What we're seeing "out there" is the projection of where we're at--the projection of the clingings of our minds.
Ram DassIf you would truly bring peace to the world, identify with that place within you where you are Peace.
Ram DassAs we grow in our consciousness.. there will be more compassion and more love. And then... the barriers between people.. between religions.. and between nations will begin to fall.
Ram DassEverything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it.
Ram DassWatch how your mind judges. Judgment comes, in part, out of your own fear. You judge other people because you're not comfortable in your own being. By judging, you find out where you stand in relation to other people. The judging mind is very divisive. It separates. Separation closes your heart. If you close your heart to someone, you are perpetuating your suffering and theirs. Shifting out of judgment means learning to appreciate your predicament and their predicament with an open heart instead of judging. Then you can allow yourself and others to just be, without separation.
