Summary

This book which we've been working on for the last four years is called the The Movie of Me to the Movie of We. Everyone has a "Movie of Me" that they firmly believe in. As Krishna Das says, "You wake up in the morning, and you are the star, producer, writer, director, and cinematographer of the Movie of Me 24/7." In fact, we write our own reviews! That constant self-referential point of view leads to daily angst and unhappiness. In this book, we discuss and share ways to transform what the Buddhists call 'self-cherishing' into a deep connectivity with all of life itself.

It takes real work. This isn't just, I'm sick of it, so I'm suddenly going to transform. Many factors contribute to building habitual patterns, neurotic tendencies, and existing conditions because of parents, teachers, and society.

Our investigation has manifested in the form of wonderful chats where we use our lives as examples to illustrate our propensity to delude ourselves. We see our self-interested motivations clearly through Mindfulness and learn how to transform our pain, isolation, and separation. We felt that we had to make some kind of offering to humanity using ourselves as examples and our great teachers to light the way. What's wonderful about being a condensed mass of neurosis, defense mechanisms, and self-defeating habits, is the moment you glimpse that it's just a game you are playing with the infinite.

The infinite is the fabric of love, caring, compassion, and kindness we all connect to with each other. Forget about enlightenment. What can we do for each other? Look at what is going on in the world right now. It's about connection. That wonderful moment of satori, just essence, 'being here now,' as Ram Dass called it, is synonymous with connection and inter-being. It is apparent when we transform our obsession with the mini "me."

None of this would've been possible without the guiding rudder of wisdom and heartfulness from Ram Dass and the grace filled presence of Neem Karoli Baba. It has everything to do with the fun we had hanging out with each other. Hence, The Movie of Me to the Movie of We.

It's about Love

It's really good conversations and I love them both. Sometimes it's too preachy, but just right amount to make a point. it's really conforting listen to two speakers and definitely more engaging than one. It helps just to listen.

Beautiful amalgamation of spiritual conversations

Duncan’s refreshing imagination and Raghu’s stoic wisdom are brought to a whole bunch of fabulously juicy intellectual conversations about tapping into awakening whilst also highlighting how us humans are constantly chasing our tiny little tail of awareness.

Simplicity, honesty and Love.

Thank you for this book. It has been a great teaching and a way to learn, without actively trying to learn something.

The authors have candid, open and raw, revealing conversations on where they are on their journeys, their past experiences of joys and pains and they approach it all with a questioning innocence, which feels wonderfully odd, because they are both so obviously experienced in spiritual matters and well ahead of wherever I'll ever reach.

This was a very enjoyable listen, with lots of moments of deep contemplation, introspection, laughter and reflection. I've really enjoyed this title and it has inspired me to look further into related authors, but more importantly, to look more into myself, and where I am right now.

It helped me when I didn’t know I needed help.

It’s beautiful and worth listening to.
It’s not a book but a compilation of conversations from over the years.

Thank you!

Thank you so much Raghu and Duncan for sharing these conversations. The way you’ve carried the message through with raw honesty and comedy has helped me digest that same message on a deeper than ever. So much love for you both! I will be listening to this again and again, it brings me a lot of comfort and joy! xx
