Three of my favorite and influential authors. I have read some of Eric Davis' work as well.

I came across those three guys before I could articulate what they had in common. Can't wait to check this book out!

Spiritual awakening is personal apocalypse and the current apocalypse is a global spiritual awakening.

Just need to bring a few more Leftists to the party. We can’t let the Trump supporters have ALL the fun

It did not start on thecWest Coast - it really took off on the East Coast when Leary and Ram Dass (Richard Alpert)n were experimenting with it at Harvard. Yes, he did move to Laguna Beach later- much later and he was arrested there I hear.

Nice cover

And most of them are gnostic myths of their time. Like Alice in Wonderland and the Matrix

“The west coast is where psychedelic culture arise in America “ this is BS. Timothy Leary and Richard Albert worked at Harvard, Leary, Wilson and Boroughs all lived in New York when they first became influential.

One thing the west coast is good at is stealing other peoples cultural influences and claiming they invented it when in truth they merely sanitized them and made them marketable.

I don’t know if that’s the whole picture. A lot of the experimentation and early LSD therapy in the 50s took place in LA. The other thing is San Francisco and summer of love, etc. New York and Harvard played their parts too. I don’t think we need psychedelic west/east coast beef haha

You would almost think they did not travel..... How did Richard Alpert arrive in India? You think Tim Leary did not participate in EST with Werner Erhard?
