Ram Dass - Here and Now - Ep. 176 - Loving & Dying

[@jenmdawg]

My lord I needed this. This is my last few hours in the home I shared with my fiance who died a year ago - last night as I packed up the final things I thought the grief was going to destroy me.

[@harrietsand9715]

Ram Dass for me is grace. What a remarkable man he was, he is. He has explored life and deaths profound meaning and came out with so much beauty, he has learned his lessons well and shared so much wisdom in the process. Much gratitude to you Ram 🙏

I've always thought that we're here until we're finished and then we leave. That could be at 6 months or 90 years

[@allisonblaustein7898]

My son died 6 months ago. This gives me hope.

Is that logo at the beginning new? I like it

Thanks for speaking on behalf of Richard for 12 minutes. No need to listen to Ram Dass now... Ram Dass is a title given to him, he was aligned with Hanuman in praise of his understanding and experience... It's not your or my label... The path is not for feet to follow. Next time, just be a D.J. and let's move on... F..F..F.. He changed his understanding as fast as life lived in him. Find that insight. Please.

Find some more love and openness in ur heart my dear friend. I enjoy listening to ragu Marcus, sometimes his words inspire me. Sometimes my ego can’t stand to listen to him, thus I fast forward, but I appreciate every world view given. We’re all sharing maps. Peace and love ❤

[@itsmeurboy]

Life can be so unbelievably painful.

[@ildikolawrance2543]

And beautiful in equal measure...

This is Ram Dass being very egotistical and academic about death... before he had his stroke and actually confronted his own mortality. It's hard to listen to this know-it-all who is just spouting concepts he hasn't actually experienced.

[@zenmystic111]

He had a non-experience of being separate from/seeing it all through his soul identify when he had done is first mushroom trip. He had so many psychedelic trips in his life and many vipassyana/ Buddhist retreats and sessions. All of these methods lead to a space of non egoic experience which can be as profound as physical death.

[@alyonagrinberg7160]

I was thinking about this too. I’ve been listening to so many spiritual teachers and I completely understand and feel what they say, but when I am in a really bad pain (due to cancer), even with all my knowledge and practice, it’s really hard to except and love the pain. I’ve listened to Ram Dass after he had his stroke and he said that he loved his aches and pain. I tried that, and I start loving the pain going away after I take a painkiller pill.

[@blanocas]

We lose so much time trying to understand what these teachers have experienced or not (see how many people ask Krishnamurti about his paranormal experiences or Nisargadatta about his telepathy) and not as much trying to see if we can relate at a deeper level to their content. It either is relevant for you at this stage or it isn't. Trying to dissect other people or entities before doing that to ourselves (whatever that means) ends up being a hobby, a way to entertain ourselves. We have no clue what other people have experienced or not until we know what we have truly experienced.

[@TarotTwinFlames11]

I did not sense ego talk here. Did we listen through the same Spaciousness?

[@blancemoore]

Respectfully, these perspectives take time to “sink in”…. But that’s from a conventional/self position. As identification with the conventional self/ego loosens, bigger (previously threatening) views open up.
