  • maybe you're not underground.. maybe you're in hell

  • his trip reports are to die for, lest we forget his madness, mushrooms are not alien fucking probes you mugs. the cult of mckenna.

  • the molecular stucture that he speaks about is the difference betweeen the, shall we say in our terms, different DNA of the other higher forms of life in our own universal dimension. you have to relize that quantum mechanics is mostly all theory, which they are now starting to discover in string theory that certain atoms may actually exist in more than one spacde and time.......

  • terrence should say more often that "Everyone is different." I do not experience shrooms in the same way he does... at all. never seen machines, not once. the other descriptive words are a LITTLE familiar but far far away from my actual experience. do not take what terrence says to be absolute. it is always about you as an individual. no two people experience the exact same thing, and in terms of psychedelics this fact has even more weight

  • @ionvkch He says many times that it is how HE experiences it.

  • @Svedn doesn't change the fact that people soak up the memes of others like sponges leading to incredibly homogenized "reports" of their experiences. Even joe rogan, in his now famous radio show interview where he described his first DMT trip, pretty much verbatim was describing what terrence mckenna saw. He admitted this in a more recent interview, basically because he said he couldn't really find words for his own experience, and terrence is such a wordsmith I can understand.

  • A good thing to do in tandem with psychedelic experiences is to study oneself as deeply as possible, what makes one different from others. If a person is experimenting with shrooms and DMT they are probably the kind of person who is already like that, but it is a good idea to just chuck what other people say. It is admittedly a hard thing to do, I myself have repeated verbatim things other people have said to the point of MORT. After a while it feels like a compromise or distortion of self

  • @ionvkch have you ever tried DMT? cuase the machine part was about DMT

  • @superfresh602

    i recently took pcylocybin for my second time, my first experience was on about 1.75g of dry mushrooms, and my second on 2.5g the trips were very similar in some ways to what he has said, colors were incredibly vibrant, the feeling is that of pure bliss and joy. Also pcylocybin is like talking in a language of colors and pure happiness and excitement. Deffinatelly looking foreward to exploring higher doses of them in the future

  • @theG1RF i probably will too but idc if i could find the right shrooms and or psilocybin or whatever you want to call it and i wouldnt know which is an ok shroom and which is a deadly shroom

  • If you look up ld50 you'll find out that thc has a higher ld50 than Nicotine, Caffeine, and Aspirin. so it means that caffeine which is more toxic is legal but marijuana which is less toxic is illegal. see how dumb our government is

  • can any one that has ever used psilocybin, ayahuasca, and dmt, all that things that he says happen do they actually do happen?

  • @Superfresh602

    Yeah they do happen but you gotta understand something... we both experience the same thing "5 gram experience in dark silent room", but the way we describe it is so different. what he calls, elves, I may call god.... what he says are machines, I may call aliens... the exact words should just be used as stepping stones, street signs, pointing to the same conclusion. once youre in heaven, does it really matter which clouds you took to get there?

  • @stoopidlungs whatever the name or metaphor it is still the same general idea and do you believe in god because its kinda weird that you believe god and aliens

  • @Superfresh602 why would it be weird that someone believe in God and aliens?

  • @Buchy1369 because christian of their head up their ass when it comes to the positioning of the earth so they wouldnt think that it couldn't happen anywhere else.

  • @Superfresh602 im sorry but im a christian and believe in aliens and the powers of psychedelics. i know most christians are ignorant and close minded and they give us all a bad rap. but how dare you insult my beliefs and say we have our head up our asses.

  • @Buchy1369 im just saying you're among a minority of non closed minded people. But that shouldn't change the overall perception. If 95% of bears ate people, the perception would be that bears are carnivores, one vegetarian wouldn't change what people though about bears.

  • @Superfresh602 good point. and that makes me really sad. i actually just ended a friendship with a close friend of almost 5 years (im in high school so that appears to be a long time lol) becuase he was so close-minded and judgemental. i really hope that the christian community can turn itself around.

  • @Buchy1369 These kind of things of thing take at least 100 years of bad judgement to learn. also i don't mean to sound fucked up but we're lucky some of these closed minded people are slowing dying off. So eventually no one can use the excuse of that's how they were raised (people when they defend their racism) or what they were taught ( people in the 30s and 40s about weed who never learned and passed the knowledge to their children and so on).

  • @Superfresh602 "Closed eyes will never open; Closed minds, there's no objections."

    What you said comes off as harsh but theres some truth to that man.

  • @Buchy1369 negativity waters down is what im saying.

  • Really, just listening to this sparks the imagination.

  • iowaska trip??? what is that

  • @perthheat111 ayahuasca, ;)

  • @originaltbyrd why are you watching this if you gone say something negative

  • i don't think it's a good idea to put these videos promoting drug use out in front of young teenagers. it's bad judgement and ought to be illegal.

  • @originaltbyrd hes not promoting anything. He just give his opinion. I seriously and honestly HATE people like you who always try to find some shit everywhere and think they are the best person on the planet and know everything... you are nothing alone and you doesnt know shit. So... start to lissent and stop judging.

  • @originaltbyrd It's their decision.

  • nice druggy people...lie still, be calm, terence will explain it all for you...nice druggy sheeple learn from terence...

  • @ajones123ful gtfo

  • @BobBurnnquist Satire is the lowest form of comedy. I get it. But, still... It's unnecessary.

    If it's not satire, "God" help you.

  • @Lsdfunk I guess i just have a poor sense of humor. ¯\_(^_^)_/¯

  • @Lsdfunk Nah. I didn't mean it like that.

    Your posts may annoy some of my viewers and cause unnecessary silly arguments on my videos.

    No ill-intent whatsoever, homes.

  • @BobBurnnquist R.I.P. Terence McKenna...Is this serious? Are you really crude, or is it a joke?

    Listen to what he has to say...It's pretty wise stuff!

  • @BobBurnnquist learn to spell first

  • @BobBurnnquist... Hahaha have you ever wonderd why god would allow these drugs to exist, no one pretends to know anything, i know i dont, and i dont think christ would apreciate the way you go about things.

  • @BobBurnnquist Bob Burnquist Im a huge fan of you and I cant believe how you are in real life...

    what a dissapointment.

  • @BobBurnnquist  HAHAHA!

  • 2:10 google hollow earth theory. is this where they live??? hmmm

  • We need to go deeper...

  • "and then you got a stiff on your hands, so yea" ah haha -RIP Terence

  • R.I.P terence

  • Smoking cigarettes while tripping lets me in on what they do to the body... and me not like it.

  • i really like this guy but there is truly no way to describe a trip, you can describe your trip but you cannot generalize it

  • @thorfoxxx

    I think you can generalize it - you just have to be extremely careful and attentive. That's what was so incredible about McKenna, in my eyes. He somehow paid more attention then anyone else did (or at least, he learned how to express it through language better then anyone else I've ever heard).

  • "mystery of the meat"

  • I believe that the human body in its pure form when you are born, is created with applications that relate to taking psychedelics, because our human bodies are part of the Earth, we are made from the Earth we are its sons and daughters, we take from the Earth and so on.

  • iv listened to other people talk about this for too long, i need to take some shrooms!

  • im a beginner at ''drugs'' but what drug is he talking about in 3:30?

  • @Froubz Ayahausca which are mainly for divinatory and healing purposes by Shamans of the Amazones. Search google and you will find a lot of information.

  • @soddex ok, thanks

  • killer.always good to hear terence

  • Could not be more accurate & perfect! PEACE

  • he should really repeat the questions before he answers them

  • "I want to see more of what you are, for yourself." I don't understand... who does he want to see more of? Some one help me out plz.

  • Comment removed

  • @CandlesOfUnity your version of "GOD" is a twisted lie from an ancient holy book

  • You like this video. Thanks for the feedback! See more videos you liked.

  • Great clips man. Any idea where we can get the full lecture?

  • @TooChill Thanks, man. I think this series was entitled 'Under the teaching tree'.

    I got it in a torrent years ago, so I don't know where it may be found now.

    There's a mckenna archive @ deoxy.org - that's a good place to start looking.

    PEACE

  • @Lsdfunk No man. 'Under the teaching tree' has a baby laughing constantly and birds chirping in the background. This was taped inside. Can't identify the speech though.

  • @OHIOverdrive Whoopsie. Must be 'Under the Tree of Knowledge'. It's an 8 part series, whatever it is. I can look into my hard-drives if you still can't find it.

    Peace

  • @TooChill tell Terence mckenna to call me i need to talk to him 845-214-5359

  • @gsxws6 take a 7 grams of shrooms and hit him up, no need for the phone ;)

  • @gsxws6 im sorry, but hes dead :(

  • @TooChill just go to under the teching tree on youtube and copy the url to vidtomp3.com

  • Just a word of caution, he's describing his way of taking psychodelics, he had plenty of experince with them. I wouldn't recommend smoking anything after taking shrooms for beginners, last thing you want when you are super sensitive to the tiniest sensations is smoke entering your body.

  • @CvijaFaQ Eh.... unless you're a smoker, right?

    Everyone I know who smokes LOVES the feeling of smoke entering their bodies when they're tripping.

  • @Lsdfunk

    Right, makes sense, I myself don't smoke tobacco. I try to avoid smoking my drugs, but to each his own.

  • @CvijaFaQ @CvijaFaQ I don't smoke any more - got a volcano; changing to vapour has done wonders to my health.

    But, smoking - cannabis especially - while tripping was one of the most enjoyable times to smoke; and, most in my 'peer group' agree whole-heartedly.

    To each their own, indeed.

    PEACE

  • @Lsdfunk SO TRUE , I smoke everyday , I LOVEEEE smoking when im trippin , it actaully helps to keep me grounded and not ''lose all control'' its my like last gripppp on reality but at the same time enhancing everything , its beautiful thanks for these videos brother.

  • @CvijaFaQ since my first time ive been smoking weed, it gets even more intense , but in my personal experience its awesome

  • ok so i bought an eighth of shrooms yesterday and im saving them for the weekend they wont go bad right? sorry if i sound like an idiot im new to shrooms it will be my first real trip this weekend..

  • @Steve0773 if you store them in low humidity (dessicant jar) out of sunlight they can store for years

  • @matter0ni i got them in a plastic bag rolled up in my closet hows that?

  • @Steve0773 yeah thats fine they will last months like htat

  • @matter0ni alright thanks alot man i cant wait to take them!

  • @Steve0773 enjoy. also, random tip, dont try to put them in ice cream and make a magic milkshake. the lactose acids render the psilocin inoperable somehow. blended with grape fruit juice and orange juice works very well though if you dont want to eat them out right.

  • @matter0ni haha thanks for the tip! but im just gonna eat them even though they taste DISGUSTING

  • omfg... can u tell me the title pic at 1:51? sweet tattoo for my back one time

    Salutations

  • i don't think anyone can die off 1000mg of pure MDMA.

    if they were in pills and it was combined with speed or meth, definately.

  • @ArcticSheep An entire gram??? Pure? Yes it would. Point two of a gram of good MDMA will put me on my ass for hours. A quarter of a gram and everyone I've ever seen take MDMA is FUCKED. Quadruple the dose & I can safely estimate you could very well be approaching death.

  • @Lsdfunk o.o Since I took a 1/4 of a gram, my memory just disapeared ):

    that really sucks...

  • @tuvasaigner Don't worry, homes. It comes back!

    ;D

  • @ArcticSheep i took a quarter once omg too much man allmsot OD level u can tottally feel it cause u need to control ur self since ur on the verdge of fainting but ur hyperactive so its scard 4x times that lol u dead within mins man

  • @OoOComputerGeekOoO like i said, you would feel that with psychedelics too. imagine you took 12 grams of shrooms. you would definately feel like "holy shit i was so close to dying even a little more would have killed me" even though that's not remotely true.

    so unless you know someone who DIED of a gram of pure MDMA without taking other drugs, you can't make that claim.

    you can "feel" like your about to die on just about any entheogen, doesn't mean you are.

  • @ArcticSheep sorry to burst your bubble but speed=METH

  • @Steve0773 speed = amphetamine, meth = methamphetamine. ur right tho sometimes people call meth speed

  • I am leaving for the Pacfic side of Costa Rica and hope to find my Shamanic teacher there, I doubt I'll return ,as I am done with the consumerism of the US. So peace bothers and sisters,I'll save a seat on the other side for you....

  • @justaman6972 nice man come on down, im on the pacific side. north though. i hear theres an ayuhuasca cult somehere in the country

  • @justaman6972

    best of luck 'justaman6972, on your quest. Hop you find the keys!!! They are all around you, just look!!

  • @Ultimatetruthseeker1 Thanks ,as for the keys,all one can do is search ya know? I am a soul searcher of sorts,always looking ,examining self. Terrence once said that dmt is not only a secret,it is THE secret,so with this in mind I am confident I will get the answers I seek,or atleast be a better soul for it. peace...

  • How do you spell the psychedelic named at 3:15?

  • @dodoheard Ayahuasca (AKA Yage)

  • MDMA is just a toy. E?? It is a drug for 15 year old disco chicks. Try 5g of mushrooms. Dont worry its safe if you are safe with yourself. Someone said once: A weekend wasted is not a wasted weekend:)

  • DMT ELVES!!!

  • @scrut Never seen em on DMT, but I seen elves on Salvia Divinorium. Horrible, horrible plant.

  • oh man that is so true! i don't know if the entities that come to you are extremely intelligent or what, but it gets scary with some of them and then become a distraction, leading you to think about yourself too much and becoming a even more scary situation.

  • shrooms will give these so called dumb fucks an imagination.

    we are all made of the same stuff....... the 'dumbfuck' just had a crappy social experience...... this too can be cleaned out. Then the 'dumbfuck' in his ugly cocoon can emerg from it as the BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY...... they only true suckness in people.... is the mean spiritedness people dramatize....... you have to get past the first three chakras to awaken the true heart. but people get caught in survival, fight or flight areas

  • I love these! One thing I thought was odd, though, was him describing psilocybin's trip being science fiction-y. I've never gotten anything like that out of shrooms, the closest I ever got was a shitty shrooms trip where I was convinced I was a being from a higher plane of existence put here by mistake, but it wasn't from a different physical location. Maybe I'm just not doing enough shrooms haha.

  • ...theirishateyou... that sounds like a fine trip

    wow... i cant believe you called it shitty. thats actually a good trip

  • @happybuddyperson

    It sounds cool, definitely, but that was a small part of the whole bad trip. I guess I should have said "bad trip" rather than "shitty trip". The reason it was so shitty was because I still believed everyone else was human, and that I was incapable of truly connecting with any of them because they were all lower beings. Not fun!

  • its true man the every time i listen to this dude its like a brain workout ,i'ts like im coming up on shrooms literaly my pupils dilate and everything 'GOOD 4 THE MIND'

  • just listening to this guy gets u stoned lol

  • Anyone know anything about the picture at 1:52?

  • his ayahuasca description. wooooow.

  • i dont doubt terrance at all but i think the trip of an intellectual like himself would differ drastically as oposed to a dumb fuck with no imagination

  • He makes it sound as if these trips are consistant and constant with everyone, maybe after listening to him all the time you tend to have a self fullfilling prophecy and have these trips

  • @seveneverything

    That's what I was thinking, some of the stuff he said I was like, "Yeah, totally", and some of it I was like, "what? Really? THAT'S what you felt? o:"

  • Hmm...when I was about six I remember a very potent dream that had to do with machinery and pure,unrelenting fear.

    One of my most potent memories that I still cannot explain to this day. It was something VERY different. I have never experienced that sort of presence or feeling again.

  • @tcbshaded39 Man I feel what your saying, did you ever figure out what it was exactly??

  • @creps408

    I've thought about it for a while now and I still can't replicate that feeling. I remember massive machines and the feeling of being crushed by some amazing force, almost like a state of panic. These machines were connected by insanely huge wires and pipes. No specific details. But that's what I remember.

  • Man, are you actually serious?

    He isn't talking about LSD there, he's talking about Psilocybin first, then MDMA - but, I guess you weren't listening. Funny, there's no mention of LSD around that point of the recording at all...

    Now, I'm sure you're proud that you know what a microgram is, how many are in a gram & that you know the 'µg' symbol...

    But, please, don't apply your wisdom where it's neither needed or necessary.

    Peace & respect, broseph.

  • @Lsdfunk how do you type the lower case letter mu?

  • "He also said 1000mg can kill you"

    Yes, 1000mg of MDMA.

  • I must have misheard "LD50" as "LSD" because I could have swore he was talking about LSD, not MDMA at the end. That's why I was so baffled about the dosage. Makes perfect sense now.

    I've gotta stop posting comments after midnight.

    Great video regardless.

  • Hey, I just need some advice. I'm not an avid drug user, but would like to try shrooms. I've only tried cocaine, weed, and mdma. Now with Ganja, I would get paranoid a lot... Pretty much everytime I smoke. I get panic attacks and I always get a feeling of something bad happening. Would you recommend me trying shrooms? If so, I should I prepare for it? and how much? Thank you very much :)

  • Well, if you get panic attacks every time you have a smoke; maybe you should wait a couple of years, & see if you've got a better handle on consciousness.

    At least wait untill you can handle your smoke before you go anywhere near any of the true psychedelics.

    Why do you get panic attacks when your stoned? Are you just too worried about being busted, or what? I'd recommend studying what's making you nervous next time/s - if you can figure it out, then you've learned something about yourself.

  • i get really paranoid too, i bet its because of the people you are around. for some reason i get lots of anxiety around people but im perfectly fine alone. i would suggest to quit for awhile and clear your system completely of bud before you try shrooms. i had a whole eighth my first time...best experience of my life. just prepare yourself mentally and im sure you'll be fine. weed is different than boomers so i wouldn't be worried, just don't smoke for awhile...

  • Yes i do recomend doing shrooms dont do them to get fucked up like you would with coke do them to solve all those question your trying to figure out, because you will find out alot about yourself, just remember think good thoughts

  • If you get paranoid a lot on marijuana I wouldn't advise psychedelics until you can figure that out.

    I think some good things to try is having a beer while you come up on psychedelics just don't have too much. This can help. To get rid of anxiety take some Kava Kava, it's good for stopping fear. You can get rid of a lot of the problems you might have on psychedelics if you take a Xanax, it will lower your trip significantly and you shouldn't take it unless you absolutely need to.

  • thats so sad! Could I suggest that it could possibly be your setting? Try smoking it with your closest of closest friends. Or if alone, only in your home where everything is safe and comfortable :)

  • @Psychyou1

    I often have felt the same way when smoking.

    However, I think mushrooms has a lot to do with being around people you HONESTLY feel good and safe around. If you begin falling into a bad trip, you're going to want to be around people who wouldn't pass judgment on you and only wish to help.

  • @Psychyou1

    I would not recommend you try shrooms if you're getting panic attacks after smoking weed. Now about those panic attacks, they are probably brought on because you're worried that you will have a panic attack, I always found it best to go for a walk outside in the fresh air when ever I got a bit of panic when stoned. Sitting down in a small room with not much to occupy yourself with can bring about all kinds of bad thoughts and make you regret smoking it.

  • @Psychyou1

    Also it is good to remind yourself of time by checking how long it has been since you smoked the weed, then remember the peak of the high is only going to last 45 minutes. After that you will feel more calm :)

  • @Psychyou1 : you need to smoke ganj in a chill place where ur comfortable first, and learn how to not feel paranoid , that aint shit comin from the outside, thats from in ur head. i used to get paranoid when i first smoked, some my friends still say the same thing about weed. i think it doesn't feel good if your not doing what you want w/ life and are using it just to escape. balance. i used shrooms once trying to hide from shit and fer most of the trip i was like "i cant escape I can't escape

  • @Psychyou1 This panic attack or paranoia occurs for me sometimes in Indica blends of Cannabis. An Indica strain (which is common) is more of a body buzz and is supposed to suppress pain. Sativa (which is entirely harder to obtain) is more of a psychedelic type of buzz, more involved in shredding lairs withing your being and awakening detached from ego.  Try to find a Sativa blend. For your anxiety, this can be solved by taking slow, deep breaths (as learned in meditation) and drinking water.

    Seriously, folks... Jesus ain't got shit on Terence mcKenna.

    :D

  • hahaha hell YES

  • Comment removed

  • what's the painting/art starting at 1:51 is it alex grey?

    thanks in advance!

  • No idea, man.

    I'm fairly positive it's not Alex Grey, though.

    I don't have any f these images anymore - but, if it helps any: I found them by google image searching the term 'trippy'.

    Yes, I know.... so unimaginative.

    xD

  • haha it was the second image

  • What i mean is im already in the ''tripping'' processremembering past travels and past encounters. Then im thinking the process, what will i seek?, what will i meditate on?, what will ''they''or ''it'' is going to give ?, will i be worthy of answers or more questions ? then i listen again to Terence and omg the trip reeeally begins i feel my psyche already active in a very unusual way....like tripping ^ ^

  • I have found so many differences and so many same situations with fellow Terence im going back and forth in all these posts listening always getting new answers always getting more questions its just overwhelming .like a trip ^ ^..im in a situation right now im trying to decide when where and how will i make my next psychedelic transcendence, trip you could say i just now realized while listening to Terence that the whole experience is already in a psychic transcending stage!!!!

  • At 6:45, it gets chilling...he's SO spot on in his description of the psychedelic personalities...love this, and thanks, again...!

  • I love it. :D "...& there's like this low organ tone..." I love Terence's voice. What a king of a human.

    Thanks for posting, TMKchild - I always appreciate your input.

    (:

  • what a great description"King of a human"...fits him like a glove!

  • His description of ayahuasca's personality is perfect.

  • This, particular talk of Terence's should be "required", for all freshman psychconauts!

  • Psychedelics are life.

  • Wow, I've been looking for this talk of Terence's, where,at about 6:35 he gets into lifting the veil.One of his more famous quotes about the "dancing mice" is great!Thanks for this,L...

  • Who's a moron?

    & for what reason?

    I find context tends to aid understanding.

    Thanks.

    ;D

  • If only he could have lived in the 21st century... especially to see 2012

  • @EatAmerica

    he got there before us friend

  • I have a question to ayahuasca users.

    In the beginning of the experience, when you are purging... Does the act of vomiting throw you into a bad trip?

    If i was in severe stomach disconfort, i dont think i could snap out of it and see beautiful things.

  • For me, the comfort which settles in after vomiting is extremely comforting and it puts things into perspective. I feel like; Okay, now that the stupid and challenging shit is over, lets get into the real meaningful search of the thing.

    I'm on McKenna's page. When you're on an Ayahuasca trip you are slave to it's will and it has once put my personal life into perspective for me.

    I think that's what it's best used for, but I haven't meddled with it in awhile.

  • Purging is actually a positive part of the trip. The bad imagery and scary flashes come before.. the purge is the release of all the negative energies within you.

  • i drank Ayahuasca 4 times and was never able to control anything in the visions.

  • Id call them a fungi that perturbs brain chemistry, id call a drug a man made product like, say Cocaine and heroine and so on, not sure about opium, but its unhealthy. and DMT is naturally occurring in your brain also.  Keep a sailing friends :) Liberate yourself from the Illusion of culture and take responsibility for what you think and do -T Mkenna.

  • No, heroin is synthesized from morphine by adding anhydrous acid. Morphine and Cocaine are just as naturally occurring as DMT, whereas heroin is man-made (actually semi-synthetic) because it synthesized from morphine, which occurs naturally in the opium latex.

  • cocaine and heroine isnt as natural as DMT lol. you can chew the coco plant that cocaine is made from, and its no more harmful with a cup of coffee, im talking from stuff untouched growing from the ground.....

  • Nah, people can make DMT powder at home by extraction. But the average Joe will NEVER be able to make cocaine at his house lol...even heroin from poppy seeds...meth yes

  • yeah but they make meth from chemicals not plants

  • lsdfunk....pray tell where did you get/how did you make the image at 4:15? it comes quite close to an experience I had...and I wonder what can reproduce this very intimate image

  • 2:45 the picture of northern lights is amazing. You can see an eagle killing an owl, and curiously eagle hate owl's. it's also used as an illigal huntting method.

  • I adore psychedelics.

  • I was young once... I needed the BLUE pill...

    *lollyz ;D

  • Not everyone trips for mind expansion.

    It's good for introspection.

    Psychedelics have such a negative stigma...

  • Blue pill = Willful ignorance

  • OMG U R so unzen XD

    The blue pill may make life easier. But, I would sumit to you that most people who have travelled that road are, in some sense, avoiding the quintessence of what 'real' 'life' is all about - & that is the conquest of dimensionality: Be it meeting strange people, being exposed to, & understanding obscenely novel information, experiencing deeper levels of consciousness, via bio-software - ad infinitum.

    I'm ok with trading in my brandname goods & social status for that. ;D

  • oh yes, thanks
