does anyone know of any good books about timothy leary and his experiences with lds?

thank you

 

Read The Psychedelic Experience, although he doesn't talk about his own experiences but rather helps you for yours. I've heard Acid Dreams is another good done by him. read The Doors of Perception. It isn't by Timothy Leary it's by Aldous Huxley and his experiences with mescaline. Really good, critically acclaimed, essay type book.

 

thanks, will check them out, have always been curious about the connection between timothy leary and the mormon church

 

Don't forget "Electric Cool-aid acid Test"for related material.

 

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kelsey isn't about Leary, but the guy who wrote it based it on his experiences with people experimenting with lsd....Pretty much what you're looking for, just not leary

 

Playboy, August 1974

 

tim leary was a mormon...?

 

i read that book and there is nothing about lds in the book. there is the mention of "further" traveling to millbrook to see leary

 

The major evolutionary step is taken when the individual says: "There is only one God who creates the universe. This God is my Brain. As the driver of this Brain I have created a universe in which there are innumerable other Gods of equal post-hive autonomy with whom I seek to interest. And my universe was, itself, created by a Higher Level of Divinity—DNA, whose mysteries and wonders I seek to understand and harmonize with." From The Intelligence Agents by Dr. Timothy Leary, Ph.D.

I think this may explain Leary's position on the Mormons. He also said "Beware of Monotheism".

 

lds?thought you meant lsd.

 

thanks for the info that timothy leary dropped lds and went onto another spiritual path

 

i searched but couldn't find

 

Dude

ACID DREAMS: Social history of LSD. Best book ever hands down

 

sorry but i have to believe a south park episode "All About The Mormons" is the best expose' on lds
