If Timothy Leary were alive, he would be 87 years old today. But Timothy Leary is dead, having passed from our lives in 1996.
In remembering Timothy on his birthday, I Googled for a portion of his autobiography, Flashbacks called “My Conception of My Conception” in which he “describes” the experience of being born.
I got lucky and found this video on YouTube which appears to have been made by some of the folks living at Tim’s house in Beverly Hills when he passed away. One of them reads the section from Timothy’s autobiography Flashbacks that I was looking for.
Here is another video which is a tribute to Timothy’s life.

I remember hearing Tim tell this conception scenario (although I can’t remember exactly where). In the telling the story got wilder & funnier – Art Kleps once observed that Tim could read from the phone book & make it sound funny & wise. The macho sperm wrestle & thrash through the waves “like Mark Spitz,” as obsessed with their effort as their destination. Not our Tim, who “held back, floated, observing her,” deducing who she was, what she liked, what turned her on, before approaching her “when she was ready, receptive,” when she looked him into his eyes and announced “I want YOU!”
Just after he had been roughed-up in the boys room for having Beatle length hair, I befriended Jackie Leary at the beginning of ninth grade in Millbrook. (Sept.1964 Mr. Sherman’s homeroom)
