The Psychedelic Experience, created by the prophetic shaman-professors Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzer and Richard Alpert, is a foundational text that serves as a model and a guide for all subsequent mind-expanding inquiries. In this wholly unique book, the authors provide an interpretation of an ancient sacred manuscript, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, from a psychedelic perspective. The Psychedelic Experience describes their discoveries in broadening spiritual consciousness through a combination of Tibetan mediation techniques and psychotropic substances.

Stanley Tucci narrates this documentary account of counter-culture pioneer Ken Kesey's 1960s trip across America in a psychedelically painted school bus. In 1964 Kesey, the author of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' and an advocate for the use of LSD since the time he volunteered to take part in a project studying the effects of the psychoactive drug, decided to travel across country to New York to fulfil a business engagement. Buying an old school bus they named 'Further', Kesey and his group of friends, known as 'The Merry Pranksters', embarked on a cross-country acid-fuelled road trip in an attempt to create art out of everyday life.

Dr. Leary explores the real issues of our time: Space Migration, Intelligence Increase and Life Extension in this manual on the use of the human nervous system according to the instructions of the manufacturers.

"The Info-Worlds our species will discover, create, explore and inhabit in the immediate future will not be reached from launch pads alone, but also through our personal computer screens."

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.

A leading figure of photorealist painting, Franz Gertsch (born 1930, Switzerland) has created monumental portraits of charismatic youths and meditative depictions of nature in vivid and pains- taking detail for over fifty years. Polyfocal Allover surveys Gertsch's paintings from 1970 to 1982 and woodcut prints from 1979 to 2019, reflecting a vision in which all that lies within the frame is accorded equal value. The essays, interviews, and conversations in this publication bring further definition to the lives and landscapes Gertsch renders with such virtuosic, eerie precision.

Writings that sparkle with the psychedelic revolution. The Politics of Ecstasy is Timothy Leary's most provocative and influential exploration of human consciousness, written during the period from his Harvard days to the Summer of Love. Includes his early pronouncements on the psychedelic movement and his views on social and political ramifications of psychedelic and mystical experience. Here is the outspoken Playboy interview revealing the sexual power of LSD-a statement that many believe played a key role in provoking Leary's incarceration by the authorities; an early outline of the neurological theory that became Leary's classic eight-circuit model of the human nervous system; an insightful exploration of the life and work of novelist Hermann Hesse; an effervescent dialogue with humorist Paul Krassner; and an impassioned defense of what Leary called "The Fifth Freedom"-the right to get high.

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.

Written while Leary was visiting India in 1965 and finished the following year, "Psychedelic Prayers" is an adaptation of Book 1 of the "Tao Te Ching". With a new Introduction by Ralph Metzner, Leary's Harvard colleague, this book of poetry and meditations is being published in its first new edition in 25 years. Illustrations/photos.

Joel Hershman writes and directs this cult American comedy. Spoiled heiress Twinkle (Sean Young) catches Bud (Max Parrish) stealing from her rich parents. Rather than stop him she aids him on the condition that he travels with her to Las Vegas and marries her. However, even with a gun to his head at the altar, Bud is unable to say 'I do' and a struggle occurs in which the gun goes off.

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.

Eagerly awaited and long out of print, this new edition is already an instant hit! Written in the 70's with all the influence of the wild and wonderful 60's, The Game Of Life reflects the depth of mind of one of the unique human beings of this century. Extensively illustrated

This is Dr Leary's only novel designed to provide a psychedelic television experience to the reader. There are four ongoing soap-opera mini-dramas. These are interwoven with commercials, special parody announcements, and mini-documentaries. The viewer is encouraged to flip from channel to channel (chapter to chapter). The central plot is the Quixotic saga of an evolutionary agent, Dylan, a confused but sincere minstrel. He has been assigned to a primitive planet in the latter years of the Roaring 20th Century to perform those small but precise jiggles needed to cause chaos in the old, outmoded gene-pools, thus allowing creative individuals to start exploring and settling the next habitats. Dylan's mission is none other than to rediscover what woman really wants. During his extraordinary life, Dr Leary was known as a world-renowned psychologist, a student at West point, a defrocked Harvard professor, a hero, a relentless champion of brain-change, a counterculture guru, a stand-up philosopher, a prisoner of the U.S. Federal Government, a developer of computer software, friend to such notables as Aldous Huxley, William S Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, described as "the most dangerous man in America" by President Richard Nixon, and he was an inspiration for millions of freedom-loving and free-thinking people throughout the world.

This timely book, Timothy Leary's "cyberpunk manifesto," is his future-vision of the emergence of a new humanism with an emphasis on questioning authority, independent thinking, individual creativity, and empowerment via computers and brain technologies. "Cyberpunks" brings together some of Leary's most provocative writings, along with selections from interviews and conversations with a variety of writers and thinkers. Individual chapters include "How I Became an Amphibian," "Personal Computers; Personal Freedom," and "Navigational Game Plane." "How to Boot Up Your Bio-Computer" typifies Leary's outrageous yet surprisingly grounded ideas, linking pagan, nature-based rituals with a "collective boot-up" of the brain through stimulation from certain natural plants. Together, these pieces describe a new breed of human being who embraces technology, uses it to revolutionize communication and evade and annoy Big Brother, while at the same time achieving personal success, attaining political power, and above all, having fun.

In 1987 at Timothy Leary's house in Beverly Hills, California, Tim and Dr Christopher S Hyatt got together and made this recording. But the cassette went missing for over 20 years and just recently resurfaced! Their discussion is fascinating on many levels. Among other things, you might note how these two very talented people brainstorm the then-upcoming re-release of Tim's "Future History Series: Exo-Psychology" (redone as "Info-Psychology"), "Neuropolitics" (retitled "Neuropolitique"), "The Game of Life", "Intelligence Agents", and "What Does WoMan Want?" Some of the ideas came to fruition, some did not. Such is the nature of the creative process...

The first version of this book was written between 1973-1976 when Dr. Leary was in prison. Indeed, several chapters were composed during solitary confinement. Dated? Of course not; this is Timothy Leary! Dr. Leary explores the role of the dissident/philosopher and offers a multitude of brilliant observations on our past, present and, especially, our future. One of his best. Timothy Leary, Ph.D. was a world-renowned psychologist, a defrocked Harvard professor, a relentless champion of brain change, a reputed drug guru, a stand-up philosopher, and a prisoner of the Nixon administration. He has been called 'the most dangerous man on the planet.'

In this brief, lively book of reminiscences, the man Allen Ginsberg called "a hero of American consciousness" describes his transformation from bohemian professor to avatar of the new age. In his typically wry, provocative style, Timothy Leary gives firsthand accounts of his interrogation before Congress, Robert F. Kennedy's LSD use, his own flamboyant campaign for governor of California, and much more.

Death is increasingly on the agenda for baby boomers moving ever closer to it. Timothy Leary brings some startlingly fresh ideas to this topic. Fundamentally, he claims, we have been brainwashed by our institutions -- government, organized religion, the healthcare industry -- to accept death as an inevitable end. Leary argues instead that death is misunderstood, that we don't "have" to die, and that there are "commonsense alternatives." His theory rests on the transhumanist approach that says human beings are evolving into spiritual machines -- beings that are part human and part machine and eventually will not die as the term is commonly understood. Being fitted with machine parts like bionic knees is part of this process. And as we evolve through the cybernetic age, he says, we will gain new wisdom that broadens our definition of personal immortality and gene-pool survival -- the "postbiologic option of the information species."
