Summary

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speaker: Ram Dass Ram Dass & Lorenzocirca: 2001 PROGRAM NOTES: [NOTE: All quotations are by Ram Dass.] "I was addicted to the experience of being high. I was not addicted to the chemicals, but just to the state. I had touched something so pure, and so fulfilling, that I had to keep going back. And I tried every method I knew to stay high." "What is required on this trip is renunciation of attachment." "Psychedelics show a possibility, but beyond that you still have a lot of stuff to do."

1:10.6	So now, here is Ram Dass in his own words.
1:12.6	The wild geese do not intend to cast their reflection.
1:17.6	The water has no mind to receive their image.
1:23.6	If I could sing or play an instrument for you, I would sing and play an instrument for you.
1:30.3	If I could dance for you, I would dance for you.
