New Methods of Consciousness...

Timothy Leary

Here is an extremely rare recording from the BetterListen! archives. 
Available in digitlal format for the very first time. 
Recorded in NYC in 1991, this recording reflects the wisdom, foresight and brilliance of Dr Timothy Leary. 
Timothy Leary believed that a psychedelic experience is a journey to new realms of consciousness. The scope and content of the experience is limitless, but its characteristic features are the transcendence of verbal concepts, of spacetime dimensions, and of the ego or identity. Such experiences of enlarged consciousness can occur in a variety of ways: sensory deprivation, yoga exercises, disciplined meditation, religious or aesthetic ecstasies, or spontaneously. 
We hope you enjoy this recording and peak into one of the most interesting minds in recent history.
