In the information-communication civilization of the 21st Century, creativity and mental excellence will become the ethical norm. The world will be too dynamic, complex, and diversified, too cross-linked by the global immediacies of modern (quantum) communication, for stability of thought or dependability of behaviour to be successful.

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.

Living, dying, and thinking... they're all team sports.
Timothy Leary
Image
A man without justice is a beast, and a man who would make himself a beast forgets the pain of being a man.
Timothy Leary

If you want to change the way people respond to you, change the way you respond to people.

LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.
Timothy Leary
Image
Individual societies begin in harmonious adaptation to the environment and, like individuals, quickly get trapped into nonadaptive, artificial, repetitive sequences.
Timothy Leary
Image
Man's best friend is his dogma.
Timothy Leary
Image
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
Image
LSD is known to induce psychosis, in people who have never used it.
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.
