…the dusty shaman about this Mackenna talk, and he said, lorenzo, isn't this talk from 1992? See part one, 3550 to 3620, where Terrance claimed his first DMT trip was in 66. Now, again, I'm really not clear on how that reference sets the date at 1992,…

…was in the beginning. Now I've actually got a big smile on my face as I'm getting ready to play the rest of Terrance McKenna's under the teaching tree talk because I can't wait to hear it again myself. Particularly his theory that crop circles are being…

…so that I can squeeze in the Palenque Norte talks along with the as yet unheard Terrance McKenna talks. And speaking of Terrance, let's join him right now for the third session of his August 1997 workshop, which he titled our Cyber Spiritual future. Be…

…things that we've heard him talk about quite a bit already, and yet others have recommended that I cut out everything, everything that Terrance has said in another talk. Well, I don't really know if that would be possible even if my memory was that good,…

…on the salon 2.0, as well as a couple of other announcements. Now, while I've read and enjoyed all of the books that Terrance mentioned in this talk, two of them I think shouldn't be missed. One is the long a prehistory of psychedelia by Paul Devereux,…

…you're listening to the psychedelic salon where people are changing their lives one thought at a time. And so now you've heard Terrance McKenna's rap on the people who frequented what he called the new age watering holes, and at which, I should add, he…

…time, it seemed truly miraculous. Now, one other thing that I feel obliged to comment on for any newcomers to the salon is where Terrance gave credit to Timothy Leary for the phrase find the others. If you've been with us here in the salon for a while,…

…Or at least these things are fun to talk about late at night, especially with a few doobies to pass around. So now let's join Terrance and about 25 others for this 1997 workshop. I sound like I give a lot of advice for a guy who claims the light…

…just heard, because when I heard it just now as I was preparing for this program, I had to laugh at both myself and at Terrance when he explained how I became such a grumpy old Mandev. If you remember from last week, I told you that one of the…

…a few new looks at the mind of McKenna. So today I'm going to play an edited version of one of the interviews that Terrance gave to new Dimensions radio. This one on June 10, 1983. And you can also find other of these new dimension radio interviews on…

…have had a good number of psychedelic experiences, none of us seem to have had quite the level of visual images that Terrance seemed to have. So if you do journey into entheospace someday and don't find the fabulous cities and machines that he describes,…

…salon where. People are changing their lives one thought at a time. Am I mistaken? Or at the beginning of this talk was Terrance talking about a Star Trek replicator, but he was calling it a matter compiler. Maybe I shouldn't have binge watched that Star…

…You may already be familiar with the introduction by Tim Leary, which was sampled and used on one of those cd tributes to Terrance in the early and he's got zero zeros. I guess we should call them the naughties. I don't know the aughts. Anyhow, he…

…times, but I believe it may be floating around on the web under other names. Actually, not too long into this talk, youll hear Terrance say that the name of this talk is unfolding the stone, and the talk is largely about alchemy. But I decided to stick…

…that methylates tryptamine into methyltryptamine, known as PIMT, and one that methylates methyltryptamine into dimethyltryptamine, known as SIMT. Terrance makes the whole thing a bit worse via his comments about decarboxylating muscarine into muscumole, not only…

…idiot would want to test that limit, don't you? Don't you think? However, it still was fun for me to hear Terrance pointing out the difference between synthetic substances and naturally occurring ones coming down, of course, on the side of the natural…

…there are quite a few of our fellow slaughters, like me, who from time to time were fortunate to be able to listen to Terrance and Sasha Shulgin debating this issue. In fact, I can recall one lazy afternoon in Palenque when the two of them went on…

…reality designers, have your assignments now. Well, hopefully, you're already well ahead of creating worlds better than those that Terrance was thinking of 26 years ago. But, nonetheless, did you enjoy Terrance's description of virtual reality just now? I…

…I think. I would say that we have many, many generations of work yet to be done. Just think of all the plants that Terrance mentioned in this lecture. Each one of them, I think, needs to go through a whole series of studies, like the ones that are…

…to cause you or the McKenna family any stress. That said, you should also know that never have any of the children of Terrance, nor his ex wife ever given any form of approval whatsoever to these podcasts here in the salon. And while I've attempted to…

…just love a good mystery story, and I thought that it was interesting there near the end of this conversation where Terrance explained how he saw the difference between an alchemist and a shaman. Actually, I'd never even thought about that question before,…

…podcast, where Nesheh Devineau gave a completely new description of a DMT experience, one that didn't include those notorious machine elves that Terrance has saddled our minds with for far too long. And then when he said, and it's. Not a white light, it's…

…porch, Nick took a picture of me that I used as the COVID art on the 400 series of podcasts. Now, after I heard Terrance saying that worldwide anxiety was rising, I paused the tape to see what was going on during September and October of 1995 when…

…podcast, which, as you know, you can get to via psychedelicsalon us. Now, there are several quite interesting comments that Terrance makes in this interview or conversation, and I suspect they'd have much less meaning without our knowing what happens later.…

…I didn't have quite enough McKenna soundbites to fill my promise of 100 of them. And so I'm doing podcast 399 and 400 with Terrance in effort to be sure that I capture enough of these little gems to add to your thumb drive. And hopefully nobody will…

…the emergence of hierarchy, and the transformative power of written language and shaping human history and consciousness. So now let's join Terrance and a few of his friends, who are searching for answers about the so called big Bang. Nobody need feel…

…to the psychedelic salon where people are changing their lives one thought at a time. Ah, it's really too bad, isn't it, that Terrance isn't still alive to see what he called the illusion of the control freaks beginning to fall away. Now, while that may…

…Clark at his Megatripolis club in London where some of this first took place. And you can hear one of those appearances by Terrance at the Megatripolis in podcast number 335. Now, one of the reasons that I want to be sure that you don't forget about…

…you've heard me say that artificial intelligence is the exoskeleton of the imaginations. So, once again, it seems to me at least that Terrance was onto something. But he was so far ahead of the curve that it wasn't yet in sight. And I can hear some…

…end my personal commentary for today. However, I do look forward to a continuing discussion about what I'm now thinking of as early Terrance, and to read what your thoughts are about this talk. And as many of our fellow saloners have found out, there is…

…here in the salon. Now, as for the next podcast in this new series from the Paul Herbert collection, it's an interview that Terrance gave in December of 1982, and to the best of my knowledge, this is one that hasn't been widely heard before. So stay…

…hear is I cut that section out and replaced it with one and a half seconds of silence. That way you'll figure out that Terrance is now commenting on something that someone else had just said. Now, it was interesting to me to see what kind of things…

…to him, too. Also, I want to remind you that over that same weekend in which this talk was given, the following evening, Terrance and Ralph Abraham did a two hour talk about the World Wide Web and the millennium. And while I haven't listened to that…

…a May 1991 workshop about the hermetic tradition that was led by Terrence McKenna. Well, this now marks the salon's 234th talk featuring Terrance. Obviously, he has had a big impact on me. In fact, had I never come across him in his work, I would now…

…often drifts into its own channel rather quickly. Right now we're going to hear the beginning of one of these sessions where Terrance invites questions. And after about 30 minutes or so, I'd like you to pause the recording and give just a little thought…

…all without prior preparation or notes. And you'll better see for yourself what an amazing mind Terrence McKenna had. And now here's Terrance. But now it's your opportunity to get your agenda on the floor or get clarification on what it is that you wonder…

…have thought that some of these conversations were a bit disjointed. However, had I also made a note of the different topics that Terrance just covered, my guess is that I would think it came from one of our live salons. For me, this talk by Terrence…

…as you possibly can about these magical plants and chemicals. You know, back in 1994, when we, when this talk was recorded, Terrance was recommending that you start by going to your public library. Of course, today it's much easier because all you have to…

…to listen to is the final session of a weekend workshop that Terrance McKenna gave in February of 1994. So let's rejoin Terrance and a few of his friends right now. It is the impossible become possible, and yet remaining impossible. I had this experience…

…Internet evangelist for for what was at the time the nations largest telephone company. Then in January of 1999, I attended Terrance McKenna's entheobotany conference in Palenque, Mexico, and there I met the woman who is now my wife. Six months after…

…I don't think that I need to remind you of everything else that has taken place since 1990, but my guess is that Terrance would still be saying, what the hell is going on? And rather than try to answer that, I'll save that question for tonight's…

…geek here. As you recall, this interview took place in 1999. So when a caller asked Terrence for a reference in literature, Terrance referred him to the Internet where he could do an excite search. Wow. The phrase Google, it hadn't really been entered…

…You're listening to the psychedelic salon where people are changing their lives one thought at a time. Well, maybe we shouldn't follow Terrance in the direction of Voltaire as he asked. But at times, don't you think that perhaps old Voltaire got it right…

…mouth had to do with loading the time wave software on a computer. Now, when this talk was recorded in February of 1992, Terrance was obviously still very enamored with his theory about novelty in time. Unfortunately, it led to a dead end, so to speak,…

…should watch in order to get the full impact of the conversation you're about to hear, the first of which is between Terrance and ram Dass in a somewhat noisy Prague cafe. And besides being able to watch the facial expressions on these two interesting…

…podcasts from the psychedelic salon. You most certainly will not be forgotten. And so today we pick up with part three of Terrance McKenna's September 1990 workshop that he titled history ends in Green. So, do you remember where we left off two weeks ago?…

…left in Mister T. One more thing now before I play this talk, and that is in just a few minutes, you're going to hear Terrance talk about what he calls the defunct defining dose. Now, I may be losing my memory earlier than I planned on, but I cant…

…dose. Its an interesting concept that I hadnt thought of in that way before. Maybe since this talk came closer to the end of Terrance life, its a little more mature in the way how he is framing some of his thoughts in a moment. Well join Terrence…

…the net to where it is today. And so I have to admit that I was quite pleasantly surprised to hear how up to speed Terrance and his group were about what was going on with the Internet, even though Terrence didn't seem to be all that happy about it.…

…thank you again, Miguel. This was a workshop I hadn't heard before, and at least to me it brought up some new ideas that Terrance had that I hadn't heard before. So hey, thanks again on behalf of the whole salon for doing that, Miguel. And so we'll…

…in that way. But as I was having the experience and thinking about what words could describe it, I remembered those words of Terrance and saw how they could fit. But still, it wasn't how I would describe the experience. What I'm getting at here is the…

…just never been aware of before now. But at about the 00:15 or 16 minutes mark into the the talk we just heard, Terrance very clearly says these machine elves, these dribbling basketball things. Now am I wrong or did he clearly equate the machine elves…

…one of the last, if not the very last, novel that Terrence ever Readdez was Matt's book land without evil. But get this, Terrance thought that it was an October issue, of which there apparently wasn't one that year that so influenced his young mind. But…

…web arrived on the scene, and this was twelve years before the introduction of the first iPhone. And yet here is Terrance saying things like what the electronic culture empowers is diversity, eccentricity, and a pluralistic kind of mix. Now, I think that…

…States these days. And before I say anything else, yes, I did have a little start when, at about 18 minutes into this talk, Terrance said, and I quote right now, in terms of my low scale historical vision, without the time wave, I can only see about…

…it will bring back a lot of fond memories. Now think back for a moment to the section of this wrap where Terrance was describing his technological fantasy for a virtual world representation of his own house. Well, he actually did get to give something…

…to what he was describing, and I'm not the only one that I know of who doesn't get these spectacular visions that Terrance speaks about. So should you ever have the opportunity to experience the vine for yourself, I don't want you to be disappointed…

…the visions of very worthwhile, and I should say a very spectacular experience. You know, over the past few years, we've heard Terrance go on over and over about the spectacular visions he seems to have on almost every substance. And thinking of that…

…beyond 2012, and you can find out more about that on our workshop website, which is@matrixmasters.net beyond 2012 or at www. Dot Terrance 2012 dot. Now, as you can tell, I've decided to change the format to these podcasts just a little bit this year…

…the 99%. And how is that for a segue into today's Occupy movement segment, which I'll begin with two other things that Terrance mentioned just now. First of all, his comment about debtors prisons being a thing of the past is no longer true. Already,…

…been with us here in this lawn for a while, then you may remember back to my podcast, number 472, where we heard Terrance talking about having just returned from meeting with Watkins in Palenque and that he would be returning to his home in Hawaii to…

…And dont get me wrong, im not about to throw the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. The overall majority of Terrance ideas I have always found quite scintillating. And even though I disagreed with him about the time wave, that doesn't mean that I…

…talking about a breakthrough in ways and means on such a scale that you can just march off into this art. Terrance, do you find it reasonable to anticipate that eventually human technology will succeed in producing computers that are just as conscious…

…to right now. Now that's something I've never done before, but there was this little voice in my head that sounded like Terrance saying something with a smile in his voice, something like, you really ought to check out that recording that you just…

…website where fellow saloner Miguel Fernandez posted a link to a zip file that not only contains this workshop, but also the talk that Terrance gave in Palenque in 1999. But if you want to hear that talk, you can also find it as podcast number two in…

…do admit to still retaining a curiosity about alchemy, and so I bought a copy of the chemical wedding, that novel that Terrance mentioned in last week's podcast. Right now I'm only about halfway through it, and I'm finding it really interesting. So if,…

…likely heard today's rap by Terrence McKenna before. Although I've titled today's podcast McKenna's psychedelic Rhapsody, this is actually Terrance McKenna's live talk from a rave that was documented in Ken Adams brilliant documentary Alien Dream Time. Now, if…

…can listen to it on YouTube and I've linked to it in the program notes if you want to hear it. I know that Terrance preferred doing mushrooms in silent darkness, but ive always taken music along with me and almost every time that I did them alone…

…by Terrence McKenna. And that's what I'm going to end on. So I'm going to make a few brief comments right now and then let Terrance end this talk without any more comments from me. But there are two things that I'd like to put some emphasis on and to…

…new live salon format in a future podcast. But, well, that can wait till next year. For now, here are a couple of things that Terrance is going to bring up in today's talk, and I hope that you give them some thoughts so that you can join in if you…

…of four talks from 2010 to actually be sure about what I'm going to play now is different. My guess is that in 1991, Terrance gave several workshops that had the same title. And so what I have for you today, I hope, is a completely different talk from…

…good way I should add. And that is the fact that a significant amount of psychedelic research is now underway. While Terrance was complaining about what he called the gutlessness of scientists who were afraid to risk their careers to study psychedelics,…

…I fail to actually think about what the world was like at that time. And in just a moment or so, you're going to hear Terrance talk about a world population of three and a half billion to 4 billion people. And you can tell by his voice that the size…

…something to our saloners of a more literary bent. As you most likely know already, that story by Jorge Luis Gorges that Terrance mentioned isn't universally acclaimed to be about DMT, at least according to Wikipedia. While the entry about the sect of the…

…said. Now, there's one last thing I'd like to bring up about the talk that we just listened to. And that is where Terrance mentioned the fact that many shamans speak about another dimension being a place where one can find what he called an ecology of…

…you with, however, is to let you know what I think it means for us to be a part of the psychedelic community that Terrance was speaking of. As I have said many times here in these podcasts, considering oneself to be a psychedelic person has nothing to…

…projected onto the surface of a black hole in which our universe exists. Now, for me, that fits the JBS Haldane quote that Terrance often cites. That goes, it is my supposition that the universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than…

…experiences outside the jurisdiction of the US. Anyway, anyway, I've had very similar experiences to the kinds of things that. That you, Terrance, have been talking about. Also, when I did something else, it brought me to a new space. And what I did is…

…it's unbelievable how hard it is to get through. But I tried twice, and here you are. And here I am. And also to Terrance. I used to subscribe to high times, and they had a pictorial back in the seventies of over 150 different varieties of indica from…

…little better idea of how some of Terrance's more outrageous thoughts became so widespread in these late night conversations with Art Bell. Terrance was reaching an audience of over 2 million people, all of whom were of such a nature that they liked to…

…topic, did you notice what a masterful job art Bell did by taking an offbeat question and restating it in a way that Terrance could address it intelligently. Art was really a great radio host. Well, it's time for me to go today, but tomorrow night at…

…to the psychedelic salon where people are changing their lives one thought at a time. Did you catch that part just now where Terrance said, one way to be intelligent is to be deconditioned to the propaganda we are all fed every day? As he said, you…

…take over. I'm not sure that I said that quite the way I mean it, but I think you get the idea. Remember when Terrance was talking about courage being a requirement for a psychonaut? Well, I'm here to tell you that it has been my experience that…

…tape. Guess what? The pops are still there. So either both of these digitizing machines are no good, or the microphone that Terrance used from podcast 534 onward had a problem whenever his recording volume went too high. Either way, I'm sorry about the…

…it's really quite clear. And so I'll leave it up to you to figure out that when, well, after about 14 minutes, you hear Terrance say, well, why don't we knock off then? When you hear that, I'm sure you're going to realize there's still another hour of…

…that I podcast beginning with number 27 back in February of 2006. And at that conference, in my first conversation with Terrance, he told me that I thought I should come to the entheobotany conference being held in Palenque the following January. I…

…to the psychedelic salon, where people are changing their lives one thought at a time. It was interesting to hear how concerned Terrance was in 1998 about the upcoming y two k issue that was then looming on the horizon. Doesn't that make you wonder…

…featuring that June 6, 1998, trialogue in Santa Cruz. And if I remember correctly, there were a few points in that conversation where Terrance was backed into a corner by his friends. In fact, I think I'm going to go back and listen to that series…

…the psychedelic salon where people are changing their lives one thought at a time. I hope you caught that little joke jingle that Terrance recited about, oh, I guess about six minutes or so into his rap. You know, the one that went, the demons are of…

…Nothing to see, by the way, now that we have Amazon to find old books for us, all of those old McLuhan books that Terrance mentioned just now are available once again. And I'll try to remember to put links to a few of them along with the program…

…the need to introduce himself and explain his qualifications to the audience, which I actually find quite charming. So let's now join Terrance and friends one day back in November of 1982, and listen to how they saw the world situation back then. The big…

…same year. And you can hear them beginning with my podcast, number 27, which I posted on February 4 in 2006. Now here's Terrance. Discuss the obvious flip side real implications of this idea that images can heal or make sick. You'd have some kind of…

…posting now is different from the audio file in circulation. It's about an hour and a half long and what can I say? It's Terrance. Enjoy. It's great to keep his memory alive. Now, I'm not going to podcast the first hour of this talk because a lot of…

…COBOL programmers available to free up for that work. Anyway, by the time the talk that we were about to listen to was given, Terrance was correct, it was going to be a non issue. He just didn't understand why that would be so. In fact, it was such…

…at large got wind of it. So now, after that non introduction introduction, let's go back in time to August 4, 1998, and rejoin Terrance and a few of his friends on the lawn at the big house at the Essalen Institute. And there we can listen to the…

…Eve, I'm not going to ramble on here at the end of this podcast like I normally do. Instead, I'll just repeat something that Terrance said a few minutes ago, and I think this would be well worth remembering in the year to come. And I quote, but if…

…and the multiple medications they were giving him seemed to have worn him down a bit of but while it isn't the same old 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…

…about to play was given on August 4 in 1998. And for those of you who have been to Esalen and would like to picture Terrance and his little crowd, well, this talk was given on the lawn of the big house, where those gathered could look out at the…

…regular train of thought, well, that simply blows me away. What a wonderful mind he had. Now, is it just me, or did Terrance sound like he was getting a little pissed off here about fuzzy headed thinkers? Well, there aren't many examples of it in these…

…notes for these podcasts. But before I go, I just want to repeat one more time a truth, a truth to me at least that Terrance so clearly stated just a few minutes ago. And I quote, in the silence in the darkness swept away by these alien alkaloids and…

…interview that Eric Davis did with Terrence McKenna for Wired magazine. And as it turned out, it was also the last interview that Terrance ever granted. Although there is a cd set of this interview, it's now out of print, so if you have one, it's a…

…which is a Terrance McKenna workshop that was recorded in September of 1990. I know that I sometimes try to connect something that Terrance said a long time ago with our situation here in 2016. But you have to admit that in a few minutes, when you…

…more of Terrence to come for a while, at least. Now, in closing, I'm wondering what you thought when you heard these two short Terrance McInnis sound bites that were part of the talk that we just listened to. It's really true that the the world at any…

…there were no more than 100 people there, including the presenters, and what an incredible lineup it was. We began on a Sunday. Terrance was the first speaker, and that's the first talk I'm going to play today. The next day we heard from Alex Gray,…

…the mind, just by tuning into these vibrations, it seems to me that you are doing all you need to do. So when you hear Terrance say how much he appreciates all of you, I want you to know, my dear fellow slauners, that the you he was talking about…

…used one or more of our sacred medicines. And somehow the conversation jumped to the difference between fame and glory. And Terrance said something along the lines of, well, fame is fleeting, but glory is posthumous. That's what I'm after now. Don't hold…

…there was this big silence in the room that just hung there like a huge cloud, but just for the smallest of an instant. And Terrance began to laugh like a kid who had just said a bad word or something. And we all joined in with much relief. In that…

…Terrence McKenna workshop. And we'll be picking up where we left off last week. Now, in about ten minutes, you're going to hear Terrance go on a roll. When he gets talking about the eschaton and the end of history. Today, of course, that sounds quite…

…program notes for this talk. And I guess I should also warn you ahead of time that you are once again going to hear Terrance give a description of a smoked DMT experience. And like you, I think I've probably heard it enough times by now. But this…

…the great bard he was. Or maybe I'm just imagining all of that. So you'll have to decide for yourself, I guess. Let's just join Terrance right now and hear what he has to say about UFO's. It's very nice to be here. I come in peace for all mankind,…

…McKenna had not really reached more than a handful of people on the east coast by then. It wasn't until Xandor interviewed Terrance for Mondo 2000, sometime in 1993, that I first learned about him. But out on the west coast, well, Terence was already…

…his performance that begins in just about a minute from now. And I think that you'll be happy that you did. Now, here's Terrance. Well, we have such a beautiful day today that I thought we would leave the computer inside. There's only so much of that…

…beings or something like that, probably fits a little bit better than Eros to Eschaton, but you can be the judge of that. Here's Terrance. What I wanted to talk about tonight, simply because it's the thing that is moving me to the edge of my chair at…

…having a cynical side too. And I so appreciate Gary's comments from time to time. Maybe it's some of these more grandiose statements of Terrance that have put off my friend who thinks McKenna is a little too far outd. I know I had to swallow hard just…

…solutions to these global complexities. Together, we are weaving narratives for a future paradigm. You know, it's really too bad that Terrance is no longer with us, because he would certainly fit right into the mix of speakers who will be appearing at…

…going to hear a few clicks from time to time. But at one point, I thought that the person sitting next to Terrance must have been farting. After investigating the sound, however, I found that it too, was electronic interference. Of course, the teenage boy…

…you. You're listening to the psychedelic salon where people are changing their lives one thought at a time. Although I've heard Terrance say this before, I really do like the analogy comparing psychedelic drugs to nanotechnology. In fact, the next time that…

…previous McKenna talks. However, the main talk has a lot of new material in it. At least it covers some areas I hadn't heard Terrance talk about in the same way before. And as you can see, I've titled this talk a few conclusions about life. And I did…

…Maybe some of our fellow saloners will pick up on this conversation in the comments section of our blog. About this podcast. Terrance sure didn't hesitate to stir up the conversation, did he? Well, since I'm planning on getting out another podcast in the…

…best. But it's never been an actual theory. And one last comment before we listen to this recording. As you will hear, Terrance was describing his time wave software graphs on a projection to a screen that everybody could see. Unfortunately, I don't have…

…understand that Matthew sometimes makes speaking appearances at some of our community's conferences. So, Matthew, I hope that you get to hear Terrance talking about you just a week or so after you first met with him in Palenque. And for what it's worth, I…

…actually understands what hes talking about. And well thats me. But close to the end of this talk that we just heard, Terrance was saying something about modern physics and that he thought everything arises out of fields, which I'm sure was probably the…

…lot of experience with these sacred medicines, you know how serious those two statements really are. You know, whenever I think of Terrance and Jonathan Ott at the same time, one other character also comes to mind, and that's Christian Rasch, who you can…

…In fact, they most likely had a significantly greater impact on the lives of the people who attended them than they did on Terrance. You know, I can still remember sitting in the room where the valley of novelty recordings were made. And while there, I…

…I can't even think of any others short term memory loss, but I was talking. Oh, by the way, I should tell you, Terrance and I keep meeting in the most wonderful, mythic, adventurous places. I was doing a wild tour through Germany about a year ago.…

…single one, but in fact they've all become worse. As the great Gildersleeve often said, what a revolting development this is. Timothy, Terrance and myself and a whole lot of our fellow slaughters, I should add. You were raised a Catholic and went to…

…amazing plant, and my recommendation is for you to begin with my podcast, number 81, which is an interview with the man that Terrance called the guy from LA, but he didn't name him. You see, back then, with the exception of Terence and a few others,…

…waiting for the psilocybin to begin taking effect. And about 30 minutes after first ingesting them, I put on what I'm sure that Terrance would consider to be about the worst thing that I could be listening to at the time. But for some reason, it really…

…are all still just groping around in the dark for a few solid answers about existence. And unlike some other eggheads I've met, Terrance was always able to laugh at himself. But nonetheless, he truly did have a remarkable mind. Just think about a few of…

…as if it were a work of art, I'm going to close this podcast a little differently and replay a brief comment that Terrance just made about finding your muse. As you know, shaman in all times and places gain their power through relationships with helping…

…like me, you still enjoy hearing him tell some of his stories in a new way. So in just a moment you're going to hear Terrance take off on his end of the millennium wrap. Well, he takes off actually quite early in this talk on that, but so that you…

…passed around before. So what you and I are going to listen to in just a moment is the first workshop that Terrance gave in 1996, just after he returned from that years entheobotany conference in Palenque, Mexico. Now, I wasn't there that year, but…

…pause your mp3 player and expound on that thought in your mind. Explore for yourself the implications of whatever idea it was that Terrance just spawned for you. Then once you have worked through that idea in your mind, turn your player back on, and if…

…rights are people who demand them. Well, fortunately, with the advent of cannabis deregulation around the country today, I don't think that Terrance would still say, and I quote, we drug people fold too easily. But I also think that a lot of credit for…

…was about significantly more than that one wild idea. But just to lighten things up a bit here, I'm thinking that had Terrance predicted this massive event taking place in 20, 112, based on the current state of accelerated change taking place in the…

…can remember ever hearing. Learn the flowers, travel light, and stay together. I really like that so how many of those books that Terrance mentioned just now do you have in your own library? The one book he mentioned that really intrigues me is the Codex…

…and I quote, a declaration of war against the Americans occupying the land of the two holy places. And while I doubt that Terrance picked up on this either, I think it could be argued that this, in fact, was an extremely significant event that continues…

…you'll think of them as you listen to this talk with me. Now, if you're interested in listening to the opening remarks that Terrance made at this workshop before he began the Q and A, you can find the complete recording of this on YouTube under the…

…be able to explain the concept to someone on my own. But of course, I haven't actually taken that test yet. So anyhow, let's join Terrance and a few of his friends and listen to what they had on their minds way back in 1988. So some brave soul has…

…see me right now, you would see a big smile on my face as I think about the description of virtual reality that Terrance just gave, because it's actually, well, quite a primitive concept compared to what we already have today. And that should give you…

…know is that the MP3 file was labeled 83 seven, and in the talk we were about to listen to, you'll hear a reference Terrance makes to the mayan calendar in connection with his time wave hypothesis, and that makes me suspect this talk came very early in…

…guess I'm in a bad mood today, huh? So, getting on to something a little lighter, I had to smile during that bit when Terrance was saying how at the time of this talk, at least the people at Esalen were saying that big changes were taking place there…

…avatar to the other heads present. It was an auspicious first encounter with Mister McKenna. In the late summer of 1997, Terrance and I finally made direct personal connection through email. We hit it off and conspired to make a tantalizing exchange. At…

…was into 3d representations at his Vizmath institute down in Santa Cruz. Finn seemed very into it. After leaving the farm, Terrance was off to other ports, including extraordinary, and to my mind, his peak performances overtoning with the band lost at last,…

…we agreed to reconvene in Hawaii. After that, a dream was about to be realized. As me and my friend Jim Essex, a longtime Terrance afile, arrived in South Kona in late February of 1999. The road up to Terrance's place on the hooeyeh, which is a kind…

…forest with Finn and Terrence's partner Christy Sylnas, we went into serious overdrive on the effort. The deal was to really give Terrance a deep dive into the medium of virtual worlds, connecting him into this newly birthing realm. At the same time as we…

…that indicated the large living tumor growing in his brain. Upon our arrival in Hawaii, Jim Essex and I had both felt that Terrance looked pale and unwell over our previous encounters, and he himself admitted to us that he was having dreams that even he…

…listening to this tape, we are consuming someone else's experience, namely the experience of those people who were in the room with Terrance when he did this workshop. But just how does this concept work now that we're in the wonderful world of podcasting?…

…talks of his. However, you're going to have to decide things like that for yourself, huh? Anyway, I know that we've all heard Terrance talk about the DMT experience many times. We've for, but for some reason I really like this one the best. Maybe it's…

…just a long way of saying that I really like this description of a DMT trip that you're going to be listening to, Terrance give about twelve minutes from now. In order to make sure we all understand the domain we're operating from here, I would like…

…weird. You're listening to the psychedelic salon where. People are changing their lives one thought at a time. So do you think that Terrance maybe thinks that, well, DMT might be worth looking into? I don't know about you, but there were a few riffs in…

…more than once. I don't know what else to say about that other than, well, it's really freaky. And do you remember when Terrance was talking about feeling that he was under the middle of a mountain when the DMT breakthrough occurred? Well, when he was…

…our fellow swanners, I thank thank you from the bottom of my heart. And now back to the Bayard McKenna. When we left off, Terrance, way back in 1992, had just given a pretty good description of today's cell phone as he was comparing a future multi use…

…than me to do this, but in truth, I'd love to know the answer to this. We've just heard about 5 hours of Terrance, covering anhe amazingly wide range of information, complete with references and all done without the aid of notes. Now my question is, if…

…a really good example of how the information about psychedelics made its way around the country during the eighties and nineties. Terrance would travel to various places that he called new age watering holes and answer questions just like the ones we're…

…is beautiful. And for me, it's even more beautiful with all of you being here with us in the psychedelic salon. Although Terrance didn't end this particular workshop the way I've heard him end several others, I think it might be fitting right now. So,…

…the thought popped into my head that I'd really give most anything right now to be able to hear a fireside chat between Terrance and the man I consider to be really right out there on the far edge of consciousness research. That's my good friend Zoe…

…an end date that occurs long after you're going to be dead and gone. Now, at the end of this talk, you'll hear Terrance waxing eloquent about the potential of the Internet and virtual reality, and young people today may chuckle at how simple minded it…

…peddling at the time. Can you guess that I'm a Linux guy? Well, that's enough of my side comments for now, so let's join Terrance and a few of his friends for the wrap up of his scholar in residence gig at Esalen during March of 1996. We're turning…

…here is speaking about nn DMT, not five meo DMT. Theres a big difference, as you probably know already. But getting back to Terrance in the 1990s, believe me, I was searching for somebody like him when I was living out there on the east coast of…

…I consider myself to mainly be self educated. That said, I've done nothing to educate myself about art. But as I listened to Terrance talk about Bosch's painting the Garden of earthly delights, I brought up a copy of it on my computer so that I could…

…hearing right now is from the group of the same name. And Jacques, the driving force behind Chateau Hayuk, was very close to Terrance, and hopefully one day we'll get Jacques here in the psychedelic salon to tell you his story about a visit he had from…

…on it. Yours might be different, but that's what makes the world so interesting. In our next podcast, by the way, you'll hear Terrance say, the truth doesn't require your belief to exist, but Hokum does. So here's my warning to you. If you've had the…

…be understood, it will be believed. I've always enjoyed hearing that particular rap, particularly because I think, as you just heard, Terrance had just come from the club Megatripolis and I think it probably had been his first rave experience, at least…

…the first one. What I'm not including are the first 36 minutes of the first tape. And here's why. As you know, when Terrance did workshops, he usually began each day by first asking if there were any questions from the session before. And in this case,…

…they must lead. Well, at least today, politics isn't boring. You know, I had to smile when near the end of this recording, Terrance said that he thought there may be a chance to legalize psychedelics if there was a change of administration. Well, we all…

…program. Now, some of our fellow saloners may wonder why I left in the part of the talk that we're about to listen to where Terrance was going on about all of the great things on the Internet. Duh, you say? Well, this talk was given in June of 1994,…

…so it's one I think you'll enjoy. It's always a little different each time. And as you know, this is from a workshop that Terrance held in the summer of 1998. Least you know that if you've heard the previous two podcasts or the first two parts of this…

…it. I think. I think it's around the seven minute mark of this podcast. I also thought it was pretty cool to hear Terrance admit that going up on a psychedelic journey can be quite terrifying. You know, on several other occasions, I heard him say that…

…day. And before you know it, the way forward for you is probably going to be quite clear. So press on. As we just heard Terrance say, you know, this train is bound for glory, or maybe not. You know, I think it's really important for us all to keep…

…actually, it was the 1 August, to be exact, and it took place at the Omega Institute upstate in Rhinebeck, New York. Terrance and Ralph were both conducting separate workshops at Omega that weekend. At least I know Terrence was, I'm pretty sure Ralph…

…their music and I'd like to send a special thank you and my love to our good friends who sent us this recording of Terrance that we played for you today I'm sure the entire tribe appreciates that thanks again, you guys and for now this is Lorenzo…
