"We Western consciousness think with the rational mind. But the system that we're dealing with is meta to the rational system, superior to it, above it, behind it, inside it. A system cannot look at something outside of itself. Since we only know the world through our rational mind and senses, that which is available to us in other ways, we tend to reject. We attach a certain kind of emotional rejection to it, we apply a self-righteous cynicism."

"Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different. We may go through life without suspecting their existence; but apply the requisite stimulus, and at a touch they are there in all their completeness, definite types of mentality which probably somewhere have their field of application and adaptation. No account of the universe in its totality can be final which leaves these other forms of consciousness quite disregarded. How to regard them is the question — for they are so discontinuous with ordinary consciousness. Yet they may determine attitudes though they cannot furnish formulas, and open a region though they fail to give a map. At any rate, they forbid a premature closing of our accounts with reality."
- William James

Ram Dass (born Richard Alpert; April 6, 1931 – December 22, 2019) also known as Baba Ram Dass, was an American spiritual teacher, psychologist, and author. His best known book, Be Here Now (1971), has been described as "seminal", and helped popularize Eastern spirituality and yoga with the baby boomer generation in the West. He authored or co-authored twelve more books on spirituality over the next four decades, including Grist for the Mill (1977), How Can I Help? (1985), and Polishing the Mirror (2013). However, many people are inspired by his raw and inspiring lectures / speeches, which is what we aim to archive and to bring to a whole new generation! His wisdom is truly timeless.
