About this film

Expanding Visions: An introduction to the new age movement. Timothy Leary speaks about technology 12 minutes and 40 seconds into the show. This video covers a New Age exposition. Cultural leaders of importance to the New Age movement are interviewed. Vendors promote their commercial interests. Dr. Timothy Leary describes how, in his opinion, the New Age movement is the most hopeful thing for the New Thought movement. He talks about how people will become linguists with respect to the computer, and how he sees computer technology empowering the individual to put his or her own message onto the TV screen. Timothy Leary discusses how he sees technology and spirituality as extentions of each other. He calls technology without spirituality "nazisim." According to Tim, expressing oneself through the computer uses the fundamental quantum mechanics of the universe, and thus is a spiritual expression. Timothy Leary re-iterates his message of "Think for yourself and Question Authority."
