Editorial Review: Product Description: This collection of essays, written by the poster boy of 1960s counterculture, describes the psychological journey Timothy Leary made in the years following his dismissal from Harvard, as his psychedelic research moved from the scientific to the religious arena. He discusses the nature of religious experience and eight crafts of God, including God as hedonic artist. Leary also examines the Tibetan, Buddhist, and Taoist experiences. In the final chapters, he explores man as god and LSD as sacrament. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This book isn't what I thought it would be?I bought this book a while ago so I'm not sure what my initial hopes were, but they were dashed immediately (I could tell this book wasn't for me by the start of the 2nd chapter). Essentially my main problem was that the author assumes you are a LSD user or that you are wishing to dabble in LSD. Because the point of this book is based upon this assumption. Basically he talks briefly about the reason for setting up his own *religion* and then goes off and talks about the ... Read More Rating:  - Acid flash back in the pan......the brain pan, that is. Tee hee. (Giggling is a form of deep wisdom and ecstatic worship.) As you well know, your brain is the pan of God. Here are the facts, folks: LSD sends the entire skin of its user all the way to the interior, so that a very dense Chakra can form--that at least is the traditional theory of hallucinogenics. We do this inner-skin formation in order to be similar to me at my highest, which will make you understand an overridingly important lesson, namely ... Read More Rating:  - Dissapointed And Offended!Timothy Leary was and remains a very controversial icon of the counterculture movement. Though his research involved the use of widely stigmatized psychedelic substances, his legacy marked the progressive movement towards realizing the therapeutic and spiritual benefits of LSD. I genuinely admire his philisophical inquiries and beliefs however was greatly disapointed with this book. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS BOOK WHOLLY MISREPRESENTS TIMOTHY LEARY AND IN FACT CONDESCENDS HIS WORK. THE BOOK IS LITTERED WITH ... Read More Rating: - What Your Brain Is and What Your Brain Ain'tThe title of this book is rather misleading. I do not feel that the brain is God as much as it is an inlet as well as an outlet to all that there is in God. Just like a radio cannot play music without a transmitter a brain cannot think without the Mind. The brain and the Mind are not the same things. If the brain could think, it would keep on thinking after death, but the brain is merely an instrument the Mind uses. The use of psychedelics can give one a glimpse into the Higher realms of consciousness. ... Read More Rating: - Philosophy through confrontation with oneself...As substance induced psychedelia became almost a sweeping religion in the 60s certain great minds emerged that tried to conceptualise the goings on of that era and form them into new philosophies made of an amalgam of Eastern teachings, ancient western cosmotheories and modern realisations. Among the many in that effort was T.Leary. Most of his books are known to the lay public as nothing more than acid-promotion but the truth is that they are excellent philosophical endeavours of the trippiest kind. ... Read More
