I gave up deep anger differently. Ram Dass in 42 minutes says "when anger came up he would go into devotional practices and just let go, and the same anger came up again." I did this for months during Meta Meditation and there would be a tightness in my throat and chest. I kept meditating on the feeling until one day during meta-mediation I had a vision that I fell to the ground from being so exhausted from this feeling burdening me, and my dad caught me in his arms and he said. "Its time to forgive your mum for belting you and controlling you as a child". I was so exhausted from hate and anger towards my mum that I had to forgive her. I cried and cried and cried and I forgave my mum and I loved her. I learned my lesson that anger can be so deep that it stops you from loving, feeling love, and experiencing the divine of being connected to the divine in all beings. Today I had several breakthroughs in my anger like that and I now walk around with an open heart.

I grew up in church and heard thousands of sermons. I went to seminary and heard more sermons and lectures. Then I went to college and listened to hundreds more lectures, talks, speeches (which is what a sermon is)....this is *easily* and by far the most profound of them all. The most truth-FULL. The most impactful. The one most full of LOVE.

Paraphrasing, not sure the source but what you wrote reminded me-Truth without compassion is tyranny.

i recently lost my beloved healthy husband of 38 years years suddenly to Covid. I had been listening to Ram Dass' lectures over the past year, as though in preparation for this. I am well without resistance, surrendered, embracing everything, even grateful for the opportunity to commit to finding my life's purpose. When I wonder how I can be so after the loss of my beloved, i turn to this talk... "what truly connected you to that person at the deepest level was that quality of identity in the quality of love, where can it go?"

In the sunrise forenoon, in the sway of a tree, in the light of the full moon, this love is free.

It happened to me that way, too. I met someone who had that key and unlocked things in me -- and my key in him -- which I thought were dead or non-existant within. Everything Ram Dass describes in this talk is what I witnessed and moved through, and am still moving through. What an ocean I am navigating. :)

The lover that leans upon the beloved’s response... his love is like the flame that needs oil to live. But he lover who stands on her own feet is like the lantern of the sun that burns without oil.

On Love : When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him, Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. • Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast. All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart. But if in your fear you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. • Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. When you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am in the heart of God.” And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own under- standing of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy; To return home at eventide with grati- tude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. - Kahlil Gibran

of course, follow what helps you find meaning and purpose and love. peterson just harbors so much hate, to me.

One of my absolute favourite RD talks! Surrender is the pre-requisite for love. If we cannot let go of someone then we can only cling and in this tightness, love transforms into something else. Our surrender allows the beloved the space to grow which they then bestow on us. In my experience there is always a pulse of attachment, then surrender, attachment then surrender. In this way, we become loose enough in our attachment until we can love deeply, without clinging. So there's nothing wrong with getting attached as long as one is doing the work to free oneself from that attachment with the pulse of attachment then surrender. Love.

This came at such an opportune time. Of coarse it did.

Awesome! I graduated Hs. 1993... Discovered Allan Watts, too. Welcome home to your heart.

The path has been before me, but it has been unclear...patchy and broken. The title of the lecture drew me in; his words and the words of others brought clarity and confirmation that what I've felt is my direction is true. The path had always been true, now my feet are confident and my being knows the way. Endless thanks, Ram Dass.

“The mind makes distinctions between this and that ... the quality of the heart is that it keeps Being boundless, it keeps embracing everything into itself, it doesn’t even discriminate itself from other things”

THIS. Baba taught me how to live. There are no words to express my gratitude.

Brought to tears and laughter, over and over again. 🙏🏼💗 Ram Ram Ram Thank you Ram Dass.

51:50 From a Normandy crucifix of 1632 I am the great sun, but you do not see me, I am your husband, but you turn away. I am the captive, but you do not free me, I am the captain but you will not obey. I am the truth, but you will not believe me, I am the city where you will not stay. I am your wife, your child, but you will leave me, I am that God to whom you will not pray. I am your counsel, but you will not hear me, I am your lover whom you will betray. I am the victor, but you do not cheer me, I am the holy dove whom you will slay. I am your life, but if you will not name me, Seal up your soul with tears, and never blame me.

By far my favorite of his talks.

Thank you Ram Dass and thank you all 💛 love and peace always

1:08:33 O Sadhu! the simple union is the best. Since the day when I met with my Lord, there has been no end to the sport of our love. I shut not my eyes, I close not my ears, I do not mortify my body; I see with eyes open and smile, and behold His beauty everywhere: I utter His Name, and whatever I see, it reminds me of Him; whatever I do, it becomes His worship. The rising and the setting are one to me; all contradictions are solved. Wherever I go, I move round Him, All I achieve is His service: When I lie down, I lie prostrate at His feet. He is the only adorable one to me: I have none other. My tongue has left off impure words, it sings His glory day and night: Whether I rise or sit down, I can never forget Him; for the rhythm of His music beats in my ears. Kabir says: " My heart is frenzied, and I disclose in my soul what is hidden. I am immersed in that one great bliss which transcends all pleasure and pain. " Kabir

14:20 quote from “the prophet” by Khalil Gibran, one of my favorite books. that’s the first dialogue after the intro, it’s about love and it’s profound, I’d recommend that book to ANYONE, too bad ram dass forgot to credit it, amazing lecture regardless
