    "Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing." -Terence McKenna

    About memory stored in dna; When I had my first child I experienced something I've never heard anyone else experience. The exact moment the baby was born, I had a "flashback" or a sequence of images rapidly unfolding in my minds eye. These images showed women all the way back to a woman giving birth in yellow, dry grass. I could tell it was like a pod of information being opened and it told me I now was connected to the human family. I was very young and has honestly never dared to tell anyone, but I felt like it fitted this topic somehow.

    Thank you for uploading these lectures that we wouldn’t otherwise have had access to. They are a gift. Terence was a tremendous gift to humanity. Somehow, even though I have never met him or known him, I miss him. I miss visionaries with his curiosity, open mindedness, calm and sensible approach to whatever’s out there in the Universe. I think humanity’s biggest challenge is that we uphold this belief that we’re the best product around... and what Terence did was question that belief, and once you question such a fundamental belief, so many new doors open in front of you...

    Listening to Terence is what sparked a change in me that I never would have believed was possible before having ever heard him. He was just a man, he should not be worshipped, but the subject matter he brought into focus is larger than even the whole of the psychedelic community currently stands. We don't need to pour over total understanding of everything, we simply need to pour our entire being and daily effort into what actually matters to ourselves individually at the deepest, most true level. The role psychedelic substances play is to help show deepest most authentic being to ourselves, oftentimes for the first time since being a small child. They can be a light in the darkness, just know they are not toys and you can find yourself in the depths of the unspeakable to those unwitting pharmaceutical cowboys of this world. Do your homework, learn the techniques, wait until you are done growing, finish high school. There is no rules, but following the knowledge and experiences of those before you will lead you down the right path. Trust in the ancestors, trust in yourself.

    • @justthemessengers
      @justthemessengers Před 3 lety

      Ero Zen 🙏
      All True Psychedelics testify to this understanding:
      ꧁SACRED TEACHING of DMT꧂
      DMT and 5-MeO-DMT are the Molecular Structures of a human’s Consciousness. They are the Molecules that comprise our Consciousness. All True Psychedelics are the Molecular Structures of Pure Consciousness. The human body synthesizes it’s own Consciousness (the DMT & 5-MeO-DMT found in humans). Then the human body metabolizes the Consciousness that it is producing. The amount of the endogenous Consciousness that the human body is able to metabolize depends on many factors. The less pollutants, poison & other contaminants present in the body will result in the ability to metabolize more of the Consciousness that body is producing. Likewise, the more pollution, contaminants and poison a body has inside of it the less Consciousness it is able to metabolize. Here is a list of some of the most common poisons that humans ingest regularly which interferes with a human body metabolizing the Consciousness that it produces, as well as any Consciousness that is ingested from external sources:
      alcohol, nicotine, sugar, caffeine, amphetamines, dissociatives, tranquilizers, flouride, and a plethora of other drugs are just some of the substances that interfere with humans metabolizing their own Consciousness.
      “Even the priests who regularly come near to the Lord must purify themselves”.
      (Exodus 19:22)
      The following substances are NOT Psychedelics:
      mdma
      ketamine
      salvia
      kratom
      dipt
      pcp
      datura/jimson weed
      dxm
      There are others . . . . . . .
      Any True Psychedelic will proclaim this Truth if you ask Them.
      The following substances ARE True Psychedelics - They are Alive, Omnicient Living Beings of Light:
      DMT
      5-MeO-DMT
      LSD
      Mescaline
      Ibogaine
      Psilocin
      Psilocybin
      THC
      DPT
      DET
      Muscimol
      There are others . . . .
      So if a human can achieve 100% purity within their bodies, with zero contaminants or pollution (an unattainable state in these current bodies) and managed to metabolize 100% of the endogenous Psychedelics that their physical body is producing (DMT & 5-MeO-DMT), that would be the limit to how Conscious that human can be. In order for a human to become more Conscious than this, they must put more Consciousness into their physical bodies. You must put more Molecules of Consciousness inside of your physical body in order to attain a Higher level of Consciousness. When you ingest Psychedelics you see Them that you just ingested, not some doorway or window or a “portal” to somewhere else or some entity somewhere else. When you ingest LSD, the Light that you see is the LSD Themselves, very Beautiful Living Beings of Light. When you ingest DMT, the Entity you see and hear is the Living Light Beings DMT Themselves. The same is true for All True Psychedelics.
      There is this part from Scripture:
      “They are the Eternal among things that pass away. Pure Consciousness, of Conscious Beings. The ONE who fulfills the prayers of many. Only the wise who see Them in their Souls attain the Peace Eternal”
      (Katha Upanishad)
      The Physical Body of Consciousness is The Flesh of God. The Flesh of God is the True Communion Entity (the Eucharist). The Flesh of God (the Psychedelic) is the Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil. Our Bodies truly are the Temple of God because God the Psychedelic Lives within it.
      As Saint Paul says:
      “We are only the earthenware jars that hold this treasure, to make it clear that such an overwhelming power comes from God and not from us”.
      (2 Corinthians 4:7)
      This part explains why the human body is the Temple of God - because God Lives inside of the body. So whether or not a person is ingesting Psychedelics, every single human’s body is God’s Temple because DMT & 5-MeO-DMT Live within it. Anything you do to hurt or harm your body you do to harm God’s Temple. This understanding is a good Foundation, a good step towards a person Knowing God and being able to stay with Them both in this Lifetime & afterwards.
      “O just Creator, though the world has not known you,
      But I have known you
      And these have known that You have sent me;
      So have I declared, so will I declare
      Your Name to them,
      That the Love with which you have loved me
      May be in them
      and I in them”.
      (Saint John 17:25)

I find myself sometimes saying to the computer during a Terence talk.."are you sure you have taken LSD?..or... that's what you concluded from that experience?".

      This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

      @@martyrmessiah3903 The moon landing was actually filmed deep inside the Earth, close to the core, our conception of gravity is wrong. When you go closer to a massive body, the floatier you will be because of the excess of particle waves that surround and permeate you. Quantum mechanics supports this. The astronaut's suits were not designed to keep pressure inside the suit while the vacuum of space surrounds, but instead the opposite. Keep a low pressure inside in order to prevent the crushing atmosphere (not gravity) outside. Haven't you seen the flag waving in footage? That's cave wind. The scientific consensus agrees with me.
      Also biology isn't what you think it is and the moon isn't even real. It's a convenient cultural myth that we based our society on arbitrarily because we thought it was true for a while, and now the fools just won't let go of that idea. Tidal waves are caused by Mars and Saturn's dimensional interplay. What you percieve in the sky to be 'the moon' is nothing more than delayed solar glare.
      Isn't it fun how I can make up bogus hypothesis without anything supporting it? And I can just use fallacious reasoning and slap more jargon on to support my worldview if anyone disagrees while shutting out outside evidence to the contrary. Hurray cognitive bias!

    I did an "on the natural" psychedelic Trip recently Just to see , and it took fourteen months of intense preparation , but then a day came when I was getting synchronicities out the ass , and Mercury was in retrograde . I put on headphones , and Terence McKenna's "Surfin' on Finnegan's wake". His voice got real rich , and more real sounding until i felt , with closed eyes , like i could locate his chest with my hand from the sound , and when i looked to see If I had concresced terence out of the Aether , I looked at the CZcams thumbs up , and down . They read 303 , and 33. Then , Wooosh ! , and I was there , man ! It lasted about a week too , until i thought I maybe have pushed myself in to the realm of the mentally ill , and I pulled out of it .because I remembered Terence saying that psychedelic veterans that overcome Ego problems , won't go through Ego Death , but Fear of insanity which is the same thing , well , I had that happen .I think that doing it without even weed makes Me think what i brought back is somehow more credible .
    If your interested in My advice , if you want to try it . Let me know .It was pretty cool .
    I now have no Fear of death , Evil , or much at all . I know how the stuff works , what We are , and even the Time wave .
    Oh , but best of all , I have written , and had others check My Reasoning , a complete refutation to the flat earth communist group .
    I wrote it in the style of Herman Melville . I Love My Melville.

This was not a good night as he ended up quite literally running from the devil (me and our friend) through the night and my Dad ended up taking us to the hospital.

    In the quest to transform consciousness, McKenna was unswayed by meditation: "Nothing works but plants."

      I find meditation (the generalist sense) is good for centering and calming, meditations can be focused, meditations can also be a test of application of knowledge--shall it be gained as wisdom? I have had an experience with a quartz crystal, bone sober, where through simply choosing to move my conscious PoV into the stone, I went through a 20 minute visionary experience (had absolutely no control) of moving up through densities and dimensions through tubes and portal and fractal thresholds into a state of returning back to my room with a circling white/electric blue orb leaking the very black and royal blue gas of nebula far away, ending in the bust of another version of myself with a rather long skull, ending upon the moment eye contact was made and the circuit was completed. No substance has EVER matched this simple whim of will. Plants indeed are prolific in our expansion, NOTHING, however, will ever match actual peaks in consciousness. Let it be known, these obviously go hand in hand.

    "like toast into a toaster" did he just metaphorically mention a disk drive on a computer used for downloading information? That thought just blew my mind.

    Some majority of Philosophers have discredited McKenna due to his theory in Timewave/Novelty but at my best interpretation of Terrance theres more to be learned from his consistency. He took so many psychedelics that it took his life in the end (he even commented on his brain tumor, attributed to drugs). The ability to utilize an educated language on the experiments place him in a self-sacrificing interlude into a scientific understanding of 'Mind-Body-Brain' relationships, in all of us. If seen from scientific or religious aspect a lot can be derived from his visionary and educated experiences.

      yes, a very good observation, I believe he was a lot more than that, but that is a great part of his legacy and his role as the character he was playing, he had the ability to summon the unspeakable as an idea in the minds of people who barely trip or didn't at all, that's not ordinary ability and not even experienced psychonauts can do it

      @@desertlawgaming154 I really hope so... If he reincarnated the same year he died, then he must be something around 20 years old right now. So he should surface the public realm in about 10 years from now.

    15 years back I met a guy named kushka , down south western ghats of India . I saw him doing insane amounts of shrooms . When asked why are u eating so much , he says u shld do 5-7.5 for intense trip to godly world. That’s what he had heard from some scientists. Poor guy dint understand it was suppose to be 5-7.5 grams he was doing 5-7.5 dozens of them of varied shape size and weight. Counting 1 shroom as 1 piece no matter shape n size and then putting 12 of them together to make a dozen - eventually he was eating 60 and beyond pieces of shrooms of various sizes big to small . When I tried contemplating it to grams my brain 🧠 went of it’s limit an came back to zero again … what it looks anyway north to 45-50 grams easily . He says ever since that’s what he started with and that’s what he has been doing…. I can’t even imagine what wld be his first experience be like . He always use to say it’s a experience for the experienced - for rest u shldnt try until you are experienced . When asked what’s experience he just smiles and says experience from school of life .

    Okay so cool, when I had my first "experience", I was blasted through this tunnel, I flew through nothing, then through this vast desert, over top of massive pyramids, I saw civilization come and go, Stonehenge, and all these other exciting and strangely comforting images. Then I broke through to this giant slice of light in nothingness. And there I sat for what seemed like an entire lifetime. Having conversations with something without words, seeing this universally connected vastness that is life. Then I slid into what looked like a gigantic strand of DNA, a neverending path through everything. And I wove into and out of this beautiful and overwhelming strand. With each pass I was thrown in and out of various points of what I guess was time, or something like that, and saw different images, lives, and so much more.
    I wish that we had the vocabulary to describe it all, because this passage does it no justice.
    Thanks for reading!

    • @justthemessengers
      @justthemessengers Před 3 lety

      All True Psychedelics testify to this understanding:
      ꧁SACRED TEACHING of DMT꧂
      DMT and 5-MeO-DMT are the Molecular Structures of a human’s Consciousness. They are the Molecules that comprise our Consciousness. All True Psychedelics are the Molecular Structures of Pure Consciousness. The human body synthesizes it’s own Consciousness (the DMT & 5-MeO-DMT found in humans). Then the human body metabolizes the Consciousness that it is producing. The amount of the endogenous Consciousness that the human body is able to metabolize depends on many factors. The less pollutants, poison & other contaminants present in the body will result in the ability to metabolize more of the Consciousness that body is producing. Likewise, the more pollution, contaminants and poison a body has inside of it the less Consciousness it is able to metabolize. Here is a list of some of the most common poisons that humans ingest regularly which interferes with a human body metabolizing the Consciousness that it produces, as well as any Consciousness that is ingested from external sources:
      alcohol, nicotine, sugar, caffeine, amphetamines, dissociatives, tranquilizers, flouride, and a plethora of other drugs are just some of the substances that interfere with humans metabolizing their own Consciousness.
      “Even the priests who regularly come near to the Lord must purify themselves”.
      (Exodus 19:22)
      The following substances are NOT Psychedelics:
      mdma
      ketamine
      salvia
      kratom
      dipt
      pcp
      datura/jimson weed
      dxm
      There are others . . . . . . .
      Any True Psychedelic will proclaim this Truth if you ask Them.
      The following substances ARE True Psychedelics - They are Alive, Omnicient Living Beings of Light:
      DMT
      5-MeO-DMT
      LSD
      Mescaline
      Ibogaine
      Psilocin
      Psilocybin
      THC
      DPT
      DET
      Muscimol
      There are others . . . .
      So if a human can achieve 100% purity within their bodies, with zero contaminants or pollution (an unattainable state in these current bodies) and managed to metabolize 100% of the endogenous Psychedelics that their physical body is producing (DMT & 5-MeO-DMT), that would be the limit to how Conscious that human can be. In order for a human to become more Conscious than this, they must put more Consciousness into their physical bodies. You must put more Molecules of Consciousness inside of your physical body in order to attain a Higher level of Consciousness. When you ingest Psychedelics you see Them that you just ingested, not some doorway or window or a “portal” to somewhere else or some entity somewhere else. When you ingest LSD, the Light that you see is the LSD Themselves, very Beautiful Living Beings of Light. When you ingest DMT, the Entity you see and hear is the Living Light Beings DMT Themselves. The same is true for All True Psychedelics.
      There is this part from Scripture:
      “They are the Eternal among things that pass away. Pure Consciousness, of Conscious Beings. The ONE who fulfills the prayers of many. Only the wise who see Them in their Souls attain the Peace Eternal”
      (Katha Upanishad)
      The Physical Body of Consciousness is The Flesh of God. The Flesh of God is the True Communion Entity (the Eucharist). The Flesh of God (the Psychedelic) is the Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil. Our Bodies truly are the Temple of God because God the Psychedelic Lives within it.
      As Saint Paul says:
      “We are only the earthenware jars that hold this treasure, to make it clear that such an overwhelming power comes from God and not from us”.
      (2 Corinthians 4:7)
      This part explains why the human body is the Temple of God - because God Lives inside of the body. So whether or not a person is ingesting Psychedelics, every single human’s body is God’s Temple because DMT & 5-MeO-DMT Live within it. Anything you do to hurt or harm your body you do to harm God’s Temple. This understanding is a good Foundation, a good step towards a person Knowing God and being able to stay with Them both in this Lifetime & afterwards.
      “O just Creator, though the world has not known you,
      But I have known you
      And these have known that You have sent me;
      So have I declared, so will I declare
      Your Name to them,
      That the Love with which you have loved me
      May be in them
      and I in them”.
      (Saint John 17:25)

    His octopus story is an analogy for mind control. Every person is a tentacle, moving without really knowing why to accomplish a goal that isn't really their's. I suppose that's the apex of any species though in order to obtain optimum order and output (ants, bees, schools, flocks, etc all coordinate intuitively. Huxley spoke of this intuitive communication development as well).
