The Only Dance There Is by Ram Dass

The Only Dance There Is by Ram Dass

This book is based on talks by Ram Dass at the Menninger Foundation in 1970 and at the Spring Grove Hospital in Maryland in 1972. The text grew out of the interaction between Ram Dass and the spiritual seekers in attendance at these talks. The result of this unique exchange is a useful guide for understanding the nature of consciousness--useful both to other spiritual seekers and to formally trained psychologists. It is also a celebration of the Dance of Life--which, in the words of Ram Dass, is the only dance there is.

Ram Dass visited India for the first time in 1967. Dr. Richard Alpert, an acclaimed Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary, was still Dr. Richard Alpert. He had continued his psychedelic study until his fatal journey to India in 1967. He met his teacher in India, Neem Karoli Baba, also known as Maharajji, who gave him the name Ram Dass, which means servant of God. Everything changed at that point: he began his intense dharmic existence, and he became a crucial figure in a culture that has been reverberating with the words Be Here Now ever since. Ram Dass's spirit has been resurrected.
