This video discusses Cultivating the Witness. It features memes by Timothy Burgoyne.

The background music in this video is Ram Dass chanting the mantra Rama Rama with some friends. The brown pages in the book Be Here Now were originally published in a large format, 11 inch square manuscript called from Bindu to Ojas. We got our autographed copy in late 1970. It came in a was called The Box Set with other pamphlets and an album. On that album he described the meaning of different mantras, and then chanted them with some friends. This was my favorite one. I chanted it frequently back in the day. I had not heard it in four decades when 2 years ago my friend Jon Seskevich (Vasu) told me about a website he had recently created. On that site he told the whole story of the creation of The Box Set. He found that album and was able to put the audio tracks on his website, available for anyone to listen to. I took one stanza from this track and just repeated it over and over as background music in this clip.

Here is the webpage to hear the entire album:

You can use the menu at the top of that page to navigate around and learn all about how the brown pages in the book Be Here Now we're originally published separately.

Here is a link to the page on my website that has high-resolution copies of the artwork in the brown pages because I was able to photograph them from the large version that we got in 1971.

If you would like to read how my family's friendship with Richard Alpert became a friendship with Ram Dass, I created a website to showcase the letters he sent us over time and some photos of him my aunt took in 1964 and 1969. We knew him mainly from the mid 60s to the mid 70s. Don't miss my personal blog page there, where I tell stories of growing up hippie in the late 60s, and meeting some rather famous people because my mother knew them. www.ramdasslove.org
