Change Your Brain

The inside story on how the Harvard-Millbrook psychedelic research moved from the scientific to the religious arena. After Harvard professors, Timothy Leary & Richard Alpert, now known as Ram Dass, were expelled from Harvard, they came to understand that the US Constitution protected religious practice, but not scientific exploration. Leary said, "I must confess that I was uneasy about falling back on the religious paradigm.... A review of 20th century literature showed that there was obviously a strong taboo against 'brain-change.' By 1960, indeed, the brain had replaced the genitals as the forbidden organ that must no be touched or turned on by the owner. The only way in which consciousness-change experiences could be discussed was in terms of philosophic-religious. Even Buddhism, an atheist method of psychological self-control, allowed itself to be classified as a religion." Your Brain is God describes the adventure that ensued in Timothy Leary's own words.Leary, Timothy is the author of 'Change Your Brain' with ISBN 9781579510176 and ISBN 1579510175.
