Be Here Now

Be here now.
Don’t anticipate, don’t yearn for things of the past.
Let the past go with forgiveness
and let the future go with no anticipation.

Each of us contains a being that doesn’t die and a
being that does die.

Everything must change except the soul.

Your preparation for dying is done by identifying with
your soul, not your ego. Identify with your soul now.

There are realms other than the one we are meeting on.
Planes where we see the souls that we have known
in the past as just souls.

We won’t meet them in their clothing of mother or father,
or uncle or aunt.

Then….sensual planes, planes with color, music…
Planes which have no form…
This plane is where all of it starts.
This plane is the womb, the beginning of things.
This plane is ecstatic. It’s the ultimate creativity.

Dying is the most important moment that exists
in any incarnation.

It’s important that you not be so overwhelmed by
the process of dying.

I wish you a process for dying that doesn’t overwhelm you.
I wish you a moment of dying that you can be conscious of.
I wish you a future incarnation in a plane of incredible light.

Ram Dass; "Be Here Now" from Graceful Passages
