Ram Dass on Somebodyness

I think that the confusion is feeling that you have to come into a situation with a somebody-ness, that you then have to get everybody to reassure you of it, and that this is all in order for you to feel safe in a situation.

More and more, I find I can walk into a situation, walk up to somebody, and have no idea who I am or what I’m doing there, and allow their minds to define my reality, without getting caught in it.

-Ram Dass, The Dissolution of Somebodyness
