Dr. Timothy Leary, PhD (1920-1996) Psychologist, philosopher, explorer, teacher, optimist, author and revolutionary avatar of the mind. Rightly called the Galileo of Consciousness, he went public with his observations of the mind made with psychedelic mindscopes and helped initiate a renaissance which is still only beginning to elaborate itself.

"Put it into historical context. The use of sacramental vegetables has gone back, back, back in history to shamans and the Hindu religion and Buddhist religion. They were using soma. It's an ancient human ritual that has usually been practiced in the context of religion or of worship or of tribal coming together. I didn't pioneer anything. The use of psychedelics for spiritual purposes was started in the 50s by Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs."—Tim 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.—Methods of Control

"None of Dr. Leary's most important studies have either suffered refutation or enjoyed confirmation, because enacted law, statues enacted after and because of Dr. Leary's research - makes it a crime for any other psychologists or psychiatrists to replicate such research. I know you've heard that the Inquisition ended in 1819, but in many areas of psychotherapy and medicine, the U.S. government has taken up where the Vatican left off." Robert Anton Wilson Positive LSD Story : "Timothy Leary is smiling somewhere. More than 40 years after the U.S. government banned hallucinogens...and scoffed at the Harvard psychologist and anyone else who suggested they might have a legitimate use, federal officials have become enlightened. The Food and Drug Administration has rightfully changed its stance on the research of psychedelic drugs."

"Tim Leary's personal adventure is a significant vector in itself. The Semmelweis Reflex put him through twenty-five jails as virtually a political prisoner for insisting that the individual has the inviolable right to manipulate, explore, expand, control Hir neurological system/brain/mind and espousing psychedelic chemicals as the best tool so far to achieve that end, the exploration of the metamorphic leading edge."

"There is, at this point in time, no other more elegant, comprehensive, advanced message from the DNA around. The model presented in Exopsychology (aka Info-Psychology) and the more recent Game of Life will be an adequate model for some time to come. The message: Imprint the DNA; tune in to the most fundamental set of directions we know from the miniaturized transceiver intelligence that builds us - and then playfully transcend them, summed up in the acronym SMI²LE for Space Migration, Intelligence increase, Life Extension, a precise statement of the genetic imperative driving us at the leading edge of our accelerating metamorphosis—and, not surprisingly, a precise description of the "gods" that truth, the real humility, requires us to acknowledge that we are. In light of the overwhelming evidence it would be arrogant not to." Neil Freer
LEARY VS KESEY or Harvard Psilocybin Project vs The Acid Tests There was disagreement between Timothy Leary and his followers and Ken Kesey and the Pranksters over the direction of the psychedelic movement.
Dr. Leary initially argued that psychedelic drugs should be approached in a serious, scientific manner for psychological and spiritual enlightenment. The Leary camp originally opposed giving people psychedelics outside of a controlled setting and especially denounced giving the drugs to people without their knowledge. Kesey however believed that psychedelics were best used as a tool for transforming society as a whole, and believed thatif a sufficient percentage of the population had the psychedelic experience then revolutionary social and political changes would occur. Therefore they made LSD available to anyone interested in partaking—most famously through the "electric koolaid" made available at the Acid Test events they would sponsor in the years following the bus trip.
As the use of LSD spread widely through the Western world, Leary ultimately joined the bandwagon of "acid populism" as well. more...
At Stanford in 1959, Kesey volunteered to take part in a CIA-financed study named Project MKULTRA at the Menlo Park Veterans Hospital on the effects of psychoactive drugs, particularly LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, cocaine, and DMT. Kesey wrote many detailed accounts of his experiences with these drugs, both during the Project MKULTRA study and in the years of private experimentation that followed. His role as a medical guinea pig inspired Kesey to write One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1962.Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters are remembered chiefly for the sociological significance of a lengthy roadtrip they took in 1964, traveling across the United States in a psychedelically painted school bus enigmatically labeled "Furthur."...The Pranksters were enthusiastic users of marijuana, amphetamines, LSD, [various pharmaceutical narcotics and alcohol], and in the process of their journey they are said to have "turned on" many people by introducing them to these drugs. —Source, edited.

"It does become ominous when defenders of the status quo domesticity, whether nuclear family or Maoist collective, justify legislative and coercive force to prevent the emergence of higher levels of consciousness and evolution. The social moralist then becomes a neurological fascist relentlessly opposed to any conception of human destiny higher than docile ant-hill productivity.

What ... all orthodox moralists fear is the unfolding of the fifth neurological-rapture circuit, freedom from static imprints, disciplined release of right-lobe ecstasy, the joyful experience of Zen freedom, the spirit of levity which will free individual atoms to float loose from the gene-pool molecule and form higher units in neurological (and physical) Outer Space.

It must be emphasized that the evolution from fourth-circuit gravity to fifth-circuit levity is much, much more than a struggle between generations. The DNA strategy calls for continuous acceleration of the genetic script, and evolution has never happened faster than at present. The bitterness of the old species grows increasingly paranoid, violent, vengeful."
