The serious and practical intention of the Starseed company to launch a frail and pitifully slow craft into the limitless expanse of space in the hopes of contacting technologically superior civilizations may seem futilely optimistic. But in another sense we are simply following the historical imperatives provided for us by our immediate past. Imagine the year is 1490 and that we belong to an Amerindian tribe living on the Atlantic coast. We outfit our largest canoe, filled with water and supplies and head east hoping to find what actually there existed, the superior technologies of England, Spain and Portugal. What a dramatic change it would have effected in the psychological history of the world if Europe had been discovered by the Indians, sailing into Cadiz harbor with the proud, confident dignity of a race who dared to dream. That, after all, is the main difference between generations and races of humanity. There are those who discover and those who wait to be discovered. - Timothy Leary, Terra II ...A Way Out

Finally! From out of the darkness of the early 21st Century comes an accessible edition of what is perhaps the most optimistic vision ever shared of humanity's role in the cosmic order. This is the quintessence of Timothy Leary. - Douglas Rushkoff, media theorist, writer, columnist, lecturer

The hope and optimism of the 1960s finds no better expression than a proposed journey aboard the space-city/time-ship Terra II. Received and written as a group invocation led by Dr. Timothy Leary tuning in and turning on to cosmic signaling and DNA intelligence. Herein we find the SMI2LE formula fully elucidated and mapped out in a practical application that directly confronts many of the problems and challenges that would inevitably arise. Far ahead of its time, but as timely as ever, this visionary blueprint provides one answer to the questions, where do we go from here and how do we get there? - Oz Fritz, music producer, sound engineer, writer
