Compassion is our Compass. I love Ram Dass!! In this video he teaches how love is important in any Spiritual Practice.

Ram Dass is one of my favourite teachers ever. I learnt a lot from reading his autobiography.

Yeah he is the integration/embodiment master. On the Spiritual Journey I am realizing that different teachers are great for different aspects and that the journey is circular. Not only that, the journey can trick you into thinking you are regressing if you are not careful. Why? Because you have to revist certain things you have done previously. 

For example, one aspect of the journey is if you have engaged in denial of experiencing certain identities, you may have to visit some just to get them out of your system such as sex, fighting, dancing, comedy, etc. A lot of people are so stuck in ego, they have never attempted to try something new and experience it and one of the best ways to break out of your ego is to try something vastly different. Travelling to another country and experiencing living there can do it too also.

Just taking on an identity that you have judged before as inferior can expand your world view. But the part I love about Ram Dass is his emphasis on how to be more compassionate. His teachings are very heart centered. Even though I already know what he is talking about, I like to borrow his perspective on how he implemented it in daily life and recently got an opportunity to use it and it worked!!!

So this stuff works people, when it comes to living from that place learning to open up your heart and allow that connection to other even when they are in pain helps them heal and break out of their nightmare.
