In this episode of the Mindrolling Podcast, Raghu Markus and David Block discuss:

• Music and mantras
• The transactional nature of the world and noticing our interconnection
• David’s relationship with Ram Dass
• Serving others instead of self-obsession
• David’s process of creating a track for the Love Serve Remember Vinyl
• Complete attention as the greatest gift you can offer another
• The beauty of being in the moment instead of analyzing the moment
• Welcoming our struggles and accepting our inner demons
• How being silent will lead us to presence and changes in perspective
• Reminding ourselves of the mantra “I am loving awareness”

“There was no Richard Alpert and no Ram Dass; we were just in this wonderful pool of molecular interconnection. And all I felt was, ‘How can you help me’. It was all about me. Nobody had paid that kind of attention. Do you know how important that is? Paying attention to somebody? It is paramount generosity.” – Raghu Markus
