"Love one another, for Love is the Law"!

Leary's perspective:  [Completely quoted from Robert A. Wilson]

I.   "The Bio-Survival Circuit":  This invertebrate brain was the
first to evolve [2 to 3 billion years ago] and is first activated when
a human infant is born.  It programs perception onto an either-or grid
divided into nuturing-helpful Things [which it approaches] and
noxious-dangerous things [which it flees or attacks].  The imprinting
of this circuit sets up the basic attitude of trust or suspicion which
will last for life.  It also identifies the external stimuli which
will after trigger approach or avoidance.

II.  "The Emotional Circuit":  This second, more advanced bio-computer
formed when vertebrates appeared and began to compete for territory
[perhaps 500,000,000 B.C.] .  In the individual, this bigger tunnel-
reality is activated when the DNA master-tape triggers the
metamorphosis from crawling to walking.  As every parent knows, the
toddler is no longer a passive [bio-survival] infant but a mammalian
politician, full of physical [and psychic] territorial demands, quick
to meddle in family business and decision-making.  Again the first
imprint on this circuit remains constant for life [unless brainwashed]
and identifies the stimuli which will automatically trigger dominant,
aggressive behavior or submissive, cooperative behavior.  When we say
a person is behaving emotionally, egotistically or "like a two year
old", we mean that s/he is blindly following one of the tunnel-
realities imprinted on this circuit.

III.  "The Dexterity-Symbolism Circuit":  This third brain was formed
when hominid types began to differentiate from other primate stock.
[circa 4-5 million B.C.] and is activated when the older child begins
handling artifacts and sending/receiving laryngeal signals [human
speech units].  If the environment is stimulating to the third
circuit, the child takes a bright imprint and becomes dexterous and
articulate; if the environment is made of stupid people, the child
takes a "dumb" imprint, i.e., remains more or less at a 5-year-old
stage of artifact clumsiness and symbol-blindness.  In popular speech,
the first circuit tunnel-reality is generally called "consciousness"
per se:  the sense of being here-now, in this body, oriented to the
survival of the body.  [When you are "un-conscious", the first circuit
is anesthetized and doctors may perform surgery on you or enemies may
attack you, and you will not evade them or flee].  The second Circuit,
in the same vernacular language, is called "ego".  So-called "ego" is
the second circuit mammalian sense of status [importance-unimportance]
in the pack or tribe.  The third circuit is what we generally call
"mind"-the capacity to receive, integrate and transmit signals
produced by the hominid hand [artifacts] or the hominid 9 laryngeal
muscles [speech].  The imprinting of these three circuits determines,
by about age 3.5, the basic degree and style of trust/distrust that
will colour"consciousness", the degree and style of
assertivness/submissiveness that will determine "ego"-status, and the
degree and style of cleverness/clumsiness with which "mind" will
handle tools or ideas.

In evolutionary terms, the first brain "consciousness" is basically
invertebrate, passively floating toward nurture and retreating from
danger. Second brain "ego" is mammalian, always struggling for status
in the tribal pecking-order.  Third brain "mind" is paleolithic,
hooked into human culture and dealing with life through a matrix of
human made gadgets and human created symbolism.  The fourth brain is
post-hominid, specifically characteristic of Homo-sapiens, the
"domesticated" WoMan. This is:

IV.  "The Socio-Sexual Circuit":  This fourth brain was formed when
hominid packs evolved into societies and programmed specific sex-roles
for their members, circa 30,000 B.C.  It is activated at puberty, when
the DNA signals trigger the glandular release of sexual neurochemicals
and the metemorphosis to adulthood begins.  The first orgasms or
mating experiences imprint a characteristic sex-role which, again, is
biochemically bonded and remains constant for life, unless some form
of brain-washing or chemical re-imprinting is accomplished.  In daily
speech, fourth circuit imprints and tunnel-realities are known as the
"adult personality". Masters and Johnson have demonstratedthat
specific sexual "dysfunctions"-so called "perversions", "fetishes",
low-or-no performance conditions like premature ejaculation,
impotence, frigidity, etc., or imprints defined as "sinful" by the
local tribe-are determined by specific experiences in early adolescent
mating.  The same is true of the equally robotic behavior of the
"normal", "well-adjusted" person.  The sex-role of the human is as
rote and repetitious as that of any other mammal.

These four circuits are normally all the networks of the brain ever
activated. It should now be clear why Leary calls them terrestial.
They have evolved on, and have been shaped by, the gravitational,
climatic and energy conditions determining survival and reproduction
on this kind of planet circling this variety of Type G star.
Intelligent organisms born in outer space, not living at the bottom of
a 4,000-mile gravity well, not competing for territory on a finite
planet-surface, not limeted by the forward-back, up-down, right-left
parameters of earthly life, would inevitably develop different
circuits, imprinted differently, and not so inflexibly Euclidean.
Forward-back is the basic digital choice programmed by the biocomputer
operating on circuit I:  Either advance, go forward, sniff it, touch
it, taste it, bite it-or retreat, back away, flee, escape.  Up-down,
the basic gravitational sense, appears in all ethological reports of
animal combat.  Rear up, swell the body to the maximum size, growl,
shriek-or cringe, drop the tail between the legs, murmur softly, skulk
away, crawl and shrink the body size. These are the domination and
submission signals common to iguana, dog, bird, and the chair-man of
the board of the local bank.  These reflexes make up circuit II "ego".

Right-left is basic to the polarity of body-design on the planetface.
Right-hand dominance, and associated preference for the linear left-
lobe functions of the brain, determine our normal modes of artifact-
manufacture and conceptual thought, i.e., third circuit "mind".  It is
no accident, then, that our logic [and our computer-design] follows
the either-or, binary structure of these circuits.  Nor is it an
accident that our geometry, until the last century, has been
Euclidean.  Euclid's geometry, Aristotle's logic and Newton's physics
are meta-programs synthesizing and generalizing first brain forward-
back, second brain up-down and third brain right-left programs.  Since
each of these tunnel-realities consists of biochemical imprints or
matrices in the nervous system, each of them is specificlly triggered
by neuro-transmitters and other drugs.  To activate the first brain
take an opiate.  Mother Opium and sister Morphine bring you down to
cellular intelligence, bio-survival passitivity, the floating
consciousness of the newborn. [This is why Freudians identify opiate
addiction with the desire to return to infancy].

To activate the second tunnel-reality, take an abundant quantity of
alcohol. Vertebrate territorial patterns and mammalian emotional
politics immediately appear when the booze flows, as Thomas Nashe
intuitively realized when he characterized the various alcohol states
by animal lables: "ass drunk", "goat drunk", "swine drunk", "bear
drunk", etc.  To activate the third circuit, try coffee or tea, a high
protein diet, speed or cocaine.  The specific neurotransmitter for
circuit four has not been synthesized yet, but it is generated by the
glands after pubesence and flows volcanically through the blood-
streams of adolescents.  None of these terrestrial drugs change basic
biochemical imprints. The behaviors which they trigger are those which
were wired into the nervous system during the first stages of imprint
vulnerability.  The circuit II drunk exhibits the emotional games or
cons learned from parents in infancy.  The circuit III "mind" never
goes beyond the permutations and combinations of those tunnel-
realities originally imprinted, or abstractions associated with the
imprints through later conditioning.  And so forth. But all this
Pavlovian-Skinnerian robotism changes drastically and dramatically
when we turn to the right lobe, the future circuits and
extraterrestrial chemicals.

V.   "The Neurosomatic Circuit":  When this fifth "body-brain" is
activated, flat Euclidean figure-ground configurations explode multi-
dimensionally.  Gestalts shift, in Mc Luhan's terms, from linear
visual space to all-encompassing sensory space. A hedonic turn-on
occurs, a rapturous amusement, a detachment from the previously
compulsive mechanism of the first four circuits. I turned this circuit
on with pot and tantra.  This fifth brain began to appear about 4,000
years ago in the first leisure-class civilizations and has been
increasing statistically in recent centuries [even before the drug
revolution], a fact demonstrated by the hedonic art of India, China,
Rome and other affluent societies. More recently, Ornstein and his
school have demonstrated with electroencephalograms that this circuit
represents the first jump from the linear left lobe of the brain to
the analogical right lobe.

The opening and imprinting of this circuit has been the preoccupation
of "technicians of the occult"-Tantric shamans and hatha yogis.  While
the fifth tunnel-reality can be achieved by sensory deprivation,
social isolation, physiological stress or severe shock [ceremonial
terror tactics, as practiced by such rascal-gurus as Don Juan Matus or
Aleister Crowley], it has traditionally been reserved to the educated
aristocracy of leisure societies who have solved the four terrestrial
survival problems.  About 20,000 years ago, the specific fifth brain
neurotransmitter was discovered by shamans in the Caspian Sea area of
Asia and quickly spread to other wizards throughout Eurasia and
Africa. It is, of course, cannabis.  Weed.  Mother Mary Jane.  It is
no accident that the pot-head refers to his neural state as "high" or
"spaced out". The transcendence of gravitational, digital, linear,
either-or, Aristotelian, Newtonian, Euclidean, planetary orientations
[circuits I-IV] is, in evolutionary perspective, part of our
neurological preparation for the inevitable migration off our home
planet, now beginning.  This is why so many pot-heads are Star Trek
freaks and science-fiction adepts.

[Berkeley, California, certainly the Cannabis Capitol of the U.S., has
a Federation Trading Post on Telegraph Avenue, where the well-heeled
can easily spend $500 or more in a single  day. buying Star Trek
novels, magazines, newsletters, bumper stickers, photographs, posters,
tapes, etc., including even complete blueprints for the starship
Enterprise].

The extraterrestrial meaning of being "high", is confirmed by
astronauts themselves; 85% of those who have entered free-fall of zero
gravity describe "mystic experiences" or rapture states typical of the
neurosomatic circuit.  "No photo can show how beautiful Earth looked",
raves Captain Ed Mitchell, describing his Illumination in free-fall.
He sounds like any successful yogi or pot-head.  No camera can show
this experience because it is inside the nervous system.  Free-fall,
at the proper evolutionarry time, triggers the neurosomatic mutation,
Leary believes. Previously this mutation has been achieved
"artificially" by yogic or shamanic training or by the fifth circuit
stimulant, cannabis.

Surfing, skiing, skin diving and the new sexual culture [sensuous massage,
vibrators, imported Tantric arts, etc.] have evolved at the same time as
part of the hedonic conquest of gravity.  The turn-on state is always
described as "floating", or, in the Zen metaphor, "one foot above the
ground".

VI.  "The Neuroelectric Circuit":  The sixth brain consists of the
nervous system becoming aware of itself apart from imprinted
gravitational reality-maps [circuits I-IV] and even apart from body
rapture [circuit V]. Count Korzybski, the semanticist, called this
state "consciousness of abstracting".  Dr. John Lilly calls it
"metaprogramming".

This Einsteinian, relativistic contelligence [consciousness-
intelligence] recognises, for instance, that the Euclidean, Newtonian
and Aristotelian reality-maps are just three amung billions of
possible programs or models for experience.  I turned this circuit on
with Peyote, LSD and Crowley's "magick" metaprograms.  This level of
brain-functioning seems to have been reported first around 500 B.C.
among various "occult" groups connected by the Silk Route [Rome-North
India].  It is so far beyond the terrestrial tunnel-realities that
those who have achieved it can barely communicate about it to ordinary
humanity [circuits I-IV] and can hardly be understood even by fifth
circuit Rapture Engineers.

The characteristics of the neuroelectric circuit are high velocity,
multiple choice, relativity, and the fission-fusion of all perceptions
into parallel science-fiction universes of alternate possibilities.
The mammalian politics which monitor power struggles among terrestrial
humanity are here transcended, i.e., seen as static, artificial, an
elaborate charade.  One is neither coercively manipulated into
another's territorial reality nor forced to struggle against it with
reciprocal emotion game-playing [the usual soap-opera dramatics].  One
simply elects, consciously, whether or not to share the other's
reality model.  Tactics for opening and imprinting the sixth circuit
are described and rarely experienced in advanced rajah yoga, and in
the hermetic [coded] manuals of the midieval-Renaissance alchemists
and Illuminati.  No specific sixth circuit chemical is yet available,
but strong psychedelics like mescaline [from my 1962-63 "Sacred
Cactus" Peyotl] and psilo-cybin [from the Mexican "magic mushroom",
teonactl] open the nervous system to a mixed a media series of circuit
V and circuit VI channels.  This is appropriately called "tripping",
as distinguished from straight-forward fifth circuit "turning on", or
"getting high".

The suppression of scientific research in this area has had the
unfortunate result of turning the outlaw drug culture back toward
fifth circuit hedonics and pre-scientific tunnel-realities [the occult
revival, solipsism, Pop Orientalism].  Without scientific discipline
and methodology, few can successfully decode the often frightening
[but philo-sophically crucial] sixth circuit metaprogramming signals.
Such scientists as do continue this study dare not publish their
results [which are illegal] and record ever-wider tunnel-realities
only in private conversations-like the scholars of the Inquisitorial
era.  [Voltaire announced the Age of Reason two centuries too soon.
We are still in the Dark Ages].  Most underground alchemists have
given up on such challenging and risky self-work and restrict their
trips to fifth circuit erotic tunnels.  The evolutionary function of
the sixth circuit is to enable us to communicate at Einsteinian
relativities and neuroelectric accelerations. not using the third
circuit laryngeal-manual symbols but directly via feedback, telepathy
and computer link-up. Neuro-electric signals will increasingly replace
"speech" [hominid grunts] after space migration.

When humans have climbed out of the atmosphere-gravity well of
planetary life, accelerated sixth circuit contelligence will make
possible high-energy communication with "higher Intelligences", i.e.,
ourselves-in-the-future and other post-terrestrial races.  It is
charmingly simple and obvious, once we realize that the spaced-out
neural experiences really are extraterrestrial, that getting high and
spaced-out are accurate netaphors.  Circuit V neuro-somatic rapture is
preperation for the next step in our evolution, migration off the
planet. Circuit VI is preperation for the step after that,
interspecies communication with advanced entities possessing
electronic [post-verbal] tunnel-realities.  Circuit VI is the
"univesal-translator" ofter imagined by science fiction writers,
already built into our brains by the DNA tape.  Just as the circuits
of the future butterfly are already built into the caterpillar.

VII.  "The Neurogenetic Circuit":  The seventh brain kicks into action
when the nervous system begins to receive signals from within the
individual neuron, from the DNA-RNA dialouge. The first to achieve
this mutation spoke of "memories of past lives", "reincarnation",
"immortality", etc.  That these adepts were recording something real
is indicated by the fact that many of them [especially Hindus and
Sufis] gave marvelously accurate poetic vistas of evolution 1,000 or
2,000 years before Darwin, and foresaw Superhumanity before Nietzsche.
The "akashic records" of Theosophy, the "collective unconscious" of
Jung, the "phylogenetic un-conscious" of Grof and Ring, are three
modern metaphors for this circuit. The visions of past and future
evolution described by those who have had "out-of-body" experiences
during close-to-death episodes also describes the trans-time circuit
VII tunnel-reality.  Specific exercises to trigger circuit VII are not
to be found in yogic teaching; it usually happens, if at all, after
several years of the kind of advanced rajah yoga that develops circuit
VI facility.

The specific circuit VII neurotransmitter is, of course, LSD. [Peyote
and psilocybin produce some circuit VII experiences also].  Circuit
VII is best considered, in terms of 1977 science, as the genetic
archives, activated by anti-histone proteins.  The DNA memory coiling
back to the dawn of life. A sense of the inevitability of immortality
and interspecies symbiosis comes to all circuit VII mutants;  we can
now see that this, also, is an evolutionary forcast, since we stand
right now on the doorstep of extended longevity leading to
immortality.  The exact role of the right lobe circuits and the reason
for their activation in the 1960's cultural revolution now becomes
clear.  As sociologist F.M. Esfandiary writes in "Upwingers", "Today
when we speak of immortality and of going to another world we no
longer mean these in a theological or metaphysical sense. People are
now traveling to other worlds.  People are now striving for
immortality.  Transcendence is no longer a metaphysical concept.  It
has become reality".  The evolutionary, aeon-spanning tunnel-reality
is to prepare us for conscious immortality and inter-species
symbiosis.

VIII.  "The Neuro-Atomic Circuit":  Hold on to your hats and breathe
deeply-this is the farthest-out that human intelligence has yet
ventured: Consciousness probably preceeds the biological unit or DNA
tape-loop. "Out-of-body-experiences", "astral projection", contact
with alien [extraterrestrial?] entities or with a galactic Overmind,
etc., such as I have experienced, have all been reported for thousands
of years, not merely by the ignorant, the superstitious, the gullible,
but often by the finest minds among us [Socrates, Giordana Bruno,
Edison, Buckminster Fuller, etc.].  Such experiences are reported
daily to parapsychologists and have been experienced by such
scientists as Dr. John Lilly and Carlos Castaneda.  Dr. Kenneth Ring
has attributed these phenomena to what he calls, very appropriately,
"the extraterrestrial un-conscious".  Dr. Leary suggests that circuit
VIII is literally neuro-atomic-infra, supra and meta-physiological-a
quantum mechanical communication system which does not require a
biological container.  The attempt to construct a quantum model of
consciousness and/or a conscious model of quantum mechanics by the
turned-on physicists discussed previously, indicates strongly that the
"atomic consciousness" first suggested by Leary in "The Seven Tongues
of God" [1962] is the explanatory link which will unite parapsychology
and paraphysics into the first scientific empirical experimental
theology in history.

When the nervous system is turned on to this quantum-level circuit,
space-time is obliterated.  Einstein's speed-of-light barrier is
transcended;  in Dr. Sarfatti's metaphor, we escape "electromagnetic
chauvinism".  The contelligence within the quantum projection booth is
the the entire cosmic brain, just as the micro-miniaturized DNA helix
is the local brain guiding planetary evolution.  As Lao-tse said from
his own Circuit VIII perspective,"the greatest is within the
smallest".  Circuit VIII is triggered by Katamine, a neuro-chemical
reserched by Dr. John Lilly, which is also [according to a wide spread
but unconfirmed rumor] given to astronauts to prepare them for space.
High doses of LSD also produce some circuit VIII quantum awareness.

This neuro-atomic contelligence is four mutations beyond terrestrial
domesticity. [The current ideological struggle is between circuit IV
tribal moralists-or-collectivists and circuit V hedonic
individualists].  When our need for higher intelligence, richer
involvement in the cosmic script, further transcendence, will no
longer be satisfied by physical bodies, not even by immortal bodies
hopping across space-time at warp 9, circuit VIII will open a further
frontier.

New universes and realities.  "Beyond theology:   the science and art
of Godmanship", as Alan Watts once wrote.  It is therefore possible
that the mysterious "entities" [angels and extra-terrestrials]
monotonously reported by circuit VIII visionaries are members of races
already evolved to this level.  But it is also possible, as Leary and
Sarfatti , more recently suggest, that They are ourselves-in-the-
future.  The left-lobe terrestrial circuits contain the learned
lessons of our evolutionary past [and present].  The right-lobe
extraterrestrial circuits are the evolutionary script for our future.
