For my spiritual work I had to hear what Alan Watts used to say to me:
"Ram Dass, God is these forms. God isn't just formless. You're too
addicted to formlessness."
I had to learn that I had to honor my incarnation. I've got to honor what it means to be a man, a Jew, an American, a member of the world, a member of the ecological community, all of it. I have to figure out how to do that - how to be in my family, how to honor my father. All of that is part of it. That is the way I come to God, acknowledging my uniqueness. That's an interesting turn-about in a way. That brings spiritual people back into the world.
