Terence McKenna - The Cult of Permanence

[@goodsirknight]

Been listening to Terence for 17 years, never heard this talk before. The man is endlessly surprising and amazing. Thank you for sharing x

[@nightweilder6017]

love when that happens. Been listening and very intensely at that since 2020.

Hopefully it’s not AI. Some people are using AI to create speeches that he did not do.

He doesn't know or ever mention our Sun's binary solar system that keeps throwing humanity back to reset and start over..Unfortunately, that system has arrived again after 12,500 years...The same system that created the Great Deluge and the sinking of the Atlantean world..

In this present moment, humanity is on its way out. It's not hard to see it. The empire is in collapse.

One of THE BEST conversations of Terence McKenna out there. LOVE! 🌱

[@HermeticaScarabelot]

Hey, thanks for uploading those talks!

[@gypsylee73]

I haven't heard this one (and I've been listening to & reading McKenna for 25 years). I saw the title while I was scrolling a few weeks ago - didn't even click on it and save - and it nagged at me. So tonight I just searched "cult of permanence" and it's brilliant 😊 Is Terence McKenna just me in a parallel universe where I am smarter and less anxious or something? 😅 I love this guy!

[@mike569112]

I freaking love Terrence’s passion. I feel inspired.

[@jer1992]

I wanna try psilocybin again sometime. My first time I was not mentally prepared and I went into an anxiety attack. However I still believe that something positive came from that experience in that I decided to seek therapy after facing the demons in my head, so I don't regret it in the slightest.

[@SuspiciousGanymede]

Terence had a process, maybe you can find the talk online about the use of mushrooms. He says 5 grams but 3.5 was enough for me. Fun, clean ambiance to start the trip like good music. Silent darkness when things get heavy. Ask the mushroom what is the plan, and what's its name. Ask the questions you want and see the truth. Make sure you have plenty of "bombers" rolled and ready to go! (Bombers being slang for joints)

[@cr-nd8qh]

Yeah I did an eighth last night and thought I was going to die. It definitely causes anxiety me

[@Jason.L.M.]

You are one a kind Terrance! I wish i had a chance to meet you brother ❤

[@victorvispetto2367]

Some things have changed since he spoke these words.... I wonder what his updates would be today...

[@stug8381]

One of my fav McKenna talks and subjecta!

[@cr-nd8qh]

Dont take mushrooms then go outside in public by yourself. I'm lucky I'm not in jail

[@jennifs6868]

I’m definitely lucky i’m not dead at the bottom of the lake. Take this stuff with an experienced friend if you want to try it.

[@WILLed_into_Existence]

Lol this is a great way to take mushrooms if you can cultivate the right mindset. Just get a dark pair of glasses and enjoy the exploration. It makes everything in the world 100x more interesting

[@zachvanslyke4341]

Thank you

[@bryanmilne]

Seems like the word from the "other side" is that humanity can and are being invited to evolve our abilities and mastery with telepathic communication, with art, with sharing emotion, with sharing energetic communicative exchange... With embracing our ability to evolve. Rather than wage war and confrontational defensive tactics with all that is alien or invokes our own xenophobia, but to instead we are being invited and asked to aspire and make efforts toward learning/playing/practicing how to communicate with all the ways and beings that the "other" manifests itself in our experiences.

[@lunkerjunkie]

"menopausal theosophists" Try using that in a sentence

[@anthonyg7181]

Where are the Terrence McKenna's and Alan Watt's of our time

[@gratefulkm]

They were always pointing east, in a time when it was hard to hear the east, With the internet, you just type in east and there millions of traditional cultural eastern people talking about their history and culture

[@anthonyg7181]

@@gratefulkm true good emphasis👍 I meant in regards to the western mainstream. They had a such a divine mastery of word and communication it's almost hard to imagine. Our contemporary times need there teachings and spirit more than ever

[@gratefulkm]

@@anthonyg7181 The trouble is , in Psychedelics , the biggest factor that is never ever mentioned is mirroring, Your brain copies other peoples brain states, In the 60's there were so many LSD switched Amygdala dominant people, that they created more Amygdala dominant people, like Alan and Terrance "They tuned each other on" "spun them out" "Reborn" "tripped out" finding people like that today is hard Pretty much a miracle

[@anthonyg7181]

@@gratefulkm that's deep man. Wonder where the story is heading now for humanity. These type of lectures have become a massive haven of reassurance of the divine oneness, peace and reminder of the utter emptiness of all material pursuits of the collective societal monkey brain. Feel it's almost equivalent to having my heart and mind washed by the machine elves without taking the physical trip. Alan Watts lectures by far my favorite for the way he so brilliantly bridged the gap to the eastern wisdom. Awakened to the reality of existence and death of ego. It's an endless playlist haha

[@gratefulkm]

@@anthonyg7181 I very much enjoy them both, But they both seem to not have picked up on the relationship of brain anatomy, But to give credit where credit is due, that was the intention of the slavers in the first instance, in creating the accountable "I" in our minds and a society that believes that the mind only works one way, The mind worships only one god And that god was the PFC

1:05:08 thats how i sing for about 80 songs . 95% of my lyrics dont have human words. almost my vocals and lyrics are like this. i have no idea what im singing. but it come out. i also have no idea why i sing like this. my music on my chanel i sell nothing (skip foward to find vocals it has alot of instrumental too, try capture some vocals) i call it "tongue" tho but i think its similar. its intention more than definition

[@jennifs6868]

What he is describing are the elemental beings, which, if terrence had been introduced to the work of rudolf steiner, would have helped him to more easily bridge the gap between science and spirit!

[@davidr2421]

"evanesce"

[@idolcruisefix71]

evanesce: pass out of sight, memory, or existence

[@bryanmilne]

"it's like breakdancing" !!! Yes!! YES!! Yes!! So right on the money....👍👍

[@rodrigocruz5768]

Did anybody also get the sense that besides his work on psychedelics and consciousness ...he had a deep, un-manifested desire to 'bust a move'??

[@kaylesharp7914]

I know it's dumb, but I'll never be done with the psychedelics aspect of any drug. I took benadryl and had a long day and a half trip and yesterday I come from around the corner from my bathroom mirror and me and my other self. Not my reflection, both was like yes! We did it! Almost felt involuntary, like actually seeing and recognizing the portal to a parallel dimension. Today I am experiencing the other side of the mirror after finally falling alseep, listened to terence and alan watts on this trip btw

[@michaelcoleman9044]

Listen to Terrance talk about this topic, then try and think back to the moment you first assigned meaning to language. It's nearly impossible to pinpoint a single moment.

[@danalexander186]

I live in this realm in sober reality without needing any stimulus. I do have the correct answers but no one seems ready to handle them. All I ask is to speak in person, on the phone or in real time. And yet, no one has. I want nothing of it. The Universal Mind speaks completely through me and I owe my message to all who care about the planetary condition. Just reach out. All questions answered.

I'm here but have a problem getting more DMT lsd or psylociben

[@radioactivetrees9626]

It can be very easy. Most states allow spores to be sold and bought. Check your laws and order some.

[@elizabethhurray2784]

It took me soooooo many OxyContins to get off my DMT habit. Grass ain't greener on the other side cuz

[@huskybloodlust]

😂

[@BFrazier411]

I noticed you used the word habit over addiction. I'm a recovering heroin addict and recently started using DMT, so no judgement from me. I'm curious if you would describe your DMT habit as an addiction. That is, did you experience many negative consequences as a result of your DMT habit?

[@AtmanBrahMan-888]

Damn you’re kinda cool for that in my book

[@bryanmilne]

Though one of my most favorite philosophers and humans I admire beyond others, I think I must partially disagree with Terence's philosophy of a need for "dematerializing" humanity's ecological role/behaviors and instead I think we should seek to re-establish the Sacredness of the material world and as I would assume his philosophy of and call for an "Archaic Revival", was an intention to embrace our primal earthly nature and honor our sacred relationship with both our spiritual consciousness, our creativity and our material bodies, existence and legacy. I think if Terence were still alive today he would be appalled at the nightmarish future trajectory technology and transhumanism is taking humanity. When I had the chance in the late nineties to ask Terence about his impression and ideas of permaculture I'm afraid I received a somewhat vague and disinterested response. I wish I could have explored this further with him and understood his position with greater clarity. I can't help but wonder if in the creation of the ideas of this talk he was aware of or had considered the relationship of the permaculture movement to this theme of western civilization and possibly all of humanity seeking "permeance".

[@bryanmilne]

@matthew mattes You, you Matthew Mattes, are literally the Earth. You, nor I, nor anyone can separate ourselves from that which we are and always forevermore will be. If one could separate (hypothetically) then they would no longer be human. For me my definition of human includes our entire evolution as Earthlings.

[@kaylesharp7914]

Bruh but this is the transcendental aspect of it. How well can you hold your reality together while being de materialized, in other words can you exist in a plane of matter equal to no matter at all, how will you deal then seems like the forward escape to me

[@kaylesharp7914]

@matthew mattes there you go, that first part hit home. We're more than humans bro read my last one

[@bryanmilne]

@matthew mattes I think we are sort of talking about different things. I understand the idea of our consciousness transcending the "earthly" and at the same time I think such a thing is beyond our capability to even imagine (as Terence has said with much repetition). As far as permeance of the Earth it seems that it goes without saying that such is an impossibility, as is the permeance of anything on the material world. What seems more important for our immediate crisis as a species is to determine how to establish any type of resilient stability which lends itself to "permeance" for humanity specifically. For me that means establishing Earth regenerative/deep ecology cultural practice that is both dynamic and creates a state of equilibrium for human habitation on planet Earth (material world and spiritual/astral, etc...). I feel that the transhumanist fantasies to create immortality through reducing ourselves to just code in a machine is really the wrong direction from my perspective for the type of "permeance" I wish for myself, my family, my loved ones and my species. The problem with the transhumanist fantasy is it is a distraction from saving ourselves and challenging the demonic psychopaths and sorcery at play in our world currently seeking quite literally and all too happily to "dematerialize" all of us with a "Great Reset" and stripping away our connection to the sacred. I view the Earth and the material as entirely and wholeheartedly Sacred. I think it is a grave mistake to equate a polarized dualist worldview which splits spiritual and material into two different categories with any kind of illusion that they are separate.

[@bryanmilne]

Curious to know where this talk occurred and on what date...

[@danalexander186]

If someone were to have answers for all these questions, would anyone want to know them. All it would take is a phone call.

He should have tripped out to the rocks more, it sounds like. As far as our small ancestors are concerned..thats been my best understanding after staring at 1000s of these things with no reasonable denial of order in their formation. Life shapes are clearly prevalent. Hopefully Ill get more answers on this after more personal research

[@ganeshkrsna13]

he makes that comment about enlightenment and not being able to achieve it if your mother is still alive ...he tries to make it mystical its not .....one of our strongest attachments is to our mother ....you cant reach enlightenment if you still have attachments. 😢

[@Paracelsedor]

I would thinks its not true. True enlightment is reaching out all the information contained in Ur own dna. Without comprehensive meaning, it reach the ego to the point that meaning is a non-sense to the human being right there. I mean it is outstanding breaking all signification.. this is what it is for sure

[@shamanic_nostalgia]

Some of the best 'psychedelic' art I've seen this year is Exotic Contents and also Everything, both by Max Cooper. Would love to hear recommendations from others who pay attention to this kind of thing. I think psychedelic sound healing is the next wave. Next time you take psilocybin, I highly recommend listening to The EGREGORE by LIGHTCODE. P.s. Dennis did a new interview with Tim Ferris

Anyone listen to Alexandre Tannous talk at ESPD55?
