Terence Mckenna was right about us

In 1976, I met Terrence McKenna in Hawaii. I helped build his octagonal house--a story in its own right--and he gave me some dried mushrooms that he said were more potent than the ones we had been picking on the cattle ranch on top of the big island. I didn't know who he was then, but what he said about the mushrooms was no lie :)

It’s unfortunate that Terrence isn’t here in our physical realm to celebrate the psychedelic renaissance of our time. He blows my mind almost daily❤

Every time I hear Terrence speak I’m astounded by his linguistic prose, what an absolute genius.

proven very effective in the treatment of various mental health issues aside from other health benefits. Helped me get out of years of depression and excessive alcohol use.

The AI that made this art was on a heroic dose😆

Oh, my dear friend, Terence McKenna. The quintessential bard of the psychedelic realm, an erudite mind with an unparalleled mastery of language and an almost preternatural talent for weaving together concepts and ideas from different disciplines into a coherent and spellbinding narrative. His eloquence was matched only by his wit, and his depth of knowledge by his boundless curiosity. To listen to Terence speak was to embark on a journey through the corridors of the mind, where the boundaries between what we think we know and what lies beyond the veil of perception blur and dissolve. His lexicon was a veritable treasure trove of linguistic gems, from "hyper-dimensional constellations of meaning" to "self-transforming machine elves", from "the felt presence of immediate experience" to "the transcendental object at the end of time". He spoke of the "archaic revival", of the need to reconnect with our primal selves and our ancestral wisdom, to rediscover the power of the shamanic experience and the transformative potential of entheogens. He evoked the mystery and majesty of the natural world, the intricate dance of life and death that shapes and sustains all things, and the urgency of our ecological crisis and the need to reestablish our harmonious relationship with the biosphere. He spoke of the "novelty theory", the idea that the universe is evolving towards ever-greater levels of complexity and novelty, and that our human consciousness is a pivotal agent in this cosmic process. He posited that the psychedelic experience was a glimpse into this unfolding process, a portal into the realm of infinite possibilities and transformative potential. Terence was a prophet, a visionary, a provocateur, a philosopher, a poet, a trickster, a mystic. He challenged our assumptions, stretched our minds, and awakened us to new realms of understanding and being. He left us with a legacy of wisdom and wonder, a roadmap for exploring the inner and outer cosmos, and an invitation to participate in the great adventure of life. In short, Terence McKenna was a linguistic alchemist, a master of the word and the concept, a magician of the mind and the spirit. And his voice continues to resonate, to inspire, and to challenge us to this day.

I'm so grateful that so much of this amazing man's content had been left behind for us to grip onto.

If you are here you are a seeker, you value and seek expansion of your awareness (consciousness). You are making it all up, so choose your experience.

So thankful to hav this mans speeches/lessons/teachings in my life for ovr 12yrs now.. I listen to a dffrnt vid wkly alwys such a great listen. Mch love and respect frm Afghanistan

I wish this man was still here today

As time flows on, Terrance flows with it ....

around 30:05 where he is describing the layers of consciousness between action and consequence is mind-blowing to me.

I'm just grateful I found out about Terrance.I could listen to him for hours

Thank you for uploading this.

thanks for the ongoing images, it makes the experience much more immersive

Best hour of listening ever. Thanks Danit!

The last 25 mins was absolutely amazing… we all need to understand the phenomenon

One of my favourite talks

Nobody articulates an abstract thought like McKenna.

Holy shit balls!!! I wouldn’t call it prediction. He just touched base with the source within him where all the answers lie. The psychedelic experience is that. An experience that hopefully opens one up to see how unreal this world is and sends you back with some plans to make changes. The real work comes after the experience. I am so grateful he walked before us and left bread crumbs. The artist who did the visuals has an amazing talent. A must watch ❤
