A week ago I did a ram dass meditation on self love and I burst into tears seconds before he started to om. I felt something I forgave myself for not loving me for over 2 decades. Nothing any paid therapist I’ve been to has been able to do.! 😂And strange thing about it was I had no idea he was going to do that meditation in this particular lecture I had put on. Thanks for letting me share.
Wow. I have had these shifts myself - some become instant and permanent and some fade but that I’ve experienced it has always changed me in a powerful way. Ram gets me in ways no one else has and then that “me” I’ve clung to or believed in gives way to peace. Your comment makes me happy.
Been here a couple times. He did a loving awareness meditation and it left like I was in that room and could feel his presence, the tears just came and I unloaded alot I had kept in. Ram Dass has had a huge impact on my life through these lectures and meditations.
I am British and I bought Be Here Now back in what would be around 1972 - 1974. It had a dramatic effect on my life. Together with this book, I also read the other book that would change my thinking for a lifetime, Paramahansa Yogandanda's Autobiography of a Yogi. So, together, two enlightened beings that I still idolize after what, about 50 years!! Bless you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
...around the same time, early 70s in liverpool, my guru came into my path, turning me on. Be here now was such a lovely thing to have to help me along. It's nice to know someone else feels the wow of now 50 years on.
You are too attached with the label they put on the piece of land in which you happen to be experiencing human form. Just kidding. God bless your experience 🙏.
I read Be Here Now when I was 13. Then in High School as part of a School Within a School, an alternative program, we had Ram Dass come and speak. We sat with eyes closed and suddenly- there was his voice- powerful (!) Then I heard him 'speak' at the Scottish Rite Temple in Oakland- wonderful (!) Then at a small building in Marin. When it was over I was standing outside, and he got into a Volkswagen Bug and as they pulled away our eyes met and it was so beautiful- here-now- being recognizing being, consciousness recognizing consciousness. 🎉 Gratitude 🙏 Baba 🕉
Pure gratitude 🙏 I was able to see him speak in Maui just by random chance and the experience of the entire room being present with him was unbelievable
Wonderful! I read the book at a scary time in my life (1972) and suddenly, things clicked. I got to go be in his presence 4 times. I wrote a poem, "Your Dance of Life has beamed across my sleep...." I hope we meet again.
It bums me out these kids with the phones, they have access to unlimited knowledge, books, history, etc... And they're using it for TikTok and social media garbage!
Isn't it amazing to have taken birth in this time though? I mean we get all of Ram Dass, Alan Watts, and the greatest spiritual teachings at our fingertips. This is the new Ashram.
@@pickle4183 I never underestimate the power and NEED of control that the powers that be need... I'm turning 44 and the amount of effort, money, manipulation, calculation, that's gone into changing the world to fit their schemes is insane. The year 2000 is unrecognizable! And that was only 23 yrs ago. Imagine another 23...
love all of the third patriarch talk in this one, a teacher just gave me a copy of "verses on the faith mind" recently and ram dass' explanation here is so good
I got caught in a gigantic fear trap recently. Ram Dass popped me out of it. Thanks Ram Dass. I needed the reminder. I'm listening to everything again now. It's been years. 💖💗💐📿🙏
In the beginning I felt to be as conscious as I could be. I went deeply into this. A time came when I felt to let consciousness have 'me'. Then.............................. 🕉 Everything Is here now. In awareness I know that I am nothing. In love I know that I am everything. -Nisargadatta Maharaj
This is such an important talk, i like a lot of people end up wondering how to function in everyday life which requires planning while still being in the present
We must be about the same vintage Oliver. I was blessed to be at his last retreat in the uk. My heart opens whenever I remember or hear him. He took himself so lightly. A lesson I struggle to remember.
I had a synchronicity with this video and Robin Williams right before Ram Dass said Robin Williams I was thinking of Jumanji and how life is just a game we play
THANK YOU. Was given this book: Be Here Now…. when I was 16. I was told by someone very important to me 💖 that “this book will change your life” - it did. Still helps. So glad that this seed was planted 🌱 to sprout at the perfect time ☀️ completely. Almost 29 now 🎉 …. Still here NOW . Still noting my breath. ✨🤙 Still breathing. Thank you Ram Dass.

@@Dumbpuppet101 I'm glad you find this helpful! I started doing this for myself because there's no way to bookmark videos in YT (that I know of), and I want to be able to come back to parts I find important. I'm glad that it's incidentally helping other people!
The only part of what he said that I really kinda red flagged as maybe a spiritual joke??, was when he said your last thought is where you go.. can you elaborate on your opinion 🙏
I think if you are clinging in your final thoughts, it results in future clinging in the next life…. Thinking of Maharaji’s death, or Ghandis, and well so so many enlightened beings, all both of them were so totally present in their final moment in their heart mind and body that they truly must have reached a little closer to god than those desperately thirsty :)
in more ways than one thirsty.. hungry… lonely… ect… it leads to more clinging. Human life is so precious and it’s consciousness must be savored like two delicious m&ms ❤
Watching this in my throat, I found a m&m. A peanut m&m on the floor board rd and I ate it. And there's currently a little spider sitting on my windshield like he's listening along
Your comment, both of them, made me laugh and Ive been doing everything I can to no kill myself this weekend. Thanks. I needed that and I believe that spider was in fact listening. How could he not be, it’s Ram Dass 😋❤️
@@Itwasrealbutnotfun it's a true story. Lol it be like that sometimes.. let's talk about what's going on with you tho. Do you need an unbiased ear..to listen? I can't guarantee more serendipitous magic like that comment..but we'll see.. we have all things that are good here.. lmk if ya need an ear.
@@mldrafts560 You’re very kind, which makes sense because people interested in love, kindness, and all the good stuff typically find their way to guys like Ram Dass and or spiritual practices and teachers. I don’t know what I need. I just turned 53 a few days ago and I’ve had suicidal shit since I was 9 years old. It’s plagued my mind, mood and emotions for 44 years. It seems to get worse every year too. Sone days are better than others and I can completely ignore the mind and all its narratives, other times I identify with it, as it, and it’s a fight to stay alive. I’ve been sober 10 years using 12 step method after 35 years of chronic late stage alcoholism and addiction. There have been many profound, incredible and beautiful awakenings and peak experiences but the suicidal mind is well grooved and is always there. I don’t talk about it in 12 step meetings because it scares people I think so I just fight alone using whatever I can. I went to Catholic school as a kid and they threatened us with stories of devils, demins and eternal torment in a lake of fire so I’m constantly afraid of dying too. Absolute child abuse imo. What horrible things to tell innocent children 🥺 I can’t get rid of it either, it’s always there. Anyway, idk. I appreciate your loving concern. ❤️ It’s just my karma I guess.
@@marypalmer1062 was just curious. I’ve acquired an autographed photo of Ram Dass from the pictured lecture, so I was just wondering if this is the same lecture we’re listening to or not as well :)
Can you blame him for eating like he'd never seen food before? 😂 What would your last meal be ? That food is so good 😂 just ship my ass over there and leave me !!!😂😂😂
I thank Ram Dass for his works. Umm, if I may add a caveat- humbly speaking. Somewhere, some how there is a misnomer. For there is no 'here'. Incremental 'nowness' is non abiding. So may i posit, aprapos of nothing: Ritual Simplicity. For experience is apt to come full circle, like the worm ouroburos swallowing it's own long lost...wel, you needn't teach grandma how to suck an egg. Thanks RUclipsrs.
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards, Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
Or, you’re just not at that level of understanding and or consciousness yet. Just because you don’t understand or can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

I love how he thinks a lot before answering some of those... shows a lot of wisdom and care. Amazing!
It’s dropping into intuitive consciousness. Silence. Inviting in God to speak. Thinking about what to say is ego
Yes, it takes a moment to receive the words. There’s no preparation for these talks. Just connecting
He becomes still and quiet and the proper response can then come to him and he lets it flow through him
Yes, I’ve been practicing this lately, even with the decisions I make.
I can’t even express how much this has helped me
I love Being Here Now with you Baba Ram Das. You are always in my heart ❤️.
Need your invoring

At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
I like the way. Think this guy is full of total nonsense.
Bull crap. He talk bull crap uwu. 😂
He was answering questions on the spot in this video- I think it’s impressive and very comforting.
He says some very unintelligent things.
Or, you’re just not at that level of understanding and or consciousness yet.
Just because you don’t understand or can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
