Leary believed Lsd showed therapeutic potential for use in psychiatry. He popularized catchphrases that promoted his philosophy such as "turn on, tune in, drop out" (a phrase given to Leary by Marshall McLuhan); "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

Psychedelic Prayers, by Timothy Leary Amazon.com Review Timothy Leary--Harvard University psychologist, social change activist, psychedelia enthusiast, and cyberspace pioneer--died on May 31, 1996, as this edition of Psychedelic Prayers and Other Meditations was in progress. Translated "from English to psychedelese" in 1965, these 56 poems were inspired by the Tao Te Ching (Way of Life), ancient spiritual writings of Taoist philosopher Lao Tsu. Leary believed Tsu's writings would serve as an excellent guidebook for psychedelic sessions, so--armed with nine English translations--he sat under a tree in India and attempted to distill the works' essential meanings (from a drug-induced perspective, of course).
As meditation is to Eastern spiritual traditions, psychedelic drugs were to Timothy Leary. The counterculture guru encouraged people to transcend ego-centered perspectives of ordinary human consciousness, go beyond the dualities of right and wrong, and liberate themselves from their limitations. The Tao Te Ching fit these purposes quite well, he thought, and Ralph Metzner, who wrote the book's introduction, agrees: "These meditations on the art and science of consciousness expansion are serene, sensuous, funny and wise. They are among the most inspired writings by one of the outstanding visionary geniuses of the 20th century."

"Tao Te Ching," By A Customer "How does muddy water become clear?Muddy water becomes clear through stillness.How does one become still?One becomes still, by moving with the stream.".... With these words Timothy Leary set the cornerstone of Hippie philosophy in Eastern Mysticism. The hidden influence of "Psychedelic Prayers," will come to light in the passage of time. It's influence on music ("All things must pass." Beatles), TV ("Kung Fu," series), Film ("Easy Rider"), Hollywood, ("Star Wars"), just reflect the imprint on our collective consciousness... The general acceptance of the Tao's "I Ching," (High Priest), " The Tibetan Book of the dead," (The Psychedelic Experience) and later "The Art of War," (Sun Tzu), all you can see, trace there acceptance by the Hippies and later the baby boomers to this great work... In a search led by Harvard Scientists and students of religion. They looked for ways to map and understand awareness. Map Consciousness in ways that would empower people to program there own lives... Suppressed by many forces the "Tao Te Ching," is now, in the wake of Dr. Leary's death being re-released. This is only the second printing. Of what may be looked upon as one of the earliest, if not the first prayer book of the unnamed, unseen, as yet unformed philosophy of the group of people who have grown out of a tribe called Hippies. This was the first translation into American... Released as One of two guide book on how to explore higher con-sciousness before the prohibition. "Psychedelic Prayers," expanded on knowledge of set and setting, learned by the "Hashish Club of Paris," a century ago. They linked these techniques to ancient sacred texts of consciousness exploration... While it appears on the surface that these manuals are guide books to temporary trips. They are really guides to the use and abuse of consciousness. The first effort the "Psychedelic Prayers," offered here, was based on the "Tao Te Ching." "The Psychedelic Experience," based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead was the second more serious text book version... How you can be fulfilled, enlightened, more aware. How to wake up to live. How you can have anything you want, whenever you want it, wherever you want it. with whoever you want to have it with... Amazon books please send me a copy as soon as its re-released. You have my order. My 30 year old copy has been my constant companion."...In the best sessions one does not know there is a guide..."
13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. "No one has ever done Lao Tzu better." By -oo0(GoldTrader)0oo- Tim Leary first introduced Lao Tzu to me in the late sixties. He translated the Tao Te Ching into American from the English. "No one has ever done it better." Tim's version of "Psychedelic Prayers," still stands as essential Tao. The Tao many of us will travel forever.The I Ching came to me in a completely different way. I had read the introduction to John Blofeld's translation of Richard Wilhelm's version of the I Ching; not knowing it could me used as an oracle. That night a few mystifying ladies from Yale University campus, took me home and in an incense & candle lit session, showed me how to enter the mysterious consciousness of the Tao.My concern then as now has been the philosophy of Tao. Book two of Wilhelm's I Ching teaches of the philosophical background of the pattern of change. Everything changes but change has a design.This probably led to my trading Commodities Futures for a living.Recently I found Richard Wilhelm's similar magnificent masterpiece "Tao Te Ching: The Book of Meaning and Life by Lao Tzu."Anyone who has had an interest in Psychedelic Prayers, these last thirty years may want to consider Wilhelm's views on Lao Tzu's consciousness.Just as in Book Two of the I Ching, Wilhelm dives right into Lao Tzu's mind with clarity like no one else.
4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Is this book another Leary joke? Or is he just out of touch? By Timothy D. Pyle Come on! Ifyou like this book you either have no clue about psychedelics or a sucker to the great con-man. At the end notes of the book, Leary cites which chapter from Lao-Tzu he has adapted. Let's face it, Leary could not read ancient chinese and thus relied on other's for his interpretations.; not that there is anything wrong with Lin Yutang or James Legge. In fact Legge's translation is considered the definitve and closest to the original (even though he blew it with the I Ching).The Tao Te Ching chapters used for the "prayers" rarely have anything to do with Leary's text. Either the man just didn't grasp Lao-Tzu or he was so whacked out of his mind when writing it that it comes across as contrived and sophmoric. NOt only that, did Leary not have a secretary to keep track of his phraseology. The book is grossly redundant, repeating the same cliches, several of which came from a completely different chapter of Lao-Tzu.Leary, the self-proclaimed prophet of psychedelia, is only out to sell his drivel to people who 1) can't grasp the original, 2) are completely naive about LSD, and 3) are stupid enough not to check Leary's sources.Granted, everyone was naive about LSD in 1966, but looking back 35 years later, all you get from this drivel is Leary's perverse sexual neuroses and his wish to escape from the "mundane" world where he is not "The King". The one book "stinks" of Aleistair Crowley's megalomania, and scrambled thought processes, and idyllic sexual stimuli (in mono or stereo).Take for example Leary's I-4 (Lao Tzu #19 Returning to the unadulterated Influence). Lao Tzu's version has the essence "If we could remounce our sageness and discard our wisdom"....(trans. James Legge). There is nothing about "Let there be simple things During the Session". This is pure Leary Fantasy. The first "prayer" is about the inability to describe the Tao. It has nothing to do whatsoever with the "guide", and was obviously placed first in the collection to 1) correspond to Lao-Tzu chapter and 2) to glorify Leary as the GREAT Sage who will lead through the uncharted landscape, and how great he is at doing so. The word Tao does not even occur.Unless you are a collector of Timmy Leary's mumbo-jumbo or buy into his B.S. (belief system), this book is simply a waste of time (regardless of price).Richard alpert (a.k.a. Ram Dass), even with his flipped out ideas is a better read. But why read anything from some swollen LSD ego when you can get the real information from the real researchers. (Cf. Albert Hofmann, LSD My Problem Child - who relates that Leary attempted to place an order with sandoz for 100grams of LSD and 25 kilos of psilocybin (1,000,000 LSD hits and 2.5 million psilocybin)- THe Sandoz people thought he was "insane" and refused the order.Read Psychedelic Prayers, if you can stand 15 minutes of Leary expounding about his greatness as the High Priest of Psychedelia. Maybe you'll come to the same conclusion that Sandoz did.AT least get James Legge's copy and compare; see for yourself what kind of LSD trash literature that poor mentally deranged Leary could spew out.P.S. Nothing wrong with LSD; just stay away from people like Tim Leary, who even warns you to avoid people like him (VI-17). LSD is not for most people. This book is definitely for no one.
