Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.
Since 1968, Ram Dass has pursued a panoramic array of spiritual methods and practices from potent ancient wisdom traditions, including bhakti or devotional yoga focused on the Hindu deity Hanuman; Buddhist meditation in the Theravadin, Mahayana Tibetan, and Zen Buddhist schools, and Sufi and Jewish mystical studies. Perhaps most significantly, his practice of karma yoga or spiritual service has opened up millions of other souls to their deep, yet individuated spiritual practice and path. Ram Dass continues to uphold the boddhisatva ideal for others through his compassionate sharing of true knowledge and vision. His unique skill in getting people to cut through and feel divine love without dogma is still a positive influence on many people from all over the planet.

“I want happiness only if I live in a happy world.”
What delusion.
When the wrong man uses the right means the right means works the wrong way.
I love Ram Dass but this one is only relevant to first world problems. Starvation and physical oppression are not subject to your perception. I know that he believed that we reincarnate but what if he was wrong?
Change generates our reality
It was another century and he allowed us to change the world from our inside firstly, without fear.
Curse or blessing question mark no it's both and neither
I left my life in China as a TEFL teacher of 12 years to move to Spain, but it's been extremely difficult.
I can't even find an unskilled job back here in the UK. I feel so mournful that I let down my beloved students and I'm so sad.
I know change is good and things will sort themselves out, but today, it's hard seeing that.❤

Kai zen translation to good change.
I just want to say how much these videos have changed my life. I love sharing after skool with everyone I know. Thank you so much.
A curse. Period. There is no freedom in change.
…Some things in this life are purely 'subjective-perspective'. There's: 'good shit, bad shit, and true shit'…now it's up to you and your 5 senses (or 6, 7…) to experience and deal with the shit as you see fit. Shit is 'i', who gets too 'hi', after a 'hit',..'Shh..', (don't say this to loud..)😉🙃
Thank you.💟
"Our Separatness" or "the ego" is our biological software that is used for body preservation and propagation. Identifying with the body and the "need to survive and mate" is identifying with this separate self.
Your soul is eternal and is part of all that is, so everything for it's journey is already provided for. It doesn't need "to survive" nor does it need to find a mate.
Soul identification is where peace begins.
The bird, cow, cat story is priceless!!
Your creations are beautiful… Thank you…
