"For my spiritual work I had to hear what Alan Watts used to say to me:
'Ram Dass, God is these forms. God isn’t just formless. You’re too
addicted to formlessness.' I had to learn that - I had to honor my
incarnation. I’ve got to honor what it means to be a man, a Jew, an
American, a member of the world, a member of the ecological community,
all of it.
I have to figure out how to do that—how to be in my family, how to honor
my father. All of that is part of it. That is the way I come to God,
acknowledging my uniqueness. That’s an interesting turn-about in a way.
That brings spiritual people back into the world."
