I worked at that prison during this time, but didn’t,t know anything re RD. Sometime later an inmate told me about a guy who wanted to teach us yoga. We became friend and he introduced me to RD. Since then, I’ve been a devotee, listening to all his tapes, reading his books, going to conferences and having 3 Skype sessions with him. He’s been a blessing in my life, now, being 88.
That is so cool. I met Ram Dass in Hawaii in 2012-13 approx can’t remember exact date. I’ve been a devotee to Maharaj-Ji ever since. Love is a powerful force
This saintly man brought me back from the brink of insanity. I had a pretty bad freakout on LSD. I felt so alone and unable to relate it to anybody at all that was in my life. I just thought I went crazy, but then I heard this guy talking about all these things and more besides. It really helped me.
I did 6 months in prison, 3 of those in solitary (outside US) for possession of plant medicine. On the outside people thought it must have been due to "bad" karma.... little do they know that my time in that cell was a gift. I learned that I'm free no matter where my body, and that I was more free then, inside that small cell, than I was before I went in. Ironically I was sentenced to rehab. It wasn't an easy process at times, but I definitely laughed a LOT at the irony, which I ultimately felt was a message / conversation from creator saying "so you think you're quite happy with your identity as form? let me give you this opportunity, and see what you make of it". Thank you for the teachings.
Can you go into detail how you managed to spend those 3 months in solitary without going insane? I once spent 10 days on a silent meditation retreat and was very happy when it was over... can't imagine what 3 months would be like.
High Brother! Great ambassador for eastern mysticism and consciousness expanding psychedelics. If there were more like him in the world it would be a happier and safer place. Fly on high brothers and sisters! 🙏🏽
This knowledge is absolutely priceless. Ram Dass, Terrance McKenna, and Alan Watts have helped me understand and get the most out of my experiences, and the truth about life and death.
Unfortunately Terrence Mc Kenna died without any real spiritual Transformation as tripping in & out does NOT accomplish THAT... Ram Dass was smart enough to not get stuck but moved on to the REAL Quest after he had exhausted ALL LSD could ever do... So surely & fortunately Ram Dass & even Alan Watts are NOT stuck in the same box of druged Ego with Mc Kenna... Please don't confuse drug addiction with genuine spiritual Transformation... That would be a really tragic & very costly mistake caused by the ignorance of human Ego.... 😘🙏
Namasté. I've missed you since you passed even though I didn't meet you in person. I appreciate you letting me stay at your house in Maui with you while I visited my ex girlfriend. You're a really nice person. Watching these videos of you' makes me feel so alive. I've missed you since your passing even though we didn't meet this lifetime and I don't know why but you're still a legend Ram Dass, ram ram.
Have listened to many of these, this one is particularly good. Found Seth books at 24 and knew Immediately i found truth, now at 65, ive never changed that understanding. Same exact teaching. ALL is choosen by the self, no mistakes ever. "Death is completely safe" lol, love that quote. I always feel good listening to these.
Ever since I read “Be Here Now” back in the 70’s, once you’re awake, it’s hard to go back to sleep. All the mushroom, LSD and mescaline trips made so much more sense through his teachings and were fun instead and being serious. What a long strange trip it’s been.
I’m totally on board with you about this man, Ram Dass. I have 61 years now and had heard but only recently “discovered” him these past 2 months! What a waste of years since just hearing. of him. This is a daily occurrence to finally endulge in his talks and teachings. I hope to learn and “hear” more. Any tips and/or pointers is greatly appreciated.
RD mentions very briefly the word NARA. This was a program for addicts who violated narcotic laws, mainly heroine. I directed one of those communities of 5o men for 6 years, 1971-1977 . The gov ended that program so I left for another job. So even though I was there, this presentation was missed. I may have been away that or on vacation. As I said, I then met Paul who was taking meditation workshop in NY.RD sent people into prisons to train inmates in yoga. We did this till I left because the Nara program was stopped in about 1975-6.
DanbUry prison at that time housed. 3 general types of inmates. white color crimes and mofia related, war resisters like the Berrigan bros, and drug addicts. I worked in the therapeutic community for addicts. Great experience.
@@PerfectPetProductions nah that's a false equivalency. if reincarnation is true, it isn't dependent on a 16 type model. there are plenty of psychological studies you can see the criticisms of that model, and how most psychologists have moved to the big 5. it has it's advantages for sure, but it's not a religion that we should follow blindly.
@@PerfectPetProductions ram das apparently met a guru who somehow knew he was thinking of his mother. he leaves it unexplained. perhaps his memory was foggy when recapping the story or used to creative licensing.
I find these stories about his guru to be unbelievable but that’s just me. I’d love to see a comparable guru doing such things on UA-cam if anyone knows of any ?
This lectures is similar to other lectures, it’s also somewhat at the beginning of be here no, the blue square book. But like the Grateful Dead or Marc rebillet, he can read the crowd and be a lot more fluid and direct through his specific art. It’s the same story but the people here clearly push the way he explains the story. The Q&A was epic and shows this quality even further, the Q&A following the poetic epic of Ram Das birth gave the questions there juice.
It would be interesting to hear how this talk affected these innmates. Intriguing listening to this knowing this audience is incarcerated., its a juxtaposition.
💙🙏💙This talk end so abruptly - I was in shock … what else did he have to say about human to human love (the love of a woman ….. etc) what else was there he might have said …💙🙏💙 I appreciate all the words here .. 💙🙏💙 the abrupt ending was a sadness 4 me💙🙏💙
@Maija_Liepa Check out “Sacred in The Everyday” 1:06:30 roughly he starts to talk about this. I suggest listening to the whole talk, it is a great ram dass talk :)
@@toxicspoder 🌻 thank you - just saw your message 11-10-22……🌻thank you🌻just listened to “Ram Das talk with Antoinette Lilly, Architects for the New Age” it’s just been posted…. 🌻Ram Das shares his experience of being with the dolphins 🌻
He switched up his story about the biscuits. One time telling it, he says people were watching him if he'd eat the biscuits or not. I wonder why he changed the story.
@@conrad406 so the guru knowing the unknowable and taking all the lsd was just pure fabrication? how could the guru know he thought of his mother. does he cover it elsewhere? kind of miraculous but completely glossed over.
people keep talking about the population of the Danbury prison but they've got it all wrong - the main type of inmate they sent there was God in drag, god in drag, and god in drag
Only by Direct Experience do WE=mc2 live life 😂 to the fullest, then 💎 ascension is possible. The illusion of watching is not enough to achieve lift off 🚀to🌌 the next plane. Our🕊️intentions make the journey👣!
It's a drag being in the space of comprehending what he is saying, but recognizing I'm a spiritual / experiential desert without any conscious perception or momentary insight-blips... No sense of having worked through anything and now contracting and dissolving - still tied to the space-time dock with a silken thread
Freedom, in a sense is being the knower. The knower doesn’t know through human sense, it just knows. The knower is what eventually falls back into it all when the physical body dies. When the physical body dies and the knower becomes all that is, that is freedom. Freedom for us, is to be as close to ego-less as possible. Our ego’s trap us. The ego, in one way, can be seen as the barrier to freedom
so he met a guru who knew things no one could possible know, including how he thought of his mother etc. this is glossed over and not explained again. kind of makes you sceptical. albeit im only 55 minutes in.
...and you've never had a spiritual experience either... "Those who don't know, don't know. Those who know, enjoy" One day you may too, have an experience; mine was while in a Forrest, the curtain pulled aside just a little and I got to see that which I cannot describe. There is no doubt in my mind we live in a cosmos populated by entities on different levels and until you break the shackles by which your consciousness has been boud by society and rigid belief systems you will never allow yourself to experience it or see them.
@@dijonmaize so it is said. perhaps the programming we go through is permanent as a child, i have the most open mind when it comes to spirtuality, i see no reason to believe in pixies, or define god, or attach him to any religion, but i know there is much we dont understand. and choosing love seems to be the right thing every time.

There are 16 personality types in the myers briggs model. Maybe we live 16 human lives trying each type?
Love you Ram Das. God bless you all.
it's just a model. Terence said DMT blows the idea of archetypes out of the water and i think he's right.
@Atoosa a model that's based on reality and works. If reincarnation is real then what I'm saying is probably true.

@Atoosa I follow no-one, only God. The big 5 model is useful, but is more judgemental in its application, which is a negative imo.
