Prague Gnosis - Terence Mckenna Interviews Ram Dass Pt 4

Terence Kemp McKenna was a writer, philosopher, psychonaut and ethnobotanist. He was noted for his many speculations on the use of psychedelic, plant-based entheogens, and subjects ranging from shamanism, the development of human consciousness, and novelty theory.

Dr. Richard Alpert, also known as Baba Ram Dass, is a contemporary spiritual teacher. He is well known for his association with Timothy Leary at Harvard University in the early 1960s, both having been dismissed from their professorships for experiments on the effects of psychedelic drugs on human subjects. He is also known for his travels to India and his association with the Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba.

One day the leaders of this great land will discuss human affairs in this way. The great way is not hard for those that have no prefences. Good and bad are the same side of a coin. Chasing the dollar is found in nature.  It's a dog chasing his own tail. Only when he realizes the tail is already and has always been apart of him, is when he see's through the clear light.

I started off with Ram Dass, the first teacher I listened to, bless his beautufiul soul! ... I've listened to everything that Eckhart Tolle has read, and he transformed my reality into peace, light, love. I watched everything on Youtube and beyond by Alan Watts, which shaped, moulded and deepened the ever expanding thirst for more on Reality, including the 'nothingness'. Now it's Terrence, an amazing, beautiful man with a mind opening and culture denying message which is deeply transformative

@cheaptrades hey there. I'd like to point you in the direction of "Be Here Now" by Ram Dass. Often people (like me, like you) can have unconscious prejudice against what we don't understand. In the book I mentioned, among the many topics that are covered, you'll find that Ram Dass speaks specifically about what, and who, a Guru is.

@Vertsk8er419 how touching

[Vertsk8er419]

@cheaptrades it's my rather blunt way of saying, what are you talking about? i mean it honestly, and it was meant to catch your attention... i'm on the grounds that i don't see any reason anyone would be so moved to discredit the originality of either of these men's thoughts and thus own personal experiences after watching such a profound/balanced talk between the two. "follower"? you can see the sparkle in their eyes, they're meaning what they're saying and saying what THEY'RE meaning.

@Vertsk8er419 In what part of my statement did you find muddled words? I could understand such a passive aggressive remark in person but it's the internet, for god's sake.
