In our case, back then, and still today, we are guided by Eastern maps. So the promise, once you realize, once you have that shift in reality, is that there is this great promise. I felt like I was a sick person back then, and, when I forget today, when I feel I have forgotten my natural intuitive heart, whenever I get lost. I love what he says here, because at that time we began to realize the health of our intuitive, compassionate hearts. And that reality was introduced to us by psychedelics, for sure. Of course, that pain, in the end, I look at it as giving me the impetus to even consider that there must be something else. And what happens is, we see how much of behavior was just defense mechanisms to alleviate the pain that came from feeling separate from family. I speak to plenty of people today, email, or whatever, people in their twenties or thirties who are having the same experience. We knew we were interconnected by virtue of taking these psychedelics, of taking acid or whatever, mushrooms. What we experienced was being part of the universe, basically. The reality was that those psychedelics gave us a connection to a part of our being that we had not known before. Interesting, he talks about the point at which you had that psychedelic experience. Because then, there was that shift in reality it blew against the traditional it blew apart the traditional religious systems that were in place, that we grew up in, no matter what particular religion that you had grown up into, what family you were brought up in.
And that shift was obviously predicated by psychedelics. What Ram Dass talks about here is the shift in reality that happened about that time. I’ve talked about this before feeling completely alienated, and having no rudder, no understanding, no promise of anything that could set the sails straight. For instance, I totally remember where I was in the late sixties and early seventies, growing up then. That’s especially dedicated to bringing spiritual promises and pitfalls into a very down to earth manner, so that we can all get a better grasp.īut I am finding that even those of us who have done a tremendous amount of work over many years, these most simple concepts are as applicable now as they were then. We’ve talked about it on another podcast we call “Mind Rolling,” that I do with David Silver. We’ve talked a little bit about it before. For those of us who grew up with Ram Dass, and for those of us who have only recently come to hear about Ram Dass, listening to some lectures, reading some books and so on, there’s a huge parallel between those days and today. This one is about, and is called The Promises and Pitfalls of the Spiritual Path.
Today we have a talk that I dug up from the vast archives from Ram Dass’s work over the last 40 odd years, amazing.
