Maui. Segments from the workshop with Ram Dass and Roshi Joan Halifax. Ram Dass says to surround the dying person with love. That Love permeates presence. We have to love ourselves unconditionally. Maharaj-ji turned Ram Dass' life around by unconditional love. Since he knew Maharaj-ji, he has unconditionally loved. Coming from a family of lawyers, he judged. Now he loves. Judging gets you to a power position. Love gets you into the middle of the stew. Once you get that you are lovable, it is a minor step to seeing the world as lovable. He has become aware of different planes of consciousness. He sees the ego plane and people caught in their incarnation. But there is this other plane where we have identity and that is the Soul plane. Then there is the One. Your ego is a thought. You are who you think you are on the ego plane. But just behind that is the Soul. He tells the story of when he first did mushrooms and lost his roles and his body and for the first time knew himself as as soul.
