he says, "I dont speak on buddhism because i cant understand it. the only thing i can preach is the immediate experience". it sounds like he understands buddhism quite well.
Wonderful selection, just what is needed at the present time...we humans are always trying to control natural processes...Trust Nature. Many people don't understand me when I say to let Nature take it's course...Everything has it's purpose, and that includes the things that threaten us Humans, even Bacteria and Viruses have purpose...
Terence had a deeply pixie-like character true to his Celtic roots. He introduced me to DMT at Joshua Tree during a week-long desert gathering there that set the core of my life path. So very grateful for these UA-cam memories and his word-smithery. he was without a doubt one of the most intelligent, feral-hearted and funny men I've ever encountered. We bless his spirt by receiving his great gift with these tapes and I know he would have been amazed, puzzled, and grateful…>
"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 so 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 upon us as a global population." - Terence Mckenna
I am an extension of his way of thinking as I'm sure a lot of other people as well. I find everything under the sun and beyond fascinating and worth discussing. I also look for way of closure in the sense of wrapping it all up and putting a bow on it by linking everything together. When he said that he didn't understand Buddhism, I think it's irrelevant because in a sense he came to the same conclusion just worded in his own way and that is, the very secretive and esoteric Tantric concept that Tilopa spoke about and Osho dissected and explained beautifully which to put simply is that loose and natural is the way. Thoughts are just thoughts, abstraction with unknown origins and no home to go to except the minds of those that cling to them which in turn leads to possession of the mind by these thoughts. "The only thing I can preach about is felt presence by immediate experience". With an empty mind and a totally removed identification from all thoughts and emotions, the experiencer and experience merge into one, the drop in the endless sea, the endless sea in the drop, that is that felt presence which Terrence is talking about in my opinion, Divinity.
@@urielbaeza1 That's exactly it , the energy and the form exerting the energy cannot be seperate. In other words what the esoteric religions of the east identified as God or in my words the creator and the creation is one . Mystical experience of enlightenment is rooted in this understanding , not just intellectually but also as what Terrence McKenna would put it as " the felt presence of immediate experience" or the primacy of experience over mere knowledge.
@@stockwars4727 Yes. There is something to be said and elaborated on which Academia and Science for the most part fails to realize or discuss and that is like you said the primacy of experience over mere knowledge. I believe the basis of that experience is rooted in the naturally blissful and creative state, I think society today, in the west at least, is based on simply acquiring information and applying it in a disciplined and rigid way. I think maybe if we were more inclusive and based all our teachings in a more natural and loose manner with the fundamental truths of oneness and love, people would be able to comprehend esoteric concepts and common sense would be elevated beyond belief.
@@urielbaeza1 Love the community and absolutely you are right , In my opinion education in the twilight of the 21st century should be about being receptive to the free flow of triangulated information to experience synchronicity at its undiluted form and not about fueling an already burning information centric culture.
Terrance is constantly reaffirming the necessity of taking psychedelics to unlock certain insights. But interestingly enough he's doing this in a context where there is not yet such a thing as globally available Terrance McKenna lectures on the internet. As someone who both spent a lot of middle school listening to Terrance and a lot of highschool/early adulthood taking psychedelics, I think both are valid paths to the same understanding. Taking psychedelics is your birthright as a child of nature, but you don't need any of that to see how interconnected and vast our world really is. You just need an open mind, a guide, a couple of sense organs, and nature itself. If there's any young people reading this remember to be safe, take care, and pay close attention to the practical advice of the psychonauts that came before you. Nature Loves Courage, but Nature Also Loves Prudence.
On two occasions, during altered states of consciousness by psychedelics, it has felt as if these spirits he's reffering to has encouraged me to listen to his lectures. His name popped in to my head and I emidietly began getting "zaps" or signlas of some sort in my mind. Thank you for sharing this mans voice with us.
“With the earth in flames we can barley rouse ourselves to wander across the room and look at the thermostat” we are living in a dream while our bedroom is filing with water!
This excerpt is so inspiring! I imagine a skilled artist could feel inspired enough to create a centurial masterpiece after listening. Thank the universe Terence recorded his lectures. And thank you Peter for distilling and publishing!
The dog barking at 12 50 is a synchronisational agreement. An emphasis. There is huge power in "getting in the moment". Our minds are too full of modern cultures frivolous distractions. Leave it behind and become the mystery in the now. Nobody knows where you are x
will we ever be at peace between ourselves and with the planet? I think our human nature has done nothing but show its face throgout history the way it really is; selfish, fearful. I hope we, as a collective, find an alternative way someday. This planet is a literal paradise, it'd be a terrible loss if millions of years of biodiversity were destroyed in a short time

Thanks for bringing Terence. Would you mind putting when he spoke these words in the description? It may give more punch to what he is saying, and we all need to at least listen to his guiding thoughts.
It's sometimes hard to fathom how you can spend an evening with one of these beautiful hallucinogens and not get the message.. even I, as someone who does get it, have missed it at times.. the felt presence of immediate experience.

He would say the same things. It does not matter of what form it is, is it communism, capitalism, neoliberalism... It is all the same, universal laws are the same. It is not the technology or anything material that makes a difference.
It's amazing how much listening to his lectures prepared me to see through the bullshit going on right now in society and in respect to the psyop taking place
Isn't abstraction intrinsic to nature? Does seem strange though that it seems only 2,000 years ago things became whack. But maybe 6,000 years ago, 6 million years ago etc things got whack too. So is 'getting back to nature' really the answer? Isn't this all already nature?
It's the backward technological processes in use, they largely destroy the environment rather than having found ways to progress without so doing. eg 'hidden' clean technologies.
Terrance was great earth sage. I think he was a tad too vested in his psychedelic visions vs the felt experience of tripping in nature not in silent darkness behind the back of ones eyes. If one needs to learn from behind the veil w the help of mother earths spirits, trip outdoors alone. Good luck n remember to LISTEN.
he says, "I dont speak on buddhism because i cant understand it. the only thing i can preach is the immediate experience". it sounds like he understands buddhism quite well.
"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 the planet."
There is a name for this emulation of Nature. It's called permaculture.

Definitely

What're you learning? Scientism? Wtf McKenna
I'm learning more important things from Terence than I learned in schools.
@@karltanner3953 that is better way to say it bcause you learn 1000 bullsheats in school not worth one wise word of this man
Terance was an unsung hero that was ahead of his time, he spoke passionately about the truth behind organic nature.

Every word you say makes absolute sense to me, Terrence. Bless your sacred work.

William Qvillberg follow the zaps
I feel the same pull
Or like in the video meeting the DMT aliens. When they appear you can hear Terence say, pay attention, you come so rarely often
“With the earth in flames we can barley rouse ourselves to wander across the room and look at the thermostat” we are living in a dream while our bedroom is filing with water!

our environment will kick us out if we continue along the path we've been going down
Gods love him, wherever he is
He is God, just as you and I.
Truth to Power. Thank you for this ❤️. Wish there was community now to begin to rebuild the environment🌟👁🌏🌎🌨❤

That ending statement was beautiful
I find myself still fantasizing Terence suddenly bursting out into song. Hehe.
lol waht xD
@@thekito4623 i don't know. I was high. Still, Terence singing could be good entertainment.

His brother is alive! I enjoyed a livestream with him and Paul Staments on Bike day. They did a tribute to Terence, also I recommend Terence's books.
@@Idktesthandle1234 hehe yeah I know, I follow everything, the tribute was great. Dennis is often hosted at JRE and LR :) great podcasts

Amazing how apropos this is to the time.
I never knew of him when he was alive but somehow now I miss him terribly........
I agree!!!
Great

Nice picture
There are Spirits in the natural world that come to us...

What happened if we have same mind like Terrence. So spread this, preach it
Speak it!!!
