…in the middle of the Amazon jungle. And it said, you know, so this is going back and forth. And about that time, Kat says, I'm feeling hot. So then we go outside, and I didn't see anything. But she was clearly slipping into unconsciousness. And. And…

…suppose, and that it communicates through shedding hallucinogenic molecules into the natural environment? But one thing that occurred to me while Kat was talking about invoking and how it could be anything you wanted it to be and how it could meet you…

…think about it. We think of the 20th century as the most rapidly evolving century that there has ever been. A few years ago, Kat and I took the children to Mexico to wander around looking at the mayan ruins. We were in San Cristobal de las Casas,…

…talking serious here. Now, saving people from the grief of Pe is a major way to heal the culture. When we were living in Hawaii, Kat asked our son, how did he think of himself? And he said he thought of himself as an artist and an athlete. And I…

…computers that are just as conscious as we are and can be able to do anything that we can do? Oh, yes. Well, Kat and I did that without even a flashlight battery, just by having children. I mean, there's an epigenetic component and a genetic component,…

…be missed by us all. So, are you ready to listen to a little more Terrence McKenna? If you happen to listen to Kat Harrison's talk at the psychedelic Science 2017 conference, which I did via their livestream. Well, you heard her make a rare mention of…

…I did via their livestream. Well, you heard her make a rare mention of Terrence, who at one time had been her husband. And Kat, with a big smile on her face, said that while Terrence talked a lot about mushrooms and DMT, it was actually cannabis that…

…the dissolving of boundaries into the world, the discovery, then, of the transcendental Presence. You know, the scholastics had a notion which Kat and I used when we named our little company. The reason we named it lux Natura. What that means is the light…

…an internal state, a private musing of somebody else. And when the two things come together, the coincidence of it is absolutely excruciating. Kat had an experience. She's not here to tell it, but she went to Mexico when she was 19 and traveled all over…
