Prague Gnosis - Terence Mckenna talks to Rupert Sheldrake Pt 1/2

[Shaneanagins]

I absolutely love Terence Mckenna. One of the things I love about him is his awkward fucking entrance at the beginning of this video. It made sense conceptually. "Casual lean on mammoth head tank" however, proved more difficult to pull off then Terence had originally realized.

The "non material memory" makes me think of " the program" from the Matrix.

Wouldn't it be great if someone would post this with a better video and audio quality..??

Mckenna is interesting, but generally an idiot imho

[SuperDefaultname]

@swimmedia ..."Mckenna is interesting, but generally an idiot imho" Wow, and idiot?...i'm trying to think of some sort of rebuttal but can't make any sort of coherent connection between the 'i' word and TM, so there's nothing yet to refute...i'm short-circuited when I attempt to conceive of this. For ex., even if I was of the opinion that psychodelics are for morons who are hippies who are idiots, etc, I would still wonder what you mean with him. So, please do tell of your wierding way.

[swimmedia]

@SuperDefaultname To be fair, he's not an idiot. He's not an unintelligent man, but imho he's rather deluded. He speaks in terms of truths, but he has no evidence to support his claims. 20 years ago I was more susceptible to his kind of stuff than  I am now. Now, I want evidence, as without it all we have is a bunch of interesting ideas. We need original thinkers like him, but ppl have to be extremely careful about what they believe.

mckenna and sheldrake! OMG!

[jrak]

amazing!

[ipublica]

I will completely revise my assessment of Sheldrake's research. I see now I have basically misunderstood it. I have been criticized on Youtube for my harsh criticism of Sheldrake's theory, but I am completely in the opposite now, and will reformulate my review of his book 'The New Science of Life'. i see now that Sheldrake is a genius researcher who is beyond the traditional concepts of space-time reality. I am grateful for life redirecting me to this new learning.

[ipublica]

Important!

[charlesfrith]

Thanks for posting this video. I'm very fond of both people in it.

[zootsoot2006]

If Sheldrake's theory is correct why didn't we independently invent paper, for instance, which the Chinese had had for 1000 years before it was introduced into the West. We were certainly facing the same problems as the Chinese for which paper was the ideal solution.

[CactusGumnut]

I'm going out on a limb here but possibley because of the different races and cultures. I know his theory includes humans as one, but certain cultures definitly grab onto certain idea's much more easily. "Stereotypes" if you will.

[zootsoot2006]

Yeah, could start getting a bit dangerous if we start not only talking about different cultures but a difference in aptitude between different cultures.

[zootsoot2006]

Just realised who Mckenna reminds me of, Trotsky!

[orangeness1]

I pray we will have Rupert with us for many years to come because I don't know anyone else so able to go into this so deeply and develop it so well. Of course, in the sense that its veracity resonates within me so well, I suppose i or anyone else can also contribute in small or large ways.

[whitenightf3]

You are right I have made contact with Rupert and suggested that Chess would be a good way of testing his theories regarding telepathy. I have to say that Rupert is very open to such suggestion and he is a true scientists unlike others hiding in their materalistic ivory towers.

[xcite83]

Thanks for this one! How many "Prague Gnosis" episodes are there? I've only seen a couple out there.

[MandolinoFan]

Hi there, I'd be up to the task - not that I have that much time but sthg can surely be done

Peace out

[leezus83]

great vids, two true luminaries of western thinking.

[Gilbavel]

Funny that you can view in high quality what are essentially a sequence of postcards... but great sutff.
