Hotel | www.reunionhotelandwellness.com Retreats | www.reunionexperience.org This episode of Here and Now is from a Q&A session at an event in Boise, Idaho in April 1993. Ram Dass begins with questions about dealing with people who might not like you, what his current passions in life are, and the art of staying in the present moment. Ram Dass moves on to inquiries about hesitating when action feels needed, making the transition from somebody to nobody, and the limits of Carl Jung’s work with mythic archetypes. Finally, Ram Dass answers questions about dealing with polarization and turmoil in the world, offers his personal feelings about organized religion, and explores the creative force of the universe. He ends with a brief guided meditation centered around awareness and compassion for those who are suffering. “There is a process where, when you get out of the way, the whole creative force of the universe keeps expressing itself through the way you walk, talk, dance, paint, write, whatever your thing is.” – Ram Dass
