Ecstatic States - a Video featuring Ram Dass
After we watched this wonderful video, my partner, who has always been
troubled by how easily people give their power away, said:
"This guy is the first person I've heard explain clearly why anyone would be turned on by a
guru."
Those who are familiar with the inspiring clarity with which Ram Dass
shares himself won't be surprised. What initially appears to be a
biographical documentary is transformed by Michael Domeyko Rowland's
interview questions into a very different journey altogether. We are taken
deep into the realms of expanded awareness, where meditation techniques, the
guru, karma, the distinction between awareness and consciousness, ageing,
miracles, subtle energy body anatomy, and many other features of the
spiritual landscape are clearly described and discussed in the context of
Ram Dass' extraordinary life.
Excellently produced and directed, Ecstatic
States is an engrossing reminder that there are dimensions of reality always
open to us in the here and now to which we need only bring the awareness
that is available to us all the time - once we tune into it.
This is an
empowering video to watch again and again.
