SOUL CONNECTION with Ram Dass
Janie J: Tell me about Ram Dass. Who was he and what was his mission?
Answer: He was a spiritual leader sent to Earth to raise the consciousness of millions which he did and continues to do so.
He offered a different way to reach enlightenment – through drugs and other methods of higher learning, mostly having to do with searching within one’s soul for answers by probing with certain questions that make one think. Topics such as the meaning of life, interactions with one another, and the way of correct thinking – not based on your emotion (ego) but rather on substantiated facts. These teachings lead one to believe (or understand) that most of our existence is merely created in our heads or our minds. It’s all a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Our life is something we first create in our minds and then is confirmed by our actions. This is the reason it’s so important to have right thinking, i.e., thinking or mindset based on the actual situation; for it we don’t, we create an alternate universe which can be not only misleading, but harmful!
Let me (Ram Dass) explain. If you think the world is full of monsters, then you will surely find monsters. If you think monsters are bad and do bad things you will certainly encounter such situations. This may not be the life or situation you want, but if you focus on it and revisit those thoughts with continual worry, it will occur. Such is the law of the Universe. You will create it. Much better to focus on what you know to be true such as there are good and evil beings/people on Earth. I choose to associate with the good ones and see the good in all. Even the ‘bad’ ones I will seek to understand their plight. I will focus on the positive actions on the planet and thwart the bad actors when possible. I’ll put up my defenses but not wallow in fear of them. Therefore my existence will be one of love and light. I will follow the path of enlightenment and be of service to others, showing the way. “Lighting the Way,” as we in this realm call it.
Namaste. Best wishes on your journey. See you at the top. Ram Dass
