Ram Dass "Awareness"

Shot on location at his current home in Maui in 2005. Ram Das engages you into a moment regarding your choice and arrangement of your birth and death. And outlays an understanding towards the embodiment of awareness.

Ram Dass, author of the groundbreaking classic Be Here Now, is one of America's most beloved spiritual teachers. Born Richard Alpert, he began teaching at Harvard University in 1958, where his explorations of human consciousness led him to conduct intensive research with LSD and other psychedelic elements in collaboration with Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg, and others. Because of the controversial nature of this research, he was eventually dismissed from Harvard in 1963.

Ram Dass' psychedelic work continued and became a prelude to the mystical country of the spirit and the source of consciousness itself. Mind expansion via chemical substances became a catalyst for spiritual seeking. In 1967, a fateful trip to India led him to his guru, Neem Karoli Baba. Under his guru's guidance, he studied yoga and meditation and received the name Ram Dass, or "servant of God." He has since pursued a variety of spiritual practices and has become world-renowned for his dedication to loving service.

Ram Dass is founder of the Hanuman Foundation, which developed the Prison-Ashram Project, designed to help inmates grow spiritually during incarceration, and the Living Dying Project, which provides support for conscious dying. He is also cofounder of the Seva Foundation, an international organization dedicated to relieving suffering in the world.

What he's talking about is an experience that is extremely difficult if not impossible to explain in spoken language.

I know it seems unfair from a human standpoint, but I've heard this from many other spiritual teachers (though not about "people on the street"). We (our souls) pick our birth & death dates, parents, lovers and key people in our lives. We learn certain lessons in each lifetime. People who get killed made an agreement with those who kill them. Both will learn from the experience. The key is to remember the LESSON. Check out "Many lives, many masters" and "Same soul, many bodies" by Brian Weiss.

You pick the people you walk by? So women abducted by the serial rapists and murderers pick them to walk by? Really? This dude is full of himself. Thinks he knows the mind of everything. The everlasting thought. The reason for being. Hey dude save the damn world how about it instead of making YouTube videos.

Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School, saving people, that is based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance

It teaches elevation of one's moral character. Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. Good people are being tortured, raped, killed, force-fed, deprived of sleep and have organs harvested from simply because their spiritual belief. Millions practitioners were killed by the evil CCP.
