Terence McKenna - What Are We, Where Did We Come From, And Where Are We Going

[@greendan_]

I’m 22 and have been listening to McKenna since I was 15. His words have shown me the significance of life and all that it has to offer. I greatly appreciate these uploads and can only hope you continue with the content.

[@behaviortech1080]

Same here. He is a trip.

[@arnyarny77]

Awesome in the early 90s I was reading Castaneda, crowely Stull like that and just happened to see terrence book archaic revival he is a gift

[@Z33799]

He weaves me into another state of mind altogether. Terrence McKenna is something of an almost religious force of nature.

[@andrewfetterolf7042]

Me too same ages for me!

[@Tyler-f7g]

I’m 37 I’ve been listening to McKenna since I was 18. He’s even more relevant now than ever before

[@vondbee7091]

This man, like Alan Watts, can bring me to happy tears 😊

[@scruffydelilah1186]

Listening to TM speak is like watching an artist paint

[@thelotuspad]

Bless You for running this rap ad-free 🙏

[@DanitFriedman]

Thank you for appreciating the concept @thelotuspad

[@YoutubeVideoViewerDEL]

I second the sentiment!

One of the best talks he gave us. Thank you for keeping him alive.

[@JohnMcintosh-dm1gn]

Five dried grams in a dark room meditating on the nature of reality United me with the universe. This changed my life forever, knowing Terrance did the same gives me strength knowing that I'm walking the same path. Tat tvam Asi.

[@country4lyfe365]

I feel , through our WHOOOOLE existence, it all boils down to Terence. Everything humanity has to offer ,is Terence. He was deff our ambassador for the planet. Great lecture. Thank you.

[@smokyalpha]

Thanks for your work at continuing McKenna’s legacy, it is appreciated. people please keep supporting this channel

[@marksweet6298]

As a comprehensive whole, this collection of talks may just be the most powerful summation ever presented.

[@rogermiller8708]

It is a gift to hear his voice in the moment. Thank you for your curation of these conversations with Terence. After seven decades of traveling through time, observing and experiencing this life I treasure the opportunity to revisit his lectures and the questions discussed afterward. “Nothing is understood until it is remembered.” TM

[@danielofinan5071]

I’m sitting here tonight at 32 years old on about 200 micrograms thinking of something right to say to the man who changed my life. Saved me. He’s become the “compass of my inspiration” to put it in his words. Thank you Terence. Just thank you 🙏 🥹🥹🥲🥲

[@Feral_Ape]

I feel that way about Jordan Peterson. He my internet dad.

[@ashwadhwani]

His healing energy is still alive :))

[@sherrym5556]

This is one of my favorite Terrence videos, thank you 🤩✌️💟

[@DanitFriedman]

Thank you @sherrym5556 ❤

[@yorkshirelad3133]

I have been listening to TM for over 20 years now, he never ceases to blow my mind with his perspectives and his undeniably astonishing ways of explaining things, one of the most beautiful minds nature has ever designed, i wish for your soul to drift among the stars until the end of time

[@aaronhaworth]

Oh my gosh another one that I have not yet heard!! This is so exciting, thank you Danit!!

[@KenHiroshi627]

Insanely insightful and spot on for what's been happening the past 20 years.. listen to the next 40 minutes starting at 2:30:00 & 2:32:40

[@johnathanwilson5023]

Based on the title, the question that must be asked is this: "Are we, as a collective, Cotton-eyed Joe?"

[@Renkoryj]

Terrence is one of my favs

[@backpackfrom610]

The world has always fascinated me…. It’s really gotten the best of me tho and I am trying to get back to that wonder and awe

[@YoutubeVideoViewerDEL]

I had the same feeling the other day. I walked out of the grocery store and looked at the sky and just for a moment I had a feeling like I used to have as a child. It was a feeling of wonder as well as a feeling of being connected.

Your recordings and background music is so comforting I listen often while I game, and my wife listens also when I’m not using headphones to really mellow out lol.

kinda sounds like the wii menu too

[@67oldcoach]

Thanks again for your channel!❤️

[@ScottMichaels-bw7tm]

Your Content is absolutely Beautiful! If it weren't inappropriate, I'd say I was in Love with you -- of course, I'd never say such a thing. DMT continues to shape this guy, & it's been two years since the last flash. Hope you are well. TY for your page.

[@peterstankiewicz2474]

I used to be strictly Alan Watts listener with a sprinkle of other voices but after listening to this particular audio I might look for other content about other subjects.

[@downeydarko]

“Impressionism is simply 20 minutes into lsd.”

[@Jack-r2v9b]

It's almost instant with dmt

[@peterstankiewicz2474]

Prayer helps me stay sober in AA they talk about higher power. When Terrance talks about the king God that we created I guess we created it for the purpose of relief from suffering those were crazy times when Jesus walked the earth ...

[@polsyg6581]

our planet was way more than ordinary it was full of life and seeking to save that from human destruction and selfishness is a very important thing for us to do.

[@Chanelson2010]

thank you for all these talks you are posting. Mesmerizing. I just wish there was no ambient sound in the background, Terrance's words need no special effects.

[@Starz777]

Does anybody know if there's a transcript of this?

[@Okijuben]

It sure would have been interesting to have Terence around today to discuss the recent burgeoning of AI and LLMs. Happy to settle for this, however. Thank you!

[@ramzikaram9589]

i wonder the same: do you suppose AGI could be the mythical philosopher's stone - i kind of do, ok so say it is say it could be commanded to give us whatever we could imagine, the ultimate tool and friend: what then, what should we do with such a tool, and what does it mean to our personal experience of consciousness and search for ultimate truth... its amazing how much time we spend thinking of the things that could be while we lay in a pool of ignorance of what is - i hope the psychedelic community can use these tools, ai, llm's, drawing engines to shape and inspire a more compassionate world through art and a reinvigorated creative process that excites the masses - i don't know how this discussion would go with TM, but i know if he was around he would be using and probing all these available and burgeoning systems to build up a personal viewpoint of what the future holds, and what can be done now - that's the way of the shaman try it yourself, be curious, and take your personal experience as most significant :-)

Were you personally at all these talks?

[@bignerd64a]

I'm wondering if anyone else has considered the idea that the 2012 tool/event/thing he speaks to turned out to be the Smartphone? By the end of 2012 over 50 percent of the US population owned one. Seems like that was the year Smartphones reached "critical mass" and there was no going back. 2012📱🤔

What is Squirliness? 09:09

[@zachbarber_]

I think he is meaning "strangeness" or inhuman traits ie: companies puting profits over the health and well-being of other humans, governments manipulating and killing innocent people.. just unthinkable things that are happening.

[@jonjenkins]

So much for the “end of history“ in 2012 - An extremely rare occasion where one of TM’s speculative ideas was way off the mark !

[@margaretsmith9637]

I don’t think he was off the mark. I think a big change happened in 2012. Something ended and something started. Mayan calendar agrees. It’s just that the metamorphosis started then with a big cosmic download of information. We’ll see.

Danit is sexy 🥰

[@chalkao5071]

Still no ground to dismiss all said alternate explanations in religion or culture where may be one of them could be right. In one's own sinister type, rebellious approach to our immediate known realities, one could go against all said conventional wisdoms and knowledges about the universe and the role of our existence in it, but still could be no less wrong than that which we repeal from in an attempt to seek our own alternate explanation that we hope it would satisfy our inept curiosity about the unknown. In any case, in any endeavor, the saddest closure is to die with fundamental questions about ourselves being unanswered! And again, who knows what is beyond the death. Perhaps, our conscious within our tiny brain, confined within boney skull, may be liberated and come part of infinite wisdom and vast knowledge of the universe where we do not need conventional schooling to learn, but immerse in it all. Still, who knows! Thank you for sharing!

Haha you must have it all figured out I'm sure. Lol

[@sharonmassey2923]

It's a shame you're so afraid of people with such superior intelligence, superior education and insight that you feel the need to crap all over them. Lots of people like you. To make such an "ignorant" comment, I assume you've listened to practically nothing of McKenna, assume that your reading material is pretty much limited to comic books, and further assume that whatever you have to offer is about on that intellectual level. Not at all surprising that it sounds like "word salad" to you.

[@cybercheese3]

Maybe you are just too dumb to understand. 😂😅
