    Love it! But is that a bunch of consistent laughing in the background? He is making such great points and people are cracking up? Which is why everyone should not just listen to this podcast, but buy Be Here Now as well to read and enforce the story!

    Jenna, I too am guilty of cracking up. Ram Dass is a wonderful, light hearted storyteller. Laughter is a powerful medicine and it sounds like you could use a spoonful!

    What is the name of this lecture series and how do I come upon listening to the rest of it? I wish Raghu would have left some show notes, references, or something. Add one to the list of individuals who ended up here due to the trust held in Duncan Trussell.

    Hi Shane, thanks for listening! We’re still getting this podcast up and running, but you can be assured that we will be posting show notes & references here in the next few weeks – Raghu is out of town but as soon as he returns we will put something together. The podcasts aren’t necessarily from a specific series of lectures but rather a compilation of several of Ram Dass’ earlier talks.

    Be well!

    Kevin,
    It is a musical group called MPath that is a collaboration between Raghu (the show host) and the musical producer Gardner Cole.

    Thanks for listening!

    Thank you it has changed my morning into joy in my heart that
    It was all Ok me not wanting to work as therapist
    any longer. My detachment from my son became
    Full of love for him and the meaning of our lives is joy
    of living. Wish you Love and Thank you for being.

    as “ineffable” as the awareness of that moment of self-realization, we are one.

    This is the series that were broadcast on KPFK in either 1969 or 70 on a succession of Friday nights. I had recorded most of them on cassettes, but in the ensuing decades, they were lost. Good to hear them again. Was the 5th one the last of the series?

    Do you ever wonder what abandoning your anger and negativity might empower or weaken? Do you wonder why your ego was formed? Do you wonder what traditional family values were created for? And what it means to support police and attachment? What is love if not attachment? what is community without family? What is family without loyalty? What is loyalty without anger at the broken bonds of our system, the bonds that hold a life of meaning together, supported by anger and sadness at loss, determination to hold on, fight, drive… things that seem to be ignored or demeaned in the name of preserving peace. Well if you can remain peaceful no matter what, doesn’t that marking much matter?

    Correction: Doesn’t that make not much matter.
