SoulPod General Satsang – Episode #281 – Across the Decades: Love & the Path of the Heart

Now, if you look at in the sense that, in the usual way of, ‘I fell in love with this person,’ there’s another way of seeing that, which is this person is a stimulus, is something in the world that was just right in a key sense to release us into the place in ourselves where we are love. And we say, as a result, ‘I am in love with you.’ Another way of saying it is, ‘You turn me on to the place in myself where I am love, where I can’t get to without you.’ Now we’re talking about you being my connection to that place in myself where I am love, where I can’t get without you. And then I want to hold on to my connection, just as any good junkie would like to do.

– Ram Dass

Dear SoulPod Family,

Our next Ram Dass SoulPod gathering is this Tuesday, and we’ll be diving into a timeless and tender theme: love as the path of the heart. In this special episode, we journey across five decades of Ram Dass’ teachings—through psychedelic revelations, spiritual devotion, and the everyday practice of loving without conditions.

In this special episode, we follow Ram Dass across five decades exploring love as a spiritual path:

• 💖 1969: Falling into a “bathtub of love” after LSD and meeting Meher Baba
• 💞 1979: The heart path opens endlessly—love without a place to hold on
• 💔 1986: From scarcity to abundance—letting go of conditional love
• 🔄 1990s: Addicted to methods—how even love practices become traps
• 🧡 2017: Loving everything, even our judgments

We’ll meet on Tuesday, July 15th at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET for an open-hearted Soul Pod discussion.
No prep necessary—just listen to the episode ahead of time and come as you are.

General Fellowship Mission Statement

The general fellowship is dedicated to building community and connections around the teachings of Ram Dass and Maharaji. It provides opportunities to gather together – virtually and in person – to share our experiences, inspirations, curiosities, and wisdom, recognizing that we are all on the path of learning together. We use the space to celebrate and consciously practice the teachings – loving each other exactly as we are, sharing our authenticity and truth with kindness, remembering God is always here and present, and feeding each other, as we are all hungry for something and we all have something to give. We meditate and chant together, listen to Ram Dass lectures, and discuss as a group.
Everyone is welcome.
