This channel is fast becoming a welcome blessing; the finestly chosen speeches posted in the most respectful way to all. I wish Terence were here to see such respect and affection given to his words. Thank you Danit Friedman.
I thought I had heard all of Terence's lectures! He was so far ahead of the mark with his thinking; I believe we continue to catch up with the passing years. Thank you for sharing this and your amazing art work with everyone.
Listening to mckenna talking spurs my mind in incredible ways. His witty humor yet ability to speak clearly is an amazing thing. Am I the only one who gains verbal facility just by listening, thinking, and attempting to understand his words?
@@BrokenKoolAid The factory stirred your mind is proof that it is not the absolute The absolute is beyond the mind, so don't take his explorations. As the end point it's only the beginning
The combination of sound editing makes you feel like you're sitting in a cave with him. I believe this is the best on yet, when you close youre eyes he's right there!
That's such an excellent choice for an introduction, "the global destiny of a species is somehow unfolding with the logic of a dream." Wow, that's such an interesting way of describing things, and also so true.
My favourite channel on you tube!❤.....absolutely love your art Danit its so powerful and taught provoking just like the spoken of words of the legend himself... Almost every night I kick back and slap the ear phones on and it helps my to unwind... Coming from a fellow physconaut😊👌🏼 keep up the fantastic work you do
Its always just beautiful listening to Terrance McKenna, "Epistemological cartoonist" was the catcher for me given that we live in a world where people are always giving there humanness away to them for deluded Ideology . We need to stand up & yell Bullshit! Anyway thanks Danit for this!
Terrence explored the mind. But we need to go beyond the mind I am glad he did what he did But he's still just describing the fractal regeneration of the mind The mind is just memory and imagination It is not the eternal
Has anyone seen the video where the guy has a conversation with a language model trained on Terrence's speeches? It is sooooo trippy, truly shocking and meta-reflective to hear this digital Terrence contemplate its perspective with all the cadence and nuance of the real Terrence. It's like talking to his ghost that knows it is in a computer.
So when “psychic” things happen, like for example, I think of the word “zeitgeist” just a few seconds before hearing Terrence say that very word.. it may Appear that, according to the convention of retrograde precognition, this was an occurrence of psychic thought, of the incoming future rippling into the past. But there is just as much evidence to believe that my very thought created the future of the video including Terrence and this particular choice of word being the same. But of course, this video playing in my future is but the record of something from the past. So then you could say, Terrence’s words from the past came to the future, and just before I heard them, they went back to the slight past of when I was to precognize his words before hearing them. Yes it is a cannabis canvas, a circular weave of threads and each one leads to another, or is lead to by another. The head, the tail, whichever part of the ouroboros snake each moment is we cannot say exactly. Each moment then becomes a head and a tail at once. This related back to some thoughts that have been echoing thru heavy synchronicities lately for me. Alpha and omega, beginning and end. Destroyer of worlds, the atom. Christian Adam, Hindu Atman, Egyptian Atum, and of course, atom. The atom bomb, the destroyer of worlds. As well as the fabricator. Our universe is spherical, and the edge is the edge of our perception outward. Just as, historically speaking, the atom was defined as the smallest perceivable individual unit of matter: the edge of our perception inward. So thus, the edge of our largest and smallest view literally is just the edge of an atom. And so our universe is quite plainly contained within an atom in the universe above it. And likewise, each atom in our universe contains an entire universe within. But deeper than this, is time. For our sensation of existence is all based on the story of self. The story of the ego. Which is all based on, what happened in the past, and what will happen in the future. Even in silent meditation, we feel that we are in a place that we just were before, and we feel that we will soon be in that same place a moment later. But if we were truly to remove the past and future entirely from this conception, what then would appear? I reckon there would be nothing at all. Thus this now moment is the alpha and omega, as it is always the beginning and end of what is perceived as the flow of time. Thus, when we dive deep enough into the present stillness, perchance we can destroy ALL things. Because with no story of where we are coming from or where we are going to, no Thing can exist at all. No item can appear, and no separate individual body can exist. Thus time is collapsed in the now moment. And yet, we can scarcely achieve this level of present ness. The mind or the sensation of sound or wind blowing or the feeling of our chest rising with breath, all of these things cause the beginning and ending edged to infringe upon the thin NOW moment and thus completely snuff it out. And it is useless to attempt to suspend all of the past and future phantoms by will force! For the very notion of will worse is based on those same past and future stories. Thus, “we” are completely at the whim of this triune godhead and it’s movie playing out called life. Called experience. We cannot do a damn thing about it. And yet, IRONICALLY and quite comically, almost comedically genius, if the universe may say so itself, is that despite this thought appearing futile and unresolving to this current quandary, we know that this kind of thought, this kind of true admission that begins to expose the illusion, can perhaps become something of a precursor to the great unveiling of that illusion. In other words: all thoughts, all words are part of the veil of Maya. The veil of Maya is only pulled back to reveal the absolute silence of nothingness and everythingness at once. And yet! These thoughts, as part of the veil, beckon the end. The are self referencing and.. ego destroys ego. Mind exposed mind. The vasana or illusory thought form that says, “all thoughts are vasanas” is itself a vasana. Thus, the end of illusion is preceded by the illusion itself fessing up.. to its own tricks. We have seen this fact many times. The illusion keeps saying it! And then reneging. And then wavering back and forth so many times. The ego then mistakenly says that it is being tortured by this turbulence. But really, the ego cannot be tortured, because the ego has no consciousness. Rather, it is consciousness which has ego. Consciousness has many egos! Just as the sea has many waves. But they are all connected. So this comment is but a wave proclaiming itself to be merely the sea. Which is funny because the sea is then talking to itself. The whole universe is entirely schizophrenic. And it is really fun, when it is not play acting as a pitiful and miserable wave.
That is what I think of this and this is what I fear… that we all and everybody together is only one. It itself. One. And lonely. Alone. And talking to itself. Beautiful referring to the sea..
The “language” chapter reminds me about something I’ve thought about recently. I wanted to think of something outside of pleasure and pain. I thought how we will often willingly suffer for the sake of something better than we would have had. Like working out or saving money. Then I thought about music and art, which made me think that meaning is more significant than pleasure or pain. But still…when we find art we like we call it “good”… The only thing I can think of that makes sense is pure nothingness. Or perhaps a baked potato with no butter or salt. Or maybe meaning? Perhaps meaning is the thing that makes art so special? Just wanted to share some thoughts I had. Sorry if I couldn’t brainstorm the answer or anything :)
I keep on thinking about his omega point concept. If artificial super intelligence comes about, the level of complexity and novelty will skyrocket. Perhaps we really are being pulled through time, not pushing our way. Perhaps that point of peak novelty really is pulling us too it. If so, what a thing to be a part of!
"It's fooqed up ya know?" I was struck by the fact that as he began talking about datura the detail about answering phones in the woods , which would no longer produce a laugh response from the audience today. But yeah he could have easily been a fabulous comedian. Great storytelling abilities. 👍
While in communion with Psilocybin, I also was told there is no-one in control. I thought it was the funniest and most freeing truth I've ever heard. Life is so unconquerable, and I find that to be so beautiful.
I have a nostalgia for terrence, in the 90's goin to bookstore, new age section being right next to the so called occult. No one is as interesting as Terrance , even his brother seems jaded nowadays.
Was just looking through your list of other inspirational books/lectures, might I suggest Manly P Hall and J. Krishnamurti make their way onto your list. Thanks for your work.
we learn the ABC song and by magic we don't care about letters anymore. i kno the song and that's all i need. meanwhile 4 of our letters are redundant and the majority of them are spoken incorrectly. endless words with multiple meanings. vowels getting used wrong constantly. it's almost like a circus with clowns. ehem. it's exactly like a circus with honking clowns. 3 ring circus comes from the Odd Fellows. he neglected to mention this historic group of controllers for some reason. and there is no doubt that he was aware of them - and their level of control.
I don't want to participate, I want you to be happy, I don't want to eat all the chocolate as to not have spots on my face, I don't want to walk across the grass I want it to grow, it's these types of higher thoughts that are our uniqueness, and if we learn spiritual life then it will also hold enlightenments.
That hypnagogic state he talks about drifting through after orgasm can be found other ways. I go there during a really good scratch, it can become addictive. I'll feel a little tickle of a certain type and scratch there and go to some inner mode where I know how to move my body to get it to crack effortlessly. I'm an overthinker who can't usually let go of the monkey mind. But in this inner body scratch pop awareness I am something else, I know things I don't know otherwise. Reminds me of the way things feel during trips on various tryptamines, I can only remember the other times I was on that level when I'm on that level. There is a barrier of fog when I'm in my normal consciousness. But drifting after an orgasm or during a nice scratch or huge poop I am reconnected with that deeper layer in some way. Nice mystery spice in the background of my life. I suspect it will all be so obvious during death when I break through that wall of ego fear, so easy, like taking off a jacket.
Intellectuals normally don’t believe in conspiracies because as public figures it’s career suicide. They can justify it in wild ways. But really it’s probably just a model of reality that they find distasteful so they bury it. But the most simple minded person recognizes this as a fact before adulthood. In fact it’s probably the definition of being an adult, accepting this whole show is being run by someone and not for our benefit.
Thank you for uploading these wonderful talks I always enjoy listening to Terence's wisdom ,i can't keep thinking if he were alive today and seeing how fucked up this world is more than ever and the cruelty of the politicians, he mentioned Netanyahu,I think he will be horrified looking the videos of Palestinians butchered under the rubles.I personally can't see an end in my lifetime when every human will stop to kill each other over land money or religion.We still are animals
except the world is not made of language. "digitally sophisticated audience" the world is made of Atoms. - and here we go with the Darwin 140k year ago story. nope 🤠
No one is listening to you. There are many people listening to Terrence. Terrence seems to be using his language in a way that moves the world, and you are not. There’s definitely a lot to learn from this video, a lot to wake up to
His take on taste is uncharacteristically narrow minded. It's a matter of taste. For example, some people like to eat tripe (cow's stomach), others don't. Who's to say who's wrong or right? 🤷🏻♀️

Don't believe your mind brother
Manly P Hall…
Agreed Ti's the best
Im always just glued to Mckenna whenever i hear him speak. He was a true visionary and his lectures are more relevant today than ever before
I thought I had heard all of Terence's lectures! He was so far ahead of the mark with his thinking; I believe we continue to catch up with the passing years. Thank you for sharing this and your amazing art work with everyone.

What a beautiful poignant image to go along with this wonderful McKennalogue
Keep sharing Terrance's message ❤
McKenna talks like the voice in my head. It's really amazing how in tune he was.
The combination of sound editing makes you feel like you're sitting in a cave with him. I believe this is the best on yet, when you close youre eyes he's right there!
Love you Danit.. Good to be back and take a break from the insanity of our world politics.. Blessings. ✌️
You making space for "our community" is priceless.🎉
Thank you for your big heart @AuditingWithAutism
Wow, this one is my new favorite. I'll definitely listen to this one over and over. Thank you!
Thank you @patrickd430
Glad you like this one
That's such an excellent choice for an introduction, "the global destiny of a species is somehow unfolding with the logic of a dream."
Wow, that's such an interesting way of describing things, and also so true.
Glad to see others who see Mckenna's work unfold in reality before our eyes
Brilliant. Thanks again Danit for finding, curating and presenting some of the most fascinating talks by Terence 😊
I'm am always transfixed by Terrence's talks. So glad to find this.
D. This is extremely poignant on this day!!!
Appreciate you very much
Thank you Danit!
Good ol Danit. We love you, girl!
I am amongst friends here 😊

Same... maybe someday 😊
He is correct.we cannot control the dreams

But we need to go beyond the mind
I am glad he did what he did

How can you be so sure? Until your physical body dies, who is to really say what happens to consciousness

His take on taste is uncharacteristically narrow minded. It's a matter of taste.
For example, some people like to eat tripe (cow's stomach), others don't. Who's to say who's wrong or right? 🤷🏻♀️
