Same lol

😆😭

We are fortunate to have many spiritual masters to guide us

@@MrAbhilash02 I feel like we are just getting attached to the voices and the fun of listening rather than furthering the practice.

@@xsuploader who is we, and when? we're responsible right now for what we're doing, there's no furthering over there, and now back there to criticize, no body on the other side of our eyes to evaluate, just the intention we're responding with right now. we're responsible, right now :)

Just hearing his voice calms me down.

Ditto !

I love that this is called Advanced Corse. I love his playful mind. It helps me let go of my ego. I listen to these podcasts and wonder if he recognized the teenage who regarded him a crackpot and walked all the way through the Haybarn Theater at Goddard Collige, over 50 years ago

His voice unearths the lords joy within me!

Every time I feel anxious, just his voice makes me feel better after a while. I love this soul... 💖

Must have been a truly beautiful experience for you to witness. Reminds of the song Share the Land by the Guess Who. Thank you for sharing

Good ol grateful dead!

WEIR EVERYWHERE!

check out ram dass's eulogy to Jerry.

Outstanding

denise wittman he just blew my heart wide open and then said “have a good day.” Magic.

I had a near death experience some years ago and that's how it is

Yes, wonderful. Although, technically, that was a disembodied friend who said it to him. I think his name was Emmanuel.

@Tom Moylan. You are right. Coincidentally I am reading Emmanuel again now while I have time

that is really a soothing thought

Same here

Same here

Same here 💚

Same here... Every night

Me too 😊

Ahead of his time.

He is amazing

To make you feel safer in unsafe situations.Also, 'Nobody cares is a statement of compassion'... What does that mean? Ram Dass also says Is serial monogamy bad? (Rhetorical question.)

The myth "be fruitful and multiply" & the tasty phrase " equal opportunity for all"..hmmmmm.

I know right! Every time he speaks I am just floored at his insight that applies ro today.

Where did he go?

@@tpstrat14 to the ones crying he probably said where would i go

He just dropped the old body .... One of many

Especially when he mentioned Trump!

It's all part of the process of awakening, after all if your bed is cozy and confortable and you're having this beautiful dream where you're happy and fulfilled, if the alarm clock doesn't ring why would you wake up? I see this moment in history as the alarm clock

@@Nobody-wt7ip Great analogy. 2020 was the loudest ringing in awhile and it continues now.

Tearing down the dysfunctional to rebirth the new 💗💗💗

You’re always remembering, until you forget, until one day, you forget that you ever needed to remember it… ♥️

Me too rach🙏⚘

I hope your actual neighbour never reads this :0

I was thinking about this, and then I realized that everyone is essentially him, but they just don't know it. That would have sounded crazy to me a few years ago, but it's really the truth. Few can reach the level of enlightenment that he had, but it's inside all of us. Still, I wish I had a Ram Dass to talk to.

I soooooo wish he was my neighbour too!!

He's still here, he always has been and always will be. His body and ego is gone but HE is still here. As all of us are and always will be. We are all one.

X files theme plays louder and louder

Me too... wondering if this really is from 1993. This Gem is for today's time. 🙏

Yeah, its there. Far out! I've been listening to every one of his lectures for years. First time. He's mentioned Reagan, Nixon, etc, never Trump. Trump is way way after his stroke. KUDOS. Nice awareness 👏

@@catherinetarantini8549 I was thinking this video might possibly have been a number of talks...pieced together.... and whoever compiled them to make the video might have inadvertently slipped a more recent talk in. I don't know when his stroke was, but he hasn't been speaking this clearly since....So it must just be a random coincidence...(or premontion or...again..."woo woo".."twighlight zone" material :)

Have you seen "Becoming Nobody" on Prime? Ram Dass talks put together in movie. Sums up his philosophy. Its extraordinary ✨

"Suffering is Grace"! Ram Dass has said this.

No kidding, bizarre

Its one of my favorite qoutes from Ram Dass, so well put and pertinent today!

Amazing, right?

No bodys perfect...

Heard it, paused the vid, and looked for the first comment 😨

@@newstyle8121 Nobody.

Trump shouldn’t exist.

We at the channel salute you!

My friend, you ARE God. We are all God. Everything is "God". You could also replace the word God with the Universe. The Brahmin. Krishna. Consciousness. God is not a bearded dictator in the sky, it is everything. You are not your ego, not your body, not your mind, but those are parts of you. You can experience a separation from those via meditation, certain chemicals, even just a shifting of your own identity. Know thyself. Know your true self. Buddha just means one who has awoken to their true self. This isn't belief either. It is an experience and having that experience is the only way to truly know. You are connected with everything. Everything is connected. The only thing keeping you from that is your own resistance to the present moment. Resistance to yourself. Desire to change it, to improve your life or a craving for more. A feeling of things not being good enough. Of you not being good enough. Or that things ARE good, but they could be "better". Desire IS the root of all suffering, and desire comes from not being able to decide that the present moment is enough to enjoy. I've trimmed down a lot of these things for the sake of not writing an entire essay, so I don't expect anyone to believe any of this, but these are all Ram Dass' teachings, along with the teachings of almost all great minds throughout human history.

@@ti2218 You just explained this reality perfectly well done 🙏

And also so free and light. 😉

***** He has always been one of my favorite speakers. He had a stroke some years ago, and cannot speak well anymore. But his stories are great.

I love Ram Dass and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but he got himself into a lot of trouble throughout his life. Like sex-filled LSD parties with Harvard students, inviting devotees to his quarters to see his "holy pictures", being seen standing in lines at gay movie theaters, making questionable associations and claims about certain people (Joya Santana) when he should've really known better, and so forth. Yet unlike the other myriad of disgraced gurus like Osho and Satyananda Saraswati or the ones who have questionable claims about them like Sai Baba, Paramahansa Yogananda, and Sadhguru; Ram Dass actually spoke up, addressed claims against him or outright confessed about his sinful activities, and accepted responsibility for his actions. He worked on a policy of honesty. He actively denied being an avatar, bodhisattva, or even a guru and always deflected credit back to Maharaji like a true devotee would. He was a humble man who would fall, get back up, and keep climbing towards his goal. This is what truly makes him so special. Now regarding his stroke... its unfair to place the blame on his parents. He healed his relationships with them and was with each of them for their deaths. His father even allowed him to host huge gatherings on family property and would always offer him money/resources. I can imagine the real karma of it was for his sexual appetite. Its hard to get things going on when you're stuck in a wheel chair.

@@jeff4312 Your comment isn't bad at all! It's filled with honest recollections and quite beautiful to behold, considering how these acts of flesh and desire were as roots for the life of this man... Disgrace doesn't turn one's actions into falsehoods, it just brings forth the darkness that was graced by light. I spoke of his family karma from experience, and I still sustain that it occurred due to the imbalance in his father's ancestors. This is to say that health occurs when balance is restored, and it usually occurs through loss of the material... And, a you've proficiently pointed out, there much more to consider, but I'm certain that this was the central struggle behind the stroke. Anyway, divinity is the absolute and we all partake of it. Indeed the humbleness of the one who let's go of "grasping the light" is wondrous to behold. Letting go is a beautiful process, and I agree whole-heartedly that Ram Dass was truly a special guide who allowed the word to become flesh in himself. Or something like that hahaha :D
