I recently posted a cry for help on another Ram Dass lecture explaining how that one didn't say a thing to me. This one was the opposite. Am I happy? Yes. Am I sad? Yes. Am I hopeful? Yes. Is it hopeless? . . .Yes.

[@raquelbaigorria638]

❤ thanks 😊😢

[@shoonyah]

You validated so much in this Ram Dass. Living on two planes trying to be a nobody from being a somebody...hoping to be everybody, is the longest waiting period for a caterpillar. But you say it in a funny way 😄

[@karl246111]

Ram dass. RAM = aries das = is in German. Ram DASS. He was an aries born in year of the goat. An explorer of the peaks

🤫You are not the body and mind, you are an Eternal Spirit identified and trapped in the body and mind, you have forgotten over many incarnations.🤔 There is no such thing as an individual,if you're experiencing yourself as an individual among other individuals then you "missed the mark"👿 The Matrix is your own bio computer virtual reality brain machine that keeps you in the illusion of being a physical Being a physical world VIA the nervous system and the five senses ( the Fallen Ange😈l and Original Sin or original mistake METAPHORS👿) meditation it is practice of putting the body and mind to sleep 😌but staying AWAKE and Alert inside until you experience yourself as Eternal Spirit.....😇as you once were . If you remain in your True and Original state🙏 after meditation it is called Nirvana, 😵‍💫Samadhi, Cosmic Consciousness, Heaven within - Luke 17 21, Prodigal Son🤫 The Tao, SELF-Realization Obtaining the Golden Fleece in Greek Mythology,😇 becoming a Demigod Moksha,🙏 Self Salvation etc all the same....

I love getting grounded with Ram Das!✌️❤️🙃

[@angryherbalgerbil]

The teachers list of student problem behavior is interesting. It's like the more we insist that there should be a cookie cutter conscription model to education, the more that the human heart rejects the enforcement, the stamp of "this is who we know you should be". This drive and push to create the "perfect world" at all costs, even to the point of the institutions deceiving themselves. Of course the list student "problem behaviors" is getting worse. The system of false complexity and unnatural truth grows ever more, they sense what's wrong, but cannot place or describe what's wrong. That's the Kafkesqué nature of the post-modern, post-truth era.

Rudolf Steiner has much to say about the concept of a primary group conciousness of the "lower" animals compared to our primary individual conciousness.

[@wallardb]

Thank you Jackie! I have very much enjoyed your introductions since you’ve taken over; I always loved Raghu’s as well. I always watch these soon after they’re uploaded, and mean to make it to the calls that you talk about, but have yet to make it to one. Hopefully soon Every time you say “Namaste and blessings” I say aloud “thank you Jackie.”

[@josephmcgrath6923]

New to this yet it’s familiar , I’m 57. I’ve been alone for about years. I’ve chosen to numb the pain of my predicament until now. No awareness no habits just here search g for nothing

I notice Ram Dass and Anthony De Mello draw from same sources - even the mustard n ketchup story. Or else one is borrowing from the other because the words are identical in many of their sentances.
