    This comment is to peacefully protest the gatekeeping of RD’s lectures. Common complaints as clarified by the community on the Ram Dass subreddit are as follows.  Removal of content, privatizing/licensing out content, copyright striking others who post content without replacing what was removed or providing another means to access the content.   Restriction of what is released, cutting and editing pieces of full lectures and not releasing the full lectures themselves.   Putting a paywall in place that provides access to still limited content.   Access to content is overall severely limited compared to just a year or two ago.

    Wow.. This is a hard listen in so many ways: “it doesn’t matter” And yet it’s also so simple because it all matters.

  • It’s not that “It doesn’t matter,” it’s that you’re not in control of what you do. “It doesn’t matter” leads to the belief that any action can still be that positive feeling that you desire (called “good”). But that simply isn’t true - you always judge life, even if your conscience is clouded. The path of liberation (not from consequence, not from meaning, not from guilt)… is seeing that choice is the illusion. Not just for magical gurus who can see the future, but because none of us choose any thought, nor how said thought makes us feel. And that’s basically all of experience and what motivates us to act. And we’re pretty darn good at it, too, considering this thing called choice doesn’t actually exist. But we do learn. And our conscience never leaves us. So let go, have faith, and see who you become.
