Name: Ram Dass - Here & Now - Ep. 30 - Risk Being Human by Be Here Now Network
Duration: 55 min
Description: What we offer each other is our truth, which includes all of our “stuff.” We have to allow ourselves to be human. The way to the truth is through acknowledging the fullness of where we find ourselves to be, which is through our humanity and our divinity.

Borrowing from tomorrow is an eerie dark sweetness translated into contemporary reinterpretations of Tezeta without being to stubborn about its lineage. Here we pursue not the understanding of this feeling rather the expression of real emotions all the while staying beautifully committed to groove. 
This mix is dedicated to the complexity of emotions and the limitations of language. This abstraction, can find solace in being expressed through music. Sweet pain, a burning kiss goodbye, dreaming of home. Mostly this mix is influenced by the Ethiopian Tezeta, a musical attempt to describe this feeling.

Tracks: 
Papa Chango - The Lost Moon of Bellaris
Shogun Orchestra - The River of Sanzu
Akalé Wube - Kidus a Cent Dix
Compro Oro - Greetings from the Colony
The Sorcerers - Beneath the City of the Monkey God
Nomade Orquestea - Vênus
Noori and his Dorpa Band - Jagana

The title of the mix comes from the Text of Mahmoud Ahmed’s 1974 song Tezeta: 

Tinan’tenan t’so, zaren tentereso 
Kenegem teweso, amna’nem adeso 
Yemetal tizita gwazun agbesbeso

Outdoing yesterday, shouldering on today, 
Borrowing from tomorrow, renewing yesteryears, 
Comes tizita (memory) hauling possessions

Ram Dass – Here and Now – Ep. 02 – Journey to the East

Still residing in India, Raghu and another Canadian go to meet Maharaji, who gave him a feeling of being home for the first time and showed him unconditional love. Meanwhile Ram Dass continues his spiritual evolution and learns the meaning of “renunciation of desire” and explores different vehicles to get to and maintain a place of pure oneness.

Ram Dass also discusses polarities and how they relate to karma and unattachment. Truthfulness is the most profound quality for Westerners to understand, because it is the one they struggle with the most.

When the heart is totally open and truthful, there is no risk or vulnerability at all.
