Your Brain Is God
Timothy Leary You are a God . . . Timothy Leary and his psychedelic research team quickly discovered that being scientists—not even Harvard scientists—could shield them from the strong taboo against "brain-change." They discovered that hanging your brain and expanding your mind with magical plants is against the law. The brain has replaced the genitals as the forbidden organ that must not be touched or turned on by the owner. Fortunately there is one loophole—the religious metaphor. While there is nothing in the Bill of Rights to protect scientific freedom, there is a First Amendment protection of Freedom of Religion. Live like one. The moment of decision came during a wild all-night LSD session when Richard Alpert went up to Leary, eyes popping, and announced, "The East! We must go back to the wisdom of the East!"

Only Timothy was insistent that there would be no kneeling down, no dogmas, no holy men, no followers, no churches, no public worship, and no financial offerings. Live your highest vision. YOUR BRAIN IS GOD is Leary’s summa

Eight
Crafts of God. The ritual use of sacraments—LSD and essences of
entheogenic
plants—accelerates activating the divinity within and experiencing the
eight crafts. YOUR BRAIN IS GOD tells how to:
