| Ecstatic States |
|
Michael Domeyko Rowland interviewed Ram Dass in this video production by
John Coroneos about the nature of ecstatic states. The video is interspersed
with footage of traditional rituals and ecstatic practices in India. Ram Dass talks about his work with powerful spiritual tools--with teachers like Maharajji (Neem Karoli Baba--Ram Dass' Guru) and Swami Muktananda, entheogens like psilocybin, mushrooms and LSD, and energy systems like the chakras and kundalini---and about their capacity to expand our definitions of human consciousness.
"Excellently produced and directed, Ecstatic States is an engrossing
reminder that there are dimensions of reality always open to us in the
here and now to which we need only bring the awareness that is
available to us all the time - once we tune into it.
(Note: "Ecstatic States," released just this year, was filmed in 1996.)
