Product Description
From Amazon
It's easy to dismiss Be Here Now as the relic of a whacked-out '60s acid tripper. Paging through the center section of the book, with its inch-high print and psychedelic drawings, you come across lines like:
Magic TheatreThen you turn to the first page of the book, and you are suddenly sucked into the story of a Harvard psychiatrist who has reached the pinnacle of success, discovers the mind-expanding powers of acid, and ends up trooping through India with a 23-year-old holy man from Laguna Beach, California. In the story, you see all the trappings of your own life and begin to wonder if India might hold the answers after all. Before booking your ticket, turn to the last section of the Be Here Now, "Cookbook for a Sacred Life." Ram Dass saves you the trouble by proffering a sober introduction to the basics of Hindu religion. Although he still can't resist CAPITAL LETTERS, he has done his homework, presenting a whole range of concepts and practices having to do with yoga postures, meditation, renunciation, dying, and sexual energy. So, for the most part, Be Here Now stands the test of time, and if you can entertain the center section in a retro kind of a spirit, it might be just what you're looking for: "The opposite of craving is saying, baby, this is the way it is, yeah, OK, here and now, this is it. I ACCEPT THE HERE & NOW FULLY." --Brian Bruya

Change books,
This review is from: Be Here Now (Paperback)
Like Undoing Yourself, by Hyatt, this one is a classic that redefines what a book should look like and do for the reader. Its structure and design are created to magically imprint the book's message in a way that is striking and memorable. The content proves refreshing and cutting edge.With so many forces of brainwashing all around us, it is invigorating to encounter a truly revolutionary work that transforms its readers so profoundly. This fun-loving but challenging enlightenment is delivered in a highly unique form. Enjoy!

peace,
By omnikua "omnikua5" (Austin, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Be Here Now (Paperback)
This book changed my life. I have read tons and tons of spiritual books, but this one really changed me. I have read this book over and over and the message seems to change as the readers development changes. If I could only have one book to choose it would be this one. It explores the writer's path first, then gives a great illustrated tale that lingers in the mind...,goes on with spiritual quotes from all spiritual leaders that we have ever known, gives some info on stretching,and etc. This book calls for those who are ready. How much do you want to let the ego go, is the real question here...now...

I first read this book in the 70's and have since re-read it many times. The book is a timeless compendium of information to be treasured by anyone on a spiritual path. It really did change my life.
