Well, enjoy it!! Could I borrow it from you after you finished reading?

bah!!! I think you should have read "Start Your Own Religion" before Politics.. it might have helped you to understand Learys spiritual concepts moreso beforehand..

You should read Ram Dass =)
his former name was Richard Alpert, he was Leary's friend, and assistant during experiments. He later became a spiritual leader/awakener for many

Oh. never thought about that. But I have read some about Leary and his beliefs... so I'm not completly off ground. but a bit though

I just opened the thing. And after reading the "table of contents" I already know I'll like it =)

2 billion years starting to make some sense... go ask alice

 

[DracWell]

Wow. I've read 1 damn foreword, 2 prologues adn 2 chapters... I love it! one crazy thing.

Leary lived from 1920 to 1996 right? In the end of his prologue he writes

"Timothy Leary
From The Other Side
1998"

what's that?! did he leave a letter or something that shouldn't be opened until 1998?

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

'From the other-side'

In 1998 he was dead, right?

makes sense?
He probably gathered that he would be dead by 1998.

 

[DracWell]

nonono! he diead in 1996! hence the mystery.

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

he probably miscalculated.

...Maybe he was on drugs at the time??

 

[DracWell]

haha... or he just wrote a letter before his death, that should'nt been read before august 1998

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

...It wasn't something like his '50th anniversary' of taking lsd or something like that was it...?

 

[DracWell]

might be. must look further into it at www.leary.com
