Timothy Leary - How to Operate Your Brain

Who operates your brain? is it you?

So you thought this was going to be about oil and energy only :lol:

Who are you and are you yourself?

Can you be trusted? Can you trust yourself?

Do you know yourself?

I see many being operated but few true operators.

Hello operator...
Order from Chaos from Order yeah.

It is frightening.
Will this new found fear motivate you to now do all the right things for all the wrong reasons or will you choose a different path?

HOPE
It is easier to enslave a people that wish to remain free then it is to free a people who wish to remain enslaved.

Leary is that former psych professor from Harvard who experimented with LSD no?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('The_Toecutter', 'L')SD is very fun.



Personally, I'm not much for the hallucination thing.


Marijuana is probably more healthy at least.


and at 200 dollars a plant you can't go wrong.

how about salvia divinorum? Holy herb of MesoAmerican shamans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_divinorum Unbelievable. Imagine a world made of slats and pebbles with a wind blowing across your mind. The Mayans were aware of this I'm sure.

LSD, shrooms and marijuana are not neurotoxic in the least bit at recreational doses.

Only because of the ongoing pogrom against it. Legalize and commercialize and it would be dirt cheap by comparison.

The amazing thing about Salvia is that it is completely unrelated to any known hallucinogen. It isn't an alkaloid, in fact, it's a mystery. It's not a 'party drug' in the sense that it is introspective. It only lasts five minutes but it has been shown to cure chronic depressive souls who wanted nothing but to die when nothing of modern pharmacology helped at all. It's a mind blower alright. I've had dreams from it that can not be believed.

Salvia is the one portal I'd love to enter, but I am a bit scared to. The last time I smoked dope, I had the worst body stone of my life. My muscles seized up and I felt like I was being extruded through my own intestines. Hypnogogs should stay away from that stuff.

Heard of ibogaine? Another fabulous treatment for depression and addiction. Entheogens give me hope for humanity.

This thread is about when we had so many riches we could get wasted any number of ways and still have enough outs to get by.

Been back there - I did that - that world aint’t what’s up there in front of us though.

But carry on as you see fit...

Anyone who does would be wise not to explicitly state it to others who are uninvolved with such an operation.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')SD, shrooms and marijuana are not neurotoxic in the least bit at recreational doses.


Nor has anyone died from either of those drugs by themselves left unadulterated.

Alcohol and tobacco, both 'legal' are an entirely different story.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')nly because of the ongoing pogrom against it. Legalize and commercialize and it would be dirt cheap by comparison.


Amen. Get rid of that unconstitutional $40 billion/year boondoggle known as the war on drugs, cut out half of the prison industrial complex being about $20 billion/year worth(since you'd no longer be putting nonviolent drug users in jail), and get rid of that horrible $2 billion/year drug testing industry that violates people's rights and taxpayers have now saved over $60 billion/year.

But just as it refuses to implement viable ways to reduce oil consumption, that overbloated piece of shit we call a government likes this war on drugs. It gives them an excuse to raise taxes, destroy more of our cherished liberties, and a lot of companies make money off it. With the drug war, industrial hemp and marijuana can be prevented from competing with the oil industry, pharmaceutical industry, timber industry, corn industry. Hemp would be an excellent source of positive EROEI biofuels that could be produced at $.60/gallon. And that's why these industries want it stalled, since it would cut consumer spending and profit since it's so cheap and versatile. The war on drugs generates more growth, but at the expense of our civil liberties and economic freedoms.

The people that push it are traitors to this republic. Jefferson would have had Ansligner and Walters hung would he have been around then.

I hear you Pops. It's not a pretty picture in front of us. The outs are disappearing. But we all have had so many years before us and that has not changed. That Mayan Art, though, it's something else. . .

Yea, you’re right PMS, that is pretty cool.

It would be interesting seeing what the artist saw on the way to and from the studio…
