WHat im hearing is a call to decide for yourself. a call for contemplative interaction with the world you are experiencing. Not relying on anyone elses experience as an ultimate thing or truth. Finding your own truth, cultivating your own perspectives by relating authentically and intimately with what you are experiencing.AND i also really value other people such as terrance McKenna, they offer perspectives that i consider and test out for myself. i think other perspectives are great to consider
@mufalmewww It's arguable that there isn't actually any perspective other than your own. The idea of considering a perspective other than your own is merely a delusion.
can any body PLEASE tell me the name o music in background i think its pink floyds,,but pls can any one help me with it...it would be very nice i some one post me a download link or a youtube link
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
Why do people insist on putting shitty music over Terence McKenna? It just detracts from what he's saying. Imagine if TED Talks were all overlaid with music. It'd be rubbish, right? I mean, I like listening to music as much as the next man, but not when I'm trying to use my ears for something else!
There was a 'special report' on the news tonight and it had Aloe Blacc's "I Need A Dollar" playing over the top! 'Over the top' being the operative phrase, I'd say. It's the news for fuck's sake! :-(
i just watched his last video, at first i was kinda spacing out and not understanding, but in the middle i got a sudden rush of ideas, heres what i thought of from listening to him XD culture is a program, just cuz windows 98' worked doesnt mean it was perfected, nothing can be perfectedperfection is the lack of infancey
I truly think that everything spoken from Terrance is life changing...any sane person would agree. Mistrust the media and idealogy, inform yourself, trust yourself and connect to your inner being. It's just that simple! With this appreciation of nature and yourself you have the power to LOVE! And being who you are as a Human Being is good enough!
We can't be all this or all that, we need to be skeptical sometimes and trusting at other times. Trust yourself, yes, but trust the world that nourishes you as well.
@CensorshipKilla How do you know? as far as I am concerned the net like the news about 95% BS . Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see
What good is flying on an airplane when I don't have a full mastery of physics and engineering? So I can get somewhere of course. Mr. McKenna makes some good points but underestimates emergent properties of societies which arise not from each person knowing everything, but from complex networks of information shared-often unconsciously- between millions of people.
Whenever I find myself feeling lost/down in the dumps/ineffectual/whatever, I remember this video and come back and watch it, and I immediately feel 100x better

@gannen33 It takes a certain amount of intelligence to know intelligence when you see it. Don't call him an idiot, hope he arrives to the point you are one day. As for McKenna, he's one of my favorites, right there with Nietzsche. In fact, McKenna is quite a bit more uplifting if not more intelligent than Nietzsche, to say nothing of him being inherently more modern.
@brianz1214 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?

@Foolinaround1 Congratulations :D I suggest moving on to Alan Watts, as I did, it's brilliant :D That doesn't mean forgetting Terence though of course ;D
@KaiTendo174 I agree Alan Watts was an amazing speaker, and had a great way like Terence of communicating to the public. Also Kiddu Kristnamurti was in the same class in my opinion.
@tonytg909 Krishnamurti certainly is somewhere close by, I agree, he is also one of the legends of "our time" ;) Although I am not familiar with his work in detail... Possibly I will familiarize myself with it more some time in the future :)
@Gaia1986 Negative. If they wanna hear TM without sound, they should listen to all his lectures. This is an extremely cool tribute you made, you should close it right there. Maybe you can add the lecture(s) in the description? peace!
@Dennio83 hey man I'd appreciate if you'd add the lecture on yours. It's rather hard for me to find them (I've only got two, been thinking about uploading them on Utube). cy@round life bro
Number one learn how to spell psychedelics. Number two. Why look up to Einstein? He was an adulterous man who happened to be phenomenal at physics. Terrance McKenna? Just a man, both of them are just men. Not to be modeled after. They were just as imperfect as you. No better no worse. They chose their path choose your own you fool. Culture is your programming and you are choosing to program yourself. IDIOT!!!!
There are three types of people who support drug prohibition.
1. Those who legally gain employment, power and/or money by exploiting the victims of the war on drugs (ie. district attorneys, judges, lawyers, police officers, the prison industrial complex)
2. Those who profit directly from the black market created by prohibition. (gangsters, drug cartels, mafia, etc.)
3. Mildly retarded people who actually think that the government is protecting her citizens through prohibition.
Genius. I'm very disappointed in my Barnes & Noble they only had one Mckenna book and it wasn't the one I was looking for but I did buy it anyway. He's fuckin smart! But he's not as smart as me!! lol

@ChuckNorrisKratosLOL i found out about him a while back but never looked into him too much but now I'm thinking how could I have? his perspectives are so refreshing, a wise man indeed
goddamit man, such terrence mckenna is such an epic human, if only todays entertainers and leaders thought the way he does. Today i'm going to watch all the terrence mckenna my time will allow and try to clear my life-time indoctrination in this bullshit american culture, i was going to go back to my fps videogame but fuck that for now lol
SO NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
hah, by listening to you and taking your advice, I'd actually be going against your message. How ironic :) Experience is key and I wholeheartedly agree with him, but why be pessimistic and assume everyone is telling lies? We're all in this together, not isolated islands or even tribes. For better or for worse, culture is here and will imprint subconscious messages in you, but I think when we observe and live above this, we are able to see a more lucid version of reality and know ourselves better
Im a not promoting a drug use, but i think it would be important for humankind to understand psycedelic drugs better. We should have more specialist like mckenna to share the knowledge. For example, think about the music business, is it a coincidence that that we dont have any Pink floyd´s, Led Zeppelin´s, Jimi Hendrix´s nowadays. I think whole human race have taken a step back since 60´s in many ways. Those days were the last time people were seeking the thruth by themselves
@killedbydeath24 Society is mixed bag and I believe nowadays more confused then ever- highly charged and polar. But confusion occurs most often when you have too much info (spread between conscious and unconscious understanding) that you don't know how to mobilize effectively and it is possible that certain drugs can allow novel connections between info when used in the right way. Although I am sure that this is not the most popular opinion it is steadily being recognized in mainstream society.
@Gaia1986 oh well, no, its okay. i mean anyone who felt a deep serious understanding of mckenna would probably want to put dramatic music to increase the feel of it :P its all good man...but why did you say sorry if its not even your video though ? 0.o
Mis-use of the English language ("...on how to understanding yourself...") is a poor way to begin a thought, especially when you're telling people, nobody's smarter than they are! Sorry, especially in view of all the 'likes', but this is a lot of feel-good nonsense. People ARE smarter than you. Deal.
Sure, experience matters, but there's an unwarranted (and unearned) arrogance to dismissing knowledge. You understand "what is happening" by GETTING AN EDUCATION.
@WILLIAMCOOKE There are a myriad of ways to become educated, peculiar to each individual. And each individual constitutes a a part of "whats happening". If your in the habit of dismissing people because you find them uneducated, you may be missing out on some education. Seriously.
@SammmmmyG You INTEND to use the contraction, "You're", not "Your". Yes, there are billions of people and the spirit is infinite... blah, blah, blah. Sorry, TM's glorification of drug culture is crap. US education has dropped to 35th out of 57 countries in math, and 29th out of 57 in science. Today's problems are not going to be solved by transcending out to the "inner consciousness". Kids are arrogant, without reason, and that makes them vulnerable.
@WILLIAMCOOKE Mis use of the English language is the point. Language itself can be used as a weapon of control. Who is to prove what knowledge is real truth? Who proves what is the real reason behind the what and why things are taught? The truth only lies within yourself. "Education" can be used indoctrination. You can steer people into thinking what is real and what is being educated. Open mind and trusting yourself is the only true education.
This is where Terence is at his best, by encouraging you to think for yourself and trust your own judgement. It is a message that can easily be misunderstood but he's essentially right. Ultimately the only thing we can take responsibility for is developing an active mind, exploring and testing competing hypothesis, and not mistaking anyone elses word for gospel.
The problem is no one is willing to stop no one is willing to give up and anything we do to give up only strengthens the doing. It is a hopeless situation. However, it is only hopeless in reference to the hope we have all been given.
Wow, he is either really bright or a fool. In his "...humble opinion ....nobody understands what is happening, not Buddhists, not Christians, not government scientists, not you know, no one understands what is happening." I think Thomas Edison's understanding which lead him to invent the light bulb helped me a great deal.
McKenna isn't criticizing SMART people like Edison, hes pointing out that all the big institutions (religions, gov't) are claiming to know what is going on with god and the world, but are really FULL OF SHIT. Great quote comes to mind:
"Keep the company of those who are seeking the truth, but run from those who have found it"
PS: McKenna was neither a fool nor really bright.
He was bitchin' a total freakin GENIUS from mars!!
@NuteBoycdxx You're not enlightened either buddy. If enlightenment was easy then people wouldn't dedicate their entire lives to transforming the mind. Anyone who feels any desire to boast about their 'enlightened' status over youtube is clearly the one who should be felt sorry for.
@NuteBoycdxx I agree with this video 100%. With that said, the desire to boast of your enlightened status could arise from nowhere else other than the ego itself. Seems to me like your ego has you in its grip and is deceitfully tricking you into believing your state of mind is indeed enlightenment. I'm not questioning that you have gained spiritual wisdom. But to claim you're "enlightened" on a youtube video as a way of expressing superiority is paradoxical to the concept of enlightment itself.
@TRUESports09 wow, you are really not getting it. when did i ever say i was better than you or anyone else? when did i "boast" about myself? you must be taking my commet the wrong way. take a chill pill, all is well.
@NuteBoycdxx Maybe I did misunderstand you, but if I did can you please explain how you know you are "enlightened" besides a statement as shallow as "You don't understand, and I'm sorry for that." Would the Buddha ever make such a comment?
Terrence McKenna on how to understanding yourself: grammar check please? Also it's pronounced "eye-dee-ology" not "ih-dee-ology" like the word "idiot", which is what Terrence McKenna is. I don't even want to hear someone say some BS like "His mispronunciation was ironic." No it's not. That guy invented so many words to try to sound intelligent. In reality, he was a drug addict who tried to make it seem socially acceptable. It's not. It just makes you a big idiot like that guy.
@JasonSims1984 - I can't say whether or not your opinion about Terence Mckenna is accurate because im still just learning about this dude.....but.... you do sound a bit narrow minded. Why are you so quick to slap these ideas down? Sounds pretty on point to me.... and if he's just a drug addict who is trying to make it seem socially acceptable then I applaud him because there's definitely realness in what he's relating it to....(our culture and so forth).
@JasonSims1984 The fact that you see it as an attempt to make drugs socially acceptable already illustrates your "boxed in" frame of mind... first of all....there are plenty of "drugs" that are socially acceptable and totally awful for us that are pushed on us by the same people who are supposedly fighting the war on drugs... (tylonal, caffeine... processed tobacco... alcohol) are you fighting the social acceptance of the abuse of those non-mind expanding drugs too? you're probably not.
@JasonSims1984 You must be one of those people who's mind is made up and don't want to be confused with facts. Anyone who knocks different mind states, are normally the last people who have actually tried it for themselves. Some people are blessed and some are not.
@JasonSims1984 The substances that McKenna endorsed are not addictive in any sense of the word. In fact, the visionary plants he endorsed (psilocybe mushrooms, ayahuasca, etc) are very introspective and require an amount of courage to endure their personally revealing experiences.
Today's society's endorse drugs that either increase productivity (caffeine, sugar), or resist introspection (alcohol, prescription opioids).
That is where our loss of values originates, lack of introspection.
Has anyone noticed that if you keep up with the latest scientific research and developments it's all leading to what the so called "Guru's" have been trying to say for 100's even 1000's of years now, that this existence is nothing but pure consciousness.
Leary, Lennon, Love and Laughs...just a few names and simple yet complicated words that can almost clearly state that it is the experience that matters. Not the spoils or the anticipation. Live in and for the moment! You have such potential, yet 99.9% of you hide under the covers when parents speak of the monsters. Live, learn, love and then leave, Earth (TERRA) that is. God bless you all!
I think the message is, no matter how smart someone is they cannot give You the answers. We're all very much alone, and through accepting our aloneness we can generate an understanding of, and basis for, togetherness.
We must push for the full legalization of magic mushrooms. These shrooms have been used for thousands of years before Christianity for religious purposes but they are still illegal. Shame on the DEA for their war on religious freedom.
Im 16 too and i fucking love Terence Mckenna and psychoactive drugs :) I know alot of you are with me, i think its time we had another counter culture revolution, another hippy era, i would deff be down for a Summer of Love Round 2 :D
What is the painting of the grey suited people going into the grey building and the other guy wandering off into the greenage? I want to find it online but I'm not sure how to search that. Anybody know who the artist is?
First time I heard these smart words of TM... I simply had to do something with it...
Check out my "No One Is Smarter Than You" clip & original music, as the end result...
I do not agree with ALL of TM's words and ideas, which makes me totally agree to this excerpt.
Long live his (your) wisdom !

Number one learn how to spell psychedelics. Number two. Why look up to Einstein? He was an adulterous man who happened to be phenomenal at physics. Terrance McKenna? Just a man, both of them are just men. Not to be modeled after. They were just as imperfect as you. No better no worse. They chose their path choose your own you fool. Culture is your programming and you are choosing to program yourself. IDIOT!!!!

There are three types of people who support drug prohibition.
1. Those who legally gain employment, power and/or money by exploiting the victims of the war on drugs (ie. district attorneys, judges, lawyers, police officers, the prison industrial complex)
2. Those who profit directly from the black market created by prohibition. (gangsters, drug cartels, mafia, etc.)
3. Mildly retarded people who actually think that the government is protecting her citizens through prohibition.

For better or for worse, culture is here and will imprint subconscious messages in you, but I think when we observe and live above this, we are able to see a more lucid version of reality and know ourselves better

Im a not promoting a drug use, but i think it would be important for humankind to understand psycedelic drugs better. We should have more specialist like mckenna to share the knowledge. For example, think about the music business, is it a coincidence that that we dont have any Pink floyd´s, Led Zeppelin´s, Jimi Hendrix´s nowadays. I think whole human race have taken a step back since 60´s in many ways. Those days were the last time people were seeking the thruth by themselves
killedbydeath24 9 months ago
@killedbydeath24 Society is mixed bag and I believe nowadays more confused then ever- highly charged and polar. But confusion occurs most often when you have too much info (spread between conscious and unconscious understanding) that you don't know how to mobilize effectively and it is possible that certain drugs can allow novel connections between info when used in the right way. Although I am sure that this is not the most popular opinion it is steadily being recognized in mainstream society.

Mis-use of the English language ("...on how to understanding yourself...") is a poor way to begin a thought, especially when you're telling people, nobody's smarter than they are! Sorry, especially in view of all the 'likes', but this is a lot of feel-good nonsense. People ARE smarter than you. Deal.
Sure, experience matters, but there's an unwarranted (and unearned) arrogance to dismissing knowledge. You understand "what is happening" by GETTING AN EDUCATION.
WILLIAMCOOKE 9 months ago
@WILLIAMCOOKE There are a myriad of ways to become educated, peculiar to each individual. And each individual constitutes a a part of "whats happening". If your in the habit of dismissing people because you find them uneducated, you may be missing out on some education. Seriously.
SammmmmyG 9 months ago
@SammmmmyG You INTEND to use the contraction, "You're", not "Your". Yes, there are billions of people and the spirit is infinite... blah, blah, blah. Sorry, TM's glorification of drug culture is crap. US education has dropped to 35th out of 57 countries in math, and 29th out of 57 in science. Today's problems are not going to be solved by transcending out to the "inner consciousness". Kids are arrogant, without reason, and that makes them vulnerable.
WILLIAMCOOKE 9 months ago
@WILLIAMCOOKE Mis use of the English language is the point. Language itself can be used as a weapon of control. Who is to prove what knowledge is real truth? Who proves what is the real reason behind the what and why things are taught? The truth only lies within yourself. "Education" can be used indoctrination. You can steer people into thinking what is real and what is being educated. Open mind and trusting yourself is the only true education.

This is where Terence is at his best, by encouraging you to think for yourself and trust your own judgement. It is a message that can easily be misunderstood but he's essentially right. Ultimately the only thing we can take responsibility for is developing an active mind, exploring and testing competing hypothesis, and not mistaking anyone elses word for gospel.

The problem is no one is willing to stop no one is willing to give up and anything we do to give up only strengthens the doing. It is a hopeless situation. However, it is only hopeless in reference to the hope we have all been given.

Wow, he is either really bright or a fool.

McKenna isn't criticizing SMART people like Edison, hes pointing out that all the big institutions (religions, gov't) are claiming to know what is going on with god and the world, but are really FULL OF SHIT. Great quote comes to mind:
"Keep the company of those who are seeking the truth, but run from those who have found it"
PS: McKenna was neither a fool nor really bright.
He was bitchin' a total freakin GENIUS from mars!!

@NuteBoycdxx You're not enlightened either buddy. If enlightenment was easy then people wouldn't dedicate their entire lives to transforming the mind. Anyone who feels any desire to boast about their 'enlightened' status over youtube is clearly the one who should be felt sorry for.

NuteBoycdxx 10 months ago
@NuteBoycdxx I agree with this video 100%. With that said, the desire to boast of your enlightened status could arise from nowhere else other than the ego itself. Seems to me like your ego has you in its grip and is deceitfully tricking you into believing your state of mind is indeed enlightenment. I'm not questioning that you have gained spiritual wisdom. But to claim you're "enlightened" on a youtube video as a way of expressing superiority is paradoxical to the concept of enlightment itself.

Terrence McKenna on how to understanding yourself: grammar check please? Also it's pronounced "eye-dee-ology" not "ih-dee-ology" like the word "idiot", which is what Terrence McKenna is. I don't even want to hear someone say some BS like "His mispronunciation was ironic." No it's not. That guy invented so many words to try to sound intelligent. In reality, he was a drug addict who tried to make it seem socially acceptable. It's not. It just makes you a big idiot like that guy.
JasonSims1984 10 months ago
@JasonSims1984 - I can't say whether or not your opinion about Terence Mckenna is accurate because im still just learning about this dude.....but.... you do sound a bit narrow minded. Why are you so quick to slap these ideas down? Sounds pretty on point to me.... and if he's just a drug addict who is trying to make it seem socially acceptable then I applaud him because there's definitely realness in what he's relating it to....(our culture and so forth).
kmatical 10 months ago
@JasonSims1984 The fact that you see it as an attempt to make drugs socially acceptable already illustrates your "boxed in" frame of mind... first of all....there are plenty of "drugs" that are socially acceptable and totally awful for us that are pushed on us by the same people who are supposedly fighting the war on drugs... (tylonal, caffeine... processed tobacco... alcohol) are you fighting the social acceptance of the abuse of those non-mind expanding drugs too? you're probably not.
kmatical 10 months ago
@JasonSims1984 You must be one of those people who's mind is made up and don't want to be confused with facts. Anyone who knocks different mind states, are normally the last people who have actually tried it for themselves. Some people are blessed and some are not.
tonytg909 10 months ago
@JasonSims1984 The substances that McKenna endorsed are not addictive in any sense of the word. In fact, the visionary plants he endorsed (psilocybe mushrooms, ayahuasca, etc) are very introspective and require an amount of courage to endure their personally revealing experiences.
Today's society's endorse drugs that either increase productivity (caffeine, sugar), or resist introspection (alcohol, prescription opioids).
That is where our loss of values originates, lack of introspection.
