The Invisible Landscape by Terence and Dennis McKenna (ebook)

The watershed La Chorrera experiment of 1971 is theoretically justified in the McKenna brothers' difficult yet evocative 1975 book The Invisible Landscape: MInd, Hallucinogens, and the I Ching . The experiment's goal was to "bind molecules into a human being," so that the collective knowledge of humanity embedded in our DNA could be realized as holographic imagery. The book begins with Terence's reflections on the shaman, those members of preliterate tribes who travel into alien realms and bring the news back home. By means of stropharia cubensis mushrooms and what proved to be relatively low doses of ayahuasca, the McKennas induced an artificial shamanistic schizophrenia that evidently drove Dennis mildly psychotic, and which Terence claimed kept him awake for ten nights of telepathy, communication with the mushroom spirit, and a UFO visitation.


During his visionary vigil, Terence received preliminary instructions regarding a theory of "temporal resonance," which he claim as "my only original idea" and centerpiece of his thought. As he related at the Open Center, the mushroom informed him that "What you call man, we call time," and suggested he take a very close look at the I Ching . By quantifying permutations of the book's hexagram sequence, McKenna arrived at a fractal "map of all eternity." Although the time wave appears to depend on a subjective interpretation of what exactly constitutes important historical changes, McKenna makes a compelling argument for the steamrolling concrescence of novelty, innovation, and the increasing complexity of life on earth, an intuition any halfway conscious person's daily life should easily bear out.


According to McKenna, there's a "rough ride ahead" as we travel time's fractal rollercoaster to the year 2012, when something--maybe something good, maybe something bad--is scheduled to occur. It might take the form of rapture, an interplanetary collision, the invention of time travel, or a manifestation of high gnosticism in which the death of matter sparks a spiritual renewal. Strangely, not every listener agree with McKenna's intuition. "You went to Catholic school. Grow out of it!" complains a frustrated listener during his workshop, and McKenna either doesn't hear or ignores him.

  • The man that lived, and was not a victim of mind manipulation

    through the modern media, and other methods.

    What a treasure: to live your life with your own thoughts, and oppinion

    about everything, and to see the things as they REALLY are.

    Priceless...

  • star wars, how about the mothership is being made and is known as CERN, certainly at 22 miles in radius it has properties of much. 'John Searle free energy machine that flies'

    unless you suppose all the data, mining, and what not gone in to the proget was to smash a couple of atoms together - couldn't they have just used 1 of many more hadron colliders ? -
