Image
The neurogenetic meaning of the cultural revolution is now clear. Neurochemicals are designed to be pursuitist, not escapist. They open the nervous system to the possibilities of future post-terrestrial evolution.
Timothy Leary
Image
Pursuing the religious life today without using psychedelics drugs is like studying astronomy with the naked eye because that's how they did it in the first century A.D.
Timothy Leary
Image
I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan.
Timothy Leary
Image
Our assignment was to topple this prudish, judgmental civilization. And it worked.
