Reclaim Your Mind

http://www.MindofMcKenna.com Terence McKenna Audio Portal and Transcripts

Terence McKenna -

"Catalysts to say what has never been said, to see what has never been seen. To draw, paint, sing, sculpt, dance and act what has never before been done. To push the envelope of creativity and language. And whats really important is, I call it, the felt presence of direct experience. Which is a fancy term which just simply means we have to stop consuming our culture. We have to create culture. Don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time, where you are now, is the most immediate sector of your universe. And if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, you are disempowered. You are giving it all away to icons. Icons which are maintained by an electronic media, so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion. And what is real is you and your friends, your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, and your fears. And we are told no. We're unimportant, we're peripheral, get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that, and then you're a player. You don't even want to play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world. Where is that at?"

So what so we do to fight back or to change this big game of cultural diversion?

[veritasluxmea2]

It's up to each individual. Realize the relativity in culture. Reclaim your mind, think for yourself.

Man,why did all these great minds get taken out of the world too early?

They left an incredible legacy but still,one asks "why"

@yeeahboi1234

Means wake up....Be yourself, not who the corp/gov media wants you to be.

Do what you feel, not what your told.

Think for yourself.

Be not afraid, you are a god, a creator with unlimited potential.

Use it, and change your life along with that of others!
