Terence McKenna - New Phase Of Human Existence

Terence McKenna on the necessary steps for humanity to survive.
Art by Jim Figora / jimmy.figs
Talk from an ethnobotanical conference in Palenque, Mexico.
"There's no going back, we've burnt this place to the ground."
"If we believe in the dynamics of nature, if we believe in the rightness of being then there should be no anxiety, there should be no alarm. This is what psychotherapy and shamanism and all these things exist for, is to spread the truth about the situation so that we don't clutch, and we don't hold on and spread panic and hysteria... and that's what I have learned from psychedelics."

[@johnhillyer584]

Terrence Mckenna is one of the greatest philosophical minds to have ever existed. As is often the case he was ahead of his time.

[@imnotmilton8591]

terrence is one of the greatest articulators of all time. He’s able to speak in such an understandable and concise manner about things that are so complex and hard to even think about. With 0 errors or “uhhs” and “ums” absolutely impressive

[@mattodasilva]

When I tried DMT I saw this very evolutionary process unfolding before me, almost exactly how the art work depicts it.

This is beautifully insightful. Terrance obviously had met with the management on the other side, as he once said. This is so worth listening to many times over as one can only take many messages from each session.

[@Starlightlive]

Agreed , he was unbelievable brilliant in his ability to understand evolution aginst popular belief. And his vocabulary can't be matched

[@At0ThEb]

And in the beginning he goes out like "no idea what to talk about and I'd rather nap but let's see where this takes us" i just love to listen to his mind doing it's thing

The ego is the root cause for societies current situation/pending extinction.terrence is absolutely correct.

[@balasnicolae1567]

The ego is everything that pushes us forward. The ego is the manifestation of will and existence.

[@gratefulkm]

@@balasnicolae1567 Will and existence is suicide, That's the point, we already know what happens, because it happens every single time A slowly degrading Amygdala , leaves humans FEELING no love and attachment No amount of word play and wiseacrings change this, the Amygdala is really only a tiny bit responsive to the PFC , Tiny imagined emotions are not comparable to the real thing This degradation slowly builds hysteria, until something sparks all the PFC dominant people to tear each other to shreds And whatever the PFC changed , just returns to what it was before, Kind of rubbing salt in the wound that the PFC is almost totally ill relevant and so are all the humans physical manifestations Humans are not even the most vital, intelligent life on the this planet

I remember on my first trip.. around 1991, walking into a newly built housing estate at around midnight.. with it's yellow street lamps and perfect little gardens.. and right then.. I just knew we didn't fit the landscape.. humanity was a blasphemy of nature.. When ever I took LSD again it was always in the woods.. with the trees at night, away from any manmade structure as much as possible. Wish I knew Terrence was a thing back then .. only found him the last couple of years.

[@maple50]

nature is a blasphemy to itself look deeper, humanity as flawed as it is, is an ameliorative process to the chaos that is nature itself, hinting that humanity is a divine intervention..... perhaps your revelation was more akin to that of projection of your own fallen nature and man's fallen nature and how we need a redeemer?

[@songofthetrees579]

[@benbrown2239]

It’s fucking endless dude! I mean maybe after two years of listening to one hour lecture… One hour a different lecture every night for two years will you begin to discover and appreciate this gentleman‘s true depth of knowledge and cross referencing store house. It’s a rare commodity to find in the human experience. I have quite literally thousands and thousands of hours of his lectures… No exaggeration whatsoever and you’ll never hear the same thing twice. Also, read his books. Incredibly well written and oh the journeys he will go on. He was so far ahead of his time.

[@kamilaewska1663]

Every time I listen to him I am so absolutely in awe of his incredible mind, his beautiful words, and I am so grateful to be able to witness that even if just on here. What a tremendous gift he was to us. It makes me wonder why no one else is having these sort of conversations, why we don’t wonder more, explore more intellectually, ask who are we and what’s brought us here... and it baffles me that psychedelics are still illegal when there is no solid ground for any claims that they are harmful to people. They’re only harmful to the establishment, I guess this is the reason for their prohibition.

[@alexxxO_O]

"They’re only harmful to the establishment, I guess this is the reason for their prohibition." God damn right.

As a 25 year old man getting more and more disappointed in modern human nature, hearing about how old is better and the longing in our brain is a real memory of the last sane moment actually made me tear up. He's so right about this not being about him, or me, or you.. it's about everything and anyone who doesn't get that really needs to calm the fuck down, and I guess take some shrooms or something.

[@prototype8137]

Well ive been aware of gim for 20 years and I think hes wrong about quite a few basic fundamentals. He has you all fooled. If anything hes teaching intro into occult not enlightmentment. 1 part truth 3 parts lies.

[@VGaleno]

@@prototype8137 I agree with you. Not to get into details but no public persona would get famous with truth. We are in the realm of the possible, and I think he's done a great job as an inspiring wordsmith. I lot of the work is to filter multiple sources. If I were to become a public person myself I already know at least a few of the lies I would have to tell lol maybe that's why I don't do it

[@patswayze7359]

what are the basic fundamentals he is wrong about

[@VGaleno]

@@patswayze7359 For the sake of precision I wouldn't say he is wrong-wrong. However, as a public speaker, he has at least one point which is clearly public driven, that is he's stance on freedom. I am absolutely sure terence was aware of that because even if we don't go into paradigmatic problems (e.g. the unknown source of imagination; the I ching determinism, etc ...) we can find how reluctantly he advocates freedom in some contexts where this type of problem becomes apparent as he speaks. Unfortunately I have lost track of direct references on this but it will come about...

Existence & Consciousness "In the beginning, all things in existence existed as one thing. The Source of all things is information. Underlying and permeating our entire physical material existence is a field/plane of Quantum Information. Even when 'nothing' existed, something still did- the 'information of nothingness'. Through itself, the field created itself, from nothing. The field itself is nothing, which is still something. Through this field is generated all other things, including our universe. All particles, all states, all molecules, all atoms, etc. all existed as One. This One manifested through itself the individualiztion of all other particles, planes, dimensions, and universes. Time itself exsist within the One. All laws and rules exist within the One. The One is the Law itself. Eventually via the Great Cycle, all individualized particles will contract back into One, each cycle bringing a higher advancement in consciousness than the previous cycle. Each individualized unit of creation, also being an individualized unit of consciousness, brings back to the Source its own information." -The Source.

[@maple50]

so in other words John 1:1 - IN THE BEGINNING EXISTED THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS IN THEOS (The Alpha & Omega), AND THE WORD WAS THEOS. 2 HE WAS IN THE BEGINNING IN THEOS. 3 ALL THINGS CAME INTO BEING THROUGH HIM, AND APART FROM HIM NOTHING CAME INTO BEING THAT HAS COME INTO BEING. 4 IN HIM WAS LIFE, AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MANKIND. 5 THE LIGHT SHINED IN THE DARKNESS, AND THE DARKNESS DID NOT COMPREHEND IT.

"Human beings are obsessively addicted to all kinds, not only of substances, but of situations...of each other, of localities, of ideologies. You can hardly name a category of experience that we do not form obsessive & addictive relationships to. I mean, a guy steps to his front door in the morning, and opens the door...if the daily newspaper isn't lying rolled up at his feet, he slams the door and walks back into his house, now a menace to wife and child. Quite simply because an addictive behavior has been interrupted by the unexpected withdrawal of the object of the addiction."

10:09 - Norwegian Carl Sofus Lumholtz (1851 - 1922), who was an evolutionary biologist, called "the single most dramatic expansion of an organ of a higher animal in the entire record of evolutionary existence" the doubling, nearly tripling in size, of the human brain in about a 2.5mln year period. [Across nearly seven million years, the human brain has tripled in size, with most of this growth occurring in the past two million years.]

People may think his ideas absurd, please keep in mind that most every innovation seems absurd at a glance. For example, pretty much all people used to be completely positive the earth was flat. That's just what it seems at a glance. Likewise in our day people think it absurd to imagine a spiritual dimension to reality. To imagine that there is not (especially given the datum offered to us by psychedelics) is actually the absurdity.

Psychedelic mushrooms are apart of human evolution.

[@ERSpro]

That actually makes logical sense. It's as if this current cycle of existence started, and this is just personal theory, by literally concentrating and spreading out all over the planet pieces of higher consciousness and realities manifested into physical matter, for us to gradually discover and ingest, starting another long process of evolution, which in the end elevates humanity to a higher state of being. I have a feeling that the current reality we are in now is so chaotic and mixed with good and evil and so much pain and suffering, is because The Source, All things sprang from is learning through trial and error, and experiencing the pain, sadness, evil, hatred, greed, and all other negative experience from mild to extreme, and is keeping a cosmic record of every detail no matter how minute or seemingly irrelevant, in order to prevent any possibility of unnecessary pain and suffering, and oppression manifesting as reality in our next cycle. Because they will be literally obsolete. No longer needing to be experienced, because the problem has been solved.
