#ram-dass — Public Fediverse posts

I decided to try to catch up with how buddhism caught on in the late sixties, and got hold of "Be Here Now" by Ram Dass, a best seller back in the day.

It was an interesting read. The biographical part made me wonder about what a serious junkie he used to be! Some sort of religion was probably a good thing for him!

I liked the idea of Be Here Now, of really being here and in the now. Living a life of endless love and compassion in the now is good, all buddhism aside!

Many of us feel caught between big stories right now: apocalypse on one side, renewal on the other.

This reflection refuses that binary and returns us to practice. Regardless of how this moment is named later, the work remains relational — loving each other, easing suffering where possible, staying present without guarantees.

As we move toward fair share ethics, this feels less like a slogan and more like a way of standing together in uncertainty.

“I’m sorry, my friend. I didn’t hear any of that stressful thing you said. Have you ever considered listening to some #RamDass?”

- something I actually just said to somebody. They walked away from me confused. #Winning

Patience

Be patient. You’ll know when it’s time for you to wake up and move ahead.

Experience

It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.

This book is pure love. Got it from a used bookstore this weekend and just read the foreword by Ram Dass himself. One of the quotes I loved is by 14th century Christian Mystic Meister Eckhart,”If the soul could have known God without the world, God would never have created the world” ✨

Becoming nobody is a weird process and path.

That reminds me...

Have you ever seen the After Skool series on #youtube?

I thought it was fun drawings to illustrate interesting talks by people like Alan Watts & Ram Dass. I guess it's been a while or I've looked at the list of videos and....wow.

Jordan Peterson & the #antiTrans Heather Heying.

So...heads up on that. Seems like another youtube personality being paid to stear people to the right.

On #Radiolab I heard this #RamDass quote, “We are all just walking each other home,” and it stuck deeply inside me all day.

I just switched to April's calendar and discovered a perfect paint match for this weekends project! #paint #ramdass
