…evening. As you'll hear, this talk took place in February of 1992, which was a year of major events in the life of Terence McKenna. One of those events was the publication of a new book, his first one after the publication of the mushroom growers guide…

…that a number of times in a number of different ways. But I'll let you be your own judge about the words and wisdom of Terence McKenna. For my part, well, I'm quite certain that he believed a good bit of what he had to say. And before I go, I'll…

…now, I'll play you just a little snippet of this talk to remind you of how in tune with today's times the thought of Terence McKenna still is. You can get a lot rowdier than you are. You can make a lot more ways. There's been too much politest and…

…forget it, for our newest members here in the salon, our new fellow saloners, I should mention that you just listened to Terence McKenna speaking about both DMT and ayahuasca. And I think it's important to keep in mind that DMT is actually the primary…

…this when we can be listening to it directly from the bard's mouth instead? So here once again is the one and only Terence McKenna. Well, the world and its double is how we styled this. This is simply a high visibility, flashy way of reminding people…

…of view, is that in the process of this going on, the time wave has gone from being the mathematical hallucination of Terence McKenna to a vetted formal having been hammered on and had its tires kicked by some of the best mathematicians in the business.…

…but alas, other duties called them first. And so, once again, you and I are going to hear a few more thoughts from Terence McKenna. In fact, we're going to pick up where we left off last week with now the Saturday morning session of a weekend with…

…our ability to create partnership paradises and more comfortable surroundings. Give it some thought, why don't you? And now let's rejoin Terence McKenna and a few of his friends on a Saturday morning in the month of February, 1992. I am answering your…

…And then tape three a stopped. So now, here is where tape three b picks up with the one and only Terence McKenna. Of morning glories, which contain these ergonomine like compounds. And this is the hawaiian baby woodrows. Again, the interesting thing is…

…to begin today by apologizing for the misleading title of this podcast. Now, it is true that you will be hearing from Terence McKenna in this podcast today. For example, even though this talk was given over 25 years ago, he nonetheless does have a few…

…we hear this talk, I'll be back with a few more comments and several emails from fellow saloners. But first, here is Terence McKenna, talking sometime back, oh, 15 or 20 years or so ago, about shamanism and the archaic revival that is now well underway.…

…the heavy stuff for a while. As I mentioned earlier, we may be coming to the end of the line on new talks by Terence McKenna, and while I still have a significant amount of material from the Timothy Leary archive, as well as some interviews I want to…

…rationalize my not getting a podcast out last week. Anyway, here we are, and I think you'll find today's lecture by Terence McKenna quite interesting. For example, one of the topics he briefly touches on is immortality, otherwise known as life after death.…

…at Alt Hypertext. And the first website had yet to be built. So back in 1991, these talks, and especially these talks by Terence McKenna, were our best and in some cases our only source of esoteric knowledge about such things as DMT. So let's listen, I…

…Before I forget it, if you're new here to the salon, you may not be aware of the trialogues that were held between Terence McKenna and the two men that he mentioned in this talk, Ralph Abraham and Ruperthenne Sheldrake. But if you've been with us here…

…as has been pointed out to me in various and sundry forums, it's been a couple of months now since we have heard from Terence McKenna. So I dug around a little bit and I think that I've come up with something that we haven't yet listened to here in…

…of self reflection and of things that, self referential things that and the paradoxes that can come out of that. And I find Terence McKenna a kind of self referential person. He's spoken to us at least once, twice, I think, right. And each time I have…

…for asking me back for a third time. Perhaps the third time is the charm. We'll see here. My name is Terence McKenna and my training is basically in shamanism and botany and ethnography. And my interest is in hallucinogenic drugs, especially plant…

…I'll be reading myself, and it won't be very expensive. Now, let's get on with today's program, which is a lecture Terence McKenna gave about James Joyce's monumental novel, Finnegan's wake. And if you're wondering why I decided to play a talk about…

…for the face licking part. That was a new one for me. So now let's begin with another question for the bard, Terence McKenna. You might want to talk about the copyright of genetic copywriting or genetic coding. I don't know if you've heard that Monsanto…

…an important part of the salon. Now, for today's program, we are actually going to hear the remaining 40 minutes of the introduction Terence McKenna gave to a 1998 workshop. And the first part of which is what we listened to last week. To be honest, had…

…particularly in listening to Terrence McKenna, I still hear things that prompt yet more new ideas for me. So let's once again join Terence McKenna coming to us from the summer of 1989, and listen to what he has to say about a wide range of topics,…

…bouncy Terrance that we know and love, I think that you'll be amazed, as I am, at the power of the mind of Terence McKenna, along with his ability to make complex ideas understandable, both of which powers stayed with him right up until the end. Now…

…fill in some of the history that has led up to where we are at this particular moment in time. But first, let's rejoin Terence McKenna at the workshop he gave in May of 1993, 21 years ago, which is actually before many of our fellow saloners were even…

…know, Terrance's brother Dennis has committed to undertake the momentous task of writing the definitive story of the life of Terence McKenna, as seen from the closest perspective possible, that of a brother who shared many of the adventures that we've heard…

…along with a very detailed description of the project. And here's a summary of it that he has on that page. Terence McKenna is a legend in the psychedelic community. He is remembered as a radical philosopher, futurist, raconteur and cultural commentator. He…

…is one of the prime originators of the 2012 Mythos, with all its attendant apocalyptarian anxiety. I am the younger brother of Terence McKenna. I want to write a memoir telling of the real story of our intertwined life together over the last 60 years and…

…I'll leave you on your own to try and dig out the meaning of what I just said. Now, here's more. Terence McKenna, do you think it's any. Possible connection between this phenomenon and reincarnation? And what reincarnation? Well, we talked a little bit…

…get on with the party. And what a better way to kick off a party of the mind than with the mind of Terence McKenna saying things like, sex on sex. Psychedelics is the Mount Everest of the experience. Now, if that doesn't get someone interested in…

…still hard for me to believe that in less than seven months he was gone, at least in body. But the spirit of Terence McKenna, the psychedelic spirit, remains alive and brighter than at any time he was walking this lovely little planet. And it is you,…

…I'm saying is that you don't need the video age to understand this talk. How's that? Now, at last, you say, here is Terence McKenna, who will proceed to give us an overview of the past 50,000 years of human presence on this planet. Many times today,…

…seriously. But as you listen to this rap, see if you can figure out just what it was that made the lectures of Terence McKenna so compelling that here, 30 years later, we are still fascinated by them. So now, here once again, is Terrance McKenna. The…

…a feeble excuse for sending a little more of the Bard McKenna your way, but what can I say other than here is Terence McKenna speaking at a UFO convention, possibly the one we've heard him talk about in past podcasts. I'm not sure exactly when this…

…a very positive picture about that substance. So let's see what the state of psychedelic information was like back then, as we joined Terence McKenna and a small group of friends for a weekend of mind candy in the early winter of 1991. This is the first…

…will take you vicariously on an interesting trip. And I'll put a link to it in today's program notes. Now let's join Terence McKenna and a few of his new best friends for the conclusion of this workshop. It's Sunday morning, it's ten minutes after ten,…

…it's amazing to me the basic notion here I think is an idea of radical freedom. I mean this is not a cult of Terence McKenna. It is not a drug cult. It's a cult of curiosity, if it's a cult of anything. And what you're supposed to understand when…

…or not. But the engineer in me is having a lot of fun thinking about these things. Now. A week ago, I posted the following Terence McKenna quote from this talk on my Patreon site, and I quote, we asked for it, but we never knew we would get it in…

…for a moment. Is tossing a few coins any better than shuffling a tarot deck? I simply dont understand intelligent people like Terence McKenna who put so much value into a fortune telling book. The only reason I can figure that Terrence was into it was…

…difficult to understand, but if sustained, probably catastrophic for this theory. So what we are privileged to hear today is Terence McKenna, perhaps at one of the most fragile moments in his professional life. He truly didn't know at the time what…

…high with the next installment, which, of course, will also be my next podcast. You know, sometimes I get asked why I call Terence McKenna a bard and a poet. Well, should someone ever ask me that question again, I'm just going to point them to that…

…Matt Palomari and I had a few days ago. And I'll introduce that after we hear the following short talk about shamanism by Terence McKenna. It's only about 18 minutes long, but I think you'll hear a couple of ideas from Terence that we haven't heard here…

…after Terrence died. So let's begin with an introduction of Terence by Tim Leary and then go right to a 1995 talk by Terence McKenna that he called the state of the Stone. I'd like you all to welcome Timothy Leary. Harris McKenna means a great deal to…

…be another talk from the Leary archives. My intention is to try to mix it up a little bit with Doctor Leary, Terence McKenna, and and selections from other speakers and conferences that I hope you're going to find interesting. And before I go, I want…

…thing. Heidelberg. And there in a restaurant, while I was having a sandwich before performing with some cybernetic people, there was Terence McKenna. And it was just. It was just so perfectly Hessa journey to the east. And so we meet again here tonight.…

…and gives it to humanity and says, be illuminated. And now for our illumination and our pleasure, please join me in welcoming Terence McKenna. Good job. Well, I want to thank Tim. That was a wonderful introduction. I'm sure I wouldn't. I know I wouldn't…

…simulate the origin of life and more about that in another talk, but it's all very nerdy stuff. But I met a guy named Terence McKenna in the mid to late nineties, and the reason I met him is he was. I didn't know anything really about psychedelics and…

…by software, but tricked you into thinking that it's a thing. You've got elves. And I'll run this little piece of from Terence McKenna will explain what elves are. And you have egos. Now, what all these three things are is non corporeal entities. They…

…right now, but so far I haven't been able to find any of them. And what to me seems so unique about Terence McKenna was the fact that he combined several sometimes contradictory roles. You know, he was a mystic, a philosopher, a poet, an intellectual,…

…will be. Anyway, that's probably something worth thinking about if you get a spare moment. But enough of my rambling. Let's join Terence McKenna on a March day in 1996 as he begins a weekend workshop at the Esselin Institute in Big Sur, California. If…

…seem to interest me very much. The only thing that gets me up and going in this heat is to listen to something from Terence McKenna that I haven't heard before. And so right now I'm going to play the next part of the June 1989 workshop that I began…

…the series that I began two weeks ago. And now for this final session of this workshop today we're going to hear Terence McKenna waxing eloquent about topics that range from Marshall McLuhan to the I Ching in a workshop that was recorded sometime in…

…CIIS in April of 1995. And this may be one of the clearest instances of how difficult it was even for somebody like Terence McKenna to predict the future back then, even the relatively near future. And you'll understand what I mean in just a moment when…

…fold too easily. But I also think that a lot of credit for us not folding anymore begins with people like Terence McKenna, who were fearless about speaking out about the importance of these wonderful substances back when it really wasn't very safe to…

…being so long winded today, but if I don't concentrate on getting this show on the road, we'll never get to today's lecture by Terence McKenna. So let me first give a great big thank you to James A, Rob P. Anaketa K, and to Larry T. For their very…

…all of us who gather here in the psychedelic salon each week. So now I hope you're up for a little more of Terence McKenna. Although I realize that some of our fellow saloners really appreciate talks by Mark Pesci and others. I'm kind of in a McKenna…

…and is trying to do so by selling his new cd titled Nature loves Courage. That's all one word. Just now, we heard Terence McKenna talking about his botanical preserve in Hawaii and his hope for it to be a place where some of these rare and exotic…

…Bernardo to join periodically for an evening of mind candy. Now finally getting to today's podcast, we're going to pick up with Terence McKenna back in April of 1995 when he is puzzling over the question of how psychedelics lost their central place in the…

…of the name is one that's done in a small group and with a seasoned ayahuasca leading the ceremony. Now, like Max and Terence McKenna, my preferred method for using our sacred medicines is to do them alone. And since Max has not yet had the opportunity…

…Seems like we've known each other for a long time. But anyway, after talking with Diana, she said she had all these tapes of Terence McKenna she'd be happy to give to me. And so I got this big box filled with tapes from her. And some of them are…

…that state of affairs to the spread of this information today, and I think you may agree that it was a combination of Terence McKenna and the Internet maybe that we have to thank for the resurgence of knowledge about the role of sacred medicines in the…

…of sacred medicines in the formation of human civilization. At least that's my take on it. Enough of me. Now here's Terence McKenna. My name is Terence McKenna and I'm a philosophical gadfly and shamanologist, writer and lecturer. Ruth assured me that you…

…formation of human civilization. At least that's my take on it. Enough of me. Now here's Terence McKenna. My name is Terence McKenna and I'm a philosophical gadfly and shamanologist, writer and lecturer. Ruth assured me that you were so familiar with my…

…to the psychedelic salon where people are changing their lives. One thought at a time, we become what we behold. So says Terence McKenna, and so have said many philosophers who have come before him. I can remember the first time that I heard that thought…

…a real thrill to hear this wonderful tapestry of ideas in Terence's own words. So without any further ado, why don't we join Terence McKenna and a few of his friends at Eslin Institute in February 1984 and hear what he was thinking about way back then…

…case. Here's a blurb on it. Recorded in 1996 in Mannheim, Germany, this talk was recorded during the time that Terence McKenna and Sheldon Rockland were filming the documentary for Mystic Fire, which was originally titled Coincidencia, a union of opposites.…

…to the psychedelic salon, where. People are changing their lives one thought at a time. At times I've been chided about calling Terence McKenna a poet, but when he was talking about the cycles of ice ages during the past million years and likened them to…

…psychoactive plants and medicinal plants from around the world, director of the Botanical Dimensions foundation in Hawaii. Please welcome Terence McKenna. Well, it's very heartening to see so many people here tonight to celebrate an event like this. Talking…

…almost 25 years old, and that certainly might give you a little better appreciation for the quality of the mind of Terence McKenna. Now, you might want to brace yourself for one particularly long stretch in which Terence goes into minute detail about his…

…came across the psychedelic salon and dope Fiend. Even after 15 years of a psychedelic search for truth, even after hearing Terence McKenna and his spacetime recordings years ago, I still felt lonely. Other than my wife, my belief seemed so out there that…

…an article that Amara wrote for Mondo 2000 a long time ago that for the very first time I learned about this guy named Terence McKenna. Had Amara never written that article or had I not come across it, there's a good chance that you and I wouldn't be…

…summary of how Bruce plans on pulling these seemingly diverse topics together. On this, the 10th anniversary of the passing of Terence McKenna, we can now look back at his capernaum explorations of the mine with some hindsight and ask many questions. What…

…him. I may not agree with everything he said, but I've never been so captivated by any other speaker as I have been by Terence McKenna. He was truly one of a kind and we were so lucky that he appeared in an era when his thoughts could be captured…

…commented about the somewhat high degree of risk associated with speaking about psychedelics in the previous decades. And as you listen to Terence McKenna with me right now, try to keep in mind the fact that this talk was given in June of 1994. And…

…out. So you're getting it just as it is. Now. We're going to pick up where we left off in this 1992 workshop as Terence McKenna begins doing what he did best. And that is, he would take a simple little question from somebody in the audience and then…

…there are still a few more fellow saloners that I'd like to thank. But first, let's get on with what for me was a talk by Terence McKenna that I'd not heard before. It was sent to me by Brian P. Who also sent about 15 hours of McKenna MP3 s that I…

…one other announcement today and that is to point you to a website that has quite, quite a few transcripts of talks by Terence McKenna. And if you are a sound artist who uses clips from some of Terence's talks, well these transcripts are a great way to…

…doesn't seem to be any other plan on the horizon. Arthur Kessler, who probably never thought he would be quoted by Terence McKenna, a very conservative character, you'll recall he was a Marxist who turned on Marxism and led a very interesting intellectual…

…of a hodgepodge of thoughts, I think you'll find Terrance's comments quite interesting. And so here is the one and only Terence McKenna. Well, welcome to in the valley of novelty. I see familiar faces, unfamiliar faces. These things are most interesting, at…

…Terrence's time wave theory. And from there, well, I tell you what, let's just listen to the master, the one and only Terence McKenna. The original prediction was that there would be a deep plunge into novelty in 1996, that it would be the deepest plunge…

…that kind of work I think is to listen to some of Terence McKenna's mind bending lectures so, without any further fanfare, here is Terence McKenna Trying to figure out what in the world is going on can you all hear is? That good can you hear is? That…

…people of the 20th century in my opinion he's definitely in the top ten so, without any further ado, here is Terence McKenna and his 1999 palenque talk that he somewhat offhandedly titled linear societies and nonlinear drugs. Well so then let me turn…
