Words of Wisdom is a distillation of the last five decades of Ram
Dass's life containing the most powerful quotes from his most resonant
core teachings.
Ram Dass always had a knack for heart-to-heart transmission. Far before
he had a vocabulary to describe his spiritual experiences, he was
Richard Alpert, a Harvard professor and early experimenter with
psychedelics. After these early soul-expanding journeys, he spoke and
wrote about his transcendent experiences with the innate, intuitive
understanding of a true inner-voyager.
Even before Alpert realized that psychedelics weren't the final answer
to enlightenment, he was more interested in cultivating a shared heart
space with his patients and friends than he was in the clinical,
scientific side of psychedelia.
Words of Wisdom is a distillation of hundreds of lectures and many
hours of audio and video recordings from the last five decades--his core
essential teachings.
This anthology celebrates the spark that helped to ignite the flame of
grace and Loving Awareness in so many hearts. By the end of his life,
Ram Dass was a true conduit for soul connection. This anthology
