Listened to this while painting walls. Nice focus and thoughts.
SO AWESOME SO FAR. Deep thoughts and lots of in-your-face GET YOUR LIFE INTO A BETTER POSITION thought reinforcements. GREAT stuff!
https://rogueliterarysociety.com/f/gr......we gather to remind one another who we are. What we’re looking for is who is looking; it’s happening all around us, and we are what’s happening. So that next time we sit waiting for something to begin, we realize that there is nothing that needs to begin, for the beginning, the middle, and the end are already who we are…though we gather as a group and listen to one another, each of us is in a unique predicament, and that we must listen to our own hearts...
what a good way to end the year :)
You have to love Ram Dass.
A review of a book about deepening one's spirituality is bound to say as much, or more, about the reviewer than the book. Let me just say thatI found a ton of useful information in this book and marked a lot of it in yellow, so reviewing it will be easy and hopefully keep me in tune with my goals. I began reading this book almost a year ago and barely understood a word. A week or so ago I picked it up again and found it to be rich in lucid advice and stories. If you are already interested in Eas...
”You have all the time in the world, but don’t waste a moment.”Every page of this masterpiece is imbued with the wisdom only a rare being like Ram Dass could put to words. He draws us in with his humble, hippy vernacular and immediately proves that he knows exactly what we’re going through and what we’re looking for. He’s been there and done that a million times over, and he’s come out the other side. This book is truly a guidebook for liberation, and it has become part of my personal scripture
I won this on good reads.This book is an update of lectures given around the early 70's. For me it was a return to the roots of my spiritual quest. Basically, advice on connecting to the oneness. Well worth reading.
Truly one of the great spiritual voices of the past 50 years, Ram Dass, shares some of his life experiences, anecdotes and beliefs in this enlightening and powerful book. Very little is mentioned from his years as a Harvard professor or his earlier life as Dr. Richard Alpert, the primary focus of the book is the transmission of his experiences to assist the reader in their journey towards awareness/enlightenment. The information that is shared with the reader is merely meant to be a tool, the ro...
This one deserves 6 stars. Just wonderful.
This was fun. I’m a beginner to meditation and have good sense of the Yoga Sutra and the path to enlightenment. Ram is super advanced and has experienced many different realities / consciousness over his lifetime and provided some great insights and observations about his awareness and what he has learned. He cover topics like: the journey, rules of the game, levels of reality, lineage, dying, methods and God. I really enjoyed reading his perspective and being able to learn from his accumulated
All about 'Awakening' in this lifetime. Very powerful for getting out of the world that society pushes...bigger, faster, better...and how to dive deep into the much deeper and more satisfying spiritual world that is always available to each of us in this very moment.
Gonna pass on this one. It's a lot of rambling nonsense that doesn't really mean anything, which I could suffer through for a book club, but he lost me when he said marriage should only be for increasing your closeness to god and that only unenlightened people have abortions (direct quote: "unconscious people who don't understand get abortions"). What the fuck, man.
Books really do come to you at the right time. A very good friend gave me this and it took me a while to pick it up. I had some demons to take care of and some behavioural changes that needed to be worked out, unknowingly of course. Those things happened, I picked up this book as I wanted to get in contact with my friend having completed it, and wow!Coming to this book, I think you need to open and ready to receive it's message. There is an element of having prior wisdom, acceptance that things
One of my favorite 4 Ram Dass books....the other three being Be Here Now, the Only Dance There Is, and Journey of Awakening.
Another great book by Ram Dass
Breathtakingly profound, and perfectly simple and concise. Ram Dass illustrates the core concepts of his spiritual practice and theories on reality, love, God, and life with some charming anecdotes sprinkled throughout along with practical instructions for a beginner practitioner. This was my first encounter with Ram Dass, and doubtless it will not be my last. Few have the ability to express existential musings in such a clear, digestible manner, much less with the degree of playfulness Ram Dass...
Changed my world view, reminds me how I am connected to every living thing in the World...this gem reaches down into my core and plays my soul's strings like a harp. Ram Dass is a gift.
"I'd rather now just talk about how it is when you are free to play with God for the rest of your life..." (59) I think Ram Dass is better listened to than read. He was an important translater of Eastern thought through Western eyes back in the 60s-70s, and his messages are still relevant and important. He's not my number one, but I liked hearing his voice and angle. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the book.Personally relevant:"This trip is based on.. a very simple concept. Totaly hone...
