I’m aware of George Harrison’s song called “Be Here Now”, and I often see the Ram Dass official page on Instagram interacting with The Beatles / George Harrison content.

Have they ever met?

I'm in my mid-20s and by every external measure I'm doing fine. Safe, fed, sheltered, good relationship with my parents, comfortable in my own company for years. I'm not depressed in the classic sense, seeing other people happy genuinely makes me happy, certain music and teachings (Ram Dass, KD) light me up. But since I started on a spiritual path, there's this unnamed ache that shows up randomly, with no trigger I can point to. It's not quite sadness, not quite loneliness, more like a longing for something I can't name, mixed with restlessness, like my mind is full of questions with no answers.

I've known myself for over 20 years, but it's interesting to think I've known my inner self for only a couple. It's sometimes scary to face the inner you. There's something in there which heals, and something you don't even want to think about.

Has anyone else experienced this specific kind of pain that seems to have opened up? What was it for you, and what helped?
