Here We All Are (1969)

Here We All Are, a 3-LP set recorded live in Vancouver, BC in the summer of 1969.

Telling his story in "three chapters," Ram Dass explains how he moved from the structured academic world to wide-open experiences with psychedelics (and the Harvard experiments with Timothy Leary). Then in India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji), who taught him to "just be here now."

Ram Dass shares with us how we can all attain a state of well-being. The result is that we'll become more centered, and we'll learn to see the God in each other, which ultimately leads to an overwhelming sense of oneness with, and love for, our fellow humans. As Neem Karoli Baba says, "The same blood runs through all our veins."
