terrence was asked by a young woman who had an experience of awakening, what she should do now. he gave a 3 word answer that i feel realy applies here. FIND THE OTHERS! so do that young people, seek us out we need you

"This culture is intrigued with iphones, etc, and they have to look within. It is hard to look within with the 'pizzaz' of the culture. It's tough to be a young person in our culture; they get pulled outward because things are available to them in communication, sex, drugs, and unless they use their awareness to find their inner guru they are not going to get find the true spiritual self" I believe RD is saying there are more distractions than ever, and we have to stay strong to be liberated

He is so beautiful. Thank you Ram Dass

Im so glad I have found this video, Its difficult to find young people where I am from who are interested in the ideas of people such as Alan Watts, Ram Dass and so on. It's nice to see in the comments that they exist, Lovely message from Ram Dass as well, thank you for uploading.

Awesome. "Its easy to get distracted from the inner self with the 'pizazz' of the culture... but children can't just look out at these little I-phones and things, they have to look within." Psychedelic advice in a modern context, good 'ol Ram Dass is still keepin the light alive!

So true, life has never been so full of external distractions as it is today. I just hope that those who are true seekers of the ultimate truth can see through attachment towards that which is temporarily fulfilling. If they truly want to find inner-peace then they will eventually see through all distractions and uncover the most precious gift of self-realisation.

Thanks for your appreciation! He's a blessing to us all for sure!

Inner space is as vast and infinite as outer space! Evolution of consciousness is going on in real time! We are so fortunate to be alive in this time of incredible technical achievements, but consciousness is a mysterious thing and as soon as you say that is what it is, it ceases to be that!

I've always wondered what one of the great minds of yesteryear would have to say about the culture of our time... this is amazing.. thank you

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm prepping for a deep yoga session this morning with some Ram. I have a deep fondness for Ram and hearing him speak out to my generation is a true blessing.

Thanks for the video! I'm a young (17 years) "spiritual seeker" as you would call it haha :) I've been trying to reach that Place: God, Brahma, The Void, whatever you want to call it, since I've experienced ego loss through many drug highs. I have many attachments (technology, DRUGS, narcotics, alcohol, materials, clothes, acts of ego and theft, etc.) that hold me back from coming back to HOME, what I know is the true nature of reality :) I want to clean my act up. I want to devote myself to the path of getting back Home, without all of the external bullshit!!

Hey Thomas. Your story is so familiar to my own, except I was 24 when I finally ended up in detox/rehab due to my own drug/alcohol addiction... but that's what subsequently became the catalyst for my own spiritual awakening-though it's still an unfolding process and has had MANY "bottoms" throughout the process. I don't mean to drop a shameless self plug here, but I truly think a book I wrote that was just published a few months ago may be of help to you, again because it sounds like we have a lot in common. It's called "Indie Spiritualist" and Ram Dass was kind enough to endorse it. You can find it on Amazon or in any of your local bookstores... Wishing you all the best on your journey. It's amazing that you have this awareness at 17 already!

I feel with you! Have allmost the Same story. You are Not alone. Hardest thing to learn for me is to really love myself. But im so so glad to be in this process.. Love&light from germany

Man, Thanks for the upload!!! I watched Fierce Grace a few weeks ago and it has made an enormous impact on my life, I probably don't even know the full extent yet...namaste!

Ram Dass is amazing! What a man.

Glad you enjoyed it Joe! Thanks for letting me know!

Thank you for all the inspiration Ram Dass, rarely someone touches my heart like you do. Thank you for the upload!

i love ram dass but man it bums me to see him like this... i can see how much it bothers him when the words don't flow.

Thank you for posting. Most appreciated.

My thanks to you for checking it out and leaving a comment. I'm glad it resonated with you!

Absolutely! He nailed it for sure.

Couldn't agree more!

Man this is powerful

Love you Ram Das :)

For sure Malcolm. Thanks for watching!

Very glad you dug it! :)

This is cool

It's all love. :)

Interesting you say that. The full interview was 45 minutes and I didn't get that vibe from him myself. Either way, yes, love Ram Dass!

Namaste!!!! it's very difficult for me to see inside myself .. i really want to know about my spirit but i do not know why i am waiting for someone ...that who will help me to see it but i know that there is only me who can see my own spirit ...and i am waiting for that moment

To look within, you gotta really want it bad ! So bad that nothing else matters, you gotta want it !! Then ask for it.

Yes, there are more distractions, temptations now, than in all the history of Mankind! But when the student is ready, the guru will appear!

For a while I thought why is the interviewer sat in that position to him? That's a bit weird :)

Allan, this is from an interview I conducted with Ram Dass and not his personal KZread page. Just wanted to give you the heads up that he doesn't see these comments. I appreciate them myself however. Be well.

No problem at all. Be well.

Richard, back in your days at Harvard, there was a party, and at this party there was a young Indian student speaking about the Mysticism of the East. I believe when you listened to him, you headed off to India, so legend has it. He is my Sat Guru. I thought you would like to know that he is still alive, and is what some believe is a " Perfect Living Master." His name is Ishwar Puri JI. If you do a search on KZread, you will find many, very esoteric,and profound teachings by this man. Peace

To everyone that likes Ram Dass's work i recommend a book called The Present, you can find it on Truth Contest. It's the most revolutionary book i have ever read.
