My Philosophy Heroes: Ram Dass Teachings For The Post-Pandemic World

Today we're looking at spiritual teacher, psychologist and author, Ram Dass. His real name was Richard Alpert and his most well-known book ‘Be Here Now’ tells the story of his spiritual awakening, and how you can use meditation and yoga. What can he teach us about fear and uncertainty in a post-pandemic world? Let me know who else you want me to talk about in the comments below!

Yess!! I've been intrigued by Ram Dass since 2009, when I was working at a hostel in Ireland, they were showing the film "Fierce Grace" I was amazed at this brilliant human. Since then I listen to his lectures on youtube regularly for spiritual guidance, and have read some of his books, Be here Now, Polishing the MIirror, etc. His death hit me hard, I cried but knew I was crying at the loss of his physical form, and his presence and teachings remain very much a part of my life. Especially during the pandemic. Love this video

We attack the rich for being greedy and tyrannical but they are people just like you and me.

We need to identify the true source of the problem, not just scratch at the surface.

Ram Dass is responsible fo all time favourite metaphor. From memory: "A man is rowing a boat, in fog, on a lake. He sees a faint outline of another boat heading towards him. 'Look out!' 'Move!' 'Get out of the way idiot!' The boats collide. And when the man's up close he sees, there's no one in the other boat. There's no one in the other boat."

I think I've understood the meaning but could you explain it for me please? At the expense of losing the poetism of the metaphor 😂

[@sonada5933]

@@Liam-tl5nn As we journey, self propelled, through the fog (of life), we imagine the obstacles we perceive to be the work or doings of others, they're the ones obstructing our way. The barriers are external. But the truth is it's ourselves who've set our own course and we've headed for, even gravitated towards, our difficulties. We scream, we protest. But the responsibility is our own. There's no one in the other boat.

I LOVE Ram Dass with all my heart. He continues to touch me as he resides in spirit, he sent me some very hard to ignore messages thru synchronicities and so now I speak directly to him in some of my mediations, I like to believe he is there for me and can be for anyone who calls. He has been instrumental in my awakening since I came across be here now back in 1997. He talks in such an accessible and lighthearted way, so warm and so beautiful. Ahhhh he is just seriously the best. Another great highlight, Russel, seems we have all the same influencers thru the awakening, but I guess we are similar age. Ram Dass, thank you for gracing our world and Rest in Peace sweet man you will always be my guru 💟

No freedom of speech, we cannot leave Cuba and we can not make a means due to SOCIALISM AND NOT THE AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL USA. You don’t know what it is to live in Cuba. So please do not comment. You are merely a socialist who probably lives in the beauty we call USA. We cannot develop ourselves in an impoverished socialist/ communist country which leaves the government wealthy and in power and the people POOR , sick and dead. Do your research and don’t be manipulated by the LEFT. I LIVED the POORNESS. I CAME TO AMERICA THE FREE. Do not come and comment under my comment talking about USA. And try to do some research on how the revolutionary’s and the communism ruined our island and our people. We’ve been suffering for decades this isn’t new. Go live in Cuba. And do NOT GO AS A TOURIST and you will see what I mean. Socialism does not let us advance. We can’t leave our islands or we will be killed and we have no freedom or speech. We do not have the rights to bare arms so there are currently killing us pieces by pieces. Sick and tired of cry baby socialist commenting ignorant shit like this.

'Being Free Together' is possibly my favorite Ram Dass talk where he discusses the idea of using relationships as a vehicle to awakening. Such a wonderful talk for also just learning learning how to relate to one another.

[@SamBellGuitar]

I love Ram Dass. He's always at every turn in my personal journey. Timeless. His autobiography 'Being Ram Dass' is a whirlwind, I haven't got through it all yet. But I'm enjoying every bit, super real and honest about his journey. Its a teaching in itself. Well worth checking out if you haven't already! (The audio version read by Rameshwar Das is great for long drives)

[@sallyhigh]

Your so refreshing to listen to. The light and love that comes out of you is amazing. It’s been an honor to follow you and watch you grow and become the deep spiritual being that you are today.🙏

[@Freindlyghost88]

One of the most affecting Ram Dass lectures I’ve heard in his one about love. It’s definitely on KZbin. He goes into detail about being in the space of love, how to be in love with someone is to have someone allow you into that space within yourself. I’d love to hear Russell unpack that and bring it to the here and now of the 21st C.

[@soilmanted]

One can love. One can be loved. There is no such thing as being "in" love. Loving something is a form of attachment to it. It is an _obstacle_ to awakening. If you want to experience the oneness of all things, it helps if you avoid attachment to individual things. Same thing goes for identity. You need to avoid "having an identity," adopting an identity. Identity is always _limiting._ it is never liberating.

Excellent video Russell. Much respect for Ram Dass... I have a lot of his material. Still absorbing it.

[@davidfarrall]

Yes, nice one Russell and Ram Dass. We’ve had 1984 and Brave New World of Huxley, which presumably still exist in some “forgotten” Worlds. In our Quantum Realms, we have the pleasant possibility of amalgamating Utopia and Dystopia. So called sin and corruption can be treated playfully now and children can be suitably indoctrinated into this. In the words of Supergroup Yes, in Parallels, “We can make Love towards Perfection”. We can never get there but it could be fun trying!

[@robertbody743]

Ram Dass speeches are a bottomless well of wisdom. I Recently came across one that grows more relevant all the time in which he was asked if we are at the dawning of a new age of light or at the edge of Armageddon. He replied that he didn’t know but that it doesn’t matter which it is because the work is the same. The best thing we can do is “quiet the mind to hear more clearly, open our hearts, and relieve the suffering in front of us.” That sticks with me so much.

[@DM-bd2vw]

Russel, watch the miracle of consciousness. "The game is not be high , its to be free." He taught me to use my incarnation as a vehicle to become awakened. I think he resonates so much with every soul because he was in search of truth
