Synopsis
Excerpt from The Politics of Ecstasy
It is an understatement to write that Timothy Leary was privy to this stormy marriage of the mundane and the rapturous. Simultaneously observer and participant, Dr. Leary analyzed events around him even as he helped make them happen. Boundlessly energetic, keenly insightful, he was uniquely qualified to work both sides of Heisenberg Street.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profound and often overlooked relationship between psychedelic experiences and the political landscape. It examines the impact of psychedelic drugs on individual consciousness and argues that these experiences can lead to a shift in how we view the world and our place in it. The author, a leading figure in the counter-culture movement of the 1960s, draws on his own research and personal experiences to illuminate the transformative power of these substances. The book delves into the nature of the religious experience, arguing that psychedelic states can provide direct access to spiritual truths that are otherwise veiled by conventional thought patterns. Through a detailed examination of the seven basic spiritual questions, the author contends that both science and religion offer answers to these fundamental inquiries, albeit through distinct methodologies. He then explores the scientific understanding of the universe, life, and the human body, highlighting how psychedelic experiences mirror these scientific discoveries in their own unique way. This book offers a thought-provoking perspective on the potential of psychedelic experiences to inspire individual freedom and challenge traditional notions of political power. It is a compelling exploration of the transformative potential of altered states of consciousness. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
