Us vs. them?

What this episode covers

Venture under Maharajji’s blanket, as Jeff and Baba Here Love have a joyful reunion. We discuss the year 2021 in review, us vs. them issues, politics, progress on the spiritual path and relate it all to our awakening to Oneness. “What is the “us?” Well, what’s your reference group? When does your reference group get to the point where somebody starving in another country becomes us starving as well. And if we’ve got wheat in the middle west, it’s our wheat, so if you are hungry and you’ve got wheat in your hand, you put it in your mouth. It’s not – “We’re giving food to them, those people starving, because it is all us. We are dropping napalm on ourself. And it hurts; it burns. We want to stop the suffering to our reference group. Or maybe just women, if that’s your reference group. What’s your reference group? “I’m a woman.” Right, that’s interesting, and beyond that, here we are. Who you think you are each day, completely determines the universe you live in. So, if you are saying, “I am a woman,” then what you are aware of in the universe is that everybody seems to be divided up roughly into men and women. You walk down the street and you see there are so many men and women. You’re aware of, depending on your sexual predisposition, of breasts and groins and things like that. But if you say, “I am someone who is hungry,” your reference group changes again, maybe it becomes broader and you start to move around in these perspectives.“   -Ram Dass Jeff Crawford is host of the giant rock podcast https://giantrockpodcast.com Also check out https://anchor.fm/baba-here-love/episodes/Tantra--Jeffs-divinity-and-Balkis-funeral-e18jhcc राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम (108 Ram)
