================
Ram Dass shares a reflection on the different kinds of spiritual practice available to us and looks at how they each offer the potential to liberate or keep us trapped in our egos.
A Practice Of Liberation 21:35
How do we get free of the traps of our attachments and aversions? Ram Dass looks at the way that spiritual practice can liberate us from the cycle of karma. He explores the many practices available and offers guidance on choosing the practice best for us as we are.
“Each of us is the manifestation of a unique karmic predicament that has to do with balances of mind and heart and energies. It has to do with the whole web of attachments and attractions and aversions of our mind. What practice do you do to get free?” - Ram Dass
Letting Go (30:25)
Can the phenomena that arise with spiritual practice become just another trap for the ego? Ram Dass discusses the potential for these experiences of joy and peace to entangle us as well as liberate us.
“Ulitimately the grabbing at enlightenment is a trap. Yet you aim there and you yern. Finally you realize that you can’t grab. You develop a certain type of patience as you come into timelessness - whats the rush? Where are you going anyway?” - Ram Dass
Listening To The Moment (39:10)
Ram Dass looks at the inherent wisdom that exists in each of us. Wisdom that bubbles the surface as we quiet the mind through practice. He closes with a reflection on the integral relationship between personality and spiritual practices.
“There is no dishonor in working with personality stuff. The only thing is that it is like the garden of infinite delight. It is very seductive. You have to balance it with very deep spiritual practice in order not to get sucked in.” - Ram Dass

    !n 27:20 he mentions energy systems work with Yogi Bahjan (which is actually pronounced BUDD-Junn, soft U's) and from doing his brand of Kundalini Yoga everyday for years , was primarily an energy trip which increased al ot of individual power trips with little moral context. So many self-important narccissists, including Bahjan himself, reinforced the selfish and ruthless parts of their personality, that calling it "yoga" became a misnomer for the practice. So many top echelon people in his organization got caught up in illegal an unethical financial practices, very far from the Sikh path of service and protection of the weak.

    This comment is to peacefully protest the gatekeeping of RD’s lectures. Common complaints as elucidated by the community on the Ram Dass subreddit are as follows. Removal of content, privatizing/licensing out content, copyright striking others who post content without replacing what was removed or providing another means to access the content. Restriction of what is released, cutting and editing pieces of full lectures and not releasing the full lectures themselves. Putting a paywall in place that provides access to still limited content. Access to content is overall severely limited compared to just a year or two ago.
