Mindrolling - Raghu Markus - Ep. 335 - Courage, Trust, and Love with Ram Dass and Duncan Trussell: beherenownetwo...
================
In this special session from the 2015 Spring on Maui Retreat, Ram Dass and Duncan Trussell join Raghu Markus for a playful and thought-provoking conversation on courage, trust, and love.
Courage, Trust, and Love
This is a truly special blast from the past, as it was Duncan’s very first time on stage with Ram Dass! Raghu and Ram Dass talk about how the courage to care came from their guru, Neem Karoli Baba. They explore how important trust is on the spiritual path, and Duncan asks Ram Dass about loving the parts of ourselves we feel are unworthy of love.
“The soul witnesses the incarnation, and witnesses your thoughts. So as you’re witnessing the thought from the soul, [you see] that thought is not gonna get me to God. Then, from my soul, I love that thought. If it’s a real bad thought, I love it to death.” - Ram Dass
The Trust to Surrender (24:55)
Ram Dass, Duncan, and Raghu talk more about trust, and what it took for Ram Dass to surrender so completely to his guru. Ram Dass explores planes of consciousness, and tells the story of how Be Here Now came to fruition.
“It was in between the words that the trust happened. I felt connected in a way that I couldn’t understand intellectually.” - Raghu Markus
A Meditation on Love (50:48)
Raghu asks Duncan to share his experience with how a simple act of service impacted his life. They each read a poem dedicated to the subject of love, then Ram Dass leads a wonderful meditation centered on love. He ends with a reminder that no matter how thick the filter of our karma is, we all still radiate love.
“We are immersed in love, outside and inside. And you can radiate love from your inside to all of us, to the planet, to the universe. Everyone of us counts in this effort.” - Ram Dass

Duncan making Ram Dass laugh must be one of the most beautiful things i've seen in life. Thank you!
Shysters delight in fellow shysters.
I’m so happy Duncan got his opportunity to interact with Ram Dass in person 🥺💜
Exactly how I feel
he spend more than 50 years with him
What a wonderful soul he was; that smile is contagious- these podcasts along with his lectures help me so much by reminding me Im a warm kind soul and my addiction/depression arent really me. Im more than okay today and blessed to share this ground with every one of you. There is so much love out there. the news/social media will make it seem so dark hence why Ive unplugged from facebook/the news and the only one left is IG. There are more important things. I havent touched heroin since January and Im very proud of myself and Im currently tapering off methadone. I love each and every one of you and I just want to thank these three men for being who they are - much love!
Listening to older Ram is training my patience and thats a great gift within it self! Thanks Ram!
Agreed
lol right 😂 its crazy how much we slow down outwardly as we get old
Listening him at 1.75 speed. It´s a bit better 🙂

I love that I found both Ram Dass and Dee Troosell separately. The two worlds smashed together when I heard Raghu on Midnight Gospel! Couldn’t believe it.
Ram freakin’ Ram
Duncan is a blessing. I'm grateful to have watched Midnight Gospel & started listening to his podcast 💛🌻 What a generous soul!
Mind blown and heart filled with these three on the stage together!!!!! And that smile Ram gets while duncan talks, truely heart warming love in that smile I feel and see 🧡💙🧡💙🙏🏿🙏🏼🙏🏽
Thank God for making these people and this conversation happen between them as it did. 🙏

There has never been, nor will there ever be, even the SLIGHTEST shred of evidence for the existence of the Godhead, that is, a Supreme Person or Deity.🤓
It is high time for humanity to awaken from all INANE superstitions such as the belief in a Personal God who created the Universe, would you not agree, Slave? 😩
@@TheWorldTeacher what is referred to is that which exists, not God as something inside it or outside it or apart from it.
If you take it that there is one source of all creation and that source is not separate from it, then nothing is excluded from it.
I heard that one of the traditions describes it as, God didn't create the world, God became the world.
But I guess your grievance is not that?

🐟 02. A BRIEF EXPLANATION FOR “LIFE”:
Everything, both perceptible and imperceptible - that is, anything within the material universe which can ever be perceived with the senses, plus the subject (the observer of all phenomena) - is what most persons actually refer to when they use the term “GOD”.
REAL God is Impersonal Absolute Nothingness (otherwise called “The Tao”, “The Great Spirit”, “Brahman”, “Pure Consciousness”, “Eternal Awareness”, “Independent Existence”, “The Ground of Being”, “The Undifferentiated Substratum of All Reality”, “The Unified Field”, et cetera).
“God” is One Reality, but just as a knife cannot cut itself, or fire cannot burn itself, “God” cannot know Himself (or at least EXPERIENCE Himself), and so, has manifested this phenomenal universe within Himself. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness. N. B. The word “God” is, by definition, a title of the male Deity, and is not to be taken literally here.
Apparently, this phenomenal universe was “created” (within Consciousness) with the initial act (the so-called “Big Bang”), and from that first deed, every action that has ever occurred has been a direct or indirect result of it.
Just as every particle of matter in the universe was once contained in the ’singularity’, Infinite Consciousness was NECESSARILY present at the Big Bang, and is in no way an epiphenomenon of a neural network.
“Sarvam khalvidam brahma” (‘all this is indeed Brahman’). There is NAUGHT but Eternal Being, Conscious Awareness, Causeless Peace -
and you are that!
Everything which can be presently perceived, both tangible and immaterial, including we human beings, is a consequence of that initial manifestation. That is the most accurate and logical explanation for “karma” - everything was preordained from the initial spark, and every action since has unfolded as it was predestined in ETERNITY. The notion of retributive (“tit for tat”) karma is just that - an unverified notion.
Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves, is the result of two factors - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning (which may include mutating genetic code). Every choice ever made by every human (and non-human animal) was determined by those two factors ALONE, thus free-will is purely illusory, despite what most believe.
Because we are temporarily residing within this dualistic universe, we experience both pleasure and pain.
Suffering and pain are NOT synonymous.
Suffering is due to a false sense of personal doership - the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts and deeds.
There are five MANIFESTATIONS of suffering:
1. Guilt
2. Blame
3. Pride
4. Worry/Anxiety
5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future
These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above - that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including us humans, has personal free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”
The human organism is simply a biological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements and the three subtle material elements.
So, now that you understand life, and the reason why we are suffering here in this (supposedly) material universe, you are now able to be liberated from all forms of suffering, RIGHT?
WRONG! It is imperative to find an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning. Just as you have been conditioned over an entire lifetime to think one way, you need to be re-conditioned to think another.
Even if you follow a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life, but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life (all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course).
Furthermore, if it was ordained, you may be fortunate enough to accept discipline from a truly enlightened master, and subsequently realize the aforementioned fundamental concepts, by practicing at least one of the four systems of yoga (religion) described in the Holy Scripture, “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”. Best wishes for your unique, personal journey towards unalloyed peace and happiness!

Love his smile
Can't believe I'm only seeing this now, thanks for this ❤❤❤
This is amazing, Duncan is so funny and Ram Dass with his ❤....TYSM for this 🙏
Peace to Ram Dass who left us not long after this
Hello and thank you for keeping Ram Das here for us...the sessions in Maui with Duncan...were so helpful to me during the unrelenting sadness of 2020. My heart has had so much...harshness etched into it...and the way he speaks of unconditional love and his experiences with his guru...is what I need to...pour back into my heart.
His...economy of speech...during the one day on Maui (Duncan gave him a shirt of some hilarious design), was so striking to me. Perhaps to have these pauses is not ideal for all...but every time he spoke was like a guided meditation about the dimensions of love...and by example, how to cultivate a better love for ourselves and others..with stories.
I loved all those videos. Where may I find them?
My three favorites awwww my heart
Perfect timing always
Look at cutie Duncan! 🤗
15:01 "I couldn't stop speaking Truth".. राम राम Baba Ram Dass 💞🙏
What a nice podcast, especially enjoying the Duncan episodes. So lighthearted! And Duncan man.... you crack me up :D love you to bits
At minute 56 Duncan almost killed Ram Dass
Those who search for control, dont know that love is possible
Luka Soc
Define “LOVE”, Slave. ☝️
@@TheWorldTeacher love is that state of being that includes everything because it knows itself as one with all else. It is not threatened by lies because it is the truth. Its outside divisions such as good and evil. Love has no conditions and that makes it a stable state, unhreatened by circumstances. Love doesn't ask to be loved, it loves.
I only ever had glimpses and am not at all in that state. For example I can feel a sting when you address me as slave although I know you don't know me and that you are probably hurt yourself and are expressing your pain. Still I am disturbed by it.
Love everyone & tell the truth.

Beautiful
To me one of the highlights and take home from this talk was Ram Dass whispering 'be love'. Reminded me of one of his early talks when Neem Karoli Baba advised him to meditate like Jesus, and after a pause with tears rolling down his cheeks he said "he was lost in (an ocean of) love". Now I wonder if he was referring to Jesus or Ram Dass or perhaps the awakened awareness that is Jesus and Ram Dass and all awake beings all at once.
RAM RAM ❤️
