Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.
Ram DassCaring is a reflex. Someone slips, your arm goes out. A car is in the ditch, you join others and push... You live, you help.
Ram DassPsychedelics helped me to escape.. albeit momentarily.. from the prison of my mind. It over-rode the habit patterns of thought and I was able to taste innocence again. Looking at sensations freshly without the conceptual overly was very profound.
Ram DassThis is the pathless path - returning to where you were initially before you got lost. The deepest truth in you is where the journey leads - shedding, like taking off layers of an onion, until you come to your essence. The key to the spiritual journey is not acquiring something outside of yourself. Rather it is shedding the veils to come back to the deepest truth of your being.
