Summary

On this episode of Here and Now, Ram Dass has a Sunday hangout session with Raghu Markus. The two chat about the concept of the 'soul-complex', how Ram Dass manages his suffering, as well as duality and devotion. Ram Dass and Raghu discuss the 'soul-complex' and the transition process between lives. They also consider the similarities between duel and non-duel systems. Explaining how the limitations of one are complimented by the other, and how the two have different means to the same end. "In life, the 'soul-complex' is never for two consecutive moments the same, but is, like the body, in constant change. There is thus a series of successive, and, in one sense, different states, which are in themselves but momentary. There is still a unifying bond in that each momentary state is a present representative of all those which are past, as it will be the generation of all future transformations potentially involved in it. This process is not interrupted by death." See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

0:00.0	Hi everyone, this is Ragoob and this is Ramdas here and now and this is a bit of another
0:25.4	new program from Ramdas is here and now podcast series. Although we did do one, we've done a couple
0:33.5	of these extemporaneous chats that I've had with Ramdas and he suggested he thought it was a lot
0:43.6	of fun but I was really happy to be able to spend the time with him and he said, hey, why don't we do
0:49.4	this every Sunday and I'm like, I don't know about every Sunday, Ramdas, but let's try and do more of
0:58.3	these. So we had this great chat where he was very very as he usually is honest about where he's at
1:05.6	what's been going on including what's been going on with his body. He said he's getting a little old
1:11.9	and I said, yep, we know that. In fact, we all are. So this is a wonderful talk chat with Ramdas
1:23.1	around aging and dealing with suffering and pain and then we went into this little discussion around
1:35.0	the Tibetan Book of the Dead, some commentary by John Woodrop that I had found and it's
1:42.4	interesting and Ramdas relates his own thoughts about it and what he has been connecting with in terms
1:52.3	of the eventual transition that he and all of us are going to be going through. And then we also
2:00.2	talked about the a little bit about the so-called differences of Bhakti Yoga Path and the path
2:12.2	of non-duality or Buddhism and devotion which was also a wonderful thing. I had found this thing which
2:22.7	I actually did on a mind rolling podcast with my buddy David Silver around Dilgo Kenshi Rinpoche and his
2:31.2	emotive reaction to his meeting with the incarnation of his teacher. So I hope you enjoy it and we
2:44.6	will do more of these and by the way please, please, please continue your support. We really
2:52.6	appreciate it. For the Be Here Now Network and of course, Ramdas.org and what what Ramdas puts out
2:59.1	there and all of the wonderful media we have from so many years and you can go to particularly Be Here
3:08.0	Now Network because it's a new network. I mean we're four and a half months into it and we do need
3:13.2	that support for the network. A lot of people working on this and of course Jack and Cornfield and
