    This teachings from this woman sort of reminds me of being a mom; with the consciousness and the ego and no time for yourself. Except that the kid will have to deal with you anyways, whether you’re conscious or not, and probably most are not but I try always to be and it’s a teaching in and of itself, for sure.

    Oh Ram Dass you answered my prayers tonight. I love you so much I forget because I feel so bad about myself but the truth is habitual patterns. I need to trust that I love fun. I am not perfect. Hanhanaman foundation can I work for you I am 74 now and want to be near you so I ascend. I need to give so I can create. I miss my Buddhist practice of Chogam Trumps. You give me Ordinary magic like he did!

    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.

    Whaddup chef. Welcome back. You ever wonder why we are all stuck with that mildly strange Trans-ATLANTICS type of accent English speakers use? Its rather odd to be honest, my orginal Egg language is a very guttural from of Latin. Like the french speak with a natural lilt. But ours has a deep grawl.. We need to be grateful, we have verbal characters that can be written. Reading beads is a nuanced and a nuisance. Boob food is nice. Yes, but ultimately it's a San Pedro slap clap. Regardless of "form" there are folks that like to imbibe based on form. Tantriclly and Tactically, Tubes are suitable for some. I find i like to get lost in the sauce thinking about returning as a Hummingbird and having my beak properly planted to the nurturing nectars. It goes without saying if you are harvesting fruiting bodies off a tube, pink man would say "that's pretty ghey". Can you imagine.. being one of the 3 stooges? To strike another without malice, count or suffering. And to receive the slap or knuckle blubber or conkers. Feels like liquid form breakdancing when you are passing the wave. I need to ask Jim and Sam what they make of this..

    What if this surrender to a thing that's a jealous God, and to give self up to a thing you don't know is to completely lose yourself. You become a slave to a thing that doesn't even show itself. Now you say it's all around you! Really! I don't see anything but a changing realm that spits me out allowing only suffering. Polarity! Okay.. try this for size.. We are taking ALL of a polarities negative side😂, whilst the other side of realm lives in pure blitz with never having to suffer because we're here for that. Now just what would you do to keep that easy loving polarity! I'd do this.. I'd write tons of books and create a religion and general belief that God loves you, to Surrender Unconditionally to that which isn't present! Really... So most make stories of seeing these gods, but the stories are all different giving each individual what they need to hear to keep them suppressed and to surrender the little life of a pain body we have. Now they feed you drug's, alcohol, pills, material crap etc. Etc Etc.. Now they control most by feeding the ego. The others you feed religion saying god needs u 2 surrender.. although being in his image! Aaaahhh really. I'm old and wise and have been doing this surrender and love even the evil as you do your loved ones! Really. I've asked for 8yrs 2c or hear anything showing an intelligent being.. only see this illusion. I've traveled to the black void.. I see it like this. Was able to break the curse by concentration.. popped into a silent calm black nothing. Like the Gin's holding cell. And I'm being drained while hanging by some device in a black nothing. You say the nothing is everything.. I say just maybe your really in a prison not of any gods making.. now I've asked 2c god or anything like. Unlike many I don't talk to these strange abstract things and say I spoke with a god or past person.. gotta be kidding me.. No video or anything that can show or provide proof of events claimed by many to occur regularly... Amazing Bullchit. I say we're all being drained whilst our true self is trapped hanging in a dark warehouse.. And a mechanism with mechanistic nature doesn't allow us to see it's mechanistic way's.. Now can someone please counter this with something besides these hollow words used in a world of lies and no truth available... Houston! There's a BIG problem.. we fool ourselves because our captives make the seekers feel a little better giving the illusion of you making headway. Now you praise that which you can't see... And make up very very strange stories of which you admit are fable's (lies) to pull others into the shuffle. Sorry.. I'm old and not much time left. And I've got not a shred of proof besides creating a story.. but oddly all stories are custom tailored to individual. Somethings wrong and I see lots of robotic people that can't think at all. How isy IQ so high! Doesn't make sense I'm alone in this thread... I need something before I surrender to something I can't observe in any way.. and around me is an illusion.. come in guys what gives here.. can't someone bounce these facts around! Why not Everyone's addicted to gods and material things in a known illusion. It can only be one of 2 things simultaneously. A riddle and a joke being played hopefully by a friend.. I can deal with that.. not this strange thing going on. Mm
