Timothy Leary's Visions of the Erotic Life Prt 1

#Timothyleary #1960s #Psychedelic

MY OWN NOTES: Timothy Leary was born at 10:45am on Oct. 22nd, 1920.

Here are some of Leary's crucial Astrological aspects:
Year of the METAL MONKEY. Sagittarius Asc, Jupiter in Virgo (9th House!).

This 1st of 2 epic lectures comes from a RARE Berkeley lecture, spoken in 1969 by the counter-culture hero and Harvard psychologist-come-pseudo-scientific spiritual guru, Timothy Leary.

These lectures present a rare and quite illuminating picture of the nature of this genius man's mind, as well as the general mind of audiences at the time, who were (and still are!) trying to decipher the psychedelic, celestial star-seed code which Timothy was the mouthpiece for.

Timothy was a seedbearer of 'futique' visions, and he had a biologist's knack for grounding his incredible insights. He deciphered very tricky sexual and mystical astral-energy concepts in a sound scientific and pragmatic paradigm, which people could really understand and relate to, even in the 60's, which was comparatively simple and primitive compared to today.

Notes from the Website where the full lecture can be found:

In 1969, Berkeley, California was the epicenter of the counter-culture and Timothy Leary was its oracle. It was also the zenith of the Free Speech Movement in Berkeley, which attracted free thinkers, visionaries, and exhibitionists alike offering non-stop debate and discussion on counter-cultural themes. Here, Leary found himself greeted as a prophet. After all, he was planning to stand for Governor of California against Ronald Reagan. The Leary Lectures in February 1969 were highly charged with expectant human energy and emotion. The crowds asked: What should we do? Where shall we go? Even: How do we live ‘divine love’?

The two lectures preserved in this set are classic examples of the spirit of the time. Leary spins his vision of how psychedelic drugs foster breaking through the hedonic gap, the threshold between reward and punishment purgatory and the heaven, or hell, of one’s karmic and genetic inheritance. As a proponent of the ‘erotization’ of all personal experience, he speaks to the counter-culture’s desire to understand the spiritual imperative of the drug experience.

(Note that part 1 and 2 of the lecture presented here is ONLY ONE OF TWO LECTURES presented in the CD (available for purchase online), "Visions of the erotic life." This youtube video excerpt has been edited to remove the extra questions and the famous "Electric circus" held at the time, where Tim opened the floor for statements to be made by anyone wondering about the nature of Leary's lectures, which have some interesting historical bits thrown in.
