More From Timothy Leary

We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. but they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go. science is all metaphor. in the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism. you perform it. if aristotle were alive today he'd have a talk show. if you don't like what you are doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.

My advice to myself and to everyone else, particularly young people, is to turn on, tune in and drop out. by drop out, i mean to detach yourself from involvement in secular, external social games. but the dropping out has to occur internally before it can occur externally. i'm not telling kids just to quit school; i'm not telling people to quit their jobs. that is an inevitable development of the process of turning on and tuning in.

Turn on. to contact the ancient energies and wisdoms that are built into your nervous system. they provide unspeakable pleasure and revelation. tune in. to harness and communicate these new perspectives in a harmonious dance with the external world. drop out. detach yourself from the tribal game. current models of social adjustement - mechanized, computerized, socialized, intellectualized, televised, sanforized - make no sense to the new lsd generation who see clearly that american society is becoming an air-conditioned anthill.

With the arrival of electric technology, man extended, or set outside himself, a live model of the central nervous system itself. to the degree that this is so, it is a development that suggests a desperate and suicidal autoamputation, as if the central nervous system could no longer depend on the physical organs to be protective buffers against the slings and arrows of outrageous mechanism.
Suicidal Technology Men
I don't look at people's expressions, because i still get nervous when i play, especially when i first put the harp up there. i just try to tune - it takes me a half-hour to tune, and i get nervous if i look at anybody when i do it.
Expression Play People
There are as many forms of advice as there are colors of the rainbow. remember that good advice can come from bad people and bad advice from good people. the important thing about advice is that it is simply that. advice.

I see less and less... i need to avoid lateral light, which darkens my colors. nevertheless, i always paint at the times of day most propitious for me, as long as my paint tubes and brushes are not mixed up... i will paint almost blind, as beethoven composed completely deaf.
Light Color Long
There is something in corruption which, like a jaundiced eye, transfers the color of itself to the object it looks upon, and sees everything stained and impure.
Lying Eye Color
The white poor also suffer deprivation and the humiliation of poverty if not of color. they are chained by the weight of discrimination though its badge of degradation does not mark them. it corrupts their lives, frustrates their opportunities and withers their education. in one sense it is more evil for them because it has confused so many by prejudice that they have supported their own oppressors.
Confused Opportunity Color
