"The use of electronic energies to intensify Fifth Circuit raptures--rock'n'roll, eroticism, pornographic films and video-tapes, electric brain stimulation of pleasure centers--are useful because they support self-definition as electronic consumer dialing and tuning realities. At the same time the old Hive Establishment uses the new energies to support its reality. FBI wire taps, smart bombs, soviet control of radio-electronic communication. This misuse of these frequencies to strengthen police surveillance, military force, larval economic systems, occult mythologies and hive moralities is natural during this beginning transitional stage in evolution." |
| "Each cultural group sets up its rules for virtuous behavior, sanctifies actions which contribute to the preservation of the hive. Society is based on the control and direction of socio-sexual behavior. The particular soc-sex virtues of the group--emotional, symbolic, and stylistic--are usually determined early in the group's history by dominant leaders who impose their fourth imprint sexual eccentricities on the culture. St. Paul didn't like women. Mohammed was polygamous-exploitive. Luther was paternal. Since most modern societies have been codified by menopausal, power-oriented men, the moral systems tend to be prudish, exploitive and chauvinistic. Social responsibilities thus determine virtue and sin--which are always sexual in nature." Timothy Leary | |
