You should look into the studies on profound sounding nonsense "Accepted science" is a homunculus of appeal to authority, and appeal to popularity Niether of which lend credibility to the merit of any given argument about any idea The idea that "time" moves differently is a patch in a sinking boat so to speak, that boat being the idea that time intrinsically exists, and isnt just an abstract idea humans came up with in order to organize effectively, the execution of labor

It's funny, it's like Terence died and was reborn on the internet. His ideas have now reached so many. He used to come into the cafe I worked at on the Big Island. I had no idea who he was until just before he died. I lived on his old property (in this video) 5 years ago. It was quite an experience!

[@Friscofilmaker]

@@grainofsand4176 I'm sorry to say we did not vibe at all, maybe even clashed. The last time he came in though I had just listened to Art Bell's show about him and learned he was dying and that he was incredibly brilliant! I left him alone on the lanai with his girlfriend and simply put Israel Kamakawiwo'ole on the stereo. When one of the waitresses found out who he was after he passed she said no wonder they had such interesting conversations! I had taken him as an egotistical professor type and I just wanted to be a groovy young hippie. Lookinh back, he seemed stiff, but his trippy tshirts gave him away. Too bad, but since he died I ended up living on his old property and I have really connected with him in some kind of way. I used to barely be able to watch his videos because of the tone of his voice. Now, really it's like music to my ears. I think you just get used to it and it's just part of his vibration. His brother Dennis is still at it and his voice is a bit easier on the ears. ☮

[@lui4789]

Definitely not a problem. Psychedelics give us the download, the unveiling of the information we need through an experience. What kind of magic would there be to this contrast and duality based reality if there was a quick magic pill for everything? Our job is to put that message of the psychedelic experience into practice. With motor practice, comes mastery. Integration brings long lasting results into our life, that no money can buy. The point of struggle is to understand true gratitude, a diamond is a piece of carbon that undertook pressure extremely well. The lotus was born in the mud. Every rose has its thorn. We do not understand hot, until we experience cold. Duality and contrast are the way this third dimension teaches us, by going through the experience. By mastering our desires and temptations. By taking ownership and responsibility for our lives and how we feel.

@Heloise O'Byrne That's all fine and dandy but let's face it none of us know sh!t and ultimately all end up in the same place - in the ground. Nice "thought" :)

[@judgeberry6071]

@Heloise O'Byrne I should learn more. That is true. I must read some Carl Jung. I don't read enough. Too much time engaging in shallow arguments on social media. I would ike to think there was something else for us, but I can't. I consider myself with a reasonably good level of intelligence. But nah I can't grasp the spiritual thing. About 4 years ago my sister got an ear infection. I kept shouting at my her for cleaning her ears out with cotton buds. It was a very bad infection. She was so stubborn and would not take my advice. I could not emphasise enough how dangerous it was and that she must get medical attention soon. Then a few nights later my sister went into some kind of seizure. We called the paramedics and they placed her into an induced coma until they could assess what was going on. Basically she was already dead by "brain-stem death" but we had no idea at that point. The doctor said it is very rare but my sister died of meningitis of the brain. My mother had the decision to turn off the life support. My sister died in strange circumstances. She was just 38. She was engaged to be married. And excited about becoming a grandmother. She was a ray of sunshine. The party girl. Full of life and energy. Loved by all she truly was. Sorry it's depressing but my point is where did she go? If it is all synchronised then what was my sister synced to? Because the only thing I can compare it to is a PC shutting down.

[@thomascranston205]

Our perception of time comes from our awareness of mortality. We discovered our time on earth not invent it. Biologically and cosmologically, time exists inherently at this level of being.

[@py_a_thon]

I am not so sure that is a great way of viewing the concept. Our minds could not even have an opinion without the ability to perceive time. And although we lack the ability to perceive consciousness outside of the realm of time...we can attempt to infer. What does consciousness look like without time as a factor? Would consciousness even have meaning at that point, or would it simply be an infinity of algo results? That comment took me maybe 3 minutes to type. Those 3 minutes are equal to N oscillations of some atomic structure that we use for synchonization of time perception.

I shave to totally agree with Terrence, saying reality is far more strange than anything we could imagine. The things I’ve heard and read in books like ‘Seth Speaks’ and in books about the indigo children alone, talk about reality in a way I couldn’t imagine in a million years. Before my NDE last year, I was bored with my life. I had been everywhere I wanted and done most of my dreams and didn’t care if I died, cause I believed I’d accomplished everything too soon. Now, I realize I could live a million lifetimes and not experience most of it. This realization has made my life much more interesting then I thought it would ever be again.

[@stu3232]

Terence really was one of the best thinkers that ever lived in my opinion. It's a real pity that we lost him as young as he was. Discovering him as a young 18 year old completely changed the way I viewed the world and the nature of society and culture. It took me a good couple of years to come back to earth after that. So happy you're doing these videos Russell and that more people will get the chance to discover him!

[@mistermistyc2219]

Time is relative, anyone who has taken psychedelics knows.. time seems to stop when tripping, or seems to not exist. But since reality is perception based, we all perceive it differently. Theres absolute truth and relative truths, example to us, the sun sets, thats relative truth, in absolute truth the sun never sets. So its all relative perspective.

[@py_a_thon]

Using psychedelics that hacks the perception of how you perceive time does not seem to effect the macro-aspects of time in any significant way. If you dream for 20 minutes and it feels like 10 hours...did 10 hours pass or did you perceive 20 minutes as what you believe to be about 10 hrs?

[@py_a_thon]

Addendum: that also excludes the aspects of: you only perceive that 20minute dream as 10 hours...AFTER you wake up. Your mind seeks to define a perception that was non-real and incomplete.

[@py_a_thon]

I had a few trips where when I "woke up" 10 hours had seemed like 10 minutes. And I have had atleast 1 or 2 trips where I maintained full sentience the entire time: and 10 minutes was equal to 10 minutes. Before, during and after.

Years later, I learned from my uncle that my father, deceased when I was 13 years old, also listened to Ram Dass in the 60s-70s before I was born. He recorded him talking on the radio and played it again and again to his brothers and friends, so they could better understand life and reality. It became a deep connection to the father I lost in my youth, before I could talk philosophy and spirituality with him. So hearing Ram Dass is like sharing a moment with my father.

The mind moves only because it is attached to something, So do away with what is dear to the mind. Withdraw from attachments and decide to return to Awareness-Being-Bliss by keeping Quiet.

“Time is believed to be composed of the past, present and future. Of these three, the past is past only in reference to the present and the present is present only in relation to the past, future is future only in reference to the present. So all three being interdependent, even for their very existence, it has to be admitted by sheer force of logic that none of them is real. Therefore, time is not. Experience is the only criterion by which the reality of anything can be decided. Of the three categories of time, past and future are not experienced by any, except when they appear in the present. Then it can be considered only as present. Even this present - when minutely examined - reduces itself into a moment which slips into the past before you begin to perceive it, just like a geometrical point. It is nobody’s experience. It is only a compromise between past and future as a meeting point. Thus present itself being only imaginary, past and future are equally so. Therefore, time is not.”

When your living in the moment and meditate. I find day to day I have more time. Yet on another level it is so quick on the overview

[@PhilsMind]

Hi Russell. I can only encourage you in having Dennis McKenna on your podcast. I met him in NYC several years ago and can attest to his good nature and profound wisdom extremely relevant to the predicaments of modern humanity. He’s not whistling Dixie here!

[@MIOLAZARUS]

I could talk with Terrence for hours. Maybe i'll meet him in hyperspace someday. Maybe I already have. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

[@amenra7613]

Also to Kates question, mushrooms told terence "what you call time we call man" if you do psychedelics you remove 'man' from the equation as you're a ball of energy and time no longer exists which is why it can feel like you've been gone for thousands of years but it's a matter of minutes which means the removal of 'man' to us is the removal of 'time' to them and what we perceive as the past or future are just events that's happened or will happen therefore we can visit these events, I don't like to call it time travel as time isn't relevant, I need to figure out a better way to describe this and a more accurate name for this.

Amen Ra, I think you described it perfectly. The universe doesn't measure in time, It measures in cycles.

Or the other way around (in a shamanic ritualistic setting), you can go a few days without eating and feels like like 15 minutes.

[@rightside]

Yes to the sublime poetry. Life these days is full of connected events that seemingly cannot be connected yet to the individual subjective experience, the connection is vivid. Try walking in the woods... stand, close your eyes, ground yourself, ask for something out of place for a woodland setting to appear on your path. Be specific, know it’s in your reality, and it will show itself... it will show itself with a sense of irony or humour. Focus on a wee cloud and tell the sky to be blue and clear... the cloud will dissipate.

Russell with respect I haven't swallowed a dictionary so in simple words I'd like to share 50 years of experience as a student of Meditation and eastern thought. This enjoyable video has prompted me to say that we all have the creator function going on within us and seems that the thinking mind is manifesting lots of stuff. This process contributes to the global experience. We all experience Enlightenment as well - When we are NOT thinking..........

[@susanstrother1181]

Yes I totally agree. The universe is like a giant brain so it makes sense that it is evolving and speeding up as it continues to develop.

Terence's mind and soul are/were beautiful... a millennia ahead of our times. Thank you Russell and I love the story of the woman picking up the Bee... I carry wth me at all times, a miniature jam jar for such occasions... it's easier to get them into without damaging them before placing them out of harms way 🐝. Much love and respect to you ♥️

He has potential to understand even more, I hope he tries psychedelics one day and explain his experiences. They are not addictive so he shouldn’t worry. (They aren’t actually drugs, but plant medicine)

J.B.S. Haldane: “I have no doubt that in reality the future will be vastly more surprising than anything I can imagine. Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.” From the book "Possible Worlds", I believe. So, no, Mckenna was not the first.

[@brushstroke3733]

Didn't someone say reality is stranger than fiction long ago? It's all universal, and that's all McKenna was ever saying anyway. He certainly didn't claim any ideas as his.

[@Tunnelmental]

The brilliance of Terence McKenna and Rupert Sheldrake have been a constant in my belief. Thank you for helping open hearts and minds Russell.

Love you Russell, and love what you're doing with your platforms now. Grateful that you have made this separate channel where you discuss these topics. It's what draws me towards you the most is how your mind works, and then getting to hear your point of view and opinion on fascinating topics. Cheers

Russell, I take my hat off, love the channel and the path you're on, keep on thinking bro :)

[@fionagarrett2730]

Your example of the car wash story. reinforces to me that all souls are like threads either warp or weft creating a tapestry that never is finished. So the universe is like a tapestry and we all have our own thread (like purpose) to add to this every increasing masterpiece. Of course, instead of a tapestry, it could be a colourful carpet, now in my mind, I see our creator riding a magic carpet through the universe haha, oh Russell you've sent my mind spinning haha!!

[@juneszeider5280]

Love your content. Feel like its gently nudging me to another way of life.... from the one that is slowly destroying me. So hard to give up whats harming you at 55 and begin again. Whilst I do not have any substance addictions , I am certainly addicted to the never ending circle of work, consume & work some more. The pandemic has financially hobbled me ,so it feels like rock bottom is approaching. Your podcasts keep me imagining that there must be a way out of the misery, a way that is not self destructive. And that of course is hope....thank you for spreading hope.

[@TheSOLARMUSIC]

I used to love Terence McKenna's lectures at Megatripolis. Fantastic human being who opened my mind to so much.

[@almaui]

Can't wait for more about McKenna and stuff like that! Thanks and congrats for the always excellent content!

[@kimpeccable]

Well, now my mind is blown. Again. Psychedelics started it decades ago, but it's always renewable.

[@jofhill1066]

“A subliminal poetry to reality” very eloquently put. As a young scientist I used to note incidences such as the car wash theme as coincidence. However, they continued to happen and often seemed to coincide with a life event. As a family we have often remarked upon them and found them amusing. in the works of Graham Hancock, John Anthony West, Terrence McKenna, David Icke, Dr Steven Greer & Cameron Grant I found one common theme; consciousness. It led to an epiphany which turned my previously held paradigm on its head and I now believe that: Consciousness is preeminent in The Universe and matter is created from that. We live in a conscious universe and we are part of that consciousness, woven into it as we are the fabric of the physical universe. We can manifest reality through focussed thought and attention. We have known this for thousands of years and it is why people of all denominations pray collectively in groups. (Incidentally, it took a Jack Grealish goal at Villa Park for the penny to drop with me 🤣) I now look for the subliminal poetry in reality and consider those “coincidences” to be “synchronicities”. It feels like The Universe is trying to get your attention. Gently slapping your face and saying “come on, wake up. Something important is about to happen”.

[@denisehill1705]

Beautifully put into words that resonate with me as my mind pulls in examples from various sources and I feel like I have seen a veil lifted that explains how it is all connected. Many years ago I had the thought that everything is connected. Namaste

[@sgarrett9446]

Just knowing that Russell Brand loves and appreciates Terence McKenna makes the world a happier place for me. Thx!
