In this episode of Here and Now: Dealing with a slightly wild audience, Ram Dass answers questions about how our actions can influence other people’s journey of awakening, what commitment truly is, and how to look at our predicament from different levels. But what Ram Dass really wants to talk about is three things: God, sex, and dope. He talks about moving beyond the desire for drugs, how people become attached to their sexual expression and what tantra truly is, and defines God to the best of his ability. Ram Dass ends the evening by singing, “Rejoice in the Lord.” Again, I say, rejoice. “Beyond all of the patterns of energy – physical, astral, causal – lies God, that which is beyond form. You aim for that, and in the course of it, if you are pure in your aim, you can do nothing which is adharmic, going against the dharma. And if you stay in the flow, in the Tao, in the dharma, then whatever needs to be for you and your fellow human being will be done, even though you may not understand what it is that’s happening to you. Your intellectual awareness of what is going on is not necessary for this journey. It can speed it up and help it, but it’s not necessary.” – Ram Dass ================ Ram Dass on God, Sex, and Dope – Here and Now Podcast Ep. 237 - https://youtu.be/Il5mGU0Q6sU Ram Dass – Here and Now – Ep. 237 – God, Sex, and Dope - https://beherenownetwork.com/ram-dass-here-and-now-ep-237-god-sex-and-dope ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
