Take what resonates with you and expand THAT. The messages from McKenna, Bashar, and others have assisted me in stepping in front of my ego and working with it. It's the message that's important. Mind over matter? Mind IS matter. The mind is finite. The heart is infinite. Live from the heart. Good vibrations. :-)
i think it can be done naturally..and i think he was being a little bit silly about saying if i can't wake up and tell myself i've taken mushrooms......because when it happens naturally in the body without a substance...those visions usually only happen when you meditate....you can humble yourself either way...you can "control" how long you want to do it in meditation...with mushrooms you gotta wait and see XDXDDXD it's all preference, but brings you to the same place....<3 <3 <3 <3 so much love
@TheUniversalOcean Well, this is a video of McKenna, giving McKennas's opinion - and he stated several times that he found meditation boring, or at best not at all anything like the psychedelic experience. He saw meditation as emptying the mind of content, and psychedelics as filling the mind with new ideas from a kind of exos-domain. It would actually imply that these two things aren't mutually exclusive. One frees up space, the other fills it with alien information.
terrence says salvation becomes obscene. on an individual basis, he let it become obscene to him. there is salvation offered by those that don't know, then there is the salvation terrence offers himself, which is also probably lacking, mine included, otherwise i'd be free.
Terrence McKenna and Alan Watts talk a whole lot of sense. what they say isn't easy to realise or put into practice, but it makes a whole lot of sense.

drug abuse? Weed, LSD, Shrooms and DMT wont do anything to you except enhancing your mind to become more aware of whats actually going on in this world that we live in, and maybe other worlds
@popstone1 Just stop what you are doing. I've only seen you in 2 vids of Mckenna and you are not smart, clever of funny. Just stop promoting your idiot ideas. He is NOT promoting drugs abuse.
@texasB666 are we talking about the same terence mckenna? what exactly do you think he is doing? i am not interested in being smart clever or funny. i am doing exactly what a sane person should do, i am attacking the teachings of this evil clown and raising a contrary voice to his poison. and ever single mckenna video is promoting DRUG ABUSE to CHILDREN. who else do you think would ever take this clown seriously?
@popstone1 Your viewpoints are not welcome. You attack him for no reason. Have you ever done ayahuasca? Have you ever delved into his teachings or books? Do you know he has a brother? I'm not trying to force my believes onto yours. But you shouldn't put your believes on this vid. Keep em to yourself. I really doubt some 10 your old kid will question "Mmmm i feel like doing some drugs. I'm going to listen what Mckenna has to say." It doesn't work that way. So again. Stop what you're doing.
@texasB666 i've actually listened to his crap quite extensively. i've listened to him enough to know that his rap is very persuasive. but his eloquence doesn't make him right. he is leading young people into drug use and that is a crime.
@ajones123ful It depens what you see as "drugs". People should be responsible for what they do, what drugs they take and what they think. Its called freedom. I've done drugs. Am i an addict or an ogre? No. I'm not. Hundreds of years ago slaves were used for sugar and coffee. Now it seems common doesn't it? They are also drugs but i guess you think they don't harm us? You know starbucks? the crimes are implaced by governments. Don't blame the drug.
@ajones123ful no he isn't- he is giving his opinion.He never talks about being right.you are missing the point.Do you understand thAT our society pushes drugs ever day ie: cigarettes,alcohol and coffee to name just 3- soda is worse than many drugs and is a drug in itself- prescription medication is frightful. open your mind,but while you are doing that let go of the many preconceived notions you have- we all have them and have to let go- direct experience is the only way-
@texasB666 yeah, it doesn't work that way? how exactly does it work, how did it work for you to become so deluded as to think you should put this video up where kids can see it?

@texasB666 but texas, you have put your "believes" out here in public. and you thought no one would ever disagree, i guess. that's one thing about you mckenna disciples - y'all get all itchy when someone criticises him. it's because deep inside there is a part of you that knows he ain't rightsome component of your inner self that smells his lies.
but anyway, you've put this out in public and therefore i have the right to disagree and attack your lying drug messiah. and i will.
@PsyPhiRevolution I've always looked at it differently. I honestly think he served his purpose here on Earth. I can't even begin to fathom what it took to have the memory he had, his ability to articulate ideas, and the knowledge he spread through a countless number of talks (like this one). I think a great afterlife (some call it heaven) lay beyond his life here. I don't know why he passed from a brain tumor, but I personally think if he was meant to stay here he would have.

I want to lead a movement to get people to end this consumeristic, materialistic, individualistic, self-righteous nature of society but what would McKenna say? How do we do this?

Everyone can be an artist, everyone can be a spiritual leader or a healer. We don't have to settle for this...
@VooDooLynx I agree, Terence said this would be done by stealth which is precisely what is happening through the internet now. Let's just hope it wakes enough people up before it's too late. One fact which Terence and many others have said is humans don't have the answer, nature does, and until we return to putting nature of man back into nature, the crap will continue.
@tonytg909 "They" have spent the last 3000+ YEARS separating us from nature, and the divine feminine with equal vigor; starting with f*king up our calendar taking it away from the moon and into their CONTROL system!
Few people can recognize how important this seemingly minor change was in creating this separation with ALL THAT IS NATURAL!
We KILL our food and the very bacteria that help to nourish our children under the FACADE of 'helping'!
@UnoRaza I agree, I didn't realise just how much impact any calendar system has on society, until you stop a think about it a little, after studying the Mayan calendar and the way they used it to affect their lives, our calendar seems just based around money and hypocracy.
I think we should start a movement. Anyone with a free mind should join in the start this movement. Our environment is in crisis - we have to do something.
I am from belgium, a last year student in a master economics... and I feel that there too few people aware of the things that are happening... and I wanted to look on forums and stuff to get people together... but they are still hard to find... here in belgium... I think that everyone should listen to what terence has to say because... gosh, he is truly such a great figure...
@simbanobel Ik "woon" ook in België :) Ik heb laatst met mijn rugzak en slaapzak lopen rondzeulen door Europa en je zou nog eens versteld staan hoeveel jonge mensen (zoals jij en ik) door hebben hoe fucked alles is. Ik heb Mckenna zijn boek gelezen toen ik onderweg was naar God weet waar. Voedsel der Goden is een geniaal boek en hij laat inderdaad weten dat de dominatorcultuur, zoals hij het noemt, zo verschrikkelijk destructief is, en het erge is, dat we er middenin zitten...
@texasB666 Ohh dat vind ik geweldig, nog iemand die terence mckenna kent én die nederlands spreekt én van belgië!!. Je moet denken, ik heb bijna een master in handelswetenschappen op zak, je zou niet meteen verwachten dat zo iemand in de interests of mckenna's world verzeild zou geraken :). Heb al zijn lectures en video's, heb ook zijn boek, the archaic revival.... . Maar terence begint ge te verstaan pas na een tijdje, het vergt een brede kennis van engels, en ook de auteurs die hij quote...
@texasB666 Hij is een echte revelatie in mijn leven geweest, en de hele psychedelic community is één van mijn interesses geworden. Ik ben via Sphonghle bij terence terecht gekomen, en zo ook in contact gekomen met DMT, wat u wel bekend in de oren zal klinken. Zeer inspirerend en hoopvol... ik zou u moeten toevoegen ergens? ik gebruik facebook voor mijn contacten in het buitenland enz... heb jij dat ook?
@simbanobel lol Neen, dat klopt. Iemand die een gewichtige studie doet ( en nog wel een master!) die Mckenna kent. Meestal zijn het de grote 'underdogs' en de psychedelische freaks die hem kennen en appreciëren :D Ik zie dat we even oud zijn hehe. Al heeft leeftijd natuurlijk geen kloten te maken met iets. Idd Shpongle! Ik denk dat ik hem heb leren kennen via Alan Watts, maar ben niet zeker. Je kan via facebook wel bij me terecht. Mijn naam is Robin Pannemans. Chille foto (kan niet missen)
@85226 It costs nothing my friend. Fear of the price is part of the illusion people are caught in. Forgive yourself, forgive others, recognise your ego thinking and meditate. Its really not as hard as some think. Good luck in your quest for peace.¸*♥♥♥♥*
Hi Gaia, that's the marker, as u just put it, " he died of a brain tumor " and it was'nt to his liking ! Terrence is spot on in his " Call to ATTENTION " then he fails on the how to get to " the WAY OUT "
Hi Gaia, that's the marker, as u just put it, " he died of a brain tumor " and it was'nt to his liking ! Terrence is spot on in his " Call to ATTENTION " then he fails on the how to get " The WAY OUT " he 's so right when there's a million ways out one can't afford them " not " to be " The WAY OUT " and that's why we can't afford them because NONE of them are the way out. Not that the way out is free and u don't turn ur back on society u become the solution and when people see it works they join
to understand mckennas psychedelic use you must de condition yourself to anything you think you now about drugs. 5 gram psilocybin voyage would probobaly do the trick for ya, it did for me.
There is absolutely NO WAY to reach this plateau w/o the use of a psychoactive substance such as psilocybin. This is what it means to be embodied by "the holy ghost",
Terence Mckenna has shown us the door but we must have the courage to pass through it. Honor the felt presence of direct experience and reflect love in everything you do.
McKenna was a genius but his solution was flawed, psychadelics isn't the answer bc its still looking for the answer. if you're looking you will always be looking. desire for anything is the cause of all suffering. salvation cannot be "found" because you already have it, right this very second, you're just not paying attention. you are whole, complete, perfect right now, just by your beingness...the fact that you exist. pure awareness is the bliss everyone has every second.
mckenna's message on taking psychedelics isn't about finding the answer, the purpose of taking psychedelics is to explore a completely different world that exist out of sight, in other words psychedelics are supposed free your mind from ordinary culture and reality.
watch the video titled: the purpose of psychedelics
@ThePsychedelicBanana you can free your mind from culture and reality without substances...i've already done that. unfortunately most people do not follow McKenna's method and take psychadelics because they want to escape reality...and escaping reality is not the answer...the way out is through, to quote a NIN song. reality is the thing, there is nothing wrong with it, its our egoic interpretation of reality that makes us want to escape it. like i said most people want escape.
the answer is no answer...become aware of pure awareness, which is the nothingness that everything comes from...awareness doesn't get tired, hungry, angry or sad...it is always there, waiting for you to become aware of it and one with it...this is the end of suffering. to become aware of pure awareness, youtube search: "quantum entrainment"...watch and learn.
@ThePsychedelicBanana there's nothing to figure out...you will always be trying to figure it out, because there is no "answer", its just the ego trying to find something to do. notice how no one ever seems to "figure it out", bc there is no figuring anything out. you are whole, complete, perfect all the time, it's just mind's tendency to create duality in the world, good/bad, rich/poor, etc...thats the illusion
I really think what your saying makes sense and that its valid, but when i take psychedelics it's not because i wan't to figure something out it's because i wan't to explore an unfamiliar world. dmt is so intense that it can actually eradicate your ego, they call it ego death. our ego creates culture and duality, to put a halt on that we must suppress it. impede its function so to speak. when you have and ego death you feel the overwhelming sense of unity with everything around you.
very good point he makes about achieving a "higher level of awareness" naturally. If you could do that you would probably go insane. Definitely need a "marker".
i disagree in the question if you can get yourself into "modus" only by yourself. if done it several times. its a other experience than on mushrooms but one time i got so high, it was like near death or some would call it "god"experience. i only was one time so high and i think unless i start training myself to get high againe i will never go there againe :)
but please correct my if i missunderstand this, because ego itself can not con itself ?! "the single biggest con" u know?
whats the big difference between THIS dude and the >CONSUMER MASSES when HE himself murdered himself by DRUGS ? all he is is a bit more sophisticated and eloquent but at the end he is also a consumer an has no answers
I'm happy listening to McKenna with music or without...the guy who put this piece to music was doing for those that like it with music, I guess...I didn't feel there was anything disrespectful in that :-))
The person who combined the recording of the speech of Terence McKennas with the audio of a musical track has entirely missed the point of Terence McKenna in the most infantile way.
To say "Music is just music" is willful ignorance. This music inhibits the understanding of the spoken word in this audio, quite apart from my original point.
I kinda begin to see your point, seeing as how the music is "new age" and optimistic, with the spoken word being quite the contrary. Besides that, I think there's still room for interpretation of the words. Could you please elaborate on yours?
@mkklmann Hi. Well, I simply think that if one has any respect for such an, obviously intelligent and well read man and his cogent and (to him) reasoned lectures; then moody, atmospheric music is first, entirely unnecessary and secondly rather insulting to viewer and speaker. Put more simply it is patronising. Put personally, it is tacky.
You really have to imagine if you were alone in nature for your entire life. All of this social status,pop-culture,and opinions don't matter. Things must become more self-evident. Duality of realities,you know? Like the DMT and drug world and the one were in right now. A biological and spiritual dual existence of some sort of united one to a certain degree as Terence said.
Just knowing all of this is a start...I can't imagine all the sheep that go about life without a thought about this
I think that the term "real" and "time" only matter in our minds. You dont see animals worrying about time or anything really but instinct. I think if we followed are instincts instead of society that the world could be a better place. Its just all one thing that we just cant comprehend until we are ready.
I think I'd have to disagree with the assertion on animals. Animals may not worry about time, but I'm pretty sure at some point they are aware that not all events of their life are happening simultaneously in front of them. If they weren't aware of that I have no idea how a predator would be able to hunt successfully
@xxSpearMonkeyxx Thats a good point. I suppose animals can have a vague sense of time working on the way the sun moves. Instinctively they know when the sun goes up and their stomach aches they need food. What I was really trying to get at is human beings always need to be here and there, they can't just stop for one second and enjoy whats in front of them. Including myself, I to rush around at times. But if you really think about it whats the point. Are you in a hurry to die?
Ah yeah, I'd definitely agree with that. Sadly I think some are in fact in a hurry to die just as a result of knowing nothing else but what the culture has taught them :/ I feel you on this one though
I don't buy into this notion that the psychedelic experience opens up your mind to new streams of consciousness, hidden dimensions of truth, or the universe or whatever phenomena proponents like McKenna, Leary, Ram Dass and others purport. The "experience" is nothing more than a temporary psychosis, nothing more. Whatever epiphany is realized during the experience is not trustworthy revelation that should be a guide for your life.
@jtravis282 I agree to some sense, people tend to make a prophet out of these substances (not that I think I prefer human prophets)...
It probably takes a lot more than just a meatbag ingesting a psychedelic to get something ''great'' out of it... But I bet you if it doesn't (with high enough doses) make you question enough things to make possible for groundbreaking thoughts. It's a step at least.
@jtravis282 Of course it's not to realistic to believe the Machine Elves etc. truly exist outside your mind.
But neither old myths, astrology, the psychedelic experience, or even philosophy and psychology to a large degree...needs to be 'real'.
Just because they most likely are fictional or simply not based on hard and fast fact, doesn't mean they can't teach you anything, can't make you think in new ways.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That was indeed a good speech. Indeed he died young from his drug use, nonetheless it seems he made that choice. I respect anyone who has the balls to do something so renegade. I personally would greatly fear such an endeavor, but recognize a true hero when I see one.
I say this... the places i have been and the being i have met were with the aid of DMT... Hell that is when I met Babaji... thank you for this...

@VooDooLynx I agree, Terence said this would be done by stealth which is precisely what is happening through the internet now. Let's just hope it wakes enough people up before it's too late. One fact which Terence and many others have said is humans don't have the answer, nature does, and until we return to putting nature of man back into nature, the crap will continue.

@tonytg909 "They" have spent the last 3000+ YEARS separating us from nature, and the divine feminine with equal vigor; starting with f*king up our calendar taking it away from the moon and into their CONTROL system!
Few people can recognize how important this seemingly minor change was in creating this separation with ALL THAT IS NATURAL!
We KILL our food and the very bacteria that help to nourish our children under the FACADE of 'helping'!

@UnoRaza I agree, I didn't realise just how much impact any calendar system has on society, until you stop a think about it a little, after studying the Mayan calendar and the way they used it to affect their lives, our calendar seems just based around money and hypocracy.

@simbanobel Ik "woon" ook in België :) Ik heb laatst met mijn rugzak en slaapzak lopen rondzeulen door Europa en je zou nog eens versteld staan hoeveel jonge mensen (zoals jij en ik) door hebben hoe fucked alles is. Ik heb Mckenna zijn boek gelezen toen ik onderweg was naar God weet waar. Voedsel der Goden is een geniaal boek en hij laat inderdaad weten dat de dominatorcultuur, zoals hij het noemt, zo verschrikkelijk destructief is, en het erge is, dat we er middenin zitten...

Je moet denken, ik heb bijna een master in handelswetenschappen op zak, je zou niet meteen verwachten dat zo iemand in de interests of mckenna's world verzeild zou geraken :). Heb al zijn lectures en video's, heb ook zijn boek, the archaic revival.... . Maar terence begint ge te verstaan pas na een tijdje, het vergt een brede kennis van engels, en ook de auteurs die hij quote...

McKenna was a genius but his solution was flawed, psychadelics isn't the answer bc its still looking for the answer. if you're looking you will always be looking. desire for anything is the cause of all suffering. salvation cannot be "found" because you already have it, right this very second, you're just not paying attention. you are whole, complete, perfect right now, just by your beingness...the fact that you exist. pure awareness is the bliss everyone has every second.

mckenna's message on taking psychedelics isn't about finding the answer, the purpose of taking psychedelics is to explore a completely different world that exist out of sight, in other words psychedelics are supposed free your mind from ordinary culture and reality.
watch the video titled: the purpose of psychedelics
ThePsychedelicBanana 1 year ago
@ThePsychedelicBanana you can free your mind from culture and reality without substances...i've already done that. unfortunately most people do not follow McKenna's method and take psychadelics because they want to escape reality...and escaping reality is not the answer...the way out is through, to quote a NIN song. reality is the thing, there is nothing wrong with it, its our egoic interpretation of reality that makes us want to escape it. like i said most people want escape.

the answer is no answer...become aware of pure awareness, which is the nothingness that everything comes from...awareness doesn't get tired, hungry, angry or sad...it is always there, waiting for you to become aware of it and one with it...this is the end of suffering. to become aware of pure awareness, youtube search: "quantum entrainment"...watch and learn.

@Colt2571
I really think what your saying makes sense and that its valid, but when i take psychedelics it's not because i wan't to figure something out it's because i wan't to explore an unfamiliar world. dmt is so intense that it can actually eradicate your ego, they call it ego death. our ego creates culture and duality, to put a halt on that we must suppress it. impede its function so to speak. when you have and ego death you feel the overwhelming sense of unity with everything around you.

I kinda begin to see your point, seeing as how the music is "new age" and optimistic, with the spoken word being quite the contrary. Besides that, I think there's still room for interpretation of the words. Could you please elaborate on yours?

@mkklmann Hi. Well, I simply think that if one has any respect for such an, obviously intelligent and well read man and his cogent and (to him) reasoned lectures; then moody, atmospheric music is first, entirely unnecessary and secondly rather insulting to viewer and speaker. Put more simply it is patronising. Put personally, it is tacky.

You really have to imagine if you were alone in nature for your entire life. All of this social status,pop-culture,and opinions don't matter. Things must become more self-evident. Duality of realities,you know? Like the DMT and drug world and the one were in right now. A biological and spiritual dual existence of some sort of united one to a certain degree as Terence said.
Just knowing all of this is a start...I can't imagine all the sheep that go about life without a thought about this

I think that the term "real" and "time" only matter in our minds. You dont see animals worrying about time or anything really but instinct. I think if we followed are instincts instead of society that the world could be a better place. Its just all one thing that we just cant comprehend until we are ready.
HIM47 2 years ago 12
@HIM47
I think I'd have to disagree with the assertion on animals. Animals may not worry about time, but I'm pretty sure at some point they are aware that not all events of their life are happening simultaneously in front of them. If they weren't aware of that I have no idea how a predator would be able to hunt successfully
xxSpearMonkeyxx 1 year ago
@xxSpearMonkeyxx Thats a good point. I suppose animals can have a vague sense of time working on the way the sun moves. Instinctively they know when the sun goes up and their stomach aches they need food. What I was really trying to get at is human beings always need to be here and there, they can't just stop for one second and enjoy whats in front of them. Including myself, I to rush around at times. But if you really think about it whats the point. Are you in a hurry to die?

I don't buy into this notion that the psychedelic experience opens up your mind to new streams of consciousness, hidden dimensions of truth, or the universe or whatever phenomena proponents like McKenna, Leary, Ram Dass and others purport. The "experience" is nothing more than a temporary psychosis, nothing more. Whatever epiphany is realized during the experience is not trustworthy revelation that should be a guide for your life.

It probably takes a lot more than just a meatbag ingesting a psychedelic to get something ''great'' out of it... But I bet you if it doesn't (with high enough doses) make you question enough things to make possible for groundbreaking thoughts. It's a step at least.

@jtravis282 Of course it's not to realistic to believe the Machine Elves etc. truly exist outside your mind.
But neither old myths, astrology, the psychedelic experience, or even philosophy and psychology to a large degree...needs to be 'real'.
Just because they most likely are fictional or simply not based on hard and fast fact, doesn't mean they can't teach you anything, can't make you think in new ways.
