Ram Dass - Here and Now - Ep. 144 - Accepting How It Is
: beherenownetwork.com/ram-dass...
================
In this talk from 1992, Ram Dass looks at how quieting the mind allows us to accept life how it is, including all of the love, suffering, joy, and discomfort that comes with it.
It is all happening as it should in our lives so that we can grow to become free. Ram Dass shows us how cultivating spaciousness and trust allows us to sit comfortably with all life has to offer and connect with the inner truth that guides us.
Accepting How It Is
Ram Dass explores the karmic predicament that is involved in the difficult and complicated matter of abortion. He looks at how we become less manipulative of the universe the way it is as we become more conscious.
“I think the whole issue of birth and death is clouded in mystery, which we have not yet freed from the projections that come out of our own desires and our own fears. So it is really hard to hear the whole issue.” - Ram Dass
Our Karmic Predicament (20:25)
How can we find liberation in embracing our own karmic predicament? Ram Dass reflects on questions regarding war and developing non-attachment in our response to difficult situations. RD shares what he learned around accepting his current karmic predicament after visiting the Dachau concentration camp.
“You can keep you emotional heart open, so that it is breaking moment after moment after moment. Yet beyond the unbearable, here we still are. As you continue on the spiritual path, you are able to look at the immensity of suffering without turning away.” - Ram Dass
Love, Death & Attachment (35:00)
We look at the kind of living love that exists between one another - independent of the labels that we put on it. Ram Dass talks about resting the space that is created by that love. He explores the attachment towards form that makes love and death so difficult to accept. Lastly, closing with a revealing story about the intricacies of karma and death.

    I love how people can listen to Ram dass, probably convincing themselves they are taking his words to heart. Then unapologetically shit on someone who put in all the work to put these talks together. I get skipping the intro, but you hate the guy? Wtf? No he's not charismatic and sometimes hes redundant, but the animosity i read video to video shows how the ego uses ram dass and truly assimilates nothing. People who hate unapologetically want to want enlightenment but they will never give up their judgement. They don't want to. How else are you going to prop yourself aside from shitting on people who annoy you? Please get over yourself . Skip the intro if you'd like. But give your hate to kali. Actually give it up. For yourself.

    M.K. Gandhi was not as blind to need for military action as people make him out to be. In 1947, Gandhi said this to a senior military officer on eve of a military conflict when the latter expressed his loss of words over Gandhi's anti war stance: “You’re going in to protect innocent people, and to save them from suffering and their property from destruction. To achieve that you must naturally make full use of every means at your disposal.” Gandhi was also against Arm's Act passed by the British which prohibited Indians from carrying firearms. Yes, Gandhi took ridiculous anti war stance in some situations eg. in case of Nazi Germany, but he was not blind on this topic.

If it was about speed, we would not have long winded symphonies… long winded dancing, long winded musicians… we would, under your thinking, reward quick music, quick dances, quick journeys… slow down and smell the roses. 🙏💕🕉 BTW - I am fast forwarding to Ram, but I don’t need to slay Ragu to push the button… that’s ego… isn’t it?
