This man is so wise ❤ he thought he was someone, got high, came down , got sad but then learnt that it's all part of the deal and he has to face what brings him down.

I have had some large breakthroughs in the past two days. I have been trying to get high with caffeine and excitement. And it's just not happening. My grounded state is becoming so strong and my mind is getting quieter and quieter. It's a trip. This is what I have wanted but I still have that drive or attachment to get high. I'll always enjoy going fast being a daredevil but the ability to be deeply in that state is much more difficult…I may just be a bit tired also 😉
Oh my lanta, really… why you gotta call me out like that… leave my Peter Pan syndrome out of this, haha… glad you found me back in December pops
I am not acting
"I have a friend who doesn't have a body. He speaks through a woman, named …" — WTF?!? Casual-like. "Oh, I have a friend without a body." "Oh yeah, sure, don't we all? Bodiless friends are everywhere these days."
An old silent pond, A frog jumps into the pond, Splash! Silence again. – Matsuo Basho.
It is the most recurrent phrase/poem i can remember. It just makes me take a moment that in between the loudest bursts of life, before there was peace and there it will be soon after.
(There are many translations and the one with the lily pad i believe is what i first read and was captivate)
What Basho didn’t mention is that life has many, many frogs.
It seems we are in our own way.. we are over here seeking or doing this stuff. But the stuff we are doing needs applied over here on this other thing. But we're afraid to let go of this stuff and pretend we didn't learn it. But go and do what we have learned. So not this king we are doing for that. Silence is awesome in daily life when it's just for the sack of silence or anything. Get it? Far out
Alan Watts sneaking alcohol is toooo funny!! 😆
Where do I get STP? And LSD? And MDMA? And peyote? And Ayuhausca? And one of those poisonous frogs to lick. I wanna talk to Emauel. What channel is he on? Yes, floss every day because you don't want a root canal, and protect your credit score. That's all I've learned in 58 years. The 🌎 is empty of fun now. We go up and down, and into the 1 and back out into the 2, and we always come back. I'm up to episode #111 of the Ram Dass podcasts. I need a Bhagwan Das.
👍😃🤩🥰😍😎🇺🇬❤️🙏
Having Alan Watts as a drinking buddy, that would be an enlightening experience
We have to do the earthly things when we are here on earth. Chop wood and carry water. We signed up for this game so play it well. All the while knowing it’s not totally as it appears and not the final game. Smile at the challenges. Smile and move forward. Pray and meditate. Clear your mind above all else
Beautiful beautiful message!! So happy I listened to this before work this morning. 🙏🙏
I have done it for 3 months and my back has never felt better, BUT my partner doesn't like it as much 😃
God Ram Daas! You're so wise. I'm still at a very very early point. You're very very intense. I'm… I am… I am… I am ahhhhhh… Ahhhhhhhh here we go no… Hmmmmmmm…. Ahhhhhh… Will I? God I fucking hope so! No…. Hmmmm…. Hmmmmm…. Hmmmmmm….
Thx for posting
