Terence McKenna's Story Time (Part 1)

[ParadoxEternal]

There is no demiurge. Thought (immaterial) is the almighty force behind everything (creation/spirits/matter). Dualism is the reality.

[hopsicle20]

@ajones123ful Oh really? I would suppose you have some better insight for us all then? Psycedelics (psilocybin, dmt, marijuana,) could save this planet from shit brains like your self, and all you can do is go on every one of terrences videos and put up hate... Why don't you share some wisdom u close minded troll. Btw the alex jones channel is THAT ^^^ way

[TheFrenchfry20]

why do these videos always get ruined with anoying music?! Fantastic upload other than that. But please, I agree muchly, no music. :/

[levo75]

I love the music, through this video I found out about OTT.

[paulmcoe]

...that being said, the music ruins what would otherwise be an enjoyable though experiment.

[avedic]

how MANY terrence videos are ruined by shitty new age music? good lord. it's like youtube has created a whole generation of hack video editors. it's like people who make you listen to some song when you call their cellphone. the only think more annoying than listening to someone else's dream that was "soo real man" is being forced to listen to someone's shitty music choice since it's tied to the thing you want to heard. this midi techno makes his speech sound trivial and absurd. it's bad...

[happycombo]

yes the music is absolutely terrible, such a distraction.

[ajones123ful]

what a load of silly manure this man's teachings are.

[paulmcoe]

@ajones123ful whatever, dude. if you dislike terence, you are wasting your time here. peace be with you

[levo75]

@ajones123ful It's a story, get over it.

[ChadwickMichaelWill]

@ajones123ful I understand

[swifi28]

when he said greeks did he mean roman's instead because wernet the greeks fallen by the time of christ?

[DANIELELIAS20]

Why you got hungry with the background music? at least apreciat the video upload. Show some respect

[plmnbvcxz1234567890]

@DANIELELIAS20 its fuckin distracting. It's hard for people who don't have add to understand, it just RUINS the video. Nothing to be thankful for.

[Tethyrin]

Somehow, I always end up coming back to this video.

[Distwisted]

i think this guy is batshit insane..

[Tethyrin]

@Distwisted I am sure he would likewise question your sanity.

[sofuckingdumb]

Ditto...had to stop due to annoying music. Thought I was unique in that, but see many.

[likeOMGitsUNLTD]

anyone know where i can find the original audio?

[newworldshaman82]

@likeOMGitsUNLTD this is an excerpt from a lecture called The Rites of Spring.You can find it along with many other Mckenna lectures on Psychedelic Salon podcast on Itunes.I believe Lorenzo,the host of the show,titled this lecture The Magic of Plants.Its a 4 part lecture,and the whole thing is worth listening to.I hope this helps you out

[likeOMGitsUNLTD]

@newworldshaman82 Wow thank you for that. I appreciate the reply

[cortneydream]

did not watch due to music

[Hegpetz]

Music and fractals do not help clarity, and if anything, move closer to the Christian warning of mistaking idols for the true point. The wisdom being spoken IS aligned with psychedelics and while fractals and Ott (the music) all interact well together, especially while under the influence of a psychedelic - they are not the essence. Let me clarify: A stream of pictures and sound makes a movie, we do not need to add unnecessary white and black film strip edges for it be an effective movie.

[KvalnirFox]

Is the point of this music to make the listener insane trying to pick up words out of all the other unneeded noice?? And it sounded really intresting speech.

[jpa23245]

is he saying jesus christ was a fallen demon? and that the fallen demon was the creation of the universe?... the universe did not begin at 0 B.C... a quantum mechanical half charge? there are alot of holes in this story.. someone clarify.

[phvalue323]

Haha, so genius, the fact that any of his words have been recorded because their so articulate and clear, and that they can and are being heard by thousands of people alone is something like a blessing. By the way this "funny idea" is perhaps one of the most beautiful and amazing I've ever heard.

[WatercolorLoving]

Why is everybody getting all upset that there is music played with his words? Wasn't McKenna an advocate of imagination and creativity? What's wrong with expressing yourself?  This obviously isn't the video for the entry-level McKenna listener. If people don't like it, don't listen to it. Don't waste your time posting a comment.

[gainesban]

@WatercolorLoving sharing your opinion about an evolving community isn't a waste of time. If it's downright rude then yea don't post anything but saying how you feel about the video in a respectful manner is a good thing i think

[WatercolorLoving]

@gainesban Fair enough - but this community contains diverse personality types. Therefore, if people don't like somebody's form of self-expression then that is unfortunate. A level of respect needs to be maintained. There is a difference between constructive criticism and a useless complaint. If this was my video, I would be upset by the fact that the highest rated comment wasn't any sort of approval or encouragement. It's basically just "bitching." That's all. I feel bad for the kid.

[WatercolorLoving]

@gainesban also, perhaps he accidentally edited the sound levels incorrectly? A comment such as "Hey buddy, thanks so much for this video; it's great because of [insert reasons here]. Unfortunately I couldn't hear McKenna over the music, just so you know. Once again, thanks for sharing!" People are so mean to each other outside of this community: why not practice love and acceptance when we have the perfect chance to do so? That said, your comment was very respectful and I appreciate that.

[deniapavao]

That music is glucking terrible.  Get rid of it.

[Tethyrin]

Personally, I think that the music (in this instance) is good. Other videos, though...the music is WAY too loud.

[Liphted]

damn every body is getting on this music band wagon, come on! Who gives a damn, I think enough people have complained about the fucking music.

[xerinx24]

PLEASE RE UPLOAD WITH NO MUSIC.

[99deddog]

sounds like a track form a lousy 80's porno

[99deddog]

Hey! JOHNNY BUNZ. UPLOAD THIS VIDEO AGAIN WITHOUT THE MUSIC...

i wonder if johnnybuz made the music himself while he was stoned out of his mind?

trash music..sounds like a track from an 80's porno

people who hitch their miserable creative wagons to genius are DESPICABLE!

[Hegpetz]

@99deddog Thats a shame the horrible combination of unrelated vocals and music has led you to misunderstand the music I think Terrance might much enjoy Ott's music, and I don't think Ott would make good backing music for a porno, but I agree, they blend about as well as playing killswitch engage at the same time as britney spears.

[Hegpetz]

@Hegpetz also, fuck youtube for not letting me post the link to the actual song sans McKenna. The title is in the video description though, so all that's left is for someone to post a link or title to the talking sans the music. Also sorry for the spam, youtube should nest comments.

[GrapeJuiceFruit]

wow fuck u music

[RigorMortisRabbit]

all life is a quantum mechanical amplification, so somthing as large as a person being born out of thin air, is acually somthing tinier than measurable, highly unlikely but probable non the less, the ultimate in the butterfly affect!

[RigorMortisRabbit]

apply this to whole miltverse theory then u got ur self a full picture my friend xD (as all possible universes being a simulation, n' the outcomes being used to build the next simulation)

[tolstoythegreat]

Am I the only one who thinks the music is at a good volume? Just listen to Terence and stop complaining, we're lucky to have these tapes.

[Thundralight]

Many scientists are now saying there may be as many as 11 demensions. Like Rod Serling of the Twilight Zone use to say it is a demension of not only sight and sound but of mind.

[Vice81]

As my comment earlier I wonder why this vision would take the continuation of roman rule seriously, a more preferable split would be one were the roman rule based on the Alexandrian conquest and Aristotelian hegemony were halted and the northern European emergent civilizations would be the ones that met the Mayans and so-on. A good event to change would be Paul's trip to Damascus,the only way the best of greek could have gone on was through a new culture all together.

[Ohsky4]

who the hell would consider themself a demiurge if there isn´t any seeming way to see if there is a no-demiurge in this infinity of experience.

i mean, god and the demiurge are just ideas that tried to vainly get out of the flow of infinity. Ideas maybe beyond our realm of consciousness that failed, as human beings can fail.

[TheMadameOrixa]

No you didnt put that music in there!!! terrible!

[sunmote]

The vision he's talking about here is very Phil Dickian, if you know anything about Philip K Dick. They were kinda like soul bruthas. Terence was very inspired by his novels, but took such thoughts much further.

[oxiigen]

GrrrrrrrrrRRrrRRrrRRRr, really, that fu#@ing music is disturbing and annoying. :/

[zoso0987]

I love OTT, but I can't focus on what he is saying (really wish I could). Put up another video without the music plz

[chelsearayl]

That music is distracting..... 

[Vice81]

Cool story bro though I would prefer that it was the cetic/norse peoples that took over from the greco/romans and played this out as I consider celtic/norse culture better just looking at how much more they did with so much less.

[dccarino]

Please remove the music....or at least lower the volume. It is very very distracting.

[tolstoythegreat]

i think the music is ok in this video, it's at a good volume. this guy has took the time to upload one of my favourite TM videos. i can't understand the selfishness of the people displaying their anger just because their precious dialogue has sound behind it, get over it and be thankfull that it's here at all.

[warcloud463]

yeah good do without the music

[SidewalkFrequencies]

THIS MUSIC IS SHIT !!!!!!

TAKE IT OFF.

THERE IS NOTHING ENLIGHTENING ABOUT THIS CRAP MUSIC !!!!

[TheVoidist]

please remove the music

[pwgroh]

his his fractal suloton idea sounds a lot like something i saw about alternate dimensions where scientists said that one theory for how they work is that, alternate universes are constantly springing off one another in little bubbles in hyper space due to, like Mckenna said, some type of wave. obviously im not an expert on the subject but its very interesting, im sure someone can explain it better than me

[greenfruitface]

Thank you for posting this, but I agree- please, no music.

[Adhoc91]

again, no music

[pwgroh]

i dont mind the music

[didymus44]

I love Terence Mckenna...NOT the gay, distracting music people put in his videos. STOP DOING IT...your music SUCKS compared to the great TKM!

[TheMarbleZone]

@didymus44 I can see how this song could be distracting (its too loud) but it's not the kind of music you call sucky or gay (given you have any understanding of well composed/engineered electronic music). Sorry but Ott is a wonderful gift to us creatively. The man has contributed some really beautiful music during his career.

[didymus44]

@TheMarbleZone that's fair and I will apologize for saying that your kind of music is 'sucky'. However, when you can barely hear what the video is about (Terence speaking), it's a pain in the ass. It's just frustrating man. It just seems with all of the OVERWHELMING user comments on all of TKM's videos about music being overlaid on them, the uploaders would stop doing. I really don't understand why they do it.

Maybe upload one without music and one with music? Just an idea.

[TheMarbleZone]

@didymus44 Yeah I completely agree, when you find a great Terence interview 10 times out of 10 you watch it to listen to Terence not hear music. I don't know why this trend started but it really needs to go stop. Seems there are a lot of people that feel the same way..

[markst]

The music is extremely irratating! The whole time I was listening to this I was thinking "could someone please turn their shitty house music off!" Are we supposed to dance like fucking robots while we listen to Terence? C'mon people!

[boarderboy5899]

yes PLEASE. stop putting this spastic techno on his videos, if you are going to put music on try some quiet ravi shankar so it doesnt drown out the audio

[0793589606]

too bad about the shitty music

[SpiritsofEinstein]

The multiverse theory is already seems to be more recognized in the science community. And as for the ufo community, one of their biggest ideas is that aliens have been interested in our nuclear technology. There have been some credible people who stepped out and said they've witnessed nuclear bases get shut down just minutes before they were going to test fire weapons. So as science fiction as his vision may seem, it's definitely worth pondering.

[sundarvs108]

the scientific explanation sounds like pliedian

channeling. and now terence channels via

the internet like the digital god he predicted.

[julz35]

the music does my head in...sorry

[ixchaos]

Even if Terence can be proven wrong..this is about the best story I've ever heard...I'm inclined to believe him.

[FeelOfFriction]

Your pathetic.

[Meevinman]

Bravo! simply amazing!

[txuser1]

Has anyone seen Avatar? The plot of Avatar reminds me of this story. I wonder if James Cameron was influenced by some of Terence's ideas.

[guitaoist]

pocahontas?

[meztica]

stop the MUSIC!

[distortedhumans]

He flaps lies more delusion believes sorry dude with your dogma philosophy read the ( Talmud Jmmanuel ) if want to understand & awaken the truth about everything how the false cult religions have destroyed our conscious all u have been told is a LIE.

peace

[ohwell121]

???

[tolstoythegreat]

i think the way you construct a sentance shows that you're incapable of understanding what terence is all about. the last thing he wanted was to start a cult, and i'm not sure how his philosophies could be regarded as being dogmatic seeing as he openly accepted that he sometimes contradicted himself. the fact that this Jmmanuel has got you believing that he holds the "thruth about everything" is the most telling thing. Terence never claimed to know the truth, and denied that anyone could know it

[moretech]

why? why ruin his voice with that kind of music. its completely inappropriate.

[kudgcn43]

Download podcast 'psychedelic salon' for free off itunes.

Mckenna talks are hosted there for free with no Background music.

Enjoy and share it others.

[michaeljustussvcc]

@moretech the music gets on my nerves, some people that post his videos make the music louder than his voice, very annoying.

[Crunkfool2]

Actually to think of it, religion`s are the king, queen, prince and princess of them all (grazy teories). If u can believe them, i guess you can believe anything.

Some of them to me are more philosophy than religion (like buddhism)

[Crunkfool2]

Hardly ever in Mckenna`s video comment`s anybody got anything bad to say about this man. No wonder why, beautiful soul and true visionary. We all have it inside ourself. Take just courage to go looking for it... OUTSIDE of the box. Go for it everybody and come back with your own (grazy) teories (King of them all is religion`s).

[Astraeos13]

Hmm. Thanks for posting this talk, but I agree with the comments about the music - Terence's words are hypermusical as they are.

[RotoPlasmX]

the music is not only totally cheesy and inappropriate, but extremely distracting.

[psybmw]

great music i love OTT

[gary7999]

Excellent videos A+!!

[mumsler]

I wish everyone would stop adding music to his videos.

[collectiveconscify]

me yoo

[NoveltyNetwork]

@mumsler smoke some herb and you shall be greatful. but this video will lack in its number of views do to the music, simply because herb is illegal.

[AmEd656667]

@mumsler i completely agree. the man's words stand alone without the distraction of cheap techno.

[dokaflokajoe]

@mumsler exactly. I want to absorb HIS projected energy...not some new-age auditory entertainment that ultimately distracts ones' focus on the learned subject and is attempting to put ones' left brain into a placebo state of euphoria.

[SixOneCyx]

@mumsler

I agree. It's distracting to me.

[hendrixqwe]

@mumsler yeah no kidding were not trying to be entertained were trying to listen

[vicktrimethylene]

@mumsler DO you not have an very good attention span to just listen to him?

[bulldogvillan]

@mumsler

I was on the same frequency whilst watching Mckenna youtube videos. music isn't required for a "psychedelic feeling" and seems disingenuous.

[momtoo]

Is there a copy of this without music?

[BCzepa]

you are a delusional human being. your dont need to push your mis-information and idiocy onto normal people that otherwise MIGHT become thinking people... I hate your kind. DO NOT CORRUPT MY WORLD.

[Djanti0204]

Stop music in Terence McKenna videos ffs.

[filthysystem]

Bizzarro World !!

Love it Thx for everything Terrence

[Lsdfunk]

Is it wrong to love a man?

XD

<3 Terence!

[GetMeThere1]

Lots of youtube McKenna videos have music. It REALLY confuses me that people feel compelled to blast music over one of the most ARTICULATE and IMAGINATIVE speakers of the last century!

Unlike most speakers, almost EVERY WORD is worth hearing from McKenna--and is necessary to hear in order to fully imbibe what he's saying.

[chubbrubb]

Can you not hear past the background music? I also like how you capitalize EVERY WORD then have the word almost in front of it. Doesnt make sense.

[FeelOfFriction]

@GetMeThere1

They're children.

[vicktrimethylene]

@GetMeThere1 IT's not to loud to not here lol, you must have a terrible ability to concentrate LOL

[Anonymouskmn]

@vicktrimethylene lol

[PsychedelicShamanism]

This man has a huge amount of imagination, which is very important in understanding reality.

It was Einstein who said that imagination if far more important than knowledge.

[tenthousandyearsgoon]

[RDAMAGIC]

Could someone upload this without the annoying music?

thanks in advance.

[obyvatel]

Stop that annoying talking, if you please. I'm trying to listen to the video game music.

[levo75]

I lol'ed at the sarcasm.

The music is from Ott by the way

Ott - Skylon(album)

[quardt10]

the music is nice

[datafork]

uggh the music is so annoying! it's like tryin to pay attention to two different conversations at once.

[Motzhart]

i can take both in at once. whilst smoking and drinking coffee.

[yexofcalifornia]

I've been looking for this for so long, but didn't know what it was called. I found it to-day on accident. : - ]

[vdopower66]

yes the music does not fit pleease remove fuck

[zerophilist]

"Our brother has fallen from his kin. His love's blood now flows with ours. We are entwined, as ions entwining toward their dissolution."

[NateDawg832]

stop with the music

[ComradePepper]

I know that many people have said this before but you've got to stop with the stupid music.

[JiubLink]

Stupid music.

[levo75]

I loved the music >:(

[JiubLink]

It's not bad music, I'd just rather be able to clearly hear his voice. ^^

[jbartz]

#4,983!

[zanussi303]

may Terence Mckennas memory life on in our minds for infinity,never to be forgotten in this mama matrix most mysterious. peace

[mos619]

It's about time someone got this up

[julesart11]

Terence Mckenna was put here to enlighten us all. Great appreciation to this inspirational soul. Many thanx Terence, hope to meet up on the other side.

[iaeruo]

jules..i think its *terence mckenna was put here to tell you that you can enlighten yourself*

[kawuabonga]

Awesome

[alfkontento]

i saw this on futurama

[johnnybunz]

The audio is from a lecture of his called "The Rites of Spring."

[mos619]

The fact that you havn't heard this before coupled with your ignorant comment just demonstrates how little you know about TMK. You either just found out about him and are basing your statement on limited info or you just havn't heard what the man is saying. He didn't hate religion, he understood it.

I'll bet money you're one of those people who thought Robert Anton Wilson was replaced by a CIA android.

[Seedr0]

If you understood him, you would understand he is talking of Christianity that poisoned one of the portions of this time split.

He does NOT say Christianity "saved" one of these portions...

[cohnkrad]

T.Mckenna IS a great icon for humanity, his words has huge meanings and his words will be remembered and looked up by everyone specially now in these times.

Time is near for a HUGE change, be ready and get in contact with your inner self.

FUCK religion and cultures! Care for your family and friends! Make new friends, but never choose sides in conflicts. Help sort it out, we are all in the same boat.

RIP T.Mckenna - Your soul will live FOREVER!

[VlogJunkie]

I agree, If only all of humanity had the wisdom and LOVE that Terence had then we would have a wonderful future! I love listening to his enlightening messages!

[NorthernResistance]

love your nick ;)

[roarintheforest]

NorthernResistance, what a small world!

[steinberqx3]

Excellent job on the Video!!! Terrence poses an amazing idea..I cant wait for 2012

[Casio181]

I think he's with us more than ever! ;) tnx for the vid. Amazing one!

[koscheii666]

Listening to Terence always cheers me up.... = )

[Lifesucksdie123]

well done!

[lashdown]

cool

[EclecticEgg]

Terrence a mind of minds, apart from the dope he used to smokes, a wise man was he. R.I.P, You enlightened creation.

[Dimethyltryptamined]

It's not dope, it's spiritual exploring matter (:

[Zabek2006]

lol does it take to have a nick like yours to make this statement ? :D

[xiz22]

Roflcopter.

[theduderinok]

I love this vid :)great job! btw it's Terence. (one 'r')
