This is an old clip from Richard Alpert (Baba Ram Dass) where he is talking about LSD, and the introduction of this powerful entheogen into our society.
Richard Alpert is an American contemporary spiritual teacher, and author of the popular book “Be Here Now”. He is well known for his personal and professional associations with Timothy Leary at Harvard University in the early 1960s. He is also known for his travels to India and his relationship with the Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba, and for founding the charitable organizations Seva Foundation and Hanuman Foundation.
"Be Here Now"???….The last time I (Blindbaby) was THERE was Thanksgiving 1999…Damn..I MISS ACID….the good shit n-e-wayz….
What kind of person dislikes this video? lmao
One person who rated this had the bad trip, apparently.
I'm sure LSD is a powerful experience, and even to some extent enlightening (at least a change of perspective), but we are different. It's not a "social construct". It's biological. Some are dumber, others smarter etc. A PhD means that this specific individual has invested years of his time to specialize in a certain field and gain knowledge that's only possible to gain by investing a similar amount of time, not to mention the required interest in that subject.
The collectivist ideal put forth by ..well, not just this guy, but so many others simply isn't possible. We are too many for it to work. Only when man lived in tribes, where everybody knew each other, collectivism could work. But the fact is it's impossible to care for total strangers the same way you do for people you know, trust and love.
One more thing. I see these 5-HT receptor agonists and a handful of others including MDMA as being a gift… Thousands of years of struggle and fossil fuels now do all the work and all the corruption that comes into play… Who gets all that money? The 5-HT2a receptor is there for a reason. Now that man can grab a hold of it and it seems to want to create a Utopian society they are banned outright… No vote no nothing just banned. Who collectively decided we shouldn't have Utopia? Seems ultra conservative and idiotic to just throw away such good ideas and replace them with utter destruction. The world is burning and they tried to fix it back in the 60's. If everyone on both sides of the cold war took some of these substances it would've ended in the 50's. You want to be communist? That's cool. Have fun seeing stars and feed all your people… etc.
"There is now enough to go around".. Wow was he speaking in genius terms… Top 1% has raped and pillaged more resources than the human race at the current 7b would need for the next 500 years.. Shame they didn't listen. Very quickly there will not be enough to go around… Over and out.
I wrote a track inspired by and featuring audio from this interview. I hope ya's like – https://soundcloud.com/jameshenrymusic/it-is-all-one
Awesome. Anyone know where I can find this whole video or what its from?
It's unfortunate delysid is non-existent in this redneck town 🙁
I didn't realize this is Ram Dass. I saw him speak many times and was grateful each time. How cool to stumble upon this by accident!
"A point of awareness." yupppppp 🙂
looks like it.
Thank you Ram Dass.
Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School, saving people, that is based on the principles of the Universe:
真 Truthfulness
善 Compassion
忍 Forbearance
It teaches elevation of one's moral character. Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. Good people are being tortured, raped, killed, force-fed, deprived of sleep and have organs harvested from simply because their spiritual belief. Millions practitioners were killed by the evil CCP.

Disregarding every thing he is saying does not help you.
Sad, really.
He says "In our culture we've been trained for individual differences to stand out?" Well, not in my culture. No wonder he thought psychedelic drugs are a dramatic experience, and I think they were only mildly interesting.
is this excerpted from Documentary CBC: "How To Go Out of Your Mind: The LSD Crisis" (1966) ?
i love this clip so much.
