Back in print after 20 years, this text from the earliest days of psychedelia chronicles the experiences on 16 acid trips taken before LSD was illegal. The trip guides or "high priests" included Aldous Huxley, Ram Dass, Ralph Meltzner, Huston Smith and a junkie from New York City named Willy. It tells of the goings-on and freaking out at the Millbrook mansion in New York State that became the Mecca of psychedelia during the 1960s, and of the many luminaries who made their pilgrimage there to trip with Leary and his group. Chapters include an I Ching reading and a chronicle of what happened during those "spacewalks" of the mind.

These 11 essays are the writings that galvanized the 60s youth revolution, written when Leary was at the peak of his popularity, influence and visionary intensity. The book opens with "Start Your Own Religion", revealing the true meaning of his immortal slogan "turn on, tune in, drop out", while "Neurological Politics" - the last essay - is a more scientific elaboration of the same theme.

Visionary Harvard psychologist Timothy Leary became the charismatic leader of the '60s counterculture. Remembered as a pioneer of research and experimentation with psychedelic substances, he was also an author, lecturer, political dissident, and media magnet whose wit and charm captured the world's attention. In this collection of essays from Leary's early career, he presents his concept of personal responsibility for the effects of one's behavior. According to Leary, self-determining people don't blame their parents, their race, or their society; they accept responsibility for their actions, which in turn determines the responses they get from the world. These writings had an enormous impact on the humanistic psychology movement and libertarian redefinition of the doctor-patient relationship. Ronin's new offering gives readers a fascinating glimpse into Leary's ground-breaking work in this area.

This book tells the inside story of Leary's early LSD research at Harvard. Known throughout the world as the guru who encouraged an entire generation to "turn on, tune in, and drop out," he draws on wit, humor, and skepticism to debunk the power of psychotherapy and to advocate reprogramming the brain with psychedelics. Discussing how various drugs affect the brain, how to change behavior, and how to develop creativity, he also delves into psychopharmacological catalyzing, fear of potential, symbol and language imprinting, and brain reimprinting with Hinduism, Buddhism, and LSD.

YOUR BRAIN IS GOD offers the inside story on how the Harvard-Millbrook psychedelic research project moved from the scientific to the religious arena. After professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert were expelled from Harvard, they came to understand that the US Constitution protected religious practice, but not scientific exploration. The only way in which consciousness-change experiences could be discussed was in terms of the philosophic-religious. The adventure that ensued is described here in Leary's own words.

Leary likens human society to that of insect hives and shows how certain evolutionary agents (mutants) are upsetting the hive and causing it to evolve. Eventually we will become the aliens. This book describes the struggle between the forces moving into the future and those attempting to stop change. While most people associate Leary solely with LSD, this fascinating discourse has little mention of drugs.
