If you’re interested in stepping deeper into the mystery of aging and death, check out the new course at Love Serve Serve Remember Foundation: Walking Through Each Other’s Homes. Ram Das begins with a short meditation centered around the words of Dujom Rinpoche. It is used as an example of how to learn from these powerful texts. Ram Dass discusses how death began to emerge from cultural closets as we spent our age, facing fears of the future. For him, death is an incredible movement of consciousness of mystery. It’s a window of opportunity. Ram Dass explores dealing with pain as we age and face death. Rather than being in a space that had rejected the concept of death, he shares the story of a friend who created an incredible space for her death process. He urges us to remain students of the mystery of life and death. Ram Dass ends by reading a series of quotes about death and near-death experiences. He talks about not seeing it as a horrible dark hole, but about making friends with it. The Ram Dass community meets regularly and engages in meaningful discussions about podcasts. We invite you to share your curiosity, insights and wisdom. Sign up for a general fellowship and receive event invitations directly in your inbox.
“It’s the moment of birth, the moment of death, the same thing. It’s an incredible movement of consciousness of mystery. It’s a window of opportunity. – Lambdas
