woah, you met the great man? what was he like? his Design for Dying was a real eye-opener, and i'm saving his Tibetan book of the dead for a rainy day.

Erm, not met exactly, spoke on the phone. Years ago, when I lived in Wales we started hanging around with a mad yank called Eric who was from LA. His mum was minted and they owned a big manor nearby. Anyway, he was fiends with a lot of big people from Hollywood (or was it hollyhead) and, once when we were all wasted on Dancing Testubes, he went to the phone box, dialled Tim Leary and shoved the phone in my face. We had a brief, weird convo about the trip and how I was feeling etc.

Weird.

I actually spoke to him once while on acid. It was genuine too, not part of the trip!

Leary's mate Richard Alpert who he run the psilocybin & LSD trials with in the 60's at Harvard which resulted in them being sacked, went to India and met a Holy man and became Ramm Dass an amazing spiritual teacher, he's in his 80's now, very deep profound human. All as a result of having mushrooms with Leary. These fella's with the likes of Alan Watts, Terence/Dennis McKenna, are the trailblazers to a better future in human consciousness.

wow man...dancing testtubes haha. you remember any convo details? i expect it was basic stuff like "howya doing" but still....Timothy Leary was a sage, a Merlin of modern times. much misunderstood by the mainstream of the time as you can imagine, but even Dr. Hofmann accepted his work eventually (hell, ol' Albert even accepted Goa Gil near the end)...it'll probably never be legalised, tho'.

still...i'm due another trip with the drenched delirium, been a few years...food for the brain innit
