  • Yo this is key point as fuck, don't listen to music and get stoned and let the music of your body do it for you ;) Womp womp stone and dance lol

  • Comment removed

  • @nickthegrizzly2, focus on doing kindness for others. Be resolved to be selfless, to muster enough boldness to seek out the poor, the disabled, the elderly, the lonely. Offer some genuine time. You are here to help, not dwell on yourself, which leads to emptiness. Friend me on Facebook, Rebecca Kaminski (rebouel)

  • LMAO the picture

  • Dude, this looks so weird...!!

  • Money is not the root of all evil, evil is the root of all money.

  • @semajsmadda1 Totally agree. If people would look into it, they would see where still in a long cycle of darkness, and the ancients knew this was coming, cycles man. Money is the ultimate means to objectify mother nature, and turn it into a comodity to be bought or sold. As augustus once said- even this to shall pass. All things are transitory in nature, and its only the underlying principle that are eternal. Peace!:)

  • this animation is super fucking creepy

  • thought for the day, folks: if mckenna is the timothy leary of dmt, who will be it's charles manson?

  • @popstone1 Ronald Mcdonald?

  • @popstone1 Your mom.

  • @popstone1 Your mom.

  • In Zimbabwe, there is so much inflation that using money as toilet paper is actually cheaper then buying toilet paper with the same amount of money.

    Only occasion of money having use or value, as far as I can see...

  • This video should be called "Raped by the Uncanny Valley"

  • i think this video is awesome! very cool graphics, plus its terence mckenna. beauty.

  • ...zoginated

  • Well, it's a idea : )

  • oh god this vid is creepy as fuck

  • I't seems plausible but the CG is laimb. Well, no it's creeping me out.

  • "life without music would be a mistake" nietzsche

  • I love Terence but this video creeps me out the way it's done.

  • mmmm jesus. really? still?

  • ...

  • DID NOBODY ELSE NOTICE THAT THAT PICTURE WAS TALKING?!?!?

  • grow your own food, shop at farmers markets and have an intimate relationship with where your food comes from and the people who make/grow it, buying things from sites like etsy.com gives money directly to people who make their own art/clothes/jewelry/furniture etc..... no one needs walmart, sears, rooms-to-go, winn-dixie, etc. if you want it bad enough, you can find solutions to ALL problems. we don't have to empower the money machine

  • Om

  • What was he saying about Beethoven?

  • @irockwithbillgates Beethoven essentially said the music he had written was only a splinter of the much deeper music of innerspace he was experiencing/knowing.

  • @n4979338 Do you perhaps by any chance know an article where I read more about this?

  • Wow Terence McKenna is a true polymath!

  • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11...

    Sequence of harmonic ratios present in the overtones. Amazingly simple pattern.

  • This is the 21st century version of Clutch Cargo.

    Free from conditioning into resonant creativity liberation!

  • tonal driving of the psychedelic experiece is what Jimi H was into. His life was cut short, as with Terence M. We need true artists to drive what is popular, not corporate douche bags with their Justin Bieber $ shit lolly pops. We got all the candy we could want, but its all locked up, and they are selling us shit instead of gold and we are eating it up like crazy. We wear no clothes and the King has on robes of invisible gold.

  • Check out NatureLovesCourage - Çatal Hüyük - available for the 1st time on CD Baby, ITunes, Amazon and more -- This music was magically listened to and endorsed by Terence prior to his departure from this Earth.  You will not be disappointed. Peace. Aloha.

  • The Illuminati-ruled music industry is a complete joke. We don't need any of their shit, and they can go FUCK THEMSELVES.

    Thank you, Terence, for your wise words.

  • I love your animated caricature and what McKenna has to say in this short excerpt is whip ass information on a great perspective from which one may stand on the matter of music in my opinion.

  • Removing money from the system does not require another just as corruptable form of exchange such as bartering. The whole CONCEPT of placing a value upon a resource is inherently one of the general causes of poverty and slavery. We have the technology to live in a resource based society where resources are unlimited. If big corporations didn't have vested interests in keeping oil pumping, we'd have electric cars and magnetic guidance equipment on roads. Search The Venus Project.

  • AM I TRIPPING??????????

  • watcching this on acid....WOW!!1!!!!! cooool

  • reminds me of michael jackson somehow. mckenna's the man

  • What exactly is he saying here? Is there anywhere else where he elaborates on this?

  • I think what he is saying is that listening to music made by others can obstruct the way to make(listen to) your own kind of music..

  • I didn't hear any of that clip. I was too busy looking at the freakishly scary visuals and vomitting.

  • i cant handle this

  • check out Squarepusher, an artist way ahead of his time.

  • photek,optical,icicle,commix

  • true

  • pretty creepy

  • my interior music is feeling pretty good right now :)

  • we are all god through mind, body, spirit and soul my friend. On a universal level we all share the same principles....they say the greatest thing the devil did was to make the world believe he didnt exist, the truth is vice versa....take a look at iChing and develop your conscience from that...good day.

  • if Satan was real and also the angel of music and art, that just confirms my position of hating Christianity even harder, because if they can equate creativity to the ultimate evil, then they are my enemy.

  • amen

  • lol satan is the angel of music and art? haha! bullshit.

  • I've hardly done any psychedelics compared to people like Terrence mckenna, but even after the comparatively small amount I've experimented with i understand that they are something to be used with great respect.

    and great music can be made with the aid of psychedelics but its not necessary I agree.for you who believes satan is the angel of music and art, if you can make better music without an outside influence like psychedelics, wouldn't that mean that your closer to satan naturally?

  • Good point!

  • But music isn't a bad thing to begin with? Why would anyone think that satan is the angel of music in the first place????

  • fundamentalist ignorance and fear, its that simple.

    but I live in north carolina, and I've known people around here that think along those lines, and MAN are they some dull individuals.

  • But why? Some people are just nut cases.

  • I was born in NC, but luckily my parents were born much further north. Because of that, they made sure I was not influenced by "hick culture" as one might call it, or by anti-semitists in the area (which was Raleigh, so there weren't many). And fortunately I never developed a souther accent hahaha.

  • well there's nothing wrong with a southern accent. An intelligent person is an intelligent person no matter which way you cut it. Some may see accents as a sign of being uneducated but really its just how you are raised.

  • Born and raised in alabama, im viewing a terrence mckenna video so obviously i dont fall under the stereotype, the ignorant and narrowminded are in all regions, but theres definately alot here

  • well satan probably is the angel of modern music from the mainstream record labels. all designed to manipulate the masses to only care about extremely square and solid mindsets. waht i mean is that its all about gettin drunk havin sex and listening to shitty music cause goodlooking people play it.

  • well i play the piano, and i don't really listen to all of the new shit, most of it is just crap now. I listen to oldies mostly, some stuff is ok today though.

  • Ya I agree mostly. Unfortunately I feel that satan comes in many forms and modern mainstream record producers are just one of them. Lots of f'd up stuff going on and it all has to do with money. Money money money, fuck everything just get the paper. People say money is the root of all evil, but if we look even further we can understand that money is a symbol of our own greed and that we are the root of our own evil. We fuck ourselves.

  • Its crazy, while I was tripping I came to the realization of how the value of money is an illusion becuase whether you have it or not somebody can still say its worthless now. Who the fuck is in control of the value of money? The poeple are in control they just don't know their giving away their power. Its mind control. Look at all the symbolism on the back of a dollar bill.

  • Thats an interesting way of looking at it. Unfortunately the federal reserve is responsible for controlling the value of our currency, and the federal reserve is not federal at all. Its owned by private bankers and the government pays interest to have currency made. Thats the real reason why kennedy got shot, because he tried to make his own money aka federal money.

  • @monkeyjoe9 Welcome to ninth grade economics

  • @fleebenworth Your telling me that understanding that the symbols on money, and on all major corporations, having a stonger effect on your psyche than people realize is ninth grade economics. I remember them teaching me what society teaches me, worship money or die. Becuase really, you can't even get a bare necessity like water without it, if thats not some evil coveting of gods country, then I don't know what is.

  • @monkeyjoe9 Oh no doubt bro, greed is a terrible thing. All I'm saying is that it doesnt really take a trip to realize that cash only has value because we all agree on it. I really don't see the point though, money has been a great innovation. Would you rather go back a barter economy? I think there are much more insidious cases of mass indoctrination than the belief in the value of currency...

  • @fleebenworth First, I was 17 when I first came to that revalation, 25 now, and really, I think we need to be even go beyond bartering. I just want to try and think of a new way, becuase the old way isn't working. for example, everyone should be trying to stop this oil leak, fuck whats in the budget, stop the damn thing. its killing the only ocean we have.

  • @monkeyjoe9 The oil leak is just a symtpom of a larger problem. Changing the way we do business won't change THE business. The problem is that our society is one that has unsustainable values and goals that lie everywhere but inside. We value increased production but not the product. Getting rid of money will not change this.

  • @fleebenworth actually money has leaked so much venom that bartering looks like the way of a better future, along with no personal vehicles. and in monkey's defense i'd just like to add that where getting trapped up in words again, what he felt about that realization could be more profound and crystalclear than we allow ourselves to perceive grounded. its happened to me where things get scary real on a psychadelic and then later the feelings gone..we can't expect him to put these things in words

  • @Adhoc91 A loss of individual vehicles would be a loss of individual freedom. Your going down a dangerous road pushing agendas like that. Yes transportation needs to be changed, it is currently unsustainable. I believe it is entirely possible for every individual to have his own vehicle that causes no pollution and waisted no resources and could go wherever the individual wanted it to go. If you just want huge systems of public trans you will be further entrapped by the system that is in control

  • @dourcynicbass im not pushing anything, just "thinking out loud." your right though, not having a vehicle could be a problem.. but the road rules and routes need to be changed.. i would settle for a horse though haha seriously.

  • @Adhoc91 Right on, ha I would settle for that too. Look into hemp oil cars, I've heard of some pretty big cover ups there. It could all just be conspiracy theory craziness, but from what I've heard they could have one of the most eco friendly cars ever if they were allowed to make it. I understand the whole thinking out loud thing, an it seems to be a common thought when going down this road because you start thinking "we're all one" and "we're killing the world" and a solution could be to do ev

  • @dourcynicbass erything together, but that can to a much easier controlled populous. I think that the greatness of the universal mind is how many individuals it is made up of, I believe whats hurting it now is too much group think. too many are controlled by too few. But the system needs to change so that it is not environmentally damaging to do things as an individual. I sometimes think that the powers that be have purposely set it up like this so that we would feel guilty being individuals

  • @monkeyjoe9 Who the fuck is in control of the value of money? The same people who make mushrooms illegal. And why are mushrooms illegal? Well, you already answered that question. "Like a carousel, it goes up, down, and around..."

  • @monkeyjoe9 right on. people have given their control over most aspects of life (like Terence says) to the least among us. sadly, they don't even realize it & will argue against that point, ad infinitum.

  • @monkeyjoe9 you had to be tripping to realise that?

  • @splittersgit haha that was my thought. thats ok though, any good new knowledge is a step up from the past.

  • @monkeyjoe9 i went mmm like 8 times after reading that

  • @monkeyjoe9 Yea true, but we're so dependent on the system we can do nothing to change it. Tomorrow we will all go buy food from a store just like everyone else. With money.

  • @rocaho001 then dont take the passive way out. it's good that you left a comment here. it gives others the chance to think about what you just said. if you've become aware enough to realize that buying from big corporations is part of the problem, then STOP. just because you think others won't stop doesn't mean that you continue on. ONE person has to change their direction before millions will flow behind them and do the same. if you lead, someone will follow. that's proven through history

  • @monkeyjoe9 money was created to control people, it isn't real, there is no value in it, there never was and there never will be. the only value in money is the value with which you have been brainwashed into thinking that it has value in the first place.

  • @monkeyjoe9 I tried to explain this to some co-workers years ago and they just looked at me like I was nuts. Money is literally just a belief system projected onto materials. There are complicated rules, but this basic idea is a given. If the guy who made your $5 footlong doesn't believe your money is legit, you aren't getting that sandwich. Belief rules this species.

  • @clehneis i agree with you totally, except the satan (religious dogma) part; religion was also introduced historically to control people.

  • I don't believe that religion's initial intention was to control people. Also it depends on the religion. I don't think Buddhism has such interests. I believe that the government realizes the influence that christianity has on a large amount of people and they use it to their advantage.

  • well clehneis, if you study religious history you'd see the sad truth that priests spread fear among the rest of society and exchanged their prayers for food in return. and Buddhism ins''t a religion; it's a belief system. I have ni problem with belief systems like Buddhism or Confucianism

  • I can't argue with that nor is it my purpose here. I wish more people thought for themselves instead of being so easily influenced by dogma. Religion is just not the answer.

  • WOW I agree with you...lol i think somehow we were both confused. yeah, religion is a crime against critical thinking and rational thought. no doubt.

  • or perhaps the controlling of people through fear and creating a fight to survive even in situations where there is not threat is the root or evil. we want money not and lots of it because someone is telling us that if we don't get it now we might never get it. the root of all evil isn't money... the root of all money is evil. it's what the money means and where it comes from and who controls it. money is harmless.

  • Your pretty much saying the same thing I said, but in words that you understand. We are the source of our own evil and its our choice to be that way or not.

  • no i don't think you understand... i can't explain it any easier.

  • I do understand, but we are the root to all our problems and solutions. I wish people understood that. You know, the real potential that humans have especially if we all work together. Its powerful stuff.

  • @noidddd

    wrong, it's the monetary system that is evil.  money is a product of that system. simple math

  • @colinleddy wrong :)

  • @clehneis 98% of the worlds wealth is owned by less then one percent of the people, and your telling me WE'RE fucking ourselves? Someone is gaining from all this bullshit, the less then one percent.

  • @clehneis Very insightful my friend. Thanks for sharing. Peace

  • @clehneis true..... but in so being responsible for ourselves we therefore possess control of ourselves.... the answer is in us.....

  • @clehneis

    I agree 2

    (I don't want to define types of music, but you know where I'm talking about)

    The problem with the modern mtv/pop music is.

    That it is so easy chewable, Most of the songs contain the message of ego.

    The message of: I contain more the one thing than you do. While music should be saying: We are all a part of that one thing. How cruel, bad or how evil you are. You are a part of that one thing. Accept it

  • Welcome to the Monetary System, enjoy your stay! (Even though you won't)

    Anyway, I don't think that money is a representation of mankind's greed as a whole, I think it boils down to the least empathetic and cruel among us that gain the most wealth but lose their happiness, than it's pushed on to everyone else as the "only way" and that they must be greedy to become a happier person. I wish more people would realize that if money can't buy happiness, than they shouldn't bother with money at all.

  • @clehneis - Terrence is not referring to mainstream music though, obviously.

  • @clehneis you're a Christian and watch Terence McKenna? wow

  • @clehneis yea, such as with the belief in satan....

  • @clehneis Money is not the root of all evil, the "love of money" is the root of all evil either way the problem is in our head.

  • @revengeracer1 no, love of money IS evil, money itself is just the root

    please dont try and mangle centuries of wisdom based on a whim

    it stayed that way for good reason

  • @clehneis Agreed. Once we have grown as a society to the realization of the game we have been playing with ourselves then we will finally see what exactly we are and what we are here for. Money is an illusion, politics is an illusion, Culture is an illusion, the entire visible universe is no more to us than what we say it is. This is why it is important to have an open mind, has anyone ever realized that you can completely alter your reality simply by accepting an idea? Try it and see.

  • @iamxTurtlex share some ideas w. me. anything that u have recently incorporated into your life.

  • @Disposition446 Personally, I have simply come to accept the responsibility of controlling my own thoughts. Replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations. See all life experiences, both positive and negative, as opportunities. I find that it is also useful to keep a log to track when you first created the thought to when it actually manifests and you'll find that this amount of time will decrease with practice, but most importantly, remember that the feeling is the true

  • @Disposition446 intention, not the thought, you can shape the event with your thoughts, but your emotions are what is tied to your subconscious and will ultimately be the determining factor. It is our expectations that create reality, not necessarily that we want it to happen consciously. The decision is made through your emotions.

  • who says satan is so bad?

  • why wouldn't he?

  • satan is a symbol of evil that humans made up. We say Satan is bad, but does he really exist or is it the evil in us that we're running away from?

  • Anyone who thinks satan is the angel of art and music is royally fucked in the head.

  • lol i think satan is the angel of art and music :D

  • Andyone who actually believes in angels/satan/etc. is royally fucked in the head.

  • Agreed.

  • thats scary

  • that face is genius. lol

  • if you could make the neck move....

  • i do

  • its trippy for sure.... even more trippy when stoned.

    these things are like tools to take you out of your mundane mindset i would imagine

  • yeah you think so?

  • Goliath Flores

  • I've actually captured the music I've created in my head or in dreams, written it down, recorded all the parts, mixed it, the whole bit - and I have to say... it didn't sound as good on the outside of my head! And I've been pretty happy with music I've recorded otherwise. Some of it is more straightforward and some of it is trippier, but the stuff from my head sounded more like fragments when recorded... There's nothing wrong with it, but I think the music is just AMPLIFIED inside your head.

  • I completely relate and resonate with what you are saying/experiencing. How can we bring it into being in the totality which we experience/hear music, in that liminal space?

  • i dunno. i don't think it's so complicated and stuff. it's just the music you hear in your head. like, the random shit you create...up there. the hard part is getting it out, onto paper or something. and also having it sound similar lol.

  • I am so interested in finding this "Interior Music" now. Can someone point me in the direction of the actual quote and it's source, please.

    Much love to you all.

  • As a musician I can tell you that what he is saying is 100% true. Especially Beethoven's quote.

  • Since, we've gotten to gabbing about it, I HAVE decide to try inducing these hallucinations via singing the three "gateway" songs in my head. I induced a faint Kumbaya yesterday. What I want of course is to induce one song and then get the whole phenomenon rolling again. I've always been pretty passive about it, but decided, what the hell, let's see what we can get going here. It's too cool to allow to lie dormant if I can indeed wake it up!

  • No one has ever spoken more on topics totally outside his very limited ken as McKenna. I have had two extended periods of almost constant musical hallucination and many, many sporadic incidents. Some was great, some was meager at best, some was hilarious (Mickey Mouse theme as sung by a somewhat spooked out group of chipmunks) and lots and lots was more or less exact recordings of music I had heard. Most was Xmas music. It was fun, sometimes thrilling, but the music of the spheres it was NOT!!!

  • Just like Bill Hicks said:

    " Play from your f******g heart!!! "

    Only but put in a bit more elegantly way :)

  • haha yeah,

    that bill hicks quote is words to live for

    i play guitar and it's just teaching for me

  • this seems to have some validity, because even on a semi-low new musical input base...i still have a relatively high new-musical output, in the context of the alone jam in the bedroom. it seems theres something unique to each of us that is eeking for release if u give it the chance. only so much technical input is needed before you are playing the inner music of the self. it just depends how far you are willing to take your explorations of that.

  • i've had a couple of waking dreams where by my body is still paralised but i am semi conscious and some of the music i have heard in this state is incredible, it's like an alien string quartet vibrating from strings of light.. Apparently Steve Vai wrote Passion and Warfare in this state, I 'm glad Terrence as acknowledged this,.

  • Wow. I've heard of people describing 'aliens' peering down at them while they were in the same, semi-conscious, physically-paralyzed state. Weird. ;)

  • Amazing, i used to wake up in this state and it is so strange, once i managed to move out of the freeze but only to realise my body was still laying down lol, i got as far as my door and felt so afraid of where i was going i came back. But i do recall seeing something out my window something that was dark and triangular i felt something was there.

  • Steve Vai rocks!!

  • I've had many episodes of sleep paralysis, false awakenings, etc. There has on occasion been sensations of someone or something unwelcome coming into the room, but I think that the paralysis itself engendered a certain paranoia about that. What's happening is that the physiological system that stops you from sleep walking is still on when it should be off. If you are in this state and wish to escape it, consciously wiggle your finger tips. Once they get moving well, the rest dissipates quickly.

  • yeah it can be scary. the music sounds like its coming from a radio in my inner ear and its almost like its being sponteneously composed. it hasn't happened in a while.

  • At the most amazing, there was a two day period during which, if I had a better musical memory and could have transcribed what I was hearing, I could have written three musical masterpieces just by taking "dictation", as it were. But most "original" pieces were very basic and most of the hallucinations were not just familiar existing songs, but more or less familiar renditions of them. The weirdest was listening to two versions of Little Drummer Boy that were playing almost but not quite in sync

  • The one version was a "recording" of the classic Harry Simeone Chorale version, which btw was the first thing I had ever hallucinated. The other version was some sort of jazzed up or maybe just whacked out version that was kinda "shadowing" the classic version. People who get musicial hallucinations tend to hallucinate "sentimentally meaningful" music and my own experience of hearing lots of Xmas music is far from unique. Music that meant something to you as a child is heavily represented.

  • I also hallucinated original music in another sense. Right after one of my dogs died unexpectedly, I hallucinated for several days a requiem I had previously composed out of two throat singing themes I came up with. And I was once startled when Iwas at a fair and started to hallucinate my own actual throat singing! That was pretty funny! Anyway, I had a rational fear of all this when I wasn't sure what might be causing it. But once all known and suspected nasty causes were ruled out, I was okay

  • At this point, I can say that I actually miss it when it doesn't happen. Sometimes I can induce it by intentionally "playing in my mind" certain songs, eg the aforementioned requiem of mine, Kumbaya and the also aforementioned Little Drummer Boy. Why these three songs serve as "gateways" I don't know. There's lots I don't understand about the phenomenon, including such details as why it started, why it stopped for awhile only to start again, why it became sporadic and then rarer and rarer ...

  • Anyone else TOTALLY creeped out by the visuals here, btw?

  • was youtripping or doing it at will?

  • Neither tripping nor doing it at will. First time it happened, I was driving from the animal shelter where I worked at the time to another to save a little pup in trouble there and I noticed that the song Little Drummer Boy was playing. It was Xmas season. So the idea that it was playing outside the car somewhere was not unreasonable until I drove several miles and it was as loud as ever. For the next several months, I had music going for hours every day.

  • For whatever reason, despite these "spontaneous" muscal hallucinations, I don't recall having any noteworthy musical experiences while tripping, other than the usual deepened appreciation of music I was listening to. But if music wasn't playing in objective reality, I didn't hear any. But I haven't tripped for years and years and years and so I don't know whether a trip would trigger these musical hallucinations that came to me only after I was almost 50 years old.

  • zap

  • wow... someone''s on my page, but they are nuts too.

  • Does anyone know where I can get a good free program that I can use to cut up mp3s and add pictures, video etc?

  • it comes with windows :) windows moviemaker

  • Wow, i love that Beethoven quote!

  • nice animation,great man,he is more alive than ever,he exists on another plain of existence,his physical vehicle,his carrier reach an expiration date,and his soul still exists,a very wise soul,who taught us love

  • This man is quickly becoming one of my favorite human beings... speaking of music and psychedelica, here's a couple of videos for stuff I've created, and what my brain looks/sounds like... hope people enjoy, thanks for the time! (if anyone views this post as innapropriate, I'll gladly remove it)

    /watch?v=zW-2EgaWdpM

    /watch?v=I-Ndk0C1RE0

  • what about Alan Watts

  • It's not that what Terrence Mckenna says is not true and has no value, it's the conclusions he comes to are assuming to those who wish to believe what he believes in order gain some pre-ordained truth. The man is proof of the power that hallucinogens have on the power of the psych, creating powerful experiences and insights that people believe to be true regardless of the facticty of the experience. It is foolish to trust what you do not understand, and beliefs by themselves don't create truth.

  • So what's the fact of the experience, since you obviously seem to know?

  • Comment removed

  • that's actually happened to me a few times, just before I nod off to sleep I start to hear some completely original music that's being produced by my subconscious or something

  • meh.. happens to me in my panic attacks, completly original and of my own composing.

  • that happens to me too but it happens when im in a lucid state, like asleep but somewhat aware

  • sweet!

  • most people are unaware that scientists know very little about the brain's abiltity to percieve, classify, and be affected by sound, but only how the ear itself works and relays chemical messages to the brain. many people have mentioned the ability for the brain to create its own music while in a semi-concious or hallucinating state.

  • music is magic, you better believe it people!

  • Speaking as a songwriter/musician, what he says about us trying to approximate these things we sometimes hear is maybe the greatest explanation I've heard.

    The great songs and bits of music always seem sing to you first, calling out to you somehow and if you translate enough of it right those are usually the songs that people always seem to gravitate towards.

    I miss Terence's fresh thinking, thanks for posting.

  • Once on cubensis I did retreat into my room and laid down with no external music.

    Slowly I started to perceive music that seemed to be inner & yet outer. It's volume grew and I seemed to be floating somewhere in an alternate universe made of music & was listening to this cosmic orchestra. I realized then that This must be what Beethoven and Mozart were 'tuned' into. It lasted about a 1/2 hour and went through many gorgeous changes.

     If I could only hear that music all the time, it was divine!

  • thats the beauty of composing human emotion and converting it into sound frequencies to share with the rest of the planet.

  • like so much in my life lately, this video happens to be an opportunity knocking at my door.

  • like to hear what he has to say about improv between musicians since that kind of breaks the rule of interior music that he was talking about. if you can hear what's in one person's head great, what about hearing two people's at the same time attempting to interact with each other? takes it to a whole other place imo

  • good point, everybody go get the cd HEARTCORE by Kurt Rosenwinkel or just youtube search Kurt Rosenwinkel.

  • I love reading people's comments on anything to do with Terence Mckenna. He seems to get the best out of people, he was such a cool guy its very regrettable that he wasn't given the chance to speak in front of the world, I know he could have made even more of an impact if he was given the chance. I would say RIP T but i know he has re incarnated already, No way this guy would miss Dec 21st 2012, not even death could stop him :) Peace all
