i've been listening to mckenna for about six years now, and i've taken much of his advice seriously it's taken time to integrate his ideas into the way i live, especially with ceasing consumption and producing art, but the amount of value that i can feel has been added to my lived experience is significant at first i was skeptical of the idea of the archaic revival; it sounded a bit too scifi for me... but now i find myself dedicated to its cause

[@artemisXsidecross]

I began my journey in ’66 when I took Sandoz LSD-25 that was obtained from a medical doctor; and at that time legal. I began aware of Terence McKenna in the mid 1980’s. The archaic revival has been known by other names and by other people as well. I read Henry David Thoreau in a similar way that I listen to Terence McKenna. In fact two books by David Abram ‘The Spell of the Sensuous’ and ‘Becoming Animal’ were mention by commenters here and Terrence himself in this very audio. Welcome to the journey.

The key and the toughest part is divorcing society and rejecting the control mechanisms, which we are entirely surrounded by. The hermitage is the only reprieve.

[@FoursWithin]

Yes. The Spell Of The Sensuous which he recommended at the 12 min mark, is an outstanding book for anyone who enjoys reading topics of phenomenology , perception, linguistics, the natural world, indigenous people, and more. And the writing is equal to McKenna's eloquence..

[@artemisXsidecross]

I totally agree and David Abram’s second book ‘Becoming Animal : An Earthly Cosmology’ is also quite good. Terence McKenna was a good scout to what the frontier may hold, but not the only one to pursue the trail of becoming. @FourWithin I liked your channel and your play lists 👍

[@artemisXsidecross]

Once again thank you Danit for an appropriate topic of ‘Feelings and Mathematics’. Feelings are known as Phenomenology which is a philosophy of experience. ‘For phenomenology the ultimate source of all meaning and value is the lived experience of human beings. All philosophical systems, scientific theories, or aesthetic judgments have the status of abstractions from the ebb and flow of the lived world.’ We may all have the probability of mind expansion while the system we live under is becoming more contracted and constipated. The tension between the two is still unrelenting. “A forward escape through technology” would Terence McKenna say the same in 2024 technology? I do wish to know what he would say. Terence recommended David Abram ’s book ‘The Spell of the Sensuous’ and it is well worth reading and an understanding.

“…Be it life or death, we crave only reality. If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle in our throats and feel cold in the extremities; if we are alive, let us go about our business. Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it. My instinct tells me that my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and fore paws, and with it I would mine and burrow my way through these hills. I think that the richest vein is somewhere hereabouts; so by the divining-rod and thin rising vapors I judge; and here I will begin to mine.” Henry David Thoreau, Walden

[@parsoniareigns]

Thanks.

[@FetchCraft11]

Bravo Terence bravo. 👏. Top job

[@2brickmusic]

Salvia gives me a bridged feeling, to a test of my character, while it leaves my physical body revolving around and around a false sense of security being pulled out from under me like a cosmic rug

[@dannynewman8715]

Thank you 😊

[@FetchCraft11]

Heaviest trips I ever had were on Salvia divonorum. 20x extract smoked in the middle of the local soccer stadium at night. Ten years ago, still processing haha

[@sawkup]

what happened?

[@mrjonez-w3u]

Nice and thanks..

[@1steeeez]

Thanks

[@wrathfeeling]

In 1996 talks about virtual reality. And me getting awareness of virtual reality in 2015 or so. So about a 20 year gap between being aware of things. Its 2024 now. And around 2045 is quite some human merging with machine plans happening. The avatar project of the singularity. That is near too. Very recent already the elon musk brain chip. So I guess the advances are much quicker now. And no longer have to wait for 2045. Things go in faster motions. The AI with its capabilities speed things up too. Interesting.

[@lilco2163]

Damn I think I’ve heard every Terrance McKenna talk ..

[@Thanksphils]

This is what I think but then new ones pop up

[@timdaniels3776]

This is the first compound found in nature active at that range.

[@LPyellowking]

1:09:53 Good sneeze

[@alexekuznetsov]

I wish he talked more about the math. I am going to dedicate some time to reading what Ralph Abraham produced in the next few weeks.

[@kimphilipson2821]

👍❤

[@MartinezBros805]

💚

[@Professor_Vince]

2:24 Oh, my dear sweet Terrence. You would have loved fake news. Corpo prebunking, too.

[@0ptimal]

6:14 Michael levin talks about future anatomical compilers. In a sense biological 3d printers. Though he doesnt like that term.

[@SINC8FOR8V8R]

❤‍🔥🗝

[@Micheal313]

Consciousness in a nutshell - ya...no. Yeah. No. Yeah. No. Yeah....no? Yeah. ?

[@castleenterprises23]

Did he not just explain how the blue people are in the movie Avatar and how they connect with the tree of life

[@Radiohomunculus]

I’d be curious to hear what Terrence would have to say about the growth and further entrenchment of super billionaire oligarchs. Particularly a character of Elon musk.

[@catangle51]

Oh he would make him laugh
