Alan Watts was my 'gateway drug' into accessible spiritual texts, that led me further to Jiddu Krishnamurti, Ram Dass, traditional Buddhism and Advaita.

To be able to search for specific topics or phrases in Ram Dass' talks, I built this little search engine that finds the search phrase in the subtitles and gives you the context and a link to Youtube: https://ramdass-search.net/

That's awesome! Ram Dass has been a real hero for me. I also love how excerpts from Watts and Ram Dass have been picked up by so many (very talented) musicians over recent years, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwT7AobR2No
Ram Dass was the gateway guy for me too. "The only dance there is" described how awareness brings light and peace to everyday situations.
