Timothy Leary
Image
We cannot study the brain, the instrument for fabricating the realities we inhabit, using the mental constructs of the past.
Timothy Leary

People have to go out of their mind before they can come to their senses.
Timothy Leary

Romantic poetry and fiction of the last 2000 years has blinded us to the fact that emotions are a low form of jungle consciousness. Emotional actions are the most contracted, dangerous form of fanatic stupor.

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.
