…my world, it's in ways other than through Facebook. Now, the reason I want to add my comments at the beginning of a Terrence McKenna talk is that if I put my comments in a standalone podcast, well, not nearly as many people will download it. That's…

…and through it ive already learned about books and videos that id not known about before. For example, I didnt know that Terrence McKenna once published a limited edition book of only 75 copies which he sold for $2,500 each. The book is titled Synesthesia…

…to the psychedelic salon where. People are changing their lives one thought at a time. Do you think that back in 1991, Terrence McKenna was already having a premonition that the day would soon arrive when the whole world would be on pause, causing us all…

…in this video. So I took that soundbite and sent it to ken Adams who, as you know is the creator of the New Terrence McKenna experience video which I'll also link to in the program notes. Anyway what Terrence said reminded me of ken's work. So I sent…

…work, his contributions to Internet technology were immense. So now let's get back to where we left off last week, when Terrence McKenna, in a May of 1991 workshop, was waxing eloquent about alchemy and the hermetic tradition. And we'll pick up where the…

…salon and I want to begin today by letting you know that you have most 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…

…well, you really should make a point of doing so. Not only is it a deep look into the life and times of Terrence McKenna, the film also presents itself in some really unique ways that I think will inspire young video enthusiasts to maybe reach for some…

…be understood, it will be believed. I still enjoy thinking about that quote. Now, after boss drum, much to his own amazement, Terrence McKenna became a feature on the rave circuit and out here on the coast and in Hawaii. He frequently performed with Lost…

…are really the way to experience the musical interludes. However, from an historical perspective, I think that this live performance by Terrence McKenna is not only one of his best, it's also, at least in my opinion, relevant to the world that we're living…

…know about you, but it seems to me that the old metaphor about the world being on fire is no longer a metaphor. Terrence McKenna was way ahead of his time, but maybe his time is now. All right, tonight for your edification and amusement, three raves,…

…really been gratifying to have you behind me. Now, in just a moment, I'm going to play today's somewhat brief talk by Terrence McKenna. While there were still a couple of questions left in this recording from an October 1992 workshop, I decided that they…

…they weren't interesting enough to end this podcast on after what I consider to be a really great rap about drug safety 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…

…back when in the middle of January, I said that I was going to give you a little break from my playing so many Terrence McKenna talks and that, well, it might even be summer before I brought him back to the salon? Well, guess what? I couldn't wait…

…good chance that I already played this talk before. You see, way back in April of 2010, I began a series of four Terrence McKenna talks that were titled Hermeticism and Alchemy. And these talks were sent to me by one of our fellow saloners along with…

…it seems that some of his ideas back in 1987 when this talk was given, are still quite relevant yet today. So let's join Terrence McKenna for a little clarification of the ideas that he spoke of in my last podcast. Oh, and just a little heads up, in…

…soon as I finish recording this podcast, I'm going to spark that little baby up and join you for a listen to the Terrence McKenna workshop segment that I'm about to play. Now, sometimes when I mention the date that a particular talk was given on, I…

…feeds. So anyway, I was scrolling through the podcast listing and it seemed to me as if every other podcast featured Terrence McKenna. Well, in fact, today's podcast marks the 230th time that Terrence has been featured here in the salon, which means that,…

…that next podcast title and I think you'll see what I mean. Now, before I play the recording of this May 1990 Terrence McKenna workshop session, I want to alert any of our fellow saloners who have read Greg Egan's most excellent science fiction novel,…

…that psychedelic substances have to cause damage to our psyches. No, today's expert is none other than the one and only Terrence McKenna. Now, many of us have probably had the difficult experience of being around somebody who has had a psychotic break…

…like a category five mindstorm, if you know what I mean. So I hope that you listen closely to this talk by Terrence McKenna, in which he explores some of the potential dangers that come with psychedelic experimentation. Of course, he also tells a few…

…Hope to see you there now for today's program, which is the second half of a conversation between Art Bell and Terrence McKenna on the coast to coast all night radio program. Well, in this segment, Terrence takes questions from listeners who call in…

…the moondog, but it still can be extremely interesting if you're into topics that are a little off the beaten path, as Terrence McKenna was back in March of 1998 when he and Art Bell began taking questions from listeners around the country. Let's join…

…finally the entire thing blew up, creating probably a new island or new portions of an island, but in the process erasing Terrence McKenna and everybody else. Well, you know, people have only been here a thousand years or so. And what went on in the…

…let me bring on one of these happy folks right now. Wild card line. You're on the air with the ruler of the world, Terrence McKenna. Oh, great. This is Las Vegas. In Las Vegas, you're going to also have to yell at us. Oh, I'm sorry. That's all, John,…

…break here. Clock says I got a break, so I got a break. We'll be right back. All right, once again, here is Terrence McKenna. Do you remember Michael Dukakis chance? Yes. Didn't he run for something? Yeah, he ran for the presidency, and he was a fellow…

…I'm really excited about some of the new programs that I'll be podcasting this year, and I think that there are already enough Terrence McKenna talks here in the salon to last us for a while. But next week I'll be playing the last talk in this workshop…

…next week's podcast, along with a few other items. But first, let's get on with today's program, which is yet another talk by Terrence McKenna. However, I guess I should first mention that I'm kind of running out of new McKenna talks to play, and as you…

…the beginning of Today podcast. And maybe this is a bit too fanciful, but as I listened to the beginning of today's talk by Terrence McKenna, I suddenly felt as if I was in a chalk room of a math where a hundreder was just beginning a lecture. And if…

…it would be fun to begin this year. Bye. Playing a conversation that took place between the radio host Art Bell and Terrence McKenna. And this took place on the 19 March in 1998, which was just two years before Terrence's untimely death. And I suspect…

…cut a commercial out, but I don't think it should be much of a bother. So now let's join Art Bell and Terrence McKenna, two interesting characters who are unfortunately no longer with us in person, but their conversation still lives on. And so let's see…

…would lead you directly to these 25,000 hits of blue santos. So see, you got to listen carefully, all right. Now comes Terrence McKenna from the hawaiian islands. And he comes in a very interesting way. Terrence, welcome to the program. It's a pleasure to…

…my dear sainted mother sometimes said, everything has changed, but nothing is different. I also found it interesting that 20 years ago, Terrence McKenna and Art Bell on what was then considered to be a radio program that was out there on the far edge.…

…website for any possible updates. Now, getting on with today's program, I'm going to play the Q and a session from the Terrence McKenna lecture that I played last week. The only edits I've made to this part of his talk is to cut out the…

…better to do than to chat with a few of us non party people on that night. However, speaking of parties, how about we rejoin Terrence McKenna on a May evening in 1990 and see what kind of a party he can stir up in our minds right now. So let's just…

…fellow saloners, and speakers from those talks include Sasha Shulgin and Jonathan Ott, among others. So if you're burned out listening to Terrence McKenna, just hold on for a couple more weeks and I'll begin to mix it up a bit once again. Now, last week…

…portraits he'd made of some of our famous elders, including which one that I think is maybe the most riveting photograph of Terrence McKenna that I've ever seen. Well, at long last, Mark has finally agreed to exhibit his work, and it's going to be at…

…community beyond the doom and gloom of the 2012 end of the worlders, and in particular moving some of the ideas of Terrence McKenna beyond the end time of his time wave predictions in 2012 we already have two events scheduled, one at Esalen Institute in…

…any further ado, the talk I'm going to play for us today is another one that came out of a box of tapes that Terrence McKenna left with a friend of mine a long time ago. And while copies of this particular talk have been floating around the net for…

…went too high. Either way, I'm sorry about the slight distortion. Hopefully it doesn't completely ruin the experience of these Terrence McKenna talks for you. Now, today's program, I just discovered, begins with the final 14 minutes of the talk that we…

…pick up without his lead in. So for the newcomers here in the salon, this will be a really good introduction to what Terrence McKenna thought of as one of his two original ideas. Actually, it's one of his better tellings of this theory, and in truth,…

…and as I promised in my last podcast, I'm going to celebrate six years of salons with you by playing yet another Terrence McKenna talk, as he is obviously my favorite speaker in these podcasts. And again, I would like to thank our benefactor Diana…

…them to give them a listen. And by the way, if you're introducing somebody to the salon who has not yet heard Terrence McKenna, I suggest that you get them started with the Valley of Novelty series in podcasts number 27 through 36. And please, Zachary…

…that I've ever met, and he surely will be missed by us all. So, are you ready to listen to a little more Terrence McKenna? If you happen to listen to Kat Harrison's talk at the psychedelic Science 2017 conference, which I did via their livestream. Well,…

…I guess I finally just couldn't wait any longer to hear it. And as you no doubt already guessed, it's another talk by Terrence McKenna. Now, this tape is also another one from the box of tapes that Diana Slattery sent to me sometime last year. And the…

…title a little bit for today's podcast. In any event, let's now give a listen to this November 1982 recording of Terrence McKenna, in which he still felt the need to introduce himself and explain his qualifications to the audience, which I actually find…

…to call it, is probably in its best shape when I'm having a good time doing things like having a few tokes and listening to Terrence McKenna. So if that's what it takes, then I'm not only up to it, I'm all for it. But, you know, back before that, at…

…are in yet another year, and although I hadn't planned it this way at least well in advance, we ended 2014 with a Terrence McKenna talk. And we'll begin 2015 with the last session of his workshop that we've been listening to for the past few weeks. And…

…last month, and if anyone needs a choke or two at night, it's the good citizens of DC. Now, getting back to the Terrence McKenna talk that we just listened to at the time of this talk, the mushroom Growers guide that he and his brother Dennis published…

…on the Friday evening of August 7, 1998. And in case you haven't already figured this out, this series of talks that Terrence McKenna gave took place in the week immediately following the series of talks that I podcast under the title in the Valley of…

…have a curious presentment about where the net was already heading, as you'll soon hear. And now here are Eric Davis and Terrence McKenna at Terrence's house on the big island of Hawaii one evening just before bedtime. If you look at what we're building…

…that there's no attention to detail or no sense of accomplishment in doing it. What would the kind of ideal Terrence McKenna virtual environment be? Well, all of these, I guess you would call them models or explanations, beginning with basic chemistry,…

…sure we can't afford to let this opportunity go begging. Thanks again. And remember, there's no such thing as too many Terrence McKenna episodes. I agree with you, David. Thanks for the good, kind words, too. And as you know, the project, Dennis's project…

…today is Miguel Fernandez, who joins us each week from Portugal, and he's posted a link to the audio of yet another Terrence McKenna video that's up on YouTube. And he posted that link on our notes from the psychedelic salon blog where he said, it's…

…it happens to be packed with some things that I think you're going to find interesting. As you know, for all of the Terrence McKenna talks, I pick out some quotes of his that I find particularly interesting and I post them in the program notes for that…

…none of the major search engines are indexing mp3 files. And so the only way that I know of to get these Terrence McKenna quotes into circulation is to type them out and post them on our psychedelicsalon.com website. So the quotes that caught my…

…last week totaled 306 words. And that was from a 1 hour talk. Whereas in today's 40 minutes talk, I've posted 446 words of Terrence McKenna. I know that's not a big deal, but I, I did find it interesting in my own little twisted way. Now, I do want…

…topics in this short talk, then it might be worth your time to go back and re listen to it. As I've said before, Terrence McKenna talks usually have to be listened to more than once if you really want to get the most out of them. The reason for…

…of us who have been together here for over eight years now. Yet even after so much time, 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…

…talk and not finding it, only to have it then magically appear in its entirety, well, all I can figure is that good old Terrence McKenna wanted you to hear the rest of his talk. Now, I did cut a few parts out that were either something you've heard…

…heroes in my book. Now, as promised in my last podcast today I'm going to play part one of the last interview that Terrence McKenna gave before his untimely death in April of 2000. As I mentioned last week, we have three people to thank for the…

…support of the salon and of our Burning man project. And now, without any further ado, let's join Eric Davis and Terrence McKenna in Terrance's home sometime around the end of October 1999. And in about six months time after this interview, Terrence would…

…powers stayed with him right up until the end. Now let's join Eric Davis for an introduction to the last interview of Terrence McKenna. I'm Eric Davis, and I had the great good fortune of spending a few days with Terrence McKenna and his girlfriend…

…about these podcasts. We're all in this together, you know, so thank you all very much. Now, have you ever wondered what Terrence McKenna would say about some of the things that are taking place in the quagmire of us politics today? I know that I…

…looks like that for the next couple of weeks, it's just going to be you and me and our old friend, the bard, Terrence McKenna, here in the salon. Now, if you listened to last week's podcast, you may be wondering what direction I'll be moving in next.…

…provided some really powerful impetus to what we now think of as the worldwide dance community. As we all know, Terrence McKenna had a role in helping the newly evolving rave scene come into existence. His predecessor, Doctor Timothy Leary, however, never…

…talk have been sent to me by several saloners, and in case you haven't already done so, you can Google MP3 and then Terrence McKenna in quotes, and I think you'll probably find over 60,000 hits. So if you need a McKenna fix and you haven't heard enough…

…are a few things he says that I have a serious disagreement with. So for what it's worth. Just because this is Terrence McKenna, it doesn't necessarily mean that all of the information you hear is necessarily correct. Now, if that doesn't make you pay…

…head cold and can't seem to summon up enough energy to get my thoughts together. But nonetheless, if you like listening to Terrence McKenna, well, you've got an interesting hour ahead of you. But before I play today's talk, I first want to send my love…

…podcast comes into better focus. And so, for my final podcast of 2016, I'm going to play the last tape in the Terrence McKenna workshop that we've been listening to lately. And, okay, I know that our Terrance McKenna purists are going to be a bit…

…even a casual glance around the world right now seems to bear him out, don't you think? You know, I've heard quite a few Terrence McKenna talks, but this has to be one of my all time favorites, which I think is something I say after every new talk…

…the Internet and to relatively inexpensive MP3 players, quite literally millions of people have now heard one or more lectures of Terrence McKenna. Millions more than did while he was alive, to be sure. And even before he died, though, his reputation was…

…projects. It's simply that this podcast probably wouldn't be anywhere as popular as it is without all of the public domain talks of Terrence McKenna. And so this is my small way of giving a little back to his legacy. And believe it or not, there is one…

…And so this is my small way of giving a little back to his legacy. And believe it or not, there is one more Terrence McKenna announcement I have for this week. You know, it's funny sometimes how things fall into place. So next week, this week at long…

…I'm finally going to be able to play for you the first part of the two hour 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…

…come back soon. Now, speaking of coming back, today, at long last, we are going to hear yet another talk by the one and only Terrence McKenna. What I'm going to play for you right now is an interview of his that I found in the big box of tapes that…

…saloners will at least have a say in what types of programs I podcast each week. And yes, I still have a bunch of Terrence McKenna tapes that I haven't yet previewed. So there's also going to be more of Terrence to come for a while, at least. Now, in…

…these tapes from various people, and some have good information about when and where they were recorded and others just say, Terrence McKenna talk, or something equally cryptic. Anyway, I don't remember hearing the one that I'm about to play for you today,…

…that, well, maybe you'll enjoy listening to it, too. What we're about to hear is from the all chemical arts conference that Terrence McKenna co produced with two of his friends in September of 1999, just a few months before he died. The conference was…

…But the last formal presentation was on Thursday afternoon, and it was a long anticipated panel discussion with Tom Robbins and Terrence McKenna. And I'll be playing about 20 minutes or so of that one after I first play part of Terrance's opening talk.…

…should apologize for getting it out a bit late because, well what happened was I digitized that last tape in the Terrence McKenna workshop that I've been podcasting recently, but after I began editing it I discovered that the original tape had been…

…this talk, it appears to have been given around may of 1990. So without any further ado, here again is the one and only Terrence McKenna. Well I want to explain a little bit about why I should even be sitting here talking to you and why I'm qualified…

…salons, just click the Patreon link at the top of the psychedelicsalon.com website. Now, before we begin listening to today's Terrence McKenna talk, I have two other announcements. First, as I mentioned last week, tickets are now on sale for the imagine…

…among other countries like anonymous. We are everywhere, so expect us. So now let's get on with the program. Today we rejoined Terrence McKenna and a few of his friends 1 June evening in 1989, almost 30 years ago. And back then, of course, there was…

…the dreaded y two k calamity. And at the same time that all of this hype was going on, there were also these Terrence McKenna bootleg tapes that were floating around in which he was talking about this idea of his that he called the time wave. Now,…

…since 2012 has come and gone, and you and I at least think we are still here listening to this recording of an old Terrence McKenna tape. You remember that old Chris Christofferson line from a Star is born. Are you a figment of my imagination, or am I…

…on the net before, I feel that I. Well, I should publish it here just to complete the online record of Terrence McKenna recordings. And even though the time wave actually never made it to theory status, nonetheless, there are some interesting historical…

…we'll be able to meet you there as well. And now for today's program, which is the fourth installment of a June 1989 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…

…I was trying to figure out more about how BitTorrent works, and one of the things I stumbled on was a torrent with Terrence McKenna talking about UFO's. Now maybe that's a feeble excuse for sending a little more of the Bard McKenna your way, but what…

…going to play here in the salon. And I guess I should warn you right now, it's going to be yet another talk by Terrence McKenna. Originally, I was going to play a talk that I gave at the inside edge about seven years ago, but after listening to a…

…host here in the psychedelic salon. And as our long time fellow saloners here can tell, held the newcomers well. I probably played Terrence McKenna a little too much over the last ten and a half years now well over 200 times. But as you will soon hear,…

…that was the case on the west coast at places like Esalen. But for what it's worth, news about this guy named Terrence McKenna had not really reached more than a handful of people on the east coast by then. It wasn't until Xandor interviewed Terrance…

…interesting brew. And I'm only pointing this out for our new listeners here to let them know that when they listen to Terrence McKenna, it's the thoughts that his talks produce in your own mind that are important here, because from time to time he admits…

…and have nots. And now imagine my pleasure when the following came up on the next tape of the June 1989 Terrence McKenna workshop at the Esslin Institute near Big Sur, California. And the pastoral civilizations that are devoted to the great goddess retreat…

…each month, we'd love to have you join us as well. Now for today's talk, we are returning to the August 1989 Terrence McKenna workshop that we heard the introduction to last week. And as you will hear now, the workshop begins with a demonstration of…

…well, at least one of the ancient civilizations that filled the Americas before the european invasions. So now, here is Terrence McKenna opening the Saturday morning session of his August 1989 workshop at the Eslin Institute near Big Sur, California. So to…

…space. This is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. And today we're going to continue with a series of Terrence McKenna talks that I left off with a while back. Quite a while back, actually. It was in September of 2013 that I…

…actually. It was in September of 2013 that I played the first three parts of this month long scholar in residence gig that Terrence McKenna did at Esalen. And you can go find those talks in podcasts 367, 368, and 369, which are over 100 podcasts ago.…

…to what Terrence has to say here, I'll be back with an, well, somewhat embarrassing story about myself. But for all of you Terrence McKenna fans who tell me that they have now heard it all, well, before you skip over this talk, you may want to listen…

…when I began working on today's podcast, it was under the assumption that I could never go wrong in podcasting another talk by Terrence McKenna. But a few days ago, one of our friends stopped by here and shocked me by saying that Terrence McKenna was a…

…another talk by Terrence McKenna. But a few days ago, one of our friends stopped by here and shocked me by saying that Terrence McKenna was a little bit too far out on the edge for him. I found this quite remarkable, because by most standards, this…

…the talk itself, while composed of a number of familiar riffs, came together once again, at least for me, as another unique Terrence McKenna presentation. This time, it seemed to take him about 20 minutes to get up to speed. But once he does, he's off…

…farting that I heard. I'm sorry about that. I better play the recording now before I dig myself in even deeper. So here's Terrence McKenna on a Friday evening at the end of June in 1989. Well, first of all, as is always appropriate, I want to thank…

…with today's program. As you have no doubt guessed, today we're going to listen to the final session of the March 1996 Terrence McKenna workshop that was held at the Esselin Institute near Big Sur, California. Once again, I want to thank Ian Wynn, who…

…my head, which there's always that. And so it was that a cosmic safe in the form of a terminal brain tumor brought the Terrence McKenna show to an end on April 3, 2001. He sure has missed a lot of excitement since then. And for now, this is Lorenzo…

…other day on Max's great podcast Psychonautica, which you can find at Dopefiend Co. UK, somebody mentioned that one of my Terrence McKenna podcasts may have been a repeat, and that is certainly possible, although I don't think I replayed the same talk more…

…of his other ideas? Well, that question answers itself, I think, because if you haven't already figured it out, the genius of Terrence McKenna was in his ability to provoke unique thoughts in our own minds as we contemplate what he was saying. Even when…

…guess is that this has already happened to you and your friends, at least if you've listened to enough of his talks. Terrence McKenna, in my opinion, was primarily a catalyst whose mission it was to spark new ideas in his listener's mind. In closing, I'd…

…that he tried to avoid as best he could. So, the bottom line for me is that while I'm not a fan of the time wave, I nonetheless remain a big fan of Terrence McKenna. And for now, this is Lorenzo signing off from cyberdelic space. Be well, my friends.

…from cyberdelic space. This is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. And I hope that you find today's talk by Terrence McKenna as interesting as I have. What I'm about to play for you is the next part of a workshop that he led at…

…quite a bit of criticism from his fans for that. The reason that I'm diverting back to it today, though, is that in the Terrence McKenna story, the time wave is a central plot line. And as I said, this may be one of the few times where he publicly…

…time wave are now kind of suspect. Although I didn't buy into his 2012 Eschaton talk myself, well, in many other respects, Terrence McKenna has provided me with a significant number of ideas that have, well, they've led me to where I am today, and for…

…Well, that's my excuse. Sorry about that. Anyway, the talk that I'm about to play right now is, is the next talk that Terrence McKenna gave in a series that I started posting a few weeks back. And if I'm not mistaken, this talk must have taken place…

…to do this week's podcast. So what I did is what I usually do in those circumstances and went back to good old Terrence McKenna once I remembered that CD that Michael sent. Now, this talk is also available on YouTube, I found, but there's no video with…

…1986. And as I said in his letter forwarding the CD with this talk on it, Michael said that it was one of his favorite Terrence McKenna talks. And after only hearing the first part of it so far, I have to agree that this is in many ways a very…

…envisioned. You know, just go back and listen to that whole tale once again. And I think you'll have to agree with me that when Terrence McKenna was on a roll, it was like no one before or since has been. He was truly one of a kind. And also, I…

…And I was a vegetarian for 23 years. And through all my research, I got connected to a gentleman by the name of Terrence McKenna, who really opened my eyes to some things about the plants. So I was writing novels. I've written, I think, nine novels,…

…in appearances and through his late writings aren't the real him that his friends knew and loved. In this way. I think Terrence McKenna is different and special. I think his public Persona and his private one were somewhat uniquely the same. I don't think…

…an email and I'd like to read part of it here. You know, sometimes it's easy for me to forget that these Terrence McKenna workshops aren't only about Terrence. In fact, they most likely had a significantly greater impact on the lives of the people who…

…bodhisattva vows and died. Anyway, there's a whole community who was thrilled to hear Greg's voice again. And talking to Terrence McKenna about leprechauns, no less. And it was this workshop, actually, that inspired Ian to document his adventures when he…

…Leary clip actually comes from one of my favorite cds, which is called Journey through the spheres and is a tribute to Terrence McKenna that was created by the novelty project not long after Terrence died. So let's begin with an introduction of Terence by…

…ready to record a new podcast yesterday, but at the time, I'd been working on one that featured a continuation of the Terrence McKenna workshop that we've been listening to for a few weeks. However, I happened to notice the date and discovered it was…

…from my friend Steve Marshank, who you may remember me mentioning before as the producer of the video prognosis, which featured Terrence McKenna, Ram Dass, and several others, parts of which we've already heard here in the salon. Well, Steve was also the…

…a unique event that was. Because as far as I know, it was the one and only time that Timothy Leary introduced Terrence McKenna. This was actually a benefit for botanical dimensions, and it was held at the Wilshire Evil Theater in Los Angeles. I think…

…today for sure. So, without any further ado, here, very briefly, is Steve Marshank, who introduces Tim Leary, who in turn introduces Terrence McKenna. I think you're really going to like this one. He's an old friend of all of ours. So I'd like you all…

…concert? Yeah, and they're coming over later. They're just ending now. So, believe me, we'll have an infusion of. 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.…

…space. This is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. And today I'm in the mood for a little more Terrence McKenna. So I'm going to pick up with a workshop that we heard the first part of in my podcast, number 463, a little…

…it both ways, but the silent darkness just isnt something that works that well for me. As ive said before, what Terrence McKenna or anyone else experiences on a particular substance isnt necessarily what you are going to expect. For example, Terence said…

…mentioned I was four and I saw the lady hanging by her teeth and then the fuzzy Charlie, that probably was the igniting moment for Terrence McKenna to go on, on a quest for weird for the next. Well, 50 or 49 years, till his death when he was 53. And…

…yet this year. Now, before I forget it, another of Doctor Laura's questions was any advice on the order to listen to Terrence McKenna from sources not on your podcast? Well, just now I googled Terrance McKenna in quotes, followed by mp3, and came up with…

…got me to go to the burning man for the first time. Back then, the main reason that people went to see Terrence McKenna may have been the bard himself, but making good connections into the worldwide psychedelic community was a very close second. Another…

…today I would be playing one of the talks that Bruce Dahmer gave in the UK last summer, followed by another talk by Terrence McKenna. Well, I've decided to do them in reverse order and play the McKenna talk first. And while I've got some good reasons…

…if you prefer. The copy of this talk that I'm going to play right now is from a box of cassette tapes that Terrence McKenna left with a friend of mine not long before dear Terrence took leave from our little planet. And my friend has digitized them…

…This is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon. And I hope that I'm not overloading you with these Terrence McKenna podcasts, but there are several reasons for it. Well, one of which is that I've been given encouragement to keep them…

…Now here's a spoiler alert of sorts for our fellow saloners who, like me, dislike the little clicking sound in some of the Terrence McKenna recordings. Well, I'm sorry to report that such is the case again today. Now, it isn't as bad as a few months…

…in KMOS Sea Realm podcast number 67. And I decided that rather than wait until next year to play this particular talk by Terrence McKenna, that it really needed to reach you right now. And so here we are once again. Now, one of the reasons I'm playing…

…lecture was given over a decade ago. Yet the message of this talk is still right on point today. So let's join Terrence McKenna as he discusses some of the critical issues that are now threatening the continued existence of our species. Well, let's see…

…DMT space. In fact, he even said, and I quote, I think it's big news about these entities. Now that was said by Terrence McKenna over 25 years ago, but the world apparently wasn't ready for his idea yet. However, just one week ago, Philip Smith wrote…

…the future back then, even the relatively near future. And you'll understand what I mean in just a moment when you hear Terrence McKenna singing the praises of HD television, something that we all take for granted today. Yet back in 1995, it was a big…

…which was in 1998, he had finally begun to soften his stance somewhat. But as we just heard, in 1995 at least, Terrence McKenna was most definitely expecting a major event, one that he proclaimed would be as disruptive as a big bang and it would…

…know. Now getting on with today's program, we are going to get to listen to the next part of a weekend workshop given by Terrence McKenna in May of 1990, which picks up right where we left off last week. And so now here's Terrence. Well, let's talk a…

…coming your way. And speaking of interesting programs, I'm going to pick up today with the next installment of the course that Terrence McKenna taught at CIIS in April of 1995. And there's going to be at least one more podcast from this particular lecture…

…yeah. Quite a few of our fellow saloners have written and sent links to dozens of websites where you can download other Terrence McKenna lectures. In fact, with the exception of the ten Valley of novelty lectures I posted a while back, I think that…

…on that a bit more, this is already kind of a long talk, so I'm going to get out of here and turn you over to Terrence McKenna and a few friends on a summer day in 1994. And by the way, in about an hour and four minutes from now, we're going to…

…maybe my head would explode if I did. So let's get on with it. Here's the 10th and final installment of a workshop Terrence McKenna conducted in the summer of 1998. Yeah, machine is a very general term. I mean, the machine might be a mantra, a drug,…

…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 Terrence 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…

…I'm going to pick up where we left off with my previous podcast, and that was with the Saturday session of a workshop that Terrence McKenna led 1 August day in 1993, and I wish that I could give you the exact date, but I can't find any record of…
