Ram Dass - Emotions and Personality 

How truly lucky and blessed are we to be able to listen to Ram Dass at any time? I’m very grateful for that. Thanks for sharing this. 💖🙏💖

Lessons: “Happiness is being in harmony with what is.” “Fear is merely baggage. You’re going to end up in the same place with or without it. Your journey will be a better experience without it.”

"I had to risk being human with other people" this is why I appreciate Ram Dass' talks so much xx

Just wanted to say that I love all of you beautiful souls. I pray that everyone here be surrounded by love, peace and grace ❤

26:17 a witness which sits with the fear and tries to get it before it gets so consuming that there’s no space left. There’s always some space left. 28:57 the art is to keep cultivating the witness in all the opportunities we have 30:13 recognizing that there is a part of you that exists that is never afraid because there’s a party of you that was never separate- you are everything 36:58 asking why we’ve closed down is not necessary - you call upon your method that brings you out of those places 38:25 holding onto the contraction has a whole thing around it of righteousness, of continuity, that you don’t have any right to be joyful 38:39 once you’ve made the commitment to be free, you have to have made it deeply enough 40:25 seeing the difference between things is wisdom; to get attached to preferences comes 46:02 as you’re more quiet inside and notice your thoughts more clearly you’ll see the judge inside that you keep giving power. You’re at war with yourself. As you get quieter, you see them as phenomena. 47:33 instead of how can we love ourselves more, how can we accept ourselves more? 49:34 looking to the world for approval - have i achieved enough? It’s as if the baseline is negative, not 0, so you’re using life to disprove a negative baseline about yourself 51:04 let’s go behind love and hate, and go to a place where we merely acknowledge and allow ourselves 51:20 we come to appreciate what is 52:53 practice seeing people as trees - including yourself 54:40 the way to truth is the fullness of what we are - our humanity our divinity - if someone doesn’t like us, that’s their problem 55:47 allowing my own humanity and foibles; then i discovered my own beauty 57:00 horrible beauty 57:35 not loving yourself; allowing yourself; as you allow, it changes 44:59 all of it is an unfolding of a storyline - it has nothing to do with me because that’s just a set of phenomena. 3:23 you learn not to act or your emotions but to appreciate and allow them. Aim them towards god

“ freedom lies just behind right & wrong “. I love you Dassy

Just about without fail, every single time I have run into a personal problem, Ram Das never fails to deliver the right message at just the right time, even after decades from his mortal death. Amazing. Much love.

“ Anger often comes from righteousness which is called the golden chain and Freedom lies just behind good and bad” “Even if I am ‘right’ it’s not going to get me where I’m going …. Let go of pride …. Don’t try to work it out … psychologically… just let it go …. I want to be free …. If my heart is open ‘they’ may change faster …..what little anger left is painful….. it’s my problem now , not ‘theirs’ “

Ram Dass is incredible ❤

I just found Ram Dass and have already learned so much from him. Everything he says makes perfect sense to me and have agreed with all he has said so far..definitely helping me be the best version of me that I can be. Thank you for making these available for humanity. Life can be SO MUCH EASIER & BEAUTIFUL when you learn how to play it correctly. 💗🙏😽🤗2all😇

I was angry with my partner this afternoon, and then got angry with my son’s father. It’s not that I judged myself for being angry (progress! Haha), but I wanted to move through it in a healthy way. Around 7:22 he starts to respond to an inquiry from the crowd about dropping anger, and I smiled and nodded throughout. It was tremendously helpful. (Side note: Every day I feel grateful to know how many of my fellow humans are finding the way on a conscious level! These lectures’ comments are always a place to find you.)

I just discovered Ram Dass. I wish I had known about him earlier. Thank you so much for sharing this video. His wisdom is very much needed right now. 🙂

I LOVE YOU RAM DASS❤😂, I Know your spirit is in me❤

This is one of the best I've heard

Thank You, Life, for manifesting...and meeting my need...through Ram's sharing-love! Amen

Sure do miss him. Glad his work lives on. 🪷🌸💮🏵️🌻🌼🌺

Saving my life right now,,for real,thank you,,everyone.

Thank you guys for continuing The legacy. Love you guys and God Bless!

Many good nuggets here💫

Beautiful

Ram Dass - you changed my life

Love this!🤗🌺🥰Thank you!! Robin

One of the best I have listened to so far. The methodology is simple, the application of it is very difficult. However I think thru constant practice, one can achieve Freedom he is talking about. When one fails, look at the failure (recognize the failure through the witness- the inner voice that's always gives the right advice) and attempt it again when the next challenge presents itself. - Cultivate and nourish the Witness he talks about - that part of you that's not afraid, or tells you the right thing to do. The funny thing is, all Ram talks about is in the Scriptures. One of my favorite quotes is: "Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people." Philippians 12 vs 14 (NLT version) I think it is clear, how to navigate difficult and challenging people of the planet, and in turn how not to be one, oneself.

How amazing is this teaching? I can listen to Ram Dass alll day long!!

Thank you Ram Das. 🙏💖

Just what I needed to hear now , thanks

What we hear here is a series of questions and answers, and this is my first time listening to this particular audio. What a wonderful surprise. I don’t know if Ram Dass would call this a “satsang,” but that’s what I equate it with. And I must admit I generally don’t care for satsangs because all I tend to hear are egos asking the questions or initially approaching the mic to showcase the perceived progress of the asker, followed by their question. And what I have to admit to is that annoys me so I tend to avoid the format. I heard nothing of that kind here. Maybe it was because the questioning was limited to specific subject matter, but these are not only some of the best questions I’ve ever heard, they were all articulately presented, and without any traces of ego. Really remarkable! At the end Ram Dass reads from a book of a channeled entity called Emmanuel, and though Ram considers Emmanuel to still be a “somebody” rather than a realized being, I found the words profound and moving. I may have to locate a copy of the book. I hope this Q&A helps anyone who finds it. Ram Dass is good at putting things in terms that are understandable, and his responses were as informative and heartfelt as the questions!

Thank you for posting this

The last few minutes are so profound - as he talks about fear and love.

Oh my I think I understand, I have learned so much from you ❤

Just beautiful, as always ❤🎉😊

Wish I was in the presence of Ram Dass

Oh how I love this man and wish I could meet him IRL. Such a blessing it is to listen to him and so thankful to technology and everyone involved in bringing his voice to us 🙏

I love You ❤️Baba Ram Dass❤️You are Beautiful❤️Baba, thank You❤

Thank you!

I’m part of the oceans stuff like a piece of seaweed lol

I listen to Ram Dass and Alan Watts and they are a wonderful guides to a spiritual path which is a blessing in this world of greed and materialism and corruption which all create an unnatural way of living.

literally straight over my head 😞

Thanks!

be blessed people ❤

Freedom lies behind good & bad. Freedom is more valuable than cultivating feelings.

I really like this guy

He just gets it

Love To All

Reactive Emotions May I watch them pass away. Do not deny them. Let go! Suffering let my heart break and move on. Do not dig my hole just leave each other now! That is best that I wallow no more! Anger is righteousness the last obstacle to the inner temple…. Go beyond this now become free let go. Love everyone it will all go together shift my gaze now and I love him angry at actions not being. Do not push against anything. Stop alienating my own self of inadequacy’s so I begin today to give this anger up and not oppose people give it up now to be free. Being right I must keep my heart open now! Stop this judging mind. I cannot liberate others with my anger! Anger is love and equanimity! Maybe it is just loving but my parents and I do not know how to do this! Now my parents are long gone. How do I work with my FEAR. Ignorance and taught who we are. Ego very fragile neuro patterns impulse life and protect society from impulse. Be afraid but with a self entity in this that I am not separate just vulnerable. Leave this social shame and the feeling of violence when hurt. May I get this now at 75 years by observing this hurt and that I am still here! The Fear consumed me ah here it comes again. Just notice it! Just listen as a witness as we are not separate when we are hurt! May I remember this and be a witness to my subjective fear!

Champion talk!

I fired my therapist and listen to him. It’s much more helpful and healing to me.

Jai Baba Ram Dass

Homage to Ram Dass! 🙏🕉️💜

Wow… all i can say is wow

The struggle is real.

same answear to so many different questions

Amen

Who hurt who because of what was said, or "Who hurt Who" because of what wasn't said? It's okay to hate bullshit, loving no shit. Anger is real🤺, Joy, surreal. Love💔is the deal👣, but WE=mc2 must ask Our🧘Selves, in terms of "fear", "are🌲Trees in the Forrest frightened😬or frightening🤖?

This comment is to peacefully protest the gatekeeping of RD’s lectures. Common complaints as elucidated by the community on the Ram Dass subreddit are as follows. Removal of content, privatizing/licensing out content, copyright striking others who post content without replacing what was removed or providing another means to access the content. Restriction of what is released, cutting and editing pieces of full lectures and not releasing the full lectures themselves. Putting a paywall in place that provides access to still limited content. Access to content is overall severely limited compared to just a year or two ago.

Im 🇺🇸 American but I ❤️ indian 🇮🇳 culture🕉 jai shri Ram 🚩#Hinduslivesmatter

Something comes to mind when I listen to these individuals ask Ram Dass questions. They seem to come from a place of "you have the answers". Conversely or inevitably, time has evolved and this type of context of "guru" has largely disappeared from psychology or self help. Tony Robbins come to mind, as well as Jordan Peterson. Both individuals highlight the dependence of the self for answers.

I've realized that after some years of meditation and Buddhist study that while many things have resonated deeply with me, none of the core things really connect to how my actual life or day goes...all my anger, sadness etc. are every bit as strong if not stronger than ever. Which is just how everything else in my life has gone...it's just disappointing because Buddhism was kinda my last hope for not having a horrible fearful life.

57:49 - How love is emptiness of expectation!

“I was angry at actions, not at beings”

Can you please allow clipping of this video. Would love to clip from 3/4ths way through

At 33:46 the voice of question is like Thay Thich Nhat Hanh, isn't it?

Thank you

@1:20:47 Could anyone tell who Zalman Shakhtar is? Is this how you would spell the name for looking him up? Is there a recording of that meeting?

Could some provide the whole lecture, or the name of it? Sounds like it cuts off at the end.

🙏❣️ ,✌️

If we feel we area zero, & if the Lord of Love💔, Our G👁️D✡️ is ONE=mc2, then together we are a ten but collectively, if we are a bunch of zeroes, the with the 1 we are all zillionairesi.e., $1,000, 000, 000,000,000,000,000💎!

You know R.D. it's ok not to have the answer... hahaha

S’how i saved the worl

delicious... "yum, yum, yum, yum"

Yes i reacted tge way i did but so confusing when its something so traumatic yes i understand they di not und5and do what they do I kno wss hes is correct but i wilk sah its difficult when your husband kidnapped your children btrainwashed them fir 6 years and now sunce he was found my children wete sent wit NH one of his family members because i do not have any and i couldn't get physical custody because i rent a room so i can afford a car and basic things I live in an area that became gentrified so its crazy experience and i di say ctazy yhzt a town can turn inti this and everyone thats moved in save azad fe was ate ilite upoer class and most froends have moved away as middle class people and even a bit above that Houses are millions it happened within 15 years So it can be difficult

This teaching could end multiple shootings here and now, if taught mainstream as the norm,....maybe. ▪︎¿▪︎? Logos; Be angry and sin not?

42:44

"Immanuel, in Hebrew✡️means, G👁️D with US👣. The need👄 of the💉needle💔of approval🎭is what causes 🥺"Thanxiety" with the Gods. In⚖️reality, if fear is the Teacher then the Teacher of "No Fear" is feared, it's⌛time 2 leave ye Teacher. It's better 2 B Ya Own Teacher. Live Now🎯

I'm a confrontationalist.

19;04

Good ol' rum dum

So Emanuel has seen chicken little?

😽💨✨💖✨

I think accepting duality is a kop out!

So convienent to idolize a dead person. I don't have to worry what he thinks about it and I get to entertain that he exists near me as a spirit.

Lawn vacuum

It's squealing because it's in pain lol..

Trees don’t abuse humans though so I never liked that analogy

Richard Alpert you faker. Baba Ram suuuuure buddy

SAME STUFF DIFFERENT TITLE..bUMMER

too much organized religious connotations????

There are only TWO BELIEF SYSTEMS: 1. Jesus Christ or 2. paganism (Mystery Babylon) In God’s economy, there are only two classifications of people: 1. Saved or 2. Unsaved. People DO NOT want to believe in Jesus Christ, because that would immediately make them accountable. The truth is, they are ALREADY ACCOUNTABLE, they were ALWAYS ACCOUNTABLE. Ask God the Father for forgiveness. Claim the Blood of Jesus Christ as a covering over your life and your eternal destination. Ask Holy Spirit to enter you and seal you unto the day of redemption, and resurrection. If you are saved you have everything to look forward to. If you stay unsaved you may be in a fatal accident tonight, guaranteeing you a place in the Eternal Lake of HellFire. Don’t put this off. Death is sooner than you think.

Discriminate mind is NOT WISDOM it’s rather racist😂😂

17:56 I usually love Ram Dass but I can't listen to this one. As soon as he said it's okay to spank children if it's done with love, I lost it. Not cool

When you tap on the video to see how much of it is left, and there’s still 1hr 5min remaining 🥹
