  • "Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities — the political, the religious, the educational authorities — who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing — forming in our minds — their view of reality...

  • ...To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself." Timothy Leary.

  • Nice selection of pictures....all governments, all over the world exist with the potential and need to control...some worse than others.

  • WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO LEARY !....[THAT WAS ME THINKING FOR MYSELF AND QUESTIONING THE SPEAKER'S AUTHORITY.}

    FREE YOUR MIND AND YOUR BODY OF HALFWIT FRIENDS WILL FOLLOW.

  • I stumbled upon this video some time ago, knowing nothing of Timothy Leary or his ideas. Since that time I have read some of his books, listened to his words and have read other authors' works about his life. The more and more I learn about this man and his ideas, the more I realize that I have always known him and I have always known the ideas he has put forth. Timothy Leary has had such an impact on my life and I'm honored to have received his teachings.

  • Crowley as the source of his outlook? No. Tim Leary is clearly demonstrating his own spin on psychological theory, the source ultimately being probably Jung or Nietzsche

  • and then the drums kick in.....

  • The first photo in the video has been doctored.

    There are no stars...

  • @ridethespiral23 lol too bad that ironically you have to HAVE your arm REMIND you to "question authority" to 'think for yourself.' So much for thinking for yourself :P

  • A Prophet, peroid.

  • "The Tea Party Truther" Facebook. More than you want to know about our government! Click the Info tab. Read the info. Click the Wall. Go through all the links. It may take you a month, but it will enlighten you.

  • 3 people can't think for themselves.
