Welcome to the
Psychedelic Bookstore 1

Albert Hoffman strongly believes LSD can be a beneficial way for one to get to know oneself
and experience other worlds, but only if the user is mentally and physically prepared for the journey.

I have attempted to create a bookstore that features the pioneers and visionaries
that have promoted the use of psychedelics to open the "Doors of Perception."
It seems after my research that this is a most "under studied" area
of transpersonal psychology, human behavior, therapeutic studies and methodolgies and escaping the "Matrix"
-partly due to the demonizing and the illegality of these mind expanding gifts from Nature.

So please enjoy this montage of authors, scientists, scholars, psychologists and "interior explorers."

There are more "psychedelic explorers" in our Beat Generation Bookstore
-Ken Kesey, Tom Wolfe, and many others.

Also visit our Cannabis Bookstore for more information on "higher consciousness."

60s & Further does endorse the safe use of psychedelics..
especially the organic variety gifted to us from Gaia.
I also highly suggest that if you have never "tripped" that you should absolutely
find a guide famliar with the process of mind expansion-
-also be in a friendly and safe environment (Nature is always the perfect place),
these 2 factors, I believe, are imperative to be able to learn from your experience and integrate the experience
into your consciousness and life..your perception of your own Divinity and Potentialities.

I also have attempted to present books and theories of "what we do after we have opened the doors to perception"
and our Higher Selves..books that will point us to new directions of Be-Ing-thinking and creating our own realities.

I also have presented books on Shamanism which are important to consider as that is what we are practising-
as recognizing the healing possibilities and the sacredness of what Nature has offered us. Om Shanti, Shakti, Om

Dr. Timothy Leary
1920 - 1996

Timothy Francis Leary was born is Springfield, Massachusetts in 1920. He attended West Point in the early '40s (where he didn't exactly fit in) and then served in the military during WWII. He earned his PhD in psychology from U.C. Berkeley and taught there briefly but moved to Harvard after his first wife's death. He first took psilocybin mushrooms in 1960 during a trip to Mexico. When he returned to Harvard he began the Harvard Psilocybin Project, studying the effects of psilocybin on humans. As part of the project he, along with Richard Alpert and Ralph Metzner, gave psilocybin to a series of volunteers including Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, and Arthur Koestler, among others.

Leary was a respected Harvard psychology professor who became a guru for hundreds of thousands of people, espousing the use of the powerful hallucinogen LSD and other mind-altering drugs as a means of brain change. After he was forced out of academia, Leary became associated with many of the great names of the time including Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and Charles Mingus. In the mid-1960s his fame grew to international proportions. He was targeted as "the most dangerous man in the world" by the U.S. government and given a 10-year sentence for possession of two marijuana cigarettes. After he was released from prison, he continued to advocate brain-change through various means including computer software.

He acted in a number of movies, and was well-regarded as a stand-up comedian/philosopher. Leary became interested in virtual reality and cyberculture and spent the last twenty years of his life writing and lecturing. He worked with a group of friends to document his own process of dying from prostate cancer. He died quietly in his own bed, surrounded by friends, and on Feb 9 1997, a portion of Leary's cremated remains were launched into space.

Aldous Huxley
(1894-1963)

Aldous Huxley was a novelist and essayist, born in Godalming, Surrey, England, the grandson of T.H. Huxley.
He studied at Oxford, where he published two volumes of poetry.
He lived mainly in Italy in the 1920s, (where he met and befriended D.H. Lawrence) and moved to California in 1937.
His early writing included poetry, short stories, and literary journalism,
but his reputation was made with his novels Crome Yellow, Antic Hay, and Brave New World.
He was a philosopher and non-conformist who used writing as a vehicle for his ideas.
His later writing became more mystical in character, culminating in Island, the story of an optimistic utopia.

In May 1953, Huxley was introduced to mescaline by Humphry Osmond,
an experience he described in his book The Doors of Perception.
Two years later, in 1955, he was introduced to LSD by Al Hubbard.
Huxley had a great interest in the process of death and dying
as well as in the mental states achieved through psychedelic drugs.
When his first wife Maria was dying of cancer in 1955,
he used hypnotic techniques to talk her through the memory
of ecstatic experiences she had earlier in life.
Then in 1963, at his request, his second wife and partner Laura Huxley
administered LSD to him hours before his own death.

Robert Anton Wilson
1932-NEVER

One of the most profound and important scientific philosophers of this century,
Wilson has written many important works of fiction and non-fiction.
His vast intelligence and sharp wit are sufficient to shock and enlighten
the most heavily imprinted domesticated primate nervous system.

In a 2003 interview with High Times magazine,
RAW described himself as a "Model Agnostic" which he says "
consists of never regarding any model or map of Universe
with total 100% belief or total 100% denial.

RAW holds the post of American director of the
Committee for Surrealist Investigation of Claims of the Normal (CSICON).
