Conscious Aging

On the Nature of Change and Facing Death

De: Ram Dass

Narrado por: Ram Dass

Open Your Heart to a Life Filled with Abundance, Free of the Fear of Death
Conscious Aging is an unforgettable learning session with Ram Dass, the former Harvard professor whose teachings about love, compassion, and sacrifice have received international acclaim. On this live recording, Ram Dass brings into focus one of the great issues of our day: the fear of aging and death.
Carefully examining both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions, he offers wisdom tempered with reality. His point—when you lose your fear of death, you gain a love for life—holds profound meaning for the young and old. Here is a spiritual discussion about moving beyond our youth-fixated culture, to a place where we can see clearly that the final years of life can be just as creative and fulfilling as the early years.
Conscious Aging is a masterwork that will speak to you personally about living each day with an open heart, knowing that the most incredible stage of your experience has yet to come.

Awakening

Ram Dass is a unique being with a unique and third eye opening message. Anyone afraid of the concept of death should embrace his message of love, openness and awareness.

THE Best Ever

There will be no greater influence in my life than Ram Dass. This is him at his best, in his prime talking about a subject that should be important to anybody who is over the age of 40 and who feels compelled to prepare for the journey of aging. This material is simply a gift from God…

loved it.

This was wonderful, I loved it, I am going to listen to it again. this has changed the way I feel.

Awe inspiring!

What made the experience of listening to Conscious Aging the most enjoyable?

Conscious Aging is an unbelievable journey which has touched my mind, my heart and my spirit. Ram Dass is funny, irreverent, full of insight, down to earth and truly inspiring to the point of actually changing the way I think of myself and my ailments. I have been ill recently and listening to this book has actually lifted my spirits and made me change the way I think of aging. Truly awesome!!!

What did you like best about this story?

The frankness of Dass' speech, yet so eloquent.

Which scene was your favorite?

How he relates poetry and literature into his speech and uses different cultural references to make a point.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The part about how we approach dying was difficult, yet very helpful in seing things in a different light. Dass grabs our fear of dying by the horns and cradles it with meaningful insight that makes the fear less intense, and for lack of a better word, less scary.

Any additional comments?

I will listen to this speech many more times to absorb all the nuances of his insight.

Ram Dass on ageing and death

I have always found Ram Dass very endearing. He is funny, smart, willing to admit his own weaknesses, direct, gentle, and helpful. I found this book satisfying, and will listen to it many times to try to keep the eternal perspective he talks about. You would probably have to be on some kind of spiritual path, or at least be open to talk about souls to get through it, of course. Hearing him age gracefully and with his humor intact is inspiring to me, and I recommend this book to people who fear ageing and death.
