Terence K. McKenna (1994) Packing For The Long Strange Trip

Presented: Starwood Festival

This Mp3 has been doing the rounds as Starwood. It's a similar talk and given around the same time as 'Rap Dancing Into The 3rd Millenium' which is of higher audio quality and can be heard here.

My notion of what the psychedelic experience is for is that we each must become like fishermen, and go out on to the dark ocean of mind, and let your nets down into that sea. And what you're after is not some behemoth, that will tear through your nets, follow them and drag you in your little boat, you know, into the abyss, nor are what we're looking for a bunch of sardines that can slip through your net and disappear. Ideas like, "Have you ever notice that your little finger exactly fits your nostril", and stuff like that. What we are looking for are middle size ideas, that are not so small that they are trivial, and not so large that they're incomprehensible. That middle size ideas that we can wrestle into our boat and take back to the folks on shore, and have fish dinner. And every one of us when we go into the psychedelic state, this is what we should be looking for. It's not for your elucidation, it's not part of your self-directed psychotherapy. You are an explorer, and you represent our species, and the greatest good you can do, is to bring back a new idea, because our world is in danger by the absence of good ideas. Our world is in crisis because of the absence of consciousness. And so to whatever degree any one of us, can bring back a small piece of the picture and contribute it to the building to the new paradigm, then we participate in the redemption of the human spirit, and that after all it what it's really all about.

Terence mckenna was pure, unadulterated PUNK ROCK ANRACHY

@BobBurnnquist True-say BB.

@BobBurnnquist Man I couldn't agree with you more! That was the best description of Mckenna's philosophy, although I would argue that it is more alternative techno punk rock anarchy! LOL Either way Mckenna was a modern and epic anarchist in our culture and it's too bad most people are not smart enough to appreciate him but nonetheless those of us that do should be extremely grateful.
