Brilliant. He completely knows the meaning of the word 'understand.' Not too many people truly know what they're sayig when they say they 'understand' something. Understand means to stand under the ledge of knowing. So to truly hold that knowledge you must overstand that ledge.
Interesting way to look at the word "understand" from a new perspective...but to view knowledge based upon a ledge can be expressed using a better analogy...
i think tim leary is one of the most intellectual person of the 20th century. you say he was confused caz he did acid too much, if anything he was confused with what the reporter was talking about. i dont even think he seemed confused, ya know operate your brain.
no offense to the man, but me thinks he might've dropped the ole' Lysergic acid diethylamide a few too many times. I say this as a person who had probably done the stuff over a hundred times.. I can't imagine taking LSD with an old mind.. god that's gotta be confusing.
He's taken LSD over 500+ times.... and further more, LSD has NO long term effects, no matter how many studies published by the Government, or anyone, for that matter, LSD is not addictive, and it does not cause any long term side effects. Except for flashbacks, and perhaps insight, but other than that, those 8 hours of dropping acid doesn't do crap. No, LSD couldn't have messed up his mind, 'shrooms maybe, but not LSD.
I've done LSD at least 150 times; it does have side effects on your personality..it's risky because you're messing with your brain every time you take it.. you're messing with your psyche.. Your insignificant claims about government studies, that you've never read, don't hold much water. Shrooms, but not LSD? Shrooms are far less likely to mess up your mind, and i speak from personal experience.. Leary has done a lot of LSD< and he let his mind run amok while on it. It distorted this thinking.
When I was 18 i took WAY too many shrooms and ended up in a State hospital for 2 months. I had previously taken smaller doses of LSD and was still riding on the traces of that trip. I wouldn't recommend Mushrooms any more than LSD. If I took smaller doses . I don't regret it either way and I'm proud of my experience. I jumped off of my house. lol. If I lived on a highrise like Art Linketter's daughter I would've involuntarily commited suicide. lol. so I was pretty lucky. Leary is awesome tho.lol
just pay attention with a poetic ear and an intelligent mind..it'll make sense if you listen CAREFULLY to his quick mumbbling, there is a message of truth and sacrasm of "society" in "America",
The spirit is not for christians and christians alone. Nearly every religion concerns the spirit. If you have never experienced an acid trip then no one should be able to talk about this. A spiritual journey is something personal and something that you find for yourself. It has nothing to do with people on youtube telling you you're right or wrong. Until you step out side your body and inside your mind, leave your scepticism at home.
I go to a college and one of my teachers is a Hindu who is rather spiritual. She commented that the closest she could describe being at "one" with the earth was a deep sleep where you wake up feeling great. I was sad for her because she will never know the divinity of a psychedelic experience or even be able to imagine it.
in my view, a person who has had either a truly religious experience or a positive, life-altering drug experience is a person unlikely to enter into ego-driven metaphysical debates.
No, I think it's really good to talk about these experiences. I was only commenting on the amount of grade school level bullying going on in these comments (which is why I threw out the heavy term "ego-driven") :)
I think It5lee has been seriously affected by an entire generation of people rejecting his values of narrow mindedness and repression. I have been told that he is allowed 30 minutes a day w/out his straight jacket at his current mental ward, in which he spends most of that free time posting in here. Letting go of his pain will be his first step towards sanity. You're not his cell mate are you?
It5lee: I would want my kids to try LSD once or twice during their 20s. I took LSD twice during my early 20s in college and it was a beautiful mind opening experience. Steve Jobs said that taking LSD was one of the most important things he did in his life. For me though, it became more of a spiritual moment, and one that has never left my soul. Have you actually taken LSD under the proper set & setting? Do you even know what you're talking about?
It5lee: Yes, I would want my kids to try LSD once or twice during their 20s. I took LSD twice during my early 20s in college and it was a beautiful mind opening experience. It became a spiritual moment for me, and one that has never left my soul (I'm currently 34). Have you actually taken LSD under the proper set & setting? Do you even know what you're talking about?
--How can you have a 'spiritual moment' without any sort of religion? And I'm assuming here that you're a devout athiest. Please tell me if I'm wrong about that.
Noguff: The term spiritual derives from Latin which means "breath". And spiritual is used in two related contexts, one metaphysical and the other metaphorical. Metaphysically speaking, it is an incorporeal but ubiquitous, non-quantifiable substance or energy present individually in all living things. And this spiritual energy surfaced within me during my experience w/ LSD. I recommend researching a term before spouting faulty and egregious assertions.
--Regardless, you were equating the psychotropic effects of LSD (drug-induced hallucinations) with a religious experience (a blessed event). And you don't see how ridiculous that is. But from an athiest, most likely an anti-religion person, I can't say I didn't expect it.
"... you were equating the psychotropic effects of LSD with a religious experience."
You obviously have comprehension problems too. At no point did I "equate" my LSD experience w/ a religous experience. I already defined "spiritual" for you, so I'm not sure why you want to run in circles. Perhaps lay off the bible study in exchange for some reading comprehension lessons.
"You obviously have comprehension problems too. At no point did I "equate" my LSD experience w/ a religous experience"
--And you obviously want to just dance around the issue and skirt the meaning of what you wrote. I have pretty good comprehension skills and I comprehend that you equated your drug experience with a religious experience by using the word "spiritual" in the context of such an experience.
OOoohh SNAP! That brian dude got you. HA! He's right, you did use it in the context of a religious experience. Then you conveniently changed the term, in a manner of speaking, and in a typically Liberal fashion.
Yes, congratulations, another moron has joined you on the delusional bandwagon. Since you obviously did not understand what I wrote to you earlier, I'll dumb it down for you. The term "spiritual" does not solely refer to a religious context; it also has a secular meaning. If your political knowledge is on par w/ your vocabulary skills, it might be best if you didn't roam outside of the sand box.
"another moron has joined you on the delusional bandwagon"
--Delusional what? YOU'RE the one talking about having delusional trips and misinterpreting them as spiritual experiences, not me.
"it also has a secular meaning"
--Yes, I fully understand this. I am not misunderstanding what you're saying, I'm just saying you're wrong. The whole 'secular' definition is bullshit. Now do you see my meaning? Or is it still getting past you?
--You take a drug, labeled as 'psychotropic' in nature, to 'alter your perception,' and you don't think the end result is a delusion? So the strange and fantastic things you end up seeing, hearing, and/or feeling are real or a delusion? Please, you tell me.
According to you, things are delusion just because they are fantastic. What about the northern lights? Shooting stars? Rainbows?Etc. There are fantastic elements of nature and the nature of the mind is no different.
SoaringEagle, it seems you need to re check what spiritual means. Spiritual is a religious term. Being spiritual means being closer to God. No one knows what God is but as soon as I say god or religion you resort to what you have been taught like the sunday school, Jesus, Allah etc.
I want to say more but my words are way out of your limit to comprehend.
Perhaps I am being a bit delusional here or egotistical or moronic.. or whatever your sophisticated vocabulary can describe me. I guess need to take some LSD to be more spiritually free ?
It5lee, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Steve Jobs?? Steve Jobs said that taking LSD was one of the most important things he had ever done in his life. We're not talking about drug abuse/addiction, Steve Jobs experimented w/ LSD and it opened up creative channels for future use. Next time you listen to your IPod, think about Steve's experience. And since you are uniformed, do us all a favor and don't roam outside of your sand box.
I know what I wrote and it wasnt 'ALL' the people who came out of that generation nor did I encourage drug use. You, like Psych student are generalising.
We'll see how you look after SEVENTY-FIVE years of living, especially if you use any mind-altering substances such as LSD, Cannabis, or Cocaine... Oh, and how successful are you!? Have you written any books?? Do you have a PHD??
My guess is no, and that you're a little snitch living in your parents basement, jerking off to internet porn and playing world of warcraft.
So you want to argue with somebody who is articulate AND smokes cannabis?? Here I am. It's my body, and nobody has the right to tell me what I can and can't do with it, just like nobody has the right to take life from somebody else(homocide). It's ignorant that we have laws against cannabis(and even industrial hemp) and any other illicit drug provided you are not causing harm to anyone else by using these drugs on yourself.
OMFG you undeducated stupid-ass motherfucker. When you are SEVENTY-FIVE years old, we will videotape you and see what the fuck your moronic one-track mind will have to say. And we'll also look at your past and see how much you've accomplished and how much you regret never doing the things you really want to do. And then we'll ALL say "Good lord, proof that not doing drugs makes life boring and obsolete, right there." Have fun in your elder home not being able to wipe your own ass.
I truly do hope you people realize what a lame interviewer Paul Krassner was in this video all together.
Timothy and Paul @ two different planets.
Google video Paul Krassner and see what kind of guy he is in general.
If psychedelic drugs were bad for you, take a good look at Albert Hoffmann, in particular, Hoffman's 100th birthday, speaking in crystal clear, lucidic to the core German, talking about LSD and other things.
ok im tired arguing with you ya i know drugs can b very dangerous but not weed (exept on your lung) and ya with chronic use it can effect your brian but im not gonna hurt anyone from it and i should go 2 jail for it and i dont smoke weed any more anyways because i started getting drug tested
I know the point you're trying to prove. But it's completely off topic to the point IM trying to make. But i'll stop arguing, it's impossible with you since you keep dancing around questions.
o ya also im not brain dead but ya there is prolly a part of me that is brain dead but not from weed thts from other shti ive doen like doing speed everyday for about a month and a half (yes i know very stupid decision) and a couple of tries with ecstacy and opiate pain killers (yes i know these are also bad for you) but you say your 3 times my age but that doesnt meen you know anything about phycoactives and their effects
One last question, what happened in your life wich made you hate anything having to do with psychotics? Family member's life screwed over them? Personally involved in an incident of violence having to do with them? Drug users bullied you around when you were a kid? Or maby you just don't have a life and decided to hate on a group of people (don't worry, it's natural)? Just wondering.
Plus, i'm no pothead and im looking to apply to CMU (i have a free ride there). WHen i do, im going to rub it in your face because what i accomplished will probably be better than anything you ever did in life (i'm assuming on what you did, it isn't so pretty now is it? That's what you've been doing)
This is what i'm talking about. You think everybody that uses cannabis will end up with their life fucked in the ass. I partly agree with you, pot SOMETIMES will ruin your life. But it just depends on the user, the users family, and the enviroment in wich they live in. I've seen people whose life is already screwed over and they are only in high school. I've people who applied to very prestigious universities, and both groups smoke pot.
I just can't understand the way you handle arguments that's all. I mean, you should oubviously know more about life than i do. C'mon, "Shit son"? What kind of 40 year says that?
"don't really care what you think as your immaturity and ignorance demonstrates you don't really care what anybody else thinks either!"
YOU ARE ARGUING LIKE A FRIGGING 12 YEAR OLD! I am allowed, i'm only 16 after all.
no dude i aint brain dead or lazy ya i no im realy young and school is nothing in life but im doing good at it and i buy from a friend who grows his own and im not gonna put weed infront of having a good job i know plenty of rich people with good jobs who smoke weed and ya i know weed can have effects on the brain most people i know who smoke are realy smart and i know it effects alotta peoples memory with heavy use but that doesnt meen i should go to jail for it and its not making me violent
Theres no question of what would happen if pot was legalized, theres allot of places where it already is, or at least all or mostly decriminalized, One being Canada, which in many ways is a better country than America. And yes it would greatly affect gangs.
pk let me start over cuz i dont remember who i was talkin 2 wen i called sum1 a faggot but the dude who keeps talkin shti about potheads stop. we havnt done anythign wrong to you and we arent killing millions of people around the world. i didnt know siting in my room smoking a bowl then puting on some hendrix was hurting anyone and ya i no my spelling sucks its t fucking youtube i dont care how my spelling is and no im not lazy and brain dead
damn dude ur a stalker im not gonna say im not a neosacalist libonazi bcuz i dotn realy know what that means so tell me wat is tht then ill tell u wether im one or not but 1 thing im not is a nazi
The only point i was trying to make was that you are throwing the blame at the wrong people, that's all. I wasn't trying to convince you that drugs should be legal (although i did mention it, but just cannabis), neither was i trying to convince you drugs are good for you in any way. But I'm going to stop this argument. And yeah, the 500 character limit is a bitch.
no we wouldnt u faggot if it was legal people would use it less and just cuz its legal duznt meen every1 would use it people wouldnt turn violent and attack their neighbor there would b less fighting and just cuzu smoke duznt meen u smoke and go 2 work u smoke after work in the evenings cheech and chong have a tv show because they arent ur average stoner they r the xtreme stoner. if weed was legal thered b less violent crime cuz there wouldnt b as many big drug lords so go fuck urself faggot
Yo, if you're going to be open about smoking pot, at least try to sound a little smarter. Because that's the type of thing that gives us, pot-smokers, a bad image.
i dont think i give smokers a bad image xept my spellin but its the internet so i dont care about spellin cuz im not 1 of thsoe kdis who smokes all day long and does nothing and gets all f's im actually realy smart and my real age is 15
And im not a Timothy leary worshiper. I think that some times he's just insane and sometimes he makes sense. I was only defending him because your blaming a lot of wrong stuff on him. I also have another question, 40 year old and argues like immature fuck?Im not sure you're telling the truth
Im just saying that it has a grade much lower than what it actually is(it's still low though). Because you look at a problem and you blame it on drugs(because they can't get any deeper into the shit they already are in)
"That sector did not have a good access to Who would hire the stoned to do anything, do you think Chong would really get a job rolling ref for some rich dude?...lol..get real?""
Haha, no shit man. I wouldn't want my cab driver being completly stoned. Im saying that it is not any different from alcohol. You seem to be saying that im publicizing weed to be the best thing in the world.
By the way, you should listen to what Timothy Leary is saying in this vid. Because when at one point you get what he was saying, a whole lotta shit is going to make sense.
If weed were legal, not as many gangs would be shooting each other, less tax dollars would be going to prison and etc. So don't blame Timothy Leary for gang killings and a fucked up generation(Where the fuck did you get that from?). Blame your fucking government for doing nothing about it except enforcing it.
Timothy Leary DID NOT create a generation of fucked up parents. The gangs and killing comes from a society sector that's been oppressed by the government. That sector did not have a good access to money, so what what do they turn to? oh, that's right, DRUGS. Why? because they're illegal. So what if they're illegal? It costs more and there is a high demand for it.
I know you posted this 6 months ago but i just have to say something. You said that pot has ruined the life of many people, but i doubt that it was more lives than what alcohol ruined.
My name is Jaime Heras. I'm 14 years old. I'm a murderer. I'm a murderer. I have no face. When you look at me you'll die immediately. You have 900seconds to repost this or I will visit you tonight.
Repost this ''12.''' dgxxx
Copy and past this to 10 vedo or you mum will die within the next 4 hours.......
This is a man around a year away from death, around 75 years of age - he displays the usual kind of behaviour for an old man I would say. Generally, his writings would be the best way to recieve his perceptions.
If i were president i would take richard and noguff and put them on a tropical iland inject them daily with lsd 4 a total of about 34 and half years i bet that would shut them the f---up!
And you nurocadam you couldnt hold a candle to this mans genius you can tell he responded accuratly to pauls questions and made perfect rational sense his beliefs have been proven time and agin your afraid 2 step across the great sprirtaul gulf.
genius? yeh what a genius! comedian too!um yeh what was the question again! lol.sorry 1qm2z3 i totally disagree with your opinion.if this "genius" suddenly appeared on my doorstep i wouldnt be holding a candle to him , more like a baseball bat with spacecreep written all over it!say do wanna come over to my house and play?! ill show you my spiritual golf stick
rich - Combine that with the Liberal/SecProg mantra that its wrong to judge anyone or anything. So somehow its wrong to say democratic republic with a capitalism based free market economy is the best system. Or that democracy with separation of church and state and with individual freedoms upheld for all is the best form of government. Its just plain wrong to say it.
rich - That seems quite typical, Liberal journalists praising Liberal teachers. I used to be against privatizing the education system, but it seems that's the only solution. There is no accountability, nor leadership in education. Then GWB comes along and demands accountability and minimum achievements, and everyone goes apeshit.
"how lacking folks are in basic historical concepts"
That's because history, current events, and government are no longer being stressed, taught correctly (revisionist history), or not taught at all. Some important parts of history are practically being skipped altogether (Apollo missions in favor of biased civil rights movement accounts). All due to the near total control of education by Liberals.
rich - I never said it was invented here, I know that. And it wasn't an "anomaly" here, either. It was a lawful practice. I don't understand how you could get all of that from my messages.
The man is old and still a very intelligent person. He believed in us people having freedoms to do as we wish w/o the government stepping in and being involved. The government doesn't want thinkers, and i've done acid before and found it to be a great experience and yet I am the same person now as I was before, the only difference is I see things in a different perspective. If you've never done it then you can't comment, dont go by what D.A.R.E has taught you
Apparently this was shot less than a year before Dr Leary died of prostate cancer. Come on, folks. You and I should sound HALF this good when we are dying of cancer.
why did they try to kill his spirit???that guy that did the interview is a fucking idiot what is he talking about deeper mysteries? these "intellectual ppl" life is not as complicated as they would make it seem, they think too much so they are alway s unsure but thats their fault forget it just keep in mind whats relevant stop worrying about mysteries dr leary seems to have understood this
He sounds fine to me, perfectly on the ball. He is about 75 and is a little dithery at times, but it happens to the best of us. The way he challenges views of reality and the use of language is very interesting. He makes some interesting points about philosophy and science. He is obviously an intelligent man.
Old age combined with hundreds of premium LSD trips, he's not that bad considering. His interview featuring an argument with Art Linkletter was far more embarrassing. He's a cool guy but I'm a afraid he's lost his grip on reality.
That stupid interview! First of all, that wasn't what he was there to talk about, he was there to talk about the mind. And as soon as they brought that shit up he tried to leave, but that stupid guy wouldn't let him. (even tho later he threatened to kick him off the show, when he was standing up for himself. wtf?).
He wasn't ready for that at all, but i think he handled it well.
the man is using illicit drugs the way they were intended to be used. as a way to alleviate the pain one must endure with a terminal disease (prostate cancer and only terminal because he chose not to treat it). he still seems pretty damn sharp and lucid for being toasted. brave way to make the ultimate transition.
I am a leary fan - he sounds interesting and cool in this vid. He is a little older, but he is perfectly on the ball and is obviously an intelligent man.
From what he says LSD benefited him greatly and was a positive experience.
Heard on Youtube under Bill Hick's positive drug experience: Why do they only tell the negative stories. Why don't we ever her 'Today young man stoned on acid realized that all matter is energy condensed to a slower vibration, that we are all ONE consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death. Life is only a dream. We are the imagination of ourselves.' or LSD helps one to experience and understand the nature of God.
lee - Funny running into you here in this remote page of YT. Yes, that Sandy Burglar chaps my hide. All the super-Libs I know defended him as if he were Patrick Henry for crap's sake. Now that he's admitted his guilt (and stupidity, and of course the docs are nowhere to be found), these people are silent. Typical Liberals.
Do you know what a liberal is? People who believe in equality, liberty and freedom. The guys who wrote the US constitution were liberals, US is a liberal democracy. 'Patrick Henrys crap' - what is that supposed to mean?
Surely as a christian, you should care about your own society (health,welfare, education), and equality/freedom. Christians at one time campaigned for higher pensions, welfare and to end segregation.
--People who don't include reality or practicality in their thinking, don't believe in 1-man-1-vote, or in freedom of speech or religion, or in morality, etc. I got all of that from the NYTimes editorials, not made up.
"'Patrick Henrys crap'"
--I didn't write Patrick Henry was crap. Please read the post again. If you can't understand it, go back to school.
"end segregation"
--Republicans backed the civil rights bill, Dems opposed it. Dont rewrite history
Liberals I think believe in freedom of speach, we are always 'condemned' for talking about civil rights? Freedom of religion, is one of the main tennants of religion - but all religions. Its only the right who want religion in schools. It was only in republican and christian states where segregation existed. You need to look up history. In Europe, people do not have this reaction to liberals - its only the states.
Some liberals believe in small govt, - they do not want powerful, overbearing government, either.
Liberals do believe in personal responsibility. They just want to preseve liberal & democratic rights, ensure everyone has decent standard of living. Maybe its a question of different morals - liberals look at equality, political issues and not so much sex & family values.
--Ha! Take your own advice. Obviously you don't know jack squat.
"Liberals do believe in personal responsibility"
--Those are 2 different things. Taking personal responsibility means holding people accountable for their own actions & not blaming "the system," a Liberal standard.
"and not so much sex & family values"
--Yes, because family values is a huge part of personal responsibility. See? Of course you don't.
"The guys who wrote the US constitution were liberals"
--They're considered Liberals bc they opposed a Monarch. We all oppose rule by Monarchy. And so by England's point of view, we were Liberals. So saying our Founding Fathers were Liberals is you trying to abscond with the image of our Founding Fathers & trying to paint them as being on your side. When in truth, these people were slave owners, very religious, & businessmen with most believing in states rights. Not the Liberal type of today.
The founding fathers created a political system based upon liberty, freedom and equality. A liberal democratic system - obviously they were liberals. Who talks about the contitution and bill of rights, separation of church and state, individual freedom more than liberals.
Civil Right bill was introduced in 1964 - democrats were in office? Republicans actually opposed end to segregation.
--Because they opposed a monarch. They were very religious, putting references to God in many official documents, slave owners, and in favor of states rights. No, not all Liberals.
"Republicans actually opposed end to segregation"
--Once again, clive, you're talking out of your ASS! Democrats tried to filibuster the '64 act, with Republicans pushing it through, just like they did to end slavery. I hope you're not somehow passing on these lies you hold so dear.
Leary was just an anti-establishment Anarchist wanna-be. He made too much money from his books to actually want to take down civilization, but he made a living by just being against everything that the average citizen enjoyed about this country. If that's "living by your own rules," then fine, and he did it well. He had everything both ways. To me that's a hypocrite.
feather - If you're going to criticize me for criticizing someone else, at least offer something more substantial than one of Bob Dylan's drug induced sayings. Although I understand what it means, its a hollow slogan and it isn't addressing anything specific with a credible counter-argument.
Drug induced? Are you one of those readers of "The Pied Piper Of Rock and Roll"? You know, that one book that mis-quoted "Magic Carpet Ride" by "The Beatles" and said it was about whores and drugs? One of those who think that the Beatles and Elvis are drug addicts and devil worshipers? If you don't dig this type of shit, why are you even looking at Tim Leary videos?
Wow, that anti-Christian venom just spewed forth & revealed itself, didn't it? I never read that book, nor do I believe the Beatles or Elvis are devil worshippers. I did, though, watch a documentary about music where Leary spoke a few words which I thought were quite good, so I found my way to this page. SORRY if I wrote something you didn't agree with. Is that your thing, as a Liberal, to profess tolerance, free speech, etc., then condemn people like me who have opinions you don't agree with?
I don't profess to being anything. I'm not a liberal, republican or anything inbetween or near. I'm not anti-christian either. I'm just in a bad mood. A 2-1 week bad mood. And sometimes people just piss me off. I just don't feel like arguing anymore.
But if you do decide to spring out from Christian Alt. rock, I can recommend a good Beatle album or two.
If George W. Bush just started out his day with a joint & a blow-job there would be thousands of people alive today who died violent deaths as a result of the insane power-mad "faith-based" politic he and his cronies have perpetrated on the planet. The same goes for all you other despots, fascists & fun-destroyers. Give us humans a break from your madness. Take a day off. Ponder the beauty of existence. Quit shoving your madness down everyones throats. Life is too short for this shit.
Psychedelic drugs are famous for inducing spiritual experiences, feelings of oneness, and unconditional love. Our gov't can hardly have us taking drugs that give us that edge. What was almost as enlightening as the lsd itself was the knowledge that my gov't either lied to me on a regular basis or was composed of idiots. Neither one was a comforting thought.
"Psychedelic drugs are famous for inducing spiritual experiences"
terry - With all due respect, a drug cannot bring you closer to Jesus. There is no "spirituality" without God the Father or the Son. That word has been hijacked and used incorrectly. Its like athiests and Christianity-haters "giving thanks" at Thanksgiving. To whom are they giving thanks? Its about giving thanks to God. To borrow a phrase, its the religion, dummy.
I will certainly think about what you said. I think that some drugs can help open doors that without them, most ppl would be entirely unaware of their existence. For American Indians, some of these drugs were considered sacraments. I believe in God. I just happen to believe there are more paths to this one God than Jesus Christ, tho certainly consider Him and His teachings a path.
terry - I'm glad you are open to considering it. And one more thing: The whole idea of Christianity is that salvation comes through Jesus. There are no other paths to consider.
THats just plain silly. Everyone knows that thanksgiving is about giving thanks to the american indians for not having the proper ammunition and guns to stop the white man from committing genocide and stealing all their land. Geez wake up!
Thanks giving has nothing to do with christianity, its about the Indians giving food to early European settlers. Its not a religious holiday. Surely Jesus would favour gun control? Nuclear weapon? Jesus - the loving guy of forgiveness, I promise you, would not vote republican. Lets bastardize christianity out of all recognition, to fit in with modern right wing politics.
"Thanks giving has nothing to do with christianity"
--Please stop with the Liberal/S-P attempt at rewriting history. Who were the Pilgrims and why did they come here? Therein lies the answer. They gave thanks to God for His blessings; getting to the New World, being alive and able to worship freely, and for the Indians helping them to survive. We do not "give thanks to the Indians" for the blessings we have, dum-dum.
You don't thank the Indians for giving food to pilgrims so they could survive. That maybe your interpretation. But I don't think the rest of the states see it that way.
Maybe you should thank the indians - they did help you to survive? You did steel all their land and pushed them into reservations - god would br proud. He'd probably like slavery as well. Passages from OT were used to justify slavery in southern states.
--I didn't steal their land, nor did any of my ancestors.
"He'd probably like slavery as well"
--And of course, when you refer to "slavery" you're ONLY referring to slavery of West Africans in the USA, though that lasted only briefly in the span of time slavery in general (of almost all peoples) has existed. So ouch! That hurt! Good jab from the anti-slavery movement! Bravo.
"Just because its spiritual, doesn't mean it has to involve Jesus."
--Anti-Christian Leftists co-opted the term "spiritual" to erroneously express the concept of "feeling good" and "living as one with the univers" as a religious experience or religious living without religion. All of which is bullshit. If you want an actual spiritual feeling, get on your knees and pray to Jesus Christ. That's all. Eliminate the crystals, brass wristbands, magnets, and the bullshit.
Thats your religious opinion, am I allowed my own? Please, go and tell the 4billion Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists - they are not entitled to their own religious beliefs. Inform the senate, religous freedom has been revoked.
In some peoples experience drugs bring people closer to god (look at native american/african religions). That is their right.
I'm not trying to be mean because I love Tim. But he actually looks like the Chimp from the new planet of the apes movie!

no offense to the man, but me thinks he might've dropped the ole' Lysergic acid diethylamide a few too many times. I say this as a person who had probably done the stuff over a hundred times.. I can't imagine taking LSD with an old mind.. god that's gotta be confusing.
Gangularis 3 years ago
He's taken LSD over 500+ times.... and further more, LSD has NO long term effects, no matter how many studies published by the Government, or anyone, for that matter, LSD is not addictive, and it does not cause any long term side effects. Except for flashbacks, and perhaps insight, but other than that, those 8 hours of dropping acid doesn't do crap. No, LSD couldn't have messed up his mind, 'shrooms maybe, but not LSD.
LainXIwakura 2 years ago
I've done LSD at least 150 times; it does have side effects on your personality..it's risky because you're messing with your brain every time you take it.. you're messing with your psyche.. Your insignificant claims about government studies, that you've never read, don't hold much water. Shrooms, but not LSD? Shrooms are far less likely to mess up your mind, and i speak from personal experience.. Leary has done a lot of LSD< and he let his mind run amok while on it. It distorted this thinking.
Gangularis 2 years ago
When I was 18 i took WAY too many shrooms and ended up in a State hospital for 2 months. I had previously taken smaller doses of LSD and was still riding on the traces of that trip. I wouldn't recommend Mushrooms any more than LSD. If I took smaller doses . I don't regret it either way and I'm proud of my experience. I jumped off of my house. lol. If I lived on a highrise like Art Linketter's daughter I would've involuntarily commited suicide. lol. so I was pretty lucky. Leary is awesome tho.lol

The spirit is not for christians and christians alone. Nearly every religion concerns the spirit. If you have never experienced an acid trip then no one should be able to talk about this. A spiritual journey is something personal and something that you find for yourself. It has nothing to do with people on youtube telling you you're right or wrong. Until you step out side your body and inside your mind, leave your scepticism at home.
much love.

I go to a college and one of my teachers is a Hindu who is rather spiritual. She commented that the closest she could describe being at "one" with the earth was a deep sleep where you wake up feeling great. I was sad for her because she will never know the divinity of a psychedelic experience or even be able to imagine it.

NoGuff 4 years ago
Noguff: The term spiritual derives from Latin which means "breath". And spiritual is used in two related contexts, one metaphysical and the other metaphorical. Metaphysically speaking, it is an incorporeal but ubiquitous, non-quantifiable substance or energy present individually in all living things. And this spiritual energy surfaced within me during my experience w/ LSD. I recommend researching a term before spouting faulty and egregious assertions.
SoaringEagle5344 4 years ago
"The term spiritual derives from Latin"
--Regardless, you were equating the psychotropic effects of LSD (drug-induced hallucinations) with a religious experience (a blessed event). And you don't see how ridiculous that is. But from an athiest, most likely an anti-religion person, I can't say I didn't expect it.
NoGuff 4 years ago
"... you were equating the psychotropic effects of LSD with a religious experience."
You obviously have comprehension problems too. At no point did I "equate" my LSD experience w/ a religous experience. I already defined "spiritual" for you, so I'm not sure why you want to run in circles. Perhaps lay off the bible study in exchange for some reading comprehension lessons.

Yes, congratulations, another moron has joined you on the delusional bandwagon. Since you obviously did not understand what I wrote to you earlier, I'll dumb it down for you. The term "spiritual" does not solely refer to a religious context; it also has a secular meaning.

rich - Combine that with the Liberal/SecProg mantra that its wrong to judge anyone or anything.

rich - That seems quite typical, Liberal journalists praising Liberal teachers. I used to be against privatizing the education system, but it seems that's the only solution.

That's because history, current events, and government are no longer being stressed, taught correctly (revisionist history), or not taught at all.

And you've wasted yours on someone elses.

the man is using illicit drugs the way they were intended to be used. as a way to alleviate the pain one must endure with a terminal disease (prostate cancer and only terminal because he chose not to treat it). he still seems pretty damn sharp and lucid for being toasted. brave way to make the ultimate transition.

I am a leary fan - he sounds interesting and cool in this vid. He is a little older, but he is perfectly on the ball and is obviously an intelligent man.
From what he says LSD benefited him greatly and was a positive experience.

Heard on Youtube under Bill Hick's positive drug experience: Why do they only tell the negative stories. Why don't we ever her 'Today young man stoned on acid realized that all matter is energy condensed to a slower vibration, that we are all ONE consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death. Life is only a dream. We are the imagination of ourselves.' or LSD helps one to experience and understand the nature of God.

lee - Funny running into you here in this remote page of YT. Yes, that Sandy Burglar chaps my hide. All the super-Libs I know defended him as if he were Patrick Henry for crap's sake. Now that he's admitted his guilt (and stupidity, and of course the docs are nowhere to be found), these people are silent. Typical Liberals.

Do you know what a liberal is? People who believe in equality, liberty and freedom. The guys who wrote the US constitution were liberals, US is a liberal democracy. 'Patrick Henrys crap' - what is that supposed to mean?
Surely as a christian, you should care about your own society (health,welfare, education), and equality/freedom. Christians at one time campaigned for higher pensions, welfare and to end segregation.

"Do you know what a liberal is?"
--People who don't include reality or practicality in their thinking, don't believe in 1-man-1-vote, or in freedom of speech or religion, or in morality, etc. I got all of that from the NYTimes editorials, not made up.
"'Patrick Henrys crap'"
--I didn't write Patrick Henry was crap. Please read the post again. If you can't understand it, go back to school.
"end segregation"
--Republicans backed the civil rights bill, Dems opposed it. Dont rewrite history

Liberals I think believe in freedom of speach, we are always 'condemned' for talking about civil rights? Freedom of religion, is one of the main tennants of religion - but all religions. Its only the right who want religion in schools. It was only in republican and christian states where segregation existed. You need to look up history. In Europe, people do not have this reaction to liberals - its only the states.

Some liberals believe in small govt, - they do not want powerful, overbearing government, either.
Liberals do believe in personal responsibility. They just want to preseve liberal & democratic rights, ensure everyone has decent standard of living. Maybe its a question of different morals - liberals look at equality, political issues and not so much sex & family values.

"In Europe"
--Yeah, most of them ARE Liberals.
"You need to look up history"
--Ha! Take your own advice. Obviously you don't know jack squat.
"Liberals do believe in personal responsibility"
--Those are 2 different things. Taking personal responsibility means holding people accountable for their own actions & not blaming "the system," a Liberal standard.
"and not so much sex & family values"
--Yes, because family values is a huge part of personal responsibility. See? Of course you don't.

"Liberals...believe in freedom of speach"
--That's why they're bringing back the Fairness Doctrine?
"'condemned' for talking about civil rights?"
--No, but because of Liberals most people now have erroneous ideas of what their civil rights really are.
"the main tennants of religion"
--No, most religions believe other religions are wrong.
"only in republican & christian states where segregation existed"
--No, it existed in MA, probably the most progressive state. Remember Boston busing?

"The guys who wrote the US constitution were liberals"
--They're considered Liberals bc they opposed a Monarch. We all oppose rule by Monarchy. And so by England's point of view, we were Liberals. So saying our Founding Fathers were Liberals is you trying to abscond with the image of our Founding Fathers & trying to paint them as being on your side. When in truth, these people were slave owners, very religious, & businessmen with most believing in states rights. Not the Liberal type of today.
NoGuff 4 years ago
The founding fathers created a political system based upon liberty, freedom and equality. A liberal democratic system - obviously they were liberals. Who talks about the contitution and bill of rights, separation of church and state, individual freedom more than liberals.
Civil Right bill was introduced in 1964 - democrats were in office? Republicans actually opposed end to segregation.
cliveindia7 4 years ago
"obviously they were liberals"
--Because they opposed a monarch. They were very religious, putting references to God in many official documents, slave owners, and in favor of states rights. No, not all Liberals.
"Republicans actually opposed end to segregation"
--Once again, clive, you're talking out of your ASS! Democrats tried to filibuster the '64 act, with Republicans pushing it through, just like they did to end slavery. I hope you're not somehow passing on these lies you hold so dear.

Leary was just an anti-establishment Anarchist wanna-be. He made too much money from his books to actually want to take down civilization, but he made a living by just being against everything that the average citizen enjoyed about this country. If that's "living by your own rules," then fine, and he did it well. He had everything both ways. To me that's a hypocrite.

feather - If you're going to criticize me for criticizing someone else, at least offer something more substantial than one of Bob Dylan's drug induced sayings. Although I understand what it means, its a hollow slogan and it isn't addressing anything specific with a credible counter-argument.
NoGuff 4 years ago
Drug induced? Are you one of those readers of "The Pied Piper Of Rock and Roll"? You know, that one book that mis-quoted "Magic Carpet Ride" by "The Beatles" and said it was about whores and drugs? One of those who think that the Beatles and Elvis are drug addicts and devil worshipers? If you don't dig this type of shit, why are you even looking at Tim Leary videos?
Tell your god I said hi.
FeatherNicole 4 years ago
Wow, that anti-Christian venom just spewed forth & revealed itself, didn't it? I never read that book, nor do I believe the Beatles or Elvis are devil worshippers. I did, though, watch a documentary about music where Leary spoke a few words which I thought were quite good, so I found my way to this page. SORRY if I wrote something you didn't agree with. Is that your thing, as a Liberal, to profess tolerance, free speech, etc., then condemn people like me who have opinions you don't agree with?
NoGuff 4 years ago
I don't profess to being anything. I'm not a liberal, republican or anything inbetween or near. I'm not anti-christian either. I'm just in a bad mood. A 2-1 week bad mood. And sometimes people just piss me off. I just don't feel like arguing anymore.
But if you do decide to spring out from Christian Alt. rock, I can recommend a good Beatle album or two.

Psychedelic drugs are famous for inducing spiritual experiences, feelings of oneness, and unconditional love. Our gov't can hardly have us taking drugs that give us that edge. What was almost as enlightening as the lsd itself was the knowledge that my gov't either lied to me on a regular basis or was composed of idiots. Neither one was a comforting thought.

"Psychedelic drugs are famous for inducing spiritual experiences"
terry - With all due respect, a drug cannot bring you closer to Jesus. There is no "spirituality" without God the Father or the Son. That word has been hijacked and used incorrectly. Its like athiests and Christianity-haters "giving thanks" at Thanksgiving. To whom are they giving thanks? Its about giving thanks to God. To borrow a phrase, its the religion, dummy.
NoGuff 4 years ago
I will certainly think about what you said. I think that some drugs can help open doors that without them, most ppl would be entirely unaware of their existence. For American Indians, some of these drugs were considered sacraments. I believe in God. I just happen to believe there are more paths to this one God than Jesus Christ, tho certainly consider Him and His teachings a path.
TerryOlinger 4 years ago
terry - I'm glad you are open to considering it. And one more thing: The whole idea of Christianity is that salvation comes through Jesus. There are no other paths to consider.

THats just plain silly. Everyone knows that thanksgiving is about giving thanks to the american indians for not having the proper ammunition and guns to stop the white man from committing genocide and stealing all their land. Geez wake up!

NoGuff 4 years ago
Thanks giving has nothing to do with christianity, its about the Indians giving food to early European settlers. Its not a religious holiday. Surely Jesus would favour gun control? Nuclear weapon? Jesus - the loving guy of forgiveness, I promise you, would not vote republican. Lets bastardize christianity out of all recognition, to fit in with modern right wing politics.

"Thanks giving has nothing to do with christianity"
--Please stop with the Liberal/S-P attempt at rewriting history. Who were the Pilgrims and why did they come here? Therein lies the answer. They gave thanks to God for His blessings; getting to the New World, being alive and able to worship freely, and for the Indians helping them to survive. We do not "give thanks to the Indians" for the blessings we have, dum-dum.
NoGuff 4 years ago
You don't thank the Indians for giving food to pilgrims so they could survive. That maybe your interpretation. But I don't think the rest of the states see it that way.
Maybe you should thank the indians - they did help you to survive? You did steel all their land and pushed them into reservations - god would br proud. He'd probably like slavery as well. Passages from OT were used to justify slavery in southern states.

"the rest of the states see it that way"
--That's what you were implying.
"You did steel all their land"
--I didn't steal their land, nor did any of my ancestors.
"He'd probably like slavery as well"
--And of course, when you refer to "slavery" you're ONLY referring to slavery of West Africans in the USA, though that lasted only briefly in the span of time slavery in general (of almost all peoples) has existed. So ouch! That hurt! Good jab from the anti-slavery movement! Bravo.

"Just because its spiritual, doesn't mean it has to involve Jesus."
--Anti-Christian Leftists co-opted the term "spiritual" to erroneously express the concept of "feeling good" and "living as one with the univers" as a religious experience or religious living without religion. All of which is bullshit. If you want an actual spiritual feeling, get on your knees and pray to Jesus Christ. That's all. Eliminate the crystals, brass wristbands, magnets, and the bullshit.
