If you've become a dead robot with your consciousness hooked into routines, and *more* routines:
Drop Out - Detach yourself from the external social drama which is as dehydrated and ersatz as TV.
Turn On - Find a sacrament which returns you to the temple of God -- your own body. Go out of your mind. Get high.
Tune In - Drop back in to express it. Start a new sequence of behavior that reflects your vision. Be reborn. Become your highest vision of you. Death. Life. Structure. The sequence must continue. You cannot stand still.
-- Timothy Leary (1920-1996), American writer, psychologist, and 1960s counterculture icon, Start Your Own Religion (1967)
