More From Timothy Leary

There's One Uneasy Borderline Between What Is External And What Is Internal, And This Borderline Is Defined Exactly By The Sense Organs And The Skin And The Introduction Of External Things Within My Own Body. Consciousness Is Altered By Physical Events And Physical Objects, Which Impinge Upon My Sense Organs, Or Which I Introduce Into My Body. Now The Name Traditionally Given To External Objects Or Processes Which Change You Internally Is Sacrament. Sacraments Are The Visible And Tangible Techniques For Bringing You Close To Your Own Divinity.

Recite To Yourself Some Of The Traditional Attributes Of The Word 'spiritual': Mythic, Magical, Ethereal, Incorporeal, Intangible, Nonmaterial, Disembodied, Ideal, Platonic. Is That Not A Definition Of The Electronic-digital?

Monotheism Is The Primitive Religion Which Centers Human Consciousness On Hive Authority. There Is One God And His Name Is _______ (substitute Hive-label).

The Basic Posture Of Christianity Is Kneeling. Thy Will Be Done.

His Preoccupations, Whims, Anxieties, Jealousies, Rules And Hatred Of Women Are Primitive Mammalian Brain. His Petty Prides Are Primate.

Surfers Are The ‘throw-aheads’ Of Mankind, Not The Dregs; They Aren’t The Black Sheep Of Humanity, But The Futurists And They Are Leading The Way To Where Man Ultimately Wants To Be. The Act Of The Ride Is The Epitome Of ‘be Here Now’, And The Tube Ride Is The Most Acute Form Of That. Which Is: Your Future Is Right Ahead Of You, The Past Is Exploding Behind You, Your Wake Is Disappearing, Your Footprints Are Washed From The Sand. It’s A Non-productive, Non-depletive Act That’s Done Purely For The Value Of The Dance Itself. And That Is The Destiny Of Man.

And A New Philosophy Emerged Called Quantum Physics, Which Suggest That The Individual’s Function Is To Inform And Be Informed. You Really Exist Only When You’re In A Field Sharing And Exchanging Information. You Create The Realities You Inhabit.

I've Left Specific Instructions That I Do Not Want To Be Brought Back During A Republican Administration.

Following Instructions

If You Want To Change The Way People Respond To You, Change The Way You Respond To People.

Drop Out--detach Yourself From The External Social Drama Which Is As Dehydrated And Ersatz As Tv. Turn On--find A Sacrament Which Returns You To The Temple Of God, Your Own Body. Go Out Of Your Mind. Get High. Tune In--be Reborn. Drop Back In To Express It. Start A New Sequence Of Behavior That Reflects Your Vision.

I'd Just Like To See Thinking Come Back In Style. I Haven't Heard A New Idea In Eight Years. Let's Get Ordinary People Arguing And Talking Again. I Want To Trigger New Circuits In Their Nervous Systems. That's The Philosopher's Job And I Am The Most Important Philosopher At This Time.

In The Eleusinian Mysteries, They Would Always Warn People, "if You Go In Here, Your Ego Will Die. You're Going To Have To Confront All Your Past Hang-ups, Strip Them Off, And Be A Changed Person."

I Learned More About Psychology In The Five Hours After Taking These Mushrooms Than In The Preceding 15 Years Of Studying And Doing Research In Psychology.

Throughout Human History, As Our Species Has Faced The Frightening, Terrorizing Fact That We Do Not Know Who We Are, Or Where We Are Going In This Ocean Of Chaos, It Has Been The Authorities - The Political, The Religious, The Educational Authorities - Who Attempted To Comfort Us By Giving Us Order, Rules, Regulations, Informing - Forming In Our Minds - Their View Of Reality. To Think For Yourself You Must Question Authority And Learn How To Put Yourself In A State Of Vulnerable Open-mindedness, Chaotic, Confused Vulnerability To Inform Yourself.

Remember Also: Beyond The Restless Flowing Electricity Of Life Is The Ultimate Reality- The Void. Your Own Awareness, Not Formed Into Anything Possessing Form Or Color, Is Naturally Void. The Final Reality. The All Good. The All Peaceful. The Light. The Radiance. The Movement Is The Fire Of Life From Which We All Come. Join It. It Is Part Of You.

Despite The Campaign Rhetoric, The Bureaucracies-big Business And Big Government-are Here To Stay. The Centralization Effort Cannot Be Checked. But It Can Be Rationally Directed Towards Our Species Goal: Space Migration, Which In Turn Offers The Only Way To Re-attain Individual Freedom Of Space-time And The Small-group Social Structures Which Obviously Best Suit Our Nervous Systems. It Is Another Paradox Of Neuro-genetics That Only In Space Habitats Can Humanity Return To The Village Life And Pastoral Style For Which We All Long.

Turn On. To Contact The Ancient Energies And Wisdoms That Are Built Into Your Nervous System. They Provide Unspeakable Pleasure And Revelation. Tune In. To Harness And Communicate These New Perspectives In A Harmonious Dance With The External World. Drop Out. Detach Yourself From The Tribal Game. Current Models Of Social Adjustement - Mechanized, Computerized, Socialized, Intellectualized, Televised, Sanforized - Make No Sense To The New Lsd Generation Who See Clearly That American Society Is Becoming An Air-conditioned Anthill.

My Advice To Myself And To Everyone Else, Particularly Young People, Is To Turn On, Tune In And Drop Out. By Drop Out, I Mean To Detach Yourself From Involvement In Secular, External Social Games. But The Dropping Out Has To Occur Internally Before It Can Occur Externally. I'm Not Telling Kids Just To Quit School; I'm Not Telling People To Quit Their Jobs. That Is An Inevitable Development Of The Process Of Turning On And Tuning In.
