LEARY, TIMOTHY - The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based On The Tibetan Book Of The Dead

The readings presented here can best be regarded as radio-signals sent out from a satellite tracking station to the explorers floating freely through space. The instructions can be attended to or ignored but at least they provide a kind of basic signal around which the voyager can orient his explorations. We dedicate this recording to the the many men and women whose accounts and reports of their explorations in the interior universe have helped us prepare these maps. -- Timothy Leary and Ralph Metzner. The Psychedelic Experience is a rare, early document of the emergent hippie era issued in 1966 on Moe Aschs Broadside records. Join the legendary father of LSD with Ralph Metzner & Richard Alpert (aka Ram Das) as they indulge in the fruits of their research. Two extended tracks of spoken meditations accompanied by occasional Tibetan Bell: Going Out and Coming Back naturally line this journey. Features archival photos, 12 pages of original notes and remastered sound. - Locust
