POWERFUL REMINDERS FOR EVERYDAY

POWERFUL REMINDERS FOR EVERYDAY ~ From Ram Dass (Richard Alpert), one of America's most beloved spiritual figures ~

“Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is now to move us closer to God.” 
― Ram Dass

“The game is not about becoming somebody, it's about becoming nobody.” 

“Learn to watch your drama unfold while at the same time knowing you are more than your drama.” 

“Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it.”

“The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it's in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I'm caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.” 

“Suffering is part of our training program for becoming wise.” 

“It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.” 

“We're all just walking each other home.” 

“Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we're so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act.” 
― Ram Dass
