    I sat in the living room at 6:15 am with my twin boys (4 1/2) and listed to Ram Dass on my headphones while they watched a show. They asked what I was listening to I said ‘just a guy talking’ … what is he talkin’ about one of them asked. ‘Life’ I said . He replied, ‘is that where we play?’ . Exactly!! I responded . I’m always impressed with the children and their uninhibited connection to the truth and the pureness of life.

    At 37, in a rehab with no plan, a fellow housemate gave me the book “be here now”. I started
    following Ram Dass and i became sober. I read that book before the Big Book of AA. Now, 76yrs
    old, 39yrs sober, I have the need to listen to him even more. What a deal!

    Years ago, you came to New Mexico and gave a lecture at UNM. Way up in the cheap seats, sat a guy who was at rock bottom, riding his mtn bike thru traffic hoping he'd die, finishing his Ph.D. dissertation, coming out, his less than useful Baha’i religious community he was once active in rejected him and threw him out for being gay, his family was less than any help, he was in the middle of a soap opera. But, after that evening, he KNEW…. no... I KNEW I would survive. The magic began to return to my life. There are no words enough for the gratitude I have for you!
    And now, I am an old man, a grandfather, and as I first gazed into my grandson’s eyes… I whispered, “We are all loving awareness!” I wouldn't BE HERE NOW, if I hadn't gone to that lecture... Namaste dear, dear teacher!

      An interesting path walked well good sir! I suddenly, in my mid fifties as time is measured, just discovered this facet of truth- somehow I missed Ram Dass entirely and I saw Timothy Leary speak in the early 90’s so I’m in the loop a little bit! But this is the power Ram Dass describes as being outside of space and time - his message still reaches me even though his physical form has passed- and I needed to have had my experiences prepare me for this work but I’m ready for it - there’s little I don’t understand if only by theory, I’ve already listened to hundreds of hours of Alan Watts Terrance McKenna and Bashar - heck I know who Korzibsky is and why Watts et al refer to him but how did I not see a random video for Ram Dass until now? Because now I am ready.

      @Michael Kean "In 1994, in an interview with gay journalist Mark Thompson, later published in his book, "Gay Soul: Finding the Heart of Gay Spirit and Nature," Mr Dass publicly came out, one of the first New Age celebrities to do so."

    • @CTEMmm
      @CTEMmm 2 года назад +4

      @Michael Kean I'm really confused about how him not coming out until 1994 even really means anything? Like what's your point? Maybe he felt it would take away from the message he was trying to give to the world, especially considering it's not like the world was super accepting of gay folks? But furthermore, we don't follow ram Dass like he's Jesus. He's not a prophet, and he's not perfect. We listen to his words and ideas because they resonate and make sense, his advice and philosophy make sense. It's not him, it's his teachings.

    • @thenadie8
      @thenadie8 2 года назад +6

      @Michael Kean who else are you angry at? Are you angry at him for not fighting your battle? Cosmic laughter. You are angry at a facet of yourself. Forgive yourself for not coming out earlier. Forgive your culture for making coming out a battle you must wage. Forgive humanity for needing connection. Forgive love for wanting to exist outside of itself. Forgive existence for not staying in the infinite emptiness, but choosing to differentiate, so that you could learn once more what it is to choose love. But first, be angry. Hooray! Now, choose! 😘🥰❤

    • @Littletony525
      @Littletony525 4 года назад +1

      @tanon Bro you're the one being an asshole, let people have their views. One person stating there is no proof of god/afterlife so there is none is just as close minded and potentially ignorant as the one that says they experienced those things so they must be true. Stay open

    • @Littletony525
      @Littletony525 4 года назад +3

      @tanon alright that's fair on the reply, I mean there isn't a point if there is no chance of you changing your opinion. You seem set in stone. I don't have any conclusive evidence personally, but it is clear to me that we really have no idea, and the great mysteries have not been explained away by science. So what I am saying is you can't make the claim that god/afterlife don't exist. We are a fractal within a fractal, think of an ant crawling on the sidewalk, it does not even know what humans are. A human steps on an ant and it doesn't even have a chance to gain any conception of what happened before it's gone. We are likely in a similar relationship to things bigger than us, only just like the ant we have no idea what is bigger than us. I mean really bigger, not simply asteroids and planets. So big we can not make a little diagram of it, we have no conception.

  • @katyoung9326
    @katyoung9326 4 года назад +66

    This is so good. Sometimes I come back to Ram Dass and his talks reset me. IDK if that makes sense, but I get these seconds (they only last a couple of seconds) where I feel the way he is explaining , the high. Through meditation....I think that it may be moments of non thought, or relief or just acceptance. The acceptance, oneness....trying to get that back is like trying to catch a butterfly. These days, any form of relief seems pretty appropriate. Acceptance of the way things are today is such a challenge, but what is more challenging is having faith that we will all come out the other side peacefully and able to see it with our eyes while we are still alive.

    I've known Ram Dass for less than one week, and I am taken. I am blown away by so many thoughts and feelings I have had my entire life (as he says you have all the "clues you need") and I misunderstood them for different things which I can reprocess (if you will) better knowing what I know now. I feel that such freedom has been offered to me by his amazing way of communication. Thank you for sharing.

    26:00 - 28:00
    28:00 - 30:30 something I'm currently experiencing, almost like I'm hearing myself
    32:30 - honoring my incarnation, free THROUGH form, not Despite my form
    33:30 - freedom of awareness, freedom from identification from thoughts
    34:25 - how do you live it as a sweet play/dance
    39:50 - 40:05 moment itself is enough
    43:10 - fall in Love with Universe
    51:05 - 55:15 - how do you keep open your heart in hell? how to go through suffering and what is suffering?
    57:05 - experiencing Love in others
    1:05:55 - judging others? lack of Self-Love
    1:10:00 - feeling the Love of sharing the experience with Other Forms
    1:15:10 - 1:22:00 - an amazing story about Love vs implying muscles/power

    His book Be Here Now crossed my path in an ashram in Hermosillo, Sonora right at a point in my young life (1970) when it was needed. His talks since then have all crossed my paths at later points in my life - Dying Into Life was a great series, given I think out in the high desert in the Twenty-Nine Palms area where I lived for awhile. He's one of the speakers who seldom if ever gave any sort of "canned" performance - that is, they were/are all from his heart and from where he happened to be at the time on his evolutionary path. He had a long, rich life intertwined and filled with evolving souls. His insights and wisdom he shares can always be counted on to enrich. Ram Dass didn't deal with boilerplate. With his SEVA Foundation and Prison/Ashram Project and many other projects which I don't know about but which surely exist, he's done much good. A truly well-lived life. From first coming across his amazing creation Be Here Now, he's been a treasured gift in my own.

    This man's Be Here Now offered all those brown pages, one after another, to an eighteen year old submerged in a clueless world. It cracked the cosmic egg that lent itself to a recognition. The topography of maps and signs lead home of course, of course...of course. The Big Picture isn't this sentence so much but for this vitality of simply breathing, as if one hadn't noticed but for yes of course.

    Ram Dass Lecture - form and void - the awe full forms relate - it is perfect! Step back to see the way of things. Impersonal - tyranny, close heart to immense suffering - the quality of separateness. Our human hearts hurt! It is the perfection of form - my human heart cries in empathy. New awakening the curriculum of the awakening heart! Dropping the body is then suffering - everything is where we hate and love. What is - is conditional love - it is always perfect. When Ram Dass met his Guru - 12 people, in a little bus, he was cross. Laughter!

    "The only reason anybody suffers is because of the clinging of their mind. Starvation is just a certain set of pangs. The fact that you suffer when you starve is because of the mind's identification with the separateness."
    This sounds like the same excuse making, to prevent the pain you feel in seeing starvation, that he talks about at the beginning of the talk. If you can't face that pain in others, and try to have compassion, and even provide help - then at least don't minimize their suffering by deciding that it only exists because the starving person has identified with his mind.
    Honor the profound suffering in the world. Realize that if you're reading this and listening to this lecture, you probably have no idea what it's like to truly suffer in that way - like starve to death. Or perhaps live many years with a debilitating disease. Give honor.
    This man is brilliant, but I think that comment shows that even a briliiant person can have moments of condescension, where he de-humanizes those less fortunate on this planet - seeing them with so much "detachment" that he can rationalize their suffering as "grace" - yes, it's grace. So don't make it into nothing but a simple issue of detachment.
