Baba Ram Dick Dass Alpert has put together for us a very tasty hot fudge Sunday school (you know how hot fudge sundaes came about? It seems this little princess once demanded of the King’s cooks something absolutely new to title her jaded palette: “It must be both black and white and hot and cold,” she pouted. Pow! They socked a sundae to her...) Be Here Now is western in flavor, Eastern in content and sprinkled generously with the kernels of wisdom gleaned from ten years of dedicated nutcracking. Rum Dum (as his father calls him) has over the past four or five years become a true disciple of Vedanta and Yoga, and in his box we get it all: a history, a cookbook, a bibliography and a collection of daily meditations hung together in beautiful layout. Though the book is clearly founded in Eastern Philosophy, Rum Dum’s background is tennis shoes and bikes and cars and trying to get laid and gaining prestige, just like all of us, so his meditations are as familiar to us as our own bathwater. He makes the Message of the East comfortable for our coffee table studies with his references to drugs we have all taken, books we all have read and flashes we all have experienced. This warmth and dedication makes the Lama Foundation the most personal and reliable-seeming school of psychedelic thought that has so far surfaced in our hemisphere, and Baba Ram Dass shines forth from the box looking as though he may be our first true guru.
