If you've read the book or even heard of Ram Dass, you really should check this out. It's a live broadcast from Ram Dass himself! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=128338703904733 If you haven't heard of him and want a good read you should definitely read the book "be here now"

I LOVE that book. I have read it many times. I will have to check this out when I have a chance.
Have you seen the movie "Fierce Grace" it's all about his life and stuff. It's really good. It's one of the few movies that has made me cry like a baby, but in a really good cleansing kind of way. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. It's on Netflix streaming.

Yep, I cried too when I watched that. It's a great movie.

the whole middle section of the book I found kinda confusing the first time through. On further readings it has begun to make more and more sense. I also found I understood it a little better after reading " the power of now" by Tolle. He kinda spells things out in a less symbolic and more straightforward way. Not to say that what he says is better, it was just easier for me to initially understand, and deepened my understanding of "Be Here Now"

I think the best time to read through Be Here Now is either during or right after a psychedelic trip.
I remember the first time I read Be Here Now, I was coming down off a trip and I read through the whole thing pretty much. As I was reading it, it made so much sense, like everything that was written pierced my heart. I had never been so moved by a book before I read it then. I can honestly say that it changed my life as much if not more than psychedelics themselves (then again it's impossible for me to untangle the two really).
It's a great book, seriously, next time you're high on some acid give it a go with an open mind, read it, don't be critical of it while you read it. Take it on faith, with trust (and lsd ), and boom, it opens itself up for you.
All this being said the drugs aren't necessary to understand this book but they do help put you in a higher place which does help you understand this book. You don't really need the drugs to get there necessarily

I wouldn't recommend it during a trip, even on the picture section of the book, because it can contain a lot of words. They're not all simple straight point sentences, and the chaotic nature of them have at times almost upset me because there is an entire page full of text that I can barely comprehend.
Id say read it first sober, then page through it trippin to appreciate the deeper message within the text 
Someone told me to read this while tripping, and if your just tryin to see some groovy art thats cool, but if your trying to pull meaning from the book - Id advise being half way sane for it.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I forgot with all the words that would complicate things a bit. I'll read it sober first, and then go through it again a bit before the comedown with a nice joint.
I actually meant to go pick this book up a good while ago but got sidetracked. I would love to have more books like this to read.
