Week 5 of my weekly songwriting challenge: "Love Is On the Rise." 

Love Is On The Rise (Rough)

This week's weekly songwriting challenge. This is a super rough demo, but it gives you an idea of where the song will be heading. I think with some bass and percussion it will be pretty solid. 

Love Me Patiently (Rough)

Lyrics by Countre Black, music by Countre Black and Ben Caron

Let Me Show You My Love (Rough)- Countre Black & Ben Caron

Bittersweet Goodbye (Rough) written by Carl John and Ben Caron

 Ram Dass leads a 35 minute meditation, originally recorded January 1981, in Sydney Australia. 

Ram Dass guides a soma (divine nectar) meditation, focusing on drawing the living spirit in through the breath and body - and releasing the stuff in you that is keeping you from being with the universe: fears, negativity, doubt, inadequacy, anger, loneliness...replenishing your body with healing energy. Release the things you don't need in order to be in the spirit. 

Soma Guided Meditation With Ram Dass

Ram Dass delves into the concept of aging and accepting the inevitability of change in our physical bodies and self images, where can we be in relation to change in a way that doesn't generate fear? 

He explores awakening as a consciousness evolution, accepting life's surprises simply as stages of growth, and not trying to stand on ground that is going to inevitably crumble beneath your feet anyway. 

Ram Dass talks about our "spacesuits," our current incarnations and how to be able to learn to develop acceptance of our roles within society, time and space in order to help fulfill our karmic paths - while not getting caught in them. 

 Exploring different countries and how their cultural moral outlooks differ from those in the United States in regard to the "common good," when are we really helping those in need and when are we simply acting out of our own ego's selfishness? 

Is it better to become a renunciate or to accept all of the "stuff" of the world and integrate it into each situation to awaken? We must honor our incarnations, to be "in the world, but not of the world" - to be in it, but not trapped in it, which we can do by cultivating the emptiness of awareness, to live in the different planes of consciousness simultaneously.

Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.
