He was a psychologist in the 40's and 50's.
He was introduced to lsd in the 60's, saw how it can be used to help mental illness, and dedicated his life to its advancement for constructive use.

Arrested in 66, sent to prison. Escaped from prison in 70. Recaptured in Switzerland in 1973(I think?) released in '76 he foresaw the computer revolution, wrote 'puter software in the 80's and lectured on technology.

He was a brilliant, versatile man who saw deep philosophies as simple truths.

Here's a realplayer movie that's pretty trippy but you can listen to him.
Its called 'reprogram your brain'

man that is a fuckin awesome video

[carpet cleaner]

never forget

[DarkLunacy]

His messages were zealouslly glorified and the meaning was lost to many. Many people think he condoned constant intoxication on hallucigenics but this was not so. He wanted them to be used constructivlly (as said) and for the good of humanity. Not as a doorway to get wasted. Whatever happened to the Leauge of Scientific Discovery or whatever it was called. I know the mansion got busted but I never found much about after that

Woah...
