Description Instructions This course has looked at how different traditions (in different times and places) have dealt with the issues of death and dying. In the previous section you saw how Ram Dass melded together what he had learned from studying eastern traditions and brought them back to a western audience so, we got a sort of fusion "east-west" approach there. His former colleague, Timothy Leary proceeded mostly down a non-religious path (pharmacological and scientific) which was where he and Ram Dass (aka, Richard Alpert) began. Remember, it was through his experimentation with hallucinogens that Alpert gained the (for lack of a better word) spiritual impetus to pursue his search through more traditional means. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, as I said elsewhere, was responsible for spearheading the hospice care movement and analyzing what a person goes through as they are dying. I am curious to know if any of you have any experience with hospice care? I also would like to know your thoughts on the following: Have you learned anything about the subject of death, dying (or the beyond) from any of the approaches you have looked at this semester? What was it? Please be specific and go into as much detail as you can.
