This episode of Here and Now is from a 1992 lecture in Edgartown, MA. and is a continuation of the talk started in Here and Now Ep. 248 - Patterns of Interdependency: • Ram Dass: Patterns of ...
Exploring his work with death and people who are dying, Ram Dass talks about how he’s learning to live simultaneously on multiple planes of reality and consciousness. To him, the art form of being human is the ability to open our hearts to suffering and acknowledge that it hurts like hell, while also appreciating the awesome nature of the mystery, which includes suffering and death.
Ram Dass addresses aging and the nature of change. He talks about resting in change and handling the balance and tension of inhabiting multiple planes of consciousness simultaneously.
Ram Dass opens up about the trouble he has keeping his heart open to certain people. He talks about the collaborative nature of creating environments where people won’t get trapped in their roles.
Ram Dass ends the talk with some reflections about love and not living out of a deprivation model. He shares his classic story about the state trooper who just might have been Krishna in drag as an example of living on more than one level at one time.
“When you are able to simultaneously live on those planes of consciousness and handle that tension and that balance, then your every act towards other human beings brings to bear with it equanimity, spaciousness, and joy.” - Ram Dass

9:31 Ram Dass begins.
Thank you! I knew someone would post asap. I like being surprised like I am live at the “live” talk.
Thankyou
Thank you for sharing the focus, and not catering to the ego of the sharer ❤
Thankyou Jackie and Thankyou to everyone at Love Serve Remember and Be here Now for all your work and participation to bring us these precious videos 🙏🫶❤
I ve learned in my own life if something disturbs you, its trying to show you something about yourself.
I love You Maharaji.... I Love You Ram Dass.. LOVE & LIGHT TO ALL BEINGS!!!!!!!!!!
🕊☮💮🥀
Such a funny wise and wonderful talk
Timeless
Thankyou Jackie for putting this up . Xx
Ah so. Just what I needed.
🖤🙏🏼✨
I love the breadth of these recorded Q&A’s, we forget that these talks were sporadic when we have them all at our fingertips. The repetitive nature of the stories are comforting, and often are the stories I will tell when speaking of Ram Dass and the spiritual awakening I have fostered through teachings from he and his contemporaries.
Thank you, Jackie, for choosing this particular talk. It is fabulous!!!! And so crucial for anyone, at different times. 🙏🏽💚🙏🏽
Always a good day when Ram Dass uploads!
. I feel very fortunate I get to hear this man talk even though I wasn’t alive for most of his life. Thank you Jackie so much for sharing and uploading ❤. Life changing lectures.
Thank you Jackie 🙏🏼 this talk really resonates ☯️
thank you SO much for sharing this specific talk at this time 🙏🏼 i found part of it in your website, on oppression, but never heard him speak it. thank you 🌟🌟🕊️
I have to remind myself not a lot of people actually know Ram Dass. I listen to him often... he speaks to everyone on so many levels.
9:13 Ram❤
Thank you.
The moderator is off putting for me. I’m here to listen to Ram Dass.
I totally agree. But there's always someone that I sense needs to hear themselves talk. I believe each of us will understand what we need to understand what Ram Dass has to say. So lady please STOP!! Paz S
As suggested in another comment no intro or 2 min intro maximum would be best. This reason is why I rarely view this channel anymore, it's sad. I prefer to listen to the full 2 hours original lectures. And every time I listen to this channel I skip the intro, I'm sure most people do. Stop doing them or do them better and shorter. Thank you for sharing the teachings of ram dass. Namaste
Wow! This hit home 😊
much love to you and everyone in be here now!
i was just thinking about something like this earlier today :o thank you for uploading!
That was such an exciting talk. I laughed a lot. Thank you.
I just pass her up
💜
I was feeling the same way about the long intros , but oh well let her talk or just skip through with the tap of a thumb , but be kind either way ❤😂
Skip to 9:30
Dying is there but its not the only one,giving birth is illuminating. Pain that ends is touching the dance. Why should i wait till death. 🐔
Namaste
I mean no disrespect to the Moderators who introduce Ram Dass's talks. But I sincerely don't understand why they assume the content of his presentation(s) needs to be explained to the audience before we actually get to hear him?
He is dead and all the world leaders he mentioned are dead. But everything in the reality is exactly the same in 2024. How could it be any different. He was a stand up comedian really, Maharaji would say go away Ram Das.
Can we please drop the lengthy intros? We want to hear Ram Dass, not Jackie.
There are many of us who enjoy the wrap up at the beginning of the episode. Our discussion groups tend to use this portion as a jump off point when we meet up via zoom. Stop by for the next one!

@SteveTheWinner many isn't all. I and a few people I know at work enjoy listening to Ram Dass among other speakers and prefer our conversations to occur naturally from the content itself, not a third party commentator. It's rather inconvenient to stop what I'm doing to skip through 10 minutes of intro.
@UM9993 maybe they just need their own channels? There's nothing wrong with having thoughts on a speaker. But when I see a Ram Dass podcast, I'm skipping through the intro and will likely find another source to listen to in the future.
Please for the love of god stop these better help ads please literally get anyone else
Ah so
Can we please stop with the comments about the intro? Every single video I have to scroll past them all and it's very tiresome.
Ah so
You don't
Maybe u hear him but you ain't listening
So determined to make it about her personal perspective. Sad. Continually.
Isn't that what we're all trying to do. Maybe have some compassion, if you don't like it perhaps skip by it 😂
Please don't mention NASA or Mars to do with Ram Dass teachings
Ah so
Yall are rude as hell lmao 😂 this is HER channel, she can do whatever the hell she wants, just skip it or keep scrolling, are y’all really that self absorbed? People need to express themselves how they choose on their own videos correct??
