Ram Dass Here And Now
The Power of Grieving
I don't have a word I use or a phrase I continuously are using just something to remind me okay like Rama or Wau or Aah. But the word is usually a name of God and I keep changing the names all the time because God has no name so I will do it through all different religious traditions and so on. And you've entered into love real love with another human being. The power of that leads your personality to be very attached to that because they're your connection to that feeling of love. Once a grieving process which is trying to recreate a hold or grab or bring back runs its course and it sometimes takes years to run its course.

There start to be moments where there's a little space in the whole situation where you've opened sufficiently to the grief to be quiet in a moment and you feel the strange sense of the your back in the love in the presence of the whole thing again not in the presence of the person but in the presence of what the essence was that you had together and it takes the quietness that comes after the grieving when the grieving quiet is down enough because the grieving is so loud all the time of I'm busy missing the person I want them the way they were that you don't get often quiet enough to hear that the thing that was the essence of it hasn't gone anywhere it's still right there all the time and once you tune in on that then the person is free to do whatever they need to do they can go on but understanding that there really isn't time on other planes in the way there is here so it's not
