6. (Leary)The neuro-electric circuit (Wilson)The metaprogramming circuit[39][40]
Note: Timothy Leary lists this circuit as the sixth, and the neurogenetic circuit as the seventh.[41] In "Prometheus Rising", Robert Anton Wilson reversed the order of these two circuits,[42] describing the neurogenetic circuit as the sixth circuit, and the metaprogramming circuit as the seventh. In the subsequently published "Quantum Psychology", he reverted this back to the order proposed by Leary.[43]
This circuit is concerned with re-imprinting and re-programming all earlier circuits and the relativity of "realities" perceived. The sixth circuit consists of the nervous system becoming aware of itself. Leary says this circuit enables telepathic communication and is activated by low-to-moderate doses of LSD (50-150 ยตg), moderate doses of peyote, psilocybin mushrooms and meditation/chanting especially when used in a group or ritual setting. This circuit is traced by Leary back to 500 BC.[citation needed]
