Description
Excellent, guaranteed original, 1967 Psychedelic LP by ALAN WATTS entitled "OM - The Sound Of Hinduism" on Warner Brothers Records (#1723, Mono). Author-Lecturer Alan Watts Evokes The Sound of Hinduism. When Alan returned to the United States, he began to dabble in psychedelic drug experiences, initially with mescaline given to him by Dr. Oscar Janiger. He tried LSD several times with various research teams led by Drs. Keith Ditman, Sterling Bunnell, and Michael Agron. He also tried marijuana and concluded that it was a useful and interesting psychoactive drug that gave the impression of time slowing down. Watts’ books of the 60s reveal the influence of these chemical adventures on his outlook. He would later comment about psychedelic drug use, "When you get the message, hang up the phone." For a time, Watts came to prefer writing in the language of modern science and psychology (Psychotherapy East and West is a good example), finding a parallel between mystical experiences and the theories of the material universe proposed by 20th-century physicists. He later equated mystical experience with ecological awareness, and typically emphasized whichever approach seemed best suited to the audience he was addressing. Condition: Cover = beautiful VG+ (very light wear, no seam splits, in shrink wrap), Record = beautiful VG++ (very light paper scuffs - plays through fine though!). Winning bidder to add $3.50 postage in the USA. Good luck - check out my other auctions for more vintage records for sale and save on combined postage costs!
