Guest speakers: Timothy Leary & Terence McKenna
Invitation to the opening of the Timoty Leary Archive at the New York Library. (Held on the second anniversary of the Occupy Movement.) :-)
PROGRAM NOTES:
[NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.]
“I know that I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Tim Leary. He was the pathfinder. He cut the way through the woods. He gave us all permission to be very much the people that we are tonight.”
“Alchemy is really the secret tradition of the redemption of spirit from matter.”
“What 'psychedelic' means is getting your mind out in front of you, by whatever means necessary, so that you can relate to it as a thing in the world and then work upon it.”
“Mind conjures miracles out of time.”
“You've been told from the cradle that the deck was stacked against you, fall of man, original sin, and so forth and so on. It's bullshit. It's absolute bullshit.”
