Ram Dass just died yesterday. He was a spiritual teacher and was important to many people. He taught things like meditation. You can google him to find out more.

, Ram Dass was a Harvard professor who researched LSD in collaboration with Timothy Leary in 1961. In 1963, Alpert and Leary were dismissed from Harvard due to the controversial nature of their research https://www.newsweek.com/ram-dass-in...-death-1478812

I had to watch every movie ever made at one point in my life & I noticed that the entire world went completely insane during the 60's due to LSD & drug use, & it never recovered. Every movie made since the 60's was just insane gibberish produced by mentally & morally deficient people who had completely lost touch with real life.

So drugs, with the help of Ram Das, destroyed the world & made it into a mental asylum.

It's a truth that appears in many traditions, as well as literature such as The Wizard of Oz.

Ram Dass had an interesting life story.

Lean back, maybe sip and/or smoke something, and turn up those speakers a tad.

Ram Dass: " The object of our love is love itself''

This I know profoundly. How very very true.

A little known factoid is that Wayne Dyer and his estate took care of him in Hawaii,
financially, after his '97 stroke.
2 wonderful men, indeed.

Ram Dass was a 80's punk band formed from the members of Ram Jam and Das Dass. Search for quotes in their wretched lyrics.
