How to Operate Your Brain

When we learn to unlearn our conditioned ways of thinking, we begin to discover how wrong humanity has been in the past, and how right we can become if we change in the present moment and evolve into a digital future. This video inspires an evolution in consciousness, catalysing changes in the mind, opening up the possibility for a global language of light to emerge, the language of the friendship cube. A new language is developing, a language of photons, of light waves… light waves representing thought forms… ideas travelling around the world creating solutions. We live in a global nexus of ideas and the portal into a digital future, a future of visual binary communication, that portal is the friendship cube. And the cube is our companion in this evolution of consciousness. After a certain stage, we will be thinking in binary code, and we will be capable of uploading visual binary neuro-signals to computers… possibly even extending human memories into databases that can be carried by robotic bodies. The possibility for trans-humanism and cybernetic consciousness exists as a result of the friendship cube and the technology of visual binary communication. I look forward to the day when I communicate using visual binary light signals. Speaking in sound will no longer be necessary when we evolve into space-born, light beings. This evolutionary re-birth for humanity is a long-prophesied day that I hope to live myself, and maybe even meet the ghost of Timothy Leary in that new world.

This post is in response to a previous post with the title "weak effort." I'm the director of the movie so I won't state my opinion here and I will rate it 5 to be fair. The movie is based on the multimedia lecture Dr. Leary performed around the world in the early 90s. The previous post states, "Leary's script does not really contain much of interest." Here is a quote from the movie. See for yourself whether you find this interesting or not:

"Then came Marshall McCluhan, in the 1950's. McCluhan said, in the Socratic sense, 'The medium is the message.' The words you use, the modes of communication you use determine the realities you inhabit. Most of our lives, most of us live in realities determined by others, imprinted in our brains by education, by religion, by politics, by the authorities. McCluhan said, 'If you want to change your mind, change the medium.' Change the words you use. Change the mode of communication. If you change the medium, you change yourself. You change your society."

This video is obviously intended to be viewed by a select crowd that is interested in self awareness via not only "normal" means but, via alternative avenues as well. The video came out during the "Cyber-Punk" / Rave movement and is Fantastic if viewed under the right conditions. Those who possess the sheep mentality will not likely understand the concept of this video.

Every metaphor approximating the visionary experience is optical: illumination, revelation, insight, perspective, reflection. This video works from that perspective. The human brain is starved for electronic stimulation; the human brain is addicted to light. The brain is designed to design realities.

This film is roughly 29 minutes long, about 24 minutes longer than it should be. For the entire time the viewer is bombarded with flashing images, most of which are indiscernible and Leary's commentary which, in a nutshell, is "chaos is good, question authority".

The problem is that the images soon become incredibly annoying and Leary's script does not really contain much of interest.

The people Leary is trying to reach out to in this film will be turning off after 5 minutes.

Overall.

this film is a.

little weak really

A trippy guide about how to get rid of the control of society, capitalism, consumerism, and generally from the oppression of authority by enhancing chaos in your own mind.

If you expect some sort of Hollywood cliché movie, then please do NOT watch this. Go instead for some Superman, or Die Hard movie, those can be really exciting, and you will not need to think much about them. However if you want to BREAK FREE from the oppression of your soul by deeply thinking, enhancing altered states of the mind, then this is a really good start. If you read about the life of Leary, you will see that he was always a rebel, a freelancer researcher, a spiritual guide, and a student of the whole Universe. This short movie will not give you final answers, it is rather a thought provoking tool that one can use.
