In 1987 at Timothy Leary's house in Beverly Hills, California, Tim and Dr Christopher S Hyatt got together and made this recording. But the cassette went missing for over 20 years and just recently resurfaced! Their discussion is fascinating on many levels. Among other things, you might note how these two very talented people brainstorm the then-upcoming re-release of Tim's Future History Series: Exo-Psychology (redone as Info-Psychology), Neuropolitics (retitled Neuropolitique), The Game of Life, Intelligence Agents, and What Does WoMan Want? Some of the ideas came to fruition, some did not. Such is the nature of the creative process. . .

Christopher S Hyatt, Ph.D. was trained in both psycho-physiology and clinical psychology and practised as a psychotherapist for many years. He has published many articles in peer-reviewed, professional journals. Today he is known as the world-famous author of a wide variety of books on psychology, sex, tantra, tarot, self-transformation and Western magic., Timothy Leary, Ph.D. 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 Charlie 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. He died of cancer in 1996.
