Terence McKenna - Everything Teaches

A few months before the release of his book "True Hallucinations", Terence McKenna was asked to recount the experiment at La Chorrera, and since he "ran out of material" for the workshop he gives a detailed account of the events of 1971.

Terrence mckenna is the person that taught me to believe in my own ideas, 10 years ago, at the age of 15. I relish in the fact that I can still find new revelations through his words all these years later.

[@dilmarto23]

I was literally just thinking that. So good to see I'm not alone in revisiting

[@RyanWhite717]

He was amazing 👏

[@lennartvdsluijs]

Awsome!! He was and actualy still is such a wise man. Not always right but he backed up what he believed in. He ia a great example to have. He made me realize even more we have to connect back to nature.

Listening to the unique sound of Terence's voice is a trip in itself. He relaxes me.

[@lennartvdsluijs]

Right!? I listen often to TMK to just fall asleep on his profound lectures.

[@idlyblare]

Yess totally agree

[@RobinBirdsong]

Yesss! I think of his voice as a sound bath of sorts 😁

[@miaharrod]

Yes, I turn on his videos at night and set my phone under my pillow to sleep, it's a good sleep aid because his voice is so magical.

[@landryprichard6778]

One of the best. And the sound of jungle life in the background. 💝

[@Omoiyari23]

I agree

[@efleishermedia]

Terence was not a cosmonaut as we understand that term today. He was, more than anything, an alchemist in the pure sense. I've begun to see all his work not just as an exploration of tryptamines but as a lifelong search for the Philosopher's Stone.

[@DustyNothing]

Very much so, one of his longest and most important video lectures was called ‘Seeking the Stone’.

[@aljabirxiju9475]

what the hell do you mean as we understand the term today. there is one definition. sounds like you mean psychonaut. an alchemist in the "pure sense". there is one sense - they deal with purity of substance so the idea there is an impure sense is ironic as well as absurd. you must seem to like the way you sound.

[@fixmyhouse]

If you’ve read (or tried to) read The Invisible Landscape, this incredible talk clarifies much of the book. Thank you for putting this up. A true TMK treasure.

[@vancewagner4203]

Yessir, that book is a challenge. I put it down after the first chapter haha. Planning on revisiting it and focusing more, I suspect there’s much wisdom in those pages

[@austinhageman6148]

Hoooly shit, that idea of the psychedelic "hum" being the "electron spin resonance signal" of harmine is SO FASCINATING. I love that whole string of thoughts leading up to that. And the fact that sound waves can apparently cause the intercalation of DNA! You can 100% tell that sound healing is doing stuff to you when you experience it (that's my experience anyway), but I fucking love getting scientific evidence of it like that. This is a bit of a tough lecture to follow for me lol, but super worth it.

[@NickBatinaComposer]

Honestly man, this has been a huge point of interest for me, and I dunno if that’s QUITE it. I don’t think it is the intercalation of harmine into the dna slots, the reason being because this sound is always present in your conscious perception if you look deeply enough! That being said, in terms of function, the molecules certainly amplify the sound. Secondly, the way this sound interacts with healing-type musics could be how a positive benefit is translated from the abstract musical language (there’s a certain something to intervallic relationships and the ways neurons interact in a higher dimensional perspective, but I haven’t done any research on this kind of thing yet, that’s gonna take sweat lol). Anywho, I wanted to chime in cuz, while McKenna’s ideas could take some tailoring into the newer ages, its becoming increasingly pertinent to listen and take notes from this guy 😂😂😂

[@landryprichard6778]

I remember first reading The Invisible Landscape 25 years ago. Very hard to read. Right up there with Jonathan Ott's book about Ayahuasca. But very interesting.

[@crono3339]

The psilocybin hum was a pretty obvious phenomenon to me and my brothers as we experimented many nights in the woods. Even before we ever heard of Terence, or I had read True Hallucinations. I have a feeling for what he was getting at because I had very similar ideas. The sound was like an echoing at first. We were in the hollers in Kentucky down below the hills by brooks running to a creek. The sound was like coming over the hill then it got louder and things got weirder. Then it became like a truck engine in which I could hear voices, singing, roaring, coyote howling, screeching, etc. We would look at each other like WTF DUDE haha. Then entities, so many different kinds, often the louder the sounds, the more feeling of presence. I worried I was nuts for awhile, now a decade later I feel okay having found this community haha.

[@DavisMultiverse]

Have you done one where you're wrapped in like a water bed type thing then the vibrations go through the water? Someone was telling me bout it and they made it sound really good. Like it really hugs you all over

[@Cakin]

It's on KZbin...Terrance read the invisible landscape aloud and it's fantastic. Covers it in full fullness

[@FormlessUponForm]

This is without a doubt the most gripping talk I’ve had the pleasure of hearing Terence give. The sheer magnitude of information, the profundity of the experience in such detail. Truly riveting.

[@XohjaiSbarkeater]

So a lot of this information has been disproved by science by 2000.

[@OnerousEthic]

@@XohjaiSbarkeater could you maybe throw a little light, rather than a lot of shade? Maybe give at least one specific example, instead of indiscriminately throwing a wet blanket over everything?

[@FormlessUponForm]

[@imustkeepremindingmyselfofthis]

@@XohjaiSbarkeater I humbly request examples, thank you.

[@jeffersonpereira4767]

@XohjaiSbarkeater Indeed, it's an ongoing (likely never-ending) exploration, and if we can see further away today is thanks to all the people that came before, and of course, made their own discoveries and mistakes. The path is forward, so the example would help to get clarity and move forward in a constructive way. Otherwise, your comment will be disregarded and you loose the opportunity to share your experience/perspective with all of us who walk this path along with you. Hope to hear from you sooner than later :) Cheers!

For those of you younger humans just getting into McKenna, it becomes more understandable once you realize that a fair amount of the language itself was created due to currently available communications, at least linguistically, failed to convey the ideas. His genius is unrivaled...

I can actually explain some of these things in detail. I remember Terence’s life and have seen amazing unbelievable things that I can show and explain to people. Things like that actually happen quite often for me. Sometimes daily. I can’t find anyone who wants to hear about it. It’s way too much to type out. Would anyone be interested? It’ll blow your mind.

[@oolaoola]

If you type it out I’ll take the time to read it, I think just say it and who it’s meant for will find it, it is respectful you ask before sharing. Someone watching KZbin is someone asking questions by them clicking on a video so you could make videos and anyone who watches is essentially saying yes they’d like to listen and you could reach more people/ not have to wait for someone to say yes before expressing ideas so you can get to more ideas. And the data transfer of KZbin video is better than text can be because there is more data that can be transferred so you can get your ideas across more clear.

rather advanced! seems to me he reached the ever-so-most-important point in the time-space continuum (?) where the speech , the Logos we dear so much, the power of focus, and thoughts: Create. Materialize matter in this world, from an other to here. So simply to put it. "Far streched" as he points out at one of these keynotes, "far strech" is deeply understated. And despite all peculiarities, my only thought was: "Oh Shit! He reached it! Wow! "

With this whole time wave maybe he was predicting his existence and time and 2012 is when terrance basically came back into us into consciousness in internet form so it was the end of time for him that he predicted his death and resurrection just the years were slightly off and his comeback after 2012 in a metaphysical form . What I'm saying is maybe he predicted his own time wave and time wave could work if we all came up with our own time wave perhap. ....also That stuff about psychedelics being actives is genius
