I could Name It but I won't, It Prefers to be Unnamed - Terence McKenna

[@artemisXsidecross]

Thanks you Danit, I enjoy these later talks where you can better understand the dynamic movement of Terence’s mind. This one is quite good. Lux Natura, a small publishing company founded in 1977 by Terence and his former partner Kathleen Harrison seems to be Botanical Dimensions as mentioned in this recording.

[@underdogpsychosis2841]

He's such a great orator and absolute wordsmith, he's one of the few people I enjoy listening to for hours on end. Appreciate you loads sister, thanks 🙌🏻

“Culture is a plot against the expansion of consciousness…..” brilliant.

[@lunkerjunkie]

I liked that too. culture is a form of control based on resisting non conceptual expression.

[@rexbelkin1329]

One of his best. The promise of art is that man is good. Wow

[@ericjhdlee]

Very eye-opening Danit. The Tao is "the way" and you can only point to it. The light, source, God, spontaneity, however you choose to describe it. Our world is form. You can touch it. It's tangible, like thoughts existing in our minds. The other extreme is ego dissolution, but you cannot have a sense of self without the ego (You cannot meditate forever). So the next question is befriending your ego. Your ego is also you! I think our society tends to obsess extremities of defining the ego. So basically, we are the middle way. Mediating higher realm and reality as we experience it through our senses. It's obvious, but most folks still treat religion and spirituality, as something to identify with, to own. To dictate how to live. I think there is a strong tendency to "own" the idea of God, as conceptual. We are born out of this world, so we must be God too. The more I examine my thoughts, subtle pushes on what to do, how to feel, how to act, it's like I'm talking to myself but that self is through God/the universe. So my "God" self is within me and I can access it. Quite interesting. The key here is we can conceive things we cannot communicate. It's just a matter of having the courage to let go of our preconvictions. That is kind of what I've been frustrated with. How do I know what I feel is the same as what a Christian feels? Or a Muslim? or a Buddhist? And so, I used to think I needed to "Subscribe" to a religion to meet God. In fact, God is with me in every mindful moment. It's just trusting and having faith without constantly worrying about it :)

Thank for sharing your eye opening point of view @ericjhdlee beautifully said

When we stop feed the ego and get free of any fear the ego desolves by itself because it has no more power over us and the senses and intelligence of existence elevate and expand 🕉️

What a blessing that these recordings exist

[@karsonmapes]

a truly enlightened being

[@jess_elaine]

every creator needs to hear this. what he is saying is so profound it’s going to take a few listens to even begin to comprehend 😅😅

[@m3rcurus]

I'm a huge fan of Terence but I don't know that I agree with one of his bigger points here. When he frames the state of the world as a failure of the/all artists that seems to ignore much larger influences on all of us. Humanity and the planet are going through a ton of crises on many different scales which can't be a coincidence. They're pretty much all the fault of humans but that's my point. In other talks Terence says we're going through an initiation, an alchemical process, and that makes more sense to me than that nobody has come up with a catchy enough song or whatever. Still tho I get what he's saying - art can be powerful

One of his best , The artisans have been stifled , mystery schools have been forgotten, the awakening must be swift

[@octavioavila6548]

He seems to be talking about the Tao "The name that can be named is not the eternal name." Therefore, "art and magic are the special province of [the Tao]." The Tao loves art and magic. The Tao loves the irrational. As opposed to the ego which loves rationality and science. The Tao wants to yield and let go. The ego wants to control and hold on. The Tao embraces Chaos and Unpredictability. The ego seeks Order and predictability.

Another inspiring talk. Things didn't really went the way that Terrence envisioned. I wonder if he's shaking his head up above.

Why did people laugh when McKenna said that psychedelics show you more art in a few seconds than what humankind has produced in 20,000 years? That is a simple fact, not a joke.

[@gerdaleta]

😮 through the use of my own sciences😮 I'm beginning to understand what he was talking about my God😮 I have seen the yawning universe😮 we don't know anything😮 there are people who are making AI supercomputers who have not seen this😮 that sounds crazy😮 how can you build another mind if you haven't at least been inside your own😮

Jesus visited me in Spirit when I cried out to God in jail 18 years ago.... 🙏 I read The Entire Bible in Jail 6 months . My foundation in Faith was Set. I gave up my grey empty heart of Stone inside a Red Holy ⛺️ tent I placed it on a Shelf while Jesus was with me in my dream in jail. 7 days later another dream I was filled with Fire from above and it was The Holy Spirit. I then walked by Faith Believing and Giving in my trials and tribulations for 18 years up until now. Believing in God's Righteousness through Jesus faith on The Cross for penalty of Our Sins I meditated day and night and GOD FINALY EXPUNGED MY RECORD IN COURT FULLY. FOREGIVEN BY GOD'S GRACE AND LOVE AND UNDERSTANDINGS AND COMPASSION I AM FREE

[@abel7741]

@MD-cd1wwHe does sound crazy, but think about it bro, he’s in a better place now, you’d rather have people in jail, than people who are proudly representing being a changed man?

My life is quite different. Religion was a chain that dragged me down and psilocybin broke that chain for me, allowing me to swim out of the toxic waters of a dogmatic life involving religion and into the fresh air of novel understanding through process. The path you walk works for you and I accept that, hopefully you can accept that the path I walk works for me. Our paths may not be for each other, but the paths can still be walked through the lens of empathy and love.

Science is the special province of the Ego? Spoken like a true new age wingnut. Let me guess..forget about verifiable claims...go with the power of positive attraction! It's not anything like wishful thinking...it's on a completely different plane. A plane that I pulled out of my behind. Science is the special province of people that want proof and live in the REAL world. But maybe if you WISH hard enough you can will it into existence. Good luck with that. 😮

[@royvalckx5969]

Haha ego much? 😅

[@BailelaVida]

The proof that you seek is from your senses together with the construct you build through your memes. The senses have been established according to every single philosopher and scientist to fool you. In fact, it MUST fool you for you to survive (look this up). Think about that a little, Jeff
