* The ego is afraid of death because it sees the end of the ego.
And therefore the culture is afraid of death.
However, when we identify with the soul there is no fear of death.

However, when we identify with the soul there is no fear of death.
*The grace of it was the turning inward.
And I certainly identified with my soul.
I didn't identify with my body. And my mind.
My perception of myself was of
a spiritual being delving into humanity.

Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don`t want to change,
let them sleep
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don`t want to change,

This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way,
sleep on
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
If you want to improve your mind that way,
sleep on
I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.
If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,
and sleep.

The snake spirit animal has a powerful connection to primal energy and life force.
In most cultures, it is regarded as a powerful symbol
that represents the source of life.
The appearance of the snake spirit animal in your life
possibly means that increased energy,
important transitions, change, and healing opportunities
are showing themselves.

AFTERNOON
be light.
as minerals in the ground rise inside trees
and become tree,
as minerals in the ground rise inside trees
and become tree,
as plant faces an animal
and enters the animal,
and enters the animal,
so a human
can put down the heavy
body baggage and
be light.

Listen to it. It is now.

It is taking your whole world in,

All you have ever thought and felt.
Including that which has given a home,
a birthing place to it all.

Your life is an undivided whole.

But first, diminish all that is small in you.
All your bits and pieces.
Your thoughts of grandeur and failure.
Your overwhelming feelings.
Your precious little person.
They will get in the way.
Make them dim and distant.

Let them leave you.
For they were never yours, never you.
They were little clowns dancing, laughing, crying
on the stage of your life.
Asking for your applauds or your pity.

Don’t involve yourself with them.
Welcome them all but stay remote, untouched.
Let them perform though.
They need to tell you something.
To warn you.

They need to tell you something.

But stay when they have left the stage.
Don’t run away with them.
Don’t forget who you are.
Extend your view.
Make your being whole.
Encompass it.
Espouse it.

RAM DASS: FIERCE GRACE
RAM DASS: FIERCE GRACE
Below in this font are Excerpts from:
https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/library/magazine/home/20000521mag-ramdass.html?oref=login
Ram Dass said the stroke had taught him to appreciate silence:
"In my head there's a dressing room
where my concepts become clothed in words.
But that dressing room has been bombed out.
I can have clear thoughts but no words for them,
so when I speak, you'll see, every once in a while . . . silence."
He invited the crowd to "play in the silence" with him,
and for the next three hours,
when he fell quiet,
a peacefulness seemed to descend on the room
as people relaxed with him.
Ram Dass said he refuses to be held to anything he has said before.
In "Still Here," he quotes Gandhi as saying that
only God has access to absolute truth:
"My understanding of truth can change from day to day.
And my commitment must be to truth rather than to consistency."
He is careful not to smoke around other religious teachers
"because it's not spiritually correct."
Deepak Chopra, the author of "How to Know God," said in an interview that "recurrent use of psychedelics is dangerous"
and that it is possible to attain the same shifts in awareness
by "going into deep meditation."
Ram Dass said, "That's true."
He held up the bag of marijuana.
"But pot works faster."
This shape-shifting and willingness to break ranks with colleagues
have long been trademarks of Ram Dass.
He appears to be the spiritually focused,
grace-imbued survivor of a stroke
and then,
as if with a turn of the prism,
he is the inveterate tripper.
"I'm a mixed message," he said.
Ram Dass told 2,000 people that after the stroke,
"everyone saw me as a victim of a terrible illness.
But what happened to my body was far less frightening
than what happened to my soul.
The stroke wiped out my faith.
It took me so far from my guru
that I felt my oxygen cord had been cut."
Ram Dass's guru died in 1973,
but Ram Dass maintained through the years
that he could still feel his "closeness."
Ram Dass held up his left arm.
"Over here, I have my guru. He's compassionate,
and he promised he would shower me with grace."
Ram Dass moved his hand to the other side of his body.
"And here I have a stroke."
He sawed his hand from side to side.
"Grace . . . stroke. I couldn't put the two together.
Then I thought, maybe the stroke is a form of grace,
and I hunted for that:
how could the stroke be seen as grace?"
In the following months, he said, he began to look at the effects of the stroke.
He had become more humble and more compassionate,
he had been forced to slow down and he had learned
what it was to be dependent
instead of being the one who helps.
"The stroke was giving me lessons, advanced lessons," he said.
"It brought me into my soul, and that's grace."
He dropped his left hand.
"Fierce grace."
