Product Description

    Telling his story in “three chapters,” Ram Dass explains how he moved from the structured academic world to wide-open experiences with psychedelics (and Timothy Leary). This thirst for knowledge led him to India, where he encountered a man who taught him to “just be here now.”
    Ram Dass shares with us how we can all attain a state of well-being. The result is that we’ll become more centered, and we’ll learn to see the God in each other, which ultimately leads to an overwhelming sense of oneness with, and love for, our fellow humans.
    As Ram Dass says, “We’re all the same . . . and here we all are.”
Includes the bonus CD, Be Here Now, which features music from

About the Author
In the late 1960s, Ram Dass helped shaped the awakening consciousness of an entire generation with his bestseller, Be Here Now. After spending the next two years with his guru in India, Ram Dass lectured throughout the world, dedicating himself to the service of others. He recorded Here We All Are, which reflects the transformation of Dr. Richard Alpert to Ram Dass, after his first trip to India in 1969.

Superb talk by Ram Dass5
This is a CD-format copy of a live talk (talks?) by Ram Dass previously available on audio cassette. The quality of the sound is erratic but the content still comes across clearly. Worth listening to over and over again.

Entertaining and profound4
This audio-CD contains a more than 2 h. long lecture from Ram Dass (aka dr. Richard Albert), just returned from India and sharing his newfound enthusiasm for meditation and service with an appreciative audience. And telling the story of his life from succesful young professor over his psychedelic days with Timothy Leary and others to his meeting with his guru Neem Karoli Baba. More importantly he also gives a comprehensive view over the different spiritual paths, showing his deep understanding of Indian/Eastern ways.

Unlike many others from the sixties Ram Dass has stayed true his whole life to his insights and his guru, standing like George Harrison or Stanislav Grof as symbols of the enduring influence of the East and of a succesful combination of meditation and psychedelics.

As always Ram Dass' lecture is both witty and profound, but there's not really much new here, nothing he hasn't told somewhere else in his varied work as writer.

The bonus-CD contains mantras and songs (kirtan) from his "Be Here Now"-tour, obviously directly transfered from a rather worn-out LP-copy. But it's moving and beautiful, complete with coughing, campfire guitar and crying babies, and touching the heart. But a very far cry indeed from todays musically challenging kirtan and mantrapop releases, by artists like Krishna Das, Jai Uttal (both also Neem karoli-disciples), Deva Premal, Rasa, Snatam Kaur to name just a few of the more artistically and commercially succesful.

I'm grateful this release came my way, and can recommend it to everyone interested in eastern spirituality and in psychedelics, and as an introduction to the beautiful world of Ram Dass. But I doubt it's something I will hear very often.
