“Any model of whether this is hard or easy is just another thought. All the metaphors I suggest are just more thoughts. Let them arise, notice them, go back to the breath.” – Ram Dass

Beautiful. Thank you ❤️
A thought to meditate is still a thought.
I discovered Ram Dass on the eve of his transition to the “ah so…” and have been a devotee ever since. Longing to one day meet Him until I soon realized He has been within me and without me the whole damn time. Just understand that you are loved beyond whatever you think think you are could ever imagined because we are one in the same. 🙏🏾
Less intro and more Ram Dass
I love my breath and cherish every in and out breath I take. Alas, some day it will be gone.
I have this dilemma where no matter what I seemingly do other than sleep I am unable to forget that i am breathing.. I think it's a somatic obsession. It is very distressing and I find myself wanting often nothing more than for it to go on unconsciously as It used to.
Meditation is a spiritual exchange between the mind and the body; and breath is the currency.

I started at Ram Dass and now Jurgen Ziewe and his book Multidimensional Man goes to the issue of experience. His tip meditation and becoming lucid in dreams. He has videos on youtube too. Without OBE experiences how can we really know?
Always in our hearts, Ram Dass. Much love for you!
