“Turn on, Tune in, Drop out.” Timothy Leary, the superhero of psychedelic drugs, died in 1996, while one of his partners in consciousness-expansion, Dr. Richard Alpert, a.k.a.

Ram Dass, has since grown, expanded, lived, and thrived.​ This is not to say that Alpert didn’t have a few issues along the way.

Instead, it’s to note that his mission appears to be broader, deeper, and with a longer tail.

It’s entirely possible Alpert lived this long in loving abundance because his teachings are still relevant and inspiring, possibly more than ever.​ Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now remains one of the most important spiritual books of our time.
