With all due respect for the Moody Blues, Timothy Leary is dead. And at some time, you and I will be dead too. As Jim Morison said, "No one gets out of there alive." With that physical finality in mind, I know of no better use of my time and money than to popularize, not my own 'Religion of Consciousness' but the religion that exists in your own mind. This site is dedicated to aid you in pursuing, and hopefully discovering, the God within you. The God within in us all.

The famous "Good Friday Study" proved without a doubt that a true "religious experience" is possible with chemicals, i.e. drugs. The single, most authoritative account of that Study: The Religious Experience: Its Production and Interpretation was presented by Dr. Timothy Leary on August 30, 1963 to the 71st Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association. The event was sponsored by the Board of Theological Education of the Lutheran Church in America and held at the Bellevue Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia, USA. Click HERE for that definitive Paper.

To paraphrase: The 69 professional workers in religious vocations who partook of the psychedelic drug psilocybin, were responsible, respected, thoughtful, and moral individuals who were grimly aware of the controversial nature of the procedure and aware that their reputations and their jobs might be undermined. Still, 75% reported a religious experience that may be defined as: the ecstatic, incontrovertibly certain subjective discovery of answers to the four basic spiritual questions:

1. What is the Ultimate Power or Basic Energy which moves the universe,
creates life? What is the Cosmic Plan?
2. What is life, where did it start, where is it going?
3. What is man, whence did he come, and where is he going?
4. What am I? What is my place in this plan?

There are many predisposing factors - intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social, family, even age - that cause a person to be ready for a dramatic mind expanding experience, which may lead another to shrink back from seeking new levels of consciousness. You decide.

To help you decide, you are encouraged to read the complete Paper presented by Dr. Leary and decide for yourself if marijuana or any psychedelic chemical can assist you in your own quest to experience God within you.
