Birth of a Psychedelic Culture, an extraordinary book, shines a
bright light on the emergence of the sixties culture and the
experiments with mind-altering substances undertaken by Professors
Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass) and then-Harvard graduate
student Ralph Metzner. Based on a series of con-versations between
Metzner and Ram Dass and recorded by psychiatrist and author Gary
Bravo, this book describes their initial experiments at Harvard,
the experiments after they were dismissed from Harvard, their
journeys to India and their reflections on that transformative era.
Birth of a Psychedelic Culture is filled with never before
published photographs. Luminaries who appear in this astonishing
account include: Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg, R.D. Laing, Charles
Mingus, Maynard Ferguson and William Burroughs, as well as many
lesser known personalities. These include convicts, graduate
students and Vedantist monks In addition to reviewing the
experiments, the conversations offer vividly-recalled descriptions
of particular "trips," with profound insights into the nature of
hallucinogens and the role they can play in transcending social
conditioning. Included in Birth of a Psychedelic Culture are
personal commentaries from some of the other players integral to
the scene: Peggy Hitchcock, the Mellon Foundation heiress; Dr.
George Litwin, Harvard professor and author; Dr. Gunther Weil,
psychologist and educator; Dr. Michael Kahn, clinical psychologist
and Professor Emeritus at USC, Santa Cruz; poet Dr. Elsa von
Eckartsberg; Dr. George Litwin, organizational behavior consultant;
Dr. Paul Lee, professor of philosopy and religion, UC Santa Cruz;
Dorothy Fadiman, award winning filmmaker; Lisa Ferguson, and many
others.
