From Ram Dass, one of America’s most beloved spiritual figures and bestselling author of Be Here Now and Be Love Now, comes this timeless classic about the experience of being and the risks and rewards of our spiritual path. Originally published in 1976, Grist for the Mill offers a deep spiritual journey of self-discovery, and a universal understanding of what it means to "be" and to grow as human beings. The book is fully revised with a new introduction.
As Ram Dass puts it, "When the faith is strong enough it is sufficient just to be. It’s a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness, towards a kind of joy that is not in time. It’s a journey that has taken us from primary identification with our body and our psyche, on to an identification with God, and ultimately beyond identification."

Stephen Levine has led an extraordinary fife. One of North America's revered spiritual teachers shares the "heart's hunger" of his troubled youth, his work with the seminal figures of the Beat poetry and jazz scene in New York and the psychedelic sixties in San Francisco, and the seeker's journey that led him to encounters with Ram Dass, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and the Dalai Lama.
In this intimate account of compassion and healing, Levine's narrative turns progressively inward as he describes his life's path toward a deeper understanding of "the way of things." A former drug addict become spiritual teacher, Levine describes how he learned to use his life as a jumping-off point from which to teach healing principles and guided meditations. The author lays bare his own understanding of mindfulness, loving kindness, and service (the fundamental pillars of Buddhism) in an account of a life rich with characters immediately recognizable as leaders of the modern Eastern spirituality movement. Levine, through his life and work, embodies the message that personal peace and transcendence are possible for all.

Healing Into Life and Death

"His work is magic." - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross This rare book is one of very few which look at what healing really is. Healing arises naturally, says Stephen, if resistances to it are removed. It starts when there is a will to be healed. He shares with his readers a perceptive and invaluable vision of healing at every level - physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual. Opening the heart of love and forgiveness, identifying hindrances, dealing with pain, emotion and abuse are all examined. With the aid of inner exercises, Healing into Life and Death helps people to take charge of their lives, their minds, their hearts and their healing process. Perhaps the most moving testimony to Stephen's compassionate approach to dying is encapsulated in this moving passage from his book. Here he describes being present with those whose dying marked a wonderful opening of hearts and release of spirits: "How much healing had occurred! They were more healed, more whole at their moment of dying than at any time in their life. They had healed into death, their business finished, their future wide open."
