Exploring his work with death and people who are dying, Ram Dass talks about how he’s learning to live simultaneously on multiple planes of reality and consciousness. To him, the art form of being human is the ability to open our hearts to suffering and acknowledge that it hurts like hell, while also appreciating the awesome nature of the mystery, which includes suffering and death.
Ram Dass addresses aging and the nature of change. He talks about resting in change and handling the balance and tension of inhabiting multiple planes of consciousness simultaneously.
Ram Dass opens up about the trouble he has keeping his heart open to certain people. He talks about the collaborative nature of creating environments where people won’t get trapped in their roles.
Ram Dass ends the talk with some reflections about love and not living out of a deprivation model. He shares his classic story about the state trooper who just might have been Krishna in drag as an example of living on more than one level at one time.
“When you are able to simultaneously live on those planes of consciousness and handle that tension and that balance, then your every act towards other human beings brings to bear with it equanimity, spaciousness, and joy.” - Ram Dass

Guys relax about the intros, just skip if you don’t like. I like them. Thanks to everyone involved with this channel

[@ladandejam8230]

Thank you so much!❤️

[@MourningCoffeeMusic]

Ah so. Just what I needed.
🖤🙏🏼✨

[@CeliaMayo-fs7rt]

I would like to hear more of Ram Dass and less of Jackie’s interpretation.

[@suemannon5504]

I think it's important for them to be monetized. If that requires x amount of commentary from the creators, cool. RUclips has a lot of hoops to jump through.

[@willowgalan2942]

​@suemannon5504 i agree. However I also think that the quality of video would be better each time if the be here now networks had its hosts give their lectures after the central talks and kind of wrapped things up it would be nicer than having to worry about skipping through and then feeling bad about ignoring poor jackie for a moment! 😅

[@ideasandtrucking]

You couldn't stand like 5 minutes of talking at the beginning?

[@batonmorina5438]

Ahahhaha this made me laugh, not that I agree with you but it was just really funny!

[@schivonajohnson9169]

Is it Jackie though? Or is it Ram Dass? We are all reflection of one another. We are all extensions of the one with of many names. You should make patience your girlfriend. I think you guys would go good together. 😊❤

[@juliecrawford-smith8457]

I love the introduction , it connects us to the now and makes Ram Dass more for this time .
Love the emanation of love from the beautiful words before the talk …It gives another relevance of understanding .

[@vextract4662]

Good one, thank you!

[@silversurfer6818]

U are great ❤

[@mikefox3939]

Hi Jackie, there's no video of you. I miss your smiling face!

[@maidai-theswonk9900]
