Seperation

"Pain and separation occur when we regret the past or worry about the future.  Here and now is ecstasy." Ram Dass

Listening

“Only that in you which is me can hear what I'm saying.” Ram Dass

Healing and Loving What Is

Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is Now to move us closer to God. ~Ram Dass ♥

What Is

"The ego neuroses that once preoccupied me haven't all gone away.  What is gone is my identification with them.  Now they are merely quaint and fascinating...a passing show...More and more I am just awareness.  Life lives itself.   I am involved with it all, yet I cling to none of it.   It is what is.  No big deal."  Ram Das

Be Here Now

Don't let your mind get weary and confused
Your will be still, don't try
Don't let your heart get heavy child
Inside you there's a strength that lies

Don't let your soul get lonely child
It's only time, it will go by
Don't look for love in faces, places
It's in you, that's where you'll find kindness

Be here now, here now
Be here now, here now

Don't lose your faith in me
And I will try not to lose faith in you
Don't put your trust in walls
'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall

Be here now, here now
Be here now, here now

From "Be Here Now" by Ray LaMontagne

Fear and Death and Faith

"When you're secure in the soul, what's to fear?  Faith and love are stronger than any changes, stronger than aging, and, I am very sure, stronger than death."  Ram Dass

Ego and Hardship

"When you bear the unbearable, something in you dies..from the ego's perspective, it's not much fun.  From the soul's perspective it's a great learning opportunity."  Ram Dass
