- This time on the Here and Now podcast, Ram Dass helps us better understand the mechanics of the mind.
Recorded in the summer of 1989, Ram Dass offers us some very useful methods for recognizing and avoiding the entrapments of our minds.
Join Love Serve Remember Foundation to Honor Ram Dass and Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of 'Be Here Now' with an Immersive Experience and Concert at WISDOME LA on October 24!
Show Notes:
The Mechanics of Mind
Ram Dass answers a question about diagnosing the root cause of a negative behavioral pattern. He talks about historical versus ahistorical techniques of behavior change, honing in on the kind of meditation practices that can help us understand the mechanics of the mind. Ram Dass explores how therapy can be helpful when we’re ripe for the experience.
“When we follow the breath in meditation, we are focusing on the mechanics of mind, not the content of mind.” - Ram Dass
Structures of the Mind (24:55)
Ram Dass answers a question about how to avoid substituting an old pattern for a new one, and whether the search for enlightenment is a cover for our fear. He talks about how the issue isn’t that we have structures of the mind, like trying to get enlightened, but that we get attached to them. We have to have a light appreciation for the trap of expectations.
“So, in a way, understanding that all practices are traps of the mind, and you use a trap to get rid of another trap, but the way in which you take on the second trap is with intentionality and consciousness. And you see it as a trap I am using, while the first one you had learned so deeply it seemed almost real.” - Ram Dass
Starting to Awaken (39:00)
Ram Dass explores the process of awakening from the entrapment of our mind, and how being with satsang and reading books from sacred beings can help give us a new perspective. He talks about how we do need structures of mind to function, but we have to hold on to them very lightly. We need to play our roles so that we can meet behind our roles.
“Ultimately, the art is you need models to function in the universe, models of mind, you need structures, but you hold them so lightly. You hold them so lightly.” - Ram Dass

Duncan Trussell brought me here years ago and I never left!
Weird, I’ve been trapped in his basement for years yet I’ve never seen you 🤔
Same
@@kdotether hey dude fancy seeing you here
Dr. Rass Dass visited me a weeks ago. I had no idea that he had pass away a year ago or so before starting to listen to teaching and I had never heard of him or his teaching before until just recently. He gently placed his hand on my arm....as I was sleeping and whispered with a sincerely calm peaceful voice the word......(Brother)....and then I woke up from my sleep. 🙏🌅
What a beautiful experience!
I also felt his presence briefly …a few weeks ago!!! Crazy experience!!! So blessed for his teachings 💗🙏🥰
Incredible experience

💙💛💙💛💙😀
This resonated with me so well, I love when I'm in a space that hears Ram Dass and absorbs it.
Thank you for this 🙏💛
Thank you for this.
It's been almost 2 years since my car accident. Love u Ram
Dec 21st 2019 I had my accident.
This is a helpful post.
I'm trying to fight for my rights with my daughter. I need to remember these things.
The day before Baba Ram Dass transcended! Dec 22-2019 🙏🏼💕✨
I definitely was here now when I started the podcast, but because I listened to it at 1.25 times normal speed, at the end I was 17 minutes in the future!
This is the Time Police! You are under arrest for incorrect use of the time-line as only we have the experts necessary for correct time navigation. This is for your own good. We must protect you from your own ignorance.
I’m thankful to be connected with you all on this path. ❤️
“How can I let it go? I didn’t understand it. I didn’t work it out.” Life changing eternal truth! Beloved Ram Dass ❤
Jump to 11:30 and you don't have to listen to the guy at the beginning trying to sell you stuff and distract you.
You're welcome.
They post this for your benefit. Try and appreciate that and politely do your thing...you're welcome.
Beautiful Juang❤
When one eye is fixed on the destination, there’s only one eye left with which to find the way ✨✨
He was and still is a wonderfully insightfull man, honest and truelly beautiful. I, am blessed to have him in my life. I love you ramm dass. Thankyou
he’s not even there at all :)
Brilliant as always! Just immense love for this man. So grateful. Thank you Ram Dass and Raghu.
Thanks Raghu!!! Loving you all 🙏
Vipassana all around🙌🙏
I’m all the way here baby
Gratitude for this, 🎯♥😶 🙏☮ may the power of love, grace, courage and understanding happen to all.
starts 11:22
Ram ram
22:00 i like it. How he says that you let go of whats there instead of making sense of it.
Ram Ram
18:06 is so good and I've started coming to the same. We try to intellectualise the trauma and all through hypnosis, or inner work, or breathwork and different healing techniques. While not everything needs to be intellectualised.
11:00 his dialouge starts after introduction
Sorry 11:45 can be considered
Wisdom imagines that 1 day all peoples will become ONE=mc2 with Self, Self-illuminated, not needing😊leaders or followers; WE=mc2 will BE=mc2 able 2 lead, like in "Golden🌞Circles", guiding🧘ourselves!
Servant of Ram ❤
This got me out of my head :-)
14:00 interesting stuff on "healing trauma" From experiencing it again. This can be through different ways
🙏
I was wondering if Ram Dass ever mentioned Carl Jung and them this came. That’s so cool
He’s mentioned the book Memories and Reflections by Jung a few times. Good book if you haven’t read or listened yet. ✌️❤️
There's a channel of ' You Bet Your Life ' shows that start with the earliest show , COMPLETE , and posts them COMPLETE , in order of their creation. I often have the desire to go through all these Be here now network posts and attempt to put them in their complete untrunkated -sp order and even edit out all the introductions ...
I hear that. Would love a full chronologically organized Ram dass audio library…. Would be legendary. I take hand notes with time stamps for every lecture.
I don't know how I got here, I'm concerned about how to get back
get back to where?
Mushrooms brought me here and not sure if I want to go back ! 😁❤️
@@quidrickt4r447 ✌🧡😁
Once you go a bit higher, you won't ever want to go back. 💚

I always fast firward strai5ti ram das unless i want to hear about an advent but that akways listed underneath
I just cant seem to listen through the long introduction
Thats my confession
I feel bad but it just annoys me sometimes something about it i can't explain but its so drawn out and with a particular tone that drives me nuts
I know ges a wonderful person but i just cant
But i recognize it and its my humanness
It's not just you, trust me. We're here for Ram Dass plain and simple.
Am I attached to ram das tho??? Forshureeee
Stop the adds now. Why you not stop?
he does not control them. not his fault
this dude carries none of the presence the dass has. he should leave dass to talk. no one wants his ego jerking at the beginning of these.
Funny....but isn't that just Ego speaking?
Raghu has posted this audio around a certain topic or teaching taken from a long talk, with the feeling that it might turn people onto another way of looking at thus incarnation and free people from suffering.
The very fact it has a title for people to decide if they want to listen or not is because of the time he's taken to put this up.
Because of this I let the introduction roll. Raghu knew Ram Dass well and you can hear the love he has for him.
Or you can just skip...its your trip.
Ram Ram.
Just fast forward.
I hear you brother
..It serves the Network's need for funding
Pretty sure the dude is the one that began the podcast. Be patient. There’s nowhere to go.
Ram Dass is a Charlatan.
Based one what my friend? Your opinion? 😂
