Publisher's Summary

As featured in the Ram Dass documentary film Becoming Nobody, five essential live teaching sessions on audio, presented here in their entirety

"The game is not about becoming somebody, it’s about becoming nobody." (Ram Dass)

If you’re a spiritual explorer of any age or tradition, chances are you’ve heard of Ram Dass. This singular luminary began his “somebody training” as Richard Alpert - the 1960’s Harvard-psychologist-turned-hippie who tripped with Timothy Leary, befriended beat poets and Tibetan lamas, found his lifelong guru in India, and wrote the perennial classic Be Here Now.

That’s the “somebody” part of his story. But for those who’ve experienced Ram Dass live as he shares his insights and personal journey on the way to becoming nobody - he has been for many the spark that ignited them to the liberating truth of who we really are.

This audio collection brings us five essential sessions, featured in the Ram Dass documentary film Becoming Nobody, presented here in their entirety. Each beautifully illuminates a core dimension of Ram Dass’s wisdom. Through teaching stories, true accounts, eye-opening revelations, and his one-of-a-kind sense of humor, this legendary teacher helps show us the way out of the prison of our self-identity - and into the joy of being at once “nobody” and the universal divine at play in the world.

Incredible

Until last week I’d never heard of Ram Dass, but in perfect timing this title made its way into my awareness.

If I was reading this in text, I would have had to highlight every word and dog-ear every page. Superb.

This man is captivating, hilarious, timeless, and a humble spiritual guide. I look forward to returning to this title for many years to come.

What a gift he leaves us with at the end of this book. What a gift for this familiar stranger to reach into the hearts and souls of generations to come, granting peace, love, and light.

Surprising

I really enjoyed the energy of Ram Das,l! At first I was surprised it was a live take and not a book being read from. Then somehow I found that vibe for his teachings to be somehow more powerful. I am grateful to have /heard it. the tone and messages are really genuine and there's endless wisdom contained within this "book"

Jesus is the *only* way

I used to LOVE this book. Then I discovered the overwhelming evidence for God/Jesus. I deleted this book and haven’t looked back. After becoming a follower of Jesus, my life is 1,000x better. I have never felt the peace I feel now, being in harmony with the true creator of the universe. The love, patience, peace, goodness I feel is indescribable.

Our eternal lives are at stake. Ram Dass will make you feel better for your lifetime here on earth. But the bible is what matters regarding your *eternity*.

Before you hit this with a thumbs down (haha), check out Lee Strobel’s book (a case for Christ and a case for a creator). I promise you, you won’t regret your decision.

Impressionnant !

Je ne m’attendais pas à une telle lecture ou plutôt audio..

Une classe à part dans la littérature de l’éveil.

Savourez tôt simplement.

Cette écoute en vaut la peine

Ram Dass “kicks ass”

Just love him
So wonderful to tap in his consciousness even if he is not on this plane, listening to audible books read by himself makes it even more available to feel his cosmic presence
