T. McKenna v. K. Wilber

A response to:

Hey Redlite, I see you are versed in Terrence McKenna's work along with Ken Wilber's. Wilber seems to speak of society and culture in a much more positive light than McKenna. You have probably studied both of their writings more than I have, so the question I pose to you is: does society oppress, suppress, mold and confine the human spirit to an existence of artificial imprisonment? Or does society give meaning, belonging and symbolic relationship to other people? Or both? I suppose that's a series of questions, but that's the quandary of the day. I love your videos. Keep it up.

mckennas philosophy is the quick jolt, or shock, to the psychic and mental faculties, a sort of lighting rod for new ideas and perceptions about the world, which indeed is very powerful. wilbers philosophy is slow discovery, carefully meditating, mapping out mental and spiritual territories, cultivating a gradual connection with higher or deeper spaces.

so the question is do you want to learn a practice in wilbers case, or do you want to download files, in mckennas case?

Ken Wilber is phenomenal and helps individuals understand and take the necessary steps to progressing as human being (practical and needed). Terence McKenna is speaking of the entirety of existence, on multiple evels of awareness, both scientific and shamanic. His vocabulary and wisdom is beyond most well-educated people. His breadth and experience have given him incomprehensible insight that melts time. To compare them is unrealistic. Both are geniuses, but McKenna is a jaw-dropper.

No he really meant CULTURES itself.

The religion is full of shit, money is printed on toilet paper, fame is worthless, the important thing at this moment is your humaness and the only thing making war on your humaness is your culture. Class boundries language boundries gender boundries

Terrence Mckenna was on another plane - truly a god, and in my mind is far more interesting every bit as if not more intelligent... and entertaining but lets be honest they are completely different and its silly to compare

@pplasqui are you nuts?

terrible ringing noise in this video. Sounds like you have some good feedback but the feedback from the noise is hard on the ears.

@pplasqui Five star motels are gaudy and a symptom of the imbalances of our world. A tent is a tent in which you have your own experience in and with nature. I'd rather go camping in a tent than spend my time in some hotel, regardless of all the amenities of the hotel.

Something you said about training the intuition peaked my interest. What do you think of Tarot in that regard?

[SammmmmyG]

I think they compliment each other really.

I'd throw Alex Grey in as a bridge between the two :)
