In this lecture from 1975 "Stages of a Journey", Ram Dass discusses our journey through plains of consciousness and degrees of fate towards simplicity and quietness - to a kind of joy that is beyond time - a journey where we leave behind all our models of who we are.

Ram Dass asks us to consider the ways in which our culture’s pervading myth of unbridled individualism has generated the destabilizing forces confronting us.
