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.

Sometimes illumination occurs spontaneously or, as Ram Dass experienced, in a cosmic moment of the heart opening.

The Bhagavad Gita is a gem so precious in India's spiritual treasury that many regard it not as a volume of sacred verse, but as a living manifestation of the Divine. In the summer of 1974, inside a balmy Boulder, Colorado, warehouse that served as a main hall of a fledgling Naropa Institute, some say a minor miracle occured: The reawakening of the Gita's living presence, as it unfolded in a series of wisdom teachings led by Ram Dass.

Publisher's Summary
Ram Dass tells here, for the first time, the full arc of his remarkable life.
Perhaps no other teacher has sparked the fires of as many spiritual seekers in the West as Ram Dass. If you've ever embraced the phrase “be here now”, practiced meditation or yoga, tried psychedelics, or supported anyone in a hospice, prison, or homeless center - then the story of Ram Dass is also part of your story.
From his birth in 1931 to his luminous later years, Ram Dass saw his life as just one incarnation of many. This memoir puts us in the passenger seat with the one-time Harvard psychologist and lifelong risk-taker Richard Alpert, who loved to take friends on wild rides on his Harley and test nearly every boundary - inner or outer - that came his way.
Here, Ram Dass shares his life’s odyssey in intimate detail: how he struggled with issues of self-identity and sexuality in his youth, pioneered psychedelic research, and opened the doorways to Eastern spiritual practices. In 1967 he trekked to India and met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba. He returned with a perspective on spirituality and psychology that changed millions.
Populated by a cast of luminaries ranging from Timothy Leary to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Allen Ginsberg to Sharon Salzberg, Aldous Huxley to Alan Watts - this intimate memoir chronicles the cultural and spiritual transformations Ram Dass experienced that resonate with us to this day, a journey from the mind to the heart, from the ego to the soul.
Before, after, and along these waypoints, listeners will encounter many other adventures and revelations - each ringing with the potential to awaken the universal, loving divine that links us to this beloved teacher and all of us to each other.

A beautiful book that illuminates a great soul
This book added so much dimension to the persona of Ram Dass for me. As an enthusiastic listener of his talks, I'll now hear them with so much more dimensionality, knowing the details of his incredible mortal existence and personal transformation.

satisfies the mind and heart
... from the Soul's perspective. Gives details about events and relationships for sure, but it's greatest energy is from the heart. I'll listen to the final chapters probably many times: my heart is full.
Many thanks to you Rameshwar Das, for instigating this, creating it and now for reading it to us. We hear in it that your heart was/is full too.
Atma Dharshan! Namaste

Deeply touched
This book touched me very deeply. Usually when I finish an audio book, I move on to the next book immediately. With this book, I find myself not able to move on to the next book immediately. I feel that I have to continue to "savour" and reflect on the book, as it triggered many deep thoughts/feelings within me.

Absorbing
Extraordinary and absorbing. You can lose yourself in this book, in the life of Ram Dass. I was hesitant to listen because it wasn’t narrated by Ram Dass himself - but at a certain point you sink into it and forget that it’s Rameshwar Das speaking. So much wisdom here.
