Ram Dass | The Predicament of Modern Humanity | 90s Pt. 2 | [Black Screen / No Music / Full Lecture]

[@thespcorrea]

I've been on a spiritual path for a few years but heard Ram Dass only recently. I feel a stronger awakening now. His lectures just broke me open ❤

[@thesobrietyplaybook]

Yes me too his lectures opened my heart 💚

[@aliveandfree369]

Where we are at this moment is perfect🙏 Ram Dass was the same for me. May all beings everywhere be blissfull, healthy and in peace. May all beings be free ❤️

[@JamieNelson9594]

Discovering Ram Dass did the same thing for my spiritual path. I listen to him every night now. I just find so much comfort in what he says ☺️

[@fucking_smooth]

I have a KZbin playlist on my channel (the holy trinity) which is full of discourse by Alan Watts, Ram Dass and Terence McKenna. Great if you’re new to this sort of thing.

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

We at the channel celebrate this as a fulfillment our work's purpose!

[@Alisu91]

I just love how everyone loves Ram Dass...it's like we are Ram Dass groupies :)...and i feel better when i know there are others appreciating his words and heart just as much as I am

[@ObsidianCrocodile]

Yes, I imagine he can see us, wherever he is in space and time, and be happy that his legacy lives on in us, his words just as wonderful and relevant as they ever were. It’s truly beautiful that we’re all getting comfort and guidance from the same person. Peace to you my friend ☮️ ❤

[@Libertarian606]

RD would object to this deification. I would suggest that whilst it’s great to listen to the experience and wisdom of others, it is very damaging to create a hierarchy and put a particular person at the top of it. RD was no greater or lesser a person than any of us. This is not meant as judgemental though it is a judgement, just sharing my experience and wisdom(I hope!)❤️

[@dnbjedi]

Yes but the truth remains that without meeting Ram we would be much more confused and unfulfilled. I think the ego game is okay as long as you are aware of the consequences. There is value in holding a gem up for all to see

[@dnbjedi]

Ram is “the” western guru. This cannot be disputed. I don’t think he’s being deified he’s just being sanctified.

[@dnbjedi]

This is the same problem christianity had- they thought that they should make him the bosses son but all that did was make his example almost impossible to follow, or heretical. To say you are like Jesus is seen as blasphemous. When it is obvious that he wanted us to follow his example completely. They deified Jesus and he became some kind of freakish do gooder that wants everyone “to be happy and kind”. Yes there is a danger of this and you remind us of that.

[@IAMHEALEDPODCAST]

I love you Ram Dass... I love you Maharaji... Love & Light to all beings.. NAMASTE !!

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

BEAUT!! We at the channel appreciate this!

[@Ring13Dad]

Listening to Ram Dass is always, for me, like taking a muscle relaxer. I can simply settle into being.

[@jitend7776]

You are guiding light to me Ram Dass 🙏

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

Admin here - same here what a GOAT!

[@colmpennie4239]

Ram Dass, Thank you for everything I have learned from your wisdom and also the people who I have also heard of from listening to your talks. I indulge in them also. God Bless 🙏❤️

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

We at the channel thank you for listening!

[@emberlikeafire]

As a therapist who is on sabbatical having a career existential crisis this was amazing. I'm playing with being nobody!

[@thomasburke3013]

I relate as my life seems to have come to standstill and lost all meaning, but maybe this is just the process

[@dalehodges5362]

Nowhere Nothing Know We Are One Nowhere Nowhere is Here Now in a mirror Cool🎉❤❤

[@deborahholmes9240]

This is one of my most favorite lectures so far. Thank you so very much for putting it here!

[@adambrady7742]

1:29:16 “Life is like setting sail on a boat that about to go into the ocean and sink” Another ram dass quote to add to my collection.

[@RaNiaNameste]

Staying sane, grounded & focused on being a light in the world at this point in history is what is important. There's a fictional movie set in WWII France called "All the light we cannot see" that I feel personifies those like Shindler, the underground railroad in France that helped Jewish children escape, the Jews like Anne Frank that were hidden by good people & other such stories that will be playing out in our nation in the future under Christo-fascism & accelerating climate change. I have to constantly remind myself that I chose to live during this era & for a reason. To be a light in the darkness & a light worker being the change I want to see in the world. May we all be blessed to be the light in the darkness. Aho!

[@James_Kiel]

Here we are again

[@OutlawsAngels]

Thank you my friend Thaddus !

[@GeorgeRock-vb8ie]

When I dont know who I am I serve you when I know who I am you and I are one ❤️

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

Admin here - so essencey!

[@dnbjedi]

We are a tiny ember of advanced consciousness that the universe can give rise to. We are the gems of reality that gleam in the walls of the deepest caves. We are lost below the surface, but timeless, and unchanging. We gaze at the wondrous luminosity of awareness. The jewels of Indra’s net. I like to imagine a civilization of people like this. That can see suffering as a science to awaken the mind. Maybe someday in this infinity there will come a people that hold awareness as sacred over everything else. A marriage of nomadic tribalism with advanced scientific inquiry and technology. We are before our time, and we are of time itself. We realize that temporality is only temporary.

[@Libertarian606]

RD would object to the very notion of a president

[@ohheydarciemae1121]

16:06 is life-changing

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

We at the channel agree wholeheartedly and are so glad you feel that!

[@fungdark8270]

59:41 I’m there, dude I sort of “woke up” last year, became hopeful and assured, then it’s like my heart was ripped back open with the election But I’d so much prefer to be in pain and aware than happy and ignorant

[@ExistentiallyCrumbledPuffin]

Why the part at 44:41 talking about free masons was cut out?

[@stankymans]

8:01 😂 thats a great description of politics in general

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

Admin agrees haha

[@Therealskipbayless]

If only we substituted David Goggins and Andrew Tate for Ram Dass

[@roberto125919]

Great example of collective consciousness worshipping the ego in this age of materialism.

[@gardenradio4460]

@55:45

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

Admin here - jeeeez love this comment and wish all Tate- praisers took it to heart

[@Michael.sjj17]

where is part 1??

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

Admin here (now) - part one of our talks from the 90s series is on our channel called cracking the egg! Hope this helps!

[@robbyrish13]

Love that he mentions Donald trump at 55:15 haha

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

Admin here - amazing right? He is still so relevant with his insights!

[@danyrv6781]

Looking for some help, I have reached a point where I do know about me not being me and that just being the ego and then I say well just be but I am not and I don’t feel like doing practice and isn’t that the unfolding? Me not wanting that so… where do i go now?

[@dnbjedi]

Is there a 90’s part 1? In this trilogy? Couldn’t find it?

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

yes! Its called cracking the egg

[@beateifarta]

Thank you for sharing this, it feels important. As someone not from the USA, I wondered what Trump had done so many decates ago that made him a figure to talk about like he is here, could someone enlighten me in this small matter as well?

[@davehconner]

If George Carlin had been enlightened, this is what he would have sounded like.

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

Admin here - LOVE this take and totally agree!

[@emilylowrance7930]

enlighhtenment has one sound?

[@davehconner]

@@emilylowrance7930 Wouldn’t it be ironic if we argued about enlightenment. I think I’ll pass on that.

[@Libertarian606]

It amazes me how these comments are full of what is little more than the deification of someone who was just another human being like the rest of us. It’s like nobody has understood a word he said.

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

Admin here - hilarious comment, thank you!

[@genxcurmudgeon166]

Wow him mentioning Trump all those years ago is crazy. What would he think now.

[@Libertarian606]

RD clearly knew nothing about Mother Theresa

[@oliviergoethals4137]

55:00 about TRUMP. He already knew... Why doesn't half of a country sees this 30 years later.

[@ksarecords8099]

Their karma is their karma. Hating t to hem for liking trump just makes the problem worse. Hell we even have to love trump, but we don't have to support his actions

[@BabaRamDassChannel]

Admin here - even in his old age he had a photo of trump so that he could check his own heart for hatred!

[@oliviergoethals4137]

@@BabaRamDassChannel I never hated Trump ... I kinda feel sad for him. He is the most lonely person in this world.

[@peppermintspicelatte]

the only way out is in. truly, the only way i've made steps towards true change and activism has b een the inner journey. make room and space for others' inner journey within the bounds of your own. that is our mission. everyone must turn within. so become someone who can encourage others to turn within.
