    Tim was truly casting his pearls before swine! And indeed, they trampled the pearls and turned and attacked him. He was unflappable in his belief that the psychedelic experience was very important and valuable to mankind. Now, 50-60 years later, everyone is finally discovering what he was saying all along is absolutely true.

      We are? All I see here in Northern California, in the public sphere at least, is a lot of drug addicts, young and old alike, living in tents on the street, depending on others for food and supplies. Leary's vision of egotistical experience-seeking comes with a lot of human fallout. Most people make the trade-off to not jeopardize their jobs and families, and do without the marginal benefits of experience-seeking through drugs. There's enough in the world without drugs to get fulfillment in life. More to see and do than we have time for.

    Another question that I have, how can you believe in the intelligence in the wisdom and the knowledge of people that run a country that put a man of a very high IQ, very high understanding and awareness of the world with three dimensional realm around him by the way, very few people are going to understand what I'm going to ask but? How is that conducive to locking this man up in solitary confinement when he tested psilocybin in a solitary environment, again the father of modern nervous system and neurological function, locking him in a prison, no wonder why the man escaped, there's a lot of physics and four-dimensional understanding of the realm after you die in some cultures, that's why some people also believed that he could have been a martyr in a physical form from another dimension of time, AKA another part of History, an entity that took physical form, again he's a very very prevalent and prominent figure of modern American history for a reason and it wasn't LSD, mainstream Media made him that way I read only a few of his books and I'm going to be reading all of them soon,went to school with people that design them 😂

    Imagine being imprisoned for introducing people to a psychedelic. That’s the worst bad trip. I think it was more than just that, but I’ve never really studied Tim. I think his message was too radicalized for its time and did a lot of damage to the consciousness around psychedelics. ? “‘tune in, turn off, and drop out.” (?). And also for the frank candor with which he would speak about drugs from a futuristic cultural perspective.
    Which caused the political parties to cater to an inherent and very strong conservative fear of psychedelics due to it waywarding their kids (for a few years).and for how silly and confusing psychedelic culture seemed. Psychedelics dropped onto the scene of culture like mother nature’s own viral meme that had no bounds. Of course it wasn’t Tim’s fault. But he tried to nobly to direct some of that.
    Even I grew up thinking it would make me insane for life or some such ridiculous thing. This was fostered by the reckless use of de sanctifying the drug. It’s taken until the last 5 years for the basics of a psychedelic trip to be understood which is being called ego death or default network decoupling(?). Meanwhile,
    these days my friends take them super recreationally. Such as at parties, concerts, or weekly. Daily.
    When as far as I can tell, it should be used like medicine or spiritual purposes. And it should not be used more than twice a year at most.
    Due to the cultural fear (which may have been inevitable) It took until my late twenties to actually take a chance with it and completely change and recalibrate my life.
    To the point of even seeing life (and death) itself in a recalibrated way…. I assume after listening to this that it couldn’t be anyone’s fault because psychedelic introduction to our culture was virulently meme’d.
    I was listening to an incredibly rare talk with Tim and Ram Dass the other day and Tim quipped, “sometimes I don’t know which of us is Tom or Huckleberry, Richard.”
    Ram joked, “‘I think it’s Tom & Jerry, Timothy.”

      He got arrested because peoples kids were stuck on perma trips under his research. Permanently mentally damaged. What it all came down to. For a long time they just stuck him the corner and tried to find some use for him. Ironically rehabilitating prison inmates with psychedelics.

    • @dnbjedi
      @dnbjedi Рік тому

      they weren't giving anyone in their research 'permatrips' which is something that doesn't really exist. Persistent hallucination disorder may be a thing but its caused by abusive use of psychedelics. In no way shape or form were they giving enough lsd or shrooms to cause permatrips.
      HE got associated with every bad and good result of psychedelics and thus demonized by the public for the so called "permatrip" kids who were basically just abusing drugs. For better or worse was the fall guy for psychedelics.
      Psilocybin is safe. Unless you have serious mental instability to the point of a condition. Have you taken it?

    I am a big fan of psychedelics but not a fan of leary. His entire philosphy was the polar opposite of how people should treat psychedelics and their potential. “Turn on, tune in, drop out” is total bullshit. Psychedelics can reveal and introduce your true spirit to your conscious mind. Imagine the profound impact they could have on society and the quality of all of our lives if they were more widely socially accepted. The only way to make that happen is for people who are “turned on” to DROP IN to our culture not “drop out”. I think Leary had some interesting views and scientific processes in the beginning but he turned into a whacked out ego maniacal goof. If you know anything about how he treated the people around him, its clear he did not learn much from his psychedelic experiences.

      Actually, he said "drop out, turn on, tune in." Others used it differently. He was talking about dropping out of your perception of life and your place in it, take the drug, and tune into your hallucination. He then goes onto say "wake up and see your life differently' and hopefully with more insight.

      @@Denidrakes69 Mmm sure, have you read his book the game of life? It's about the 8 circuit model of consciousness, he thought most people become robot hive caste slaves and stay in 4th circuit consciousness, which is basically moral political sacrifice for the greater good of the collective, although the 4th circuit can be programmed for almost anything people basically get programmed by the environment rather than through purposeful self programming. He thought psychedelics triggered a quick evolution into higher consciousness, and freedom from societies political moral standards. Basically what a "well adjusted person" would consider narcissism, since the 5th circuit brain no longer gives a fuck what anyone thinks, it's healthy narcissism, self awareness, hedonistic pleasure, unrepressed sexuality. 4th circuit moral dogma becomes frightened by such carefree behavior. Really great book, waaay ahead of its time even by today's standards imo.
