A week ago I did a ram dass meditation on self love and I burst into tears seconds before he started to om. I felt something I forgave myself for not loving me for over 2 decades. Nothing any paid therapist I’ve been to has been able to do.! 😂And strange thing about it was I had no idea he was going to do that meditation in this particular lecture I had put on. Thanks for letting me share.

Wow. I have had these shifts myself - some become instant and permanent and some fade but that I’ve experienced it has always changed me in a powerful way. Ram gets me in ways no one else has and then that “me” I’ve clung to or believed in gives way to peace. Your comment makes me happy.

Been here a couple times. He did a loving awareness meditation and it left like I was in that room and could feel his presence, the tears just came and I unloaded alot I had kept in. Ram Dass has had a huge impact on my life through these lectures and meditations.

I read Be Here Now when I was 13. Then in High School as part of a School Within a School, an alternative program, we had Ram Dass come and speak. We sat with eyes closed and suddenly- there was his voice- powerful (!) Then I heard him 'speak' at the Scottish Rite Temple in Oakland- wonderful (!) Then at a small building in Marin. When it was over I was standing outside, and he got into a Volkswagen Bug and as they pulled away our eyes met and it was so beautiful- here-now- being recognizing being, consciousness recognizing consciousness. 🎉 Gratitude 🙏 Baba 🕉

Pure gratitude 🙏 I was able to see him speak in Maui just by random chance and the experience of the entire room being present with him was unbelievable

I am British and I bought Be Here Now back in what would be around 1972 - 1974. It had a dramatic effect on my life. Together with this book, I also read the other book that would change my thinking for a lifetime, Paramahansa Yogandanda's Autobiography of a Yogi. So, together, two enlightened beings that I still idolize after what, about 50 years!! Bless you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@mldrafts560 You’re very kind, which makes sense because people interested in love, kindness, and all the good stuff typically find their way to guys like Ram Dass and or spiritual practices and teachers. I don’t know what I need. I just turned 53 a few days ago and I’ve had suicidal shit since I was 9 years old. It’s plagued my mind, mood and emotions for 44 years. It seems to get worse every year too. Sone days are better than others and I can completely ignore the mind and all its narratives, other times I identify with it, as it, and it’s a fight to stay alive. I’ve been sober 10 years using 12 step method after 35 years of chronic late stage alcoholism and addiction. There have been many profound, incredible and beautiful awakenings and peak experiences but the suicidal mind is well grooved and is always there. I don’t talk about it in 12 step meetings because it scares people I think so I just fight alone using whatever I can. I went to Catholic school as a kid and they threatened us with stories of devils, demins and eternal torment in a lake of fire so I’m constantly afraid of dying too. Absolute child abuse imo. What horrible things to tell innocent children 🥺 I can’t get rid of it either, it’s always there. Anyway, idk. I appreciate your loving concern. ❤️ It’s just my karma I guess.

I thank Ram Dass for his works. Umm, if I may add a caveat- humbly speaking. Somewhere, some how there is a misnomer. For there is no 'here'. Incremental 'nowness' is non abiding. So may i posit, aprapos of nothing: Ritual Simplicity. For experience is apt to come full circle, like the worm ouroburos swallowing it's own long lost...wel, you needn't teach grandma how to suck an egg. Thanks KZreadrs.
