  • In this recording from 1976, Ram Dass explores the process of awakening and becoming enlightened. Featuring a musical interlude from Krishna Das and an introduction from Raghu Markus.
    This episode is a continuation of the dharma talk from Here and Now Ep. 234: • Ram Dass on the Awaken...
    Ram Dass' Love Serve Remember Foundation and the Alan Watts Organization invite you to open your mind, open your heart, and tap into the living truth of Alan Watts and Ram Dass. Learn more about this special 4-week Virtual Course:

    “The only thing that I am involved in is the game of perfection. And because of that, when I work with people, or even this teaching, I see the game as a game of moving up and then bringing up the ground with you. It’s like an inverted ’T,’ where you go up the center and then you pull the two bottom lines up with you. So that every new level of consciousness we get into, we then reassess the whole dance of life and keep it together on the physical plane.” - Ram Dass
    In this episode:
    Ram Dass, in a very meditative fashion, explores the place of the Mother in the lineage of devotional tantra, talking about taking each experience in your life and redefining it as a form of the Mother
    Krishna Das takes center stage to invoke the Mother through music, inviting the Goddess to come down and bless us all
    Ram Dass gives a detailed breakdown of the process of awakening and becoming enlightened, from purification and opening the heart to quieting the mind and getting the energy to flow
    “It’s very far out when you begin not to think. Or the thinking’s going by and you’re not identified with being the thinker. You really think you’ve lost something. It’s a while before you can appreciate the peace that comes from the simplicity of no-mind, of just emptiness, of just not having to be somebody all the time. We’re in training to become nobody. You’ve been somebody long enough. You spent the first half of your life becoming somebody. Now you can work on becoming nobody. Which is really somebody.” - Ram Dass

    Goddess come down
    Goddess come down
    Goddess come down
    And bless us now x2
    There is a mountain
    Where you live in my heart
    And I'm gonna pray and pray and pray everyday
    Until I make it to the top
    And when I do I'm gonna sing
    Goddess come down
    Goddess come down
    Goddess come down
    And bless us now
    See that owl sitting high up in the tree
    With his eyes wide open to the moon
    Well I brought my eyes down into this heart of mine
    They're always gazing out on you
    Hear me singing to you
    Goddess come down
    We need you here on Earth
    Goddess come down
    Let your light shine down on us
    Sometime you know I get afraid
    And I'm lost in the darkness of the night
    When I do I feel you moving up ahead of me
    And you shining out the golden diamond light
    And I pray
    Goddess come down
    And let your light shine down on me
    Goddess come down
    Let your love set me free
    Goddess come down
    Bless us now
    Sometimes you know I feel alone
    And I don't see nowhere around
    But when I do I feel you moving right up close to me
    You whisper in my ear the holy sound
    Goddess come down
    We need you here on Earth my
    Goddess come down
    And we don't know what you're worth
    Goddess come down
    And bless us now
    Yeah there's a mountain
    Where you live in my heart
    I'm gonna pray and pray and pray and pray every day
    Until I make it to the top
    And when I do I'm gonna sing
    Goddess come down
    Let your light shine down on us

    I don't know wether it's intentional or not but i got a double meaning out of that "God has come down". It's that God has come down from the formless into the form and has become human to give and recieve the gift of infinite Love. You and me.❤

      Ram dass is syncretic. He pulls from myriad traditions. Besides... Hinduism could scarcely be more experiential. Dharana... samadhi... kundalini... all palpable experiences. There's so much to be learned from ram dass and he does not propose to be a guru himself. His guru is Babaji neem karoli.

      I'm not a big fan of Ram Dass or of Hinduism, I'm here mainly to just learn, but what I can tell is that you are so full of judgment that you blanket judge and condemn over 1 billion people in one sentence. Clearly your ego is too big to ever learn anything of any REAL value which will prevent YOU from EVER having any REAL spiritual growth.

      Hard to describe something when its subtle, kind of like a type of Individuation by which the self is formed by integrating elements of the conscious and the unconscious mind. Kind of like the holy grail by a internal one. that's is all I have to offer.
