Ram Dass (born Richard Alpert; April 6, 1931 – December 22, 2019), also known as Baba Ram Dass, was an American spiritual teacher, guru of modern yoga, psychologist, and writer. His best-selling 1971 book Be Here Now, which has been described by multiple reviewers as “seminal”, helped popularize Eastern spirituality and yoga in the West. He authored or co-authored twelve more books on spirituality over the next four decades, including Grist for the Mill (1977), How Can I Help? (1985), and Polishing the Mirror (2013).
Ram Dass was personally and professionally associated with Timothy Leary at Harvard University in the early 1960s. Then known as Richard Alpert, he conducted research with Leary on the therapeutic effects of psychedelic drugs. In addition, Alpert assisted Harvard Divinity School graduate student Walter Pahnke in his 1962 “Good Friday Experiment” with theology students, the first controlled, double-blind study of drugs and the mystical experience. While not illegal at the time, their research was controversial and led to Leary’s and Alpert’s dismissal from Harvard in 1963.
In 1967, Alpert traveled to India and became a disciple of Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba who gave him the name Ram Dass, meaning “Servant of Ram,” but usually rendered as simply “Servant of God” for western audiences. In the coming years, he founded the charitable organizations Seva Foundation and Hanuman Foundation. He traveled extensively giving talks and retreats and holding fundraisers for charitable causes in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. In 1997, he had a stroke which left him with paralysis and expressive aphasia. He eventually grew to interpret this event as an act of grace, learning to speak again and continuing to teach and write books. After becoming seriously ill during a trip to India in 2004, he gave up traveling and moved to Maui, Hawaii, where he hosted annual retreats with other spiritual teachers until his death in 2019.
no, thank you!
I think a big part of what he's saying is, you don't have to focus on negative thoughts
“Being addicted to not being addicted is as bad as being addicted itself”
I’m in multiple 12 step programs. I agree with his sentiment. I don’t follow the cult of hedonism and I also don’t follow the cult of sobriety either.
Anyone care to know how to process your emotions quickly and/or activate your pre frontal cortex (which controls our higher functioning behaviors)? I think figured out how to do it on command
I'm 22 days clean after 8 months trying to get clean and I feel great. However, I am now drinking energy drinks one after another for absolutely no physical reaction, just a difficulty letting go of/fear/need to consume… I don't know? I do agree that my situation/isolation etc accelerated my addiction and struggle with this concept that I was born an addict.
Thx I needed this and keep up the amazing work 😁🙏🏻❤
Thanks. 😁😁😁😁
That was very cool and positive ! Thank you very much!🙏🏻🤙🏻

I'm waiting to go to a native treatment program that is 90 days in the wilderness, completely in the bush. After the 90 days there is an option to stay for up to a year. I really hope I get accepted! I like listening to stuff like this.
Please do more afteskool episodes around addiction and mental health. Love to share these videos with those who are hurting💚
The root cause is feeling good.
hhmmm "just old karma running off" I've never thought of it that way….
Love this ❤
this is spot on….
Love this ❤
So he stops the cycle by stopping at the "I'm bad" phase, the beating yourself up after the bad habit. He does that by saying how poignant, basically "listening to himself", like another part of him. Instead he just doing anything concrete, after noticing the unuseful overthinking. Another point was that you avoid things with addiction, and replacing one addiction with another, even getting addicted to being not addicted.
