Story
We are in the midst of a powerful psychedelic renaissance. After four decades of hibernation, the promise of the psychoactive 60s - that deeper self-awareness, achieved through reality-bending substances and practices, will lead to greater external harmony - is again gaining a major following. The signs are everywhere, from the influence of today's preeminent psychedelic thinker Daniel Pinchbeck, to the renewed interest in the legacy of Terence McKenna, and to the upsurge of collective cultural phenomena like the spectacle of Burning Man.

Story
This audio collection brings us five essential sessions, featured in the Ram Dass documentary film Becoming Nobody, presented here in their entirety. Each beautifully illuminates a core dimension of Ram Dass’s wisdom. Through teaching stories, true accounts, eye-opening revelations, and his one-of-a-kind sense of humor, this legendary teacher helps show us the way out of the prison of our self-identity - and into the joy of being at once “nobody” and the universal divine at play in the world.

Sometimes illumination occurs spontaneously or, as Ram Dass experienced, in a cosmic moment of the heart opening.

The Bhagavad Gita is a gem so precious in India's spiritual treasury that many regard it not as a volume of sacred verse, but as a living manifestation of the Divine. In the summer of 1974, inside a balmy Boulder, Colorado, warehouse that served as a main hall of a fledgling Naropa Institute, some say a minor miracle occured: the reawakening of the Gita's living presence, as it unfolded in a series of wisdom teachings led by Ram Dass.

"What would it be like to see all as one?" Alan Watts asks. "We hear about attaining great states of consciousness. But the only way to have a real transformation is to stop thinking about it - and simply experience it." From the 1950s to the 1970s, this seminal teacher sparked the West's love for Eastern wisdom. Now, in these rare recorded gems, he inspires a new generation of inner explorers seeking deeper insights into meditation - its myriad forms, how they work, and what happens when we practice them.

In this book of key spiritual teachings from unpublished discourses, the great Advaita Master, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, teaches us that we are not limited to the body. Because of our mistaken body identity, we feel separate from what we truly are. Our identification with the body and mind subjects us to endless cycles of pleasure and pain, desire and fear, which cause us to search beyond ourselves for that which we believe we lack.

Excellent but...

Summary
Here are two programs from one of the world’s most influential contemporary spiritual teachers, now available in digital audio.
In "Part One: Finding and Exploring your Spiritual Path", Ram Dass speaks from the heart, with wisdom gained from a lifetime spent on the path to enlightenment, about the often rocky yet profoundly transforming road to living the spiritual life. With personal anecdotes and commentary, he illuminates a wide variety of ancient and contemporary philosophies, drawing from such sources as the Buddha, Russian philosopher Gurdjieff, Mahatma Ghandi, and many others. Here is down-to-earth advice for those on the path to spiritual fulfillment, including the pleasures and pitfalls you will encounter en route, the value and potential dangers of teachers and gurus, and the importance of following your intuitive heart.
In "Part Two: Journey of Awakening", Ram Dass focuses on the moments crucial to the serious seeker of the spiritual path. Meditation is an essential part of that practice. Why meditate? To live in the moment. To dwell in the harmony of things. To awaken. Those moments in your life when there is an openness, a spacious quality to your existence—those are the moments that truly make life remarkable.

Good teachings, but...
What did you like best about A Spiritual Journey? What did you like least?
I got about 1/3 of the way though... It was good in the sense of message, but it wasn't really a book... It was more of something you would find on YouTube. Wasn't much of a story, more like an edited compilation of Ram Dass speaking his life ideas and experiences into his personal recorder.
Would you be willing to try another one of Ram Dass’s performances?
An actually book yes!

Vintage Ram Dass
Would you listen to A Spiritual Journey again? Why?
Yes, I learned so much from it and would listen to it again and again.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Spiritual Journey?
I can't quote it verbatim but it resonated so much when he said we should pick up whatever good we can from all the different teachings for our own personal liberation and from there move on and not be too attached to any group/teacher/faith. This has been my philosophy for a long time. I have a deep suspicion that my Mom who left her body several years ago is now the one guiding me in spirit, and eventually leading me to the writings of Ram Dass.
He is very informative, clear and very gentle with his advice and explanations, nothing is forced down your throat. He is a real guru and I pray to God that he will stay will us for a long, long time for there are still millions of lives to be touched.
Have you listened to any of Ram Dass’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, they are both outstanding but when he speaks to a live audience, it is doubly enlightening and entertaining especially when he tells jokes and laughs. It is just so endearing.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I couldn't put my ipod down!!!
Any additional comments?
As I said before, spread his message and I wish you would add more books to your collection.
