People may scoff, but he was channeling the most natural and truest form of intelligence ~ the one that inquisition after inquisition has tried to burn at the stake, etc., and that which The Enlightenment (which continues to this day) has attempted to ridicule into extinction. "The Great Forgetting." McKenna was a pioneer who was simply trying to help us remember. Bless him for his efforts & thanks for the upload.
Ironically, the institutions and religions involved in the supression you describe, have their whole basis of existence based on entheogen-using tribes.
notice how everyone in the room is in a relaxed meditative state, Terrence McKenna was a genius at opening peoples minds with his words and storytelling.
I remember days before hurricane Andrew hit animals especially birds were acting crazy and appeared to be flying away from the area. I also found a crab in my yard 10 miles from the ocean the day before. animals and plants are more in tune with the planet than humans.
DUDE. Sometime in the last year or two I came across this thought about dinosaurs existing and becoming extinct because of an asteroid crashing into earth. Earth clearly learned its lesson and several millions of years later humans were created. As a defense mechanism, to defend and explore, releasing ourselves from Earth's atmosphere like seeds from a dandelion. We are a product of Earth like an antibodies are for our bodies. Here I am listening to McKenna who I literally just found today saying something similar. Crazy. And I love his story about the branch.
Ive been listening to terence mckenna for a few years now and I am just absolutely fascinated with his workshops, his speechs and his knowledge and understanding. But when people ask me who he is and what he is i dont have an answer. Anybody got one?
Perhaps like an organism that produces an offspring to live on though it's DNA, the earth has produced us to live on through ITS DNA in the hopes of inter planet travel... Whadya think?!
+Mick Jagged thanks for catapulting my imagination on the path of (intelligent) panspermia today; my evening meditation just got a scenario it can explore
I love how he can come up with the most astoundingly out there theories...but, somehow, they always make such lucid obvious sense. He does such a good job at showing, plainly, how the discoveries of modern science and the common intuitions of thousands of spiritual paths are pointing to the same idea...and idea that can be experience personally and directly, if you so chose, by ingesting a few grams of a fungus that grows out of the Earth just as we ourselves do. Love this video...
Wow, talk about crazy synchroncity. Just as Terrence said of the branch, "It fell," my sister runs in to tell me a huge branch has just fallen from the old oak in our yard. I paused, ran out and observed that the branch had indeed fallen but hadn't hurt anything. I just felt chills run all over me. I came back in, listened to the rest of the video and wandered, hmmm, maybe there's a grain of truth here.
On high dosage shrooms (5g) I experience "ego death", it can get scary, your ego does not want to let go, just remember to breath and "let go". Beyond that, I have the most amazing experience, well worth the rough patch, the realization of where I belong and who I really am and how I am part of everything and no longer fear death. Sure ask questions, my experience there is another with me, try to focus on self discovery. Set/setting/prep are vital, I prefer alone with all the comforts. Namaste;)
Freewill is an illusion (created by the Ego)... Given the eternal link between cause and effect, we are on a set trajectory through reality. The past created the present, and the present will create the future. The universe is one fluid expression of existence. Our destiny unfolds as time ticks on... You are the domino falling onto the next
"Given the eternal link between cause and effect, we are on a set trajectory through reality" - lucius ...if you (not your ego) really beliefs that, than you yust live in your illusion, called time, then you are able to observe time from outside, but you still live in it. time is the reason for the cause and effect principle, but our true souls dont know time ( try to understand einstein in this point) our bodies are the dominos falling, beause pulled away through time, your FREEWILL IS the eternal thing, not that "link", that probably god or nature gave us.....destiny unfolds arlight but only in the present moment in wich you absolutely know you are here, because you cannot doubt yourself... there is a philosophical "science" called skepticism after which i would ask, what was the reason of the cause and effect reason that time works after....? But still i say i donnt want to persuade you of my own truth in this case, but want to make you think about the words you chose.... your illusions can be your freewill if you want, but i am pretty sure as long as you dont trap your own spirit in either your divine body or your thoughts ( wich are not real) you Can live frewill....
This is true and not true.. I had a precognition dream once that unfolded exactly the same the next day. But we do exist in a multiverse that has every possibility happening all at once. You can shift into the reality you want, mentally. This is sorcery/Magick. The universe will move around you when you aware of this power.
Part 5: I have been to a homeless shelter in Boston to watch my father play music for them, and although I didn't speak with them, their demeanor, both viscerally, and in conversations that I had seen and overheard second hand, had not shown any resemblance to that of Mckenna's talks. I am not saying that they were or weren't "addicts," but since you feel so inclined to thinking their are connections between not only addicts and the homeless people, but also homeless addicts and Mckenna...
I do understand what you are trying to crowbar in, what you fail to understand is that this isn't just one statement thinking, but rather a full transcendental experience. Once you have the experience, then you begin to understand. Peace be with you.
Mr. Terrance we are not corrupting our planet entirely. It is the corrupt vibrations which are corrupting our planet. The message that I interpret ... goes towards global warming & nuclear etc... but the planet has a mechanism to heal itself, and will always ALWAYS continue to heal/regenerate etc. Have a good day!
There is a point in spiritual evolution when we can generate our own positive vibration without taking on others pain. Like the illumination of the sun will make the illumination of a candle appear dark. Yet both shed light.
He did didn't he, good point. Makes one really want to have been right there so we could really know. The thing is to start observing our own lives with such passion and find our own unexplained phenomenon and synchronicity.
I think he is in a place that fear is not the emotion he is accessing. When he says "eliminate ourselves from the message" he has reached a place without ego and in that state no ego remains and fear is a response of ego."so that we then can see the face of the Other"
It's one thing to say "eliminate ourselves from the message" and another to actually accomplish that. I'm not an advocate of eliminating ego, but integrating our whole self, including ego. It's a neutral tool. I do find Terence fascinating and enjoy much of his insights, but I do think he wasn't above peddling fear at times. That's OK if you don't agree. Thanks for the interaction. It's been a pleasure!
Feeling compassion and being compassionate is not the same as feeling their pain. Being empathic and feeling the pain is still a valid way to approach the situation and editing the content that you allow in is an effective solution if one is sensitive. Why I wonder did you keep reading comments?
Where did this take place? Looks so relaxing. I want to attend a session like this, everyone is just laying down in a room full of pillows and open-mindedness. too chill. haha
Having listened to Terrence for probably days (all his monologues added up!) of my life I know that sometimes when he comes out with a non-existent word (helio-geo..... etc etc) these have come from his copious use of DMT and his mind trying to make sense of these powerful experiences. As I myself have smoked the spirit molecule on around 60-70 occasions I sorta know were he's coming from.SORT OF!!!!
@JoshJamesification "No one deserves thanks from another about something he has done for him or goodness he has done,he is either willing to get a reward from God, therefore he wanted to serve himself,or he wanted to get a reward from people, therefore, he has done that to get profit for himself,or to be mentioned and praised by people, therefore, to it is also for himself, or due to his mercy and tenderheartedness, so he has simply done that goodness to pacify these feelings and treat himself."
ALTRUISM according to Wikipedia: " Altruism is the opposite of selfishness.Pure altruism consists of giving something of value[citation needed] (a reward or benefit) with no expectation of any compensation or benefits, either direct, or indirect (for instance from recognition of the giving)." Therefore using altruism is the perfect description that the term respect is unnecessary, since a truly unselfish person does not expect ANYTHING neither recognition for giving...
@JoshJamesification "helping others in such ways is ultimately motivated by some form of self-interest, such as non-sensory satisfaction, the expectation of reciprocation, the desire to gain respect or reputation, or by the expectation of a reward in a putative afterlife. The helpful action is merely instrumental to these ultimately selfish goals."
@InsideOUT37 ... I would highly recommend to search the title "Social Conformity" and listen to this brilliant speech from Alan Watts. By all means, if you don't want to try psychedelics don't do it, but educate yourself about YOURSELF. Capitalist and Consumerist ideology condemns psychedelics, because they are true value changers and people might stop looking at ads and their bank accounts and start to realize that they had been fed lies since they were born. I hope more people become aware.
@WhenYourStrange93 I highly recommend checking out the video dubbed 'Culture is your operating system'. It was the first video I saw of Mckenna- the first words of his I heard- before I learned who he was. Listening to it more than once inspired me to listen him a whole lot more, which has only been awesome. He can be pretty far out, but anyway I encourage anyone to listen to what he has to say. Happy trails.
I smoke pot habitually and I have a job, go to school full time with a 3.5 gpa and pay all my bills on time. And yes Mckenna did believe that the pot lead to his cancer but his doctor said that was ridiculous
@InsideOUT37 Speaking simply pharmacalogically,certain chemical molecules namely dmt,psilocybin and thc are designed so perfectly they fit inside a respective receptor in our brain.No matter the experience of the observer, there tends to be no coincidence that exists a plant which can inhibit an amino acid in our stomach thus allowing another plant molecule to pass unharmed to create something that was meant to happen.Our brains are hardwired to accept key plant molecules.This is a fact.
" starving your brain for oxygen or flooding it with chemicals " ...there are a lot of drugs that are consumed through burning & inhaling the resulting smoke or vapours...that was the area I was talking about as well as the fact the end result of any drug use is the effect on the brain/mind. It wasn't " misinformation " in any way EXCEPT to those who can't read properly. The only thing they should teach kids about drug use is how bad they are & using them ONLY in life & death circumstances.
He wasn't addicted to drugs, he was addicted to knowledge, and the drugs he did (DMT/shrooms, not coke or acid, to any troll out there) gave him universal knowledge. I don't blame him, if I had that available to me then I would be as much of an addict as he would...
many vine like plants (lianas) which grow on trees gather some portion of their nutrients from the photosynthate of their host. the vine didn't grow on the dead limb because there was no nutritional incentive for it to do so. that is most likely the mechanism, however this story is no less astonishing for it.
@blavor2003 By telling us what we already know, that is so visibly apparent and transparent right in front of our eyes? You sir, couldn't be more from the truth.
The image of the have tree triggered the imagination process to build a picture of mechanism described. It's quite secondary in this case, whether his assumption was true or not.
Part 6: I wont say that Mckenna did not use alot of psychedelia, however I still don't think you have given any reason for anyone to believe that he was "obsessed," in any way, and in fact, I think what I had stated previously about his ability to hold conversation for hours, on all different topics are signs that he wasn't quite obsessed with anything but perhaps... talking? but I don't know if you should call a person a talking addict. Why is it amazing he didnt end up homeless?
@HUaRC A discussion should not be a rant. Respect is a state of positive esteem for another which is a key factor in society. Societies thrive on empathy which thrives off positive esteem. Disrespect is antisocial behaviour. Look up altruism.
What do you think it is on mushrooms that suddenly gives you that feeling of "I am everything, i want to be everything, we are one". I ALWAYS get this, there must be MORE to it.
@MisterNickOtine Wouldn't that response to stimuli still be indicative of some sort of sentience. Maybe not conscious sentience, so to speak, but rather a vibrational or electric sentience. As Einstein said, "Try and penetrate, with our limited means, the secrets of nature, and you will find that behind all the discernable concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable." I think that's kind of where McKenna's coming from here.
@HUaSS...LMAO..Wow..it's not everyday you get such a candid view into the mind of a mental patient..thank you. You are the best example of why mind altering drugs are so dangerous..they should use you as a case study. Everybody is crazy except for HUaSS..O_o
@philhunter2005 - that was terences assumption. i definately wouldn't say life evolved 'in order to move into space' but i would say its possible that life evolves in order to do so. the earth probably has little idea whats happening to the sun other that how it evolves in response to the changing sun. never heard of terence before today!
@markst There is something of the face of War in this argument here. You see, I think we must learn to leave eachothers opinions as equally valid. Then, when opinion is not forced, we may live together in forward momentum.
@InsideOUT37 Hah! You really got ShadowCookie going. I used to be a huge fan of Terence McKenna's and I've listened to just about every piece of audio of Terence out there on the net. I don't believe he was an addict, in fact, he would even go as far as saying that psychedelics aren't addicting substances. He didn't use them on a regular basis, btw, his method was high doses, but taken rarely, like twice or thrice a year would be considered often. He was never at any point in his life homeless.
@HUaRC Parents have to satisfy their ego to upkeep their image in front of the "others" and for themselves. "I'm a good parent, because my kid listens to my orders." "I'm a good kid, because I listen to my parents" When a kids tell them "NO" they ego gets damaged and they react immediately and force the kid to submission using verbal/physical/emotional force or grounding. Anyhow they exploit the situation of a weaker human and get a sense of self as "superiors" over "lesser being".
I am listening multiple times and learning more about his perspective and insights, but this fear he had is one of the big things I just can't get in like with. It reminds me of a religious person trying to motivate others by fear. "Do this or you're all going to die!". He believed that we must take mushrooms or destroy ourselves & the planet. He believed the computer models, that we're going to overpopulate and end up destroying the earth. I don't agree & don't like the fear based nature of it.
I'd love to have some sort of reference to that. I love that quote and am an admirer of Alan Watts. If you know where i can read/hear that please do let me know. Thanks.
No doubt..if there is one thing in life that is guaranteed, it's that we will all die at some point. Mr Mckenna was a nice guy with a serious addiction. Sadly he died wondering if aliens were actually real and what, if anything, the world would be like in 2012. Unfortunately..he didn't get the chance to find out.
ha, thanks! I post plenty of garbage too. every once in a while something good sneaks its way out there. I try to keep it classy on these kinds of videos though. glad you liked it. I am surprised that Mckenna didnt bring that up being that he was an ethnobotanist.
just as the vine anticipated the limb would break off.. earth anticipates the suns forth coming death.. and humans are an outcrop of this anticipation to survive it..
This is one reason why life seems to be intelligently designed and in a way it was by Organisms themselves and their purposeful intentional and the pan-cosmo-Quantum supra-conscious holographic in-formational memory field of co-entangled states. This is co-evolutionary co-creation or co-creative intelligent self-organized co-evolutionary design. That's the evolutionary design revolution.
@InsideOUT37 Oh, sure, no I wouldn't say that Terence wasn't a heavy pot smoker, that's something he did admit using quite often, I was just saying that he didn't abuse the psychedelics. You see, the doses he advocated aren't what I'd call "recreational" or "fun." This is why he called it the "heroic dose." It's really a mission and will take every ounce of courage you have. That's what Terence did rarely, and he never went into it without a huge sense of sickening dread each time.
...McKenna's theory is certainly far fetched but none the less a 'theory' in its own right. Further it might actually be correct in areas rather than in its entirety. By divine I dont think he meant god as such but more a higher purpose than coincidence or luck. The universe may or may not have a consciousness depending on how you define consciousness. Is evolution a type of consciousness? perhaps not but it didn't need to 'think' in order to build animals and humans.
"The only thing they should teach kids about drug use is how bad they are & using them ONLY in life & death circumstances." What about the truth? Give them some credit for their own intelligence, give them the facts and let them think, instead of saying "it's bad because I said so." While we're at it, we should do the same thing with sex. I had to sit through hours of "drugs are bad, mmkay?" and "abstinence only" brainwashing in school when I could have been learning something useful.
This is quantum holographic syntropy through pan-cosmo-Quantum supra-conscious holographic in-formational memory field of co-entangled states i.e morphic resonance. Life is good at sensing things yet to happen through being already entangled with the matter and energy of the things involved in the anticipated event/occurrence.
@InsideOUT37 I didn't mean to insult you at all, Sir. Please understand that I just noticed a vulgar exchange taking place here, and, due to the fact that I sympathize with some of what I've read markst write here, I urged him not to fuel the fire with hate. From viewing my watching history, you have drawn erroneous conclusions. I find Mckenna humble, loving, fascinating and caring. His yarns are cause for celebration for many good people.
@JoshJamesification The problem is, they don't understand this and each generation teaches the next to be a mental slave. Modern men have absolute freedom, but they are afraid to think for themselves and conform instead following the herd. And the government is the "herder". The whole thing starts with the idea of "Respect", a word which means obedience, aggression, submission without question or reason. The word "respect" doesn't exist for me. I don't give it and I don't expect it.
Hah, your comment can be applied to yourself here very loud and clear. For example, how about explaining and proofing your statements? I've heard infinitely more interesting and well thought out new paradigms and ideas eloquently explained from this man than i heard from you so far. Also, as far as insights the next day go, well, i and many others have had insights that changed the rest of our lives. So when you say "when you are high", you are obviously only saying "when I am high".

Antibodies? If anything we‘re the attacker. Look at what we‘re doing to the environment and the atmosphere - and to each other and all other animals.
Christoph Hanke i think knowledge comes at a price and we’re still learning how to use it
I want to point out that almost every Terrance McKenna and Alan Watts video I see on CZcams has 111k views. Definitely a sign :)
Listen again and again to get the deeper message. You are on the right path.
im going to buy a couple eighths of mush and listen to this guy. i just discovered him yesterday. gonna be great.
Tell us about your trip
thank you for this jewel............
Ive been listening to terence mckenna for a few years now and I am just absolutely fascinated with his workshops, his speechs and his knowledge and understanding. But when people ask me who he is and what he is i dont have an answer. Anybody got one?
this man just blows my mind with his ideas and insight of the world
amazing, amazing man.
Love our mother and cherish her children
just listening to his voice puts me in a better place. any1 else feel that way?
Perhaps like an organism that produces an offspring to live on though it's DNA, the earth has produced us to live on through ITS DNA in the hopes of inter planet travel...
Whadya think?!
i ate mushrooms once and imagined the earth as a seed producing organism that is meant to germinate the universe
Mick Jagged Wow, that's an insanely profound visualization..
Mick Jagged I think you're on to something...
Lucius Atkinson Or on something ;)
Spiral out, keep going
+Mick Jagged thanks for catapulting my imagination on the path of (intelligent) panspermia today; my evening meditation just got a scenario it can explore
Thank you! Terrence truly has transformed himself away from so much cultural conditioning and in so doing has brought us a view outside the box.
The understanding of the universe I have reached, thanks to this man, is just profound.
I love how he can come up with the most astoundingly out there theories...but, somehow, they always make such lucid obvious sense. He does such a good job at showing, plainly, how the discoveries of modern science and the common intuitions of thousands of spiritual paths are pointing to the same idea...and idea that can be experience personally and directly, if you so chose, by ingesting a few grams of a fungus that grows out of the Earth just as we ourselves do.

Acting on the world stage,just enjoy the play. Enjoy life and love that is all that is.

There are an infinite number or things more than life and love around here.
I wonder where in space and time he might be at this point in time.... what a legend..
the best
Thank you for sharing, What a great synchronicity! I guess there is an important message here for you.
Where did this take place? Looks so relaxing. I want to attend a session like this, everyone is just laying down in a room full of pillows and open-mindedness. too chill. haha
Kaman Bagati looks like a cult meeting
I belive he did a lot of these infomational expose,s in Hawaii I belive at botanical demensions ? I may have thd name wrong
More like an ashram
Not only one consciousness, but one Being. Happy journeys friend =)
Totally agree my friend.
at first i thought his voice was a little weird, but it just synchs in my brain now :)
The guy below me is climbing the branch about to fall.
Having listened to Terrence for probably days (all his monologues added up!) of my life I know that sometimes when he comes out with a non-existent word (helio-geo..... etc etc) these have come from his copious use of DMT and his mind trying to make sense of these powerful experiences. As I myself have smoked the spirit molecule on around 60-70 occasions I sorta know were he's coming from.SORT OF!!!!
When you're thinking to yourself in your head, who are you talking to? Who is aware you are thinking?
This should be everyone's alarm clock...
I like that, empowering.

@InsideOUT37 Speaking simply pharmacalogically,certain chemical molecules namely dmt,psilocybin and thc are designed so perfectly they fit inside a respective receptor in our brain.No matter the experience of the observer, there tends to be no coincidence that exists a plant which can inhibit an amino acid in our stomach thus allowing another plant molecule to pass unharmed to create something that was meant to happen.Our brains are hardwired to accept key plant molecules.This is a fact.
" starving your brain for oxygen or flooding it with chemicals " ...there are a lot of drugs that are consumed through burning & inhaling the resulting smoke or vapours...that was the area I was talking about as well as the fact the end result of any drug use is the effect on the brain/mind. It wasn't " misinformation " in any way EXCEPT to those who can't read properly. The only thing they should teach kids about drug use is how bad they are & using them ONLY in life & death circumstances.
He wasn't addicted to drugs, he was addicted to knowledge, and the drugs he did (DMT/shrooms, not coke or acid, to any troll out there) gave him universal knowledge. I don't blame him, if I had that available to me then I would be as much of an addict as he would...
many vine like plants (lianas) which grow on trees gather some portion of their nutrients from the photosynthate of their host. the vine didn't grow on the dead limb because there was no nutritional incentive for it to do so. that is most likely the mechanism, however this story is no less astonishing for it.
@blavor2003
By telling us what we already know, that is so visibly apparent and transparent right in front of our eyes? You sir, couldn't be more from the truth.
The image of the have tree triggered the imagination process to build a picture of mechanism described. It's quite secondary in this case, whether his assumption was true or not.
Anyone else notice the chick right in front of Terrence stick her hand down her pants? Hilarious.
Part 6: I wont say that Mckenna did not use alot of psychedelia, however I still don't think you have given any reason for anyone to believe that he was "obsessed," in any way, and in fact, I think what I had stated previously about his ability to hold conversation for hours, on all different topics are signs that he wasn't quite obsessed with anything but perhaps... talking? but I don't know if you should call a person a talking addict. Why is it amazing he didnt end up homeless?
@HUaRC A discussion should not be a rant. Respect is a state of positive esteem for another which is a key factor in society. Societies thrive on empathy which thrives off positive esteem. Disrespect is antisocial behaviour. Look up altruism.
What do you think it is on mushrooms that suddenly gives you that feeling of "I am everything, i want to be everything, we are one". I ALWAYS get this, there must be MORE to it.
@MisterNickOtine
Wouldn't that response to stimuli still be indicative of some sort of sentience. Maybe not conscious sentience, so to speak, but rather a vibrational or electric sentience. As Einstein said, "Try and penetrate, with our limited means, the secrets of nature, and you will find that behind all the discernable concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable." I think that's kind of where McKenna's coming from here.
What a muse I have chosen or he has chosen me? Peace
Wow this is like "The Happening"
@HUaSS...LMAO..Wow..it's not everyday you get such a candid view into the mind of a mental patient..thank you. You are the best example of why mind altering drugs are so dangerous..they should use you as a case study. Everybody is crazy except for HUaSS..O_o
@philhunter2005 - that was terences assumption. i definately wouldn't say life evolved 'in order to move into space' but i would say its possible that life evolves in order to do so. the earth probably has little idea whats happening to the sun other that how it evolves in response to the changing sun. never heard of terence before today!
@markst There is something of the face of War in this argument here.
You see, I think we must learn to leave eachothers opinions as equally valid. Then, when opinion is not forced, we may live together in forward momentum.
@InsideOUT37 Hah! You really got ShadowCookie going.
I used to be a huge fan of Terence McKenna's and I've listened to just about every piece of audio of Terence out there on the net. I don't believe he was an addict, in fact, he would even go as far as saying that psychedelics aren't addicting substances. He didn't use them on a regular basis, btw, his method was high doses, but taken rarely, like twice or thrice a year would be considered often. He was never at any point in his life homeless.
@HUaRC Parents have to satisfy their ego to upkeep their image in front of the "others" and for themselves. "I'm a good parent, because my kid listens to my orders." "I'm a good kid, because I listen to my parents" When a kids tell them "NO" they ego gets damaged and they react immediately and force the kid to submission using verbal/physical/emotional force or grounding. Anyhow they exploit the situation of a weaker human and get a sense of self as "superiors" over "lesser being".
I am listening multiple times and learning more about his perspective and insights, but this fear he had is one of the big things I just can't get in like with. It reminds me of a religious person trying to motivate others by fear. "Do this or you're all going to die!". He believed that we must take mushrooms or destroy ourselves & the planet. He believed the computer models, that we're going to overpopulate and end up destroying the earth. I don't agree & don't like the fear based nature of it.
I'd love to have some sort of reference to that. I love that quote and am an admirer of Alan Watts. If you know where i can read/hear that please do let me know. Thanks.
Stimme transportiert die Botschaft
100% yes
Hahaha, I love how the audience is like, laying down
No doubt..if there is one thing in life that is guaranteed, it's that we will all die at some point. Mr Mckenna was a nice guy with a serious addiction. Sadly he died wondering if aliens were actually real and what, if anything, the world would be like in 2012. Unfortunately..he didn't get the chance to find out.
ha, thanks! I post plenty of garbage too. every once in a while something good sneaks its way out there. I try to keep it classy on these kinds of videos though. glad you liked it.
I am surprised that Mckenna didnt bring that up being that he was an ethnobotanist.
just as the vine anticipated the limb would break off.. earth anticipates the suns forth coming death.. and humans are an outcrop of this anticipation to survive it..
This is one reason why life seems to be intelligently designed and in a way it was by Organisms themselves and their purposeful intentional and the pan-cosmo-Quantum supra-conscious holographic in-formational memory field of co-entangled states. This is co-evolutionary co-creation or co-creative intelligent self-organized co-evolutionary design. That's the evolutionary design revolution.
:)
@InsideOUT37 Oh, sure, no I wouldn't say that Terence wasn't a heavy pot smoker, that's something he did admit using quite often, I was just saying that he didn't abuse the psychedelics. You see, the doses he advocated aren't what I'd call "recreational" or "fun." This is why he called it the "heroic dose." It's really a mission and will take every ounce of courage you have. That's what Terence did rarely, and he never went into it without a huge sense of sickening dread each time.
@InsideOUT37 That's a little extreme. I do agree with you, though... No institution should 'rescue' freeloaders and bottom feeders, either.
99% yes it is
Do you think your worry and fear might have a negative impact on your bod & mind?
wow.....
so you discovered we are indeed all one consciousness? I am going to try this :3
we are stardust. thats just a fact thats our & everythings origin that we can see. 'As far as commoner man knows, we are the most advanced '
yes it is
...McKenna's theory is certainly far fetched but none the less a 'theory' in its own right. Further it might actually be correct in areas rather than in its entirety. By divine I dont think he meant god as such but more a higher purpose than coincidence or luck. The universe may or may not have a consciousness depending on how you define consciousness. Is evolution a type of consciousness? perhaps not but it didn't need to 'think' in order to build animals and humans.
"The only thing they should teach kids about drug use is how bad they are & using them ONLY in life & death circumstances."
What about the truth? Give them some credit for their own intelligence, give them the facts and let them think, instead of saying "it's bad because I said so." While we're at it, we should do the same thing with sex. I had to sit through hours of "drugs are bad, mmkay?" and "abstinence only" brainwashing in school when I could have been learning something useful.
He did say dead tree!
This is quantum holographic syntropy through pan-cosmo-Quantum supra-conscious holographic in-formational memory field of co-entangled states i.e morphic resonance. Life is good at sensing things yet to happen through being already entangled with the matter and energy of the things involved in the anticipated event/occurrence.
@InsideOUT37 I didn't mean to insult you at all, Sir. Please understand that I just noticed a vulgar exchange taking place here, and, due to the fact that I sympathize with some of what I've read markst write here, I urged him not to fuel the fire with hate.
From viewing my watching history, you have drawn erroneous conclusions. I find Mckenna humble, loving, fascinating and caring. His yarns are cause for celebration for many good people.
@JoshJamesification The problem is, they don't understand this and each generation teaches the next to be a mental slave. Modern men have absolute freedom, but they are afraid to think for themselves and conform instead following the herd. And the government is the "herder". The whole thing starts with the idea of "Respect", a word which means obedience, aggression, submission without question or reason. The word "respect" doesn't exist for me. I don't give it and I don't expect it.
Anyone know what this clip is from? Would love to see the whole presentation... Thanks!
@mu5icaddict2 we are the vine heading for the rot if we dont change our trajectory ASAP
Hah, your comment can be applied to yourself here very loud and clear. For example, how about explaining and proofing your statements? I've heard infinitely more interesting and well thought out new paradigms and ideas eloquently explained from this man than i heard from you so far. Also, as far as insights the next day go, well, i and many others have had insights that changed the rest of our lives. So when you say "when you are high", you are obviously only saying "when I am high".
