I-LSD yayisisizathu kuphela sokuba uLeary afumane ukuguqula umxube wakhe okhethekileyo wentsingiselo, ubuchule kunye nokuzonwabisa kwimisebenzi eyaguqula inkcubeko yaseMelika. Incwadi kaRobert Greenfield efundeka ngokunyanzelekileyo ukuba ngamanye amaxesha incwadi enesiphuku-eyokuqala engobomi obukhulu bukaLeary kunye nesiphumo seminyaka eli-10 yophando-iinkcukacha ngeentlobo ezimangalisayo zabantu abadumileyo abadibene noLeary, iziyobisi awazingenisayo kunye nabasetyhini walala ebhedini ngexesha elingenakulindeleka 75 iminyaka yobomi.
Kukwayimpikiswano enamandla ngokuchasene nenkolelo yokuzibandakanya ekwabelwana ngayo ngabaninzi abaye basebenzisa ii-psychedelics-kwaye ndandinguye-ukuba ukukhubeka phantse ngokuzenzekelayo kukwenza ube ngumntu ongcono, nonolwazi. Nangona uMnu.Greenfield egcina ithoni ebhalwe ngesandla, isiphumo sokuqokelelwa kweenkcukacha zakhe kukubonisa ukuba uTimothy Leary wayeyintswempu-inkungu enomtsalane, eyomeleleyo nenobuchule-nangona wayethathe i-LSD.
Wayenobuchule bokuzibhubhisa: Nangona wenza okuninzi kwisikhundla sakhe njengomfeli-nkolo (wayevalelwa ukubanjwa nentsangu), ukuqhuba xa utshaya imbiza akunakuba ngumbono olungileyo xa ungummeli obhiyozelwayo weziyobisi zokuzonwabisa. Kodwa uLeary wayenobuchule obumangalisayo bokuhlala emhlabeni ngeenyawo zakhe. Kungekudala emva kokuphazamiseka kwemithambo eTorremolinos, uLeary-owayefunda kwi-Holy Cross, wanyanzelwa ukuba aphume eWest Point ngokuxoka nokugxothwa kwiDyunivesithi yase-Alabama ngaphambi kokuba ade ayokuthweswa isidanga eBerkeley- wathetha ngendlela eya kumqeshi womfundisi eHarvard ngu Ukuxhasa ubuchwephesha bengqondo. Oku kwakuthetha ukuba ugqirha wezengqondo kufuneka ajonge iimeko zobomi bokwenyani ezinje ngendalo endle kwaye azibandakanye nesigulana, etshitshisa isikhululo sekliniki yesiqhelo (i-detachment yayingazange ibeyimpawu yeLeary).
Ukungeniswa kukaLeary kumakhowa kwenzeka eMexico ehlotyeni emva konyaka wakhe wokuqala eHarvard. Ubhengeze ukuba butshintshe ubomi bakhe: Ndifunde ngakumbi kwiiyure ezintandathu okanye ezisixhenxe zala mava kunakuyo yonke iminyaka yam njengengcali yeengqondo. Ngelo xesha, umntu osebenza naye owayezama ama-mushroom kwiminyaka embalwa ngaphambili wayelumkise uLeary ngokunyanzelwa kokubaleka ecacisa wonke umntu ngezi ziganeko zimangalisayo. Kodwa uLeary wayengenakukwazi ngaphezu kwabantu abaninzi ukumelana nomnqweno.
Yintoni eyahlula uLeary kwabanye abaninzi ababesebenzisa ii-psychedelics ngaxeshanye yayilulawulo olulula kunye nengqondo enye. Wanika isandi esilumayo-vula, uvule kwaye uphume-ukuba amajelo eendaba afuna ukuthetha ngeziyobisi zintsha. Kwaye uLeary akazange agqibe kwelokuba ufundile into ayifunayo kwi-psychedelics; akazange aqhubeke. Wayehamba rhoqo amashumi eminyaka, ngamanye amaxesha yonke imihla, kwaye wazisebenzisa nezinye iziyobisi izixa ezikhulu, kubandakanya notywala.
Wayenomdla omncinci kuphando kwi-psychedelics, ekhetha nje ukuvula abantu abaninzi ngangokunokwenzeka ngombono wokuba umhlaba uza kulunga ngandlel 'ithile xa wonke umntu ekhubekile. Wagxothwa eHarvard hayi ngenxa yokunika i-LSD ukuba inike abafundi isidanga namabanjwa ukukhawulezisa utshintsho kwindlela yokuziphatha (oko kwakulungile ngabaphathi), kodwa ngokuyeka izifundo zakhe ngo-Matshi waya eHollywood.
Okubaluleke ngakumbi kukuba abo bakholelwa ukuba ii-psychedelics zinokuba namandla amakhulu kunyango lwe-psychotherapy, i-Leary circus yenze i-hysteria ejikeleze i-LSD ekhokelela kwiCongress ukuyenza ukuba ibe semthethweni kwaye icime olunye uphando. U-Aldous Huxley ngokwakhe ukhathazekile ukuba inkxaso engagunyaziswanga kaLeary ye-psychedelics ingalimaza unobangela (ndiyamthanda kakhulu uTim-kodwa kutheni, oh kutheni, kufuneka abe yimpundu?). Kule ndawo isusa, ukungakhathali kukaLeary, kulungile, kuyaphazamisa: Abanye babantwana abahlala eMillbrook, N.Y., indawo apho wayemise khona ikomkhulu lakhe ngo-1963 babencitshiswe ngeasidi ngeveki; Unyana wakhe, uJack, wayesebenzisa idosi enkulu eneminyaka eli-16; kwaye uLeary akazange acinge nto ngokuqhuba kwi-asidi.
Ingxelo yokungcatshwa iyamangalisa ngokufanayo: Indoda enye eyayibethe umfazi wayo wesibini ebusweni yazama ukuguqula umfazi wayo wesithathu (owayencede ukumkhupha kwikota yakhe yokuqala yasejele kwaye ngubani owayengumbaleki ngelo xesha) Urhulumente wase-US ukuze azikhuphe entolongweni. Indoda enye eyathi ngo-1970 yakhuthaza ukudubula ipolisa elibulala irobhothi ukuba lihlawule i-Weather Underground ngokumnceda abaleke entolongweni, yajika ubungqina belizwe ngokuchasene negqwetha lakhe elalizimisele ukuzikhusela kwiminyaka emine kamva. Yayiyintoni loo ndlela malunga nendlela umoya ovuthuza ngayo?
Irekhodi likaLeary njengoyise liphantsi. Intombi yakhe uSusan isweleke ngesandla sakhe kungekudala emva kokudubula isoka lakhe entloko. Kwiminyaka yakhe yeshumi elivisayo nakwiminyaka yama-20, unyana kaLeary uJack wayehlala enesiyobisi kangangokuba wayengakwazi ukuthetha.
Ngokufanelekileyo, iintsuku zokugqibela zikaLeary (wasweleka ngenxa yomhlaza wedlala lobudoda ngo-1996) zadluliselwa kwisiyobisi phakathi kwabantu abangabazi abafuna ukubuyela kwihagu ngenxa yokungaziwa kwakhe.
IZINTO EZINOKWENZIWA NGOKUSETYENZISWA KOKUSETYENZISWA KWEZICWANGCISO ZE-PSYCHEDELIC zicetyiswa ngumbhali uB. (UBernard) Isimemo esincinci sikaFriedman, Ukurhuqa . Umnumzana Friedman kunye nenkosikazi yakhe engasekhoyo bakhubeka ekuqaleni kweminyaka engama-60 nge-psilocybin yoxubo-mayeza eyabonelelwa nguTimothy Leary. Abantu baseFriedman babeyinxalenye yamagcisa aseNew York, iimvumi kunye nama-haute bohemians uLeary wayexhalabile ukuba avule ukuze basasaze umyalezo wakhe-kwaye okwexeshana emva koko, uMnu. Friedman wayexakeke zii-psychedelics njengo-Leary, esenza ubuqhetseba njengo I-psilocybin eninzi njengoko enokwenza nophando.
Umnumzana Friedman ubonga ii-psychedelics ngokumnika ukuqonda kunye nomfanekiso-ngqondweni wokuyeka ugqatso lweempuku-kwimeko yakhe, indawo enengeniso eninzi kwishishini lokuthengisa izindlu nosapho (umama wakhe wayengu-Uris) -ukuze abe ngumbhali oqaqambileyo, uninzi I-biographies (phakathi kwezifundo zakhe nguGertrude Vanderbilt Whitney kunye nomhlobo wakhe uJackson Pollock). Nangona uMnu Friedman wayeka ukusebenzisa ii-psychedelics, akakho msulwa malunga nezi nezinye iziyobisi. Ngokungafaniyo noLeary, uMnu Friedman akalilo igama lekhaya, kwaye ngokungafaniyo noLeary, ubonakala ngathi lixhego elonwabileyo.
Kwiakhawunti yakhe yohambo, wayexhomekeke kwiingxelo zeseshoni awayezihambisa kuLeary, iingxelo ezibhaliweyo kusuku olunye okanye ezimbini emva kwesiganeko ngasinye. Entsha kumgama weminyaka engama-40, iinkcazo zakhe zezona zichanekileyo zichanekileyo zamava e-psychedelic endakha ndazifunda. Bacebisa ukuba ukukhuthazwa kwe-psychedelics (esinoTimothy Leary ukuba siyibulele), kunye nolwaphulo-mthetho olukhokeleleyo, yintlekele yaseMelika.
