To use your head, you have to go out of your mind.
Timothy Leary

You are a God Act like one!
Timothy Leary
Image
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.

The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly
Timothy Leary
