  • Terence McKenna (November 16, 1946 - April 3, 2000) was an American ethnobotanist, mystic, psychonaut, lecturer, and author. This is a compilation of a few of his best speeches and ravings, from the hundreds of videos I've edited over the years.

      Me too. I took psilocybin once 14 years ago. I got the message and hung up. Now I listen to McKenna for the message. The message that my experience that day was real. The beauty of nature that I beheld that day is how things really are. Even though I may not do psychedelics again, McKenna helps me to not deny my personal experience with music, sex, nature, laughter, everything.

    I remember meeting him in a dream once at his Hawaiian Home in a greenhouse garden observatory in a small private group of his inner circle and his Wife and brother Dennis were there. I remember feeling an honor to be among his company and we in a smaller group looked at this leather roll a young lad had brought to show us all and on it was a magikal seal of some sort with some kind of function the young man had not yet determined and we all "ooo'd" and "aaah'd" at this gift. That's the closest I've ever felt to knowing him on a personal level, despite watching and listening to his many hundreds if not thousands of hours of video and audio compilations from his beautiful life lived here in this time.
    I look forward to the place where I shall meet him again and share in the laughter of new experience. Live long and prosper fellow traveler's.

    What amazes me so much about McKenna is that, year after year, I keep coming back to his message!
    As I search, experience, and discover in my own life: revelations appear! Such is the nature of growing up.e
    And when I return to the wisdom of the Late Great Master, Terrence McKenna: his linguistic acuity resonates with the truth I've acquired from other sources!
    This, I think, is a telltale sign of True communication. McKenna speaks his authentic truth, and it shows.

    The first time I listened to the story about the pot, the music drew me in to believe it was all going to end in great glory... I didn’t even tune into the hilariously insane laziness of what he was actually saying. ... There’s all this food caked onto the bottom and it will obviously require some elbow grease to get it off. Instead he pats the sand lightly and begs the universe to do the rest. I’m left wondering how many times he came back with a dirty pot thinking he was a god and everyone was pissed.
    Let’s all take a moment to pity Terence 😂
    But in all seriousness, I don’t pity him. It shows McKenna’s humility that he would tell this story. I hope to be that humble!

    Man, I always thought thinking like this was kind of bullshit. But his opening line here is really spot on with the nature of emergence. Despite all the odds the universe is fighting entropy. The only question is if this increasing complexity is all just a beautiful dance that leads to null or if we can truly outsmart reality.

    "That the soul is actually an entity in history seeking to be born".
    Many think about the past when they hear words like soul and spirit. Ancient yogis and christian monks in the desert. Its not about the past. The past was more vague and the christians, what they did was hoping for the soul to grab them. The yogis were working on it. It might come into being more and more in our times. We take it for granted though and dismiss it, because you cannot point at it and not demand from. You have to come to it not demanding but giving like you give to a friend as Jung said. He also said that conciousness is a new invention of nature which fits Terence's phrase. We have to build soul up like a fragile bird, give birth to it. Sometimes i tend to romanticise the past, as if ancient people were fully connected to the soul but maybe it was all more vague back then, maybe it only dawned on them.

    Hey do you guys realize that we are born in the most important time in human history. We will guide the world to places that could have never have been imagined by our ancestors. We will have to solve problems that never existed before. Scary shit.

      to recite the old adage, with great power comes great responsibility. We've got the blood of a million million ancestors on our back and it seems we have an obligation to continue to carry it on into the far reaches of infinity.

    Hi guys, anyone knows where the animated video with Jesus and the other deities starting on 27:25 is from? Great video btw, I have been listening to McKenna for years and never seem to get bored of this genius. Especially these weird times that we are currently living in. Thanks!
