Hello everyone and welcome to Ramdhas here and now another edition.

Before I get into it, let me just prompt you all about this amazing happening in Los Angeles on October 24th, 2021.

And it's an all day event. It's two events during the day and in the evening and it's a celebration of the 50th anniversary of B here now, the publication of the book,

as well as tribute to Ramdhas and we are going on almost two years since he passed. So we're going to have wonderful presenters like Jack Cornfield, Christian Us is going to do a workshop during the day.

I'll be there with Pete Holmes, Mirabai Star and Nina Rao will be there and others. And we will be featuring because this dome is this incredible, immersive space.

And we are going to we've developed with a company called Trip, a wonderful film called Journey, a short film, like just under 10 minutes.

That is, replicates Ramdhas's mushroom trip that turned him on in the early 60s. And that's going to be displayed on the dome alongside of some other films that we have.

That again, we'll go a long way to celebrating both Ramdhas and be here now. There's one.

It's actually a music video with John Hopkins and East Forest using Ramdhas talk, just an incredible talk.

And it animates the brown pages of be here now. And then in the evening, it will be a concert with Christian Us, John Forte, formerly of the Fuji's.

And Justin Burrata of Glitch Mob and East Forest and Nina will start the proceedings with her invocation.

So go to Ramdhas.org slash wisdom. That's WISDOME. And you'll get all of the information and the lineups and the schedule.

And those of you who cannot come because you're not in the vicinity, it will be live streams. And you'll be able to register for free for the live stream, obviously, all based on what you always have done for us, which is continue to support these offerings through your donations, which we very much appreciate.

So big event, October 24th. That's a Sunday. And as I said, if you can't show and just register for the live stream.

Okay. So this is more of Q&A kind of thing with Ramdhas that we started with with the last episode of here and now.

And this one is called the mechanics of the mind and it's focusing.

Ramdhas is focusing on the appreciation for the trap of expectations and awakening from the entrapments of our mind.

And he answers question about diagnosing the root cause of our negative behavioral pattern.

I'm laughing because of the ubiquit, ubiquitiveness of that ubiquity.

He talks about historical versus a historical. There's another word that I'd never heard before. Hope that's a good one.

Techniques of behavior change. Honing in on the kind of meditation practices that can help us understand the mechanics of the mind.

And he also talks about how therapy can be helpful.
