Ram Dass - Here and Now - Ep. 101 - Separation, Lust & Kali

[@Heaven-Born]

Way before covid and zoom were a thing…Ram Dass and I Skyped! My internet was so bad that my video didn’t work..only my audio. I could hear and see him…but he could only hear me. But, I guess it was okay…because I was just staring at him and freaking out. His eyes were Pools of Love! Super kind of him to give me a whole hour of his time. ❤️❤️❤️

[@joshih22]

ahhh how lucky you are. I met him in my dream for the first time last night!

I had a Heart2Heart ❤2❤ too with Ram Dass and I felt so scared to be alone on Skype with him so what I did was I asked my boyfriend at the time to join me. LOL He had no idea about the whole story of Ram Dass, Be Here Now and loving awareness, dharma ❤❤❤ I realized many years later just how my life became in service for social action and Ram Dass showed me how when the suffering is too great, inside of ourselves and that it's really hard to be present and respond with compassion. We chanted over and over I am Loving Awareness ❤️ 🙏❤️❤ and I am grateful for that one hour to be with him ❤️ Also, I know now this .....after many Hanuman Chalisas, I don't miss, I always carry you in my heart ❤ Jai Shri Ram

For a brilliant breakdown of the different types of consciousness see Ramana Maharshi Be as You Are Chapter 12 Experience and Samadhi...Sahaja samadhi-the unified field of awareness or Born Again when the ego is destroyed along with its subconscious mind-unconscious mind revealing the superconscious mind 24/7. The VOID many NDE experiences are reporting is the unconscious mind.The intense feeling of inner peace they feel is a corollary of a disconnect from the egos mental machinations.Indeed if you cannot dive deeply enough into this samadhi state nightly your mental health suffers. This is the next phase in our spiritual evolutionary trajectory=linked into the unconscious mind more than our subconscious mind.Beyond the unconscious mind lies the SUPERCONSCIOUS MIND. Finally to see how much the subconscious mind plays out its little dramas see series-The Ghost Inside my Child.Actual testimonials from children in the west remembering their past lives and beyond.

Much of the feelings of inadequacy about being an individual is cultural conditioning and not a part of our natural state.

Beyond the unconscious mind lies the SUPERCONSCIOUS MIND. This connection to GOD is our steering mechanism during the NDE.This is why every NDE is slightly different =the need to grow thru WISDOM.See NDE of Jose Hernandez-ATHEIST DIES AND IS SHOCKED BY WHO HE SEES IN HEAVEN 3 million views. Here is another link to show how the subconscious mind plays out its little dramas:See series-The Ghost Inside my Child.Actual testimonials from children in the west remembering their past lives and beyond. Our next spiritual evolutionary phase is to sense the unconscious mind more than the subconscious mind.

It’s best to get a guru or Tantric initiation to work with Kali. And I don’t mean to be a gatekeeper, she is not for everyone. But she is for anyone who is desperate though. If a seeker wants to drop their nonsense fast, progress quickly, and are ok with picking themselves up after a good beating, Kali may be for that person. From a functional perspective, deities don’t always help the practitioner in the way they want to be helped, but in the way they need to be helped. I hope that’s helpful. Another perspective: if you hear this talk, Kali is with you already (she is everywhere, anyway). You can say her name, it is a mantra in itself. Offer her your life energy/prana (it belongs to her anyway). Then be ready to hold on. A stable personal life and training in hatha yoga and Ayurveda is really helpful to adjust to Kali. JAI MA KALI ❤️‍🔥

I said to someone separation is an illusion and he thought I was insane.

[@LuisHernandez-sf5hf]

Lmao my friends think I’m posses or something when I start talking about the illusion of life

[@SuperFreedomRock1]

@@LuisHernandez-sf5hf Likely due to the language used - "illusion" isn't really accurate IMO, everything is "real," the problem is people do not understand "what" or "who" they really are. Only those of us who have stepped-off the treadmill for a while, looked around and reflected, know this, and who they are, and everyone who are still lost and asleep, become silly...with their guns, their suits, their money, their preoccupations with their bodies, etc..,

[@nah6560]

@@SuperFreedomRock1 do you know who you really are?

[@who_theme]

​@@SuperFreedomRock1incorrect, it's not "real". For nothing real can be threatened, nothing real exists, herein lies the peace of God.

[@hunchosett]

As he should. You're becoming identified with thinking you "know," and that's just another trap of the ego and ultimately an attachment. Ram Dass literally said in a lecture that he could go to his bank teller, look in her eyes and tell her she's divine and that he loves her. And he'd be telling his relative truth. And the bank teller might hit the alarm out of concern to call the police, and I assure most people would live on the same plane or truth that the bank teller inhabits. If you want people to describe to the ultimate truth, feed them first. But once you start believing that everyone else is living in "ignorance", quite honestly in some ways you're more caught in the illusion than them. That's one of the most dangerous things from a spiritual perspective, the potential of the ego to clash with the flow of life. Consider unconditional love and surrender. Or don't. It's just my relative truth and path after all. If you wanna manifest all this karma, God bless you and continue to do so

[@ShivRamBaba999]

@@suncoasthoast9479 good question, im still figuring that out

[@MiRaLeEn]

In my understanding if youre not ready and u call her, she starts to eat everything that you identify with and seperates you. We may loose loved ones and money and reputation but because we have not identified yet with god we will suffer immensely because we were never ready to give it up. So make sure youre really ready. Usualy have you noticed… as soon as u let go of something you will get it. Ppl use this to manifest things in life. But I believe its a sweet game and the universe saying see… you werent really ready to give it up, because when u got it youre lost enjoying in it. Youre not ready for kali then.

[@psyche1468]

​@@MiRaLeEnsums up what Kundalini does. if not ready, she will drag one to cleaners, throw everything and everyone else away without much warning or mercy. Mother expects purity and innocence. Once she is here, we got to be there, because she is not leaving. Your comment helped me make the connections. Thank you.

I don’t know much about him …. But he is a white man who was born & raised in the U.S. & we’re all conditioned in “whiteness” here.

[@aleemahyasmin5982]

He isn't racist. He was an American guy who went to India in 1967 to study under Mahariji. He wouldn't of had a brown Indian guy as his Guru if he was racist. The point he was making is that American ethnic minorities are having larger families than whites so in the future will be less of a minority. These are statistics.

[@aleemahyasmin5982]

@@KriRama Yet, Ram Dass was a Jew and some whites think that Jews aren't white even if they have a white skin since they are from the Semitic race.

[@KriRama]

@@aleemahyasmin5982 it’s so crazy to me honestly… the whole concept of race. I’m white, born & raised in the US & think if ppl here were taught how many times the definition of “white” has been changed our history, we’d see how absolutely ridiculous the concept of “race” really is!
