Story
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.

Story
The Bhagavad Gita is a gem so precious in India's spiritual treasury that many regard it not as a volume of sacred verse, but as a living manifestation of the Divine. In the summer of 1974, inside a balmy Boulder, Colorado, warehouse that served as a main hall of a fledgling Naropa Institute, some say a minor miracle occured: The reawakening of the Gita's living presence, as it unfolded in a series of wisdom teachings led by Ram Dass.

Story
This wondrous tale of cosmic adventure immerses the listener in a world of heroes, gods, and demons. It tells the story of the Lord Rama, the 7th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. At about 50,000 lines the original Ramayana is one of the largest epic poems in history - as well as one of the world's most important literary and spiritual masterpieces. This translation by William Buck makes the ancient text accessible to the modern Western world, while preserving the richness of the original.

Ram Dass on ageing and death
I have always found Ram Dass very endearing. He is funny, smart, willing to admit his own weaknesses, direct, gentle, and helpful. I found this book satisfying, and will listen to it many times to try to keep the eternal perspective he talks about. You would probably have to be on some kind of spiritual path, or at least be open to talk about souls to get through it, of course. Hearing him age gracefully and with his humor intact is inspiring to me, and I recommend this book to people who fear ageing and death.

Great reminder of our physical mortality
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to every body. It is a great reminder that our physical bodies will age and grow old and being trapped in it is a hindrance to our liberation. I still have a long way to go to attain full realization of this but Ram Dass, again, has peeled another layer of insecurity in me.
Who was your favorite character and why?
His letter to the family of the girl that was killed couldn't have been written more eloquently expressed and I saw from the documentary "Fierce Grace" that it greatly helped them deal with the pain of this terrible loss. Things spoken/written from heart to heart has God's grace in it. Peace.
Any additional comments?
Ram Dass, may your "tribe" increase.

Awe inspiring!
What made the experience of listening to Conscious Aging the most enjoyable?
Conscious Aging is an unbelievable journey which has touched my mind, my heart and my spirit. Ram Dass is funny, irreverent, full of insight, down to earth and truly inspiring to the point of actually changing the way I think of myself and my ailments. I have been ill recently and listening to this book has actually lifted my spirits and made me change the way I think of aging. Truly awesome!!!
What did you like best about this story?
The frankness of Dass' speech, yet so eloquent.
Which scene was your favorite?
How he relates poetry and literature into his speech and uses different cultural references to make a point.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The part about how we approach dying was difficult, yet very helpful in seing things in a different light. Dass grabs our fear of dying by the horns and cradles it with meaningful insight that makes the fear less intense, and for lack of a better word, less scary.
Any additional comments?
I will listen to this speech many more times to absorb all the nuances of his insight.

Awakening
Ram Dass is a unique being with a unique and third eye opening message. Anyone afraid of the concept of death should embrace his message of love, openness and awareness.

Really?
The first part of the book starts out with some feel good thoughts but in the last part, this guy uses his history with psychedelic drugs as a basis for his knowledge. Someone should tell you before you buy this book where he gets his foundations.
