A Journey Into Nobodyness
What does it mean to become nobody? Jamie speaks with Noah and Raghu about Ram Dass’ teachings around becoming nobody and what those teachings mean to them on a personal level.
“Ram Dass talks during the film about living in two places. There are two places to be awake at once. The loving and kind one that is watching and the ego that is in the meldrama. Most people live thier whole life with just the ego and the melodrama, thinking that is everything. But when you are in the one that is just watching, it is much less personalized. The part that is loving presence in you is also that part of loving presence that is me. All of our loving presence is one thing.” – Jamie Catto
