In this episode of Here and Now:
Ram Dass begins with a guided meditation focusing on the qualities of awareness, which include spaciousness, equanimity, and love
Ram Dass answers questions from the audience on a variety of topics, including reconciling suffering and grace, the crossroads of spirituality and politics, the process of learning to love yourself, assisted suicide, homophobia, and encountering sadness during meditation
Ram Dass ends by leading the audience in singing “Jubilate Deo” in a six-part round
“May each of us become such clear and pure instruments of light, of love, of presence, of clarity, of equanimity, that the light of spirit pours through our every cell and everybody we meet is touched by living spirit, no matter how we meet them, in whatever role in life. Then, where we are, everywhere we look we will see flowers blooming. It’s what the sun sees when it looks down from above. What grace. What incredible grace.” - Ram Dass

I love this man. Nowadays people still discussing about these topics whit such rightjustness I can´t imagine how fearless he had to be (full of love) to be able to share this type of opinions considering it was decades ago

[@wondergirl60s]

Jai Ram Shri Ram 🙏❤️🕉️

The part in this talk that was very impactful is when he said, I’m gonna let you in on the secret your dying was very sobering

[@foreveryactionthereisacons1683]

I like when he says how dying is completely safe. It's like taking off a tight shoe.

[@owlexS]

Wow! This was a big one. The opening meditation really resonated and watered a seed that needs to grow, which is loving myself. The Q&A after was powerful, rich, and heavy. How fun to round off and lift up this segment with the singing! 🥰 I could imagine being there! I'm very grateful for this and enjoyed it very much.

[@austinmullis8171]

The beginning literally broke me into tears for a while honestly. That full acceptance and compassion for the separate self in me is exactly what I've been missing

[@jacobcontreras458]

That singing stuff at the end, yeah, just listen to I Found a Way by Drake Bell instead you’ll get the same thing. Just put it on loop, loop your favorite lyrics, doesn’t matter it will get you there

[@giuliadivilio4551]

where can i find the script of his words

[@Jmplays911]

He wrote so many books from be here now to you are the universe. There's probably over 15. They are all on Amzon.

[@foreveryactionthereisacons1683]

Be here now now is his go to book. I'm sure all his books are fantastic though.
