The Role of the Artist in Human Evolution - Terence McKenna

[@TheTrueNarthumpulous]

As a self taught artist, this particular lecture really speaks to me and gives a brilliant level of articulation to internal intuitive processes that I have always sensed exist within me, but that I've never been able to give name to.

[@MasterBrujo]

So much wisdom in each one of his talks. Thank you to all who have taken the time to upload all these amazing messages.

[@dimetryp369]

I always sub immediately to whoever I find posting his legend. Much love and respect to these heroes for sure.

Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me

“…magic and art are the special province of something else. I could name it, but I won't. It prefers to be unnamed, I think.” 24:10

[@freya5902]

It is true that it prefers to be unnamed.

A visionary for sure. Love this talk! 💗🙏

[@andreasbodemer686]

I love and loathe this man and his mercurial way of weaving words

[@angelosinski]

Perfect

[@livingdeadgirl8074]

Dissolve the conceptual boundary of ordinary expression.

Peace out.

[@markadams2667]

BEAUTIFUL

[@bendee2138]

Terence is amazing

[@MRHERGET]

As good as it gets.

[@thomaspenny8360]

I listened to this twice today...haha. I love that picture of Terence hitting the jay, but he still looks a little awkward and nerdy tho!!! I still love him!

[@milderrodriguez2373]

Holy shit! This man is really thinker.

[@claytondemge2630]

Watch a Mandelbrot zoom while tripping, you’ll see lots of art like things

[@Chicken_Little_Syndrome]

Take a hit of DMT (or a toke of a pre-rolled bomber) every time Terence says the word nature.

[@foreveryactionthereisacons1683]

I love it when he says nature ☺️

Who's Chari? the artist Terence talked about around 7:53

[@Drudwinder]

Alfred Jarry - a French symbolist writer; the other writer he mentions right after is Comte de Lautreamont

[@OsofoGriot]

crazy to think that Terence McKenna defined memes back in 1990

[@Kirkleberry]

Ought we get the ball rolling, then, in his honor..? Who here thinks that they can understand the mind? . i ask of anyone reading this who gives a care for a bit of thought-play, as i've recently contemplated myself & tried to express to other intellectuals; In the context of interpersonal verbal communication, and psychic resonance ~ Does effective reverberation imply perturbation ? - hi guys & gals

[@goodsirknight]

an intersting question, but what does it mean?

[@keycuz]

No.

[@jcezary]

Of course it is carried back into the collectivity, every moment of every experience is imprinted on the collective mind, is it not? is the idea of infinity just an idea? ''We'' are nothing, dust in an incarnation, but everything out of it.

[@efleishermedia]

It's kind of funny how McKenna has more in common today with new conservative thought and figures than most ideologically obsessed artists. People very familiar with Jordan Peterson's ideas regarding culture and the logos will see the overlap. Makes a lot sense I guess, they're both highly interested in gnostic and Jungian frameworks

[@TheComputermonster12]

McKenna would've scoffed at new conservative thought that seeks to control

[@efleishermedia]

@@TheComputermonster12 I think McKenna would have scoffed at such a cliche and meaningless comment

[@efleishermedia]

He would have fit right in with the IDW types.

[@BebeSoule]

I am an habitual listener of Jordan Peterson, and I don't see the similarities. I specifically remember watching Jordan Perterson's lecture about artists. Yes, there are some similarities in their reasoning about the role of artists in society, but their thought process and end goals are completely different.

[@efleishermedia]

@@BebeSoule oh for sure, I agree. Although I think its their endgame that I find so similar. They often reference the same people like Jung and Eliade, believe in a revival of the Logos. But perhaps I'm reaching

[@zachulayev7490]

Did Ben Franklin and Alexander Hamilton take a heroic dose of shrooms?

[@ajafta7674]

in the words of Agur, (Proverbs 30...) surely, im ONLY a brute, not a man. I do not have Human understanding. i have not learned wisdom. NOR HAVE I ATTAINED TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE.
