Terence McKenna Was a Futuristic Genius

[@ProjectUnity]

Terence McKenna (1946-2000) was an American ethnobotanist, mystic, psychonaut, author, and advocate for the responsible use of naturally occurring psychedelic plants. He is known for his studies and experiences with psychoactive substances, particularly psilocybin mushrooms, DMT, and ayahuasca. McKenna's work often explored the nature of consciousness, the potential of psychedelics for personal and societal transformation, and the intersection of science and mysticism. He authored several influential books, including "Food of the Gods" and "The Archaic Revival," and was known for his engaging lectures and thought-provoking ideas on human evolution, shamanism, and the future of human society.

A lot of Terence's talks exist as podcast episodes of Psychedelic Salon. Some of the more recent ones have been good listens. It's hard to wade through all of the best podcasts so I won't even try to come up with a list. I got addicted to listening to him a couple years ago and haven't really stopped. His ability to explain things succinctly and intellegently is like none other and his voice actually calms me down when I toss on the noise canceling headphones after a long day at work sometimes. I don't follow his timewave zero theories but I can get behind his dominator vs partnership theories of when we flipped over to patriarchal order. It all falls in with his 'stoned ape' theory talked about in his book Food of the Gods. Everything he says about sugar and alcohol and the patriarchal world makes sense to explain why everything is on an accelerating death spiral. Listening to his content from 1992 sounds relevant in 2024 in a lot of cases.

I think the perception of time is based on novelty. If we are at a repetitive job, time moves fast, and days and months can disappear without much memory of what happened. Conversely, extremely novel experiences slow down time, because the number of things we’ve had to actively process is greater. Time “slows down” when you have to actively process something in front of you, and “speeds up” when you’re on auto-pilot.

[@notsure1135]

If the latter scenario becomes routine, as extravagant as that life sounds, then time will disappear. Dunbar’s number means you can only remember so many interesting people…

The mathematical cotangent superposition of infinite potential existing simultaneously all together is defined by the singularity, which is understood through the philosophical concept of Monism. He didn't invent anything new, but he did fail to recognize that monism reasonably concludes that time is inconsequential. He placed emphasis on the Omega point, but religious philosophy already directed us to the truth of this great question: the beginning and the end are the same in one. That's the definition of timelessness; the alpha and the omega. As such, we aren't being pressured onward, but neither are we being pulled forward. For self-emergence requires both simultaneously, happening with all of the infinite possibilities in parallel all together.

We cannot assume that what we see is all there is, for the observable universe had to come from a far older prior something (rather than nothing, which is a self-negating concept). The real question is whether that something is eternal, which has some serious implications for the veracity of the concept of time. Unfortunately, it's a question we cannot answer!

Moulton Howe is unfortunately of questionable trustworthiness, which makes me question anything she endorses or is involved with. She's been caught out passing off and selling stills from games as supposed real photos of alien beings. When confronted with proof of that she just refuses to engage.

This is also because the entities are being layered by time thus wrapped in the folds of increasingly more complex strata. Simplified the ingredients in the souls soil is consistently changing thus what it grows into bares that mimicry.

I tried to tell everyone what was about to happen on everything back in the 2000s and no one listened to me. So here we are in this mess. Thanks for the video.

[@catoftruth1044]

is he talking about mainstream adaptation of internet and smartphones? it makes the perception of time different and 2012 was almost the start of the smartphone boom. its speeding up because when you get addicted with your gadget, you ask yourself, where did all the time go?

[@Z0mb13ta11ahase]

Along with that came algorithms, which connect all the information they have on you to target specific things to you. I feel anyone born after that point, their mind is more formed by algorithms than anything else. (In first world countries)

[@sarah.emmanuelle]

It is often the people in the comments section on the internet on these kind of videos that make me feel like part of a collective consciousness. And makes me feel better about being a human, in time space right now. Hello there, people! We're all in this weird shit together :D

[@maciekploch1945]

One of a kind visionary . Absolutely brilliant

[@ghahandi]

The term “escaton” typically appears in eschatology, which is the study of the end times or the end of the world. It refers to the final catastrophe or the ultimate event that marks the culmination of the universe or human history. In Christian perspectives, the eschaton represents the ultimate state of perfection, where the world doesn’t end but rather undergoes a transformative journey

[@sinoviistine-sonsofthetruth]

In ortodox Christianity we don't use the term Apocalypse or Armageddon but instead 'Otkrovenje" (Serbian word) the closest I can translate it into English is the Uncovering or the Great Reveal. So ti isn't something that is implicently bad, on the contrary the Truth will be revieled, the Truth Of Truths that is...

Speed of time, he means the rate of connectedness between conscious beings interacting, the growth rate of communication. This indeed speeds up exponentially.

[@deborahflello2316]

Good grief, amazing! He was so accurate! How could he have got there (or here) so early? Did he get the "download" that we are informed that so many original thinkers received?

[@ron1836]

Right person, right time, right place, right life's path.... People of any greatness, as well people with none much to notice, we born to be who they are. We are all who we are supposed to be. Doing what we were created to do. Atleast that was me over all feeling of truth after listening to the first half of this talk. I often wonder if any of us is capable of making decisions or if by one event leading to the next since the beginning, we and our lives and experience form some stage of the combustion process of a massive and intricate engine. Every thought every action every movement every sensation every dream... Being a domino effect to the next event..?? I could see this being true. And even recognizing and questioning that fact could never change it if it was, because even that. Even this comment I'm typing, would still just be part of the operation. It's a terrifying thought. But also sorta peaceful at the same time... And those feelings are also part of it.. so is this... And this... And you... Hahaha

[@NealVisher]

I suggest you read his book True Hallucinations if you haven't already... wow, I've read it about 3 or 4 times and just love the sh!t out of it... adventurous, funny, astounding, revealing, and so on... enjoy

[@FrancesHart99]

If this sound crazy to you, explore meditation and your own consciousness. You don’t have to do psychedelics, you can listen to other’s experiences and see the congruence with your own experiences of consciousness; meditation,OBEs, RV, hypnotic trance etc. If all you experience is conscious materialism, you will miss it.

The universal laws are the same now as from the beginning , human progress has been very slow because of our own shortcomings, now we have the illusion that we are so close yet greed, hatred ,selfishness , ignoring the truth of Love and many opportunities of becoming good stewards lifting one another up and embracing this gift we are so blessed to have on this journey through space and time with our brothers and sisters 😊

Terrace McKenna was an intellectual and master orator with a clear understanding of science and spirituality. Even more importantly of human nature and modern society.

[@srdjanmarkovic4934]

Now it makes me suspicious when you say -master orator- Due promoting WEF ideas..

I could listen to Mr. Mckenna for days. Thank you!

[@salmanuel4053]

I bought a copy of his TimeWave Zero software and tested it for correlations with paranormal history and UFO sightings. This was back in the '90s. Its formal parallels are with the Chinese I-Ching system of fortune casting. As for world history, I found that it predicted a major event at a time that brought the death of Israeli leader Yitzhak Rabin, a peacemaker who was gunned down on November 4, 1995. Perhaps seers ranging from the ancient Chinese to McKenna could make out the ebb and flow of novelty through our spacetime dimension.

[@janiebratt8826]

Terence was years ahead of the curve with knowledge and understanding of mankind and the universe.
