Ram Dass
I didn't find this book
until the mid-80s, long after it was released and making a positive
impact on the world. It didn't change my life in a flash or create any
huge, instant insight. Rather, Be Here Now has had a slow and
growing influence on me.
Sometimes I go straight
to the yoga exercises and work the routine for a day or a week or a
month, always to good effect.
Often I treat it as an
oracle and just let it open where it will and let that wisdom inform my
day. Sometimes, like this morning, I have to let it open a second time
to get words that resonate, like: What calming the mind is all
about... is to cool you out so you RE-MEMBER...
Occasionally it makes
no sense to me at all, which always (yes, always) means I'm caught up in
self. But, just the fact that I've opened it at all is a step in the
right direction.
This is one of those
books that's a true keeper and some of the profits are still going to
good works.
Ram Dass has his own website now - you'll find t-shirts, tapes
and other useful information there
5 coffee cups for sure
on this one.
