Being High with Love & Ram Dass

and finding acceptance seeing things as they are

Well, here I AM. I wasn’t going to mint a photo of me as an NFT - until I realized I was indeed on Anml #038 — The synchronicity of being 38 years old (on 9-11) seemed like a definite confirmation. I am an artist, but I am also a work of art, ever changing. Captured with my iphone on an airplane, high with Ram Dass.Now available on Dartroom for 330 Algo

Yesterday, I spent much of my day being high with Ram Dass.

I was in the sky, flying from Cancun to Boise, Idaho with a layover in Denver — on my way to reunite with my oldest son, who had spent the last two weeks with my parents.

I had been blessed with a lovely three-day trip to Cancun with my wife. Brooke had earned an all-expenses-paid trip through her Scout & Cellar clean-crafted wine® consulting business. I’m certainly grateful for the all-inclusive experience, abundant with wonderful food, drink, and beautiful people. It was a needed respite from the work of building our tiny home while living in a tiny airstream with our three kids without a kitchen.

Short as the trip was, Brooke and I were able to spend some time building our Behere business together, Zooming with our wonderful guides and crunching some numbers.

But mostly, Cancun was indeed A PARTY. Fighting for our right to party (yes, Beastie Boys) during Karoake with a live-band in the beautiful amphitheater was certainly one of the highlights for me. It was good fun : )

But three days was just about right. With so much to be done, I was feeling anxious to get productive, and was ready to rise above the intoxicated vibes of an all-inclusive resort. I had planned to do more writing on the plane, but the charge on my laptop would not let it be. So I took the opportunity to finish listening to Being Ram Dass, an audiobook journey I started just a few weeks ago.

The book is a wonderful view into the life of Ram Dass, his exploration of psychadelics, and the loving guru who had such a profound influence on so many people. Absorbing the stories of Neem Karoli Baba, more commonly called Maharaj-ji, can be an elevating experience all it’s own. The book would be Ram Dass’s last work, before he passed on to the next stage on December 22, 2019 (the winter solstice).

As I sat on the plane, contemplating Ram Dass’s words, (read by Rameshwar Dass) I was seeking to really see things as they are. Not with any rose-coloring, attachments, or expectations. You likely know by now how filled with ambition I can be, and also how devastating the disappointment of living in this world often is. I experience the duality of this earth-plane in quite a fullness. At times isolated, lonely, and discontented with my achievements. At other times, basking in the blessings that money cannot buy, and only God can give.

Mingling with the words of Ram Dass in my head were the predictions of Aldous Huxley (the future is now, shared on Robert Malone’s substack). His predictions of a dystopian march away from freedom and towards control have panned out to be remarkably accurate. When I look at how man has treated this planet, and how many remain complaint with slavery in the constant march towards entertainment, intoxication, escapism, and the voluntary wearing of slave muzzles all around me in Globalist-controlled airports — hopelessness has a way of striking my soul. But I’m learning to be okay with it. Hope is not something I want to be leaning on as a crutch. I’m willing to see it exactly as it is — and there is just so much that I do not know.

I can only be me, no matter who is pulling the strings on global affairs. The simplicity of my singular option to just be me, no matter what is occurring beyond me, became a comfort. At least, through all the trials I’ve experienced (particularly since Feb 2019), I’ve been able to dig deeper into what I value, and step closer towards fulfilling whatever final destination this incarnation of me is marching towards.

One of the values I have perhaps suppressed, through all the turmoil and division of the past few years, is love. ❤️ You all know how much I dislike tyranny and compliance with it, have spoken out against it, and been triggered by those who have attempted to force my compliance — but Ram Dass description of the love of his guru was enough to awaken some love within me, even for the slow ones. On the airplane, I practiced loving muzzled people, and found myself more than capable. I know that anger and division is not the solution.

I want to live in a world with more love. And disappointed as I may feel at times about the state of human intelligence on this planet - I know that the disappointment only exist because of attachments I’ve had. I’m doing my best to let go of them.

I want to live in a world with more love, more intelligence, more synchronicity, and a whole lot less compliance with malevolent tyranny. At least now I have a singular clarity to BRING IT.

I sense that Ram Dass was correct about his insight about the two-way street of feeling love for the world, and being loved by it. I feel ready to open up with love, and will be leaving hope behind. Being the change, with love, is truly the only solution. ❤️

Thanks for reading 🙏. Ta-ta for now.
