Yes.
The best self-help book I ever read, and the one that helped me when I really needed, was “Full Catastophe Living, by Jon Kabatt-Zinn It was essentially a tutorial on how live in each moment by exercising mindfulness. I think I’ve read it 3 times now.
Kabatt-Zin later wrote a book, “Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life.” Not as good, not much to offer but, if I remember correctly he attributed the title to Ram Dass.
He’s There Now...
His famous book was “Be There Now”
I grew up in the 60’s.
Never heard of this guy.
Maybe it’s true. If you remember the 60’s you weren’t there.
(But honestly, I don’t think I HAVE ever heard of him. And I’ve never done a drug or smoked pot in my life.)
Richard Alpert, Jewish kid from Boston.
I wonder if he has a Jewish funeral.
That’s what I thought; he was doing LSD 75? We only got LSD 25. Damn, his trips were three times better than mine!
I never heard of him...
Of course, I wasn’t “enlightened” back in those days...I was in the military...
Friend of Timothy Leary. I thought he died a few years ago.
Another proponent of the “Tune in, turn on and drop out” school of thought. Burn in Hell Ram.
You're not far from the truth. He was a homosexual.
Years ago, I laughed myself silly when first reading about this homo guru named "Rammed Ass".
He dropped the Baba because he said that title incorrectly elevated him to an attainment he hadn’t achieved.
Ram Dass isn’t exactly “dead”. He is probably just reincarnated into a dung beetle.
Yes, same guy. Baba means something akin to “father” as one would call a priest “father”.
I read
Abbey Hoffmans
“Steal This Book!”
.
Rammed Ass,,
Rest in,,,
Whatever.
Beloved by whom. This guy was a hot mess
Have you ever read Mark Twain?
“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
You've misspelled the word. The correct spelling is "disciples." The original posting was correct. You were wrong.

I don’t know that he was a Satanist. I don’t think so.
