Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out by Timothy Leary

Timothy Leary "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out"
Ronin Books | 2009 | English | ePUB | 160 Pages | ISBN-10: 2370007251 | 2.00 MB

Hermes was the messenger of the gods and the brother of the goddess of wisdom, Athena. He was also something of a trickster. And, in his incarnation as Hermes Trismagistus, he served the role of being an initiator into the mystical depths of the ancient wisdom schools. Thus esoteric knowledge was once known as Hermeticism. Zeus rather liked him and made him his naughty messenger."

Like Hermes, Timothy Leary was an “avowed rascal”—and his very delightful and poetic writings on the subject (he had an almost unparalled gift for word play), indicate that he understood the role of the rascal in an elevated, cosmological sense -i.e., the archetype of the trickster.

Touching on topics ranging from religion, education, and politics to Aldous Huxley, neurology, and psychedelic drugs, the poem and ten vintage essays collected here articulate Timothy Leary's freewheeling, freedom-loving philosophy of life.
