Thanks for your Kindness with Love from Ananda Das
So, back in the 90s we brought together for an exciting weekend workshop on Maui, Hawaii Terence McKenna . Participants came from around the world for this one time mind boggling event, here is some of what Tom Robbins wrote about McKenna in the forward to McKenna’s book The Archaic Revival which is reminiscent of the Maui gathering.
One of the principle philosophical underpinnings for our assumption of 2012 being a planetary tipping point comes from our years of working with the late Terence McKenna. In 1996 we presented the Terence McKenna Prophets Conference Timewave Zero tour of America beginning at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York then moving across the country, ending at UCLA in Los Angeles . Combine fractal mathematics with the I-Ching into a computer program created with a giant punch card computer at Berkeley in the 1960s, and you come up with a graph of history measuring novelty (new things and events) vs. habit (nothing new). From this you come to a Zero Point on December 21, 2012, which as we know happens to also be the end of the Mayan long-count. Interesting....
Quotes by: Terence McKenna
"Speaking about the unspeakable means stretching the envelop of what can be said. When new things can be said new plans can be laid, new directions can be found out of a crisis."
"Psychedelics are catalysts for the human imagination. That very simply is what they are."
"We seem to be the creature that can download the ideas, the Platonic perfect forms of a higher dimension, into the world of matter. And so where we are there is an interfacing between the world of ordinary nature and some kind of transcendent force."
"Science has steered us deeply into the notion that nature is soulless and spiritless. And the practice of this idea has led us to the brink of catastrophe, global and species and ecological catastrophe."
"Anyone who loves adventure, and who loves life, and who loves the experience of being, has an obligation, I think, to explore this [the psychedelic realm]. It's as much a part of your identity as your sexuality, your ancestral history, or your hopes and fears. And to ignore it is to choose to play with less than a full deck. Don't do that. Play with a full deck!"
"Millions of people right now are being warehoused by television. Television is the heroin of the electrified middle class."
"It's ridiculous to criticize a drug you haven't taken. It's sheer, boneheaded, know-nothingism."
Believe it or not, but Terence hasn't gone anywhere and is leading the currently ongoing psychedelic renaissance from the non-physical.

ive been thinking the same thing. notice how the most influential peoples purpose always gets fulfilled after their death.
he is!
Yes, I was contacted directly a few days ago.
Well yes, in video and audio form mostly but very much also in the aether
I wish everyone spoke proper english like McKenna, every time i listen to him, i learn new words
It starts with you
detritus
I feel you so much, it is delightful

I was initially put off by the sound of his voice but got over it by the substance of his talks. He does indeed have a magnificent vocabulary and a great way with words, as well as intelligence.
Love reading all the comments. Smiling at a couple of reactions to his voice. I accidentally hit on one of his talks and wondered who the heck this annoying “character” was. Well eight months later I can’t get enough of this genius of a ‘character’! What a wise gem we have in Terence. Thank you for this and I’m so grateful for all of his fans and followers.
Incredibly before his time - his insights of the future are astonishingly accurate one of the most brilliant and unknown geniuses to have ever lived on this planet. Thanks for uploading
Absolutely agree. We live in a marvelous age. He's gone, but is here! amazing.
But didn’t he think the world would end in 2012? o.O
Time is a delusion, Terence was the traveler
@@tpstrat14 No! There would be big change is what he meant.
@@j92so Right On!" 👍☯️⚡🕉🍄☮
The recovery of this is amazing, scary that it was almost lost to the sands of time. there's not many videos of these workshops, at least not available to the public. Thank you for taking the time to restore this. It truly is a gem and a gift to the 🌎
The awakening journey channel. Countless hours of T! Enjoy
There’s no one I miss as much as Terrence. It’s so fortunate that he was here. Thank you for posting.
is there anything better than getting off of a long day at work and smoking a joint and listening to terence?
Only two things come to my mind.... Time alone with my wife or time together with our children....other than that, he's definitely intriguing and fun to listen to.
I don't need the joint .... just raw reality....no fug ....
it is such a pleasure to encounter a new McKenna video when you think you've seen them all. A deep thank you.
I'll go out and say this....
It's not necessarily the content of what McKenna says that resonates with me, it's how he tells the story!
I've never listened to anyone else who can weave a story and make it sound beautiful, exciting and intelligent unlike Mckenna. His clever use of words and peotic drifting through subjects and fields just leaves you wanting to listen to more!
There should be more people like Mckenna around today. Terence's unparalleled knowledge of self and the world leaves no bounds of unlimited potential for awe and possibility. His clear understanding of self and ego also is broadcast very clear. I've never watched nor listen to the guy and he divulge in egotism or ritualistic self entitlement. You feel a sense of calm with this man, like he always knows a way out. Like everything that is possible, can be dissected, discussed and agreed upon in a calm collected and intellectual manner but he does it without making his intelligence seem like it's offensive or inappropriate.
A very clever man, to say the least about Terence. Good upload. Thank you very much uploader! :)
U toook the words from my mouth, very well said. I've been listening to 💯 Terrence for 15years,and Im still learning. But he had it together, we need New nowaday 'city' shamans In this fucked up society. Im gonna try. 💚 💯
That'll be his 'Irishness'.
@@abidabi4363 or the fact that he says he’s a double Scorpio😂
I’d listen to him read the dictionary.
His sense of humor and absolute connectedness were the best. I'm still convinced he will be seen as the Mind that he was.
I just love how this man talks.
Same here! Been listening for years. His vocabulary, metaphors, and cadence are wonderful.
Go to college
This video is a gem.
His intellectual prowess and ability to actually explain so much, along with his sense of humor, are priceless and timeless...An authentic Gaelic bard...We will never see his like again...He should have played the harp...
Terrence McKenna, AKA The Psychedelic Messiah. 👍☯️⚡🕉🍄☮
Here in 2020 and it's still fantastic. The Bard is forever
I love the vibe of this talk, it's one of those talk that worth being chunked into quotes.
Around 1:12:00 or so...a woman says the following...and it really touched me. She said this 22 years ago....and couldn't possibly have imagined that she'd ever be quoted on "the net" over two decades later. Anyway...what she said is quite poignant all these years later.... *_"My feeling on the net(the internet) is that...it's really our first opportunity to bypass political structure and media and connect human to human. And I think we're going to enter a super-democracy and actually a time where humans are connecting with each other more than ever."_* As McKenna said to that...I absolutely agree. And I'd love to meet this woman now and just talk...aka "meet the others." :)
+avedic damn that blew my mind!
"Find the others" ;-)
Well, he couldn't be right about everything. (Half joking) It seems to be isolating people and groups from others who are different and have opposing ideas.... But it has brought us McKenna lovers together.
Meet(ing) the others is A really important thing nowadays, especially Hum, forgot, but Im pretty fuckin' sure Terrence would agree wit' me on this.
@@noahway13 Thing is, he says that too, both competing alternatives are mentioned and both have come true in a way, because reality is stranger than we CAN suppose lol
genius, perfect for that 2am feeling
so true
Here I am at 212 lol

All I do is watch Terence McKenna videos.
Ive done it for 15years n' 🔥 💯 Im still learning (something).
Me too. Mostly. Terence is the most intelligent human I have ever heard speak.
Life well spent 👍🏼
Me too!" ☯️⚡🕉🍄☮
I love the part where we all get a bit triggered by all the people laughing with him or at him.. You can literally tell that they are mind boggled by his presence and everything said to the point where they can't control their own impulses and show that the things he speaks of literally drive us all a bit mad! I'd like to believe that this is why we always crave more Terence mckenna. We love you Terence you are very deeply missed.
Why would you think anybody in this video is laughing at him? Unless I missed something but I'm an hour and 20 minutes in and so far as I can tell they all love him. Just seems like an odd comment.
@@user-fg3fv9hl3b
Not really odd perse but at moments there is the awkward laughing at things not intended to illicit such a reaction but of the egos of people who feel uncomfortable or called out by certain statements.
There was many who followed Terrance but there is an underlying nuance that missed the perceptual capacity of most . Either you got it or you didn’t.
They are not laughing at him , they are laughing at how it effected them.
We are all mirrors to each other who reflect our own ego back to us .
Thanks for sharing Ananda Das :) Never seen this one before.
+MckennaCountrCulture me either. put a smile on my face :)
+MckennaCountrCulture march 2016 and a new terence mckenna lecture appears on the web ... i wonder how many unseen ones are still buried :O
+Eryan724 I know ... it's crazy. Like a never ending rabbit hole :D
MckennaCountrCulture
imagine terence uploading talks into hyperspace from the afterlife haha, maybe the two are connected after all. who knows? maybe the spirit of terence mckenna is coaxing new and new lectures into existence, disguising them as old tapes hahaha
Lyesergic Brainwave
he probably meant he never saw it in his years of terence mckenna following before just recently finding it. i assume
Seriously astonishing how accurate his insight into the future of the internet was.
Is it really? This the mid 90s, not the 60s.
I STILL haven’t gotten over the loss of genius wordsmiths Terence McKenna & Christopher Hitchens. Both died WAY too soon. 😢😢😢
To all those who feel they must bash the Speaker because they don't agree with his words, please remember that he never once stated that his opinions on certain subjects should be taken as actual fact. They are just his takes on life based on his OWN EXPERIENCES. Anyone who has listened to even a few of his talks would know this.
Very exellent point, indeed. 🔝 💯
First I hated the way he spoke English, then I started understanding his ideas,and then I started loving his ideas and his humor, having watched all of his lectures/interviews/talks I started imitating him when I spoke English, then my English native speaker friends started having difficulty understanding my English because I was using lots of Terence McKenna level vocabulary, then I introduced him to my native speaker friends. Now we all love him.
I love you Terence!
I really like the way he talks. There is no one like him in the modern world. Not even close.
my favorite man!!! saves my soul.
He saved me also! 👍☯️⚡🕉🍄☮
Me too:)
TM talks making my dinner time less lonely, every day... i m adictted to it..TM forever💚
One of his funniest and most creative talks 😊 Thanks for uploading 🍄🍄🍄
oh my god! this may be his best lecture!
i thought his early 90s stuff wouldnt be so good because of his crisis, but oh my gawd this is GOOD !!
His crisis? Not sure what you mean...?
I love when i find a new video talk!!!! :D
i find myself in the middle 2020 and his words have never felt more true and beautiful
Thank you for working to restore this gem. I'm very appreciative of you sharing this
1:08:31 Terence McKenna basically foresaw Facebook, RUclips, Google, Netflix, all forms of social media, etc.
he even mentioned porn after that
He saw further than that even.. Just wait and see
Tripping does make you very horny! Just dont look down at it. It will freaking blow your mind man! Lmao!
He was just incredibly intelligent.
In awe
so very very good. So funny. Thank you Terence.
He was so hilarious and so easy with humour. Gosh, I love him.
I could listen to something mindless and entertaining to wind down at night, or I could listen to this.
I reckon like this is the healthier choice.
Shit....seriously? A _brand new_ Terence lecture video? I'm so very happy right now...giddy even. I've seen every one of his lecture videos...each probably 10 times on average. And I've listened to _many_ audio files. But...I love seeing his face. He's so interesting to look at...to watch as he communicates. He's got the 'gift of gab' for certain, in the best possible sense. McKenna is one of a small handful of people where I'm legitimately overjoyed they existed on this planet. Bjork is another one...as is Alan Watts, and Carl Sagan, and...well, there's probably 30 more I could list. But McKenna is at least in the top 3 of that list. He's just special...and it's so fucking sad that he died without getting to witness everything that's occurred over the past 15 years. He would have loved it...
Just curious, when you say "everything that's occurred over the past 15 years". What exactly do you mean?
Watch _every-single_ TED Talk over the past 15 years...all several tens of thousand of hours of it. Then realize that NONE of that knowledge and human achievement and progress existed a mere 15 years ago. As Terence once rightly said *_an inability to notice radical change...seems to be a precondition of living among radical change._*
can you list them ? top 10 please.
avedic you need to get over yourself ? How old is your generation .The generation of your the only ones who ever had a profound thought .
avedic where do you think he came from ,cave man days .
Interesting how his words become increasingly relevant.
Thank you so much for your efforts behind making this available to us all
Besides the content of his beloved speech , that voice is so magic
Terence is in the next dimension just watching
I hear him speaking at times ;)
Thanks a million stars for sharing! ⭐️
Never seen this before! Thank you
a new favourite. ty Ananda Das.
thanks for uploading the whole speech :). (least i think it's whole). I've seen clips from this speech/lecture but only 10 minute or so clips.
Even if one do not agree with what he is saying, you just cannot deslike, that's an example of novel /out of dimension way of thinking and highly well articulated to the others too. We are in need of people like HIM these day and there is none.
The dislikes on this video are an equivalent to about a half of 1 like.
I can't believe the magic of this.. at ruclips.net/video/ANosz9vVRlI/видео.htmlh18m40s Terrence says he needs a 'very large chronologically organized image based historical database' 10 years before it was created and I am watching this on exactly that. A very large chronologically organized image based historical database. This just validates what he is talking about throughout this lecture on so many levels. This man is from the future.
+Samir Patnaik What a beautiful comment. Very well said! One of the saddest things ever to me....is that Terence died 15 years ago...and wasn't able to witness the beginning up-slope of the exponential curve that is The Singularity. Think of every TED Talk you've ever seen, or that exists, and now realize Terence died before ALL of that. I would _love_ to see what he'd have to say about humanity's current state. If nothing else, his optimism and insight would add so much to our current situation. It's so depressing that he's gone. He was like Michael Jackson in a sense...an utterly unique one of a kind that will _never again_ appear on this planet.
avedic I can see the reason for your poignant ponderings brother. But you have nothing to worry about. "Whatever you NEED to do, you'll FIND yourself doing."
Terry talks about how we are headed towards a Gaia Consciousness (Technological Singularity) again through our technologically mediated telepathy. Shamans knew of it. It is something that escapes the technology of verbal language. It needs chants, sacrifice fires, tribal music, dance to be communed.
Watch the movie Baraka and Samsara. It doesn't have a single spoken word but the visuals are so powerful you'll understand what Terrence was talking about when says make a waterfall, a jungle your teacher.
I had these existential cravings way before I was acquainted with the Terrence, the man and the words. A friend who is no more in good terms with me, introduced me to Jason Silva, Shots of Awe. They were shots of awe, literally. It articulated the inarticulable human expression. A much greater awareness arose. I believed nothing more powerful can possibly exist than this.
In one video, Drugs As A Tool For Spirituality, Jason quotes Terry. I go out on search for psychonautics, psychedelics and TMK. I had no idea about them at all. I find a VICE article on DMT it blows my mind. Terrence McKenna is quoted in it. Interesting I see the name. I YouTuBe him. Trust Yourself video pops up. Listen to it. I am transfixed no one ever has put in this beauty, this truth in a way more poignant and profound than him. I am hooked.
Since then everyday I discover something that throws me off about his ideas. I find a lot of TMK appreciators but the sad thing is they do not truly understand TMK.
This quote:
“We have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered, you're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.' And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.”
Watching Terry's lectures and making him a guru is making him cultural and contradictory to his ideas. It is pure debunking of the primacy of your experience.
True there will never be another TMK. But we will have even more more deeper minds than him, rest assure. You can't even be sure that tomorrow you won't find one. We are living in magical times. Human emergence is unprecedented magic. There is something out there. There is something deep within. It want's us to know that we are, we exist and we are loved beyond our maddest imagination.
I love you, brother. May the force be with you.
Gah....so much to reply to, but I'm short on time. I did love your comment _"Watch the movie Baraka and Samsara. It doesn't have a single spoken word but the visuals are so powerful you'll understand what Terrence was talking about when says make a waterfall, a jungle your teacher."_ - I've seen both films and 100% get what you mean. Those films are a powerful form of meditation on the underlying waveform behind the immense tapestry of existence.
avedic Thank you so much for taking precious time out of your day to reply :)
wich is the "very large chronologically organized image based historical database" ?
Watching Terence McKenna live is so surreal
Would love to have chatted it up with TMac.
In the 90's and early 2000's I would have sounded like a Mckenna disciple and yet I just recently discovered the guy. Shared his speaks with an old psychedelic(who didn't know of Terence the 90's either)copilot buddy and he was like "were was this guy when we were talking about these things and everybody thought we were nuts" lol
What a great mind and gifted speaker. We could use a modern day Mckenna I think.
Someday I wish to be as articulate and well spoken as Terence
I remember reading about him in High Times in the 90s and thinking how this guy has a lot of balls talking openly about all this. It was only many years later when his talks became available online that I was able to listen to him speak and it was a revelation. So many times he’ll say things that make me think, “I thought I was the only one that ever considered that before!” It’s like listening to an old friend now.
I just wish I had the courage to explore these things in a more serious way back then because I could’ve been going to these lectures when he was still in this dimension with us. I knew these molecules were profound and had so much potential for human advancement back then, but at least I’m rediscovering now the incredible benefits they can have.
I love how a lot what he's talking about, especially at the beginning, relates a lot to the current rise of LLMs and proto AGI
God Bless Terence McKenna I will always love listening to him
This is an absolute gem, thank you so much for sharing this friend
You know you’ve gotten deep into Terence McKenna when you don’t laugh when the audience laughs anymore. You take what Terence says as seriously as he does.
I say this because sometimes Terence says things that are “snicker-inducing.” This snickering is the result of Terence’s ideas coming into contact with our conditioned sensibilities. When that snickering reaction doesn’t happen anymore, that’s when you know your conditioned sensibilities do not grip you as much and you can begin to hear and interpret Terence as he intended to be heard and interpreted. Rather than as a strange curiosity on display at the fair
excellent talk
A methodical thinker like myself. Terrence is a visionary from beyond.
Rock and roll style
Ill rock and roll your style
the way he sais it at 1:1:24 and onward, hilarius. what an amazing character
These crowds have to laugh at EVERYTHING like it is just freaking HILARIOUS.
I think the joy of McKenna is hearing someone put into words the feelings you can’t express, or share with family or friends. The laughter is the sound of isolation dissolving.
Amazing video. Thank you for this. Such an amazing mind that is not given enough credit.
Thanks for the upload!
Wonderful and entertaining.
Thank you.
He was so stoned in this one.
The Aware Mind
he was stoned 90% of his life lol
I don't think I have seen THIS ONE.
was there - thanks for posting this!
*_"Cyber-space is an exclusively all-male nerd domain at the moment. 90% of the people on the net are guys..."_*
Gah...if only he could have lived long enough to see what would happen over the next 22 years. He died about 16 years ago...and it's so depressing to me. He would have been giddy as fuck to see what humanity has created lately...and what we're about to create. Hell, just look up the TED Talk about the woman who's team is developing a way to literally decode via deep learning, and then record ALL mental imagery...*_including dreams_*. Or the TED Talk about the technology that will soon allow us to tease-out the audio from videos that were previously entirely without sound. It just goes on and on. I could list 100 new ideas inventions and technologies like that...and still miss a lot of it. And that's not even taking into account what will occur over the _next_ two decades. What fascinating times we live in. If only Terence were here to witness it...._and_ expound on it for the growth and _pleasure_ of humanity. I genuinely miss him....
+avedic do you have any names to refer to those particular TED talks? What was the name of the woman decoding deep learning?
Click on my username....in my channel I've got a "TED Talks" playlist. Both talks are in there. Super interesting stuff. :)
3 years later, Elon Musk is trying to improve/understand human consciousness and merge our species with AI, also to make anime bitches real 😂
"the woman who's team is developing a way to literally decode via deep learning, and then record ALL mental imagery...including dreams."
Oh Great! A woman with direct access to a Man's deep dark secrets and fears. Don't they do enough to fuck with our lives?
"Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those with eyes to see it."

Thx a ton Ananda ❤
great talk,what a man!!hes missed, id love to sit down with him for a chat.
sadly he had to die 16 years ago
very cool.
This talk is about a quarter-century old. That's crazy....
avedic
Yes, it’s amazing, right? Wish he were here right now.
38:58 : "a 'meek shall inherit the Earth' deal... and where the other people go is not said."
they laugh until you hear terence say some shit at the worst point in a trip like "youre dying, youre dying. Im not, but you are."
McKenna already had it figured out, a year before I was even born.
Thanks
what a freaking brilliant, brilliant mind. he is perhaps my favorite person to have ever lived, next to my wife.
2023 ❤
he calms the soul so much been such a guide for me threw the tough struggles in life. I would of loved him and Alan watts to do some serious talking 👁 grateful in ever way for his knowledge ❤
Temporality is temporary. “Rest in the timeless.”
i wish i could have met him so i could have a big massive argument with him. i love him. you never hear anyone disagree with him, never get much debate. what he says contradicts himself all the time... what do people think of him? lets tear what he says to pieces. because i love it.
its like he knows everything about anything.
SDCISK he kind of does though haha
Contradicts wtf. T was smart as FUCk and nailed 'bout anything/everything..
1:09 interesting point about the internet shows how aged this is.. the net now is much different.
~GENIUS~ is always suppressed. Some unknown subspecies, a High "Society Woman" once said to Beethoven during an argument, "It doesn't matter what you say. You're only a genius." ? And, what was her name again? Anyway, Terance McKenna is truly brilliant. It's too bad you "Peasants" don't honor true genius when they're alive. He's been dead for 20 years. Twenty years is the magic number. That means it's time to let go of all your animosities and pay this man his due. -Bill Howes.
Damn, Bill Howes quoted himself- Abraham Lincoln
They need to make a movie about Terrance McKenna smart human being
This guy was bang on the money huh
Imagine Terence being here in this era of Large Language Models
Great stuff
SO... when he says; Time is the moving image of eternity. He is platos.
27.00 and worth a drink
THANKS FOR THIS!" 👍☯️⚡🕉🍄☮
amazing. prophetic.entertaining
Terrance is hilarious ! Intriguing and funny to listen to ! Rip mr psychonaut!
👍👍👍👍👍
its weird watching this now, knowing what the net became.
Best McKenna talk ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :0)
Hawaii stand up!!!!
He said the Haole experience hAhahaha love this man.
This is a good one
MERCI
1:09:00 funny how terence talks about filling the internet with content haha. his webpresence is insane! and he died before the internet really became mainstream. lol that something pretty amazing
Yes... He actually managed to dowload himself in the circuitry... He was a living (and presently, unfortunately, dead) sign of what must be done, eventually on our behalf, too.
WilmaJonson
his body is dead but nobody can proof that theres no thing (spirit, soul) that lives on in another realm (dreamworld, astral)
i formyself believe terence is a machine elf of his own now :P
Indeed, It fuckin' is/was.. :-D
His vocabulary is too high for the poor non-native me ;__;
it's ok it's too high for us as well
@@Sam-um9nu For u not US
Totally
As a writer who only knows his vocabulary because years of listening to him has taught it to me, he was a verbal genius. Dont fault yourself for having difficulty with it. Words are what I do every day, and it took me a while to get the hang of it.
@@kierharris976 How does one get to this level of rethoric if you don't mind me asking? This is really the thing I'm most fascinated about, it's not really the content of his talks, although that is interesting, it's the way he can use _words_ to mold structure into existence. I could listen to him for hours about the process of making a cup of tea, or sometihng like that.
The best orator of all time!........too bad Churchill didn't smoke weed.
This is amazing
we are in a goldfish bowl, the goldfish has the benefit of being cleaned and fed from an external source and without that help would cease in its own dirt

“By a vicus mode of recirculating...” I love the spontaneous inclusion of Finnegan’s Wake words as much as I love any jawjabberly jibberlish of a wishywash squigglin circuit glyph.
He has talked many times, specifically, about Joyce. I'm not sure what you are saying here.
In this sentence Joyce is maybe referencing circulus vitiosus, which Terence criticizes opposers of psychedelics for doing, with their abstractions about consciousness.
Vicus - vicious - recirculating- vicious circle - vicus - latin - circulus vitiosus
