We were teenage surfer kids trying to be enlightened in 1967 and Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert ( Ram Dass ) would walk around in front of The Mystic Arts World bookstore in Laguna Beach passing out legal Sandoz Laboratories pharmaceutical white lightening LSD tablets to anyone who wanted to see more than middle class American values . It was a magical time in the world and LSD was not yet illegal . You could go to a concert for fifty cents and see Big Brother and the Holding Company , Jimi Hendricks and Quiksilver Messenger Service and go surfing afterwards in the sunrise at Serena Point .

For me, I guess I’m in a place becoming nobody. Because there is nothing in me anymore that I truly trust. By “me” in this sense I mean the mind and the person who I have been. I have been many persons you see and non of those is the real me. I have found me now, the I. That is something steady and it doesn’t change, it is always here. But the illusion is still covering I many times a day and sometimes I wake up from something I lived as me after a week so.. Dwelling in I is only thing I know is real. But there is no desire or no push to do or go anywhere. Yet. So all I am is what I am now. But the rest is nothing. I don’t want to build another false sense of me.

god bless the other side must be happy to see you

[@notoriousbodhi3215]

The other side is you. He is living your life right now. No two are conscious simultaniously. Thats what he is trying to say. You are everything. While you are conscious, i dont exist. This is because i am living your life right now. The formless and the form. The same formlessness takes form of each individual 1 by 1. But there is only one formlessness... though there are an infinite amount of forms it takes. Cheerz

[@TheAndyvyas]

I really like the way he conveys his message/thoughts. The teachings are essentially the same as Puranas/Vedantas but the delivery of messages is very engaging. A beautiful soul!🙏🏻

Ram is so free in this one. I've listened to... like 300 of these. This one is special. A commentor mentioned it was performed 6 months before he had the stroke.

EXPERIENCING A HIGH BLISSFUL JOY and a DEEP SELFISH SADNESS upon learning that, on this Winter's day, the 22nd. of December 2019, our beloved guide, our gentle, funny Guru, (Baba) Ram Dass, has passed over to the other side of "Tthe Veil" that he parted so often for those of us on "The Path". Be not afraid little brothers and sisters! HE IS (Be) HERE NOW...EVERYWHERE...where else would he be? Jai Guru...

[@stephaniehunt3649]

Thank you, Craig, he is providing me comfort today from beyond

[@newavatar2947]

I had a cassette tape of him that was recorded in 1974. It had a profound effect on me. I feel guided towards more of his talks. Nice comment.

[@MichaelAdamsFilm]

this is true, he is alway around with his face, words, sound and heart. And when you want to hear him, just ask. Or look on youtube...

[@dianneschoenberg4681]

What a wise time he picked to exit stage left!

I’ve been listening to various lectures from Ram Dass and I love how he teaches higher consciousness. Also, I love his laugh, it makes me smile every time I hear it

[@GATSU1979]

Can listen to him for hours

[@TheSpiritualSavage]

I've come to the conclusion in the last 24 hours that Ram Dass never knew he was enlightened and that's what made him so special to us as a teacher. You'll never hear any other teacher talk about their battles along the journey, you just hear them say do this and do that, don't do this and don't do that etc. But I feel Maharaji knew that the western people needed to be taught in a western way and that was no big deal because In reality it's all good. So here we have the manifestation Neem Karoli Baba's teaching through the incarnation of Ram Dass. Its all The will of God , it's all God!

[@jennasandy3980]

I agree. If one says they are enlightened they are not. Because the person who was searching for enlightenment is no longer there and in reality never was there.

[@simplicityofunderstanding1215]

He is very honest I love him ❤️

[@AE0N777]

Enlightenment from a human is pretty basic if you ask me. For a human to seek enlightenment from another is like a grain of sand to seek enlightenment from another.

Holy moly this is a must see. I tried to watch it earlier(few years) but I had to get to a clearer space and closer to my own personal truth for it to really resonate. I feel there are many people on the verge of connecting with their consciousness like never before who could benefit from talks like these. I also recommend Alan Watts

Very much appreciated that Ram Dass left what would be to many to be a “successful life” to pursue something of greater and more lasting value. And then to share it with others in the family of humanity hoping to find and add to the purpose, meaning and love in world. 🙏🏼

I found him two days ago. I had seen Ram Dass with Edghart Tolle on stage 2020. I feel him like a perfect mixture in between Edghart and Sadhguru. Grownded, funny, highly and truly in love with everything. ..remembering my awaking where I loved the light post in the street and then the bisicle...so much that I started to cry in éxtasis. No mushrooms, no LSD, no Auyawaska. I meditated a lot and lost the fear.
