For almost 50 years I have listened, attended workshops, read all the books, and thought about what I was hearing and reading. Now, at 87, I still have RD in my mind and heart and working to bring consciousness to life and it’s ending. Namaste

But now that this soul has left the body, i feel the opening even more fully as the sweetness of the grief and celebration of his life, opens my heart more fully..

This lecture is A M A Z I N G! So profound and funny, so “serious” and full of joy at the same time. I feel so much grateful for who is sharing this. Ram Dass words and actions are life changing. Ram Dass “loves everyone and always says the truth”.

[@Nobody-wt7ip]

I rent a little room in my mind for Ram Dass, sometimes the door to that room opens and he says the most remarkable things, lest time was about the only real emotion that I carry in my heart is love, every other emotion is only derived from it. I don't know if you guys have developed a special relationship despite the fact he already left his body. I never personally met him, but hearing him and reading his stuff created a version of him within me that I carry always.

[@nicholasfulford6753]

I look into the image of Ram Dass as they are singing, and it is like looking in a mirror of joy and beauty and presence reflected back upon and through itself. Rumi once said that a seeker came outside the master's door and knocked, and when the master said, "Who is it?", replied, "It is I". The master said, "There is not enough room in here for you and I." The seeker went away and his longing became so incredibly intense that he came back and knocked again. The master said, "Who is it?" And the seeker replied, "It is you." The door opened, and the voice said, "Come in me." That is what it feels like to lose oneself in another. It dissolves the illusion of separateness.

I remember the 90's and 2000. The future seemed so bright. We did appear to be heading toward enlightenment. Then 9/11 destroyed everything. Now, 20 years later, we are a country fueled almost exclusively by fear. And the few people, like me, who know it's a game, are just tiny voices in a sea of endless "valid" opinions and propaganda. Logic no longer buys you a platform. Only the most divisive people are heard because they're the ones who get clicks. Pure and simple. It's awful.

[@spacer4660]

Papa Dass’s insight is timeless and most empowering. We (the animals) indeed have three identities (or experiences of Now): 1) identity of Self - as in who we think we are; 2) identity of Group - as the group/culture/family/herd/ judges or perceives us; 3)identity of the metaphysical - as in Divine Light perception of us and our 1st identity. This is the triad of life on Earth weather man or beast. Our 2nd identity is the “paper version” (includes all data available linked with the SS number by which We are identified) and what The Establishment uses to determine or judge the individual. In the animal realm, the 2nd identity is how the pack/herd/gaggle/tribe/etc family judges us to be. Thanks be to Babba Dass for facilitating this knowledge and may His Being be joyous and blessed on the next paradise planet he got Transferred to!!!
