Terrence McKenna on PHreaks Hackers and Humanity

[futureblade7]

06:16 - This is, for me, what it all boils down to.

[colacoca355]

The convenient thing to do now is to call the poster and anyone who agrees with this video and similar concepts of uncertainty and even discordianism, if you will - nut job. Hey guys "take of your tin foils hats!" Now they are spreading lies and creating these "tin foil hat" nut jobs like Alex Jones to intentionally blur and further smokescreen the REAL TRUTH, underlying this cesspool of this FEAR CULTURE that we live in. When are we going to get tired of living in FEAR?Will we wake up in time?

[CalumnMcAulay]

the music is slightly distracting although what he was saying was very interesting so I stayed with it till the end!

[popstone1]

does it not occur to folks who put up these videos of mckenna that you are promoting drug abuse to children? but you don't really care, do you?

[allonewordy]

[zosoispage22]

Interesting. He said "what?" 5.0 supports UFOs?

[gabehampton]

And yes, there is reality. Pot and psychedelics stimulate the creative, spiritual mind, but one has to have a lot of intelligence in their mathematical , information side of their brain to connect at a deep level through meditation, which brings new ideas and rational thinking. It helps one connect different information together to see the relationships. To reach TRUE enlightenment one must be intelligent in both sides o fthe brain. Schools don't teach much to stimulate teh creative side now

[gabehampton]

I don't get the poster of this videos words underneath the video. It has nothing to do with Terrence McKenna. There is no control from government. We are the true power, and it is where we spend our money that is important. We need to take control over ourselves and become enlightened and responsible individuals and stop blaming government. We have the power to make corporations crumble if we take away their profits by boycott. When all civilization becomes enlightened , love will lead us all.

Terence 'voices' the truth....wonder-full

[Slavestorms]

@tobiaslarsgunnar Ah yes, truth. Funny how everyone is always asking for it but when they get it they dont believe it because its not the truth they want to hear. Helena Cassadine

Search for the truth is the noblest occupation of man; its publication is a duty. Anne Louise Germaine de Stael (1766-1817), French author

The search for truth implies a duty. One must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true. Albert Einstein

A short saying oft contains much wisdom. Sophocles

@tobiaslarsgunnar

Terence Mckenna would laugh at you saying he's "voicing" the truth. Regardless, I agree, haha.

[Dennio83]

this should be in the bible

[btsumm]

I believe it is...if you read between the lines.

[briandano]

It's PHREAKS

with a PH

[JiubLink]

Note: Terrence Mckenna didn't believe in any global conspiracy.

[GordonMorrice]

Indeed. He felt that no one was in control of events. That the "strange attractor" was drawing things to itself.

[RMCrowley]

he said we were lead by the least among us..

[dbigwalker]

Turn on tune in and drop out. Been their done that. Thats not the way. We should dump the mind? Sounds psycoedelic to me.

[pathammond]

Psychedelic first of all, and we haven't been their done that. The first wave of psychedelic use created such a backlash from government that little research has been put toward psychedelics. You don't dump the mind, you dump the idea that you understand reality.

[pdballiet]

or that there is no reality. which is also a fine realization.

these words appear as they are for the purpose of cautioning the mind reading them -that such endeavors needs must be carried out in a fashion of utmost respect. Most use in america is recreational... when handling the fundamental essence of your perception, care and deep sensitivity is encouraged.

paradoxically, if one has cultivated one's character such that one feels 'ready', then the allure of such experimentation dissipates.

[fox408]

no its not!

[pdballiet]

why not just meditate.... you can release your DMT through meditation. we experience our operating system that our hardware is able to run. if you overload your hardware with another operating system you didn't properly install but peer to peer downloaded then you run a serious risk for your hardware.

true installation of software is even slower than any of these drugs, and its meditation.

[JiubLink]

Drugs and meditation are not comparable.

[pdballiet]

then I would recommend that people not discuss drugs in a fashion that attempts to relate them to spiritual awakening.

as long as they do, then meditation and drugs are comparable.

[JiubLink]

You're displeased with the association between spirituality and drugs? Because you believe that most people don't use drugs in this way, or because you simply can't.... how does that make meditation comparable particular drugs. Hell, some drugs can't really even be compared to other drugs, they are just different.

You asked: Why not just meditate?

Because if people wanted to meditate, they would do that. Some people want to experience drugs, so they do that. Some people do both.

[pathammond]

I think saying their incomparable is a bit far though. I enjoy meditation, and i enjoy certain tryptamines and good old thc. I see them as similar, not the same, but a similar process, an internal journey into the mind that is used as catharsis. Dmt/pscilocybe would be more intense of course...

[pathammond]

Using that argument, i say, in that case dmt is the safest of all drugs.

Not only is it native to the brain (software compatibility), it is also short running (less processing time, less power usage, less shorting out.

Luckily computers aren't much like minds, and it takes alot to overstress them. Meditation installs nothing, and if it does install then you're doing it wrong. Meditation should remove bad software, as should psychedelic drugs. I think of them as antivirus, not application.

[pathammond]

An antivirus with an upgraded perspective module :D

[pathammond]

Also you should know, the plants he speaks of have been used for thousands of years. I think you should read some books on the subject before commenting to be perfectly honest because you don't know enough about 5 HO DMT to comment i think. Sorry to be harsh, but you are talking about this as "drugs". You must know very little of shamanism and anthropology to make such a blunder. Taboos indicate prior use. "Drugs" as you call them are the secret history of most religion.

[JiubLink]

Please don't assume anything about me based on so few words, or my own interest/experience/knowledge and I will show you the same respect.

I've read Food of the Gods, and I've spent alot of time reading and listening to his work on the web. Seems to me like you're being pedantic...

Drug: a substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body

Still tho' I am happy to continue this conversation if you send me a private message.

[ChinoRdrgz]

a drug without the name "drug" still is. "drug" without consciousness is not.

[SDAxALLxDAY]

whats the background song, would really boost my trip

[onlypsychonaut]

thank you.

[Lifesucksdie123]

brilliant

[stargatevoyager]

great....

[skuzzlemaster]

intresting stuff, i like his stories about going to the tribe and getting dmt!

[silversobe]

Amazing
