Overview

Be Here Now, or Remember, Be Here Now, is a 1971 book on spirituality, yoga, and meditation by the American yogi and spiritual teacher Ram Dass (born Richard Alpert). The core book was first printed in 1970 as From Bindu to Ojas and its current title comes from a statement his guide, Bhagavan Das, made during Ram Dass's journeys in India. The cover features a mandala incorporating the title, a chair, radial lines, and the word "Remember" repeated four times. Be Here Now has been described by multiple reviewers as "seminal", and helped popularize Eastern spirituality and yoga with the baby boomer generation in the West. Summary The book is divided into four sections: Journey: The Transformation: Dr. Richard Alpert, Ph.D., into Baba Ram Dass From Bindu to Ojas: The Core Book Cookbook for a Sacred Life: A Manual for Conscious Being Painted Cakes (Do Not Satisfy Hunger): Books The first section is a short autobiography, describing Alpert's successes as a psychologist, his research with Timothy Leary into psychedelics at Harvard, and his subsequent anxiety when this research did not resolve his spiritual questions. He then describes his first journey to India and his initiation into a Guru-chela relationship with Neem Karoli Baba, and spiritual renaming as "Baba Ram Dass", or "servant of god". Ram Dass closes the first section of the book with this passage:

Notable quotes

“I help people as a way to work on myself, and I work on myself to help people… To me, that’s what the emerging game is all about.”
— As quoted in "Baba Ram Dass in the realm of Visionary Artist Martina Hoffmann: in the end there’s only one spirit and one humanness", by yeye, at Elephant Journal (9 October 2010)
“I learned more in the six or seven hours of this experience than I had learned in all my years as a psychologist.”
— (quoting Timothy Leary's description of the Psilocybin experience).
“It would be best not to impose a model too soon, because the model that exists in the west for these states is pathological, and the model that exists in the primitive cultures is mystical and religious.”
— (quoting Timothy Leary's description of the Psilocybin experience).
