Interview: Hawaii, October 1998 (Terence McKenna) [FULL]

http://alchemicalarchives.blogspot.com/

Terence McKenna describes Novelty Theory to director John Hazard with an elaboration of its core principles involving hyper-complexification and the compression of Time. He holds forth on the correspondences between the structure of the DNA molecule and the Chinese I-Ching, then shows how his notion of an Archaic Revival leads from the theories of mind and the art movements of the early 20th century to the Shaman as the quintessential figure of the 21st century, with psychedelic substances being the bridge between these worldviews.

By way of explaining why he's finally releasing this footage, Director John Hazard has the following to say:

"On meeting Terence: I had just finished shooting a film which profiled George Wallace for American Experience, and I was looking for a subject for a film that I might make that would engage me in a compelling way. I stumbled upon Terence and Novelty Theory, and I liked the correspondences between his work and the Mayan calendar.

Terence agreed to work with me, and I went to his home on the Big Island of Hawaii to conduct what I assumed would be the first of several interviews. We were just beginning to work together when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

I've always believed that my interview with Terence worked especially well as a long form conversation, because of his gifted way with language. When Jeremy Narby began his 'Awakening the Cosmic Serpent' Evolver Intensives sessions, I was struck by how engaging his long form interviews were, and I noticed how week after week his guests would tell a story about Terence. I'm inspired to release this interview on Reality Sandwich within the context of Jeremy's Evolver Intensives.

With the psychedelic movement undergoing a renaissance, many in the new generation, the core participants who are finding their way to the Evolver/RS nexus, were children when Terence conducted his interview with me. I think this audience may consider his remarks to be prescient."

@lightfoot320 Listen to Terence, watch Terence, rewind what you hear Terence say. Explore the sciences that Terence speaks of, and the Systems in which he mentions. But remember what Terence said. " No-one is smarter than you are" Infact, here is the link.. please hear this and know that it was not Terence that made sense. IT WAS YOU!!!!! FILL IN THE REST U---tube.com/watch?v=rMNAOk1bM­Dw

I really wish he was here in physical form. We could really use his POV now. No one alive today can explain it like him. The things he spoke of are even more important today than over 10 years ago. A timeless philosipher. Listen.
