Where Spiritual Giants Duke It Out

Ram Dass
Taking Hits

Hal Blacker:

In an excerpt from Hal Blacker in "What Is Enlightenment?," Volume 5, Number 1

"A moment later Kornfield related how Ram Dass, a popular spiritual teacher since the 1960's, says that after many years of spiritual practice he has become a "connoisseur of his neuroses."

"Kornfield, Ram Dass, and Harvey . . . appear to be casting doubt on the possibility of anyone going beyond a limited, divided and neurotic condition. Yet isn't the very aspiration to transcend these aspects of ourselves that cause so much suffering the reason we became interested in spirituality in the first place?"
