I have been downloading a few more Timothy Leary recordings and just heard that phrase which I think it fantastic. "Any reality is an opinion, you make up your own realities", think about if for a while. That one line pretty much sums up the whole idea of "freeing people from collective delusions and the chains of irrational social structures" which I believe is more important now than ever before in a world that is so heavily influenced by the media. So many people are unaware that they can think for themselves, they don't realise they are being strung along, being told what to do, how to behave, how to live their lives. I have influenced a friend "open his eyes" and see things from his own perspective. He described himself as feeling outcast much in the same way as I do but concluded that he would rather view things from this perspective than any other.

Some things he has said I find quite eccentric but read up on him if you wish and make your own mind up or as he would say "think for yourself".
