Maybe someone else who reads this blog does?<br /><br />Like RAW and some others, Timothy Leary did seem to utilize guerrilla ontology tactics with his writing. <br /><br />Maybe the reason so many models exists because different types of people get drawn to different models. The bottom line may be how well any one model does or does not work for you.Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361223727037711552.post-74609807061251036432012-03-05T04:55:49.428-08:002012-03-05T04:55:49.428-08:00I have just read this book book recently, one of t...I have just read this book book recently, one of the few RAW books I had not got around too. It was fun and interesting.<br /><br />Do you think the play was somewhat inspired by the play within "Ulysses"?<br /><br />The corpse pose makes me think of Spare's death posture...<br /><br />BTW, you mentioned doing one of the Maybe Academy courses. I have some interest in Antero Ali's course on "The Eight Circuit Brain" but wonder if it is really worth it? Alli's books are fun but, hard to take seriously, assuming they are meant to be.<br /><br />For example, on the origens of the "Eight Circuit Brain" theory he has has story about it deriving from some secret Hindu manuscript:<br /><br />"Adams delivered a Hindu manuscript to Leary and instructed him upon the occult meaning of the little Asian jewel."<br /><br />http://deoxy.org/8origins.htm<br /><br />A similar story is repeated in "Flashbacks", but it reads like an amusing yarn, and "Flashbacks was not a serious autobiography. Leary even uses the phrase "I fabricate...." and "What Does WoMan" want is sold as a novel.<br /><br />To me, although very interesting, the model just seems like a quite obvious updating of the the seven chakras idea, which is not exactly a secret -- every book shop has a book about it. John Lilly has a much more complex model, in "The Centre of the Cyclone", derived from Gurdjieff whom Leary must have read too.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040460590165797632noreply@blogger.com
