================
In this early talk, from 1970, Ram Dass talks about the methods of purification necessary for waking up in this lifetime. He illuminates the traps that lie within these methods and explores what is waiting for us in the ever-present moment.
Show Notes
Waking Up In This Lifetime (Opening)
Ram Dass reflects on the many methods that point us towards God. And the possibility of waking up in this lifetime. Secondly, He looks at the process of purification necessary for personal liberation once we realize the possibility of enlightenment.
“There is something awesomely irreversible about the journey we are sharing. Evolution just doesn’t seem to go backward. The evolution of consciousness and waking up in this very lifetime is what seems to be what we are about. How many lifetimes has each of us been through to bring us to this point?” - Ram Dass
What We Think We Want (26:00)
When is enough going to be enough for us? Ram Dass looks at the things that our culture tells us is going to liberate us and make our lives meaningful. What is the next step when we realize that these objects of freedom are simply a trap?
“When is it enough? When have you collected enough experiences? Want some more? You have lifetimes, no rush. Maybe a few experiences will do it - but do what?” - Ram Dass
Just Another Trip (47:15)
For instance, even when we think that we see our own attachments. And begin to practice methods of freeing ourselves from them. We are likely to find ourselves back at square one - stuck in the traps of our ego. Ram Dass looks at how our methods of purification bring us to new states of consciousness and at the same time catch us in models of how we think it is.
“As long as you think that what you are looking for is outside yourself, it will never be enough. What do you need to make it all right? Every label you have of what you think you need is all a statement of who you think you are and that all turns out to be wrong.” - Ram Dass
Here and Now (59:15)
Lastly, Where do we find the place that we are looking for, where our true nature lies? Ram Dass closes with a reflection on how the moment - the here and now - offers us the opportunity to connect with the Self that exists beyond ego.

🙏
Thank you, Raghu, for everything you contribute to the depth of each of our beings through these discussions. Thank you, Ram Dass, for being the street lamp on the road to the soul.
Thank you Raghu, thank you Ram Dass🙏
One of the most critical talks in my perspective.
Starts at 16:00
Jesus they get later and later lol 😂
RD speaking in a San Francisco Synagogue to high grade Hippies of 1970 ....
“move it up your spine.” that was a good teaching for me, wow ive never tried that
Pure gold from RD. Namaste.
Why y'all Hating on Raghu ? God bless Raghu
Hate is a strong word. It's like putting on an Otis Redding record and hearing Joe Cocker instead. So you fast forward to get to Otis Redding.
It's funny how many people comment the timestamp. 1 year ago, 10 months ago, 6 months ago, 4 months, 1 month, 2 weeks... as if the length of the video has changed?
@@ryanhingorani4019 it's equally funny, maybe, that no matter how many people post the timestamp, the *content* of the video doesn't change, either.... is *your* relationship to it the most important thing to you or is everyone else's? ♡
God bless raghu in about 15 seconds not 15 minutes
Although we should be more open to more perspectives. Few are as good as ram Dass. We don't trust no one but ram Dass. It'd be great to have likeminded strong minds which I am sure raggu is
Love love love
Thank you Raghu!
Namaste ❤️
Thanks Raghu

16:04 You’re welcome
Music to my ears.. 🎼🎶🎸
Mewling babies are my dharma.
Some of the those who are truly wise
have described this plane as being an
amazing crazy cosmic reform school zoo..
with the best,most important desire being
that of spiritual advancement,to attain true
enlightenment because until that is achieved
we will not be free from the karmic wheel of
rebirths....having to appear again and again
in this amazing crazy reform school zoo
Handsome gentleman
. . He was and is....
I am in fear of believing in my thoughts 😂
I love raghu

🕉️💐😺 Thank you 🌱🌳
Intro dude would've talked for the entire hour if not for that blessing of the phone ringing telling him to stop, it isn't about you, people come to hear Ram Dass, a small intro is okay, 16 minutes it's too much, and it produces the opposite of what you're trying to do.
Being said that, thanks for sharing this beautiful talk.
Actually it is about him, and you, and me, and Ram Dass. It's about all of us being in this together with the equalizing factor that we are all conscious beings living an incarnation in a world of duality. We are all moving in the direction of pure consciousness, and like moths to a flame we cannot resist it. Walk a little slower Luciano so we can all go together my friend. Namaste
@@seancasey5024 yes.🙂💕 I was born in 72, and find myself sensing when I he see this that I was in this audience in a former life. 😆 lol
He's the one who uploaded the videos and made be here now so we can all watch this. And out of his passion he gives an introduction.
I love listening to Raghu as well. He also knew Ram Dass's guru and is quite spiritual as well and I think he is truly gifted at putting all of the recordings together for us.
At this point…I’m trying to go back to sleep
22:58 is such a great metaphor for what is happening in the world right now. ♡
Indeed it was..
Sometimes it feels like it's hard to wake up when everybody else is asleep have to keep remembering it's not about them it's about me and my journey do I want to be right or do I want to be happy
True
❤️🎶🌻🌞🐞
What was the ending to the story of the ship captain who led the people to the enlightenment at the end? Did he just got interrupted by the crying baby and forgot the ending?
Abrasive like that Hippie parent who brings their kid to this!
He gets me off good.
well,that was very open and honest too..
and I would love to do the same for you,
good vibes always..wish you well I really do..
I love Raghu’s introduction
Talk starts at 17:13
Thank you!!
Why skip?
@@jameserswell2161 🤣🤣😂 Rhagu preps me for the heavy shit coming

End took suffering
No comment
🫀
Too much into rambling
One of the greatest lectures ruined by selfish parents! Why would a parent bring a screaming child to such an event?
Are you serious! The babies make it worthwhile! The birds,the bells,the train whistles,i feel like im there! 💖🥰
Hmmmm this comment is the absolute opposite of what Ram Dass lectures
This was the first Ram Dass lecture that I found predominantly boring. But, it was from 1970 and you can tell that he still had a lot to learn about public speaking.
Boring.... hmmmm... I'm trying to work out what the implies.... a need for our teachers to be entertaining? The packaging of the gift is an important element?
@@ViragoRiver Thank you for your reply. What I found boring was his delivery. He would get much better at public speaking over the next few years and would eventually become a great public speaker.
Yes, teachers do need to have some degree of "entertaining" quality but that does not mean that they should be song and dance men. It's part of the design structure and is also connected to the message that they are imparting on those who are listening. For example, for me, I cannot stand Eckhart Tolle and even though his message is often of great value, his personality is too smaltzy and weak to deliver it effectively (for me).
Love most of Ram Dass's delivery and messages, though... :)
@@ViragoRiver lol omg overanalyze much?? He just gave his opinion. Chill
@@ViragoRiver btw, did you “work out” what you think it implies yet?? Lol😂
Ram Dass was who he was in that moment, thus fulling being Ram Dass in all his glory.
ya'll really can't make it through a 15 minute introduction?
@@jameserswell2161 Gratitude > Attitude
"Any work my be a help... but if it does not, let it go." You like it... they don't. Both are just as "right".
Careful with the golden chain my friend, I gotta watch myself with that one every day
There are many ways up the mountain, they all lead to the same place
@vehmic poor kitty
My attention span is damaged enough already lol
I need the lecture on how to get high.
Buy a ladder.
