Timothy
Leary is called a ”high priest of LSD” and a ”psychedelic shaman”. He
believed that LSD showed potential for therapeutic use in psychiatry. He
used LSD himself and developed a philosophy of mind expansion and personal
truth through LSD. After leaving Harvard, he continued to publicly promote the
use of psychedelic drugs and became a well-known figure of
the counterculture of the 1960s, and therefore also in New Age. He
popularized catchphrases that promoted his philosophy, such as
"turn on, tune in, drop out", "set and setting", and
"think for yourself and question authority". He also wrote and spoke
frequently about transhumanist concepts involving space migration,
intelligence increase, and life extension (SMI²LE). Below you can

Thou Shalt Not Criticize!!!
Philosophy is under attack.
The precious store of ancient wisdom is under attack from charlatans, the Sophists.
This was Plato´s warning, and the warning is more important today than ever.

If you confuse light and oneness with symbols, then this is a forgery
Where you in LSD-psychotherapy, Kundalini Yoga and altogether in most of
the therapies in New Age spirituality, will seek to draw energy and content in
from the collective images, then you in philosophical counseling will question whether
the mind has to travel through all these dark and hidden corridors in order to
come to the light.
The philosophical counselor will ask whether the mind, when it through
one of these means, really is coming out in the light, whether this light then
is the unknown, truth or reality, or whether the light and oneness are symbols.
If you confuse light and oneness with symbols, then this is a forgery,
an inflation-creating enlargement of the Ego.
The philosophical counselor will ask, whether the light perhaps could be
thought to originate from the known, from your own symbolical perspective, the
recognized, and caused by search, struggle and hope.
The philosophical counselor will ask, whether you must through the
burdensome process in order to discover the immeasurable, whether you can´t go
around all this, and meet that which could be called reality or life itself.
