I'll have to check this out. I've been enjoying a lot of what he had to say about things.




Ramana is one of my favorite spiritual figures, and books by or about him always tend to be valuable reading.  The collection assembled by Godman stands out, though, as particularly lucid and accessible.  One other book to think about (not sure how well known this is, so apologies if this is old hat) would be I Am That, a collection of dialogues with Nisargadatta Maharaj:
http://www.amazon.com/I-Am-That-Nisargadatta-Maharaj/dp/0893860468

Quick quote from the latter:
Quote:

Nisargatta Maharaj said:
My Guru ordered me to attend to the sense 'I am' and to give attention to nothing else. I just obeyed. I did not follow any particular course of breathing, or meditation, or study of scriptures. Whatever happened, I would turn away my attention from it and remain with the sense 'I am'. It may look too simple, even crude. My only reason for doing it was that my Guru told me so. Yet it worked!"





--------------------
Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of living, it doesn't matter
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come even if you have broken your vow a thousand times,
Come, yet again, come, come

I enjoyed your story, and got a chuckle out of your partner shouting out "100 monkey effect!" I think he didn't forget the concept as much as lacked the words to describe it.  He once described himself has having crystal clear concepts, but lacked the words from his stroke, in a comparable manner of having to search for clothes in a wardrobe. I once too met Ram Dass at the Jewel Heart Center in Ann Arbor, MI.  I've probably told this story.  It seems like you got a comparable contact high from meeting him, even virtually.  :thumbup:

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

I went to a talk given by him once.  He was very stoned and very boring, repeating old stories while the audience genuflected.  I thought I was going to enjoy it but I came away with a very different impression.  My gf had to be talked into going and the look she gave me after about fifteen minutes of listening to his nonsense let me know it was going to be at least a week before I'd get laid.  I know when I'm in trouble and I grabbed her and we got the hell out of there and grabbed a bite to eat.  She was in a better mood after that. :doggystyle:




Reminds me of Six Feet Under and Brenda going to Nate's Quaker meeting :lol:

Me and Elise both felt so loved. I am grateful to God for this communication with Ram Dass, I will never forget it... It continues to sink in each day more and more, bringing me into the here now moment, where I can be ONE with it all.




Cool story bro, but when it's one there is no "I." There is nothing in it for you.

I see it differently.  To me, my inner reality is so incredibly subtle that to shout out ONE could be considered idolatrous.  I couldn't care less if there is just me, an all encompassing ONE, or a multiplicity.  Doesn't really matter, that's all just linear thought process.  It's all about heightened sensitivity.

Very cool story. That is awesome you were able to connect with him on such a personal level. I myself had one of my first "spiritual experiences" after trying out the Mantra Om Mani Padme Hum which he recommended in his book Journey of Awakening. Everything truly is about awakening, as you say. Waking up to a larger reality. Ram Dass always seemed like a genuine, loving human to me and Be Here Now has added much positivity to the world. In college one of my frat brothers picked up the book and opened to a random page, which happened to be the page with the giant penis on it. That was funny to explain. :lol:
