  A chapter from the as yet
  unpublished
  "Inner Space, Outer Space"
  By
  Timothy
  Leary
  
  SPACE MIGRATION
  Let us now consider
  three neo-ancient
  ideas which are going
  to
  change your
  lives.
  These three classic novelties are Space
  Migration,
  Intelligence Increase
  and
  Life Extension.
  I
  flatly predict that more than half of you reading
  these words
  will,
  in the
  next decade or
  two,
  be
  living,
  working,
  playing or
  paying resort vacation visits
  to High Orbital
  ir!ini-earths
  Everyone reading these
  lines
  is going
  to witness,
  hopefully,
  within your own nervous
  system,
  but certainly
  in
  the nervous
  systems
  of most of your
  fellow species,
  an incredible acceleration
  in human
  intelligence.
  And everyone holding
  this book will have
  the option
  to
  live as
  long
  as
  she wants.
  Everything else
  I'm going
  to
  be
  saying
  in the next
  few minutes
  is
  designed
  to give you more options.
  I've
  told you not
  to believe
  anything
  I
  say.
  I'm certainly not
  selling you
  anything^j
  I-m pra^"^
  --v^rding you,
  I'm passing on
  to you
