[@caroljelliott979]

First timer here. Although I’ve heard many quotes from Ram Dass but didn’t look him up! I am delighted by this first time exposure of really hearing Ram and I cannot say enough about how spot on his messages are! His humor took me by surprise which was so beneficial & timely. What an incredible human being/Guru… I’m so grateful & I’ve subscribed & cannot wait for more from this beloved Man. I feel Blessed how this popped up ! No accidents! Wonderful. Thank you for this Channel 💚🙏🏻✌️ Buffalo, NY Instant Fan @81 yrs young. 🦋 Notes & saved.

[@jaycuttill300]

Absolutely! I came across him in 2016 and found his humour so appealing, boy can he tell a story, there is no one like him

[@BeHereNowNetwork]

We are so happy that you enjoy what we are doing!

[@ravenvision222]

I can’t explain, how much these teachings have helped me help myself. Forever grateful. I ruined the relationship with the woman I loved most because I didn’t know the things I know now, when I was a younger man. Even though I miss her so, I’ve learned to still live a good life without her. And I’m a better person now everyday, then I ever was then 🙏

[@peppermintspicelatte]

May the rest of your life honor your relationship with yourself, and through that, grow in relationship with others❤

I’m hearing this at exactly the right time. I needed a reminder of unconditionality because I’ve been drifting into more of it lately. I long for one thing but live out another. Thank you for posting this.

[@Misschiefjesus]

I’ve never seen anyone with such lights around their eyes as you do.. SO BEAUTIFUL 🤩

[@sydismine]

The wonderful teachings from Ram Dass will endure throughout time. He's a joy-seeker, a sage and just your garden variety soul being in a human spacesuit. I'm so grateful that I discovered him during my formative years. (70's-90's) He's the most gentle sage that lifts the world to this day! I hope the younger GENS find him and love him. May all that are reading this be joyous, loved and free. ❤💫✌

[@TheWorldTeacher]

Sings: “It ain’t necessarily so...” 🎤

[@BetweenLoveAndPrejudice]

I wanna be free. We have to free ourselves though. Whether the teacher will remain behind the scenes or manifest as a person, the guru is always within. Joy isn't my goal. Freedom is. But the paradox is that freedom brings joy, so. But not the kind of fleeting joy that's conditional. It's probably more like a profound acceptance of ourselves as we are, and the world as it is.

[@bransonfredricks5395]

Born 1996. I receive much hope for myself and the world when I listen.

[@kedamono9212]

during great times of suffering i must remember it is all for the souls growth, much love ❤️

[@mariebates4693]

Wow! This message hit me to the core of what I'm experiencing right now. I'm taking care of my mother as we speak. I definitely can understand the complexities of just life itself. I'm learning how to experience my journey on this earth with no judgment just understanding with compassion. And being open and vulnerable with the acceptance in it Thank you for sharing this beautiful message message of Mastery🥰❤❤❤

[@anthonybonifer477]

This is what I was thinking last night when I went to sleep... awake now, smoked a couple bowls and I'm ready to listen... Namastè

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

Why smoke? What it give you that’s not already here? Why the attempting to escape the reality that exists without weed? Not judging or condemning, just curious.

[@dartpit]

​@@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496 weed is non-specific amplifier of sensation and emotion. it strictly amplifies the life that is "already here"

[@ryderwalsh7654]

The real practice is these opening segments lol

[@rosinamarie13]

Agreed 😅

[@dirtyhiggins5484]

I live near Knoxville Tennessee, too bad that I was only 6 years old when he came to speak here lol. Thank you to whoever recorded this so that I may learn from it all these years later.

Miss Dobrinsky, as I listened to this recording, I heard you mention that you hosted this recording in Asheville. Though it is '7 months ago' that you made this recording, I can't help think of the struggles you and your community have faced during the Hurricane. If I had prayers to say, I say them now and know they are also for me. My heart is with you. All the best Blessings. Be well.

The intellectuality he brings with the divine experiences is beautiful to hear, What a sense of humour. Thankyou !!

[@MourningCoffeeMusic]

What if pain is “the awful grace”? A divine gift we all hate and take for granted.

[@joeblakeukeman]

Maybe it’s “awe-full” grace?

[@doomsdaycrochet4873]

Coffee is my reward for getting up. ☕️❤ Not sure why it's trendy to hate on it just because some people react poorly to it. I dont expect everyone to give up gluten just because my body rejects it.

[@humanerror7]

I do not believe that coffee is good for us. It certainly isn't good for your adrenals... but hey everyone has a vice just don't act like it's good for ya

[@doomsdaycrochet4873]

@@humanerror7 It's about as good for me as toxic positivity. Plenty of people live into old, old age drinking coffee. And I pair it with raw, organic cream. So, no...not stressing about coffee and what other people want to layer onto it.

[@Captaincrunchh]

@@humanerror7coffee can be good for people it depends on the person. Just like dairy isn’t good for everyone but for me I can eat as much dairy as I want without any stomach issues

[@User-de2rr]

Coffee overstimulates your nervous system, making it more difficult to connect to god since you're in a unfavorable vibration to receive messages.

[@EyeAmYou42]

I absolutely love your voice and the commentary. You have such a soothing voice. I put this on randomly during a panic attack, as I am now officially a new subscriber…and was not expecting your voice first! You got me out of my panic attack before his part came on. Ha! Thank you! 🙏🩵✨💫🙏

[@ImaginarySusan]

Hi with LOVE to all of you who are out there and see this. I found Ram months ago by chance while listening to Trevor Hall music and coincidentally heard Ram speaking about sitting around the fire for eternity...that's another story. What I'm here for now is to admit that for 60 years I have deeply identified with loving WHOLY, (HOLY?..) EVERYTHING I know.. from a tree to a stranger...I feel that love for all, but yet I myself feel worthless, undeserving of love and unlovable. I am humbled to the point of tears by even the slightest kindness and weep daily at my yearning to simply be loved. I feel I have so much love to give away but none for me to give myself or any comfort in living so lonely. I'm 4 in a 60yo body just counting the days to disappear. I have endured loss and abuse and trauma. Neglect, injustices, failure, and broken-hearted pain. I have raised children to become good and kind, lived a creative life of small successes... yet I am nothing. What am I? Enlightened doomed or merely human? I'm very tired. I just want to be held by something who genuinely loves my being. I'm a good person, I think. I try. I am kind and gentle...and always there for those in need of any non-judgemental considerate love. How can I feel so empty and lonely still.? Is this a common place to be? Others out there like this? Help. 🙏

[@andycook8163]

Thank you. This is a beautiful Ram Dass. Rock on. Namaste

[@MichaelShellGLPA]

What an amazing introduction!!! I can’t wait to listen to what he says. On my way to teach elementary school for the day!

[@alexandramika11]

This was exactly what I needed to hear right now❤️💗❤️ Life changing 🙏❤️🙏 Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@DavidBrown-pp5tt]

Unfolded rather well🙂⚡️ Teaching these skills, is so beneficial to not lower, your most authentic self. Too bad, our government leaders, and those we look up to don’t come from this place. But we’re just as responsible for putting our hopes and failures on them. So many of us sit around and complain, but never do anything to set the example. Regressing, becoming rigid and angry. Free yourself and believe what is best for you will happen if you go with the flow .

[@hotdoggington6962]

For the love of, can we PLEASE normalize what he does with actually taking his time to think before responding? I think that’s so cool. irl I had always felt embarrassed to do that, like people will think I’m slow

[@craftinganewworld1674]

Pain falls drop by drop upon the heart, until in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom, through the awful grace of God.

[@saraswatirobin5540]

The most compelling thing about this teaching is how dull and uninspired is the introduction is by the messenger compared to how brilliance and vibrancy of Ram Dass. You can all do better with the teachers of Ram Dass’ material.

[@That_Freedom_Guy]

We could "break down our ego" in the same way we broke down our tooth fairy and our Santa Clause. Considering they all share the category of fantasies once believed in. They have no existence apart from assuming them to be real. We are told that the childish ideas can be dropped as we mature, but they never drop the ego fantasy. I won't wait for others to tell me.

[@mogeaux]

Pushing down others as leverage to elevate yourself is a perfect example, illustrating an inflated ego disproportionate to your self esteem. 'That Freedom Guy' is fiction. It's all fiction. The ego. The absence thereof...fiction. Fiction is story telling. Story telling. It's what we humans do....but what do I know? Maybe you are right and everyone else is wrong....I would be interested in learning about it but in the meantime, why don't you create content elevating others which resonates?
