yeah... i used to be a christian...but fuck it. im going to start awakening my mind and shedding my operating system through an interaction of symbiosis of relationship with local plants
i think he's right about all of it except about culture. durkheim would argue that religion is society and i'd say that culture is in essence religious. i'm only for anarchy when corruption has seeded all facets of our cultural institutions; but, i don't believe that one can throw off one's own skin without in a sense (or literally for that matter) dying of exposure to the ironically decadent nature of existence as it is. people just need cultural AUTONOMY. that's it. no war. no inequality.peace
This guy is telling what people to think, think for yourselves, this man is no different than what he is "preaching" vs culutre, this group, is culture, they have put this man on their shoulders. This man is a wolf in sheeps clothing, a con man, the people in the crowd are simply sheep, do not listen to this man listen to the herd mentality. One man says woot, then others follow by going woot. monkey see monkey do. Do not give into this mans fear, nothing will happen on 2012.
@techfate lol what? I don't have to put terence on my shoulders to agree with what he's saying. and I agree that nothing will happen on 2012. it doesn't change what he's talking about in this video.
mikeismadasfuck lol, lets a, drop out,smoke cannabis and create bad art!! no nurses,firemen,equipment and tools to perform lifes most basic of functions,sounds great!!?? if u think getting a job is conforming then drop out of society completely and don't use it in any way! youl soon br begging to be let back in! fk idiotuc hippy idealistic he,!
@sejlali1 gee you are wrong. try going to a doctor whose sole priority is making money. you'll be bankrupt before you know it! anyway, he's not talking those people. he's talking about corporations and greed (which sadly medicine has become)
all the shit this guy insisted is "culture" isn't culture at all. i agree with a lot of it, but some of the shit he says can be dangerous if misunderstood.
psychedelics... sounds like fun to me : ) and where would one get their hands on such candy? Almost anything that helps aid in understanding life is a friend.
@niamh2739 Yeah no, I won't kick your teeth in, I just stand back and smoke weed lol. Btw I am sick of seeing dumb presidents vote me for present and I'll give hella weed to everyone and other drugs and trade my artwork for more drugs! Fuck yeah! I'm so down with the new paradime bag!
Culture in itself is not the problem, but our current established culture is highly detrimental.I believe culture is an integral part of any successful society, and that with logical beliefs and values, a culture can promote the well-being and unification of people. It's like saying that "heat" is the problem when a room is too cold, when in reality, it's the lack of adequate heating that makes the room unbearable. Culture is not the problem; it is the lack of adequate culture that is.
@7TriangleofTrinity7 "Culture is an integral part of any successful society" first of all you can't have a culture without a society because culture is the collective experience of the society. He obviously doesnt mean culture itself is a problem, becuase how can having a collective experience be bad. Culture is a problem like thought is a problem, it is nessecary but it creates abstraction from direct experience. So like thought, you have to first decondition from it to see it for what it is :)
I hate to say that he's right. Most people I meet are looking for a material solution to a spiritual problem. It seems like we are becoming a species defined by our addictions. I have also seen first hand the damage done by one sick mind that gets political power.
Proof cannot be "proven" unless one ingests atleast 3.5 grams of potent psilocybin mushrooms.on an empty stomach with perfect set and setting. You only know the TRUTH because the ones whos had this experience(myself being one) know it by feeling the direct experience of God/the Goddess/ The mushroom spirit/ The feeling to die and be reborn while being consciouss..etc. My mushroom trips ALWAYS revolve around JESUS CHRIST. I am convinced the Christain religion is based on this holy experience.
PLEASE HELP ME!!! my only question is when we die do we fly, because I have no friends and no hope. just give me an answer so I can move on with my life
WOW in a long winded breath he explained that humans obsess over material things, and surround themselves in pseudo creature comforts and ideologies. He figured out that even though humans have evolved they still have primeval needs -- Give this man a fucking Nobel prize!
It's an important point.. especially today, as society is more materialistic and 'ape-like' than it's ever been. I think it's something that's worth repeating OVER and OVER again so we never forget.
And he didn't just 'figure it out'. I'm not sure why you're knocking Terence McKenna; he's on YOUR side.. he's done more for us a species than a lot of people have.
I was watching a video of Terrence walking through a valley of south africa when my lights flickered several times. Hasn't happened before, hasn't happened since. Maybe he was floatin around somewhere in the Logos and decided to pop into my room to watch me creepin on his previous life
I wish the people in his audience showed a bit more respect... I honestly think he was probably as annoyed with it as I am, but Terence seems like the type of guy that is too nice to say anything about it - I'd probably say, "Hey, I appreciate your agreeing with me, but can you please let me finish before you express it?"
I feel grumpy so I'll say it: i don't like that guy screeming after every statement of Terence McKenna.. Wish I could listen to his lecture without that.
I know what you mean. The hooting and shouting gets annoying in many of his lectures, but that's the college crowd.
I think a lot of them miss the point entirely, and attend his lectures because they think psychedelics are 'hip' and it's 'cool' to get stoned or w/e
It's ironic, because the underlying message Terence tries to get through in all of his work is that we have to stop acting like apes; we have to transcend. And yet here's this guy hooting and yelling...
My thoughts on two major topics here. Making art from your soul is as pure as it comes. Art can be anything creative no matter how mathematical it may be. Steve jobs was an artist ( even though Jacque fresco had a lot of the same ideas 20 years earlier) and he changed the world. So art and ideas are very important in helping us move forward. All these modern gadgets you use where at one point or the other on someones sketch pad, art. Art is everything if you really think about it. It is the pla
I watch this video, watch and listen to him speak in thoughtful, meditative silence. These drunken buffoons in the crowd cheer and laugh as he speaks as if they were watching a fucking stand-up routine.
@zallouz I understand that. I just feel people need to condition themselves into a mature state of being is all. Most people, anyway. But we know this ;-)
@zallouz I agree - the more I listen to McKenna the more fascinated I am by what he has to say...but at the same time the hooting and whooping take away from the message, and I know McKenna wasn't going for a party animal thing, but I can understand why others would get taken aback by the reactions.
@slangshotstudios Terence promoted people to smoke doobies and eat mushrooms before and during his lectures. Top open their minds to his way of thinking, our way of thinking the mindset of the psychonaut
mckenna was good at saying what least informed people wanted to hear.
But the message here is not about trascendence, is about fighting a worthless war to be fight: to fight to stay the same, to defend yourself from reality. Instead of digesting reality to grow up beyond it.
I don't believe in or follow culture, this is why I go on the internet and watch videos of Terence McKenna talking about stuff and leave comments about things.
Without toiling in the mud, we would not be where we are today. But we have the dexterity to evolve into a pure, benevolent, but also productive society. We have the technology, and we have the right philosophy already drawn out and thought out, but like Mckenna said, our cultural creeds jump in the way. The day human beings release their egos is the day we see a thriving world.
culture is not your friend. that's why I sell books and live in a hut and poop in hole in my back yard..... Terence McKenna, Ultimate Hustler. Give him your money, he needs it more than you do, so does the rainbow kid selling drugs.
@howeuth Cynicism can make you blind to the truth, just as much as it can make you see it. It doesn't make you clever, intelligent or happy. Be skeptical of your own thoughts, just as much of others.
@cool2t "ART? as in drawing things!" I hope that is a joke. If you actually equate ART with drawings... Like the only ART that has been POPULAR in the last 20 Centuries have all been drawings or paintings... I suspect that either you need to sober up or start praying really hard to whatever God you believe is up there, because it's gonna be rough for you if shit gets any wierder in the US.
I love mckenna's message as much as the next guy but I think his answer of how do we fight back - "by creating art", is a bit lame. I mean, what difference is doing a few paintings or whatever going to make in the face of multibillion dollar corporations and governments who own the fucking planet and the minds of most of the people on it?
I think a more practical thing to do is to spread mckennas videos around to everyone you know, or dump acid in the city water supply or something.
GOD I love this talk...I still remember finding it in some forum and feeling like it was a strange object from outerspace...pretty much what he says the self-transforming fabrege eggs would be like if he did ever bring them back from "the dome".....I guess he really did do it after all
In reality this man don't know what the truth is, as he rambles on & on. How does he think he's gonna get the food for his belly, as he tries to give us food for thought? If you think it through for yourself my friends, you may discover he's full of shit. He's got diarrhea of the mouth, as he says nothing at all - but he did make Jesus laugh!
@Jesus2point3 Now, he doesnt have the answer but he's saying a lot...and the fact you claim he doesnt just means it went over your head. Better to ask, do YOU have the answer? Terence never claimed to have it. Please don't say Jesus...if Jesus were the answer we wouldnt have the last 2000 years of history, history would've ended 2000 years ago. More important than whether Jesus or Terence have the answer is...are you waiting for them to give it to you, or are you looking for it on your own?
@conceitarturo Of course the man is saying a lot. That's what I was saying. In reality I know my reason for being, & the truth is that I'm a muslim guy, who has tested as a mastermind. Now, what's the question that's on your mind?
At this moment in space & time, I'd be glad to help you out, & answer any questions you may have. If you want to cope with reality, you've gotta' stop imagining a lie, & accept the truth for what it is. Take responsibility for all that you think & everything you do.
I do appreciate what McKenna is saying here, but I think what he's really preaching is a hyper-individualism where we all function as these 100% bespoke 'authentic selves' directed only by our own instinct and taste. But how feasible is that really? You could even classify McKenna as beloning to part of a sub-culture - college dropout/Califnornia hippy/psy-trancer.
And there's nothing wrong with being a member of those sub-groups. It's fine to be informed by culture because it isnt this over-arching thing which hovers above us - it's something we all contribute to whether we know it or not. Culture only becomes problematic when you forget to add to it, and just take from it instead.
@LucifersArgument whoa whoa whoa....Demiurge?....are you trying to compliment him and really missing the mark...or am I just really missing what you're saying?...cause from my frame of reference I pretty much couldn't imagine a worse insult than that...c.c..specially in a gnostic world-view.
@conceitarturo No. LOL. I respect this man highly. He is awakened to how the world really is. He is aware of the working of the demiurge in the material world. We are being of infinite consciousness imprisoned in an enslavement cycle in this material realm.
@RandyEBlack PLEASE HELP ME!!! I once posted on TerenceMcKennaTube's youtube comments what happens when we die and he replied "You're still ignorant...so there may be hope for you, but that ain't my problem because you're blocked." Me taking another drug(whether it be weed of shrooms) will depend on the next answer you give me, is life just one scene in an never ending movie, or do I just keep on the same script, and relive it over and over again?
Vote Ron Paul 2012 to end the FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS' 40 YEAR LONG UNSUCCESSFUL WAR on the people's freedom of choice to consume substances (The end of the War on Drugs).
Ron Paul to BRING HOME the troops.
Ron Paul to audit the fed. Ron Paul to end the "Patriot" Act. Ron Paul to end the private bankers' "Federal" Reserve and the power for them to print our currency (UNCONSTITUTIONAL).
Ron Paul to end warantless spying on American citizens, like you and I
"Man was not put on this planet to toil in the mud."
I wonder if he thinks of that when he goes to the grocery store and buys food that farmers toiled in the mud to produce for his consumption. And, if he thinks that grocers and farmers are "standing on his shoulders," then perhaps he should produce his own food. Or deliver his own packages instead of using UPS.
Freedom and capitalism work. They're the only things that have EVER worked. (No, we don't have true free market capitalism now).
@BRYAN351 In my opinion he is using that term as a metaphor to describe not the actual process of toiling in the mud as a farmer would but one who is force fed bullshit and acts out of cultural programming that enslaves and dehumanizes, behaviour that is lacking intelligence and creativity. I have to disagree with using the word Freedom in conjunction capitalism - it is capitalism which creates greed, dominator hierarchies stupidity and attachments which are most definitely opposed to freedom.
@Ohsky4 So what you are saying is that no matter what the paradigm (capitalism nomadism etc) imposing one over the other is a type of slavery because perhaps it limits an individuals freedom to choose what is right for him?
there´s plausible slavery, and that is in wich you enslave yourself willingly to create a community of so called similars. But, if you wanna explore beyond, communities are only plummets.
@Ohsky4 ok but we need community - it is part of who we are. Everyone needs some sense of belongingness to a group or community - i think the most important thing is respecting each individual realising that to some extent we are each affected and influenced by one another, while at the same time endeavouring to find our own individuality and sense of what's right for us, whilst still maintaining a meaningful connection to whatever community group you choose to be part of.
@CalumnMcAulay what "you" need, is not what "we" need. You feed an illusion. Though you want to share what you think is good as a viral meme, it´s only good as far as others are willingly seeing themselves the main idea as something productive for their own individual paths.
I personally think that ascension is about leaving the need to be part of a community while interacting with others without the need of them to be your own reflection of right or wrong.
@CalumnMcAulay what ascension of consciousness is, is about the realization you belong to everything that is, not just to a community. That´s your growth, that´s what you are beyond your own limited present human understanding, have faith in what you are, have faith in your own nature, because it´s smarter than you think you are.
@CalumnMcAulay PLEASE HELP!!! I asked some dude on youtube, what happens when you die and he sayed "Life is indeed a scene in an infinite movie, and we are given a script with repeating themes, however it is our duty as conscious beings to transcend our scripts in order to break the cycle and 'become." well if you think about it we can have a singularity on technology.so isnt fear good for that purpose? maybe thats why the government wants to keep us all sober?
@BRYAN351 But we can grow food in other ways. Machines are a big help in this. We have technological abundance, but the elitists and globalists who have gained control will not let go of their power so easily. They must maintain the status quo (for them). They will not allow the people to become independent. Alternative energy technology has been killed by big oil companies. All they want is a profit. I do not believe in capitalism, as it creates waste, nonsensical methods and crappy products.
@BRYAN351 farmers existed long before capitalism, in fact capitalism is the biggest factor in the decline of farming in the western world. And with the worlds economy on the brink of disaster to say capitalism works is willfully naive.
He just has an overly high estimation of humanity. We are greedy. We could make a paradise, except that you can't make everyone happy. People will want more for themselves at the expense of others. We are still little more than animals. To get where we are nasty tendencies were necessary for us to survive. Culture is also at it's core simply a innate instinct from groups to function better and to reject others. None of this will ever change. It's a nice goal though. We could improve.
drugs in moderation like everything in life can be done safley ,its the abuse of drugs and black markets that are the problem as they get used to stir up fear and propaganda
@DeadJesus100 humans can't be a virus to the earth, because the earth isn't alive. It's a conglomeration of elements. The organisms living on earth, including humans, are what's alive. Take away all life on earth, and the earth is irrelevant.
@BRYAN351 How do you know that the Earth is no conscious in an Earthy kind of way? The trillions of individual atoms that make up who you are aren't "alive" either, are they? Yet there you are making blind assumptions.
culture is a form of self evolution with out any form of culture humans as a race would not be as impressive, art is the first form of documented culture from cave paintings and carveings. Do not misinterpret culture as being corrupt as it is wavering upon nowadays, it has been around a very long time and is what makes use human as a whole...
I heard of her, she was retarded. I could care less. 10 raw potatoes can be toxic as well. it requires 20lbs of marijuana dropped from 20ft to kill a lab rat; the only known way to kill a lab rat with marijuana. I never said these substances caused a death by direct use. You are failing to understand simply what i am stating, im not even contradicting you... i agree with you. I was stating that the only harm these two substance cause is to unevolved ideologies...
So true, i always say this. The fact is that there are more idiots than geniuses and creeps than gentleman so it is more likely that your doctor, the police, judge, military, politicians will be douchebag morons.
@kristofor12345 your comment is the perfect example of cultural programming. You won't accept the fact based on a similarity to a political ideology that you are predisposed to dislike.
Nothing that is man-made is natural. So in essence it isn't "real" and cannot be referenced when debating these truths.
This guy is my fuckin' hero. He completely changed my philosophy in positive ways! I can't even describe how much I look up to him. I wonder what he'd be doing if he were alive today
The solution is to make art? *Wrong.* The solution is to accept rationality and empiricism as the only guiding epistemology and to utilize that to destroy culture. Making art is just attempting to supplant the current culture for another one you like better. Instead, choose philosophy. Universality. Ethics. Your art can reflect that, but 'just making art' is not a solution to anything. Making art reflect reality as it ought to be is real art.
@OUexclusive Great answer.... However, you mentioned ethics... and ethics for me it´s a highway to God... so God once and again becomes the center of philosphycal and universal discussion... just my opinion, no need for controversy... Good luck...
@OUexclusive Certainly it can be directed towards your worthy end goals (destroying culture), but art can also be applied indirectly as a means to reveal one's nature. Calling such art 'not real' is erroneous IMO considering the nature of a man/woman expressed artistically has lead to philosophic and even scientific ideas & solutions you and I embrace. Such that these ideas can lead to actions that are verifiable, but I still prefer science as a means of self-discovery for there is empiricism
@popstone1 according to you, promoting individuality and creativity in turn promotes drug abuse? you are probably one of those ignorant fucks that would rather drool over who will be the next american idol then ask the questions your little mind finds too daunting.
Truth! Only he has a very weird definition of »culture«. Art (the way to fight back) would be a very significant part of culture. What he means is »western civilization«, not »culture«.
Answer: It denies the truth of salvation through Christ which means that a person decides to either trust in Christ or else he/she rejects Christ and goes to hell (John 3:16;3:36).
"We have the money, the know-how, and the love to create a paradise." This I disagree with. It sounds like communism, which is built on the illusion that distribution of money = distribution of happiness. What he said later was very true though, it will only be through creativity and artistic exploration that we will truly conform in a good way
@kristofor12345 no my friend, he means that in order for us to live as one, the western world must share its vast material wealth with the undeveloped world, so that instead of one country being put on an unfair economic pedestal, we can have an even playing field for all of God's children. We are more then capable of making sacrifices when it comes to our manufactured luxuries, instead of allowing them to collect dust in walmart, they should be used by anyone in need, regardless of currency
@DemortusOcarina I want to agree with that, but we pour tons of money into countries like Haiti and nothing changes. Material goods aren't the path to happiness, and they certainly don't make good societies. Allowing people to be freed from mental oppression and allowing them to explore the world and achieve their own enlightenment is what makes a culture of happy, well-learned people. I don't claim to have the means to do that, but it definitely is not through material gifts.
@kristofor12345 Totally right man, when we keep giving aid to these countries we think on the surface that we are doing something good but in reality we are feeding a vicious circle of poverty, disease and unhappiness the only way to fix these complex problems is with wide complex solutions. The money that we give only holds these people back. when in reality we should give them something to trade so that both sides can benefit instead of always feeding a cycle of accepting handouts and poverty
i was getting interested in mckenna, but putting videos out like this where young teenagerscan be persuaded to try these chemicals is a bad idea. and it ought to be illegal.
@originaltbyrd While you're at it, we might as well start burning some books that discuss & promote these concepts. But first things first, lets start with the institutional purveyors of evil reaching the largest audience such as the mainstream media which glorifys underage drinking, smoking, violence, rape, and so on. Let's start with the behemoths doing the real harm rather than focus on the fringe minority which reaches a teeny tiny section of society.
@popstone1 does it not occur to you that we are not responsible for your children?? its not our fault if your kid uses drugs. its theirs and ultimately yours. we are providing information to those that don't conform to bullshit and/or lies. we are not putting the drugs in their hand and a gun to their head... relax.
@fourtwozerofab i just noticed how backwards you're comment is. Do you or do you not agree with TM? If you do then your response should be along the lines of "these 'drugs' are natural and not harmful to anyone" rather than the one you made. Of course it isn't one person's fault that they use cocaine/heroine etc. because the physical ingestion is only one part of the process.
@fourtwozerofab Possibly. But i have heard popstone1's complaint often and it's rebuttal is usually the same one. I think it is very ignorant to group all 'drugs' under one umbrella, and i feel that is what popstone1 is doing. However, when you respond in such manner you lead them to believe that they are right in doing so, and that these psychedelics are harmful but our community does them despite that danger. The fact is these drugs are not harmful at all, and that should be our main concern.
@okthisisboring all drugs are harmful in some aspect. Some are less harmful than others and I will agree psychedelics and marijuana are among the least harmful substances known to man. However that being said, these two substances have the ability to change ideologies, and to a certain point that is harmful, mostly in a positive way through your and my eyes; but to the culture that opposes drug use, in general, all drugs are bad.
@fourtwozerofab Have you heard of Jennifer Strange? This woman was participating in a radio contest for a nintendo wii. It was called "hold your wee for a wii" and the objective was to continuously drink water while holding it in rather than excreting by obvious means. She died from what is known as water intoxication. A swelling of the brain. No one has ever died from cannabis, EVER. It's crazy how that makes water more dangerous, when it's a well-known fact that our bodies are made up of it.
@fourtwozerofab Also there are no recorded deaths for psilocybin. there is an urban legend where this guy used over 3 oz and died but i would say that's overdoing it. Then again, a 3 oz joint wouldn't kill you. My point is that these substances, mainly cannabis, are not physically harmful and should not be feared/hated in the sense that cocaine/heroine are, because those drugs are man-made. They have no biological purpose. Mainstream science doesn't teach the benefits of natural drugs.
It is also important to remember that drugs are not for everyone. one man's evening glass of wine could be another's rage-fueled binge, and what would be an enlightening trip for one person could be a trigger for schizophrenia for another.
this guy is not a genius one day i took a big hit of crack, held in fully, blew it out and then he appeared as a genie and tried to steal my crack. no surprise i quickly smacked the bitch and took my crack back and continued inhaling crack for the next 6 hours.
If anyone in the future is ever going to bring the world together, create peace in the middle east, and bring unity for humanity, its not going to be a politician, or a preacher, or a scientist....but an artist. Thats for sure.
The socio-economic modality of world capitalism is the denial and distortion of our common humanity in cooperation for our common needs and well being. Capitalism is the class monopoly of means of life in a monetary web of exploitation and destruction for the criminal ruing elite. The CULTURE OF CAPITALISM is the superstructure of the the ideological hold of the working class . Terence Mc Kenna is to the point here , we need to unmask this cancerous imposition.

He obviously doesnt mean culture itself is a problem, becuase how can having a collective experience be bad. Culture is a problem like thought is a problem, it is nessecary but it creates abstraction from direct experience. So like thought, you have to first decondition from it to see it for what it is :)

Proof cannot be "proven" unless one ingests atleast 3.5 grams of potent psilocybin mushrooms.on an empty stomach with perfect set and setting. You only know the TRUTH because the ones whos had this experience(myself being one) know it by feeling the direct experience of God/the Goddess/ The mushroom spirit/ The feeling to die and be reborn while being consciouss..etc. My mushroom trips ALWAYS revolve around JESUS CHRIST. I am convinced the Christain religion is based on this holy experience.

The solution is to make art? *Wrong.* The solution is to accept rationality and empiricism as the only guiding epistemology and to utilize that to destroy culture. Making art is just attempting to supplant the current culture for another one you like better. Instead, choose philosophy. Universality. Ethics. Your art can reflect that, but 'just making art' is not a solution to anything. Making art reflect reality as it ought to be is real art.

@okthisisboring all drugs are harmful in some aspect. Some are less harmful than others and I will agree psychedelics and marijuana are among the least harmful substances known to man.

It is also important to remember that drugs are not for everyone. one man's evening glass of wine could be another's rage-fueled binge, and what would be an enlightening trip for one person could be a trigger for schizophrenia for another.

this guy is not a genius one day i took a big hit of crack, held in fully, blew it out and then he appeared as a genie and tried to steal my crack. no surprise i quickly smacked the bitch and took my crack back and continued inhaling crack for the next 6 hours.

If anyone in the future is ever going to bring the world together, create peace in the middle east, and bring unity for humanity, its not going to be a politician, or a preacher, or a scientist....but an artist. Thats for sure.

People understand that CREATING ART =/= CONSUMING CULTURE

The socio-economic modality of world capitalism is the denial and distortion of our common humanity in cooperation for our common needs and well being. Capitalism is the class monopoly of means of life in a monetary web of exploitation and destruction for the criminal ruing elite. The CULTURE OF CAPITALISM is the superstructure of the the ideological hold of the working class . Terence Mc Kenna is to the point here , we need to unmask this cancerous imposition.
