How To Keep Your Heart Open In Hell - Ram Dass

  • Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then - his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.
    Since 1968, Ram Dass has pursued a panoramic array of spiritual methods and practices from potent ancient wisdom traditions, including bhakti or devotional yoga focused on the Hindu deity Hanuman; Buddhist meditation in the Theravadin, Mahayana Tibetan, and Zen Buddhist schools, and Sufi and Jewish mystical studies. Perhaps most significantly, his practice of karma yoga or spiritual service has opened up millions of other souls to their deep, yet individuated spiritual practice and path. Ram Dass continues to uphold the boddhisatva ideal for others through his compassionate sharing of true knowledge and vision. His unique skill in getting people to cut through and feel divine love without dogma is still a positive influence on many people from all over the planet.

    Something I never realized before now: it’s ok to be sad and happy at the same time in this world. I don’t have to constantly find reasons for things or fight with myself to be more optimistic. It’s a new definition of “allowing” that I never really took note of before. If that makes sense? Awesome speech, regardless.

      Same here because as you grow older, you will more and more experience the loss of loved family, friends, and pets. And if you don't acknowledge that this is the way life is, you will wallow in your sadness. So you might as well embrace it because it's not going to get any better. And your sadness will never go away and so it becomes part of your life as a bitter-sweet melancholy, and at the same time, that doesn't have to affect your happiness.

    I find it utterly astonishing and tremendously gorgeous how we all gather here from different places of the world and share this profound experience called life. In this moment, right now. Through this video.
    We are seemingly different yet we all fundamentally have longing for the one thing that connects us all together - love. Through that we can see a glimpse of ourselves even in our worst enemies eyes. And there it lies; an everlasting truth. You know that behind those harsh words and actions hides part of the same love that you feel, part of the same love that you once thought you're missing and thus felt a deep longing for. Give that, be that. It's our essence.

      I watched this video less than 12 hours before my dearest cat suddenly died a couple of days back. Prior to that, I lost my eldest cat two months before.
      I had a dream of a tsunami a week before my dear cat died and it was one of the most memorable dreams I've ever had because I felt genuine fear for my real life as I was experiencing that. I now consider it as a sign from God that I should have prepared my heart.
      I went through that fresh, raw grief with these words in my heart. I can only trust the process and have faith in the Universe at this point.

      Wow my star family… SAME! Put my beloved cat in the ground Saturday. Had more grief to express than I could make sense of… cumulative I believe it becomes… or at least opens the place where we can experience other losses that coke to bear witness and release more along with the current grief. The perfection of EVERY word, person, interaction, feeling, etc etc,.. is all perfect - and easier to notice during such intense moments of the alchemy of releasing our grief, courageously having all the feelings we can, so that we may release and let go, again… and again… until the final letting go … yes indeed… we are walking each other home. 🌟🙏🌟

    This video feels like it came at the exact right time. With everything going on in the world right now, I felt overwhelmed at all the suffering in the world, and also at the potential for more suffering in the future. Listening to the video allowed me to open my heart a little and to feel the humanity within each of us, within myself. To be able to appreciate the troubling emotions of the troubling times. See the suffering and inhumanity of the world fully and to let myself cry. To let myself see the beauty of the world, when I take a step outside and see the birds flying in the sky and the trees dancing in the wind. To look at all of life and be able to say how its all perfect. to see the pain and joy and still be able to say
    and this too...

      Unfortunately, Ram was led by darkness and didn't realize it. He wanted to be of course light-filled, but some of the things he did show this. It's a dangerous world, our souls are at stake. Spiritual awakening is usually not what it appears. Only Jesus Christ can open our eyes through repentance and cleansing of sins. See, many things these days omit the reality of sin. The new age industry that Ram Dass was a part of is a deception of darkness to take many souls to hell. Seek the Lord Jesus Christ, He is the Alpha and Omega. I agree the world is a beautiful place, but it is also saturated with darkness and deception. It's not just polarity as is used in new age circles, there's a concerted effort to take souls to hell and most sadly go there. It's a real place in the afterlife and spirit world because most refuse the love, mercy, and forgiveness of God to follow their own flesh and the world.

It's overwhelming. I recently was thinking how I've been feeling like living in hell because I only see people partying nonstop around me and a lot of indifference and insensitivity towards the current crisis. But i know it's all perfect. I do. This has been a beautiful reminder and I was begging for it. Thank you

    I have a cousin who lived in an Ashram for a decade. In that time, his Swami (as he found out later) slept with most of the women there, (including my cousin's wife) and got his ‘followers’ to do all manner of chores and duties for him constantly (for no pay), charged them a fee every month for the privilege of them staying at the Ashram, and all of that under the guise of them being tied to his enlightened word. Don’t follow the pied piper, people. The truth is your birthright, and it lives in your heart. For free. You only have to sit quietly and listen.

      compassion for me comes in the knowledge that those who perpetuate suffering are too ignorant or traumatized to be aware of how horrible being cruel actually feels in the body. when i yell at a stranger on the street for pissing me off, it makes me feel gross inside with guilt so i apologize and use that discomfort to improve upon being present for the next time so i don't repeat that action .
      we are socialized to be ruthless and competitive in this culture - the ones who cannot realize that this is wrong, or who delude themselves into not seeing it or justifying it - truly they are the ones to be pitied (from a safe distance if need be. we can offer others forgiveness while still keeping ourselves safe.)

      Maybe you need to work on compassion for yourself and how you suffered at their hands first, before you can begin to feel compassion for them.... And maybe don't beat yourself up for struggling with it. Maybe you need to go through the process of feeling how very wrong what they did to you was before you can move on from that... Wishing you lots of love and light 🙏☀️✨❤️

    I’m so happy more and more of our collective are awakening to the reality that all is one, and that one is at its essence, love. We are love, we are light, and we are all one. We can make the choice to love each other and realize that separation, domination, greed, etc are not necessary. For when we serve other selves, we serve ourselves as well

    When I was very young I learned how many children died of starvation every day. I think I was maybe too young because that became my counter argument when anything bad happened in my life or to the people around me. It made the suffering closest to me seem so insignificant and petty. It got worse as I grew older and learned about so many other forms of suffering. I’m not sure I’ve ever truly grieved the loss of anything in my life; family, friends, opportunities, possessions, etc.
    I want so badly to believe and live the message of this talk, to not constantly feel overwhelmingly broken for the world, to have enough space in my heart for myself and my family but I think it’s going to take some time. I’m still not sure this way of thinking isn’t just a coping mechanism. And then I think if it is, is that really so bad?

      @@carineiriarte6167 One of the most amazing discoveries in my life was when I found out that a person being tortured goes into a transcendent state beyond the realm of body and mind. We could say, I suppose, that this is just another "coping" mechanism to escape pain. However, the way it was described took the experiencer & me, as the listener, to a different level of consciousness altogether. In this consciousness is the awareness of the boundless love that surrounds us all, always.

    "We're all just walking each other home."
    That line really drives the message home after listening to this talk. Touched me deeply to understand what it actually means, because it's not (only) about keeping vigil with the dying. It is about what this Leela we call life is all about in any moment. We're the one undivided consciousness helping itself realize what it truly is - all of us, regardless of whether we're aware of it or not. It's incredibly beautiful. 💗

    The majority of happy people are financially stable and grew up in happy stable home with 2 parents. So many people aren't growing up in a stable home and have very little support or stability. It's much easier to keep your heart open when you aren't living hand to mouth.

    Gosh, this reminds me of a beautiful story!! I searched everywhere for this and I couldn't find it. If anyone can tell me where I heard it, I would be so grateful. So keep in mind, this is paraphrased and from memory... It's the story of a devotee who dies and begins thoroughly enjoying his afterlife, completely blissed out, taking in every sensation, enjoying it all. One of the overseers in the afterlife comes to him in a panic, "Sir, there has been a terrible mistake," he says. Puzzled, the devotee asks what has happened. "Sir, you were meant to go to heaven, but instead you were mistakenly sent here, to hell!" The devotee laughed and hugged the overseer then says, "What is the difference?"

    Sometimes the pain of seeing the cruelty towards animals, children, of what has happened to you is unbearable, but only if we stand in a victim point of view. I'm feeling like that today but Ram Dass' words feel like a warm hug in a very cold night

      @@JonasAnandaKristiansson Yes sir, been living with these realizations since 2017. A massive shroom trip in the forest showed me power and magic of existence and how all is connected, and I’ve devoured philosophical content that could help me make sense of that ever since. It 100% saved my life.
