'Becoming Nobody,' director Jamie Catto’s enjoyable documentary on spiritual leader Ram Dass, proves a strong and moving reminder of the man's spiritual insight.
), that making oneself into a “nobody” — that is, truly open and egoless — is a much harder road. He also considers it the way to go for real personal freedom and enlightenment.
The spine of Catto’s compact film is a series of interviews, shot in 2015, with longtime friend and teacher Alpert in the philosopher’s Maui home. Alpert, now 88, is seen in this footage using a wheelchair as a result of a severe stroke he experienced in 1997. But Alpert’s speech, despite his stroke-related expressive aphasia, remains articulate, with his grace, humor and self-deprecating candor fully intact.
But a greater part of the film is composed of extended clips from past lectures and discussions in which the Brahmin-accented Alpert holds forth on several similar topics as in his sit-down with Catto, plus other theories and observations such as the distinction between “being holy” and “being human” and how our “downs” can be more instructive than our “highs.”

Obamas Sign Exclusive 6-Truck Deal To Produce Series Of Mid-Size RAM PickupsAUBURN HILLS, MI—Touting their excitement over the rare opportunity to offer a motor vehicle developed with the signature sense of style of a former leader of the free world, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles of North America announced Tuesday that Barack and Michelle Obama have signed a multimillion-dollar six-truck contract to produce a series of mid-size RAM pickups. “For the 2021 model year, we will roll out a new series of medium-platform RAM trucks in six trim levels, all with clean-sheet designs masterminded by the Obama family, continuing the legacy of the former POTUS and FLOTUS of inspiring Americans through unparalleled power, smooth handling, and class-leading comfort,” said RAM chief of design Joseph Dehner, noting that the trucks would be available in variants from the youth/sport-oriented Malia base model to the luxury Audacity flagship. “The Obama family still has a lot to say about American life, particularly where legroom, wireless device charging, and towing capabilities are concerned, and they were proud to lend their unique voices to RAM’s design vocabulary, as well as to our navigation systems as an added-cost option. With the former first family at the wheel, the new RAM can’t help but bridge the divide between America’s aspiring luxury buyers and economy-minded consumers.” While little else is known concerning the Obama-designed truck, sources at RAM confirmed that power will be provided by Chrysler’s dependable 3.6-liter V-6 engine, pricing will start around $35,000, and styling will include signature red, white, blue, and limited-edition tan colorways.
