I notice Ram Dass and Anthony De Mello draw from same sources – even the mustard n ketchup story. Or else one is borrowing from the other because the words are identical in many of their sentances.
The teachers list of student problem behavior is interesting.
It's like the more we insist that there should be a cookie cutter conscription model to education, the more that the human heart rejects the enforcement, the stamp of "this is who we know you should be".
This drive and push to create the "perfect world" at all costs, even to the point of the institutions deceiving themselves.
Of course the list student "problem behaviors" is getting worse. The system of false complexity and unnatural truth grows ever more, they sense what's wrong, but cannot place or describe what's wrong.
That's the Kafkesqué nature of the post-modern, post-truth era.
Thanks Jackie, may your love and light shine for an eternity ❤️🙏
I love getting grounded with Ram Das!✌️❤️🙃

What happened to raghu? I miss him
Boy this is life
THANKS, No unnecessary Music or doodling
Ram is seen here with the bold & beautiful botanical buddy Hawaiian Baby Woodrose.
Thank you Jackie! I have very much enjoyed your introductions since you’ve taken over; I always loved Raghu’s as well.
I always watch these soon after they’re uploaded, and mean to make it to the calls that you talk about, but have yet to make it to one. Hopefully soon
Every time you say “Namaste and blessings” I say aloud “thank you Jackie.”
Wow, so accurate as always ❤
Rudolf Steiner has much to say about the concept of a primary group conciousness of the "lower" animals compared to our primary individual conciousness.
