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.

More quotes by Timothy Leary
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
Timothy Leary
When you teach someone how to perform creatively (ie, associate dead symbols in new combinations), you expand his potential for experiencing more widely and richly.
Timothy Leary
By drop out, I mean to detach yourself from involvement in secular, external social games.
Timothy Leary
We seem to inhabit a universe made up of a small number of elements-particles-bits that swirl in chaotic clouds, occasionally clustering together in geometrically logical temporary configurations.
Timothy Leary
Man's best friend is his dogma.
Timothy Leary
If you want to change the way people respond to you, change the way you respond to people.
Timothy Leary
You simply cannot understand psychedelic drugs, which activate the brain, unless you understand something about computers.
Timothy Leary
Everything we did in the 1960s was designed to fission, to weaken faith in and conformity to the 1950s social order. Our precise surgical target was the Judeo-Christian power monolith, which has imposed a guilty, inhibited, grim, anti-body, anti-life repression on Western civilization.
Timothy Leary
We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. They are a hundred times better educated than their grandparents, and ten times more sophisticated. There has never been such an open-minded group. The problem is that no one is giving them anything fresh. They've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
Timothy Leary
I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration.
Timothy Leary
The word religion beautifully defines itself, of course. It translates to bind from the Latin--re means back and ligare means to tie up. All religions are straightjackets, jackets for the straight.
Timothy Leary
I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan.
Timothy Leary
You are a God Act like one!
Timothy Leary
Don't be intimidated by Caesar's Hollywood fake versions of religiosity. If life has a meaning for you beyond the TV-studio game, you are religious! Spell it out!
Timothy Leary
I think that marijuana makes you stupid but sensual. I've watched many of my friends and loved ones become more erotic and dumber - just going around with a glazed expression on their faces from their last orgasms to the next - and found them really quite boring.
Timothy Leary
Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity.
Timothy Leary
Fundamentalist Christianity appeals to pre-civilized, prudish tribal people who are not ready for urban feudal pleasures.
Timothy Leary
Intelligence is the ultimate aphrodisiac
Timothy Leary
Human beings have a right to change their consciousness, and it is unconscionable and absolutely wrong for any government or any person to stand in the way of someone choosing to change their consciousness.
Timothy Leary
People use the word natural ... What is natural to me is these botanical species which interact directly with the nervous system. What I consider artificial is 4 years at Harvard, and the Bible, and Saint Patrick's cathedral, and the Sunday school teachings.
