A Tale of Two Gurus Part Two

In this episode, Morgan takes Norm along the path of how Richard Alpert became Ram Dass. They explore the guru experience and how Ram Dass and his spiritual satsang championed causes that are common now, like hospice care and aging with awareness. They cover how a twist of nature humbled him and led him to the most expansive time in life as an older man. How a man goes from searching for enlightenment in tabs of acid to dying beloved in Hawaii. It is the journey of a seeker who found what he was looking for and in doing so, made going on a trip of spiritual enlightenment to India forever a cliche. Sources & Further Reading:Dass, Ram.
