Terence McKenna On Carl Jung, Hermeticism And The Fall of Empires
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2024
- In this insightful lecture, Terence McKenna discusses Carl Jung's work and its connection to Hermeticism and alchemy. McKenna expresses a deep interest in the Hermetic arts having been influenced by Jung's studies in these fields, but not without addressing some criticism.
McKenna suggests that magic might be essential for addressing modern challenges and the world's redemption, contrasting it with the limitations of science and politics.
McKenna discusses the concept of "coincidencia oppositorum" in alchemy, which challenges scientific thinking pointing out its blind spots.
He connects alchemical philosophies with Jung's psychological insights, advocating for a revival of spiritual and esoteric traditions.
This, he proposes, could lead to a deeper, more interconnected understanding of our existence while re-empowering imagination as a pathway to unity and development.

”I think that what we want to do is make our way back to the alchemical garden. That's where our roots are. That's where meaning is. Meaning lies in the confrontation of contradiction-the coincidencia apositorum.
That's what we really feel, not these rational schemas that are constantly beating us over the head with the "thou shalt" and "thou should."

Idk why so many people have something against a tool that finally allows us to listen to this information in high quality…
If you prefer the old and crappy sound of the lectures it’s fine but don’t accuse me of deceit when all I am trying is to spread this information out…
@@InspiritedBean actually the video states this very fact in the first 15 seconds. Besides that the original sources were in the video description this whole time.
But why did you change the person who does the narration? I think this would have been better done in the voice and the British accent of the one who did the other videos. That voice and accent is so beautiful!
or the understanding of the contradiction
we cannot know the light without darkness.
this world is the darkness...WE are the darkness inside, with the light inside also.
our selfishness and self centered-ness is the separation from DIVINE LOVE that requires 'salvation'.
you believe you can provide your own salvation from your darkness, but you cannot...that is what God is demonstrating in each of us.
only by trying to be our own 'god' can we find the true God.
this is the real meaning of the 'tower of babel'...we think we can build our bridge to 'heaven'..."back to the garden"...but we cannot. and we will not.
we will find the more we try the farther we get.
the bigger they are the harder they fall.
"if i have all the knowledge in the world, and can understand every mystery, but have not LOVE, i am but a clanging gong"
that's what i hear from this video...a very loud self assured GONG!!
@@ochaiogbe1936I agree completely. Do not fear to ask questions or to voice opinions. Constructive criticism has helped me grow as an individual. An outside view may be upsetting at first but emotions aside it will lead to true growth.
This is beautiful on so many levels...Terrence knew exactly where we were headed...and where we must return to in order to take our next evolutionary step...we are at the crossroads once again...
That's not McKenna. If you enjoyed what was said, cool, but it's not McKenna and the fact that they labeled it incorrectly, totally lost my trust.
@@kristinetravis-ot6bb It is McKenna. It is part of "Terence McKenna--Lectures on Alchemy"
There is both original recordings and transcriptions. Here, obviously an AI is reading the transcriptions from the lecture. I dont like the AI thing either, so I am heading to the original. It is word to word.
I bet unfortunately soon "new lectures" will appear that will be generated completely by AI - both voice and text/meaning. Creators need to put visible disclaimer...
@@kristinetravis-ot6bbread the first 6 seconds of the video. I know it's hard on a platform that is not intended for reading, but it will give you what your ego is asking for.
Wow, i was not expecting you to put Terence on your channel and I gotta say, I'm very happy you did. What a bright and beautiful mind he had
It's not McKenna, it's a lie. No clue why, but they lost my trust by misrepresenting one of my heros.
having read an listened to a shedload of Terence McKenna and straight away i can hear the lack of Terence's persona an character and passion that comes though in his real work, this is defiantly A.I .
This is just an observation, not to criticize this new work, as i feel it has it place.
also i feel TM would have loved being immortalized by A.I
great work Agrippa's Diary
Just watch it, there is much to learn. I do my best to revive those important works because I feel the world needs them now, more than ever...
@@agrippasdiary i cannot agree more with you, keep them coming please,
I do really like this channel, but you definitely made it sound like you just removed the buzzing from an old audio recording.
@@agrippasdiary why not read and record it in your own voice and credit McKenna with the writings? A.I McKenna is fairly unsettling.
I agree that I dislike being misled. It destroyed my trust in the channel. Like McKenna, I'm a hard-core skeptic, I wish they had been transparent about it not being McKenna. The subterfuge is inexcusable imho.
Terrence Mckenna, the man that woke my mind up. What a brilliant man
That's not McKenna, idk y they're presenting it as him, no clue what their goal is, but misrepresenting this as Terence makes them questionable at best.
We should have had him for longer than we did. A true Sage.
That's not him.
I LOVE how he Connects Everything...and then it Flows!
This channel is truly so great! Every video has been a masterpiece that puts the final touches into the great work of the alchemists. You have carried the flame so far my dear brother 🙏 You are eternalized alongside those who bore the torch before you.
His lectures on Hermeticism really changed my life! Thank you for this channel. ❤️
It's not him.
Thank you! How wonderful to hear someone talk so very lucidly about matters that are very hard to put into words. Just fantastic! And I could care less that the voice isn’t that of a human being. Excellent presentation!
Bot
AI aint Terrence. This aint him.
Amazin!
I fyckin knew it
Oh for real...dang. New World upon us
They’re his words read by a guy with a high end voice modulator that sounds like Terrance. TM probably would’ve gotten a chuckle out of the absurdity of all of it. What a preposterous way to spend the scientific currency of not only rudimentary AI but also this platform and its capabilities. But he also saw the internet as the great liberator, equal to psychedelics, in the way it would modify human society. In a way this is one of the most TM things I can think of.
Yes. This is AI utilizing his voice. This AI makes numerous mispronunciations that Terrance would never make. Nevertheless, I appreciate this material being made available on UA-cam!
His tone is more measured here. Love it!
Thank you so much for everything you’ve contributed.
Thanks for listening! 🌞❤️🔥
@@agrippasdiaryis this an actual recording by Terrance or is this AI?

This is definitely not Terrence’s voice… it’s someone imitating his voice or it’s AI.
@@leahmoss3381 after I listened to it for about 10 minutes I realized it was actually him lol he was robotic reading it at the start
The Terence McKenna experience - Now in AI🔮
The AI is hardly an improvement. IMHO.
Enjoyed! Thank you! Didn't think I would, but I took a listen and was surprised! Good surprise for a rainy Sunday early evening!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🌞❤️🔥
Listening now I enjoy the many different perspectives of hermetic and Alchemy find the information stimulating thank you 😊😊
Absolutely excellent. What pleasure to listen to this brilliant well informed human.
The purpose of the magic is always changing, as the cosmos is always ticking. Terence’s conclusion fits in very well with the fact that we are entering the ascending Kali Yuga, or ascending/redeemed iron(dark) age. Shamanism, and spirit must be used to redeem an ancient natural nobility, a connection to the earth, and a fostering of a new humanity and world order.
Where have you learned these things
Not Terence.
Thanks for posting this talk.Informative,and thought provoking.Let's get back to the garden.
The Philosopher’s stone I believe is materialisation of the imagination , Imagination is the Supreme power, it probably takes some training, but there again I’m probably wrong ☺️
This is not far off from what Jung was saying about the Philosopher’s Stone, though he would’ve replaced your use of the term “imagination” with the phrase ‘the creation of consciousness’ or the term ‘the Self’.
Jung explained how the Philosopher’s Stone represents ‘the Self’; the ‘wholeness’ or ‘oneness’ archetype of the human psyche, which is perpetually attempting to move your psyche’s patterns of behavior toward balanced wholeness as you reconcile the chaos and disorder of opposites within. Jung didn’t use the term ‘the Self’ vaguely; he explained how, just as the stomach is a mechanism for breaking down what enters the body, ‘the Self’ is a mechanism in the psyche - the mechanism responsible for constantly seeking out wholeness, and, ultimately, higher order and truth within yourself and with regard to the outside physical world.
If you tell yourself you’re wrong hard enough you will be! Have faith in your hypothesis. I think it makes perfect sense, it is a fundamental operation of nature after all! The process whereby static Mind is converted into dynamic Thought and expressed as objective reality.
Appreciate the jungian insight from the guy above me too. This community is great
@@zacknight7640yep you’re spot on.
This is important stuff you’ve picked up on. I get a vibe you might often tell others around you (work colleagues, family members, people at school or university) about your deep insights and their response is typically “what are you on about”. Absolutely trust in this power in you, take that walk across the bridge where most dare not cross and have faith in yourself.
I love how the voice actually sounds like him. Great touch. Technology works wonders these days. We can hear their words in their own voice!
Does it tho? I mean it sounds like him…but i feel like it’s Ai or something. It’s weird, I’ve listened to so much Terrance, this def his voice but the pacing and phrasing seems weird. Like AI, or maybe I’m just paranoid everything is a robot! Ha! Def sounds like something he’d speak about, it just doesn’t have that classic Terrance flow.
@@davereynews yeah i agree it isn't perfect but it's still pretty cool.
@@davereynewsThrew me off immediately. This does feel A.I ish
@@SlumberBear2kI wouldn’t have known it was AI until he mispronounced “lead” as the verb rather than the noun intended, and maybe one or two other instances.
Terence recorded hundreds of hours of his views, why listen to someone else's views while pretending to be the man himself. Shady.
It's a shame TM dismissed the Atlantis myths. I feel like he's missed a trick there. But I guess Gobekli Tepe and Gunung Pandang hadn't been uncovered back then. Surprised he doesn't mention astrology either. Hermetic alchemy doesn't make much sense without astrology. But maybe TM considered that to be malarkey as well? He's much more convincing when chatting about psychedelics
I agree however without the ancient sites being discovered there was little evidence therefore it would have made his conclusions with psychedelics less convincing.
@@TheKBC14 Maybe. It's amazing to think that ideas that were too fringe even for TM are now the most plausible explanations. Do you know if TM and Graham Hancock ever had a recorded conversation?
Great lecture, I have heard it before and it is so much better without the background noise going ❤
It's not Terence, it's AI pretending to be. Shady.
Where did you hear the lecture originally? Where was it given?
Absolutely brilliant period
Terrence had a very specific patteen of speech these AI generated clips can never capture.
Fascinating. Thank you
I could listen to mckenna talk all day. Nice to hear him talk about this subject
That's not him.
@@kristinetravis-ot6bb sounds very like him.
@@TheNoSuchThingPodcastit's AI tts. It has no soul in it
@@TheNoSuchThingPodcast I'm still trying to get a straight answer about what exactly the creator of this text did. It is a AI voice- as stated in the notes of the video, but if this was ever an actual lecture that McKenna gave is unclear. My current guess is that it is compiled from McKenna's writings. My concern is to find out if the text is actually 100% McKenna or not. It is obviously based on his work, but if it is edited by a third party (my guess at this point) it's authenticity is not guaranteed. Actually, there is no way it could be guaranteed, in the world of AI. It might be a "lecture" by a third party using McKenna's ideas as content. A remix, of sorts. I'll be happy to find out.
Absolutely fantastic
Absolutely excellent, so nice to here TM go through the hermetic corpus, the new re animated TM works for me, what a sharp mind he had. 👍😀
It's not TM.
@@kristinetravis-ot6bb I did say re animated 😂, but who s to say he's not doing it from the other side.
A marvelous mind non the less, with humour. 🌙👍
This channel only gets better
This is brilliant.. I am already doing what you have recommended & wow it’s very interesting my specialty is the Feminine.. the mystery school teachings ❤
Wow. Thank you. Even tho, this is an AI conglomerate. 😂 Terrence would have still given this a thumbs up! Absolutely beautiful. 💜🙏💜
I think Terence may be slightly less enthusiastic than you assume. AI can be used to destroy his ideas, just as easily as promote them. WIth AI, motive comes first, not content.
Wow. Simply wow!
"Authentic being is what Alchemy is!"
Excellent Work
it wouldnt be an alchemical archaic revival if we didnt create a synthesis of the ancient and the modern
Thank you brother.
Santos Bonacci opened the gate to Hermetic knowledge for me
I have Dame Frances Yates' book (mentioned early here, as essential reading), "Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition" in a handsomely produced, large, glossy, black paperback, - but there are many passages, in Latin and various, other tongues, which the editors have neglected to translate into English, to the tune of $35, for whatever reason; probably, the exact sort of academic posturing against which Bruno inveighed, with such characteristically flamboyant candor. I thoroughly enjoyed a shorter work of Dame Frances Yates, "The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age". A third, "The Rosicrucian Enlightenment" looks promising, as well.
I love your videos they’re so captivating, my only ask is can you turn the over all volume up just slightly 😃 hard to hear while on the job site
Good stuff!
Interesting presentation insightful opinion
This is gold😊
This is AI, not McKenna
I like when Christopher Lee narrarates.
Like Aldous Huxley would say "EXTRAORDINARY". Thank you
McKenna was extraordinarily learnéd. 🤔( Green Fire UK )🌈🦉
AI Terrence McKenna voice is actually pretty convincing.
Yates was popular during McKenna’s time, but the scholarship in this area has moved drastically forward since her publications on the subject.
I wish TM was alive for the discovery of Göbekli Tepe. It would have blown his mind.
right!!
He is very much alive ❤❤❤
Thanks for the vid. Try to ensure that we know in the description that the video is x years old though.
Where did you get this recording? Was it cleaned up with AI or something? I've never heard a Terence Talk with the clarity before. And I've heard this exact talk, but sounding like a tape recorder was 10 feet away.
And I've never heard him pronounce Marik Casaubon that way before.
I feel like it's not him, it sounds like AI
I'm down here in the comments "looking for the others". He was talking about turning lead into gold but pronounced it "LEED". That's an AI . Somehow.
It is AI, as it was stated in the video notes. There were a number of mispronunciations in the video- something McKenna would never do. Where did you hear the original talk? Can you link it here?
I appreciate your efforts to make this available. However, I would much rather hear the original recording of Terrence McKenna, annoying background noises and all. Terrence’s voice, his pronunciation, his tempo, are all part of the magic. Listening to Terrence - without the interference of AI - is genuinely healing.
Hi. How did you get an Ai voiceover?
If only we had the voices of all the ancient teachers so we could hear them read their own lessons.
I found the knowledge of his thread interesting. The notion that psychedelics preceded Buddhism I would think is disproved by the Theosophical society. Psychedelic's can open your mind and remove some debris but also will illusion the participant over time.
Alchemys value is in a symbolic system for the mind that has a tradition of seekers searching for their highest purpose. I am not aware of any great practitioners of the Alchemy Arts in the information age. But I assume a few exist.
Perfect timing. Parmenides and Heraclitus are indirectly referenced with both sides being of one and the same. Back to Ancient Greece we go! 😃
Why change his voice with AI. It saddens me af. I've heard this in his voice
Sometimes when I listen to this kinda stuff. It feels like this is exactly what I am thinking haha kinda neat!
I miss when you would narrate the opening quote
I wonder what he says about the psychedelic community kind of opening up a space where buddhist language could take hold says about the origins of buddhism itself.
I really wish I was smart enough to grasp half of what Terrence talks about. I do some, but every sentence is like intellectual poetry
Terrence McKenna was amazing. But in one respect he was wrong. 10,000 years ago we were not just cave men with Flint. Gobekli tepi changed that idea. We don't know what we were at best. But we had more advanced understanding than we once thought
Anyone read the " Seth speaks" series? Great stuff.
Too bad he is not alive to continue the conversation, because I would love to ask him, that despite his prosaic and astute analysis, whether it is even theoretically possible to attain the high magical perspective of the ancients via
Any language model....I myself
Conclude that any and all language models will forever fall short of attaining prime
Core experience
Is this the Ai generated voice of Terrance reading your own written lecture?
Just my thought aswell..
Yes. As stated in the video notes. For better or worse.
It's weird to hear an AI basically mimicking Terence McKenna's lecture. In the original you can hear the natural inflections in his tone of voice. This sounds more flattened, but not necessarily bad.
There are tradeoffs when you clean the audio…maybe one day it will be perfect.
amazing!!! clear audio too. loved this! good secrets unfolded!
What is the source of this?. It sounds like a transcript being read “ in the voice of” Terrence McKenna. A date and explanation would be helpful.
It's AI. I'm still hoping to clarify the exact source material. Some say they have heard the actual lecture in this feed. I'd also love to know where and when it was.
The AI makes it weird though. Cheers, great vids
I'm on board
You'll be happy to know that The Grateful Dead did sing I Need A Miracle on January 29th ❤
Bruh. Ever since like 10th grade i have been merging the ideas of alchemy and hermetic philosophy. Imma tool till i break into smaller dibi mags
Holy Dang Bru, this is wild
It's interesting that McKenna recommends Francis Yates' book on Giordano Bruno for a primer on alchemy, when that book has not the slightest mention of it. Indeed, Bruno never made any reference to alchemy in his work, as far as I know. But the link is that Hermetic thought grounds both the Alchemical work and Bruno's theological polemics. Hermeticism has supposed links to Thoth, and Alchemy suggests the ancient land of Kemet. And yet, the prevailing scholarship, which McKenna cites, only dates these schools of thought to 1st-3rd CE. Such a conundrum!
Watch my video on Giordano Bruno for more context. Thank you for watching! 🌞
The last thing we need is an AI voice transcribing a real talk from the man himself
Excuse me, what is the source of this lecture, why does the voice repeatedly use words that aren't quite the right words (image instead of imagine), and why do you say the voice is AI generated? Is this or is this not a Terence McKenna talk? Where and when was it given?
Read the pinned comment and the description. Thank you!
❤
And you've accomplished all known tests of magical divinity any known abled bodied soul can imagine. Stay safe and strong beloved ❤

Thanks for sharing - it's a shame it's not actually TM talking, and in fact an AI rendition, but it's still cool
Smash that like button!
The texts have been Hellenized, however the work is much older. And the Greeks took the concepts laid out by the masters of Egypt.
💪🏻
C'mon people, yes the voice is AI but what's said in the video does belong to Mckenna. Just cause the voice is artificial doesn't mean the rest is too. Do a quick google search and you'll find the lectures from Mckenna on Alchemy and The Hermetic Corpus.
Thank you, the links to the original sources are in the description as well. ❤️🔥
For whatever reason I always hear a phaser effect on Terence's voice - even the a.i. version of it apparently. This would be one of the few examples of the good use of a.i. voice-overs. Unfortunately, an avalanche of a.i kitch and torpor in coming.
AI. Please put a disclaimer at the beginning of the video.
It’s literally stated in the first 15 seconds of the video that the voice has been remastered using AI technology.
The original lecture(audio/text) that was used to create this lecture is also in the description and in the pinned comment.
The degree of superficiality is outrageous. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to bring this content to the light when I receive such comments.
Agent McKenna is a wise man…
Have you all heard about INITIATION though? Thank you.

Can you please make TM ai voice read the Corpus Hermeticum?
Sadly I can’t. I will only remaster his original works.
Thermometers used to be great when they broke I collected the mercury.
You sound a lot like Terence McKenna.
Please consider using original source material only. This is clearly an AI version of Terrence McKenna as is evident by the pronunciation of words like 'lead' and 'pseudo'. 🙏🏻
