…take care. Here's one by email. Somebody wants to know and I really am not sure myself, wants to ask you your opinion on Tim Leary's work with prisoners and the reasons his findings were suppressed. What do you know about that? I don't know a whole lot…
…persons that have not taken it. Terrence McKenna quoting Tim Leary in los angeles in 1991: accurate. Well I tried to give that quote to Tim and he swore to me he'd never said that. So it's sort of hanging out there in the air but it's a very funny…
…frustrated with seeing this thing turned into a social hysteria. And Wasson you know at times expressed great unhappiness with Tim Leary's approach and hated going to Mexico and seeing these mushroom villages invaded by graffiti covered vans of filthy freaks…
…all. Yeah a number of other stories have developed maps or categorization schemes for the realms that they encounter in these states. Tim Lerae has the eighth circuit model. John Malee had a series of you know plus two, plus 36, I don't remember exactly.…

…do it a psychedelic and the set is your mindset what you bring to it, and these seem to be the rule these are Tim Leary's rules. They're back from the Harvard days and people abuse these rules terribly and almost always then get into trouble. This goes…
…all things a great humanist. So those three people really, for me shape the field. People ask about my relationship to Tim Leary. I knew Tim as an icon when I was a kid but I followed all that we followed but we doubted is I guess what it was…
…I guess what it was because the humanness of those leaders was all too obvious. Then in later life when I got to know Tim as a friend, he was just a great guy but his enthusiasms were social and political and visionary and so were mine largely. But…
…going to speak together tonight we had no agenda whatsoever and the first thing I want to tell you is that I've been following Tim for the last, literally for the last 25 years, and he's led me some strange places but never astray. I didn't know I was…
…I'm just a heavy user, and I would like you to be heavy users too. We could connect right now I have, probably next semester, Tim and I will be teaching a course where some of our students will be in Europe, some will probably be in Japan and we'll…
…come out, yeah, yeah, hello, I send a note again. Well he faxed me. I'm faxing, I try to find out a few things and Tim asked me to find out about the history of his father his father he said the family knew, studied in Heidelberg in 19 around 1910…
…Leary in Mannheim but are you sure it's really him? Werner Weber, you want to take a rib, Terence? Come on. Well listening to Tim, One thing occurred to me that I wanted to leave with you and that is what this is all about in political terms is…

…won't ever be King. Actually it was only until about five years ago that I will pass five years they've stopped introducing me as Tim Leary's Partner, right and which I mean I think that was Great I see him as one of my first teachers great teacher,…
…tonight is psychedelics in the 1990s. So what we're going to start out is learn from each other and to learn from the audience, and Tim will now start us with his version of the year 2000 and how to get there. Well the first thing that's on my mind…
…I live in Sonoma County and I am a citizen of earth. I recognize no intermediate structures except one. So I agree with Tim I cheer on the people who present the protocols and plead their cases before these gray faced medical boards, but in my opinion…
…to many scientific meetings, but if I were to be invited I would feel, I'm sure, very marginal because they say: oh well Tim, you know about all that. And then at these gatherings I always feel somewhat in disguise because I'm not sure how many people…
…least the mythological Finnegan. As you all probably know there is an Irish drinking ballad of great antiquity called the ballad of Tim Finnegan or the ballad of Finnegan's wake and it tells the story of Tim Finnegan who was a hod carrier, a bricklayer's…

…is the resurrection I mean Tim Finnegan is very clearly for Joyce a Christ figure. And here is then the first evocation of Tim Finnegan. The fall, then the viconian thunder, of a once wall straight old par, which is just an old person, is retailed early…
…made them up. Well, I don't know what making them up means. I mean, did Proust make up a la recherche de Tim Perdue? He recalled, he adumbrated, he embellished. I think what Castaneda was not completely straightforward about in his later books was most…
…it, the goal is pretty much to live through it. I mean it's like being shot out of a I read I think it was Tim Leary's Metaphor. He said it's like being shot out of a cannon with baroque barreling and afterwards people want you to draw the barreling…
…don't know who you are part of this movement into the future is a recapturing of the archaic, the ancient, the prehistorical, and Tim said it right that's the Cro Magnon religion of orgy, psychedelic ecstasy and group sex. Well how do we get from where…
…the only place where the human soul is at home. Very, very good, you want to take a REST, Terrence? Come on. Well listening to Tim, One thing occurred to me that I wanted to leave with you, and that is what this is all about in political terms is…

…is when I sort of recognized that ability and thought of it as a really great game idea, kind of a La Sid as Tim Series it's really simguy but it would not be simulated really. You could have every participant in the web utilizing all the resources in…
…humor me. And over a few weeks time we got the basic work done and I fired off a piece of mail to a man named Tim Berners lee who's the father of the world wide web, because he had a few notes on his web pages about the fact that seeing virtual…
…he had a few notes on his web pages about the fact that seeing virtual reality on the web would be a really cool thing. Hey Tim, I know you never heard of me but I'm this guy and what you've done with the web is really cool and I heard you were…
…Cult. That would just be the stupidest resolution of the whole thing. The whole message is: you don't need me or Tim or anybody else just you know take a little metaphysical responsibility upon yourself, realize you are the microcosm of the macrocosm…
…he made them up. Well I don't know what making them up means. I mean did Proust make up a la recherche de Tim Perdue? He recalled, he adumbrated, he embellished. I think what Castaneda was not completely straightforward about in his later books was most…
…scheme. It automatically has network protocols built in. All these things were necessary and I think that the creative people, for example Tim Berners lee who invented the world wide web idea, all of these people were inspired by angels, that is to say…

…of their time to put these psychedelic ideas across. And believe me you hang your ass out to dry when you take this position. Tim mentioned courage. Nobody has had the kind of courage that Roy and Diane have had to push that message into this town. So…
…work in the sawmills, they take jobs in the tourist industry and 25 000 50 000 years of medical knowledge is lost. And Tim did homage to the vegetables. Even in today's high tech world fully 75 of all the drugs prescription drugs, other kinds of drugs…
…irishman? Well I think that the place to look is history. Now if you go to the academy, to those ivory towers that Tim was talking about and ask what is history, they will tell you that it's a random walk, an endlessly pointless fluctuation empires rise…
…mold. There were only 70 copies of that book and it cost about 1 500. And what it is? It's a showcase for an artist named Tim Eli who is very famous in the world of made books and he's at the top of the made books thing. So I contributed a text.…
…say when in doubt double the dose but he didn't say when in doubt empty the medicine cabinet, just double the dose, thank you. And Tim was a pretty reckless and wild ass kind of guy so if he took that position I think we don't have to be ashamed to…
…thought Tim Leary had said but I asked him recently and he couldn't remember what he was saying. Of course he's a brain dimmer. Tim once said LSD is a drug which has been known to cause psychotic behavior in people who don't take it. So that was…
…yeah, nobody wants to speak microphone. I don't think this one's long enough for you. Sorry I'll just put my question first. Tim what do you think of people who can reach similar insights without psychedelics? The human brain is a collection of a network…
…know go out there, go out there. Anyway, I'm asking Terence McKenna to rave a bit. So here to rave is Terence. Hold him off, Tim, while I get my act together. Well, is this a virtual reality or what it is indeed I think so. The theme of courage…
