Ram Dass: Becoming Nobody

Unique to this film is an unveiling of Ram Dass’ poignant, touching humour and his ability to teach “from the middle of the mess,” using his own personal anecdotes and foibles as the primary source of his well-worn wisdom. His authenticity and humanity invite viewers to step into their own messiness and fallibility and to abandon the temptations of ego and spiritual materialism as a path to true presence and compassion. The intimacy and trust that Ram Dass cultivates through his unabashed realness is a notable contrast to a commodified Western spiritual culture so often laden with self-proclaimed gurus.
