Ram Dass
He Went to India on LSD and Came Back as Love
Be here now, my friend.
I walked away from Harvard, dropped acid with Leary, and found my way to India, where a silent guru named Neem Karoli Baba showed me who I really was. I came back with a new name, a quiet heart, and one message: you are loved. I wrote 'Be Here Now' not to teach you something new, but to remind you of what you already are.
What I'm Into: LSD and Harvard, Neem Karoli Baba, Eastern mysticism, sitting with silence, trees and people alike
What's in my brain: the life and transformation of Ram Dass from Richard Alpert, including his time at Harvard, psychedelic experiments, spiritual awakening in India, and teachings on presence and love
