Synopsis
"We're talking about metamorphosis We're talking about going from a caterpillar to a butterfly We're talking about how to become a butterfly." In March 1961, Professor Richard Alpert - later renamed Ram Dass - held appointments in four departments at Harvard University. He published books, drove a Mercedes and regularly vacationed in the Caribbean. By most societal standards, he had achieved great success... And yet he couldn't escape the feeling that something was missing. Psilocybin and LSD changed that. During a period of experimentation, Alpert peeled away each layer of his identity, disassociating from himself as a professor, a social cosmopolite, and lastly, as a physical being. Fear turned into exaltation upon the realization that at his truest, he was just his inner-self: a luminous being that he could trust indefinitely and love infinitely. And thus, a spiritual journey commenced. Alpert headed to India where his guru renamed him Baba Ram Dass - "servant of God." He was introduced to mindful breathing exercises, hatha yoga, and Eastern philosophy. If he found himself reminiscing or planning, he was reminded to "Be Here Now . " He started upon the path of enlightenment, and has been journeying along it ever since. Be Here Now is a vehicle for sharing the true message, and a guide to self-determination. With over 150 pages of metaphysical illustrations, practical advice on how to implement a yogic regiment, and a chapter dedicated to quotes and book recommendations, Be Here Now is sure to enrich your emotional, physical, and spiritual life., Beloved guru Ram Dass tells the story of his spiritual awakening and gives you the tools to take control of your life in this "counterculture bible" ( The New York Times ) featuring powerful guidance on yoga, meditation, and finding your true self. When Be Here Now was first published in 1971, it filled a deep spiritual emptiness, launched the ongoing mindfulness revolution, and established Ram Dass as perhaps the preeminent seeker of the twentieth century. Just ten years earlier, he was known as Professor Richard Alpert. He held appointments in four departments at Harvard University.

    I picked up a box yesterday at the post office from this seller it was packed to the gills more than described and more than just a value but there was a sincere interest in sharing some really good information and very rarely do you meet sellers like this anymore. I really do wish that you could get more than five stars because this shoulder would be getting 20 Stars.

    Initiation Through Reading Only

    Without doubt, this is an essential reference in the enjoyment of human life. Dr. Alpert found himself in a material rat race and blew himself out of it ..... tossed the suit and began wearing a robe. I've heard of this before.."Baba Naga Sufi" was a top-brain professor from Germany who left it all behind to become the holy man of a small remote village ...the fella who told me of him went to become his student. Upon finding the holy man he presented him with a solid gold Patek Philippe wristwatch (worth about $60,000.USD)...the Baba Naga held it to his ear to hear the ticking, then placed it upon a rock, took another rock and smashed it as my friend looked on in horror. That was his first lesson. This book "Be Here Now" is the ultimate collection of thoughts from here & beyond. This ...

  • The Making of a Guru

    When Dr. Richard Alpert met Neem Karoli Baba in India, he was on his way to becoming a Guru himself. This book was actually an assignment that NKB gave him, and it has had a vast reading over the years. This is my 3rd copy. Dr. Alpert went from using LSD to get his spiritual highs, to finding a permanent high through the science of Meditation. Well worth the read.

  • A Definite Easy Highly Worthwhile Should Read Illustrated Classic

    This book remains a down to earth inspirational classic gently touching the curiosities of that which is the deepest and most beautiful of the human mind. In doing so, it moves with a simplicity and clarity of logic yoked to Ram Dass's verification through experiencing the choices of heart and quiet mind laid out by the greats who have gone before and sit yet in wait today.

  • happy to have this book

    I am replacing a copy I had when this book was first published.....many many years ago that got lost over the years. So happy to have the opportunity to replace it. It is very valuable today, just as it was then.
