Friedland had heard Baba Ram Da, the author of Be Here Now, give a speech in Boston, and like Jobs and Kottke had gotten deeply into Eastern spirituality.During the summer of 1973, he traveled to India to meet Ram Da’s Hindu guru, Neem Karoli Baba, famously known to his many followers as Maharaj-ji.When he returned that fall, Friedland had taken a spiritual name and walked around in sandals and flowing Indian robes.He had a room off campus, above a garage, and Jobs would go there many afternoons to seek him out.He was entranced by the apparent intensity of Friedland’s conviction that a state of enlightenment truly existed and could be attained.“He turned me on to a different level of consciousne,” Jobs said. spiritual ['spɪrɪtʃʊəl]

Friedland found Jobs fascinating as well.“He was always walking around barefoot,” he later told a reporter.“The thing that struck me was his intensity.Whatever he was interested in he would generally carry to an irrational extreme.” Jobs had honed his trick of using stares and silences to master other people.“One of his numbers was to stare at the person he was talking to.He would stare into their fucking eyeballs, ask some question, and would want a response without the other person averting their eyes.”

According to Kottke, some of Jobs’s personality traits—including a few that lasted throughout his career—were borrowed from Friedland.“Friedland taught Steve the reality distortion field,” said Kottke.“He was charismatic and a bit of a con man and could bend situations to his very strong will.He was mercurial, sure of himself, a little dictatorial.Steve admired that, and he became more like that after spending time with Robert.”

Jobs also absorbed how Friedland made himself the center of attention.“Robert was very much an outgoing, charismatic guy, a real salesman,” Kottke recalled.“When I first met Steve he was shy and self-effacing, a very private guy.I think Robert taught him a lot about selling, about coming out of his shell, of opening up and taking charge of a situation.” Friedland projected a high-wattage aura.“He would walk into a room and you would instantly notice him.Steve was the absolute opposite when he came to Reed.After he spent time with Robert, some of it started to rub off.”

On Sunday evenings Jobs and Friedland would go to the Hare Krishna temple on the western edge of Portland, often with Kottke and Holmes in tow.They would dance and sing songs at the top of their lungs.“We would work ourselves into an ecstatic frenzy,” Holmes recalled.“Robert would go insane and dance like crazy.Steve was more subdued, as if he was embarraed to let loose.” Then they would be treated to paper plates piled high with vegetarian food. Holmes [həulmz]

Friedland had stewardship of a 220-acre apple farm, about forty miles southwest of Portland, that was owned by an eccentric millionaire uncle from Switzerland named Marcel Müller.After Friedland became involved with Eastern spirituality, he turned it into a commune called the All One Farm, and Jobs would spend weekends there with Kottke, Holmes, and like-minded seekers of enlightenment.The farm had a main house, a large barn, and a garden shed, where Kottke and Holmes slept.Jobs took on the task of pruning the Gravenstein apple trees.“Steve ran the apple orchard,” said Friedland.“We were in the organic cider busine.Steve’s job was to lead a crew of freaks to prune the orchard and whip it back into shape.”
