I think it was printed on the same kind of paper blotter acid is "printed" on. Yeah, that makes sense. As a psychedelic souvenir, or ticket to the future, this book still rocks. One might say, written by a hippie for a hippie. But hippie or not one will not find the true value of this book without being on a certain stage of a certain journey.
The distinction that makes them the same is perhaps that the hippie will mindlessly accept and the anti-hippie will mindlessly dismiss.

While those who have partaken of that little drop of poison known as acid, likely know an experience more profound than any combination of books can provide them, and will see the value in heeding the story of an unassuming Harvard professor who became disillusioned of the so-called real world and swan-dived into Eastern mysticism.
Ram Dass is wise in his own way of channeling some of that Eastern wisdom into palatable delineations for the Westerner in this sort of how-to book complete with photos, drawings, hippie vernacular, etc. Loses a star for being a bit too certain of certain things.

You must be able to accept that a book can be square in shape and that the story can be delivered as art and not only straight lines of text. And to push you just a bit further, you must be comfortable reading most of the book "sideways", not like a "regular" book..
Some of those very things are what I love about Be Here Now, to read it you must truly Be He It wouldn't be fair to open this book holding on to any preconceived notions about some "hippie counterculture", you might miss the message.
I've had this book for longer than almost every other book on my shelf and I still open it up and grow from the experience. I bought this book in at age 11 to read in secret, then return to the bookstore some days later, for fear of discovery by my fundamentalist Christian father.
I was seduced by the woodblock print on grocery-bag colored paper middle section. It left an indelible impression on me--one that would germinate 30 years later in my face-to-face encounter with Bhagavan Das, a much younger version of whom I first encountered in its pages.
No other book has done more to support the healthy cross-polle I bought this book in at age 11 to read in secret, then return to the bookstore some days later, for fear of discovery by my fundamentalist Christian father. No other book has done more to support the healthy cross-pollenation of East and West. It is the classic text of this genre. Jan 17, D. What a doozy of a book! I found it totally by accident.
This is a one-of-a-kind "trip. This book IS a textual trip. I've never seen another like it. Ram Dass writes a tasty and linear account of his transition from successful doctor Richard Alpert to spiritual explorer Ram Dass. The middle s What a doozy of a book! The middle section takes you out of your head--everything changes.
The book turns, the text spins, but the ideas stay together in a way that, in my case at least, really did seem to dig under the rational part of me and yank up the good stuff; the Atman; the everlasting onion bulb. If you're at all interested in exploration of self, this is probably a necessity.
I'm so glad I found it by accident, and so disappointed I have to return it. I imagine I'll buy it someday. This book is the worst of everything wrong with the "new age" movement and its adherents. Coming from an author who claims that LSD crippled him, a physical impossibility, you know that there is going to have to be a total suspension of disbelief to even approach this book. Even with that, this isn't a book.
This is a collection of platitudes and mindless drivel that appeals only to the mindless and the stoned.

Do not for one second look for an original idea in this piece of trash that is merely a recycled amalgamation of religious and philosophical ideas.
I cannot impress enough upon you how this book will only appeal to someone with a serious impediment to adult thought. View all 4 comments. This is a really cool book. The pictures are based on Hinduism-Buddhism-Christianity-drugs-sex and psychological principles.

The book lastly goes into various exercises your should do daily and other helpful tidbits to make your life more pleasurable. I enjoyed this book and look at it regularly. The truth is that while the introductory biographical stuff is interesting, and the extensive and somewhat dull guidance at the end is probably useful to people who are less inclined to eye-rolling at some of the content, the real meat of the thing, what people still come to this book for, the fancy-design-groovy-as-hell heart of the book, which I assume is the original pamphlet, is actually worth checking out.
Man, it's fun to flip through. And stare at.

And it contains some real wisdom that no amount of eye-rolly irony can simply dismiss. I am not inclined to agree with everything here, or even most of what is here, but the thing is just way too interesting a document to just ignore. This is from before alternative religious thought in the West became all pastel and insane; it's when Western self-proclaimed saddhus used to just give it to you straight, all the shit about having to die to this world to be reborn into enlightenment, when they'd talk about death and the darkness and light of the universe without sugarcoating it.
If you haven't read this, and for some reason are interested in reading what the first man in the 20th century to get fired from a tenure-track position at Harvard for feeding psilocybin mushrooms to undergrads then devote to a guru in India has to offer as an introduction to a particularly psychologically-driven version of Eastern religious thought, married with some Perennialist tendencies and even stuff about how Christ is plenty groovy and the Bible's a real trip, too man , but all in the context of a very 60s outlook, then you should probably read this.
All that said, you could probably dismiss a lot of this with just a line or two from Blake. Apr 15, Drkow rated it did not like it. I am an indian-american who has done extensive reading on ancient indian philosophy, spirituality, and mysticism.
I admire the works of many spiritual gurus and authors of all spiritual traditions, both indian and non-indian. A friend of mine gifted me this book. I know Ram Dass has a big following in the west, especially among the baby boomer generation.
I see him as espousing the "free sex with reckless abandon" mentality. Unfortunately, I feel he misrepresents and defiles many indian teachi I am an indian-american who has done extensive reading on ancient indian philosophy, spirituality, and mysticism.
Unfortunately, I feel he misrepresents and defiles many indian teachings tremendously, especially teachings regarding sexual issues. Sure, hinduism treats sex as a normal part of life instead of making it taboo, but for hindus, sex represents the longing for union with the divine.
Initially, we search for it outside of ourselves, in a partner. This is meant to evolve into finding this fulfillment through union with the divinity within ourselves, so that we are whole as a person and have more to offer any relationships we have in life. To treat "free sex" as the end point is spiritual immaturity.
I'm not saying one must be a 'prude' but there's so much more to life than just sex. I sincerely feel that teachers like Ram Dass can be dangerous. Tinsel glitters brighter than gold so be wary of the low-hanging fruit. Instead of answering everything for you, the ideal guru has you turn inward to search for answers from the well of divine inspiration that dwells within each one of us. One more point: "Kama Sutra" merely means "Principle of Lust" so you can say it's a book but to say it is hinduism is like saying a 'Masters and Johnsons' book is Christianity.
Please forgive me if I have offended anyone. These are my thoughts but the decision belongs to you. This book, like some others I shall review, possess not only the opinions, thought and methodology of one man, but takes the tradition of many religions and 'revealed truths' and quotes them here.
I think it is perhaps necessary to the western mind to see that the perceived contradictions and esoteric leanings of 'eastern' thought can be understood by the connectedness and similarities to other ideas and words from other religions and philosophies and thinkers. This book, like many of the books of eastern thought of its kind, can be taken in small sips.
For me, this is my preferred mode of mental ingestion. Such truths, deep and profound as the essence of the human experience itself, must be held on the tongue for a while to taste its fullness.
The middle of the book, with drawings by Ram Das, are full of imagination and humor. Sometimes the humor makes me want to cry from happiness, and some makes me giggle like a kid.
Any book that can balance profoundity and humor has achieved a rare and beautiful harmony. I decided to read this book after seeing that Steve Jobs had cited it as a profound book that transformed him and many of friends. Within a few pages, I realized that it was definitely not for me. The book dives deep into spirituality, but was too extreme for my tastes. It is entertaining and thought provoking in parts, but far too often I would read statements that were off-putting, like "one is capable of living on light alone" and "you should be able to remember your zip code even as you drif I decided to read this book after seeing that Steve Jobs had cited it as a profound book that transformed him and many of friends.
It is entertaining and thought provoking in parts, but far too often I would read statements that were off-putting, like "one is capable of living on light alone" and "you should be able to remember your zip code even as you drift in intergalactic ecstasy". This book may resonate more with people who are deep on the spiritual path. Maybe one day I'll come back to it.
For now though, I was better off not reading it. When you are ready to expand your mind, pick this up Goodbye Dr. Richard Alpert, Harvard Psychology professor. Not only were the ideas within this page softcover book made of recycled materials a shock to the religious nervous system o Goodbye Dr. Not only were the ideas within this page softcover book made of recycled materials a shock to the religious nervous system of the American mainstream, but the very format was a mystery all its own.
Part autobiography, part Occidental psychology, part hippie philosophy, part Indian mysticism, part comic book, one was left to wonder if the text was meant to be read in the conventional manner, or somehow absorbed by simply chanting the contents out loud. Truly a piece of 20th century American spiritual history that should be experienced by all.
I really appreciate the concept of living in the now. I truely believe that if we can find happiness now, our life will not be filled with regret. I did feel like the book was very disjointed, and that the message would have probablly have been better portrayed if the author had not done quite so much LSD on the path to spiritual enlightenment, but nonethelass, the message is a good one.
The illustrations are beautiful in a very trippy way. Overall, I am glad to have read the book. View all 3 comments. Mar 10, Sitanshu Kumar rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites , spirituality. I came to know that people like me are called hippies.
Going spiritual. You can't finish this book because it meant to be read bit by bit for a lifetime. I am speechless after receiving this manifestation. Truly Life-changing for me. Certainly brings back memories of when I first found and read it. Harvard University professor turns yogi after taking multiple doses of LSD and mushrooms. This book, supposedly, determined Steve Jobs go to Asia. The first part of the book tells us about his journey. The second part is full of hand-written aphorisms and sketches.
The final part presents a step-by-step guide to enlightenment. The book raises multiple questions: 1 the issue of drugs and psychedelics, 2 professors are not always skeptical and purely rational 3 one can radically change his life Harvard University professor turns yogi after taking multiple doses of LSD and mushrooms. The book raises multiple questions: 1 the issue of drugs and psychedelics, 2 professors are not always skeptical and purely rational 3 one can radically change his life, and there is a method to it.
Both LSD and meditation seem to show glimpses of higher reality, but one path is faster and has more adverse effects. When you take shortcuts you get issues, as you carry the luggage of the lower reality where it does not belong. On the other hand, if you follow the proper but longer way, based on meditation and living a correct life, you could get there clean.
