The wonderful teachings from Ram Dass will endure throughout time. He's a joy-seeker, a sage and just your garden variety soul being in a human spacesuit. I'm so grateful that I discovered him during my formative years. (70's-90's) He's the most gentle sage that lifts the world to this day! I hope the younger GENS find him and love him. May all that are reading this be joyous, loved and free. ❤💫✌

I wanna be free. We have to free ourselves though. Whether the teacher will remain behind the scenes or manifest as a person, the guru is always within. Joy isn't my goal. Freedom is. But the paradox is that freedom brings joy, so. But not the kind of fleeting joy that's conditional. It's probably more like a profound acceptance of ourselves as we are, and the world as it is.

9:15, Ram Dass

during great times of suffering i must remember it is all for the souls growth, much love ❤️

I can’t explain, how much these teachings have helped me help myself. Forever grateful. I ruined the relationship with the woman I loved most because I didn’t know the things I know now, when I was a younger man. Even though I miss her so, I’ve learned to still live a good life without her. And I’m a better person now everyday, then I ever was then 🙏

First timer here. Although I’ve heard many quotes from Ram Dass but didn’t look him up! I am delighted by this first time exposure of really hearing Ram and I cannot say enough about how spot on his messages are! His humor took me by surprise which was so beneficial & timely. What an incredible human being/Guru… I’m so grateful & I’ve subscribed & cannot wait for more from this beloved Man. I feel Blessed how this popped up ! No accidents! Wonderful. Thank you for this Channel 💚🙏🏻✌️ Buffalo, NY Instant Fan @81 yrs young. 🦋 Notes & saved.

Thank you so much for making these available. Infinitely grateful.

I’m hearing this at exactly the right time. I needed a reminder of unconditionality because I’ve been drifting into more of it lately. I long for one thing but live out another. Thank you for posting this.

Welcome back! Great topic and wonderful refresher on the basics we often forget.

Wow! This message hit me to the core of what I'm experiencing right now. I'm taking care of my mother as we speak. I definitely can understand the complexities of just life itself. I'm learning how to experience my journey on this earth with no judgment just understanding with compassion. And being open and vulnerable with the acceptance in it Thank you for sharing this beautiful message message of Mastery🥰❤❤❤

Coffee is my reward for getting up. ☕️❤ Not sure why it's trendy to hate on it just because some people react poorly to it. I dont expect everyone to give up gluten just because my body rejects it.

Thank you once again Ram Dass. It's been fifty plus years now. ❤🎉

Unfolded rather well🙂⚡️ Teaching these skills, is so beneficial to not lower, your most authentic self. Too bad, our government leaders, and those we look up to don’t come from this place. But we’re just as responsible for putting our hopes and failures on them. So many of us sit around and complain, but never do anything to set the example. Regressing, becoming rigid and angry. Free yourself and believe what is best for you will happen if you go with the flow .

This was exactly what I needed to hear right now❤️💗❤️ Life changing 🙏❤️🙏 Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

WoW! Thank you for sharing this. Just what I needed! Love the humor he blends into the spiritual quest for knowing ❤❤❤

"'When the student is ready, the teacher appears!!!"

Hi with LOVE to all of you who are out there and see this. I found Ram months ago by chance while listening to Trevor Hall music and coincidentally heard Ram speaking about sitting around the fire for eternity...that's another story. What I'm here for now is to admit that for 60 years I have deeply identified with loving WHOLY, (HOLY?..) EVERYTHING I know.. from a tree to a stranger...I feel that love for all, but yet I myself feel worthless, undeserving of love and unlovable. I am humbled to the point of tears by even the slightest kindness and weep daily at my yearning to simply be loved. I feel I have so much love to give away but none for me to give myself or any comfort in living so lonely. I'm 4 in a 60yo body just counting the days to disappear. I have endured loss and abuse and trauma. Neglect, injustices, failure, and broken-hearted pain. I have raised children to become good and kind, lived a creative life of small successes... yet I am nothing. What am I? Enlightened doomed or merely human? I'm very tired. I just want to be held by something who genuinely loves my being. I'm a good person, I think. I try. I am kind and gentle...and always there for those in need of any non-judgemental considerate love. How can I feel so empty and lonely still.? Is this a common place to be? Others out there like this? Help. 🙏

Thank you thank you thank you much love and light

I really enjoyed this show, Thank y🙏🙂

We could "break down our ego" in the same way we broke down our tooth fairy and our Santa Clause. Considering they all share the category of fantasies once believed in. They have no existence apart from assuming them to be real. We are told that the childish ideas can be dropped as we mature, but they never drop the ego fantasy. I won't wait for others to tell me.

Pushing down others as leverage to elevate yourself is a perfect example, illustrating an inflated ego disproportionate to your self esteem. 'That Freedom Guy' is fiction. It's all fiction. The ego. The absence thereof...fiction. Fiction is story telling. Story telling. It's what we humans do....but what do I know? Maybe you are right and everyone else is wrong....I would be interested in learning about it but in the meantime, why don't you create content elevating others which resonates?

First time, Thank you

Well spoken Thank you. I feel all those formsations and I laugh because it’s my truth not theirs. I don’t say anything. Although I did tell a friend recently that she disappointed me because she cancelled once again. I always take a higher road whenever I’ve been vulnerable with girlfriends the relationship ends. I do not care to that anymore. It’s my feeling

Wow I was at that lecture in Knoxville in '87!

I grew up in Asheville and never heard of the center of conscious living and dying. I looked it up and it’s located in Swannanoa, North Carolina.

My heart breaks every day. I'm so tired of this trip. Back and forth all the time. Happy, sad, pleasure, pain, despair, rapture. Mostly confusion. I'm tired of being human. They say its a gift. Is it a curse as well? There's nothing in this world you could offer me that I would want. Love is the ONLY thing that's worth breathing for. But nature is so cruel. Ugh.

This is very helpful, as he explains something allot of us are familiar with and struggling with to implement, to , well try to become out of the fallen state, and this geezer, explains it in an whole different lighthearted humorist way. This other perspective is illuminating, and opens doors, and explains concepts familiar with but not fully understood. He is a Gem. I resided in the state he described for 2 weeks, it was broken by a guy who recognized my state and seemed to notice me praying to Yeshuah internally, he ran towards me with a ferocious hate foaming at the mouth shouting profanities about Christ and God, though I bicycled hard enough felt back into the fear state. And gone was the perception of the divine presence in every person. I am deeply thankful for this 2 weeks, I know now, I don't believe. Ofcourse I recognize their are other Christ's and that it's not in the labeling or the images, but about the frequency, the state wich I call the Christ consciousness, because he pointed toawards this state, and teached how to reach it, the teaching is mostly outside of the bible though, for obvious reason of the ego driven institutionalized gatekeeping Church, who ignore his essence, wich is a travesty.

I'll say this! Every thing, you ever wondered about, questioned, doubted, falsely were made to be-lie-ve, etc., since you were even born, will be revealed to you, from within your own precious h-eart, mind and soul. Be still and KNOW you are the temple of the One who's true and set apart name, will also be revealed to you. You are very much, also set apart. Which they have wrongly translated, from the original Hebrew, to "saint"!

Hey there. I can’t find any info about your Asheville based community. I’ve been living in AVL for 5 years and I very much still in need of this type of community here. Could you share more about the meet ups?

So many teachings like this one from what has been called candy coated spirituality. Try being jewish in Poland after the German invasion and the terrible months of suffering that existed as reality before ultimate death. Talk about the terrible grace of God. And yet Victor Frankel wrote about witnessing it. Im just so grateful to be born baby boomer USA post that horror and hippie turned on by the likes of Ram Das who danced into our lives and teaches us still. Life and death in these times can surely be beautiful.
