Ram Dass: How to Be Responsive, Not Reactive - Ep. 246

[@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 🙏

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.

[@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🥰❤❤❤

[@alejandra_lovelife]

❤ loved this episode. Full of laughter and meaningful moments.

[@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...” 🎤

[@Fatal-Ice-Cream-Dream]

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.

[@MsGaella]

Ram Dass is such a masterful storyteller and spiritual teacher. So uplifting!

[@chrisikeda-nash7070]

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.

[@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. 🙏

Great intro thanks. No more coffee… with you on that one!

[@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.

[@greenio2011]

I love you RamDass! I am forever grateful for 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 .

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.

Ramdas I went to Maui in 1995 to 97 I was in Kihei at big Beach staring on the side of the road at the entrance and out of the woods comes a guy out of the desert basically in all the prickly trees in the cacti across the street from that entrance to big beach comes Ramdas didn’t know who he was just in the woods so we lived in so we hung out with the guy took to our house he slept on our porch on a hammock for about a week and then we also went to Black sand Beach hand on a full moon night and we dug up some book and he had buried years show of a story of some ritual where they had some women’s child birth in hana 3:57 there and they had to go dig up this book wrapped in plastic i also think he is my father not who my tellsme is. she was a secretary at m i. t. when he was lecturing at mit in the year 1970. ty ramdas i learned alot from very cool man

[@marcelkuiper5474]

This is very helpful, as he explains something allot of us are familiar with and struggling with to implement, to , well try to become out of the fallen state, and this geezer, explains it in an whole different lighthearted humorist way. This other perspective is illuminating, and opens doors, and explains concepts familiar with but not fully understood. He is a Gem. I resided in the state he described for 2 weeks, it was broken by a guy who recognized my state and seemed to notice me praying to Yeshuah internally, he ran towards me with a ferocious hate foaming at the mouth shouting profanities about Christ and God, though I bicycled hard enough felt back into the fear state. And gone was the perception of the divine presence in every person. I am deeply thankful for this 2 weeks, I know now, I don't believe. Ofcourse I recognize their are other Christ's and that it's not in the labeling or the images, but about the frequency, the state wich I call the Christ consciousness, because he pointed toawards this state, and teached how to reach it, the teaching is mostly outside of the bible though, for obvious reason of the ego driven institutionalized gatekeeping Church, who ignore his essence, wich is a travesty.

[@theresefournier3269]

I'll say this! Every thing, you ever wondered about, questioned, doubted, falsely were made to be-lie-ve, etc., since you were even born, will be revealed to you, from within your own precious h-eart, mind and soul. Be still and KNOW you are the temple of the One who's true and set apart name, will also be revealed to you. You are very much, also set apart. Which they have wrongly translated, from the original Hebrew, to "saint"!
