Bøger af Timothy Leary

Written in 70s with all the influence of the wild and counterculture rebelliousness of the 60s, The Game of Life reflects the depth of mind of one of the unique human beings of the 20th century. From famed psychologist and Harvard professor to LSD Guru, to stage and film star, computer junky, and more. Tim leaves no stone, or for that matter, person unturned. As an unrepentant advocate of personal freedom and development, he was on a mission to wake humanity up, to encourage us to use our brains and open our minds up to different ways of thinking. One of his favourite mottoes was "Think for yourself and question authority". The Game of Life is an organic computer, (although when Leary wrote it he wasn't yet into hyper-interactive computer intelligence.) In this book he updated the meaning of Medieval Tarot Cards and Chinese I-Ching Triagrams and used the symbology to express his fascinating theories within a multi-dimensional structure. With a unique intelligent wit, he expresses his perceptions, wisdom and ideas that evolution is proceeding into pre-programmed post-human stages which will carry us off the planet, but also that some human beings are (have always been) literally ahead of their times in having activated what Dr Leary calls "circuits" of their nervous systems years or even centuries ahead of general human development. The Game of Life is not simply a book: it is an experience.

START YOUR OWN RELIGION embodies the Timothy Leary''s core attraction—expansive religious (personal) freedom. Become the highest version of yourself! The purpose of life is religious discovery. return to the temple of God—your ow body. Get of out your mind and get high. Religious living is conscious here-and-now aliveness. He urges readers to drop out, turn on tune in. Drop out and detach from external social drams. Turn on with a sacrament that returns you on to your body. Tune in and be reborn. Leary''s message thrilled the youth of the 1960s and it is still appealing today.

Here, Leary likens human society to that of insect hives and shows how evolutionary agents are upsetting the hive and causing it to evolve. Eventually he says, we will become the aliens. He describes the struggle between the forces moving into the future and those attempting to stop change.
