I consider myself a creative, an electric shaman, a psychedelic explorer extrordinaire, a conscious advocate of the advance of evolving humanity, hopefully into the exploration of evolution of humanity into the vast expanse of inner AND outer space. Be an agent of the change you want to see... Thanks, Terrance!... I agree with one poster who said his main influence was Ralph Waldo Emerson, Alan Watts, and Terrence here... I would add Walt Whitman to that list-- see "Leaves of Grass", an American classic...

Honestly the process of making art is like a low-level sorcery the finished result is literally enchanted with whatever feeling or intention or thought the artist was trying to express.

[@lucianocastillo694]

What got me was when he was talking about how modern art stopped advancing towards the transcendental because people who make art now direct their creation towards the idiosyncratic. I didn’t know what tf that meant until I looked up idiosyncratic only to then have to look up idiosyncrasy. Means the way of thought of an individual. Then he goes on saying that this way of creating art hurts the individuals dow or dou because the dow is nothing but the transcendental creative without ego & the idiosyncratic art modern artists make is created combining the ego into the creation. He goes on and says if they stir to close to idiosyncrasy they loose the dow connection. But modern artists don’t want to be full dow or they’ll loose their sense of self -the ego. He then said exactly that and my mind was blown. Then I connected all that to the rap artists mostly pop smoke & Travis Scott bc I really think their art is almost fully idiosyncratic but you can still peep highly transcendental moments in their music, great artists non the less. Then he said people who make idiosyncratic art think they are making art that pertains to what they feel but really they are tapping into an archetype lodged in their subconscious. I disagree because sometimes they are actually the embodiment of that archetype as he is the embodiment of the teacher/mystic archetype. But then again human archetypes are in fact ego which in his beliefs, are not the representation of the transcendent. My mind was blown from all this talk not because I didn’t know this, but because I never could really explain it. Only thing that bothers me is that he doesn’t consider the idiosyncratic art as real art because he says art is the expression of the transcendental. But art that isn’t transcendental is still art because it still comes from the transcendental but is channeled through the ego or a Meme (really theme) Artist that are very creative can also channel what they believe the future will hold (future archetypes they believe will exist or themes and memes they believe will come true), they just have to feel the time compare it with what’s happening now and let the dow create it, so they create an ego that is not theirs but is there in the creation. Or they can channel any ego that they see in someone else. Transcendental art is not the only art that can bring humans forward but it is a vital stepping stone. Artists now a days need to sprinkle it in to remind people to get on board to the goal of the transcendent. I wish I could talk to this man

"... to save the world through art and the pursuit of meaning." YES.

[@scottbaylo]

This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately, and I do believe that specific art can change specific lives, but no single art can save the world the way things are currently set up. This might take a minute to explain, I still believe it's possible for music (or any art) to save the world, but our culture (at least in the U.S.) turns everything precious into a commodity, so there's hardly enough time to enjoy anything, let alone analyze the deeper meaning. Even as someone who hasn't been involved in the popular music loop (put the same 3-5 songs on every radio station, repeat them ad nauseam, discard, rinse/repeat) since I was 12, the only difference in the underground scene is that nobody is telling you what 3-5 songs you should like. I'm just now starting to analyze lyrics I've been singing for 30 years! Punk rock absolutely changed my life (and mostly in a positive way), but was it the motivation for a revolution? Not really, it just pointed out what I already suspected - that we live in a corrupt world, run by greedy people, and the only thing you can effectively change is yourself... bummer!

[@FaroZac]

@@scottbaylo I agree a single piece of art can't change the world. But maybe we can begin to change it. We can trigger a ripple effect of transformation just by attempting to put the truth out there. And if that truth is presented in a meaningful, novel, or cathartic format, the probability of transformation goes up.

[@ricardomaza6172]

@@FaroZac I dont believe it. Enlightenment, if it is, is within. Change yourself and forget about changing the world. Once everyone realizes this, maybe...maybe then the world doesnt need change, because we have already changed. We are not more enlightened today, than we were 500 years before Christ: "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." - Socrates. Humanity is the same. We will be the same until we end ourselves. And i believe we will. History is a pendulum. We have darker and lighter ages, but we are on, or getting to a point, were the dark side of things appears to be wining again. The difference now from back then, is technology. And I believe we will bury ourselves with it. The solution to Fermi's Paradox is that Civilizations either are destroyed, or, that they destroy themselves. I hope we do not. But...I mean...do you have eyes and ears?

[@TudorIrimescu]

@Condoriano Bils I think he refers to artists as creative individuals, not profession. Leonardo Davinci was an artist in the traditional sense, making visuals, but also an engineer. Both are creative endeavors, engineers are artists in this sense. What you may refer to is the traditional "only execute" engineer which is not an artistic engineer.

[@dethkon]

@Condoriano Bils “we are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams.” I think that Terence had an affinity for Acid-House and Aphex Twin in particular, as he references him in a few later lectures.

[@dethkon]

@Condoriano Bils In that case, let’s have the alchemists and Jungians figure it out! I view the engineer as a chef who follows a strict recipe, and the artist as a chef who relies more on intuition, and techniques learned by trial and error. But of course, they compliment each other. They’re two sides of the yin/yang. A great engineer is a bit of an artist, a great artist is a bit of an engineer. Or maybe it’s a Left-Brain/Right-Brain dichotomy. It’s just a theory, I don’t know what it means. But it makes sense to me.

[@mattbrown292]

It seems like some of you lack empathy. Engineering is just raw creativity combined with a specific set of tools. The painter has their canvas and brush, the Engineering has their problem and a toolbox full of functions. The fact that youd try an argue that an engineer isn't an artist or on these arbitrarily lines created by the inaccuracies of natural language is just unfortunate. Once you know the way broadly you will see it in everything.

[@divided_and_conquered1854]

For your information, the term "meme" was coined back in 1975 by Richard Dawkins in his book "The Selfish Gene." A meme is not a picture still with text on it. A meme is an IDEA or THOUGHT or DOGMA that reproduces itself in the MINDS of people. Just as the gene replicates itself in the BODIES of humans, MEMES replicate themselves in the MINDS of people. So you see, Terrence using the word meme in 1990 was already FIFTEEN YEARS *AFTER* the term was coined.

After 24 hours online, and thousands of viewers, yesterday, youtube removed. It was censored! I am glad they are not censoring Terence Mckenna.

[@bellezavudd]

Yeah its pretty bad. I even confronted a channel owner because 70% of his content is mckenna with ads. What really fired me up was learning that the uploader guy completely disagrees with McKennas basic philosophy. Hes an turd , making $$$ off other people's work .

Each of these insights, every single one, can also be obtained through deep meditation. He is speaking 100 percent truth. Yes it helps if you are an artist, and there are many artists working to promote this understanding, but you can also achieve this. Start a meditation practice today and keep at it. Nature is ready and waiting to make you happy.

I think, the rise of creativity as a new human skill was unique in history. Because it was the first time when people started to produce things with their hands that were made for the main purpose of beeing interpreted by others. This implies the notion that other individuals like me also do have this same skill. This skill requires an experience that I cant describe to myself. I believe the notion of consiuosness derives from this breakthrough in nature. The impulse to carve objects into known forms, or to distribute painting in a wall forming known specially meaningfull forms, comes from the need to see if others react to my creation in the same way I do. Is enjoying the wonder too see that others also have this strange inner chat with theirself. And the appreciation of the realization that other also have an internal world. The mind as we know it today was arising.

When I look around, I find that there are so many things that are just not pretty. I once had this vision or more like mantra, that practicality should always go hand in hand with beauty. This is how I create my living spaces. It looks like I actually took that back from my mushroom trips. My friends say my flat looks like a mushhroom trip. Not that I have psycadelic art hanging around but rather, the mushroom experiences told me to trust my judgement of what seems aestheticly "correct". I think if more people would have a psycadelic experience the world that humans shape would be significantly more beautiful. Probably also more places left to nature as you realise that nature in itself is one master sculpturer

I have tried to explain that to people and they look at me like I am talking garble. I feel that in a sense I have always had one foot planted in this world and one in an other ‘world’. It certainly can F with ones focus on a particular path or idea - music is the only ‘place’ I am all myself and feel both ‘realities’ simultaneously equally. I tried LSD when I was younger decades - ago, and not too impressed. A great light show but that was about it. I just never got anything out of it. I think that DMT would be quite different. Peyote is another but I understand the journey getting there is pretty uncomfortable on the body. McKenna was a very articulate intellectual whom spoke without concern of being judged or criticized - he welcomed naysayers to challenge his ideas and views; so few intellects are speaking on these subjects these days... media=fear. Wonder what he’d say about the condition of humanity and the world today. A man with such foresight!

[@urghey990]

the masculine and the feminine are both equivalent and important parts of our nature, and McKenna's constant upholding of the feminine and demonizing of the masculine was his biggest error and the reason his messaging only appeals to the weak and powerless. It's easy to want peace when you're incapable of war. You can't build unless you're capable of destroying. Your mercy is meaningless unless you have the capacity to hand out punishment. McKenna didnt understand the masculine at all. This is why Joe Rogan babbling mindlessly about dmt will be heard by a thousand times more people than any McKenna lecture ever will. Literally because its coming from someone who has a deeper voice and doesn't have noodle arms. It matters more than you think and certainly more than you would probably like to think.

I seriously believe that the art of placing your prayer stone onto the earth when inspired to do so, was the original birth of spiritual consciousness of man, the primate. Therefore the archaic revival would be to reiterate and repeat this first spiritual custom. It is the original quantum entanglement prayer of early man, the offering of a man's stone in hand, to a mystery. And it was his budding love relationship with this new experience, this physical universe as it first appeared to him/her. We came here to learn how to make a more perfect love relationship with aspects of Creation that were in need of recharge and new vigor. The stone delivering prayer tradition is elegant and easy, joyful, safe, and accessible to all human beings of any age, babies or octagenarians, no experience needed, no teacher needed, no liturgy needed, no priest or minister needed, understood instinctually by every single human, may he be a mensch, may he be a quantum physicist, or may he be a down's syndrome ward of the state, anywhere on the earth, from desert to Pacific island, and during any point of history any time in our ascent. Just think about it. It is amazing. It is deep, deep, deep. It is the original meme. .
