About this listen

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.

In the process of all the day to day suffering and self thought and the things that I personally go through and am currently going through, there always seems to be a topic these two cover, whether it be in podcasts or now in audiobook form, that is exactly what I’m dealing with and it helps me tremendously. It feels as if I’m having a conversation with myself, working through turmoil as a collective. Thank you Duncan and thank you Raghu for this brilliant piece of literature, for sharing so much of yourselves with the world, and being so completely truly honest with us and yourselves. It means the world to us.

Always exactly what I need when I most need it

I've been into Ram Dass for a few years now, and this was wonderful to hear, Ragu and Duncan, whom I've grown to know separately via different podcasts share their profound experiences through a lens that my being can see through clearly. I loved it. It felt like they were exclusively talking to me at times. Which, since we are all one, in a way, they were.

Love everyone, and tell the truth.

hearing basically a ten hour podcast episode of Duncan Trussell and Raghu Markus talk about their "story of me" and dive deep into how we can push past that idea to be apart of a greater story of we was truly enlightening and I'm grateful for the experience. also as one of my first times hearing Ram Dass i can only say i appreciate hearing him in this audiobook and appreciate the people who came together to give me this opportunity to listen to such a beautiful piece of work. will be coming back to listen again.

an incredibly beautiful piece of media
