trees grasses water sun stars moon clouds rain all are our friends are us nature embraces us and we embrace nature we are nature we are the trees and the clouds and the waters when you hug a tree you’re hugging yourself we are human beings, human beings are part of nature when you’re seeing the ocean, or the lake, or the river you’re seeing yourself nature is a manifestation of god and that manifestation is love all the way
2.	Dark Thoughts 03:39	lyrics	buy track
when you witness a dark thought a dark thought that isn’t going to get you anywhere you witness it and love it you love your dark thoughts remember the witness is part of the soul and the soul loves everything every thing not every being, but every thing loves the clouds and the trees and the fish and the animals and that love coalesces the universe the oneness of the universe is love

our karma is our mind and the mind stands in the way of a clear view of god our minds give us clouded perceptions individualism leads to war and anger and insecurity and fear our karma is our mind and the mind stands in the way of a clear view of god our minds give us clouded perceptions
4.	I Am Loving Awareness (feat. Krishna Das) 10:04	lyrics	buy track
we have to get out of our minds our thinking minds i’ll tell you how i do it by using a mantra or phrase i am loving awareness loving awareness is a name, for soul ,which you really are leads you to love everything you are aware of the sky, the room, your body, other people and then i ride the mantra into my heart and in my heart i see a doorway, or a veil to the next plane soul land i am loving awareness
5.	Please Pass The Bliss 02:50	lyrics	buy track
the soul takes birth take incarnation to learn our perception, of the soul is love love love love love you love fellow souls i love, things i love my pain my wheelchair i love you all i love the whole universe we love everyone by inhabiting the soul

In June 2018, East Forest was invited to Ram Dass’ home in Maui to join in conversation and record brand new teachings from the legendary teacher. After capturing these words of wisdom, East Forest returned to his studio in the high desert of Southern Utah to compose the soundtrack to beautifully support each songs’ subject. In these new recordings, Ram Dass’ words speak masterfully to the modern challenges that so many face with technology, dark thoughts, the nature of soul and so much more. The new East Forest record also features guest appearances from the likes of Trevor Hall and Grammy nominated artist, Krishna Das, all framing Ram Dass’ teachings with contemporary voices and cementing the 87 year old spiritual teacher into an echelon of relevancy and immediacy — offering a direct antidote for a highly polarized nation that is deeply in need of a universal voice of wisdom, connection and unconditional love.

EAST FOREST x RAM DASS, releasing in four "Chapters" throughout 2019, culminating in a full-length album on August 9, 2019.
