Silent Awareness - Ram Dass Full Lecture 1999
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Ram Dass was the guest speaker at a joyful Sunday morning service held at the First Church of Religious Science. He talked about aging, suffering, and silence, and about the faith which allows him to perceive his stroke as a gift of grace from his guru. "Suffering lets you see your attachments," he said, "and that helps you get free."
Recorded in Oakland, CA on March 21, 1999.

This lecture was only three years after he was stroked by God in 1996. Ram Dass went on to live peacefully for another 20 years before passing away in 2019. What a miracle of grace that made it all happen as such.
He died in February of this year, 2020. It seems appropriate he would exit the earthly realm in 2020, a most challenging year for the majority of us.
@@kellyrn6014 actually he died December 22 2019, but regardless I miss him and that awesome wisdom-filled brain.
@@gettintired6744 Yeah. I think he died during the solstice.
I started listening about 6 months ago every night. So strange how well I feel I know him, like the granddad I never had and to witness all the stages of this man's life in a matter of months through this timeless medium. How bewildering it all is.
I cannot remember the exact date but Ram Dass came into my life the end of 2019/ start of 2020… I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the exact moment he left his body. I used to get sad that he was gone but have since realized through his teachings who I really am and that there is no where to go. I feel the divine grace and hear the cosmic giggle emanating from all. We are all exactly where we were meant to be! ❤
Love and miss you so much Ram Dass!! My first Guru and spiritual teacher, you set my heart and inner self free! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I never got the chance to meet him, but I feel the same way since I found him back in 2020.
R.i.p Ram Dass its crazy i have been listening to him when i go to bed since about November. I was listening on the day he died and had no idea. ;(
......He still alive in my heart even though I didn’t get to know him he still in the center beam going through time and space transform back to the universe
Me too I was listening to him that night and the next morning I heard about it 🙏 crazy...
my whole face is wet with salt and tears Baba I love u I can't believe you found me in the theater just now
Baba is describing here how he uses his aphasia experience as grist for the mill. To see this and to know how he developed over the next twenty years, wow! WOW!
That makes it even more beautiful! Thank you for adding that context.
Thank you for sharing these precious gems... keeping his Spirit alive... as he is RIGHT HERE now.... right by your side... notice that in that silence. Beautiful RD... I AM Loving Awareness. Thank you for holding my hand through The Stand. Much Love & Light to All.
Ram Dass is Aristotle of Spiritual World, He is Incredible his life is Incredible If only I could have met him... But than where can he go he is Here in my Heart Forever... he feels my heart with love Love and Love
The Aristotle of the spiritual world ?! That’s high praise imo, I don’t agree but I’m impressed he’s left such a mark on others 🙏
Thank you so much for everything Ram Dass.. Your light is shining on us.. Namaste! 🙏🏾❤️💐🕯
Neem Karoli Baba clearly made US aware through Baba Ram Das that the Universal Spirit is always around and has never left ,whereas we are the ones who ignored that reality and should amend it.
Ram Dass is my Emanuel I talk to him a lot in my mind 😂 I think what would RamDass do or say. What lesson is in this thought or action. He has changed a lot in my life.
Yeah me too ❤
I didn't expect to watch the complete video.. it was peaceful to listen to him ❤ thank u ramdass for this wonderful speech
Love love love you Ram Das💕
I like it! Suffering in the path that takes us from the ego to God!

Surfing life's silences with Ram Dass
“My Brain put silences in my speech. In the brain, I get a concept and… for the concept to go out, it goes through a dressing room, and the dressing room is dressed with… The clothes are speech…”
- Guru Ram Dass
He demonstrates that we are not the brain, never were… Simply Tat Tvam Asi.
What a brilliant analogy - So much love to The One, The All 💕
I love riding the silence now. Thank you Baba.
God, this absolutely breaks my heart ❤️ I love you Ram Das!!! 🙏❤️🙏
I love you Ram Dass :’) thank you for everything - for being.
his silence speaks as loudly as his words
There’s so much wisdom, humor and love hidden in the way he smiles. It’s like his whole being lights up.
Such a beautiful being ♥️
This talk is so beautiful. I feel blessed to have found it
Always great to hear Ram Dass-Brilliant
So lovely and blessed, love you RamDas, love love love you
Love how there are 0 dislikes (don't you dare!)
His brain is so interconnected. So present. Psychedelics would have much less of a role to play
राम राम राम Ram Ram Ram
Reciprocity. To give with grace. And to receive with grace. The full circle of love and friendship. Allows for synergy to exist inside of continuity. Catalytical. Human. Nature. Quantum. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
So humbling 🙏🏽🙇🏽♂️💜🙏🏽
He's right.
Was he left handed?
It’s kind of painful to see him in that state of mind, It feels like he’s resisting the present moment, but at the same time I know everything is divine🌞🤍🕊so he needed that experience to change him in some way
Speaking the unspeakable, no wonder why he just remain silent sometimes!
What was this lecture about for you if you read this comment and watched this video? I wanted some insight to what others got from this ?
I don't even try to find my own words...
Ram Dass 💜
You are the love in my heart with which I love thee
Love peace chicken greece
❤️
Thank u teacher 💕
He’s all there. He’s slower, but he’s all there
Thank you so much for this video!
I see you in me .
Suffering is grace, grace is suffering
❤️
Forever
So true
I’m not into Eastern philosophies at all or really believe most of what he does, but I love his bravery and deep thinking and humor. Before his stroke you can really tell his humor and character and I think he’s a beautiful soul. I appreciate him. Discovered him 5 days ago.
Love it. Wonder why his lectures are not as famous as Allan Watts.
Khobi Attai I know, especially when you consider how Ram Dass’s lectures actually have coherent and actionable messages.
Yes alan watts only gives you the problem, not the solution haha, ram dass guides you to the solution
Really try to be more aware of my breath, LOVE how he makes me consciously more aware of it 🌬 thank you for sharing your experience(s) and wisdom with us 😎🙏🏼💛
D-ringed this at 22:50. This is something other.
Did ram dass get free? I’m searching for what his insights were at the end of his life if he ever collected what it all meant to him or what advice he had for others ?
Admin herre (now) - knowing him personally at the end of his life he had crystallized the practice of Loving Awareness, in plain english - he synthesized the spiritual path of going from 'who we think we are - to who we really are' in a practical self directed way. I am Loving Awareness. Hope this is helpful. I came to know a being who is the most free person I know and he was in a wheelchair and often in alot of nerve pain. WOW.
@@BabaRamDassChannel admin here now 🫡 appreciate the response.

Keep me channel alive
Those first moments of silence gave me a grin from ear to ear 💜
The last clap made me emotional
I Love you so much Ram Dass
i need a friend like You
❤💕🙏🕯️
it feels like he is tripping a soft acid trip
At 10:29 we are souls. NO we are silence...the awareness. simple silent awareness. Don't attach a thing.
Maybe I spoke too soon.
19:22 No souls...we are silence...don't attach "something" to nothing. Why is it doing this? Maybe popular belief or else.
Souls aren't real, he is holy though; he corrects himself "soul" to "body" at certain parts. He knows :)
Miss you Baba🙏❤🙏

Plus Ram Dass has stories where his Guru literally was able to read his mind.
after 2 m , his lecture still going no where, It isn't wasting other peoples time?
This is not about time, so...
this was after his stroke. Its why he stopped speaking often.
I think if this teaches us anything its that there are no powers gained through enlightenment. Even the most enlightened people are just brittle people with some good brain chemistry going on temporarily.
It goes deep within...resonating
Not my time ❤️
Still cannot listen to him. There are so many real Knowledge, don't get stuk because it sounds sophisicated.
This is false...he is false!
We love you baba
