Ram Dass - Richard Adpert was a colleague of Timothy Leary at Harvard University, from which both were fired in 1963. After Harvard, they settled in Millbrook in upstate New York, where they conducted “countercultural research.” In 1966, Alpert, a masterful psychedelic psychologist, traveled to India. He returned as a Western yogi named Ram Dass and soon became a pioneer of Eastern spirituality in the West. The book of teachings of Ram Dass is a means of calming the mind, opening the heart and entering into unity. It offers practical ways to be here and now. Think of this book as a guide to the road to nowhere (the here and now), an instruction manual for finding that precious sense of inner peace and spiritual reconnection. The methods are simple. The path is thinly outlined. And we are so close - just a thought away!
