (that I am an eternal spiritual BEing having a human experience in order to grow towards Universal Consciousness). In the meantime, I pray for our world that the Age of Aquarius is accelerated.
Ram Dass is a lovely teacher because he tells great stories that we can relate to...All grounded in his decades of PRACTICE. I enjoy listening to all his lectures from the 70's,80's and 90's... What a gift he is. Thank You for sharing this wisdom from your SPIRITUAL HEART.
This teaching was given 25 years ago. Yet, it is the ever-lasting truth. If we are going to save this world from all of its dysfunctions, we need to work from within (ourselves) first. Our emotions and imagining thoughts are all forms. Forms that feed our Ego. If everyone carries such ego, we are doomed to destroy each other, and everything around us. Only through mindfulness meditation can provide such insight - so we can have compassion and loving kindness for ourselves and each other. This is the true grace. It is not too late. If we want to see a better future for our children and grandchildren, we need to change ourselves NOW.
Thank you Ram Dass- I have learnt so much from you. You have taught me to be HERE NOW, whenever I get lost in the world, I keep hearing you saying-BE HERE NOW, which is the only reality I will ever experience.
He was such a brilliant teacher. He died in 2019 ..so he made it into very old age. If you mention his name very often people will say he took loads of drugs …. Such is the way of things for which we are all remembered. Everything comes to nothing in any life … best to not bitch but enjoy everything you can while you are here.
If only you were alive today Ram Das and see what your India has become ! Your words are such eyeopeners. They bring a lot of hope and peace. But they bring in deression too when infront of you lies the oceans full of work that needs to be done . Miss you Sir!
23 years later and this still applies more than ever. It's unfortunate to not be able to share with someone about non resistance without being pigeonholed.
Most do. If you or your kids are 'addicts' you'll learn that he will collect your due! This silly fool, smells shit with his nose and that's how he died.He killed his mother with 'bull shit'
Ram Dass' comment toward the end about the relationship between the "helper" and the "helpee" is a realization that I've had when I was a "helpee." Few "helpers" know how to help without symbolically emphasizing disconnection. Some "helpers" are actually just there to make themselves feel relationally better or because they're curious and the "helpees" are just an object of observation. Wounded healers are so important because they don't create disconnection through their help.
Angela is a 95 year old UK actor with a career that spanned 1943 - 2019. One of her Most famous stints was a TV series called Murder she wrote. She always seemed to play this rather estute, nebby yet dithery "old" lady who solved crimes and murders.
@@peterbuckley9731 hey that’s really sweet Peter! thank you:) I’ve actually found a really spiritually minded younger community here on Vancouver island, and I’m also involved with a few different organizations and networks. But a few beers never hurts 😜
I adore Angela Lansbury (she looks a little like my dear Grandma did) I was thinking just the other day if I had a TV one of my guilty pleasures might be watching the reruns of Murder She Wrote, (if they still do that) just because I get pure joy from the opening sequence where she does that little run, and I like part on her bike 2 🤣 My sis-in-law had mentioned her guilty pleasure in watching Neighbours so it got me thinking what mine might be 🤔 Anyway I’m quite curious as to what this reference is, although I think I may have listened before, bit of the autistic traits at play, I quite like re-remembering things, gives me comfort 🥰 If it wasn’t Murder She Wrote, my next in line would be the Dancing Dr Slone played by Dick Van Dyke in Diagnosis Murder 😳 he was another elder character who went about sleuthing in his spare time. 💖 ;;xD

Victor Dell 🐟 22. NON-MONARCHICAL GOVERNANCE: COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM is intrinsically evil, because it reduces individual citizens to utilities, who, in practice, are used to support the ruling elite, who are invariably despotic scoundrels, and very far from ideal leaders (i.e. compassionate and righteous monarchs). Those citizens who display talent in business or the arts are either oppressed or their talents are coercively utilized by the corrupt state. Wealth is literally stolen from the rich. Spiritual teachings are repressed by the irreligious and illegitimate government.
DEMOCRACY is evil, because, just as the rabble favoured the murderous Barabbas over the good King Jesus, the ignorant masses will invariably vote for the candidate which promises to fulfil their inane desires, rather than one which will enforce the law and promote a just and wholesome society. Even in the miraculous scenario where the overwhelming majority of the population are holy and righteous citizens, it is still wrong for them to vote for a seemingly-righteous leader. This is because that leader will not be, by definition, a king. As clearly and logically explicated in the previous paragraph of this Holy Scripture, MONARCHY is the only form of government. If an elected ruler is truly righteous, he will not be able to condone the fact that the citizens are paying him to perform a job (which is a working-class role), and that an inordinate amount of time, money and resources are being wasted on political campaigning. The thought of children voting for who will be their parents or teachers, would seem RIDICULOUS to the average person, yet most believe that they are qualified to choose their own ruler. They are most assuredly not. Just as the typical child fails to understand that a piece of sweet, juicy, healthy, delicious fruit is more beneficial to them than a cone of pus-infested, fattening, diabetes-inducing ice-cream, so too can the uneducated proletariat not understand that they are unqualified to choose their own leader, even after it is logically explained to them (as it is in this chapter, as well as the previous chapter). And by “uneducated”, it is meant misguided in the realities of life and in righteous living (“dharma, in Sanskrit”), not in facts and figures or in technical training. To put it frankly, democracy is rule by the “lowest common denominator”.
It should be obvious that ANARCHY can never ever succeed, because even the smallest possible social unit (the nuclear family) requires a dominator. Any family will fall-apart without a strict male household head. The same paradigm applies to the extended family, which depends on a strong patriarchal figure (the eldest or most senior male). Likewise with clans, tribes, villages, towns, cities, and nations. Unfortunately, there are many otherwise-intelligent persons who honestly believe that an ENTIRE country can smoothly run without a leader in place. Any sane person can easily understand that even a nuclear family is unable to function properly without a head of the house, what to speak of a populous nation. The reason for their distrust of any kind of government is due to the corrupt nature of democratic governments, and the adulteration of the monarchy in recent centuries, but if anarchists were to understand that most all “kings/queens” in recent centuries were not even close to being true monarchs, they may change their stance on that inane 'system'.
Most of the problems in human society are directly or indirectly attributable to this relatively modern phenomenon (non-monarchies), since it is the government’s role and sacred duty to enforce the law. Read Chapter 12 to lean the most accurate understanding of law, morality and ethics. One of the many sinister characteristics of democracy, socialism, and other evil forms of governance, is the desire for their so-called “leaders” to attempt to control, or at least influence, the private lives of every single citizen. For example, in the wicked, decadent nations in which this holy scripture was composed, The Philippine Islands and The Southland (or 'Australia', as it is known in the Latin tongue), the DEMONIC governments try, and largely succeed, in controlling the rights of parents to properly raise, discipline and punish their children according to their own morals, compulsory vaccination of infants, enforcing feminist ideology, limiting legitimate powers an employer has over his servants, subsidizing animal agriculture, persecuting religious leaders (even to imprisonment and death, believe it or not), and even trying to influence what people eat and wear. Not that a government shouldn’t control what its citizens wear in public, but it should ensure that they are MODESTLY dressed, according to the guidelines outlined in Chapter 28, which is hardly the case in Australia, the Philippines, and similar nations. At least ninety-nine per cent of Filipinas, for instance, are transvestinal, despite Philippines pretending to be a religious nation. Basically, the worst of the non-monarchical governments promote (or at least permit) ALL things contrary to God’s perfect and pure will, such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, gambling (even running lotteries themselves), illegitimate abortion of poor innocent unborn children, irreligion, drug addiction, disrespect for authority, and promoting materialism and ignorance via a powerful network of institutions of miseducation (so-called “schools, colleges and universities”). Their aim is to produce a population of indoctrinated citizens who have been conditioned to serve the state and its perverse agendas. Even though non-monarchical leaders are committing a criminal act by ordering the persecution of its citizens, or instigating war on another nation, the police and military personnel who execute their orders are equally (if not MORE) guilty of their dirty deeds. Even if a non-monarchical government punishes a criminal, that in itself is a criminal act, because it has absolutely no authority to do so. That is akin to a baby punishing its mother for theft, when it is actually the role of the infant's father to enact disciplinary action upon the woman in question. For the past few centuries, most of the earth has been controlled by a CABAL of men comprising of extremely wealthy businessmen (particularly bankers) and so-called religious leaders (those who command a huge following). Ironically, some of these elite businessmen instigate a pseudo-socialist government within their nations, so that they themselves can control the financial system for their selfish goals. This planet is surely doomed, unless the most pernicious institutions ever known to man (democracy, socialism and communism), are replaced by the ONLY legitimate form of government (monarchy - ideally a holy monarch, though even a mediocre king is preferable to being ruled by an elected official or a sociopathic megalomaniac, who could almost never be a righteous ruler). Let it be known, however - non-monarchical rule can not and will not endure. Once society has devolved to such a debased level where it can no longer survive intact, the natural-born kings of the earth shall arise and regain their rightful place at the head of each and every nation. The truth shall surely triumph (“satyam-eva jayate”, in Sanskrit). “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” Samuel Langhorne Clemens (AKA Mark Twain), American writer. “The only reason why a person has an issue with anyone else’s power, is because they feel powerless”. Mrs. Teal Swan, American Spiritual Teacher.
If people would only listen and be able to understand these kinds of teachings... life would be so much better for them... its not a miracle, wouldnt magically fix everything, but would make their life a lot easier, and happier.
Rest in peace Ram Dass. I have found your teachings very inspiring and I feel blessed I have had the chance to come in contact with them. I will miss you greatly even though I never got to meet you in person... YAM 🙏 ❤

This is wisdom that needs to come to the surface right now. Flexibility and compassion are so important in this moment.🙏

One man’s “wisdom” is another man’s IGNORANCE. 😉

This is the first time I’ve listened to Ram,
Incredible I’m moved
Me, too
I’ve been binge listening to all his lectures. So great, and this one is especially fitting in the chaos of 2020.
I have a lot of gratitude to the person who led me to this man. I have learned so much. And yes, I sometimes listen to him all night long.
fntime. You know, yes. I do. But since I went non-binary it gets confusing because it is difficult for me to admit that I have a cock. I am filled with guilt and remorse, and then my nipples explode. It's a problem.
Brian Moodhe me too
well, you defeated the troll lol. You gain 50 exp
Me 2.
Me too. I listen all night, and often fall asleep to his voice. Listen in the car, at work, when the family is watching rubbish on TV, I download his words. He is a genius.
Research has shown that doing random acts of kindness triggers the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood stability and oxytocin, a hormone that makes you feel connected to other people. Combined, this has the effect of making you feel loved and emotionally stable when you are frequently kind to others.
This channel brings in the best stuff.
I'll have you know, I sleep with these. I listen to these around 2-3 am while before bed.
It's like the Universe giving me a bedtime story.
Me too :)
i'm not alone! yes yes me too :)
Me too ! :) :)
It's the best!
Me too!
hello Ram Dass comment section. Im hearing about the CEOs making 95 times the lowest wage workers and RD calling it ridiculous. I wonder what Beloved Ram Dass would say in today's world. Ram dass entering my life has been a tsunami wave of change and emotions including Maharaji-ji but i feel blessed to hear such wise beings that have words to share
love his silent pauses between thoughts.....
marie faulkner I swear! You can literally feel the stillness within him
Once again listening to this gem 💎 These talks are so RELEVANT during this era of rampant fear of “Pandemic”
What a treat to see I listened and was moved by this 3 years ago.
Ram Dass was a gift to us all
Pandemic in quotes?!!!
This man is the ORIGINAL 'Be Here Now' guy.... Watched the video of the Eckhart Tolle and Ram Dass dialogue following Ram Dass' stroke. He spoke more slowly and succinctly, but the SAME LOVE was OOZING out of him, STILL! RAM DASS, YOU ARE LOVED, and YOU ARE LOVE!
+Cheree Grant There is no ORIGINAL "be here now" teacher my dear. Living in the present is not a concept and not a patent or a copyright stuff. it is just the way we are meant to live. You didn't make any research on any other spiritual teachers obviously because there are many more spiritual teachers saying the same, and since you seem to like the one who are in the media then Deepask Chopra is another of them among many more. being in the now, the present is the way to live our lives if we want to be happy and stop suffering. Us human are limited physical being always wanting to create competition ( ergo "Original") That is what Echkart Tolle call the ego. Nobody can own the beingness. It is not a concept
The bottom line is that any spiritual teacher want us to understand that happiness is up to us and we don't have to suffer. And the more we will have people like them the more people will have a chance on being simply happy so thanks to all of our dear spiritual teacher and welcome to all the new ones.
Namaste
Solange Kiema? Why shame someone?
Solange Geez, chill out. It was just a complement. Your response was a self serving hate rant.
Deepak Chopra is not a spiritual teacher.
Cheree, do you understand that you are the bad person in every story.Don't remove your panties and think that's the ball game.You cheree, are the person who everyone hates! Even your 'people'hate your care less 'school girl' inattention.
The most articulate person you will ever hear wisdom from.
Alan Watts tho
Wim Hof, Terrence McKenna, and Jordan Peterson
@@shekhinah2185 it would take someone as stupid as "Jar Jar" to say that LMFAO 🤣
@@shekhinah2185 Ok ok, I can see that, what political takes are you referencing though, cuz the dude seems pretty solid, he's not really on a political side, he's just about... logic lol
@@derrenmarcusturner408 Terence is great!! Check out his interviews with Jeffrey mishlove! It's great! Jordan is very profound but he has some blind spots in his thinking something similar to religious dogma.
What Ram Dass call in this video as disfuncional mythologies.
I've come here for solace and wisdom, in time of war in my country.
Trying to find my heart again, to find a perspective, a glimpse of a smile.. an observer's view on the horrible unfolding drama..
Thank you baba..
Peace to all beings. Now more than before.. war is hell.
How are you today? So much love from me to you… to everyone 💓❤️🩹💓
Wow!! Just amazing, how he lighten the room with laughter and then suddenly dive into deep water and explains the crux of life. Jai Baba Neem Karori
I've heard Pete Holmes talk about Ram for years on his podcast and never actually took the time to listen to him. This is my first time and it's been really beautiful. Thank you Pete, thank you Ram, RIP.
I am so grateful to be here now, at the same time on this planet as Ram Dass. What a precious soul he is!
I wish I knew him while he was alive
now hes dead and I just discovered him
@@xsuploader You can have an even more intimate connection with him; ask him to show himself to you, in your life. All I have to do is talk to him (I talk to him aloud) and then I get quiet and he answers. Open the door, he'll come in! (it's not your imagination. It's him). Blessings!
@@andreaandrea6716 Youre crazy.
I like crazy.
@@xsuploader Yeah. Good crazy. And you've heard what HE's said about HIS 'imaginary friend' !?!
Let me know if (when) you hear from him!
@@andreaandrea6716 I think Ram dass was little crazy too or at least way too obsessed with his guru.
Bless you, Baba, in whatever realms you are currently floating in. Thank you, so so very much for taking my hand and leading me to Maharajji’s. I hold both of your hands forever.
This has helped me find peace in the face of severe despair and grief. To find peace in my unstable, traumatic life. To call my life perfect, a word I never thought I would use to describe it.
Lately, I’ve been taking life a little too seriously. Getting a little too sucked in. Glad I found my way back, especially here on my dad’s death anniversary when I was going down bad rabbit holes.
It’s all perfect. Be here now.
Thank you Ram Dass for the inspiration to continue working in an environment with sickness and death. I often feel helpless, or not able to do enough for them.... You reminded me that being present with a smile, is enough!
“Don’t hold on to the glow; nothing will kill it faster.” Wow.
We at the channel appreciate his many many small wisdoms just like this!
Was very powerful to listen to this today. As an old student of Ram Das from the Boston class many years ago it was powerful to hear how relevant this lecture Is even for today. I had the good fortune this past summer to visit Hari Das Babas ashram in British Columbia, and asked one of his students how it was for him after Hari Das passed - He said that he felt that he was even more accessible now then he was in his declining end time. He said he would just think of what he would do in situations and he was there for him. Listening to this talk brought all that back for me powerfully as well
I entered the most lucid astral dream of my recent life listening to baba the other day. So ripe.
Only Angela Lansbury 😂😂😂😂He had such a great sense of humour!!! Felt so much for him after the stroke , he went through all that so amazingly human and was still showing us so much !! ❤Love you Ram Dass 🥰🫂♥️. what is extraordinary for me is..i was just a child in Calcutta ,while all these things were going on and Ram Dass was there with Maharaji having all these experiences . Its so weird listening to all this now living alone ,in a far away country with all my karma and dharma going on . I left India in 1990. When i feel lost i alwass come back to listen to Ram Dass and feel my life is making some sense.. and how i too fall into the personality traps occasionally ,telling myself , i need this etc.. I dont know what happiness is ,but i am trying so hard to try and understand how am i supposed to live .. Immensely greatful to have Ram Dass and laugh with him ❤
Such beautiful interpretations of life and our existence within it all. Can only be classified as a mental "lifegasm" if you will. Wow! So grateful for all of your thoughts and wisdom on my journey. 😌🙏☕️💜
soooo Ram Dass was 63 years old here?
he sounds so youthful
I Love
Baba Ram Dass
and all his wonderful creations in this planet and beyond
he puts wisdom together beautifully for the intellect
Timeless, so ageless!
Because it was just after he hit puberty 😉😋
At first I didn’t get or enjoy listening to Ram Dass, but now, as I grow, I am in awe of his message and how much love is behind his message. Peace ✌️
thank you.. you feel like the father I never had and the crying laugh of my heart.
Reminds me of the Dessert Fathers. Wisdom that only comes from detachment and silence. 🙏
Universe bedtime stories. Love it!
One never tires of hearing RD's stories, over and over, and hears something new every time.
Yes…every time something new❤️
जय माँ महाराज जी
I was past 60 when I was asked my age because I requested a wheelchair. I was told that I had to be 60 to get a wheelchair. I was 65. I felt pleased!
Ram Dass would probably lovingly scold me for mourning him still, but the influence this man has had on my life is immeasurable. He is my teacher, my guide, all but my guru as he would have rejected such an honour. His ability to communicate such esoteric and profound ideas through love and comedy is immaculate. In my heart there will always be space for Ram Dass, and hopefully his love and by extension the love of Maharaj-ji can radiate from my own heart and help me in the tough decisions I have before me in my messy little life.
One of his finest - major gratitude ❤️🙏🏼🕉️
I am listening to this talk only now, July, 2022, and nothing has changed. If anything, the chaos has amplified - wars, pandemic, natural disaster related to climate change, technology as the panacea. Elan Musk will save the planet! Thank you, BRD, for this ageless lesson that all this interesting chaos is grist for the mill of our awakening. I hope I wakeup tomorrow and remember. I must!
Don’t put too much faith in an occultist billionaire
Paraphrased Ram Das "I remember being with Mahara Ji in Delhi and he's lying on his tucket; blanket fallin' off him. He doesn't have anything he doesn't do any thing..." Luv this dude!!! I saw him talk at the Episcopal Church in Palo Alto in the late 60's. He still has that spark of humanity in these lectures that transcends time and setting.
This is so fitting as I listen in the collapsed of 2020. ☮️
This message is prophetic & for today folks. We are facing a world wide choice between embracing love & light or darkness & chaos. I pray for the former but fear for the later. I realize I'm clinging to attractions & aversions, but would prefer to see a good outcome, so I obviously need to meditate further. Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.
OMG !!! Wisdom and humor at the same time !!! ...Love it !
The universe has brought me here and I am filled with love in doing so.
Thank you Ram Dass for sharing your humor, warmth and love-wisdom while here in the body. Wishes for passing into the light of love-wisdom in the time ahead.
Thank you for helping me to go on in this crazy world, I love you Ram Dass.
All of these comments are beautiful & are filling my eyes with tears & my heart with warmth.
So amazingly spot on, every word. Unbridled Greed is becoming our undoing, on so many levels. Accelerated is countless ways by technology. A titanic battle is underway between humans’ higher and lower impulses.
Ram Dass as all of us has a spark of the divine. You're all as profound and as beautiful as he is
It blows me away how relevant this message is right now in our world with COVID, insurrection, world chaos, death all around us, etc. I listen to this message often to remind me of what is truly real (that I am an eternal spiritual BEing having a human experience in order to grow towards Universal Consciousness). In the meantime, I pray for our world that the Age of Aquarius is accelerated.
Thank you Ram Dass for the difference you made in this world. I am still listening to your wonderful lectures.
this man is such an awakened brilliant genius. words cant express how much this resonated with me.
Ram Dass is a lovely teacher because he tells great stories that we can relate to...All grounded in his decades of PRACTICE. I enjoy listening to all his lectures from the 70's,80's and 90's... What a gift he is. Thank You for sharing this wisdom from your SPIRITUAL HEART.
Love u RamDass. The world needs more ppl like him!!!!!
The simplicity of how Ram Dass shares wisdom is a joy to behold. Go forth and shine you light in your new home.
Forty minutes on is just timeless wisdom about being joyful and practice equanimity where we could . be fearful and curl.
Timothy Colman
what is this “EQUANIMITY” of which you speak? 🤔
This teaching was given 25 years ago. Yet, it is the ever-lasting truth. If we are going to save this world from all of its dysfunctions, we need to work from within (ourselves) first. Our emotions and imagining thoughts are all forms. Forms that feed our Ego. If everyone carries such ego, we are doomed to destroy each other, and everything around us. Only through mindfulness meditation can provide such insight - so we can have compassion and loving kindness for ourselves and each other. This is the true grace. It is not too late. If we want to see a better future for our children and grandchildren, we need to change ourselves NOW.
You are with me every night, my nightly return to bliss, refuge and reminder. Love serve remember
Thanks Ram Dass. Love you brother
true talk pointings. May Grace always keep you safe wherever you are! Blessings
Thank you Ram Dass- I have learnt so much from you. You have taught me to be HERE NOW, whenever I get lost in the world, I keep hearing you saying-BE HERE NOW, which is the only reality I will ever experience.
ram dass: everything i say, u already knew....me: learning like 20 new things in 1hour here......
Rest in peace, Ram Dass. We will have your teachings and guidance forever, thank you.
This talk was prophetic. We're in deep chaos now...2022.
2023 even deeper Chaos
He was such a brilliant teacher. He died in 2019 ..so he made it into very old age. If you mention his name very often people will say he took loads of drugs …. Such is the way of things for which we are all remembered. Everything comes to nothing in any life … best to not bitch but enjoy everything you can while you are here.
If only you were alive today Ram Das and see what your India has become !
Your words are such eyeopeners.
They bring a lot of hope and peace.
But they bring in deression too when infront of you lies the oceans full of work that needs to be done .
Miss you Sir!
🧡love you ram dass🧡
Listening in todays world... 2021 .wow..
( Time stamp, around 30 mins ) 😯😕
Thankyou Ram Das ..wherever you are ❤
The final..Ram it left me without words..thanks for everything to you and Terence..
23 years later and this still applies more than ever. It's unfortunate to not be able to share with someone about non resistance without being pigeonholed.
Amazing lecture. extraordinary ... because everybody is the Goddess in drag!

Most do. If you or your kids are 'addicts' you'll learn that he will collect your due! This silly fool, smells shit with his nose and that's how he died.He killed his mother with 'bull shit'

Ram Dass' comment toward the end about the relationship between the "helper" and the "helpee" is a realization that I've had when I was a "helpee." Few "helpers" know how to help without symbolically emphasizing disconnection. Some "helpers" are actually just there to make themselves feel relationally better or because they're curious and the "helpees" are just an object of observation. Wounded healers are so important because they don't create disconnection through their help.
I’m 19 and somehow laughing at an angela Lansbury reference. I don’t know who Angela Lansbury is. Such grace
Angela is a 95 year old UK actor with a career that spanned 1943 - 2019. One of her Most famous stints was a TV series called Murder she wrote. She always seemed to play this rather estute, nebby yet dithery "old" lady who solved crimes and murders.
I love you are on this at 19. Please tell your friends, buy them beers.. whatever it takes :) Keep waking Daniel.
@@peterbuckley9731 hey that’s really sweet Peter! thank you:) I’ve actually found a really spiritually minded younger community here on Vancouver island, and I’m also involved with a few different organizations and networks. But a few beers never hurts 😜
@@Alligator6002 mm that’s interesting. Thanks for sharing Ronnie! Always cool to put on the time travelling goggles for a minute.
I adore Angela Lansbury (she looks a little like my dear Grandma did) I was thinking just the other day if I had a TV one of my guilty pleasures might be watching the reruns of Murder She Wrote, (if they still do that) just because I get pure joy from the opening sequence where she does that little run, and I like part on her bike 2 🤣
My sis-in-law had mentioned her guilty pleasure in watching Neighbours so it got me thinking what mine might be 🤔
Anyway I’m quite curious as to what this reference is, although I think I may have listened before, bit of the autistic traits at play, I quite like re-remembering things, gives me comfort 🥰
If it wasn’t Murder She Wrote, my next in line would be the Dancing Dr Slone played by Dick Van Dyke in Diagnosis Murder 😳 he was another elder character who went about sleuthing in his spare time. 💖 ;;xD
It’s Covid-19 time. Listen to this now. 🤗🌸💕🌸🙏🏽🤙🏼🌴

🐟 22. NON-MONARCHICAL GOVERNANCE:
COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM is intrinsically evil, because it reduces individual citizens to utilities, who, in practice, are used to support the ruling elite, who are invariably despotic scoundrels, and very far from ideal leaders (i.e. compassionate and righteous monarchs). Those citizens who display talent in business or the arts are either oppressed or their talents are coercively utilized by the corrupt state. Wealth is literally stolen from the rich. Spiritual teachings are repressed by the irreligious and illegitimate government.
DEMOCRACY is evil, because, just as the rabble favoured the murderous Barabbas over the good King Jesus, the ignorant masses will invariably vote for the candidate which promises to fulfil their inane desires, rather than one which will enforce the law and promote a just and wholesome society.
Even in the miraculous scenario where the overwhelming majority of the population are holy and righteous citizens, it is still wrong for them to vote for a seemingly-righteous leader. This is because that leader will not be, by definition, a king. As clearly and logically explicated in the previous paragraph of this Holy Scripture, MONARCHY is the only form of government. If an elected ruler is truly righteous, he will not be able to condone the fact that the citizens are paying him to perform a job (which is a working-class role), and that an inordinate amount of time, money and resources are being wasted on political campaigning.
The thought of children voting for who will be their parents or teachers, would seem RIDICULOUS to the average person, yet most believe that they are qualified to choose their own ruler. They are most assuredly not. Just as the typical child fails to understand that a piece of sweet, juicy, healthy, delicious fruit is more beneficial to them than a cone of pus-infested, fattening, diabetes-inducing ice-cream, so too can the uneducated proletariat not understand that they are unqualified to choose their own leader, even after it is logically explained to them (as it is in this chapter, as well as the previous chapter). And by “uneducated”, it is meant misguided in the realities of life and in righteous living (“dharma, in Sanskrit”), not in facts and figures or in technical training.
To put it frankly, democracy is rule by the “lowest common denominator”.
It should be obvious that ANARCHY can never ever succeed, because even the smallest possible social unit (the nuclear family) requires a dominator. Any family will fall-apart without a strict male household head. The same paradigm applies to the extended family, which depends on a strong patriarchal figure (the eldest or most senior male). Likewise with clans, tribes, villages, towns, cities, and nations.
Unfortunately, there are many otherwise-intelligent persons who honestly believe that an ENTIRE country can smoothly run without a leader in place. Any sane person can easily understand that even a nuclear family is unable to function properly without a head of the house, what to speak of a populous nation. The reason for their distrust of any kind of government is due to the corrupt nature of democratic governments, and the adulteration of the monarchy in recent centuries, but if anarchists were to understand that most all “kings/queens” in recent centuries were not even close to being true monarchs, they may change their stance on that inane 'system'.
Most of the problems in human society are directly or indirectly attributable to this relatively modern phenomenon (non-monarchies), since it is the government’s role and sacred duty to enforce the law. Read Chapter 12 to lean the most accurate understanding of law, morality and ethics.
One of the many sinister characteristics of democracy, socialism, and other evil forms of governance, is the desire for their so-called “leaders” to attempt to control, or at least influence, the private lives of every single citizen. For example, in the wicked, decadent nations in which this holy scripture was composed, The Philippine Islands and The Southland (or 'Australia', as it is known in the Latin tongue), the DEMONIC governments try, and largely succeed, in controlling the rights of parents to properly raise, discipline and punish their children according to their own morals, compulsory vaccination of infants, enforcing feminist ideology, limiting legitimate powers an employer has over his servants, subsidizing animal agriculture, persecuting religious leaders (even to imprisonment and death, believe it or not), and even trying to influence what people eat and wear.
Not that a government shouldn’t control what its citizens wear in public, but it should ensure that they are MODESTLY dressed, according to the guidelines outlined in Chapter 28, which is hardly the case in Australia, the Philippines, and similar nations. At least ninety-nine per cent of Filipinas, for instance, are transvestinal, despite Philippines pretending to be a religious nation.
Basically, the worst of the non-monarchical governments promote (or at least permit) ALL things contrary to God’s perfect and pure will, such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, gambling (even running lotteries themselves), illegitimate abortion of poor innocent unborn children, irreligion, drug addiction, disrespect for authority, and promoting materialism and ignorance via a powerful network of institutions of miseducation (so-called “schools, colleges and universities”). Their aim is to produce a population of indoctrinated citizens who have been conditioned to serve the state and its perverse agendas.
Even though non-monarchical leaders are committing a criminal act by ordering the persecution of its citizens, or instigating war on another nation, the police and military personnel who execute their orders are equally (if not MORE) guilty of their dirty deeds. Even if a non-monarchical government punishes a criminal, that in itself is a criminal act, because it has absolutely no authority to do so. That is akin to a baby punishing its mother for theft, when it is actually the role of the infant's father to enact disciplinary action upon the woman in question.
For the past few centuries, most of the earth has been controlled by a CABAL of men comprising of extremely wealthy businessmen (particularly bankers) and so-called religious leaders (those who command a huge following). Ironically, some of these elite businessmen instigate a pseudo-socialist government within their nations, so that they themselves can control the financial system for their selfish goals.
This planet is surely doomed, unless the most pernicious institutions ever known to man (democracy, socialism and communism), are replaced by the ONLY legitimate form of government (monarchy - ideally a holy monarch, though even a mediocre king is preferable to being ruled by an elected official or a sociopathic megalomaniac, who could almost never be a righteous ruler).
Let it be known, however - non-monarchical rule can not and will not endure. Once society has devolved to such a debased level where it can no longer survive intact, the natural-born kings of the earth shall arise and regain their rightful place at the head of each and every nation.
The truth shall surely triumph (“satyam-eva jayate”, in Sanskrit).

If people would only listen and be able to understand these kinds of teachings... life would be so much better for them... its not a miracle, wouldnt magically fix everything, but would make their life a lot easier, and happier.
Still alive dude! Your presence as tangible as the phone I'm listening on. I snorted coffee down my nose about the 5 second skin. ☕👃😂💚🇮🇪💚
Extremely relevant now in pandemic time. 16 years ago Ram Dass your wisdom shines so bright and thank you for your humor.
This talk is even more relevant in 2022.
2024
I m so thankful to have been lead here . I don’t know how exactly it came to be . But, needed to hear this .
Rest in peace Ram Dass. I have found your teachings very inspiring and I feel blessed I have had the chance to come in contact with them. I will miss you greatly even though I never got to meet you in person... YAM 🙏 ❤
Thanks!
