Summary

As featured in the Ram Dass documentary film Becoming Nobody, five essential live teaching sessions on audio, presented here in their entirety

"The game is not about becoming somebody, it’s about becoming nobody." (Ram Dass)

If you’re a spiritual explorer of any age or tradition, chances are you’ve heard of Ram Dass. This singular luminary began his “somebody training” as Richard Alpert - the 1960’s Harvard-psychologist-turned-hippie who tripped with Timothy Leary, befriended beat poets and Tibetan lamas, found his lifelong guru in India, and wrote the perennial classic Be Here Now.

That’s the “somebody” part of his story. But for those who’ve experienced Ram Dass live as he shares his insights and personal journey on the way to becoming nobody - he has been for many the spark that ignited them to the liberating truth of who we really are.

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.

A nice listen

Ram Dass is a good speaker and a charismatic character. Some of the references and stories he tells are a little impenetrable for me now in 2022 but very on brand for what I imagine of the 60 and 70s.

It was not as life changing for me as some others might find it. But it was a nice listen, clever, funny and powerful at times.

Worth a listen

You are not your mind or body

A fantastic reminder of the above. I love affirmations however this book brought me home to remember that I am not my name, age, occupation or family and I can always return to that place whenever I need it. All we ever really need can be found within.

Listening to Ram Dass in Dec 2019

Thank You Ram Dass, you were literally telling me how to Become Nobody as I read the news you had left yours behind. Deepest gratitude for all the light you have shone into our hearts. May your compassionate soul shine even brighter and your voice live on. Big respect and much love Jane x

Beautiful eloquence and clarity

I love the beautiful eloquence and clarity that Ram Dass offers in his teachings through amusing anecdotes and poignant personal experiences.
His stories take you on a journey through highs and lows. Some tears of gladness some tears of sadness, with cosmic truths that resonate deeply.
