He held appointments in four departments at Harvard University. He published books, drove a Mercedes and regularly vacationed in the Caribbean. By most societal standards, he had achieved great success. . . . And yet he couldn’t escape the feeling that something was missing. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePsilocybin and LSD changed that. During a period of experimentation, Alpert peeled away each layer of his identity, disassociating from himself as a professor, a social cosmopolite, and lastly, as a physical being. Fear turned into exaltation upon the realization that at his truest, he was just his inner-self: a luminous being that he could trust indefinitely and love infinitely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd thus, a spiritual journey commenced. Alpert headed to India where his guru renamed him Baba Ram Dass—“servant of God.” He was introduced to mindful breathing exercises, hatha yoga, and Eastern philosophy. If he found himself reminiscing or planning, he was reminded to “Be Here Now.” He started upon the path of enlightenment, and has been journeying along it ever since.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBe Here Now\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a vehicle for sharing the true message, and a guide to self-determination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Lovers BD","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":55451870003491,"sku":null,"price":460.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":55451870036259,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":55451870069027,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/5872\/2083\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_b5c9881a-f080-4865-8e43-e8d37d32fff0.jpg?v=1786342440","url":"https:\/\/www.bookloversbd.shop\/products\/be-here-now-by-ram-dass","provider":"Book Lovers BD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
