The talks in A Workshop with Rama and Rama Live in LA are transcripts of the live audio recordings, including Rama’s question-and-answer sessions with the audience.

While presenting the greatest truths of conscious awareness and spiritual discovery, Rama does a terrific amount of ad-libbing, inventing voices and characters, telling little side-stories, and keeping the audience in a nearly constant state of laughter.

Here are some samples.

Consciousness Expansion & Desire

“The world is constantly imprinting us. It’s imprinting us with ideas, beliefs, vibrational forms, all kinds of things. And the imprinting is so constant and so powerful, that it’s necessary for us to allow Eternity to imprint ourselves in a slightly different way. So when we have one of these moments, the longer we can meditate upon it, the longer we can keep it in our cumulative consciousness, the stronger in a sense it will become. Because the moment is not really a moment. Rather, it’s an entrance into another plane of reality, and that plane of reality is always available.”

Cosmic Awareness

“Cosmic awareness is the realization that we’re light. That each one of us is light. As we progress in our inundation with light, as we make friends with light, and we come to know it better, we come to know our substance and our essence, then we find that we’re not really separate beings of light.”

Reincarnation and the Tibetan Rebirth Process

“So the Tibetan Rebirth Process, essentially, is the transition from the human phase into the supra-human. It’s the transition that you will make when you go beyond the human fields of attention into the supraconscious and move through the various stages of enlightenment.”

“And it’s possible to do that within a given lifetime. To do something uncommon in existence. And that’s to go off the map. What’s out there? Who knows, it can’t be described. But that’s the journey of existence."

Tantric Mysticism and Meditation

“Tantric mysticism is the networking of spiritual practices. Tantric mysticism, in shorthand, is living in the world and attaining enlightenment.”

“Meditation is the process of becoming conscious of the part of ourselves that knows everything. Meditation is a bridge, between the awareness that we have now, and infinite awareness.”

Seeing, Dreaming and Places of Power

“That’s the Tibetan way. The Tibetan Secret Doctrine approach. The idea is that the secret doctrine is not something you hide, it’s simply most people won’t understand it.

“It’s like the “sorcerer’s explanation” in Castaneda. It’s a magnificent piece of knowledge which people will hear, but they won’t know what you’re talking about. They’ll just hear the words, they won’t see the realities. So I don’t think it’s such a bad system after all.

“God knows what She’s doing.”
