Ram Dass - Talks and Stories at the Farm Pt.1 | [Black Screen / No Music / Full Lecture]

[Music] rrishna says you can't teach a hunter can't teach a hunter it is wrong to kill and uh Paul twitchell writes about eeken car says The Higher One climbs on the spiritual ladder the more he will grant others their own freedom and give less interference to another's State of [Music] Consciousness and give less interference to another's State of [Music] Consciousness we have had a rash recently a rash of um beings who have uh been around here who have come to talk to me and who have said I'm

doing fine but I really want you to help somebody I want you to help my aging mother I want you to help my brother you help my son [Music] my mother is so unhappy how can I help her now at first blush such reactions would seem very Humane conscious and loving but they are also very mechanical lensky says to be a Christian means to be responsible responsibility comes when a man ceases to be a machine and begins in fact to desire to be a Christian in order to be a good Christian one must B only a

conscious egoist can help people that is that most of our efforts to help somebody are very very high drama here is a mother who was saying look how I suffer and here is a kid saying mother's suffering so bad what can I tell her could I get her to meditate if I could get my mother to sit down and meditate she would become a better happier Fuller being [Music] at first my um implication the my U tendency was to always climb in with both feet kind of a kind of a do Gooding um tradition of uh servi

ce I [Music] was meet with people who I was told wanted to somebody else wanted me to see and I would see them and it slowly dawned on me that I was mely being a cast in a character role and I was mely being asked to play another part in a drama that had nothing to do with change everybody was happy in their role the mother was busy suffering the kid was busy changing the mother from suffering I was busy being the wise person people turned to to change their mother's suffering and everybody had

their part to play the one thing that was missing was that the mother hadn't asked to stop suffering [Music] [Music] when my mother started to die both of my my my brother and I my middle brother the very uh high and strange and emotional brother and I were both very concerned to help reduce any suffering she might undergo but a um a a visit after a while convinced me that she was um she had she had written the whole script herself she knew just how she was going to do this whole thing my brothe

r couldn't accept this however and he he had to relieve her suffering whether she liked it or not and he he reasoned to her if you understood what was happening to your body more you would suffer less so he said I will endeavor to share an education with you about how the body works so he brought over Gray's Anatomy starting with chapter one he was going to read to her every afternoon and see why they lock my brother up whether she liked it or not she didn't want to read gr and she say I've got

a headache says we'll only read one page okay okay just one page then he figured when he finished gra Anatomy do the Bible she'd be ready for that by then and then it would be really all right she threw him out [Music] she and after I began to be aware that there was really uh [Music] uh that as um see if somebody is seeking something and then you have something that they can use you have you're a vehicle through which something comes that they can use and that means something happens to them th

en they want to share it with everybody they love but the thing is that a lot of the people they love don't want to share it so I realized that as that if whatever maharaji was doing through me was really taking I was going to have more and more of these peripheral people coming who were being sent to me for something or [Music] other [Music] so at first I tried and then I saw the futility of that and then I got into a place that was very callous seemed to me at first I mean I could sit and I co

uld watch someone suffer and I could feel compassion for them and at the same same time I could not I did not lift a finger to do anything because I realized the futility of trying to do something they hadn't asked me to do and even when I was sitting with my mother the week before her death I sat there and I knew here I had been working with the Tibetan book of the dead and I had been through many psychedelic experiences which involved confronting death and I had confronted death with you know

huge doses of LSD in the ocean in the middle of the night and you know pounding Surf and jungle and all the melodramas and I was you know I was I was dying to talk with her about dying but it was none of my business to do so all I could do was sit there and wait and if and when and when she finally did say something about dying she opened the door and then I could come in but she had open the [Music] door it turns out you see that there are that the different members of a family have entirely di

fferent karmas two brothers can be such that one is a very very conscious being and one is a completely uh unconscious mechanical being they both come out of the same parents and they almost could be uh uh Twins and all psychologies attempt to understand individual differences among siblings on the basis of differences in environment and experience have been flat have done been trivial in terms of their findings because it's like in The Grand Design of things somebody is born into a family which

will allow them to have a certain set of experiences which is going to help their karmic their unfolding their karmic unfolding and maybe they are very high and what they need is the abrasiveness of some completely dense being around them to rub against which is going to open them up in that way and therefore they might have a brother or a sister that is completely sleepwalking through life some of you have read um Sal's Teddy the short story Teddy in the nine short stories of JD Salinger and i

n that uh Teddy's little sister is just a you know just a nice little girl she's a good kid but she's just not a very conscious kid and Teddy on the other hand is like an old llama he just happens to be 10 years old but he in this life but he's an old llama I have sat with my father um in the past two years now literally dozens of times during which he has been in the presence of explanations about what it is I'm trying to do trying to be doing being What's Happening Here and what has rubbed off

is a feeling we're all good people but nothing has rubbed off that is easing his own anxiety about dying well I shouldn't say that there is a change in him in the sense that he lives much more in the present because of our presence than he ever did before because you can't live around dozens and dozens of people all of whom are living in the present moment and still hang on that hard to the past or the future [Music] but the rubbing off has been gentle and it hasn't given him a center that he c

ould use were we not around that is the minute we are gone he would lose his Center again in the history the story of the Bible is the Continuing Story of a higher message coming to man man hearing the message and then ending up very shortly thereafter rejecting the message because he was too worldly to be able to absorb it although at the moment the miracle would blow his mind and he would fall on his face as the Bible would say fall in his face in humility [Music] and [Music] so the Old Testam

ent is really the story of it's a funny situation it's a group of people who keep saying we are the chosen people and then consistently forget they even forget in the same generation they just don't forget it's not that their children forget what their parents deal they made with God the the the people who made the deal themselves [Music] forget it's like you can sit around here and we can talk about the spirit and about who man is and you can get a certain feeling about yourself and you can wal

k down to the car and by the time you're over the hill you can be uptight angry bugged full of all kinds of stuff you've just lost your whole Center again boy that's so [Music] easy there are some people in this community who I realize that my words bring down because when they're by themselves they're just so high they're just so far out they're just beyond words they just sew in the spirit in the light now I come along whatever I'm going to say to them is going to bring them down and there are

other people here that the minute I turn away they are so in worldly stuff it's unbelievable I mean they'll just turn away from me and the next conversation they'll have will be something so whirly I can't even believe it's happening right here [Music] it's like water seeks its own level water seeks its own level you can force it higher or force it lower and then it'll immediately go back to whatever level it can function it and it's begun to sort of horrify me to see somebody come along that i

s so beautiful such a a a spiritually high being and that the mask or the veil is just so thick at this point they're around me and they already they almost sense their own Heritage or tradition or where they are inside but not quite and I can feel it and I try to make make contact and then I see them go back I think Macho better be uh tied up uh or something like that would somebody help on that verit tale ver uh verit tale do Eric ver tail picking cuz mucho is really been constantly causing sh

e's going with much resistance we have some dogs in heat here and B mucho doesn't know way to start the Sea of [Music] riches it's like watching someone you love drown you're watching them go under and you can't do anything because this isn't the round they're going to not drown it's like a nightmare that people have a recurrent nightmare that somebody they love is just beyond their grasp and slipping away like somebody's going over the side of a thing and you reach for them and your hand just m

isses that feeling if I I I constantly for about a year after I got back here I went through this feeling if I were only pure that person would hear what they have to hear see that I was caught in this I got to do something I got to do something I couldn't accept although I could mouve it intellectually I could say look there is no doer and there's nothing to do I couldn't emotionally accept this I still had to do something see I gone through a series of stages when I was a young boy or a teenag

er I I was an idealist there was a lot I had to do then I got that cynical feeling as I saw how the wheels of the government and power and economics and all ran and I thought oh man there's nothing an individual can do you just caught in this huge thing and I got that deep depression that comes that futility that feeling of futility and then I got to another place and I suddenly saw there was something you could do and then I tried to do it and I saw I couldn't do it couldn't do it because what

everybody needs from everybody else more than anything else is help in getting out of their own drama helping getting out of their own melodrama and you can't get somebody else out of your me their melodrama unless you're out of it to begin with if you're already in the quicksand forget it you can't help anybody else out of quicksand Dr kishna says somebody whose balances are not even how can they help somebody else find true true measure so what gets to the place that the you and this is the he

ight of the feeling of impotence that the greatest thing you can do for to help somebody else is to witness your own desire to help somebody else that's a pretty trivial way of helping somebody it's the same drama as this one if I try to communicate to you if I care about like I've got to get this message across to all of you forget it because I will be sending some vibrational message that will almost have in it something that prohibits your receiving it and it's only when I use throwaways all

I'm doing is blowing these three hours throwing them away talking to the winds can I send the message with so little need behind it that you can hear it at the level it can do you some good that you can work with it that it can help you get free of attachment rather than catching you deeper and deeper into the thing deeper and deeper into the illusion and at the same moment as I'm ODed with the horror of the predicament that you can see somebody drowning and you can't do anything I also am insid

e overwhelmed with the cosmic humor of the situation that I am still caught in the illusion where I think there they are and there I am and there is something that needs to be done and that's really funny see there are two levels back there are all these levels back actually level of wanting to help level of feeling the frustration that you can't help that way that's the horror then there's the level of seeing the humor of your own seeing of the horror cuz all I did was lose for a moment the und

erstanding that we weren't running the show in the first place I have quoted before and I will quote now again if I can recall it the uh quote from the book Renee by Renee domal book is called Mount analog and the book concerns a group of Europeans who were mountain climbers and they calculated by mathematical techniques the fact that somewhere in the world there was a mountain higher than a than any had ever known and the reason nobody ever found this mountain was because it was located on an i

sland and it had its own magnetic field around it such that a ship going towards it would go right around to think it was thinking it was going in a straight line so nobody ever found this place and they computed it and they computed that if you approach this island from the West looking East at Sunrise or sunset at certain times Seasons certain astronomical configurations you would might be able to see a channel through to this island where areon would be this mountain which they call Mount ana

log and they outfitted a ship and they went there and indeed they found the mountain and they got to the base of the mountain and they found some strange and unusual people and they outfitted a a climbing party and they went up and they found all their methods of climbing none of them would work their methods of taking food and so on they had to adjust new things at each new level which is exactly a perfect metaphor for the journey into Consciousness which is what the book was about Renee deal w

as a nitrous oxide sniffer in the 30s in Paris and the last quote in the Rene deal book was Captain logos who was the head of the Expedition who said Captain soal slow goes backwards Captain soal who said by our calculations thinking of Nothing Else by our desires abandoning all bodily Comforts by our efforts renouncing all other considerations we gained entry into this new world so it seemed to us but if we were able to approach Mount analog it was because the invisible beings who guard the ent

rance open them for us the crowing in the Milky Dawn thinks that it's call raises the Sun the child crying in a closed room howling in a closed room thinks that its cry opens the door but son and mother follow courses set by their own beings those who saw us even though we could not see them opened the door in answer to our purile [Music] calculations our unsteady desires and our awkward efforts with a generous [Music] welcome now there are some people who are living in this community and who ar

e gathered here that when I would say to you we are able to be here and this is all so harmonious and beautiful because of maharaji's Grace because of the guru's grace some of you would say well that's all very nice that's sort of a pleasant way of putting it and but you know come on that's sort of he's just talking that kind of talk again you get right down to it after all you know these are good kids that came along and you know his father's a nice guy and the place is built and there's the la

nd up there why shouldn't people and it's all all right and just like when some people here sit down before their Puja table and look at a picture of maharaji or the or haridas Baba or Ram or Krishna they go through well it's an interesting sort of picture and I'll think about the symbology of the person and that will make me a pure being and there are others who make contact and say I have just been with maharaji or maharaji just said [Music] [Music] or I live in a universe where I have I'm per

fectly comfortable that man as we know him at this frequency of reception through our senses and thoughts is not the highest being on the philogenetic scale there are higher beings and they are here too and that these higher beings one of the quality of higherness is that they do not live in time and space they are not limited to a time space Locust like we are so that they are not only here but there are lots of other places simultaneously there's used to be a there's a I have a picture in my w

all of one of the holy men of India who was his particular thing was his little city or power was that he would hold Dar in two places at once he'd be sitting here and he'd also be sitting in Boston group would be gathered there too nobody know who is the real one which twin has the Tony you never knew you never knew which was his material body and which was a manifestation of his mind are they both were or neither was or what who [Music] knows [Music] [Music] you talk about the Grand Des or his

will not my but thy will oh Lord who is that who's that old Lord who is the old Lord God have mercy Lord have mercy is that like Sam lay off have mercy is that the same thing is it just Sam that you can't [Music] [Music] see some of you have been able to break out of certain limitations of your Consciousness to the extent that you you have experienced other states of Consciousness and met other beings other than these beings and so what I'm saying sounds almost reasonable to you others it sound

s a little like pretty gy speculation pretty gy speculation it makes a whole lot of difference to your head whether you think for example that whether or not the United States gets out of Vietnam and whether or not Vietnam stops and whether or not China gets strong and whether or not there is a war between races and whether or not it's all sitting in the head of Richard Nixon or whether you think it's sitting in the head of a being who lives outside of time and space who sees how it all is I get

really uptight if I thought that rational man was really running the show because he's obviously so in inadequate to do the to the [Music] task since Richard Nixon can never get out of the predicament of being Richard Nixon long enough to appreciate what the problem is yeah I sit somebody says tells me about the horror of the world I say it's all all right sounds like a tremendously polanish attitude it sounds like you're really saying come on don't get worried don't get up tight it's all okay

forget it just make believe it's beautiful ignore all theara but the fact of the matter is you can't change anything until you understand how it all is and you can't understand how it all is until you yourself can calm your own Consciousness and be awake and be independent of time and space as long as you're stuck in the illusion of a fixed identity this very little you can do for yourself or anyone else yourself or anyone [Music] [Music] else [Music] I used to do marriage counseling and I would

get numbers of people who would say we're getting married and I know that this girl is very uptight but I can do a lot for her or this girl would say he's such a wonderful guy and of course he's got these peculiarities but I know that um you know that I can help him out of all all that see the problem many of you have faced I'm sure already is that there is a discontinuous rate at which people awaken or there are different people are at different stages and what happens is you develop an entire

circle of friends at one level of your own Consciousness and then you wake up just a little bit and suddenly you look around and all these groovy people you thought were just such a ball to hang out with so stimulating so interesting so much fun just seem like mechanical men to you and there's a horror at first cuz these are people you love just 5 minutes ago what are you going to do about them you're going to reject them you got to help them but you can't help them see what a horrible predicam

ent to be in a horrible predicament aren't you a true friend that's what happened to to to Tim and I at Harvard at first Tim Larry and I we we took these um wild chemicals see we had all these groovy colleagues around us at har we really like them Dave mlen herb kelman all kinds of nice guys we took this chemical and we saw something and we wanted to share it with our friends you know we love you we want you to know what's happening to us and they said well isn't that interesting and then the ne

xt day there they were still being same guys they were yesterday and we said look uh you really got to try this and they said no and there we were that it was clear no words we were going to say was going to do it and they were not ready or open or willing or interested or anything whatever you want to call it or foool enough or however you want to Define it to attempt to have this kind of an experience and what happened was and it was just horrible it's just like uh you have gotten on a you're

on an ocean liner and they throw off the ropes and then it slowly pulls away from the dock and you're waving and you just see all these people who you love become little and and little and little and disappear into the background until they just sort of like back there somewhere and so what happens to many people is as they start to change their state of consciousness simultaneously they start to change the nature of the people they hang out with change the nature of their friends and to the old

friends you appear as somebody who uh as gief says your all your friends will F start to find you very dull you know you're not very interesting anymore because you're not excited about the melodramas of life like he used to be says if ever so gently you are shifting your entire definition of who you are and therefore the kinds of friends you would have the kind of Associates the circle of connections the contacts you would have people at we background become figure you're working in a company

and previously you've been all involved with the most stusy people around who would really help you in your career and suddenly you start to get higher and you begin to look and you find out that the janitor is a Buddhist janitor is not going to help you in your path at all but the janitor really turns you on janitor is not going to help you in the business but the janitor may help you become a better Buddhist and suddenly you'd rather hang out with the janitor than with the vice president I was

with a fellow in New Delhi whose father had been one of the British officials before the Indian takeover of India and uh he was actually an initiated llama but he also had a complete front of being a very straight guy see and he had uh I don't know why L is on straight but he they're too straight or something being crooked straight or something any rate he had a front of being a respectable Western businessman type guy and I was walking barefoot in this through the streets of India through New

Deli and I was walking with him and we were very close and we suddenly saw one of his father's business associates coming down the street who he wanted to and he said would you mind terribly if uh you cross the street for a few minutes and I'll meet you at the end of the block I don't mind it's gas I it's very funny and I watched him go up and how you miss go to the club you have drinks Char good then he went on to the end of the block and we met and came back together again and then we went out

on our on Mahayana Buddhism on the great vehicle climbed aboard the great vehicle I was standing over there and uh and Carl said to me well you look like somebody who about ready to go down to the Washington meetings of the psychological Society or you don't look like I think he said you do you don't you don't look like one [Music] who now if I walk into the uh like like I've done before I've walked into something like the shm hotel in Washington like this takes guts I mean it's not so easy as

you might think so you walk into the Sherm Hotel it's okay it's all all right it's all all right it's cool it's beautiful and the the looks are unbelievable I me you just the whole scene stops and all the people not looking are the [Laughter] [Music] best and if I walk in and all my old psychological colleagues are around they'll go through the in changes some of them will say poor dick terrible what happened to him isn't it I mean look at that he's making a spectacle of himself that's course [M

usic] true others will say he's really putting us on man he's a great game player hi Dick boy you're really cool like come on let's have a drink and they of course will be right under wrong also others will say gee I wonder what happened to dick and they'll come up and they'll listen and they'll hear that there is something different that makes who's wearing this somebody else I was in Big Sur and some of my old rock and roll friends came down to visit me I was having Daran daily up in the mount

ains of Big Sur and there had been maybe 30 or 40 people just like us sitting around all afternoon drinking M tea and talking and it was very beautiful and playing the tumor and then they all left and just they was leaving this car drove up with these old Buddies the old buddies and everybody was backing out the door saying Namaste Namaste Ras and in Walk the hello dick you know like wow great to see it did you hear what happened to and I sat with disbelief I mean it was like they had come to th

e wrong house and I knew who they were talking to and I knew what they wanted but it wasn't there wasn't anybody in here to respond to that guy any to those those cues anymore I just wasn't interested just wasn't interested it was very poignant it was so worldly it was so attached it was so much [Music] [Music] stuff and they talked and they talked and they talked and I sat there it was like the story in in uspensky in which uspensky invited his friend to lunch and gief set up this fancy lunch a

nd then they all sat there and for 4 hours spin's friend talked without stopping and at the end he said Gee It's been a most interesting lunch thank you very much for having me and nobody of the 15 people that said one word it was a test of some sort the guy never even realized that nobody had spoken well these people talked and talked and talked and I sat there and sat there and I said did they want to share supper make prad and yes and we made chapatis and kedry and they talked and talked and

talked about things and it didn't seem to matter to them at all that I was not the least bit interested in anything they were saying they couldn't stop long enough to hear that there wasn't the same guy back there because they had an expectation of who I was and I wasn't that guy anymore I tried to be really it's funny I tried to be see I wanted to be interested in what I used to be interested in cuz I remember being interested in it was like when I went to visit Alan Watts and Tim Larry both in

California both of them asked me at one time in the evening what is your view of how all this is going what what is the plan for the Universe I said I don't know well don't you think about it no I don't think about and that ends the conversation I mean what do you do then in the past we could talk for hours about your plan versus my plan of how the universe is but the fact is neither of us really know enough so why even talk about it and when we know it there'll be nothing to say anyway so that

whole idea of talking about how the universe is is really just fun and Gam somebody said to me yesterday you know there's something really bad about this place cuz nobody's really laughing I said well Cosmic humor is not a GAA in that kind of a sense it's not a ha ha haa type thing that's more like a kind of a Hysteria [Music] [Music] it's like I used to read the New York Times every Sunday I wouldn't say from cover to cover that's quite an almost an impossibility but I would read the critical

issues of the day and I read Time Magazine every week and I'd read some other magazine to counteract time like I don't know what the real IST [Music] or some liberal magazine then I went to India and I for for months and months and months I never read the New York Times and I never read time and I never knew what was happening in the world I didn't know who was running for president in the United States imagine that I didn't know whether we had met made the moonshot I didn't know whether people

had been murdered I didn't know what new drug laws there were I didn't know that Martin Luther King had died imagine that I mean I a good American did not know that Martin Luther King had died and at first I felt very uptight about this as if like cuz I had been so trained to keep you know keep your finger right on the worldly stuff all the time and I thought it must make a difference because everybody's so busy doing it I mean every man that's worth his salt at The Breakfast Table always has hi

s morning newspaper and the comedy routine always is the wife's trying to have a conversation and she can't because the husband is so busy learning about the Affairs of the world so that the day will work because they're important things to be known and thought about and I didn't think about any of them for all those months and then a Wester came from the United States and I spent an evening with him and his head was full of these things and in the course of the evening he told me this happened

to Martin Luther King and this happened to Lyndon Johnson and this is who's running and this is and so on and I got a synopsis you know the New York Times gives a summary every week I went from the daily thing finally to the summary at the week see I was getting better or worse less involved cuz you got the 6:00 news and it's the 6 o'clock news different from the 11:00 news and now we've got a big coverage at 7 in the morning because something may have happened during the night and I suddenly sa

w the way in which nothing really happened in the world because everybody was constantly reassuring everybody that the way they were now thinking was the right way to think by constantly reviewing it all from the same vantage point and it was only those guys who pulled out of the whole mess for a while and just sat back and got free of that constant attitudinal input started and say can you imagine the absurdity of that preoccupation I meet old friends of mine from the days when I was involved i

n u the Psychedelic uh world and they'd say do you know what the law the now states do you know who was busted do you know what the government said do you know and you know and I'd say no say aren't you interested I'd say no does it have anything to do with my Consciousness at this is there anything I'm supposed to do about them no see the delicate problem is this that as you start to experience higher States of consci ious you are slowly extricating yourself from an entire network of attitudes

and associations that have that have reinforced your being at the level you're just leaving and everything around that will constantly tell you come back come back you're making a mistake come on back so that when a child starts to change the parents say we don't understand you anymore people say what's happened to you your friends say what's happened to you you're not as interested and there is a horrible transition stage you see when you start to see the possibilities of an alternative way of

viewing the world but you still desperately need the reassurance of all the people who view the world the other way and then you're in a tough position really tough position I want my mother to approve of me somebody tells me at the same time I know they can't that she can't Christ was originally going to teach the Jews he was going to be the Messiah for the Jews and the Jews said baby we don't want a messiah the priest said we got the temples going it's all cool you know we don't want to upset

the apple cart with any Visionaries we know how it is Abra abam told us and Moses told us it's all cool and you are clearly just a hustler and be on your way Jesus said then we will teach the people of the Nations teach the Nations because the chosen people don't want to be chosen anymore prescription has got to be respected teach only those who are ready to hear and ready to hear means that a person says how is it can you help me understand can you explain to me I want to know they've got to re

ach out they the hand has got to come out there's got to be that movement towards I mean I will meet I'm sure in Washington at the ahp meetings next week I will meet maybe 50 of my old colleagues people that were graduate students with me or people that were on faculties at one place or another with me and they will all be loving and friendly because I'm kind of notorious and they all sort of want to make a contact with somebody this notorious they all because in Psychology I'm that poor guy you

know that got brainwashed by Tim lirry young promising good boy who led astray by wild Irishman and they'll all want to sort of commiserate with me it's great to be surrounded by people who are pitting you when you're not suffering and out of those 50 maybe a couple will say what are you into not out of like I met one on the plane going to Vancouver a few weeks ago and he says um uh tell me what are you doing on I said why do you want to know he says well so I can tell everybody back at the dep

artment because the fact that I've seen you and I know everybody keeps wondering what's happening with dick I can go back and tell him that motivation leads to a certain set of stories I can tell him the other kind of motivation of his saying look you and I were in the same business five years ago now you're doing something else why is it you're doing this other thing because I'm still in this business and what is it you found lacking and what is it you're now finding or what what is it all abou

t I mean how much can a human being be a student to another human being and maybe out of next weekends Daran in Washington in the guise of a presentation at a national meeting uh there will be a couple of consciousnesses that will say yeah right of course they'll just be ready to hear something and then the next weekend they'll be here are you going to speak on anything in particular I hav't any idea I never know what I'm gonna speak on until I'm standing [Music] there [Music] oh sh oh [Music] s
