34 The Cenacle / 54 / April 2005 Words by Timothy Leary Art by Fu333
Raymond Soulard, Jr. Secret Joy Amongst These Times: The History of Scriptor Press, 1995 to the Present Think for yourself & question authority Dr. Timothy Leary Chaapter Nine continued from The Cenacle / 53 / October 2005 One of the guiding myths of my life during 2002 was the Greek tale of Orpheus & Eurydice. Orpheus, the god of music, marries the oak nymph Eurydice, but loses her to a snake’s fatal bite on their wedding day. Distraught, refusing her death, he follows into the Underworld to retrieve her. His plea of musical anguish moves the gods to grant him her safe return to the land of living souls, provided he does not look back at her as they climb with a guide back to daylight. Orpheus fails this test & loses her again, for good. I fancied my romance of that time with Lisa Marie Zent to have such deep meaning to it, & I followed my nymph across the continent to retrieve her. I failed, perhaps never having a chance anyway, & by year’s end found myself alone, destitute, & nearly gone. What lesson? Follow your heart—at your own risk. Be true but vow to survive whatever outcome. Few souls are worth your demise. The ones of that value would do everything to prevent it. The girl I chased did not. 2002 crushed me; its only fair news is that I did not stay crushed. At the beginning of the year I was still living in the Boston, Massachusetts area, same home since 1996, months into collecting unemployment, courting my girlfriend by phone from 3000 miles away. Scriptor Press’s only active projects were its website ElectroLounge & my weekly radio show, “Within’s Within: Scenes from the Psychedelic Revolution,” broadcast on Sunday afternoons on Allston-Brighton Free Radio. 35 The Cenacle / 54 / April 2005
