I needed this. It's hard when all your loved ones are living in adharma and caught up in themselves. I want to help them but all I can do is work on my own practice. All I can do is be.
My contemplation is like a dripping faucet. The everyday movie playing out more beautifully with every contemplation. The release of doer ship bringing me closer to myself. The only want that shines in my heart is the dissolution of the I that I thought I was. Knowing full well that method is another trap. Now a matter of time, I constantly see my guru in every form. Conversing with it in the most loving way. The path inward clearing. When you knock on the door to heaven the way through the gates is to shout it was all me.
There are ways to push yourself out of form. The process that follows is the light that shines on what you are. Everything in life is a method that can be used to overcome what you are. Identification with your physical form is the same as holding a single hair up to the entire universe and saying "i am the Hair" when really you are everything but the hair. I did something really foolish.
That was beautiful. My practice 10 years in now is starting to get to your level of what you describe and it's truly amazing how powerful spiritual practices are. Only place I want more clarity is your last sentence in your comment right above this. everything BUT yourself is you? I can maybe see what you're talking about but curious why you exclude the body and mind currently incarnated into.
In that example my language was not clear. A better way to make my point would be to say this. “ it’s not me in the universe, it’s just universe” abandoning your self into the self is the key. The release of all doorship by knowing the universe is already complete. The universe could not be an expression of the self unless the self already fully exists. Compassion is born in the knowledge that every set of eyes you look into is you incarnated in the next one.
The real goal of life is to overcome the error prone desire filled ego and the hypnotized polluted mind..to seek within (learn meditation), to find,exprience & be identified with the immortal soul,the true Self, and merge with Spirit,the Source from which it came...for this very incredible journey one needs an enlightened being,a true teacher, a God-realized master who has attained the state of soul liberation
Very early lecture by Baba Ram Dass when he was still known and using "Baba". Later he dropped the "Baba" as a personal reference, too Holy Man for him, he also dropped the robes (which he called "a dress" ). In the last minutes he is reading a letter written to him from his former guide to Maharaji, the American surfer from Laguna Beach, Bhagwan Das - long before BD fell out of Ram Dass's favor. Notice, he does not mention Bhagwan Das by name. He does not refer to Maharaji by name. So, this may be before the Bindu-To-Ojas box, the precursor to the book Be Here Now, is written. If that is correct, this lecture was one of his first North American lectures after his first trip to India, in 1967. So thisis very likely a 1968 talk, but could be as early as 1967, but i doubt that, because of the number of people I feel in his audience, and the talk is recorded on tape, which indicates that he is already known to the public, however rarified.
I'm a Hindu who grew up in Nainital right next to Neem Karoli Baba's ashram / Kainchi Dham. Although I was and still am in total awe of Neem Karoli Baba, I find Ram Dass's quite pontifical. I would much rather listen to Alan Watts..
@@vikjoe i've noticed this too. It's hard to ignore sometimes but I try to see it as he still has his hangups but he's had great teachers to which he is a sounding block for
@@vikjoe terrence mckenna, alan & ramm are my soundtrack to life! chomsky jung & brian greene are fascinating but ...alan watts, esp his "the present creates the past" stuff, is so full circle... i find him in particular curiously aware & incredibly ETHRALLING
The only thing that desturbs me about the " be here now foundation " podcasts is the man who talks in the beginning of each . I always scroll forward to skip him . Ram Dass speaks for himself.
Great message. If you’re going to use an artist’s painting as your video image, please give credit to the artist. Alex Grey is a great visionary artist and deserves a credit in this video’s description. Thank you.
consciousness sometimes takes the form that some would term a vision and others an hallucination, the difference being the level of respect the onlooker gives to the experience, the wise often seem 'mad' to the unaware

Thankyou for sharing the time stamp when Ram Dass starts talking, I was looking for it.
Quite short for raghu for once
In the beginning he had less of an ego

Thank you 🙏🏽 I've been so stressed lately hearing Ragu & RAM Dass immediately brings me to a place of serenity & love. they emanate a lot of peace. 🌺🌱
Thank you baba
The whole class was ….. fantastic ,,, 🌸 and the las three minutes were very special !!! 🌸🙏
I miss you, Baba.
Love you ram dass
It's true-we aren't who we think we are-
Ok who are we then?
@@benaldridge6341 nobody special.
O Wow,that ending was so Powerfull!....Brought me Home for a moment.
Heavy stuff! Jai maharajji!!
Though truly not limited to our bodies we are forced to live in a world where such is the illusion

It always baffles me how fake Watts thinks we want to hear him talk..
@conrad406 so do I. Gratitude to Raghu Marcus.
The real goal of life is to overcome the error prone desire filled ego
and the hypnotized polluted mind..to seek within (learn meditation),
to find,exprience & be identified with the immortal soul,the true Self,

Traducción al español lo agradecería mucho!
Aprende ingles, te ayudara en todo, te va a abrir las Puertas a mucho conocimiento y te permitira conocer a gente del todo el mundo.
youtube tiene subtítulos en español que puedes activar. no está perfecta la traducción pero se entiende bastante
@@dvidsilva si efectivamente solo que en algunos vídeos no está activada esa opción lamentablemente 😕

Curtis Whitwam maybe he didnt want credit and maybe he was asked. Lol idk rly just a possibility
Alex Grey is all about free expression. that's just your ego talking. just be here now
They do give him credit. Its in the description of the video
Did you even look in the description before commenting? Right there at the top ;)
This picture is worth a thousand words, and Beyond!!!
im surprised that these videos dont have more views

Thanks sharing this :) , this is the first video of yours I'm listening to. I love it.
Were you there with Ram Dad's at the time with Maharaji?
How do you know the man with the letter wasn't simply hallucinating?

@SoftserveSodium
“Reality is a stubborn illusion”
What happened with the charcoal??
Who is the poet?
Sounds like Ram Das' audience is smoking some harsh weed while buck-dancing on a coffee table in the background.
Raghu no offense but we don't need anything but ram Dass voice. Thanks tho!!!
letting go of all my money
Six minutes of babbling intro? Put that in the title next time....jeez
RAGU talk for 4 mins
Please, less Raghu, more Ram Dass. Why must we listen to 10 minutes of Raghu going on and on? It doesn't actually support the talks by Ram Dass.
