A Remembrance and a Gift of His Teachings
Dear friends,
If you're a spiritual explorer of any age, chances are good that you've heard of Ram Dass.
Born Richard Alpert, Ram Dass is known to millions as the stellar young 1960s Harvard-psychologist-turned-hippie
who tripped with Timothy Leary, befriended beat poets and Tibetan
lamas, found his guru Neem Karoli Baba in India, and penned the
perennial classic Be Here Now.
All of that is true . . . but for those of us who've leaned into
his teachings, you know that he was also an extraordinary and beloved
soul who sparked transformation throughout generations.
His teacher, Neem Karoli Baba, revealed the way for him: "Ram Dass, love other people and serve them. That is all."
Brilliant, irreverent, wise, and most of all, unconditionally
loving, Ram Dass lived his life as "an experiment in truth." He helped
the dying, the blind, and the imprisoned, and considered service as
essential as meditation or prayer.
We are all manifestations of the same greater Self, we are meant to
enjoy our roles here on Earth, and our dying is simply a point of
transit. And along our way, as he so often reassured us:
"We're all just walking each other home."
Thank you, Ram Dass, for all that you have shared with us.
