Provenance: Collection of Rickio Woods, close friend of Timothy Leary and publisher of his first online work.
He writes: I met Timothy in the 80's, reading and collecting his works starting from the 60's. When I lived in Los Angeles, working for David Lynch on Twin Peaks, I was able to see more of him and we would talk about the ramifications of this new global realtime human connection in what was then called cyberspace, that we now call the internet. In 1994, three days before the debut of my underground website hyperFuzzy, Tim faxed me at 2am with his endorsement letter and a poem which came to be his first online post on the internet. I'm forever grateful!

MORE ABOUT == Timothy Francis Leary (October 22, 1920 – May 31,
1996) was an American psychologist and writer, known for his advocacy of
psychedelic drugs. During a time when drugs like LSD and Mescaline, Peyote and
other Sacred plants were legal, Leary conducted experiments at
Both studies produced useful data, but Leary and his associate Richard Alpert were fired from the university. 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", "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), and he developed the eight-circuit model of consciousness in his book Exo-Psychology (1977).
During
the 1960s Leary was arrested for cannabis marijuana possession. President
Richard Nixon once described Leary as "the most dangerous man in
Leary authored and co-authored over twenty books and was featured on more than a dozen audio recordings. He had an acting career that included over a dozen appearances in movies and television shows, over thirty appearances as himself in the same, and produced and/or collaborated in both multi-media presentations and computer games.
In June 2011 The New York Times reported that the New York Public Library had acquired Leary's personal archives, including papers, videotapes, photographs and other archival material from the Leary estate, including correspondence and documents relating to Allen Ginsberg, Aldous Huxley, William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey, Arthur Koestler, G. Gordon Liddy and other prominent cultural figures. Following an archiving period of up to two years, the material is now open to scholars.
Beat poet Allen Ginsberg asked Leary to participate in the experiments after hearing about the Harvard research project. According to Leary's autobiography, Flashbacks, while still legal LSD was given to 300 professors, graduate students, writers and philosophers and 75 percent of the test subjects reported the experience as one of the most educational and revealing experiences of their lives.

Freedom in 1962 in
On September 19, 1966, Leary founded the League for Spiritual Discovery, a religion declaring LSD as its holy sacrament, in part as an unsuccessful attempt to maintain legal status for the use of LSD and other psychedelics for the religion's adherents, based on a "freedom of religion" argument.
(Although The Brotherhood of Eternal Love would subsequently consider Leary their spiritual leader, The Brotherhood did not evolve out of IFIF International Foundation for Internal Freedom.)

October 6, 1966, LSD was made illegal in the
During late 1966 and early 1967, Leary toured college campuses presenting a multi-media performance "The Death of the Mind", which attempted to artistically replicate the LSD experience.

was invited to attend the January 14, 1967 Human Be-In by Michael Bowen the
primary organizer of the event. Leary spoke at the Human Be-In, a gathering of
