Terence McKenna - Existence Beyond The Grave

Terence McKenna speech given in the open probably at Palenque in Mexico, year unknown. Terence talks about the entities in another dimension and gets simultaneously poignant and inspiring many times throughout the lecture.
""What we are on the brink of learning as a culture is that our terror of death is a misapprehension of how the universe works. I mean, we're like caterpillars, contemplating pupation and saying: My God, nothing could be worse! No longer will I chew on the cabbage leaves, no longer will I spend my time moving around on the underside of foliage, instead something horrible and unimaginable. I don't want to become a chrysalis and lie still, and exhibit no sign of life. And the caterpillar never notices, unless there are shaman caterpillars, that what are these miraculous creatures moving through the air?"

Terence: "uhhh, im not a chemist" Also Terence: Goes on to explain the process in 5 minutes.

[@ronbeee]

He’s a humble Genius

[@env0x]

the process he explained is wayyyy over-complicated. all you need is lye and naptha, mhrb and water. with that you can extract near-pure nn-dmt from mhrb. mix the water and lye in a large pint jar til the lye dissolves, then add in the mhrb (*shredded is best) and naptha, and shake it couple times a day for a few days then let it rest until everything is settled. take naptha out of the top layer with a glass turkey baster, put it a tiny ball jar and throw in the freezer. the dmt in the naptha crystalizes while in the freezer, sticking to the sides of the jar. then you just dump the naptha out and let the crystals evaporate. and you can use bestine if you want to clean it some more, mix it, freeze it, dump it, let it evaporate again, keep doing more if you want cleaner.

I find that the more I truly believe “everything is always working out for me” (by realizing it every time it happens - building a deeper and deeper belief) the more everything actually works out for me. - I now experience it on the daily in sometimes dramatic ways. My point is, the idea of the force is a dramatized version of reality and our ability to effect the way the moment unfolds.

[@terrywillis2652]

Take 100gm of Mimosa hostilas. Can order online. Grind it up in a bean grinder until it's powered. There will be fluffy sawdust to some of it. In a glass bowl add 80ml of white vinegar. Stir than add about 1/4 cup hot water. Cover let sit 1 hour. Add 80gm of pickling lime and stir for about 30 minutes. Will turn from purple to dark Grey. Cover and let sit

[@terrywillis2652]

From there it gets a little tricky you need Naphtha, it is flammable so no open flame, no plastic. Add about 80ml to mixture as it sits in a pan of warming water. Don't let mixture get water in it. Stir it in letting it touch all the mixture. It will stay clear. Stir10 minutes. Now the DMT is in the clear solution. Pour it into a small glass pie pan or rectangular glass container. Put in freezer overnight. Tipped a little so it gathers on one side. Drain and let Crystal's dry. You now have DMT. 😃

I am so in awe of this man, and his mind. This, right now, feels like the culmination of all McKenna Talks I've ever heard! I'm cracking up, then my jaw drops, then something in my head goes - FWOOHF! -, and again! Just incredible. ...*maybe* I should trip more often, it's been decades! Then again: *maybe* Terence shoulda been around more natural births. As our son's midwife said 'birth and death are very similar in nature, and shit can get gnarly. People can die' -sure, but: There's no mention, at all, about the actual, practical, reality of an only very slightly traumatic birth, or even an ecstatic one. That does, occasionally happen, outside the paradigm/machine of 'normative abuse'. So from that angle I gotta say the image falls a bit flat for me - which may be a good thing, as I'm not Uber-keen on the transcendental object at the end of time, just yet! 😄😬😱🥱🙄🥲🤪 And, while at 1:07: he hasn't mentioned it [yet?] : I'd never heard him talk about souls &ancestors, like this, before....

You are Terence's spokesperson? I have so many questions!!

[@the.real.roxxo.]

i agree, in one of the new talks you hear him rail against the artists in LA who look down on you if you arent halfway through your second sex change operation. he spoke out against cultural marxism and credited DMT for destroying his marxist tendencies. The bottom line: there is no way you can be pro-consciousness and culturally "woke" at the same time. Wokeism is a regressive form of thinking that is a rooted in a hatred for western/white culture, and an oversimplification of the issues that plague modernity. Woke leftists are like birds who claim to hate their cage but secretly love it. It's safe to say Terence would have laughed in the face of BLM and the modern Democrat party just as much as the religious right wing of his time

I love these McKenna talks but it's so frustrating when people chime in and talk about themselves or some other nonsense for several minutes when I just want to listen to Terrence.

It's like listening to a Beethoven symphony with occasional interruptings by a garage band that doesn't know how to play their instruments.

1:08 into the discussion Terrence makes a critical point on "Extinction". What''s interesting about this was his own UV Berkeley training in Conservation of Resources which is a translation of "energy" Energy that flows as Spirals Since Terrence knows what conservation is, coupled 2 extinction let's take it to conservation biology of DNA operating system antennas of consciousness that is using that communication platform and receiver to translate the biota environment it finds itself in experiencing that environment What Conservation biologists will inform us of is the DNA fossil record of extinction And what is found is that vampiric consciousness is the first to go extinct Why is that? B cuz its eating up the supply of energy and not leaving any other energy it is sharing with others Oakland Razo It's that simple U graduate into a higher dimension by love and service to others That's sharing energy at no charge like a Sphere of light which is a Sun a child learns of early in life A Star is free energy How simple does it have 2 B 2 accelerate a childs learning curve
