I have written and spoken my thoughts over many years. Now I'm on new ground and spirit. I want to bring these together. Things like karma yoga, bhakti yoga, conscious dying, conscious aging. Consciousness.
Ram DassThe soul is not part of the incarnation. It comes into the incarnation. And the soul is not afraid of death because it has done it so many times.
Ram DassThere are wars and poverty and so on - it's based on fear. You can cure that with your being by not being afraid.
Ram DassWhen you look back at your own life, you see ... the sufferings you went through, each time you would have avoided it if you possibly could. And yet, when you look at the depth of your character now, isn't a part of that a product of those experiences? Weren't those experiences part of what created the depth of your inner being?
