I've done microdosing for help and it works does cut depression out its been the best remedy I've ever had psilocybin been illegal is actually a crime against humanity.
Hey! Yes very sure of Dr.benshrooms. a single dose of shrooms saved me from Alcohol addiction. 6 years clean. no cravings. this doesn't sound weird to me in any way shape or form.
Psychedelics is a tool in which the universe uses to connect with us, we understand without words We listen without distractions,we agree without arguments.
Psychedelics tend to fix problems at their core,unlike modern medicine which tries to fix the symptoms. This is why psychedelics work great for depression,addiction etc.
Terence repeats many things that Leonardo da Vinci wrote about in his codexes - the importance of immediate experience, mathematics, the fundamental importance of nature, etc. He is truly an Immortal Mentor.
Psilocybin mushrooms healed me . I can't explain it but my experience has been spiritual and eye opening . I also started micro dosing . It really helped me get rid of depression and anxiety .
Depression haunted my life from a very young age, and I was put on a bunch of SSRIs as a child in attempt to deal with it. None worked.Psychedelic mushrooms was brought to my attention. It was the first thing that actually had real effects. They should only be used with great care and respect.
I hear this is supposed to be good for people who have mental health issues. I actually just started the research process of microdosing and all that. Im to the point where I want shock treatment.
@@lorenzomizushal3980 gotta love how your comment has little to do with my post anyways. Im showing appreciation for a person I look up to. Since we are going off topic like that, go get laid man, or i dont know since that would probably be asking the impossible of you find someone to have a real life conversation with at the very least and attempt to have one successfully where you don’t shove your ideology on another but attempt to allow two ideas to coexist.
I’ve found psychedelics have helped my PTSD from Iraq become almost irrelevant. This after being prescribed over 26 medications per day by the VA. I no longer need them. I’ve found myself also seeing everything much differently now. I analyze current events and society, as well as life in general totally differently now.
Your "ressurection" gives hope to all others seeking the same. these changes may only be achieved one at a time. I've overcome many obstacles, including addiction, but am still in struggle w/ further demons. Your words give me hope and to others i'm sure. Carry on my brother.
Hes a once in a century soul and mind. Like on a level of prophetic. Genuine and lived for others. What this man exoerienced to help better understand and help everyone and save society and evolve it.
I made researches and found out that shrooms are very helpful, it has really helped to reduce anxiety and depression and some other mental health issues.
Terrence was one of the greatest minds of our time. His whole theory of habit and novelty still blows me away to this day. I've never heard anyone quite like him.
I was very into McKenna in the 90's even though I understood maybe 25% of what he was saying. Funny how much more it makes sense today. I think I understand 27% of it now. Actually it makes a lot of sense and reminds me of ways of thinking that's mostly lost to me these days unfortunately. I truly hope future generations can gather together under a unified vision for life on earth. I doubt I'll see that. He remains the only person I've ever heard use the word 'concrescence' 😊.
only problem is nowadays with fentanyl being added to possibly every street drug, even pot, it is extremely irresponsible to promote any type of illicit drug use because the dangers far outweigh any benefits, it makes his message seem short-sighted and shallow; there's no mind expansion going on when the drug taker drops to the floor dead.
@@reverietrades Yeah but also, we are nature. This is nature . Shit Im gone again. He definitely seems to be closer than anyone else to what this great cartoon really.. might.. be .. ?
@@rickknight3823 I spent those years as somewhat of a young psychonaut, using psychedelics to alter consciousness with hopes of better understanding what consciousness is, and expanding it. I became fixated on philosophy, trying to find answers to life's existential questions. I credit those years for my individuality, not following societal norms, and my overall way of thinking. If I could metaphorize it I'd say, imagine a building with six doors. Two of the doors are open. You have a single file line of people slowly herding through the open doors while I'd just walk alongside the line and open a new door. Naturally, a portion of that line breaks off and follows me through the newly opened door, but I never actually see anyone open their own door. It's kinda hard to explain the impact it had, but I'd be a completely different person if I hadn't had that influence. it makes sense in my head, but I feel like I'm doing a terrible job communicating it.
@@JJJJspam thanks for the effort there. I think you did a reasonable job of communicating your realisations and experiences. Language of course rarely does this kind of path any justice, it's almost beyond explanation. I have never taken any mushrooms or had any trips. Never felt the need. Although listening to some interesting people like Paul Stamets, I'm kinda keen to give it a go. Any recommendations?
" Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around". Priceless. If ever there was a true ludic genius of our age who had real clearity of the moment we live in it was Terrence McKenna.
I actually had this thought a few weeks ago. My wife brought some flowers into the house, and I realized, we are animals that move plant seeds around even though it seems like we are just using them for their beauty and scent. The plants use us. Symbiotic, really.
That really is a tripped out idea and could be true. Photosynthesis is one of the craziest things ever, almost like magic because the plants turn photons, carbon dioxide and water into solid material, almost nothing is used from dirt they grow in..in a way that seems more advanced than the way animals grow. How can a coconut or a piece of hard oak wood be made from non-solid materials? And to think it happens right before our eyes unobtrusively; no explosions or sounds, no noticeable movement, but huge changes are going on.
@@joejones9520Thanks just saw this great comment. I totally agree. Photosynthesis is the mystery miracle of miracles now understood at a quantum level. Now if that isn't trippy what is? If you haven't already, and you probably have, check out the world of lichens. It is theorized that lichens were the first life forms to adapt to living on land and that they broke down the rocky surface to create soil that enabled aquatic plants to be able to put down roots and adapt to living on the surface of the planet. They're indestructible zero kelvin unshielded exposer to radiation doesn't seem to effect them much at all. No sunscreen needed. Fascinating. And probably covering any of the myriad of planets out there somewhere among the countless galaxies that have life. Plants as Terence McKenna used to say are us! Have a great day.
We have his words, no one is going to turn this place around for us. We must do it one at a time, in our own lives. Life will change when we change what we value.
Did you have siblings or parents introducing him to you at a young age? A great deal of adults probably couldn't comprehend what he's saying, let alone children.
There have been prophets and wise men all through human history, and it's fascinating to be a contemporary of someone like Terence McKenna, Graham Hancock, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle....just to name a few, who are deeply concerned with helping us finding our true nature. It's equally fascinating to see the majority of human beings living in ignorance and hostility, especially the ones holding power, trying the best they can to destroy this planet and our wellbeing.
@Kev Amor stupid argument. If a group of hackers about whom nothing is known about suddenly started attacking thousands of bank accounts would you deny their existence being like who is hacking? can you say who?
@Kev Amor Start with Vanguard or maybe the Rothchilds or maybe the Royals or maybe the 1% who hold all the money or maybe the police or maybe the cartels or maybe the Yakuza or maybe the Vatican or maybe the Oil princes or maybe you?
It's nice that you include Graham Hancock in this, I love the guy, he is far more of a philosopher than these apparently angry hateful people think of him as. They think he's trying to spread disinformation when he's not, he's spreading a very important message. Even though there are many arguable and honestly, easily believable aspects to his research and his points, it's not the true message. Like Ancient Aliens, but he does more than just Question history, and pose alternatives. But in the same way as Ancient Aliens, it will force a paradigm shift in the populace. It will make people think differently, and have different conversations. What's the endgame of people thinking differently? HOPEFULLY the widespread awakening of us all, that we are raping the shit out of our poor planet and none of us are really that happy at the end of the day. WE ALL need to go to rehab, for greed, for resent, for self control. Billionaires, world leaders, homeless drug addicts and hard working men and women alike. We could be happy just staring at the sun if we gave up the chase and helped eachother, loved eachother. Why are we so afraid to get along with eachother?
@Kev Amor If you are so naive as to ask such an ... elementary ... question, you are not worthy of any serious answer. But I'll give you a hint: the camps will have a rainbow over the gate. Now grow up.
I want to help humanity as a whole, I feel as though there is only so much I can do. I know I'm not alone in this feeling and I would like to encourage everyone else on this journey of healing
Terence McKenna was surely one of the great humans of the 20th Century in my opinion, although so many people still haven’t heard of him. He was a serious intellectual who wasn’t afraid to question scientific reasoning or religions. Thankfully the wealth of knowledge he conveyed to the world through research & direct experience of psychedelics has been captured on videos like this one.
@@ksan1648 Yes. Just like being in a busy room of random people and feeling overwhelmed, taking a few minutes to just breathe and centre yourself is the best way to reconnect with the people in that room.
Isn't it interesting that shrooms give many people the same trip? That we are all part of a super-organism, all connected to each other, and all ultimately going the same place? It's as if mother nature is giving us clues to survive.
We're giving clues to ourselves. The essence behind humanity, rooting for us, is us. We're playing an evolutionary drama with the limitations of the organic vessel.
One of his best talks. I really enjoyed the brief time I spent with him. Listening to this reminds me just how brilliant he was and how eternally relevant his message. ❤
These psychonautic travels are amazing themselves, but the way he’s able to articulate them is what i really appreciate, the writer in him. He is the reason why i started exploring the unknown, entered into those ”spirals/portals” that took me places i could never imagine. Inspiration is the best gift we can give to one another, or a fat joint, that’ll do the job too.🐸 Anyway im too high for this…
when I eat mushrooms my favorite thing to do is sit in my peaceful room and know i am blessed and I appreciate Terrence since the 90 s when I bought archaic revival
2024..and here i am just now finding him through what i think i know..everytime before i go to work and after work...i listen to him..its soemthing im so interested in and not for recreational use but for wisdom..he is our Gandolf of modern times...more people shouldve had known about him more..he is showing us through CZcams...pls listen because we are blinded through things we dont have a clue of and as one movie quote says that has been stuck with me to those who know this.."there is more than meets the eye".
This is a well-done tribute to McKenna's life work. The artwork is beautiful and totally suits everything there is about that man. I see his work is becoming popular once again after a couple decades, especially will all the reposts of his work. Although, the style of the author of this video is top notch, so thank you.
This message is proof that our fate is sealed for the worst.Huxley started the conversation,Leary was persecuted for speaking,but TM was the last gasp.I am 70yrs and would rather not be here due to the madness I can no longer tolerate.
Hang in there. Terence would recommend psilocybin. It's the cutting edge medication right now for depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, any kind of trauma. Large medical research institutions are studying its benefits. You can buy mushroom grow kits and separately one can legally buy spores of medicinal mushrooms.
@@Sobermama927 A lot more people feel the way that you do, even if they are not willing to admit it, for fear of being perceived as too negative, or because they haven't even checked in with themselves. I of course try to be pleasant when I am around people, I try to make my interactions healing and uplifting, to others and myself. But at the core of the world we live in is great evil. That's just reality. If people were all nice, or at least not cruel and awful, this world would be a beautiful place. It isn't. And while it can be said that people behave according to circumstance, upbringing, and in some sense luck, it's hard not to feel like you are better than the evil ones in positions of power in this world, if you are at least a decent and well meaning human being. Anyway I feel your pain and sense of disconnection quite literally, it is no different than my own. It is written that the 3 greatest gifts God gives are faith, hope, and love. Most assuredly there is more to what all our pain and suffering is about, than the world we take ourselves to be part of. Have faith, it's better than not having any even if it feels like lying to yourself. I wish you and others peace, happiness, and that we may all find humor and meaning to make this part of our soul's journey tolerable.
@@scrubjay93 How come when I took mushrooms and acid it had its interesting effects and then when they wore off it was like nothing had happened? Same with pot; I smoked so much for so long that surely if there were real medical benefits I wouldve noticed them but nope, same thing; when it wore off back to normal life.
I love hearing this beautiful man❤ although, Ive just recently discovered him. I've been on my spiritual journey for quites some time. I took the sunglasses off to see. Now that I see, I'm finding what I can do for all of us. For all life. Not just people. Animals, air particles, blades of grass, rocks, other planets, all minerals, everything. I think if we all set our intentions towards harmonizing and loving the all, that we could help in a very impactful way. Just 2 minutes before you sleep to spread that love and light we all have. I love you all dearly❤
The reason we can't learn from nature is we believe we can think our way to wisdom.Nature's intelligence operates without thought."Truth is action without thought." J.Krishnamurti
Sad thing is, he could've preached a message like this 2000 years ago and it would've been just as true as it is today. Humanity has never changed, only technology has.
@@brettvogel8418 you said humanity hasn’t changed, and I agree, the core of humanity has yet to change we strive for comfort, society on the other hand is a man made creation, which does change. Isn’t society an echo of the populace? I’m honestly wondering more so how it doesn’t change.
The world exists, the world gives a human an idea, ideas shape the world around us, the world changes then hence the ideas change. Society is broad consciousness and a man made structure to meet human needs. But society is fundamentally just a mass collection of ideas that imprint themselves on people and people imprint onto society. Saying that society doesn’t change doesn’t make sense to me
I graduated in '95; I wonder what he would think about where we find our society today, and would he be like "See? Called it!" I'm sure he, much like Jesus Himself, would be absolutely horrified by the "mess of politics" as he put it, that we've let run amok.
What can be said, nothing. Just listen. His understanding and ability to communicate such abstract concepts is astounding. He has thought, seen, experienced and articulates everything with such exact precision. His conversations never leave one with a feeling of confusion or inferiority. He is both complex and simple and expresses his love for life and radiates the beauty that are woven through his knowledge and understanding. His contributions are essential to help humans adjust and understand universal connection and growth
But why has everything changed for the worse ? Because al these imaginairy selfies have no free will , Thinking that there's such a thing as free will IS the imagined self .
I’ve heard a lot of these recordings. He was very judgmental of very many different “types” and “categories” of people. He changed over time due to what appears to be a desperation for his and his children’s lives. Only in that desperation he seemed to be begging everyone to help.
Absolutely agree, he was an intellectual giant & brilliant orator. His research & direct insight of the psychedelic experience has been profound & inspired so many people.
Thank you so much! Its reassuring to hear someone else talk about this. Especially 3 years before i was born. Ive always seen this but i was taught that i was crazy. Best meme all time
Beautiful message and artwork! Community is necessary component. Albert Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with same thinking we used when we created them.” We created an legal system which is adversarial by nature, a winner and a loser. We created a competitive economic system and educational system creating corporate slavery. Our economic system is fueled by the insatiable appetite of consumerism depleting our Earth’s resources faster than they can be replenished. Einstein also said in reference to Nuclear energy, “Humanity hasn’t evolved enough to use this energy for only peaceful purposes.” Personally, I dropped out of society and into a spiritual community, a communal living society thinking that was part of the solution at that time but I experienced the same nepotism, control, manipulation, dogmatic and judge mental attitudes of society at large. My current thought is that humanity hasn’t evolved enough to live that potentially egalitarian peaceful way of life of selfless service to all. Many communities exist but by necessity live isolated to one degree or another from main stream society. Today I live alone and I am free to practice meditation but I am still contributing to the depletion of our collective resources. However, I am not giving up my optimism for a quantum leap in consciousness for all of humanity. In the meantime keep working on changing myself to express Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. As Dr. Joe Dispenza says, “When we change ourselves, we change the world!” -- I am remaining alert for community operating from a “higher resonance of reality” vs living in an alienated society of dog eat dog.
I was thinking today that we can't solve our problems by the same (linear, analytical) mind that created them when hearing people talk about Elon Musk. Terence McKenna had that other sort of mind and I'm so glad he shared so much.
I remember McKennas last interview, the only way that the universes consciousness would survive is to get on a Spaceship out to space. I think Elon would play a huge role in this scenario, cause his the only one who knows that humanity is doomed if it won’t leave earth.
ok i litterlly lost myself in the sounds i was creating as i listened to him speak in the background, i started to go into a mediation trance in a way i think cause i dont know what really was happing maybe entering the ZONE.
@@acardinalconsideration824 Thats cool, i was just horrified with the drawings so i stayed for a while. Sometimes Terence says some based things, i wouldnt caim to understand him, specially his timewave zero stuff seems fishy to me.
Some of my key moments from this: Terence McKenna quotes: On Capitalism: “There’s a lot of kind of self-congratulatory back-slapping going around these days, over the fact that communists everywhere are in hot water and have to admit that they did it wrong, and that gives a lot of satisfaction to people who feel that means we did it right. We didn’t do it right. They did it wrong and now admit they did it wrong. We do it wrong and have yet to raise the possibility of turning away from what we’re doing…” On Culture: “Our culture is in trouble - not in trouble - we are at a terminal crisis, a bifurcation that can go only one of two ways. Either horror beyond your wildest imagination or breakthrough to dignity, decency, community and caring beyond your wildest imagination. Now, where do you look for models, where do you go? The answer is so obvious - you go to nature. Nature has been playing this game for 2 billion years on this planet. Nature has an economy. An elegance. A style, that if we could but emulate it, we could rise out of the rubble that we are making of this planet.” “Culture is a garment which you put on. Medical systems are pieces of jewellery which wrap around your throat or neck. Religious ideals are like objects which you push through nostrils and earlobes. If we cannot come to terms with that which allows us to give birth with these. To die with dignity, and to live in health, then what kind of a future do we have? No. Future. At all.” On our abstraction: “Abstraction is the knife poised at our hearts. We are so much the victims of abstraction that with the Earth in flames, we can barely rouse ourselves to wander across the room and look at the thermostat. That’s the level of disimpassioning that abstraction has laid upon us.” On psychedelics: “The only thing I can preach is the felt presence of immediate experience. Which, for me came through the psychedelics. Which are not drugs, but plants. It’s a perversion of language to try and derail this thing into talk of drugs. There are spirits in the natural world that come to us in this way. And as far as I can tell, this is the only way that they come to us that is rapid enough for it to have an impact on us as a global population.” On fear: “History is a kind of horrified realisation that something has been lost. That there is an itch hard to scrath in the civilised context. That we have out of fear really, descended into patterns of domination of each other, of the environment, of our children, of our social relations with exogamous groups. We have descended int o a dominator pattern that is basically based on clutching on fear…” On why there is a feeling of dis-ease: “This is the consequence of ceasing basically to do enough hallucinogens in the diet. From around 100,000 to about 15,000 years ago, human beings were in a flirtatious situation with a symbiotic relationship with this mind, resident in vegetable nature.” He relates it to the relationship between a fish and a sea anemone. “If you take the little fish away from the anemone, it doesn’t die. It doesn’t go into an immediate physiological crisis. No, what happens is it simply has a low body weight and a short life-span. In other words, it is under stress.” “I believe that the lost secret of human emergence, the undefined catalyst that took a very bright monkey and turned that species into a tormented. self-reflecting poet/dreamer. The catalyst has to be sought in these tertiary alkaloids in the food chain that were catalysing higher states of intellectual activity.”
It takes an extreme idealist to live with the amount of contradictions that Terrence had. Nonetheless I appreciate that it was coming from a place of geniune compassion for the world.
These recordinga are golden and I thank those who were orginally charged with dividing and putting these into web interaction seeing the spreading of his message and brilliance to those of us who knew him then, and those who are now part of the ongoing awakening. His recording of, however it happened was a treasure chest revealed. The importance of the "felt presence of experience".
I love how this hits after a recent trip, not tripping right now, just makes sense lmao I had a short moment of total peace in the now and it made me realize I'm not at peace normally
Enlightenment and Shunyata is precisely peace of no-mind. The mechanical mind evaporates. So no let’s not forget enlightenment it’s really our only hope. But it’s not a collective enterprise. It’s an individual experience.
Well, it's good he could. Look around. There be many a dabbler who ends up a babbler, total irrationality to a fault. But I try not to be critical. I guess it can't be helped. However brief the encounter with something well beyond your understanding, few it is who don't babble from that snapshot look at the Divine. And to think, it dims itself just in hopes we'll understand something. One can never encompass its light. So it goes I suppose. Excuse me while I adjust my shades. 😉
Losing a lot of valuable material in a fire is a common story, for those who are speaking about issues, the powerful elites find uncomfortable. Months after one government retirees who was close to the JFK drama and spoke out, his house and 40 years of research went up in flames.
Terry was and was a brilliant man. He felt what many people tried. My understanding of him is one of a kind. My feelings 😪 throughout my life time was harsh . I am still here,whether I want to be or not. Trees are special to me, I heard them say once, we will take care of you. All creations are alive . Red is clear. Clear is red. Black is white, white is black. Red is black, black is red. Clear water is Red like blood. You might think I am out there somewhere, I am. One morning, I took a shower . My shampoo was red. I thought to myself, oh cool. It was clear. My friend came out of the shower and said to me, "I never seen Red shampoo before." I said, "Look again in your hand." In her surprise, the shampoo was clear. The shampoo was telling us what you think is not what is. I know all life love us in their own way. 😊

I’ve found myself also seeing everything much differently now. I analyze current events and society, as well as life in general totally differently now.
Awesome
Your "ressurection" gives hope to all others seeking the same. these changes may only be achieved one at a time. I've overcome many obstacles, including addiction, but am still in struggle w/ further demons. Your words give me hope and to others i'm sure. Carry on my brother.
That is one heck of a testimony. you should write a book or do a speaking tour.
Love to hear it
how do you know you wont get a dose with fentanyl added? These days any drug not obtained thru a registered pharmacy is a spin of the cylinder...
Hes a once in a century soul and mind. Like on a level of prophetic. Genuine and lived for others. What this man exoerienced to help better understand and help everyone and save society and evolve it.
I made researches and found out that shrooms are very helpful, it has really helped to reduce anxiety and depression and some other mental health issues.
I’ve been thinking to use psychedelics for my anxiety and depression.
Anyone know where I can source them?
@@Christian-lz5buYes, dr_derekk
Is he on Insta?
Yes he is… dr_derekk
I just had my first experience with penis envy, it was really great! I loved it.
Terrence was one of the greatest minds of our time. His whole theory of habit and novelty still blows me away to this day. I've never heard anyone quite like him.
I wish this man knew how much his words helped me understand my own experiences
Bless you Terrance wherever you might be
I was very into McKenna in the 90's even though I understood maybe 25% of what he was saying. Funny how much more it makes sense today. I think I understand 27% of it now. Actually it makes a lot of sense and reminds me of ways of thinking that's mostly lost to me these days unfortunately. I truly hope future generations can gather together under a unified vision for life on earth. I doubt I'll see that. He remains the only person I've ever heard use the word 'concrescence' 😊.
only problem is nowadays with fentanyl being added to possibly every street drug, even pot, it is extremely irresponsible to promote any type of illicit drug use because the dangers far outweigh any benefits, it makes his message seem short-sighted and shallow; there's no mind expansion going on when the drug taker drops to the floor dead.
I can't even understand 25% of what of saying.
You feels me my brothersssss¿
Hope you learn find the other remaining procents
@@reverietrades Yeah but also, we are nature. This is nature . Shit Im gone again.
He definitely seems to be closer than anyone else to what this great cartoon really.. might.. be .. ?
Such an immense mind, and the clarity of thought 🤔 is beyond compare... Never tire of listening to this incredible mind/soul ❤️
Agreed.
I had so much Terrence McKenna on my Ipod in middle school and high school. It was about 60 hours worth of lecture. He was a major influence.
Yeah...same here...people either still hate me o th thank me for it...
Can confirm.
How has it specifically influenced your life direction and choices?
@@rickknight3823 I spent those years as somewhat of a young psychonaut, using psychedelics to alter consciousness with hopes of better understanding what consciousness is, and expanding it. I became fixated on philosophy, trying to find answers to life's existential questions. I credit those years for my individuality, not following societal norms, and my overall way of thinking. If I could metaphorize it I'd say, imagine a building with six doors. Two of the doors are open. You have a single file line of people slowly herding through the open doors while I'd just walk alongside the line and open a new door. Naturally, a portion of that line breaks off and follows me through the newly opened door, but I never actually see anyone open their own door.
It's kinda hard to explain the impact it had, but I'd be a completely different person if I hadn't had that influence. it makes sense in my head, but I feel like I'm doing a terrible job communicating it.
@@JJJJspam thanks for the effort there. I think you did a reasonable job of communicating your realisations and experiences.
Language of course rarely does this kind of path any justice, it's almost beyond explanation.
I have never taken any mushrooms or had any trips. Never felt the need.
Although listening to some interesting people like Paul Stamets, I'm kinda keen to give it a go.
Any recommendations?
" Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around". Priceless. If ever there was a true ludic genius of our age who had real clearity of the moment we live in it was Terrence McKenna.
I actually had this thought a few weeks ago. My wife brought some flowers into the house, and I realized, we are animals that move plant seeds around even though it seems like we are just using them for their beauty and scent. The plants use us. Symbiotic, really.
That really is a tripped out idea and could be true. Photosynthesis is one of the craziest things ever, almost like magic because the plants turn photons, carbon dioxide and water into solid material, almost nothing is used from dirt they grow in..in a way that seems more advanced than the way animals grow. How can a coconut or a piece of hard oak wood be made from non-solid materials? And to think it happens right before our eyes unobtrusively; no explosions or sounds, no noticeable movement, but huge changes are going on.
if that was true the like millions of species of animals who dont move seeds wouldnt exist
@@joejones9520Thanks just saw this great comment. I totally agree. Photosynthesis is the mystery miracle of miracles now understood at a quantum level. Now if that isn't trippy what is? If you haven't already, and you probably have, check out the world of lichens. It is theorized that lichens were the first life forms to adapt to living on land and that they broke down the rocky surface to create soil that enabled aquatic plants to be able to put down roots and adapt to living on the surface of the planet. They're indestructible zero kelvin unshielded exposer to radiation doesn't seem to effect them much at all. No sunscreen needed. Fascinating. And probably covering any of the myriad of planets out there somewhere among the countless galaxies that have life. Plants as Terence McKenna used to say are us! Have a great day.
@@toebiter69 You're right of course but I think Terence McKenna had a point up to a point but was also just having some fun with the idea.
The artwork is beyond beautiful. I hope you have that peace now Mr. McKenna!
I'm 99% sure that it's AI art.. nonetheless, it is nice
We have his words, no one is going to turn this place around for us. We must do it one at a time, in our own lives. Life will change when we change what we value.
"Life will change when we change what we value." Beautiful, thank you.
A truly prescient talk, we miss you man 😢
Yes! What a wonderful human!
The A.I. art has identified Andy Serkis as the most appropriate actor to play Terrance’s role in a biopic.
Forcme perfect is jimm carrey
Willem Defoe
Defo, Serkis would be perfect for McKenna
@@maxcecco7910 this !
That would be an amazing casting choice
When I was a child, I thought McKenna was absolutely bonkers. Now as an adult I see how prophetic he actually was.
Did you have siblings or parents introducing him to you at a young age?
A great deal of adults probably couldn't comprehend what he's saying, let alone children.
You studied McKenna as a child? You must have been quite a unique young squirt.
It's okay. You were a child.
It's both, it can be both.
@@ped0ph1LeCZcams and he had more sense as a child Terrance is a crackhead

Jump head first into the rabbit hole of his dialogues…
@@vicrattlehead8665 will do ! Thanks
@David Chidi one of my best friends is a shaman that does dmt retreats sooo... 😁
There have been prophets and wise men all through human history, and it's fascinating to be a contemporary of someone like Terence McKenna, Graham Hancock, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle....just to name a few, who are deeply concerned with helping us finding our true nature.
It's equally fascinating to see the majority of human beings living in ignorance and hostility, especially the ones holding power, trying the best they can to destroy this planet and our wellbeing.
@Kev Amor black nobility
@Kev Amor stupid argument. If a group of hackers about whom nothing is known about suddenly started attacking thousands of bank accounts would you deny their existence being like who is hacking? can you say who?
@Kev Amor Start with Vanguard or maybe the Rothchilds or maybe the Royals or maybe the 1% who hold all the money or maybe the police or maybe the cartels or maybe the Yakuza or maybe the Vatican or maybe the Oil princes or maybe you?
It's nice that you include Graham Hancock in this, I love the guy, he is far more of a philosopher than these apparently angry hateful people think of him as. They think he's trying to spread disinformation when he's not, he's spreading a very important message.
Even though there are many arguable and honestly, easily believable aspects to his research and his points, it's not the true message. Like Ancient Aliens, but he does more than just Question history, and pose alternatives. But in the same way as Ancient Aliens, it will force a paradigm shift in the populace. It will make people think differently, and have different conversations.
What's the endgame of people thinking differently? HOPEFULLY the widespread awakening of us all, that we are raping the shit out of our poor planet and none of us are really that happy at the end of the day. WE ALL need to go to rehab, for greed, for resent, for self control. Billionaires, world leaders, homeless drug addicts and hard working men and women alike.
We could be happy just staring at the sun if we gave up the chase and helped eachother, loved eachother.
Why are we so afraid to get along with eachother?
@Kev Amor If you are so naive as to ask such an ... elementary ... question, you are not worthy of any serious answer. But I'll give you a hint: the camps will have a rainbow over the gate. Now grow up.
I want to help humanity as a whole, I feel as though there is only so much I can do. I know I'm not alone in this feeling and I would like to encourage everyone else on this journey of healing

"It is a cliche of modernity that the city is a jungle. The problem is it isn't jungle enough."
Wow!
Terence McKenna was surely one of the great humans of the 20th Century in my opinion, although so many people still haven’t heard of him. He was a serious intellectual who wasn’t afraid to question scientific reasoning or religions. Thankfully the wealth of knowledge he conveyed to the world through research & direct experience of psychedelics has been captured on videos like this one.
Whenever I have felt disconnected from society I find sitting on a beach with my eyes closed and just listen to the sounds of nature helps ground me.
So whenever you feel disconnected from society, you disconnect from society, and this helps you.
@@ksan1648 Yes. Just like being in a busy room of random people and feeling overwhelmed, taking a few minutes to just breathe and centre yourself is the best way to reconnect with the people in that room.
Wow,,amazing. Nobody has ever done that before
Isn't it interesting that shrooms give many people the same trip? That we are all part of a super-organism, all connected to each other, and all ultimately going the same place? It's as if mother nature is giving us clues to survive.
Same with Ayahuasca.
We're giving clues to ourselves. The essence behind humanity, rooting for us, is us. We're playing an evolutionary drama with the limitations of the organic vessel.
This guy has done soo much for me, beyond grateful.
Same. Moved to tears with gratitude when I meditate on it.

One of his best talks. I really enjoyed the brief time I spent with him. Listening to this reminds me just how brilliant he was and how eternally relevant his message. ❤
Once I tried shrooms, I said the whole world needs this. This will help us heal ourselves and the world.
I love this man. See you in hyperspace 🥰
These psychonautic travels are amazing themselves, but the way he’s able to articulate them is what i really appreciate, the writer in him. He is the reason why i started exploring the unknown, entered into those ”spirals/portals” that took me places i could never imagine. Inspiration is the best gift we can give to one another, or a fat joint, that’ll do the job too.🐸
Anyway im too high for this…
Amazing Man/Mind!
when I eat mushrooms my favorite thing to do is sit in my peaceful room and know i am blessed and I appreciate Terrence since the 90 s when I bought archaic revival
Incredible how he could speak like this for hours with no notes or teleprompter.
Practice + psychedelics is a formidable force.

Wen speaking from the heart as he was you don't really need a teleprompter 😊
You reminded me of Biden always reading the teleprompter.

This is a well-done tribute to McKenna's life work. The artwork is beautiful and totally suits everything there is about that man. I see his work is becoming popular once again after a couple decades, especially will all the reposts of his work. Although, the style of the author of this video is top notch, so thank you.
This message is proof that our fate is sealed for the worst.Huxley started the conversation,Leary was persecuted for speaking,but TM was the last gasp.I am 70yrs and would rather not be here due to the madness I can no longer tolerate.
Hang in there. Terence would recommend psilocybin. It's the cutting edge medication right now for depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, any kind of trauma. Large medical research institutions are studying its benefits. You can buy mushroom grow kits and separately one can legally buy spores of medicinal mushrooms.
EVERY living things fate is doomed! Nothing evades evolving or extinction.
Question....what exactly is it you can't tolerate because I at 35 y o feel the same way but feel as if I am alone in my thoughts and feelings
@@Sobermama927 A lot more people feel the way that you do, even if they are not willing to admit it, for fear of being perceived as too negative, or because they haven't even checked in with themselves. I of course try to be pleasant when I am around people, I try to make my interactions healing and uplifting, to others and myself. But at the core of the world we live in is great evil. That's just reality. If people were all nice, or at least not cruel and awful, this world would be a beautiful place. It isn't. And while it can be said that people behave according to circumstance, upbringing, and in some sense luck, it's hard not to feel like you are better than the evil ones in positions of power in this world, if you are at least a decent and well meaning human being. Anyway I feel your pain and sense of disconnection quite literally, it is no different than my own. It is written that the 3 greatest gifts God gives are faith, hope, and love. Most assuredly there is more to what all our pain and suffering is about, than the world we take ourselves to be part of. Have faith, it's better than not having any even if it feels like lying to yourself. I wish you and others peace, happiness, and that we may all find humor and meaning to make this part of our soul's journey tolerable.
@@scrubjay93 How come when I took mushrooms and acid it had its interesting effects and then when they wore off it was like nothing had happened? Same with pot; I smoked so much for so long that surely if there were real medical benefits I wouldve noticed them but nope, same thing; when it wore off back to normal life.
Beyond brilliant! I challenge anyone to find his equal on this planet!
Thank you! I'm so grateful for this post!
I love hearing this beautiful man❤ although, Ive just recently discovered him. I've been on my spiritual journey for quites some time. I took the sunglasses off to see. Now that I see, I'm finding what I can do for all of us. For all life. Not just people. Animals, air particles, blades of grass, rocks, other planets, all minerals, everything. I think if we all set our intentions towards harmonizing and loving the all, that we could help in a very impactful way. Just 2 minutes before you sleep to spread that love and light we all have. I love you all dearly❤

Sad thing is, he could've preached a message like this 2000 years ago and it would've been just as true as it is today. Humanity has never changed, only technology has.
Ahh you're breaking into the 6th dimension my friend 😏
But society has
@@revolutioninc7081 how so? Aside from technology?
@@brettvogel8418 you said humanity hasn’t changed, and I agree, the core of humanity has yet to change we strive for comfort, society on the other hand is a man made creation, which does change. Isn’t society an echo of the populace? I’m honestly wondering more so how it doesn’t change.
The world exists, the world gives a human an idea, ideas shape the world around us, the world changes then hence the ideas change. Society is broad consciousness and a man made structure to meet human needs. But society is fundamentally just a mass collection of ideas that imprint themselves on people and people imprint onto society. Saying that society doesn’t change doesn’t make sense to me
At 14mins, his joke about plants and seeds😂. Genius comedian that has such high intellect that its easy to miss his comedy.
He has such a beautiful way of speaking.
Infinite thanks Terence, for the sanity and the telos! ❤
This intellectual was far beyond his time 💚
Yes! This is so obvious.ALL need it.
One of the most gifted thinkers of our time.
My man Terance, the guru/shaman of our time. Where would we be without him.
😢
I graduated in '95; I wonder what he would think about where we find our society today, and would he be like "See? Called it!" I'm sure he, much like Jesus Himself, would be absolutely horrified by the "mess of politics" as he put it, that we've let run amok.
What can be said, nothing. Just listen. His understanding and ability to communicate such abstract concepts is astounding. He has thought, seen, experienced and articulates everything with such exact precision. His conversations never leave one with a feeling of confusion or inferiority. He is both complex and simple and expresses his love for life and radiates the beauty that are woven through his knowledge and understanding. His contributions are essential to help humans adjust and understand universal connection and growth
Love how you put that, cheers.
yessssssssssssss🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Well said my friend. Much love to you and yours
But why has everything changed for the worse ? Because al these imaginairy selfies have no free will , Thinking that there's such a thing as free will IS the imagined self .
I’ve heard a lot of these recordings. He was very judgmental of very many different “types” and “categories” of people. He changed over time due to what appears to be a desperation for his and his children’s lives. Only in that desperation he seemed to be begging everyone to help.
Beyond brilliant…. A true sage/prophet of the 20th century… still every bit as relevant in 2023
Absolutely agree, he was an intellectual giant & brilliant orator. His research & direct insight of the psychedelic experience has been profound & inspired so many people.
Plant wisdom is one of the highest forms of intelligence and love.
Thank you so much!
Its reassuring to hear someone else talk about this. Especially 3 years before i was born.
Ive always seen this but i was taught that i was crazy.
Best meme all time
Taoism is the closest philosophy to nature that I've discovered.
Taoism, Zen Buddhism, the Middle Way: these are truth of reality and nature.
Beautiful message and artwork! Community is necessary component. Albert Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with same thinking we used when we created them.” We created an legal system which is adversarial by nature, a winner and a loser. We created a competitive economic system and educational system creating corporate slavery. Our economic system is fueled by the insatiable appetite of consumerism depleting our Earth’s resources faster than they can be replenished. Einstein also said in reference to Nuclear energy, “Humanity hasn’t evolved enough to use this energy for only peaceful purposes.” Personally, I dropped out of society and into a spiritual community, a communal living society thinking that was part of the solution at that time but I experienced the same nepotism, control, manipulation, dogmatic and judge mental attitudes of society at large. My current thought is that humanity hasn’t evolved enough to live that potentially egalitarian peaceful way of life of selfless service to all. Many communities exist but by necessity live isolated to one degree or another from main stream society. Today I live alone and I am free to practice meditation but I am still contributing to the depletion of our collective resources. However, I am not giving up my optimism for a quantum leap in consciousness for all of humanity. In the meantime keep working on changing myself to express Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. As Dr. Joe Dispenza says, “When we change ourselves, we change the world!” -- I am remaining alert for community operating from a “higher resonance of reality” vs living in an alienated society of dog eat dog.
I was thinking today that we can't solve our problems by the same (linear, analytical) mind that created them when hearing people talk about Elon Musk. Terence McKenna had that other sort of mind and I'm so glad he shared so much.
I remember McKennas last interview, the only way that the universes consciousness would survive is to get on a Spaceship out to space. I think Elon would play a huge role in this scenario, cause his the only one who knows that humanity is doomed if it won’t leave earth.
saw him in my hometown, he gave a speech for 90 minutes & stayed for music & some weed.
Dude might have been in the CIA but was chill AF
He speaks just like Mr. Rogers. ❤
Sounds like Mr. Rogers too.
Which is why I referenced his speech. Because that's what that sound is. Speech.
Merci pour ta sagesse, Terence. Grand humain, grand ami et défenseur de la Vie.

@@acardinalconsideration824 Holy fuck i watch your channel haha
@@end.olives
Ayy, small world. I haven’t listened to enough of Terence McKenna so I figured I’d binge a bit today
@@acardinalconsideration824 Thats cool, i was just horrified with the drawings so i stayed for a while. Sometimes Terence says some based things, i wouldnt caim to understand him, specially his timewave zero stuff seems fishy to me.
Some of my key moments from this:
Terence McKenna quotes:
On Capitalism: “There’s a lot of kind of self-congratulatory back-slapping going around these days, over the fact that communists everywhere are in hot water and have to admit that they did it wrong, and that gives a lot of satisfaction to people who feel that means we did it right. We didn’t do it right. They did it wrong and now admit they did it wrong. We do it wrong and have yet to raise the possibility of turning away from what we’re doing…”
On Culture: “Our culture is in trouble - not in trouble - we are at a terminal crisis, a bifurcation that can go only one of two ways. Either horror beyond your wildest imagination or breakthrough to dignity, decency, community and caring beyond your wildest imagination. Now, where do you look for models, where do you go? The answer is so obvious - you go to nature. Nature has been playing this game for 2 billion years on this planet. Nature has an economy. An elegance. A style, that if we could but emulate it, we could rise out of the rubble that we are making of this planet.”
“Culture is a garment which you put on. Medical systems are pieces of jewellery which wrap around your throat or neck. Religious ideals are like objects which you push through nostrils and earlobes. If we cannot come to terms with that which allows us to give birth with these. To die with dignity, and to live in health, then what kind of a future do we have? No. Future. At all.”
On our abstraction: “Abstraction is the knife poised at our hearts. We are so much the victims of abstraction that with the Earth in flames, we can barely rouse ourselves to wander across the room and look at the thermostat. That’s the level of disimpassioning that abstraction has laid upon us.”
On psychedelics: “The only thing I can preach is the felt presence of immediate experience. Which, for me came through the psychedelics. Which are not drugs, but plants. It’s a perversion of language to try and derail this thing into talk of drugs. There are spirits in the natural world that come to us in this way. And as far as I can tell, this is the only way that they come to us that is rapid enough for it to have an impact on us as a global population.”
On fear: “History is a kind of horrified realisation that something has been lost. That there is an itch hard to scrath in the civilised context. That we have out of fear really, descended into patterns of domination of each other, of the environment, of our children, of our social relations with exogamous groups. We have descended int o a dominator pattern that is basically based on clutching on fear…”
On why there is a feeling of dis-ease: “This is the consequence of ceasing basically to do enough hallucinogens in the diet. From around 100,000 to about 15,000 years ago, human beings were in a flirtatious situation with a symbiotic relationship with this mind, resident in vegetable nature.” He relates it to the relationship between a fish and a sea anemone. “If you take the little fish away from the anemone, it doesn’t die. It doesn’t go into an immediate physiological crisis. No, what happens is it simply has a low body weight and a short life-span. In other words, it is under stress.” “I believe that the lost secret of human emergence, the undefined catalyst that took a very bright monkey and turned that species into a tormented. self-reflecting poet/dreamer. The catalyst has to be sought in these tertiary alkaloids in the food chain that were catalysing higher states of intellectual activity.”
Thanks for sharing this video. So thoughtful.
Audio and visual elevation ! ❤
I 100% agree that there's not enough greenery in city streets
It takes an extreme idealist to live with the amount of contradictions that Terrence had. Nonetheless I appreciate that it was coming from a place of geniune compassion for the world.
Amazing artworks❤
These recordinga are golden and I thank those who were orginally charged with dividing and putting these into web interaction seeing the spreading of his message and brilliance to those of us who knew him then, and those who are now part of the ongoing awakening. His recording of, however it happened was a treasure chest revealed. The importance of the "felt presence of experience".
This man is extremely wise
One of the most lucid speeches I’ve ever heard
Mr Terrence McKenna has done so much for my peers. Now its my turn.
He featured on the boss drum album by the shamen and it blew me away as a teenager.
I love how this hits after a recent trip, not tripping right now, just makes sense lmao
I had a short moment of total peace in the now and it made me realize I'm not at peace normally
Enlightenment and Shunyata is precisely peace of no-mind.
The mechanical mind evaporates. So no let’s not forget enlightenment it’s really our only hope. But it’s not a collective enterprise. It’s an individual experience.
Ty your a philosopher at the highest level love ya ❤
You got me with the cliff hanger title
Yea that one feels a bit off to me
I wish I could articulate myself in this manner
Well, it's good he could. Look around. There be many a dabbler who ends up a babbler, total irrationality to a fault.
But I try not to be critical. I guess it can't be helped.
However brief the encounter with something well beyond your understanding, few it is who don't babble from that snapshot look at the Divine. And to think, it dims itself just in hopes we'll understand something. One can never encompass its light. So it goes I suppose. Excuse me while I adjust my shades. 😉
Slowly but surely people are finding out that Terrance has so much wisdom to offer in the approaching age of AI.
Nice art work ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thanks for this ❤
The loss of much of his work in a fire is similar to the burning of the library of Alexandria that he often talked about, in a way
Losing a lot of valuable material in a fire is a common story, for those who are speaking about issues, the powerful elites find uncomfortable. Months after one government retirees who was close to the JFK drama and spoke out, his house and 40 years of research went up in flames.
Go look your self, and as he said himself “ stop consuming”!
Terry was and was a brilliant man.
He felt what many people tried.
My understanding of him is one of a kind.
My feelings 😪 throughout my life time was harsh .
I am still here,whether I want to be or not.
Trees are special to me, I heard them say once, we will take care of you.
All creations are alive . Red is clear. Clear is red. Black is white, white is black. Red is black, black is red.
Clear water is Red like blood.
You might think I am out there somewhere, I am.
One morning, I took a shower . My shampoo was red. I thought to myself, oh cool.
It was clear. My friend came out of the shower and said to me, "I never seen Red shampoo before."
I said, "Look again in your hand."
In her surprise, the shampoo was clear.
The shampoo was telling us what you think is not what is.
I know all life love us in their own way.
😊
I love peace of mind. Keep it
I applaud you for posting TM without putting bogus music behind his voice. When youtubers do that it totally ruins it for me.
