ram dass fierce grace | Year: 2002 Classification: Documentary Directed: - Mickey Lemle Actors/Actresses: - Ram Dass - William Alpert OOOOOMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm Once again Ram Dass leads the way! He is at his most open, his most giving and humbled in this wonderous film of the journey of his life. old home movies, many stories, comments by friends such as Huston Smith, Ralph Metzner, Larry Brilliant, Krishna Das and Bhagavan Das. This film inspires, as does all of Ram Dass' work. <BR>Thank you Ram Dass, Namaste`. i bow to the God within you. Itself a Transmission Never a Ram Dass fan, I saw this film at home and experienced a totally unexpected elevation of thought, mood and outlook. In my early 50's, I have surrendered many of my earlier life beliefs, preferring to live realistically and in concert with the community as it is. This film reached deeply into my core, brought deep tears and a profound softening, compassion for us all on the planetary journey. For anyone feeling distanced from spiritual energy, this is a must see, as it wakes up the best of what we as humans have to offer. Very informative, Interesting & Useful I urge everybody to reexamine Ram Dass, intelligently not stupidly, as a better alternative to the Neo-Christian Taliban, and as an intelligent method to dealing with emotional grifters who've misappropriated his methods. Before I chanced upon this on OPB, I saw Ram Dass books at garage sales and thrift stores all over the west coast. I wish more would get reacquainted with the REAL Ram Dass--he definitely is better than the competition, or the stank his abusers have caused. Now, I always thought Ram Dass was some sort of guru-for-money-60's-guy, but after this, I see not. He's very intellectual, and encourages self-examination, thoughtfulness and kindness.<BR> As with any lifestyle, beware the radical stupid followers. This is the same with any religion. They ruin it for the leader and the rest of society.<BR> I admit that I had to overcome some prejudices against the Ram Dass generation.<BR> The Me-Generation out here has misappropriated Ram Dass's ideas to retool ethics to where everything they do is "enlightened", no matter how narcissistic, abusive and neglectful---and they really mess up other folks around them and their own children. They've turned into no-better than any other religious addiction. In his film, I saw the followers dancing around in awkward and unnatural ways totally alien to Indian culture---but seen every where on the west coast. I call it the Dance-of-Milkfed-Wannabes-Rebelling-Against-Super-Square-Background-But-Still-Clueless-&-Dancing-Like-Windmill. (Indian music and dancing, I've always found to be pleasant and graceful.) So many folks here are overly desperate to be cult followers, and get all glassy-eyed and irrational about the obsession of the month. In the city where I live, you see the exact same hippie dance, where the attention-ho seems to think arm-flailing like a zombie in inappropriate places shows everybody they are enlightened, even though nobody else is dancing, there's too many breakables, and other people looking on in horror & snickering. <BR> <BR> That and watching 20-year-old hippie infants, who've been told by Mommy & Daddy that everything they do is wonderful and natural, sit in cafes, pick their noses and eat it, plus eat with their mouths open & food falling out. I cannot believe that was a kindness by their parents---why would they make the kid so repulsive? Anyway, his stuff is good, it's a good way of thinking, and it's a good way to deal with the abusers of his system or any other system.
