Blurb
An essential balm for these tumultuous times, this thoughtful and inspiring guide features newly gathered teachings to abandon the idea there is an "other," bridging differences and cherishing our lives in the world, from beloved spiritual leader Ram Dass.
With the world seeming to teeter between democracy and authoritarianism, between humanitarianism and individualism, Ram Dass's teachings on wholeness and unity are more needed than ever.
There Is No Other is a groundbreaking work showcasing the late spiritual leader's thoughts and insights on broaching the divide and bringing disparate souls together. In these profound, newly gathered writings, Ram Dass shows us how a house divided against itself---whether that "house" is our individual self or the society in which we live---can come together in wholeness. There is no "other," he explains. It is all one.
Structured in three sections, There Is No Other teaches us to open ourselves, come together in community, and love one another---and ourselves---across all our seeming contradictions and divisions. Anne Lamott contributes a beautiful foreword and each section is followed by a short essay reflecting on the endurance of Ram Dass's ideas penned by Sharon Salzberg, Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield, and Mirabai Bush, as well as guided meditations to deepen each lesson.
As he leads us toward wholeness within our unique selves and as a human community, Ram Dass gives us the most precious gift: hope. Only in seeing ourselves in our complexity can we come together and honor our incarnations on the sacred planet we inhabit.
Biography (Ram Dass)
Ram Dass, der ursprünglich Richard Alpert hieß, war Professor für Psychologie in Harvard, ehe er 1963 wegen seiner Experimente mit psychedelischen Drogen entlassen wurde. Er machte sich auf nach Indien, um einen neuen spirituellen Weg zu beschreiten. Sein Guru, der indische Weisheitslehrer Maharaj Ji, gab ihm den Namen Ram Dass, was Diener Gottes bedeutet. 1971 schilderte Ram Dass unter dem Titel "Be Here Now" seine Wandlung vom "neurotischen jüdischen Streber" zum "Jogi im weißen Gewand". Das Buch wurde ein Bestseller. In den achtziger Jahren gründete er die Hanuman- und Seva-Stiftungen. Er arbeitete mit Sterbenden und Obdachlosen und engagierte sich in der Umweltbewegung. Heute lebt er in Tiburon im Norden Kaliforniens.
