…that he doesn't even realize how blindingly intelligent he is. And of course that intimidates me. Now in this conversation with Terrence McKenna at esalen in 1985, if you listen closely and have read schism, Ralph's Latest book I think you'll see that way…

…better with psychedelics. They're all great but I think psychedelics augment this in a way that's you just can't ignore it. Terrence McKenna used to say going to the grave without having psychedelic experience would be like going to the grave without having…

…Rupert Sheldrake asks a question that leads to a discussion of stellar pathology among other cosmic topics in a trilogue. With Terrence McKenna and Ralph Abraham that was held at hazelwood house in England Sometime in 1993. So just the question really is:…

…as you already know if you've been listening to this entire series comes from the seventh tape of the trilogues between Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake that were held at esalen institute in 1989 and 1990. This tape was simply titled…

…kinds of different ways all around it. But one of the key people who started our collective thought line that way was Terrence McKenna, and he made some predictions and prophecies and things. I think Michael has some thoughts on Mr T and his impressions…

…some of the gaps that Ralph mentions. With that we'll get right into the second side of tape six of the trilogue with Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake that was held at esalen in 1989 or 1990. The set of ten tapes weren't really clear…

…cut out a few parts of this section of the trilogue. So now we'll pick up where the last podcast left off, with Terrence McKenna on a riff about redefining what he means by science, and then they will finish their discussion of the unknown force field…

…to find their way home. And at about the halfway point which will be the beginning of side b of this tape, Terrence McKenna introduces a new topic: time. So now let's join Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake at hazelwood house in England…

…any further ado, here is a brief soundbite from the end of side a of tape 5 in the series of trilogs with Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake that were held in the month of September in 1989 and again in 1990 at the esalen institute…

…chance to listen to any of them yet myself but their speakers include Albert Hoffman, Houston Smith, Joseph Campbell, Marilyn Ferguson, Terrence McKenna and a whole bunch more. It looks like a great resource and thank you, James for letting us all know…

…all of you wonderful souls who make these podcasts possible. And now for today's podcast I'm going to pick up on the Terrence McKenna workshop that we heard the first part of two podcasts back. As I mentioned back then this workshop took place in…

…if I could, but for now I just keep looking up and taking it one handhold at a time. And that's why the words of Terrence McKenna Mean so much to me. They are my handholds on this exciting journey that you and I are now on. So what do you say?…

…understand all of the references being made. So with that thought in mind I want to play a brief little soundbite of Terrence McKenna from the previous podcast. And that involves opening our lives to chaos in whatever way, becoming much more a part of…

…weeks or so now I've been putting out three podcasts a week, two of them being part of the trilogue series with Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake and the other program each week coming from other sources. The program I started to put…

…a trial log that was recorded on June 8th 1998 in Santa Cruz California where Rupert Sheldrake, Ralph Abraham and Terrence McKenna were talking about Rupert's Hypothesis about morphogenic family fields. When we left off last week Terrence McKenna was just…

…Ralph Abraham and Terrence McKenna were talking about Rupert's Hypothesis about morphogenic family fields. When we left off last week Terrence McKenna was just saying that he thought perhaps the concept of a family field was only a metaphor and not an…

…beginning to form in ways that I hadn't thought of before. So just as a reminder I'm going to play a short bit by Terrence McKenna from the last podcast and it's one I like to call the cataracts of chaos. Do you remember it? We then become the atoms…

…are equally captivating. But you've just got to admire them for having the courage to share the stage with a wordsmith like Terrence McKenna. I don't know about you but I'm really enjoying listening to these trilogues and I guess actually if my email is…

…after we first hear today's program. As I said this is the final trialogue in a series that was Rupert Sheldrake and Terrence McKenna, and for those of you who aren't really big fans of Terrence's thinking, well there's an added little treat for you in…

…by that I mean I'm right now going to take the easy route and play the second tape from the June 8th trilog with Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake. The tape runs about an hour and 20 minutes but I'm only going to play part of it…

…This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. So are you ready for some more trilogues between Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake? When we left our three merry triloguers in the podcast before last, they just had…

…the imagination. We begin with Ralph Abraham going into the history of the word and the concepts about chaos and then Terrence McKenna joins in with his thoughts about how chaos and imagination are connected. If you caught the last podcast from the…

…that involved a deeper understanding of his consciousness. Well at about a half hour into the dialogue you're about to hear, Terrence McKenna begins to wax poetic about the lone fisherman on a tropical sea with his net, where he's referring to the net…

…nice image to use when beginning a psychedelic voyage, don't you think? So now let's listen to Ralph Abraham and Terrence McKenna discuss chaos and imagination, chaos and the imagination. Now someone asked about the relationship between the chaos on plane…

…with you again now as promised in the last program I'm going to play the remaining 30 minutes of a trialogue between Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake that they held in Santa Cruz, California in June of 1998 and their topic as you'll…

…Paul Hey thanks again your generosity is greatly appreciated. As promised, today I'm going to pick up on the trilogues between Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake. That took place sometime in 1992 and if I'm not mistaken they were held at…

…at esalen institute on the California Coast and I didn't think I'd ever say this but by the end of today's trilogue Terrence McKenna comes away sounding like the conservative one of well. First of all I guess I should warn you and particularly any new…

…clusters and so on that I was reminded of Olaf Stapleton's Magnificent novel star maker and then a few minutes later we heard Terrence McKenna also comment about that book coming to mind. And if you haven't read it I think it would be worth your time…

…and Rupert Sheldrake were discussing creativity and chaos and this is from the first series of trilogues they held along with Terrence McKenna at esalen in September of 1989. There's one little hitch here I guess and that is that the first 12 minutes…

…today's program is so long I'm going to dispense with most of my usual chatter and join you in listening to Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake talk about skepticism and the balkanization of epistemology. Well what I thought it would be…

…talk that I hadn't planned on podcasting until later this year. I know that I told you that the next Tri log between Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake would be the one that I believe to be their final Tri log, which was held in June…

…become the basis for some interesting discussion in the program notes for this podcast. It's a trial log and is led by Terrence McKenna, who establishes the topic as shamanism as a forecasting tool, but then he seems to or the whole discussion kind of…

…if you aren't completely locked into thinking that the millennium consciousness changeover date was the year 2000. So let's join Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake for an afternoon trilogue on the campus of esalen sometime in 1992, and we'll…

…truncated a bit, but I think you'll be able to piece it together as not much seems to have been lost. Now here's Terrence McKenna. Okay, Derek, so we'll have the same format as this morning, and I guess I'll be up to bat this afternoon, the notion…

…sign off here in just a minute but right after I do I'm going to play for you two short soundbites. One is of Terrence McKenna and his poetic version of the naked high tech ape of the future, and immediately following that I'm going to play a cut…

…the gaian spirit of the planet. Okay this is a perfect place to end. I think McKenna talked about this a couple of years ago. Terrence McKenna and I used it last year as kind of what is the zippy vision of where we want to go to what is the balance…

…here in the psychedelic salon. So today I'm going to pick up where we left off last week with the trilogue between Terrence McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake and Ralph Abraham. While you won't hear Ralph on this particular program, which is side b of tape one in…

…for podcasting. The tapes were labeled 1989 and 1990 and I've been told that these conversations which took place between Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake actually took place first in September of 1989 and again the following year. But…

…I guess you can tell that I heard them loud and clear. In fact with all of the podcasts that I've done of Terrence McKenna talks it was kind of a Surprise that it was my interview with Sheldon Norberg in podcast 64 that brought the complaints from…

…whole thing. He said I just did everything to conform as best I could and I didn't even think anymore. And then he found Terrence McKenna and went out and got a job, saved money and moved out to California and he's a very happy young man now. But you…

…but first I know you're probably as anxious as I am to hear today's show. In the last podcast you heard Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake introduce themselves and explain their concept for these trilogues. In today's program I'm going to…

…begins with Rupert Sheldrake speculating that if the universe is evolving, then laws of nature are evolving as well, which leads Terrence McKenna to ask where these laws of nature were before the big bang. And as you can tell, these guys aren't afraid…

…trilogue was to proceed. I should warn you that there is a brief break about halfway through this trilogue, just as Terrence McKenna was in the middle of something one tape ended and the next tape apparently didn't begin recording immediately. However I…

…is to me a perfect example of artistic ways that soundbites from these podcasts can used be. He's taken a short Terrence McKenna Piece and not just put it to music, but he's also used some very interesting audio techniques to emphasize the underlying…

…works. Tonight I have a piece for you called the birthright. It's based on a series of short lectures done by the bar Terrence McKenna. They were all posted at the psychedelic salon podcast a couple of months ago. It was a show number 120. I'll put the…

…of trilogues because today we're going to hear the first side of the last tape in this series. But when you hear Terrence McKenna begin by saying that this is the last of the trilogues, please don't despair because there are really many, many more hours…

…this series is titled the apocalypse an interesting title, don't you think? So without any further introduction let's hear what Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake have to say about the apocalypse as seen from their perspective in 1989. Well…

…Well today's program is the first of what will be a long series of podcasts of the famous trialogues held by Terrence McKenna, Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake. I first heard about these lengthy conversations when I read a little book that provided a…

…book was published in 1992, I didn't come across it until the summer of 1998 when I was attending a workshop that Terrence McKenna was holding at omega institute in upstate New York. The bookstore there had all kinds of interesting items that us east…

…east coasters seldom came across books like Sasha Shulgin's Pekal along with copies of most of Terrence's work. Since Ralph Abraham and Terrence McKenna were going to be conducting a dialogue one night while I was there, on a whim I bought a copy of…

…you that there's a lot more to it than can be said in just a few words. In fact it was so much like a Terrence McKenna talk that I'm gonna go back and listen to it again to discover what I missed when I was thinking about something. One of said…

…and we did the alchemical virtual POW Wow in active worlds and the viewers can find it. It's a video on YouTube called Terrence McKenna on the natch being an avatar with Finn and me and christy and it's a tremendous little piece from his house in…

…talk we are about to hear ken Adams's talk and he's going to talk first about creating the movie that he titled the Terrence McKenna experience. Now ken is one of the most modest men I know and so he doesn't really clearly mention the fact that for…

…Well this is exciting. We're getting ready to close out the day here with ken Adams who is the producer of the Terrence McKenna experience movie. Ken's going to talk about the movie and then we're actually going to screen it and we'll get the crystals…

…montage of thousands of images and videos, illustrations, ephemera, artifacts and it's catalyzed by a series of videos that I shot with Terrence McKenna between 1989 and 1993. I want to thank tom also. Tom is the guy that puts together a lot of the…

…it basically I went to one of my favorite LSD dealers and asked him if he knew how to get in touch with this guy Terrence McKenna and his number was literally laying there next to the phone so I called him in real time, immediately got a hold of him…

…attention on things that we're currently ignoring. So Terrence was a trickster. I almost titled this movie friend of elves, Terrence McKenna. Friend of elves because there are people in our community that have complained about Terrence because he didn't like…

…about it. Now back to today's program and it was what I consider to be the very best and fairest critique of the work of Terrence McKenna that I've yet heard. Well the main thing I want to say is that I hope that you will now be inspired to question…

…those dusty old audio tapes: ken babbs of Mary Prankster fame, Timothy Leary, Laura Huxley, Martin lee, mark McLeod, Oscar Janiger, Terrence McKenna, Richard Evans Schultes and Dr Albert Hoffman, and I think there may even be one or two others. So you can…

…and I think that you will be too at least if you have secretly wanted to be a little critical of our dearly departed Bard Terrence McKenna but maybe we're a little too timid to speak ill of him. Well we all have feet of clay my friends and I suspect…

…Google Dennis McKenna Kickstarter and you will learn about his campaign to write a book. About his experiences with his brother, Terrence McKenna, One of the most radical philosophers of our time. So yes if you get three things out of this program, one…

…had with his brother internal and external adventures. And number two would be to inspire you to research the ideas of Terrence McKenna Further. And number three would be that you might totally change the way you think about plants. So yeah we're going…

…his newest creation, he's right now raising funds on kickstarter to tell the story of his adventures with his famous brother, Terrence McKenna. All right back to the interview now to tie all this together. At the beginning you kind of said that…

…state of affairs sometime back in the 1980s. And then I'm going to follow this short discussion with part of a talk that Terrence McKenna gave sometime that was probably within a decade of this q a session and after you've heard them both, see if you…

…host here in the psychedelic salon. And today I'm going to play the third recording that I have from an August 1985 Terrence McKenna workshop that was held at the Essalen Institute near Big Sur, California. And when I first tried to listen to this tape,…

…going to be publishing a biography of Terrence that Graham is now putting the final touches on. And the working title is Terrence McKenna, the Strange Attractor. Now when I told Graham about these yet unheard recordings, he asked me to do what I could to…

…More listenable. And my guess is that this may also have been the first workshop in which Paul Herbert began recording Terrence McKenna. Fortunately, he got really good with recording as time progressed. And like you, I've listened to a lot of Terrance's…

…is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. And today we're going to continue with the next segment of the Terrence McKenna talk that I began playing last week among the usual wide range of topics that come up in one of Terence's talks.…

…they are now coming true today. So let's join him now and you can decide for yourself how close to the truth Terrence McKenna could actually be in predicting the future when his predictions were grounded in the default world. Also, you mentioned dye boxes…

…late in life than never to learn it at all. I also have to give one more plug to the idea that at heart, Terrence McKenna is a poet. In particular, I'm thinking of his description of what it's like for him when first entering into DMT space. He was…

…leading experts in several areas involving our sacred medicines. And so now here is a continuation of a workshop with Terrence McKenna and Kat Harrison. Kat, I know how the wave all comes together and accelerates toward this transition point. I never…

…from the very bottom of my heart. Now, I don't want to say too much in the way of introducing today's talk by Terrence McKenna, because, well, it's got something for everybody. And if I focus on just one aspect of this kind of wide ranging lecture, I'm…

…again, you can find the up to date information about that@arrowwid.org. dot. Now, each week I try to extract something from these Terrence McKenna talks that, for one reason or another, tickles my mind. And this week was a real winner for me. Now, if…

…on your face like me, well, then you may be more like me than is really good for you. But this week's little factoid about Terrence McKenna is one that I truly love. And I did check this out as best I can. And it appears to be true that Terrance…

…This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. So, are you ready for a little more Terrence McKenna I've actually received several comments about my new approach of presenting edited versions of Terrance's talks, thousands of which, by…

…like I'm there myself, but without the dust. Okay, I've got to stop talking here or we'll never get to another conversation with Terrence McKenna. And this one took place in June of 1994. And you'd better hang on to your seat because this is a total…

…as a podcast. And that's where we have a lot of work to do. Before I come to the end of these Terrence McKenna tapes next March, let's take a best case scenario, one where there are hundreds of audio files submitted for consideration, an embarrassment…

…will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. In closing, I'd like to replay the last few minutes of the Terrence McKenna talk that I played last week. It made a big impact on me, but I'm afraid that it may have been drowned out by…

…from my favorite speaker here in the salon, Terence McKenna. But I've decided to change my mind a little about podcasting. New Terrence McKenna talks here and here's why. On my seven day train ride across the country and back a few weeks ago, I spent…

…And I should say, along with almost every other utterance Terrence ever made. In case you've never searched YouTube for Terrence McKenna talks, you're in for a really big surprise, I think, because, well, there's more Terrence out there than probably most…

…an emphasis on the old. And I'll have a bit more to say about that after we first listen to today's talk by Terrence McKenna. But first, I'd like to thank some of our fellow saloners who didn't take the past three weeks off and instead made donations…

…was recorded now in 1996, and my guess is that I think you're probably going to find it quite interesting. So now let's rejoin Terrence McKenna and some of his friends on what I assume was a beautiful August day in 1996. What did you make of it? I…

…p.m. i returned to listening to the talk that we just heard, and only 10 seconds or so after I hit play was when Terrence McKenna said, maybe you're thinking of Dune. Now. The reason that comment stopped me in my tracks was that at that very moment, I…

…going to end off 2012 and kick off 2013 with a talk given in the summer of 1990 by the one and only Terrence McKenna. Now, in a few moments, when you hear Terrence talking about the possibility of pouring all of our information into a global database,…

…So my hat is off to the bard McKenna, not just for his mind, but for his courage as well. And so now lets join Terrence McKenna on a July evening in 1990 and hear what was on his mind at that time. We closed last night, or we discussed yesterday a…

…of these podcasts, and I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Now, I realize that some of our more dedicated Terrence McKenna fans are going to be mad at me again for cutting out the part of the talk that we're about to listen to, where…

…makes you think, doesn't it? But let's not listen to me right now. Let's listen first to the now legendary introduction of Terrence McKenna by Timothy Leary, and then listen to the bard McKenna as he talks about alchemy and his thought. That, and I'm…

…dead concert? Yeah, and they're coming over later. They're just ending now. So, believe me, we'll have an infusion of wildness there. Terrence McKenna means a great deal to me. I would say he's one of the five or six most important people on the planet.…

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

…of the work of Paul Stamets, who has some great lectures of hope on how mushrooms can save the world, etcetera. He knew Terrence McKenna for the last couple of years, as I have come to understand it. Well, actually, I have had the pleasure of meeting…

…scheduled talk got put on hold, I received a package in the mail from Bruce Dahmer and it included a dvd of a talk that Terrence McKenna gave with Fraser Clark as the MC at the Megatripolis club. It was an event back in the summer of 1994 in the UK.…

…but right now I figured it best to just get this podcast out before any more delays. So now let's join Fraser Clark, Terrence McKenna, and a room full of very noisy and talkative people in the background. While Terrence does his best to shout over the…

…another. Or maybe I'm just getting carried away with myself again. I'll let you decide for yourself. So now let's join Terrence McKenna on a Saturday afternoon in December of 1989. Okay, well, is there anybody who was left unbalanced by the brutal…

…lives one thought at a time. So what's it to be? The salvation of the planet or plywood? Those prophetic words by Terrence McKenna were spoken over 25 years ago. But do we have an answer yet? From outward appearances, the amazonian jungle continues to be…

…there. Now, out there, where I was living on the edge of the tribe at the time, I still hadnt even heard about Terrence McKenna, or DMT for that matter. Yet there was just enough information about Ayahuasca that I kept searching for a way to experience…

…end of time might look like. So sit back, strap yourself into your seat, and let's enjoy one last ride with Terrence McKenna here in 2009. I dare to hope. Having deconditioned myself from my catholic childhood and gone through existentialism and all that,…

…don't wait too late in life like I did. Well, that's all for today, and next week we'll be hearing from someone other than Terrence McKenna and Timothy Leary. I'm not sure who it's going to be yet, but I'm sure we're going to like it. We've gotten so…

…to us here in the salon. Nur, we really appreciate your efforts. The recording itself is an interview that Elizabeth Gipps did with Terrence McKenna at his home in mid 1985, and as far as I know, it hasn't been posted on the net before. But of course,…

…with these podcasts is very much appreciated. Now, when we left off in the previous section of today's workshop in podcast number 502, Terrence McKenna had just begun his wrap that we all know as his stone date theory. What I've done today is to cut out…

…keeping these podcasts alive on the net. Now onto today's program, which is the next to last installment of a workshop that Terrence McKenna held at the Eslan Institute here in California late in 1997. To be honest here, I almost skipped this section of…

…been wondering where I've been these past ten days, I'll tell you all about it after we first listened to this lecture by Terrence McKenna. And in it, he's going to give us a survey and a history of psychoactive plants around the world. You know, in…

…the comments section for this podcast. Or maybe I should just google it some more, huh? Anyway, let's now give a listen to Terrence McKenna, not in the guise of a psychedelic warrior, but as the eggheaded professor, a role that he seemed to be born. For…

…if I remember correctly. So, hi, Paul, if you're still out there. Oh, and here's a spoiler alert. The prediction that Terrence McKenna makes about happenings on December 22, 2012. Well, they did not, in fact, take place. And that's for those of us…

…large that bipedal apes should be able to understand how the universe works. Still less likely is it written anywhere that Terrence McKenna should be able to understand how the universe works. Were you here the other night when we talked about the black…

…to today, but, well, those plans had to be pushed back a bit. And so I'm just going to play yet another talk by Terrence McKenna for you today. This one is the beginning of a weekend workshop that was held in December of 1989. And today I'm going to…

…after that often heard rap. Now, if you are new here to the salon, don't worry. There are over 100 other talks by Terrence McKenna that I've podcast. And should you go back and listen to some of them, I'm confident that you're going to hear his…

…tribe. I don't know what we'd do without all of you right now. And speaking of someone I can't do without, it seems that Terrence McKenna also fills that bill for me. So we'll pick up where I left off in my last podcast, and that is with Terrence…

…Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. And we are once again about to listen to another recording that Terrence McKenna gave in October of 1995. And I should remind you that when you hear Terence giving what was the then accepted story…

…sort of a high level view of what was thought to be true back then. So now let's listen to yet another Terrence McKenna podcast where he doesn't miss a beat and begins by distinguishing between smart and stupid people. And his distinction, by the way,…

…new information. Now, for today's program, which is the second of my podcasts of the Paul Herbert collection of the words of Terrence McKenna. As far as I know, this is the first time this particular talk has made it to the Internet, but I could…

…to program 316, which was actually the prelude to me podcasting this complete Paul Herbert collection of the words of Terrence McKenna. And then considering that podcast and the comments resulting from it, I'm hoping to continue our group's discussion of…

…in white satin, but I really like that song. And for me, at least, that's also how it goes sometimes with the Bard Terrence McKenna. While I dont always agree with some of his lyrics and I cant understand some of the others, there were some songs that…

…future time. Everything we can possibly imagine is about to happen. Wow. Now that really blows me away. So, back in 1995, Terrence McKenna says, and I quote, everything we can imagine is about to happen. Well, the about was much longer than he might have…

…a much bigger stretch than this. Realistic. Maybe once we train a model with every recording and piece of writing that Terrence McKenna produced, we can ask it about his possible preconceptions about AI. But even then, we've got to accept the fact that…

…you think we have a controlled society. You think we tell people what to say, go down to Esselin and hear what Terrence McKenna is saying. We tolerate this. What clearer proof do you need that we are magnanimous, generous, open hearted and liberal? We…

…and Aldous Huxley. But I think that you're going to enjoy hearing again from Timothy Leary, Myron Stolaroff, Gary Fisher Frazier, Clark Terrence McKenna, and Sasha Shulgin. So what I'm going to do right now is to play a brief clip from one of the talks…

…it's time for us to travel across the Atlantic and hear from a man who, in my opinion, did even more than Terrence McKenna to revitalize the psychedelic movement. And he is Fraser Clark, who actually became a legend while he was still alive. Many of…

…I said earlier, I think that Frazier may be even more important to where we are today. Than Timothy Leary and Terrence McKenna, particularly in regards to the worldwide dance and festival communities. As the really old timers know, Terrence stepped out of…

…the salon featuring the Bard McKenna. So how, I wondered, do I come up with something short that gives a good representation of Terrence McKenna? Well, for me at least, Terrence was the man who brought DMT into the light, so I wanted to play one of his…

…mp3 format and link to them on that slauner's page that I just mentioned. So what I've done right now is for this little Terrence McKenna bit is to, at random pick a few sound bites and place them both before and after the DMT bit. There's no real…

…as the major change to our world within the next 18 years, but instead listen to it in a new context. In 1995, Terrence McKenna was postulating that this change would come on December 22, 2012, and his reasons for this, at the time at least, seem to…

…goes out to Bill Hur, who loaned me the complete set of recordings that his friend Paul Herbert made of the many Terrence McKenna lectures and workshops that he attended. In all, there are over 160 tapes in this collection, and I'm in the process already…

…So without any further ado, here is the Bard Terence McKenna on a November day in 1982. Tonight we are going to hear Terrence McKenna. The big issue these days, and nothing to do with this talk, is this idea of self reflection and of things that, self…

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

…to make one more observation about the talk that we just listened to. And that is the fact that back in 1982, Terrence McKenna was already getting up in public and saying things like escape into the dream. Escape, a key thing charged against these drugs…

…at how relative it is yet today, and here's a spoiler alert. Before 30 seconds of his talk is passed, you'll hear Terrence McKenna say, and I quote, if you can put on a glove and some iPhones, end quote, that's right. Terrence McKenna was talking…

…you'll hear Terrence McKenna say, and I quote, if you can put on a glove and some iPhones, end quote, that's right. Terrence McKenna was talking about iPhones already in August of 1991, which was over 15 years before Apple finally got around to naming…

…most likely wouldn't have spoken about after his diagnosis of terminal brain cancer. So let's get back to the one and only Terrence McKenna as he begins to discuss the core of the oyster. Obviously, when you evolve inside an animal body localized in space…

…is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. And today we're going to listen to the final session of a yemenite Terrence McKenna workshop that somehow found its way to me. And the good news is that in the weeks ahead there may be even a…

…then, of course, not nearly as strange as things are today. The other day a friend of mine asked me why I thought Terrence McKenna became so popular on the speaking circuit back in the day. And considering how offbeat some of his ideas were, it's. Well,…

…well, Terrence was the source of the psychedelic community's morphogenic field. Using Rupert Sheldrake's idea, it's hard to believe that Terrence McKenna has now been gone for almost a quarter of a century. However, at this very moment, his spirit remains…

…listening to the psychedelic salon, where. People are changing their lives one thought at a time. And so that was how Terrence McKenna began his weekend workshops. You know, last week when I posted that 1994 talk by Terrence, I was thinking that perhaps…

…today's talk, which, of course, is the final segment of 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,…

…I have. In the next few weeks I'll be playing talks from several other people. But have no fear, there is still more of Terrence McKenna to come this year. And if you still want to listen to more about alchemy from Terrence, you can go back and re…

…of what was being discussed, 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…

…he's into. And I quote, are we sharing the planet with something older, wiser, and deeper than we are, end quote. So asked Terrence McKenna over 35 years ago. I think you can see why his talks were so fascinating back then. At the time this was…

…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 McKenna could have been given recently, not over 35 years ago as it was. So in another 35 years, I wonder if people will…

…last month's technical problems set us back a little bit. Anyway, right now I want to play the second half of the Terrence McKenna lecture that we started listening to yesterday. As you know, this talk was given on the hawaiian island of Maui in February…

…off limits. So far, there's no law prohibiting other kinds of discussions about these substances. And that is exactly what I think Terrence McKenna was getting at when he said to come out of the closet. You know, it doesn't mean that you do or say…

…and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. And today we're going to listen to another talk by the late, great Terrence McKenna. Some of the thoughts that he'll be passing on to you today include, and I quote, you could almost describe psychedelics…

…lives. Okay, enough philosophizing. Let's get on with the show. Now, as you already know, we are about to hear once again from Terrence McKenna. And this recording comes to us through Bruce Dahmer, who had it sent to him by a friend who had recorded it…

…or two to post with the notes for today's program. What we are now going to hear is a March 1999 appearance by Terrence McKenna on Michael Kranzie's forum, which is a show on the NPR station KQED. And so I want to thank Michael KQED, Bruce Dahmer,…

…statistics. It's everybody's opinion. I certainly think people are having more and better sex than they were having in the fifties. Terrence McKenna, our guest, and we're going to talk to him, as I said, about a whole range of things here. You know,…

…local, confined in time, and fairly manageable. Of course, it's simply a projection for opinion. No one knows we're talking with Terrence. McKenna, and I want to go to your phone calls, and we'll do that momentarily. Just a quick question, though. When you…

…a unity of fantasy rather than a unity of love and work. All right, you're listening to forum. I'm Michael Krasny. Terrence McKenna. Let's go to you on that. Well, this is a standard argument, meditation versus drugs. I think there's a misconception about…

…enough. So, in celebration of being back online and in my podcasting mode, I'm going to kick it off with a new recording of Terrence McKenna, one that's never been on the net before, at least as best as I can tell. This talk came to me from our…

…because, well, if it wasn't for you, I still wouldn't be doing these podcasts. And appropriately, I'll begin with another talk by Terrence McKenna. A friend of mine gave me some old tapes that he had, and he told me that Terrence gave this same talk,…

…subsequent history of psychoanalysis and therapy has sort of teased that out. The best vision of the future will win. So says Terrence McKenna. And if you've joined one of our live salons lately, you already know that my vision of the future is one in…

…this is going to be a short podcast, but I hope it's going to answer two questions for you. Number one, what Terrence McKenna talks do I recommend for somebody who's never heard him before? And two, legal questions about drugs. And that's what I'm going…

…50 or more people online at any given time. It's a really great place to find the others. Now, let's talk a bit about Terrence McKenna. If you've been with us here in the salon for a while, you are already know a lot about Terence. After all, during…

…suggestions that I've received and I came up with my own. Right now I'm going to play eight short selections from several Terrence McKenna talks and when I return, I'll tell you which podcast they're from. However, as you listen to them right now, you…

…own way. And I'd like to play that short rap for you right now. I think McKenna talked about this a. Couple of years ago. Terrence McKenna and I used it last year as kind of what is the zippy vision of where we want to go to? What is the balance…

…to podcasting. After a somewhat long interlude, I'm now today going to get back to playing another recording of some old Terrence McKenna material that I picked up from YouTube, and it took place sometime in June of 1992 during the 12th International…

…And what I'm going to play today is the first section of this video that begins with a conversation between Terrence McKenna and Ram Dass. Then that is followed with an interview with Angela Serrin, who Terrence McKenna describes as a professional…

…with a conversation between Terrence McKenna and Ram Dass. Then that is followed with an interview with Angela Serrin, who Terrence McKenna describes as a professional in the field of neo shamanic anthropology. As it happens, I actually have the vhs…

…that took place in Prague over a decade ago, and even though the conversation is between two certifiably psychedelic thinkers, Terrence McKenna and Ram Dass, I'm afraid that if you listen closely, you're going to think that they too are focusing on…

…realize that I don't need to point this out to you, but didn't you find it quite interesting that back in 1994, Terrence McKenna was already calling into question the then current black hole theory. And if you've been paying attention to the news and the…

…I'll just get right to it and save my personal remarks for after we first listen to another part of a workshop that Terrence McKenna led in February of 1992. And we'll pick up with Terrence telling the story of what took place in his mind immediately…

…Now today we're going to get to compare last week's podcast, which was from the final session of a weekend workshop that Terrence McKenna led in May of 1990. Well, we're going to compare that with today's Talk, which features the opening session of a…

…Terrance life, its a little more mature in the way how he is framing some of his thoughts in a moment. Well join Terrence McKenna and a few friends on a February weekend in 1994, which means that the Northridge earthquake that hit LA was still very…

…very fresh in everyone's minds, for what that's worth. Also, as we will hear shortly, this was just one week before Terrence McKenna got his very first Internet connection. So let's join him now for the introduction to the last weekend workshop that…

…his very first Internet connection. So let's join him now for the introduction to the last weekend workshop that Terrence McKenna led before getting his first personal connection to cyberdelic space. Tonight, to basically get people recognizing each other and…

…let that gross you out just because, well, Madonna was a lot younger back then, as we all were. Anyway, we just heard Terrence McKenna and a few friends back in February of 1994 talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly potential of this new…

…just now, I decided that it would be best to just play the remainder of this talk all at once. It's a talk that Terrence McKenna gave in 1993. Now, I think that he gave a similar talk on several occasions that year, and most of them most likely…

…see if this gives me any new ideas about some of the things he talks about. And of course, that's what I love about Terrence McKenna. Each time I hear him talk, I seem to hear something new, even if I've heard the talk before. Now, since this talk…

…Now getting on with today's podcast, I hope that you'll be pleased to learn that I'm about to begin another series of Terrence McKenna podcasts. These are from a September 1990 workshop that he titled history ends in green. Now I'm going to play this…

…you don't want to wait for me to podcast all six tapes here in the salon. As often happens with these talks by Terrence McKenna, even though they were given quite a long time ago, there are still many parts that ring true. Yet today, for example, early…

…exponential cascade of unstoppable effects. So now let's listen to some of the other things that were on the mind of Terrence McKenna on this September evening in 1990, which was just a month after Iraq announced its annexation of Kuwait, and Bush the…

…up there in the North woods, who came to mind during one of the riffs that we are about to hear from the bard, Terrence McKenna as we continue listening to a workshop he led in February of 1992. Why did they, why did the English suddenly decide that…

…Well, I've got a couple more announcements to make, but I'll save them until after we first listen to today's talk by Terrence McKenna. And this is the final session of a weekend workshop that Terrence held in early August 1997. And since it was a…

…cyberdelic space. This is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. And I hope you aren't getting tired of Terrence McKenna yet, because today we're going to hear the next to last section of the CIIS workshop that we've been auditing for…

…interest to you. Now, let's get on with today's program, which, as you already know, is the next installment of a workshop that Terrence McKenna gave at CIIS over the weekend of November 5 and 6th, way back over 20 years ago in 1988. So let's pick up…

…November 5 and 6th, way back over 20 years ago in 1988. So let's pick up where we left off last week when Terrence McKenna was about to answer a question about ayahuasca visions. Yeah, devil's advocate, if I can for. A minute, about this whole idea of…

…good about what I'm doing. And so now let's get on with the show. Now, if you notice the title of today's Talk by Terrence McKenna, you most likely know that this talk has been floating around the net for a long time. In fact, there are over 30…

…most important reason is that, well, I really wanted to hear something from Terrence today, and sadly, my own stock of Terrence McKenna recordings that has been sent to me by several of our fellow saloners, well, it's now been completely depleted. I've…

…to me when I heard it again when I was previewing it yesterday. I don't know about you, but for me, listening to Terrence McKenna rap eloquent on range of topics that include such statements as, and I'm quoting, we're literally at the end of our rope.…

…In fact, we're going to pick up where we left off last week with now the Saturday morning session of a weekend with Terrence McKenna that was held back in February of 1992. I found it interesting that one of the questions that comes up during this talk…

…here in the psychedelic salon. And if you're like me, it's, well, it's always a good time to listen to another talk by Terrence McKenna. As you will hear him mention in just a minute, this talk was given at a time when the Netscape browser had just…

…were all unscripted and just sort of flowed as the mood of the group and their questions moved him. So now, here again is Terrence McKenna. I should say, I guess, a little bit about myself, since this has sort of, over the years, turned into a kind of…

…greatly appreciated. Now, today we're going to hear the last part of the April 1986 workshop conducted by Kat Harrison and Terrence McKenna under the teaching tree at the Ojai foundation in California. And once again, I would like to thank Michael Dacertio,…
