POE was of inestimable … use to me -round 1998/99 IE in 1st-y-r in university which is when I happen-d on Leary proper. – I remember (in exams) re-interpreting Kierkegaard in light of the 8-circuit theory of consciousness from the 70s which is o-course a development (…) of the (variously) 7-level schemae in the book. – 1st & final essays really impress-d me & still do: invocations constituting a different kind of eviden(ce/tial value) …

The 1995 ‘Surfing the Conscious Nets’ strikes me as the (aporetic) apotheosis – IE nothing like the apotheosis – of his work … at least in a way –

Y-know there-s someone-s Master-s thesis out there on Leary? Arno Ruthofer y-can find him (& it) throu- Google. – Largely exegetic & I think ultimately … fruitless but w-some … quotes which may indeed be said to gain cognitive power from such a superficially inauspicious relocation –
