think for yourself, question authority

three weeks to the day since i last moved to a plane of higher consciousness, since i last altered reality, since i last slid into a parallel world. i feel restricted, oppressed.. by the powers that be, by the assholes that make laws such as mandatory substance screening tests for entry level employees!! isn't that breaking the First Amendment, the freedom of expression?!

i've been slogging my ass off working at the library, then going to the lab and doing more shit.. don't i deserve to come home and fire up a nice reefer.. or a small bowl, to go with my beer and dinner?!

read what Dr. Timothy Leary has to say, from 'How To Operate Your Brain'..

Think for yourself, Question authority

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.

Think for yourself, Question authority.

as used in "Third Eye", by Tool from the album 'Salival'.

by the way, did anyone notice the whole irony of it?! an anti-establishment writer, who promotes freedom of speech and thought, advocating the throwing off of mind controls placed upon us by authorities.. titles his book 'How To Operate Your Brain'?? ohh the bitter irony of it all..

what is the truth?!
