    I served him daily at a cafe In Hawaii and I had no idea who he was at the time. All I knew was his energy was radiant and free. As a person living with extreme anxiety I felt nothing but love and acceptance from him. I saved the best fruits for his smoothie and naturally made everything he ordered with absolute joy and love. Someone finally asked if I knew who he was and introduced his books to me. I never felt comfortable with anyone except for him and only a handful of people I’ve ever met. He is a rare gem 💎 of a soul. I’m blown away by his work and having had the honor of interacting with such a multidimensional adept. ❤

      Try ashwagandha, there was a pubmed study on mice and it reduced withdrawal symptoms in them- they were able to observe it in the brain.
      Just don't haveashwagandha with SSRI, or other serotonin affecting medication- that is terribly risky since ashwagandha increases serotonin and balances hormonal function. Consult your doctor if you must.

Its sad how many people i know and talk to that believe taking psychedelics and doing cocaine sit at the same level that its disgusting. Most people are under educated on this subject and i wish that Mckenna was here today still. I told a buddy of mine who suffers from anxiety and depression that he should try micro dosing and he shot it down very quickly being against “drug” use.. also on another note.

      It's nice that you include Graham Hancock in this, I love the guy, he is far more of a philosopher than these apparently angry hateful people think of him as. They think he's trying to spread disinformation when he's not, he's spreading a very important message.
      Even though there are many arguable and honestly, easily believable aspects to his research and his points, it's not the true message. Like Ancient Aliens, but he does more than just Question history, and pose alternatives. But in the same way as Ancient Aliens, it will force a paradigm shift in the populace. It will make people think differently, and have different conversations.
      What's the endgame of people thinking differently? HOPEFULLY the widespread awakening of us all, that we are raping the shit out of our poor planet and none of us are really that happy at the end of the day. WE ALL need to go to rehab, for greed, for resent, for self control. Billionaires, world leaders, homeless drug addicts and hard working men and women alike.

How can a coconut or a piece of hard oak wood be made from non-solid materials?

If you haven't already, and you probably have, check out the world of lichens. It is theorized that lichens were the first life forms to adapt to living on land and that they broke down the rocky surface to create soil that enabled aquatic plants to be able to put down roots and adapt to living on the surface of the planet. They're indestructible zero kelvin unshielded exposer to radiation doesn't seem to effect them much at all. No sunscreen needed. Fascinating.

    Terence McKenna was surely one of the great humans of the 20th Century in my opinion, although so many people still haven’t heard of him. He was a serious intellectual who wasn’t afraid to question scientific reasoning or religions. Thankfully the wealth of knowledge he conveyed to the world through research & direct experience of psychedelics has been captured on videos like this one.

I became fixated on philosophy, trying to find answers to life's existential questions. I credit those years for my individuality, not following societal norms, and my overall way of thinking. If I could metaphorize it I'd say, imagine a building with six doors. Two of the doors are open. You have a single file line of people slowly herding through the open doors while I'd just walk alongside the line and open a new door. Naturally, a portion of that line breaks off and follows me through the newly opened door, but I never actually see anyone open their own door.

    I can't understand the attraction of "peace of mind". A mind "at peace" is an inert quantity if not a delusion. What mind can be at peace after a lifetime of traumas, large and small. "Peace of mind is a false aim. The object should be a mind agitated by curiosity, by idealisms, by urgings to solve problems, to create a better condition. People whose minds are "at peace" are borderline comatose, accessorized with a goofy blissful smile and far away eyes. Beyond which Nature is no yardstick for "peace". "Mother" nature eats her young. 6 near extinction level events and the triumph of tooth and claw to create this rare island of sentience floating in a shooting gallery cosmos. The lack of rigorous thought on these matters amounts to a lobotomy.

  • @stantilling1093

    Some of my key moments from this:
    Terence McKenna quotes:
    On Capitalism: “There’s a lot of kind of self-congratulatory back-slapping going around these days, over the fact that communists everywhere are in hot water and have to admit that they did it wrong, and that gives a lot of satisfaction to people who feel that means we did it right. We didn’t do it right. They did it wrong and now admit they did it wrong. We do it wrong and have yet to raise the possibility of turning away from what we’re doing…”
    On Culture: “Our culture is in trouble - not in trouble - we are at a terminal crisis, a bifurcation that can go only one of two ways. Either horror beyond your wildest imagination or breakthrough to dignity, decency, community and caring beyond your wildest imagination. Now, where do you look for models, where do you go? The answer is so obvious - you go to nature. Nature has been playing this game for 2 billion years on this planet. Nature has an economy. An elegance. A style, that if we could but emulate it, we could rise out of the rubble that we are making of this planet.”
    “Culture is a garment which you put on. Medical systems are pieces of jewellery which wrap around your throat or neck. Religious ideals are like objects which you push through nostrils and earlobes. If we cannot come to terms with that which allows us to give birth with these. To die with dignity, and to live in health, then what kind of a future do we have? No. Future. At all.”
    On our abstraction: “Abstraction is the knife poised at our hearts. We are so much the victims of abstraction that with the Earth in flames, we can barely rouse ourselves to wander across the room and look at the thermostat. That’s the level of disimpassioning that abstraction has laid upon us.”
    On psychedelics: “The only thing I can preach is the felt presence of immediate experience. Which, for me came through the psychedelics. Which are not drugs, but plants. It’s a perversion of language to try and derail this thing into talk of drugs. There are spirits in the natural world that come to us in this way. And as far as I can tell, this is the only way that they come to us that is rapid enough for it to have an impact on us as a global population.”
    On fear: “History is a kind of horrified realisation that something has been lost. That there is an itch hard to scrath in the civilised context. That we have out of fear really, descended into patterns of domination of each other, of the environment, of our children, of our social relations with exogamous groups. We have descended int o a dominator pattern that is basically based on clutching on fear…”
    On why there is a feeling of dis-ease: “This is the consequence of ceasing basically to do enough hallucinogens in the diet. From around 100,000 to about 15,000 years ago, human beings were in a flirtatious situation with a symbiotic relationship with this mind, resident in vegetable nature.” He relates it to the relationship between a fish and a sea anemone. “If you take the little fish away from the anemone, it doesn’t die. It doesn’t go into an immediate physiological crisis. No, what happens is it simply has a low body weight and a short life-span. In other words, it is under stress.” “I believe that the lost secret of human emergence, the undefined catalyst that took a very bright monkey and turned that species into a tormented. self-reflecting poet/dreamer. The catalyst has to be sought in these tertiary alkaloids in the food chain that were catalysing higher states of intellectual activity.”

After a few times WOW ask a question and you Will get an answer, and you can see trough the society... what i have to do it's Amazing you Have to experience it yourself! Latest studies show that DMT don't enhance or intesify, the ego is shut down there is no filter during DMT. What does that mean ;) I think everyone should try it smoke it atleast 5 times.

      Well, it's good he could. Look around. There be many a dabbler who ends up a babbler, total irrationality to a fault.
      But I try not to be critical. I guess it can't be helped.
      However brief the encounter with something well beyond your understanding, few it is who don't babble from that snapshot look at the Divine. And to think, it dims itself just in hopes we'll understand something. One can never encompass its light. So it goes I suppose. Excuse me while I adjust my shades. 😉

      Hang in there. Terence would recommend psilocybin. It's the cutting edge medication right now for depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, any kind of trauma. Large medical research institutions are studying its benefits. You can buy mushroom grow kits and separately one can legally buy spores of medicinal mushrooms.

      @@Sobermama927 A lot more people feel the way that you do, even if they are not willing to admit it, for fear of being perceived as too negative, or because they haven't even checked in with themselves. I of course try to be pleasant when I am around people, I try to make my interactions healing and uplifting, to others and myself. But at the core of the world we live in is great evil. That's just reality. If people were all nice, or at least not cruel and awful, this world would be a beautiful place. It isn't. And while it can be said that people behave according to circumstance, upbringing, and in some sense luck, it's hard not to feel like you are better than the evil ones in positions of power in this world, if you are at least a decent and well meaning human being. Anyway I feel your pain and sense of disconnection quite literally, it is no different than my own. It is written that the 3 greatest gifts God gives are faith, hope, and love. Most assuredly there is more to what all our pain and suffering is about, than the world we take ourselves to be part of. Have faith, it's better than not having any even if it feels like lying to yourself. I wish you and others peace, happiness, and that we may all find humor and meaning to make this part of our soul's journey tolerable.

Same with pot; I smoked so much for so long that surely if there were real medical benefits I wouldve noticed them but nope, same thing; when it wore off back to normal life.
