About this listen

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.

Ram Das

Is too deep for those who are beginning their journey of transformation or even for some who are with it for a while. Becoming Nobody is visceral, compelling, and totally thrilling. An advanced look into transcendence. A wonderful read, but a better listen.

On 2nd lap through

Excellent. I finished it...and rewound to the beginning to listen again. It’s such a gift that it Ram Dass himself speaking (note - these are recorded lectures, not him reading a book)

Transformational

This work by ramdas does not disappoint. He gently deals with fear of death, integration of suffering, and healing, in a very special way.

Mind blown! A Duh purchase!

I’m mean seriously! I was a pastor for 10 years and Ram is part of the reason I’m... well am. If you’ve ever felt like a wtf is this reality before. Let him soothe you with some real existential comfort. 🔥👁🔥

You’ll never do better than this

Richard Alpert aka Ram Dass, truly used his time on earth well, and for the benefit of others. Personally I’ve been struggling with the loss of one whom we are never supposed to see go before we do, for a long time now. I’m no stranger to Dass. Yet one 30” fragment of chapter 5 knocked me and my suffering on my a**, and my perspective is significantly changed. Every word of this is helpful. Peace.

I am

I am all of it— and I accept it all. I understand there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, nothing to do, nothing to hold too. And so I can simple be here now, as I am…with non judgment, love, trust, & peace. Thank you Ram Dass!
