Ram Dass was a form of exquisite storytelling. He reflects his experience so poetically into words. The more you experience higher levels of liberation, the more this is clear and for me I can feel the energy of each experience he describes in his talks bc how well he conveys it and how it relates to the teaching behind the story.
