More about the book

Words of Wisdom distills five decades of Ram Dass’s life, showcasing powerful quotes from his core teachings. Known for his heart-to-heart transmission, Ram Dass began as Richard Alpert, a Harvard professor and early psychedelic experimenter. His soul-expanding journeys led him to articulate transcendent experiences with the intuitive understanding of a true inner-voyager. Even before recognizing that psychedelics weren't the ultimate path to enlightenment, he prioritized cultivating a shared heart space with his patients and friends over the clinical aspects of psychedelia. This anthology compiles hundreds of lectures and hours of audio and video recordings, capturing his essential teachings. It celebrates the spark that ignited the flame of grace and Loving Awareness in countless hearts. By the end of his life, Ram Dass had become a true conduit for soul connection, serving as a leader in spirituality, psychology, and psychedelia. His work fused these elements, embodying a purposeful intention of love and joy throughout his teachings in both institutional and public realms.
