Ram Dass , também conhecido como Baba Ram Dass, foi um professor espiritual, guru da yoga moderna, psicólogo e escritor estadunidense. Seu best-selling é uma obra de 1971, Be Here Now, que foi descrita por vários revisores como "seminal" e ajudou a popularizar a filosofia oriental no Ocidente. Ele foi autor ou co-autor de mais doze livros sobre espiritualidade nas quatro décadas seguintes, incluindo Grist for the Mill , How Can I Help? e Polishing the Mirror .

Dass era amigo pessoal e profissional de Timothy Leary, da Universidade Harvard, no início dos anos 1960. Até então conhecido como Richard Alpert, ele conduziu pesquisas com Leary sobre os efeitos terapêuticos de drogas psicodélicas. Além disso, auxiliou o estudante de pós-graduação Walter Pahnke, da Harvard Divinity School, em seu "Experimento da Sexta-feira Santa" em 1962 com estudantes de teologia, experiência reconhecida como o primeiro estudo científico controlado e duplo-cego sobre drogas e misticismo. Embora não fosse ilegal na época, sua pesquisa foi controversa e levou à demissão de Leary e Alpert de Harvard em 1963.

Em 1967, Alpert viajou para a Índia e se tornou discípulo do guru Neem Karoli Baba, que lhe deu o nome de Ram Dass . Nos anos seguintes, fundou as organizações de caridade Seva Foundation e Hanuman Foundation. Ele viajou extensivamente dando palestras e retiros e realizando campanhas de arrecadação de fundos para causas de caridade nas décadas de 1970, 80 e 90. Em 1997, teve um derrame que o deixou com paralisia e afasia de Broca. Em seguida, ele passou a interpretar este evento como um ato de graça, aprendendo a falar novamente e continuando a ensinar e escrever livros. Depois de ficar gravemente doente durante uma viagem à Índia em 2004, ele desistiu de viajar e se mudou para Maui, no Havaí, onde realizou retiros anuais com outros professores espirituais até sua morte em 2019.

Be Here Now (1971)

“We had a Negro psychiatrist, Madison Presnell, working with us, and I had been trained to be a very liberal person about Negroes, which meant that you didn't have feelings. It was a phony kind of liberal thing. I went out of my way to be liberal. You know, that very self-conscious kind of equality. And Madison and I turned on together and I looked at Madison, and there we were, the same human beings. It was just that he was wearing that skin and I was wearing this skin. And it was no more or less than that. It was that shirt and this shirt and it had no more relevance than that. And I looked at that, and suddenly there we were, whereas before I had been so busy with my super-liberal reaction to color of skin, that I couldn't relax enough to share this unitive place.”

And he'd say, "Don't think about the past. Just be here now."
Silence.
And I'd say, "How long do you think we're going to be on this trip?"
And he'd say, "Don't think about the future. Just be here now."

Be Here Now (1971)

“We had gotten over the feeling that one experience was going to make you enlightened forever. We saw that it wasn't going to be that simple.
And for five years I dealt with the matter of "coming down."”

Ram Dass livro Be Here Now

The coming down matter is what led me to the next chapter of this drama. Because after six years, I realized that no matter how ingenious my experimental designs were, and how high I got, I came down.
At one point I took five people and we locked ourselves in a building for three weeks and we took 400 micrograms of LSD every four hours. That is 2400 micrograms of LSD a day, which sounds fancy, but after your fist dose, you build a tolerance; there's a refractory period. We finally were just drinking out of the bottle, because it didn't seem to matter anymore. We'd just stay at a plateau. We were very high. What happened in those three weeks in that house, no one would ever believe, including us. And at the end of the three weeks, we walked out of the house and within a few days, we came down!
And it was a terribly frustrating experience, as if you came into the kingdom of heaven and you saw how it all was and you felt these new states of awareness, and then you got cast out again.
Be Here Now (1971)

“I thought at that moment, Wow, I've got it made. I'm just a new beautiful being — I'm just an inner self — all I'll ever need to do is look inside and I'll know what to do and I can always trust it, and here I'll be forever.”

Ram Dass livro Be Here Now

But two or three days later I was talking about the whole thing in the past tense. I was talking about how I "experienced" this thing, because I was back being that anxiety-neurotic, in a slightly milder form, but still, my old personality was sneaking back up on me.
