little black dog Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Dr.Timothy Leary's Two Commandments: 1) Thou shalt not alter the consciousness of thy neighbor without his or her consent. 2) Thou shalt not prevent thy neighbor from altering his or her consciousness. Do we have any "sinners"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Depends? Am I still not aloud to give'er? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little black dog Posted November 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Torgnor, I'm sure it would be the greatest sin of all if you ever stopped given'er. We must also remember that the definition of "sin" is quite debatable. Fuck it I say. Giver till you can't giver no more. I heard somewhere that it's always better to giver than to receive. Unless you're being given by a given'er. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rary8 Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 I respect Leary and his legacy but when he comes to mind I always seem to think about... That there seemed to be two different schools of thought back in the day. The first was to find a safe enviroment with safe people. A place where you can be comfortable and just deal with you trip.without all the outside stimulus and extra perspectives and paranoia/intesity that a crowd or establishment brings. The second was that "It" by it's very nature was a Test. You can not put off the enevitable or hide from your own self. The trip is here and now and is solely what you bring. Take it, and deal with it. You can't learn to juggle. You just have to leap right in. The first was what seemed to be the advice of Leary and the second was that of Kesey/Cassady. Regardless of what I might choose myself from time to time. The true inspiration of my experience comes ONLY from ONE of these paths. Flight of the seabirds, Scattered like lost words, Wheel to the storm, and fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
