Ram Dass: Your Vehicle to Liberation - Here and Now Ep. 209

In this talk from 1987, Ram Dass explores the cusp between form and formless, how he learned to love all the faces of the Beloved, and how our work on ourselves is a vehicle to liberation.

The Cusp Between Form and Formless (Opening)
Faces of the Beloved (15:35)
Your Vehicle to Liberation (32:25)
“Just what’s on your plate, that’s your vehicle to liberation. If you’re turning away from anything, it’s got you. As you cultivate the emptiness and start to feel safe in the formless, you will be able to dive more deeply into the form. Most people are afraid of the form that are on the spiritual journey, for fear they’ll get lost in it. When you really want truth and want freedom, you need have no fear. You’ll go under for a moment, but you’ll come up.” - Ram Dass

glad I found this

[@hipnicity]

We’re facing some dark days in the USA. I LOVE this message! I am right where I AM supposed to be.☮️❣️✨

[@Rayvn67]

The dark days are past. We have more than enough experience to change our future. We can also face a bright tomorrow rather than the dark days. See the possibilities, not just the apparent inevitability. Sometimes it works, so I keep trying. Sometimes is good enough for me.

[@scraghunting6800]

Bless your heart for this gift, thank you🙏

I don't know why - I had to stop and laugh when he said-the curriculum is horrendous..

[@JaiSriRam1777]

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.

[@noneya9035]

4:15 RD starts. See that’s how it should be. Not ten mins of gate keeping. Why doesn’t Alan Watts talks have those long intros?

'This is my yoga right now' Baba, I felt this

[@Rayvn67]

Walking the tightrope between feeling it all while accepting it as what it should be is hard; the discomfort of the pain makes me want to turn away, but the light is on the other side of the pain; the wisdom and acceptance can only be experienced after being chosen. I can only feel now what I chose to feel when I acted last. I can choose to act differently than I feel or think, but what I feel or think Next() will be related to what I choose todo Now();

[@0127dlucas]

Still teaching! Ram Ram

What an intellect to be able to understand stuff intellectually and also what a beautiful heart who is trying to reach god and be god.

[@Rayvn67]

Intellectual understanding is just one rung on the ladder. I longed for the ability to feel the truth long after I felt I understood it.

[@QuaaludeCharlie]

Good Works .

[@dlld6991]

Baba, you are a beautiful soul. You continue to share Wisdom, Truth and Love ❤
