This is valuable information, not from a guru or merely eccentric mind, no, but from a former Harvard University psychologist who subjectively and objectively and systematically tested, experimented and clinically proved that LSD and other psychedelics and their subsequent human reactions, mind interpretations and experiential conscious observations were both beneficial and related to outside the limited human mind or chessboards of values and ideas. Of course the government's are threatened by any and all such ideas that venture outside their limited schematical ideas and systems used for social structure, control and submissive subjection and therefore administer intensely unjust persecution.
But to write this information off as arbitrary and valueless is the common human response to change and growth as a human evolutionary species, a rejection that has been practiced since the beginning of time. Therefore those enlightened by such spiritual, rational/non-rational perceptive illuminations have remained relatively unspoken for many thousands of years and have paradoxically been the progenitors of all religious teachings and many political ideologies.
From chapter 8: "To use our heads, to push out beyond words, space-time categories, social identifications, models and concepts, it becomes necessary to go out of our generally rational minds. . .
Our present mental machinery cannot possibly handle the whirling, speed-of-light, trackless processes of our brain, our organ of consciousness itself. . .
We cannot study the brain, the instrument for fabricating the realities we inhabit, using the mental constructs of the past. . .Read more ›

When I first reviewed this book, my understanding of philosophy and social behavior was minimal. As I've grown I've learned quite a bit about the implications of how a topic is presented, and how it will be utilized. Though he has many great ideas, its the utility which I believe is found to be at a lack. So many ideas I think get lost in a philosophical oversight of what is implied by what he says. In practice I don't find that it amounts to anything pragmatically, other than food for thought.

Though Quantum Psychology was created/trademarked by Eddie Oshins in the mid-1970's, you can bet that Timothy Leary was an influence on him.
Quantum Psychology is a means to enable you to stay in your adult experience of what is in your present moment, and maintain rather than lose access to inner resources which your automatic responses cut you off from. It enables you to notice the mechanism of your automatic response "trance" and exercise control over it and respond more effectively, free of the emotional charge of past experiences. Sound familiar? That is basically what Timothy Leary wrote about in this book. The only difference is that Timothy Leary tinkered with drugs to get there. In all seriousness, Timothy Leary did make a huge contribution to the field of psychology and others revised his findings later and took credit.
Thank You Mr. Leary

Solid book by Leary would recommend as well as his other titles. This is one of those books I know I will end up reading multiple times in the years to come.

Hi; welcome to all Wilson; Icke; Mckenna and Leary fans.
This book has been the first book that i have read of Tiothy Leary. I am impressed by his humor; wit and most of all the way he can see past the system that has been given to us.
I will have to look further into the phenonemon of timothy leary; like wilson and look at some more of his books.

This book cuts the propaganda and delivers the honest to god truth about god manifesting chemistry.
I hear the authorities are still in league with the priests to suppress this biography of the chemical of the gods and all political parties, on our little island, are still at it, like a troop of clapping penguins, carrying on the masquerade, and so it is our duty to give a copy, or to just speak the truth, to our friends and family. Those who think it is all an escape from reality are missing the point. Lsd opens the gates to another place, a place we can never put into words, but it is still there, all of the time; like an eternal mozart symphony, in the atmosphere, that our senses are all deaf to, until we take Lsd.
Trying to pin down weird experiences with words is like trying to eat fire with an axe. Weird experiences you see can never be embodied or wrapped up into digestible words. Zen Buddhists talk about the impossibility of describing liberation. The original doctrines of awakening came from Vedic India. When done correctly, these doctrines will break open your hopelessly dreary reality and set you on your way to Nirvana, Moksha, and God (take your pick) . Unfortunately, only the special adepts achieve this goal; in original Buddhism for example, Nirvana was not meant for the peasants. (Forget all that New Age Mad'ayana 'everybody for the ride' rubbish peddled in the west). Thank heavens then for psychedelics. Today we have the new-kids on the block; the psychedelic experience and, more excitingly, the Lsd experience. These molecules can open the gates to worldwide Enlightenment, that is, they are for the masses. Lsd is an especially fast track to the above.Read more ›
