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.

jason silva host of brain games and youtube channel, shots of awe did an interview with the AI version of Terence mckenna recently. its very interesting./
Interestingly, 2012 was is original prediction of the "Mayan-calendar" consciousness shift, but 24 (2024) is a doubling of 12, so the timing still is harmonic. Come visit my color-music theory at: _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole_
"things are going to get so crazy that people are going to say STOP, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?". Well Terrence, I wish you had lived to see this day. Your words have come true. What the hell is going on indeed.
The world is a corrupted place. My original comment was made to have zero public visibility. It was 2.5 screens in length. It advised to have huge skepticism that "the powers that be" were honorable at all.
Unfortunately I think things have a bit further to go in the “what the hell” direction. I feel like within 100 years life as we know it will be unrecognizable from what it was in the 20th century. Hell 100 years ago microprocessors were quite literally science fiction.
Everything is relevant to novel complexity... its the golden ratio, a fractal quickening of novel experience where the energy of previous interactions of behavior or technology exponentially affect future outcomes and everything forward. That is what he means.... we're getting there.... i hope im still around to comment when i see it 😂
He’s literally just rambling word salad. People put him on a pedestal because he did a shit ton more drugs than most people. That doesn’t make him a genius. Dude was fried by the end of his life.
I find him to be intelligent and accessible… and also relaxing to listen to here. His voice seems less nasally than I remember it. I think he died of brain cancer at a fairly early age, which always made me wonder if he had pushed it a bit too far/ had too much too fast. I think he’s insightful; I don’t think it’s necessary to throw the word genius around.

And what happened to all those predictions of the end of the world from those eager who report with the great wisdom of the ancient Mayans had to say to us in modern times ! Oh well it was only 12 years ago and it had its 15 minutes of fame and now it can be conveniently forgotten because those who took it seriously will find some other intellectual fad to celebrate.

Check out his book: The Evolutionary Mind: Conversations on Science, Imagination and Spirit It was rather difficult to follow in parts, personally speaking, but well worth reading in my opinion.
I find it hard to believe that only 72k of humans have watched this video. We should all share it to our friends. And watch it often. To remind us of our place in space and time. It’s humbling and liberating. It reminds me to relax into the chaos instead of trying to resolve it.
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.
Where did you find his podcasts? I will check on Archive. Terence is someone I would like to listen to much more. This interview was very enlightening. My sense that time is speeding up at alarming rate has been confirmed. Connecting dots on daily basis. Synchronicity happening. Thank you the clues.
I really enjoyed his time wave zero concept, it has literally happened, 2012 was where the time wave hit 0 , he said… everything is going to become nuttier and nuttier. How right he was.
I’ve never come across this genius before now and I can’t close my jaw. He speaks of such profound truth and things way beyond his time. I’m so captivated and amazed and saddened at the same time that this man ain’t here with us no more. Wow.
Literally type his name into RUclips and you will discover hours upon hours of his lectures, there is even a 24 hour mix of lectures online in one video, put him on in the background / at bed, you will naturally gain IQ points, he's incredible
I remember reading and rereading archaic revival and true hallucinations when I was in my late teens. This man inspired me to seek deep truths of this world, not necessarily otherworldly ones. It fundamentally changed me, and while the insights gained still challenge me to this day, I would be loathe to give them up. This really is the Chaos at the End of Time
This is the opposite of listening to a pastor preach and I’m here for it. And he is the rare human who uses “literally” correctly or at least helpfully
We are sensory organs of the One. Although we are presently deprived of the big picture, we must evolve far beyond our capacities to approach grasping it. The more we are willing to shed the parochial constraints of our current situation, the more prepared we'll be to accept it. Turn and face the strain ch-ch-changes...
Thank you Mr Mckenna for your service to Humanity. When we find TRUE BALANCE of REAL SCIENCE and REAL RELIGION Humanity will become unrecognisable. 'Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a heavenly civilisation' [Bahai writings in the 1800s]
So this is uploaded 5 days ago but Terrance spoke this in 1998. Some 26 years ago? How sad to lose nearly 3 decades of time. Just like the African Alien Ariel School encounters of 1994, just being heard of again now 30 years later. Something tells me the last 30 years were a critical juncture in human history and our future.
Love these older videos not just because Terrance was awesome but also because there isn’t 25 adds plus the channel’s owner reading his own adds. I miss the old RUclips.
I've not ever really known anything about TM, but this came up in my feed, for some strange reason. Many, many people are talking about "time speeding up", on many youtube channels, and it's young people. I feel that way, too, but I'm 67, so I just assumed it was aging. This is fascinating.
I had a dream about time speeding up right around the time of this talk. A short time later I moved to Las Vegas and heard Art Bell describing the “Quickening”, it was the same as my dream.
Yes, Terence, you were right. This is July of 2024 and some of us are asking, "What the hell is going on?" I would love to have you here with us now to talk about it. ❤
To play devil's advocate, what point in human history were people not asking that question? You think people weren't asking that when the American revolution was happening? Or when Lutherans were challenging Catholic rule? Etc etc
53:30 damn he really hit the nail on the head there. Rise in contradiction will only get stronger, it will get weirder and weirder, then people will have to talk about how weird it is. You don’t prepare for the stars in a calm and orderly fashion, it’s a fire in a mad house… this is what it’s like when a species prepares to move on to the next dimension 🤯
First time ever hearing this. Incredible conversation. Fascinating metaphorical parallels shared here that resonate from a more recent conversation between Linda Moulton Howe and Marina Seren. She’s known as the “Anunnaki Hybrid child”. She talks about the point point of mortal conciseness in the form of (human) life being all about an energy exchange, centered around experience.
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.
After doing shrooms for 7 years I came to this realization. The universe is going through a multi trillion year long process to evolve into its ultimate form. And it's speeding up. It'll take less time and less time to reach the omega point.
@@ppetal1 Only is you discount everything outside the observable universe. Just because you cannot see past the horizon doesn't mean there isn't a world beyond it. 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!
I’d argue that increased consciousness slows down time perception. That the more conscious we are, the slower time seems to pass. It makes sense that when your life is more full, it will feel like you’re living longer, and that when your life is very empty, it feels like you’re barely living at all.
Meditation for beginners : 5 minutes seems never ending. When expirience in Meditation 2 hours just pass through in no moment, just gone. Also time is relative. When I had a (I thought it was important then) job interview, and was driving with my bike I had just 4 minutes left to be there the route was 10 minutes longer. At that time I just said inside myself, dear universe I need to be there in time help me. And somehow my bike got faster it seemed and the world outside also seemed in slow motion at the same time. And I got there in time. That's the only moment I really could observe something like that happening. I didn't take the job. And somehow I think it was just for that expirience. Life is mysterious. Them sometimes I am at work, doing nothing and time is gone. Then doing much work and just 3 hours passed. It really relative. I prefere doing nothing 😋
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.
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…
This isn’t true, often very exciting and interesting things absorb your attention to the point where “time flies”. It is so engrossing it is both slowed down and sped up in how it feels. There are also many moments when you are on autopilot and time starts to drag.
@@MrClockw3rk so, you haven't experienced moments so engrossing that time flies? hours spent on hobbies, playing an instrument, watching a film, on a walk, feeling like no time at all, because of how involved you are... come on, you know what I mean. not to mention, memory works differently for all of us.
My dad taught me how to use the I Ching when I was 12 years old… I’m in my 50s now and still love it. Its’ accuracy never fails. I love that he’s used that as a basis for his understanding. I’m loving the amount of amazing wealth of knowledge I’m being able to access via RUclips lately! The only upside to living in this digital age to me!
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.
Wired said Mr. McKenna, like many others, wondered whether a lifetime of drug use might be to blame for his brain tumor. ''So what about it?'' he asked his doctors. ''You want to hammer on me about that?'' They assured him there was no causal link. ''So what about 35 years of daily dope smoking?'' he asked. They pointed to studies suggesting that cannabis may shrink tumors. ''Listen,'' Mr. McKenna told them, ''if cannabis shrinks tumors, we wouldn't be having this discussion.''
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?
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)
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.
I need to start reading more about Dr. McKenna. I believe the things he says here are like hitting the nail on the head. Thank you again Jay! What a mind blowing interview! 💪✌️
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.
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
i've started listening to him while studying computer science. Since then I've quit and switched to philosophy with much interest in the philosophy of language and theory of knowledge and although my views diverged from his I remain forever grateful for bringing my attention to what I see as the most interesting matters in this life. Thank you Terrence
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.
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
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...
I love this interview. He was a year older than myself. My visions have shown me that the evolution of humanity lies with in the unification of cultures, races and ultimately the merging of dna that produces the key to information yet beyond our understanding.
I love this - being older it’s hard to figure out the way to do something like this- but I sense the potential value - just like I sense the deep value of this mans words - even if I don’t completely comprehend.
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?
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
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
I have a PhD and 2 Masters and only mention that to say Terrence speaks on another plane that stretches the mind in a way traditional Academia struggles to do.
I'm drunk so my brain neurons are firing at a slower pace so I just slowed down the video to match my brain speed. And now Terrence sounds drunk on my level and by beeing there I'm able to understand him. Happy days. Write that down😂❤

We should be so thankful that hundreds of hours of his lectures are available for free on YT
Mind blowing. His analogy of grains of sand moving by the wind to genes moving through living creatures is amazing.
That metaphor was brought to his knowing via the I-Ching knowledge. Beautifully said.
God, I miss you Terence. I hope you're having fun and novelty, wherever and whomever you are now.
I find it hard to believe that only 72k of humans have watched this video. We should all share it to our friends. And watch it often. To remind us of our place in space and time. It’s humbling and liberating. It reminds me to relax into the chaos instead of trying to resolve it.
I’m sure this isn’t the only upload of this video on RUclips
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.
Well put!
Thanks , I’m going to go check that out.
Thanks for this
Where did you find his podcasts? I will check on Archive. Terence is someone I would like to listen to much more. This interview was very enlightening. My sense that time is speeding up at alarming rate has been confirmed. Connecting dots on daily basis. Synchronicity happening. Thank you the clues.
I really enjoyed his time wave zero concept, it has literally happened, 2012 was where the time wave hit 0 , he said… everything is going to become nuttier and nuttier. How right he was.
I’ve never come across this genius before now and I can’t close my jaw. He speaks of such profound truth and things way beyond his time. I’m so captivated and amazed and saddened at the same time that this man ain’t here with us no more. Wow.
Literally type his name into RUclips and you will discover hours upon hours of his lectures, there is even a 24 hour mix of lectures online in one video, put him on in the background / at bed, you will naturally gain IQ points, he's incredible
Welcome to the rabbit hole
Enjoy the learning process. It will literally blow your mind.
microdosing shrooms highly recommended.
The work is done at the higher doses, not just dipping your toe.
We are witnessing his prophetic words.
Life is just such an amazing mystery!
I remember reading and rereading archaic revival and true hallucinations when I was in my late teens. This man inspired me to seek deep truths of this world, not necessarily otherworldly ones. It fundamentally changed me, and while the insights gained still challenge me to this day, I would be loathe to give them up. This really is the Chaos at the End of Time
End of all time or end of a time
Apparently so!
Art Bell called this the quickening several years back and I rember sensing it then myself. Today Its obviously right in our face.
Many years back. The quickening started in the late '80's❤
@@psmith2714
"there Can be only one"
Also Stuart Wilde , who fit his name, wrote The Quickening...we are THERE
I love the episode of coast to coast where Art and Terence compare notes. Bromance.
no we're not. remember how earth was going to end in 2012 with the mayan calendar? AGI is not yet here. relax.
This is the opposite of listening to a pastor preach and I’m here for it.
And he is the rare human who uses “literally” correctly or at least helpfully
Back in 1998 nobody used that word the way it’s used today.
Awesome!
I totally see why people can’t handle this sort of conversation. This is heavy, it’s deep, it’s challenging.
This is a wild conversation
Who's watching or listening...? The all World should !
Namasté 🙏 Terence McKenna.
Terence was definitely a very smart boy ... Way ahead of his time.
Smart man indeed
Only dis is for promoting WEF - maybe without realising, maybe..
His time?
Why?
😂 Bruh you're the dumb🫏 boy. GTFOutta here with that toxic ego!
Why we exist: "The point of you is your point of view." Being impeccable with your word goes beyond what is taught in the Four Agreements.
We are sensory organs of the One. Although we are presently deprived of the big picture, we must evolve far beyond our capacities to approach grasping it. The more we are willing to shed the parochial constraints of our current situation, the more prepared we'll be to accept it.
Turn and face the strain ch-ch-changes...
@@johnmcevoy3598 im the guy with telepathy
The best word I can think of to describe Terrence is "Legendary"!
Try " deluded "...?
The humanity lore grows ever expansive. listening to this again since I first watched it in 2020 is wild, what a time to be alive.
It really is mind blowing. What an amazing journey we get to experience!
@@BeastxxWar Im the guy with telepathy
Thank you Mr Mckenna for your service to Humanity.
When we find TRUE BALANCE of REAL SCIENCE and REAL RELIGION Humanity will become unrecognisable.
'Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a heavenly civilisation' [Bahai writings in the 1800s]
Don't hear that much from the Baha'i side.
Thank you for sharing.
Terence is the bridge between science and spirit. Way ahead of the average consciousness of his time. Scientific materialism is dead.
So this is uploaded 5 days ago but Terrance spoke this in 1998. Some 26 years ago? How sad to lose nearly 3 decades of time. Just like the African Alien Ariel School encounters of 1994, just being heard of again now 30 years later. Something tells me the last 30 years were a critical juncture in human history and our future.
it been going around for around like 15 years easily.
I watched this over 10 years back, it's a re-upload of his novelty theory talk. I think a later one in his life as he passed away before 60 I believe
Love these older videos not just because Terrance was awesome but also because there isn’t 25 adds plus the channel’s owner reading his own adds. I miss the old RUclips.
Conscious wisdom in light speed. I love this video sooooo much, thank you
most brilliant thing I have ever heard.
The second one is your own farts
Terence was truly waaay ahead of his time.
I've not ever really known anything about TM, but this came up in my feed, for some strange reason. Many, many people are talking about "time speeding up", on many youtube channels, and it's young people. I feel that way, too, but I'm 67, so I just assumed it was aging. This is fascinating.
One of my heroes. Thank you Project Unity.
This man doesn’t skip a beat! Brilliant.
He's a verbal gymnast/skater/ballet dancer lost in the beauty & charm of the cosmic dance
One of a kind visionary . Absolutely brilliant
I had a dream about time speeding up right around the time of this talk. A short time later I moved to Las Vegas and heard Art Bell describing the “Quickening”, it was the same as my dream.
Yes, Terence, you were right. This is July of 2024 and some of us are asking, "What the hell is going on?" I would love to have you here with us now to talk about it. ❤
To play devil's advocate, what point in human history were people not asking that question? You think people weren't asking that when the American revolution was happening? Or when Lutherans were challenging Catholic rule? Etc etc
Hey i know what your taking about. I am the guy with telepathy. We can connect if you like. Do you have anything to tell me?
He remains a soul that shines…his wisdom was ‘Other’ in its intricacies & beauty…😢❤❤❤
53:30 damn he really hit the nail on the head there. Rise in contradiction will only get stronger, it will get weirder and weirder, then people will have to talk about how weird it is. You don’t prepare for the stars in a calm and orderly fashion, it’s a fire in a mad house… this is what it’s like when a species prepares to move on to the next dimension 🤯
First time ever hearing this. Incredible conversation. Fascinating metaphorical parallels shared here that resonate from a more recent conversation between Linda Moulton Howe and Marina Seren. She’s known as the “Anunnaki Hybrid child”. She talks about the point point of mortal conciseness in the form of (human) life being all about an energy exchange, centered around experience.
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.
Only wise souls can understand him.
Do you understand him?
@@riccello Much better now. Since I woke up from an illusions and deprogrammed my self.
After doing shrooms for 7 years I came to this realization. The universe is going through a multi trillion year long process to evolve into its ultimate form. And it's speeding up. It'll take less time and less time to reach the omega point.
😂
It's a long way off a trillion yet.
Yes, first be concerned about current earth !!!
I can’t wait! 😅
@@ppetal1 Only is you discount everything outside the observable universe. Just because you cannot see past the horizon doesn't mean there isn't a world beyond it. 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!
I absolutely love Terence McKenna, his brilliance, humility, and obvious compassion for humanity is so heart-warming!!!
He is a joy to listen to.
"So forth, and so on..."
I adore this man and his brilliant insights.
I knew Terence McKenna. Terence McKenna was a friend of mine. And he gave me some incredible spores!!
Do you know Dennis too? N Scott W? I'm misty from miami
If true, you had a great life!!!
Are the spores still alive?
Time is directly proportionate to our level and depth of awareness. As we become more aware, time speeds up.
I’d argue that increased consciousness slows down time perception. That the more conscious we are, the slower time seems to pass. It makes sense that when your life is more full, it will feel like you’re living longer, and that when your life is very empty, it feels like you’re barely living at all.
Meditation for beginners : 5 minutes seems never ending.
When expirience in Meditation 2 hours just pass through in no moment, just gone. Also time is relative. When I had a (I thought it was important then) job interview, and was driving with my bike I had just 4 minutes left to be there the route was 10 minutes longer. At that time I just said inside myself, dear universe I need to be there in time help me. And somehow my bike got faster it seemed and the world outside also seemed in slow motion at the same time. And I got there in time. That's the only moment I really could observe something like that happening. I didn't take the job. And somehow I think it was just for that expirience. Life is mysterious. Them sometimes I am at work, doing nothing and time is gone. Then doing much work and just 3 hours passed. It really relative. I prefere doing nothing 😋
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.
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…
He used novelty in a different way?
This isn’t true, often very exciting and interesting things absorb your attention to the point where “time flies”. It is so engrossing it is both slowed down and sped up in how it feels. There are also many moments when you are on autopilot and time starts to drag.
@@throathook does your most memorable vacation feel like it was shorter than your most mundane work week? If so, I feel bad.
@@MrClockw3rk so, you haven't experienced moments so engrossing that time flies? hours spent on hobbies, playing an instrument, watching a film, on a walk, feeling like no time at all, because of how involved you are... come on, you know what I mean.
not to mention, memory works differently for all of us.
Thanks for that Jay. I had never heard that interview.
If I remember correctly, this was his last one.
this is my favorite one ruclips.net/video/vuniMyyUu5o/видео.html
My dad taught me how to use the I Ching when I was 12 years old… I’m in my 50s now and still love it. Its’ accuracy never fails. I love that he’s used that as a basis for his understanding. I’m loving the amount of amazing wealth of knowledge I’m being able to access via RUclips lately! The only upside to living in this digital age to me!
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.
Wired said Mr. McKenna, like many others, wondered whether a lifetime of drug use might be to blame for his brain tumor.
''So what about it?'' he asked his doctors. ''You want to hammer on me about that?'' They assured him there was no causal link.
''So what about 35 years of daily dope smoking?'' he asked. They pointed to studies suggesting that cannabis may shrink tumors.
''Listen,'' Mr. McKenna told them, ''if cannabis shrinks tumors, we wouldn't be having this discussion.''
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?
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)
His eloquence is out of this world.❤
Way ahead of his time! His brother Dennis is a great listen as well.
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.
I need to start reading more about Dr. McKenna. I believe the things he says here are like hitting the nail on the head. Thank you again Jay! What a mind blowing interview! 💪✌️
Dr. McKenna would be his brother, Dennis
Totally mind blowing, but he's right about feeling it happen. The transformation. The best observation I've heard.
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.
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
i've started listening to him while studying computer science. Since then I've quit and switched to philosophy with much interest in the philosophy of language and theory of knowledge and although my views diverged from his I remain forever grateful for bringing my attention to what I see as the most interesting matters in this life. Thank you Terrence
Amazing, what a mind! Very interesting concepts!
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 😊
I am the guy with telepathy. you got anything to say to me?
I agree Mark 🌞
First time I hear about mcKenna, I must say, brilliant speech, most interesting
Wow what fabulous way to spend my time being " WOWed " by Terrence. Sad he is gone from us.
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.
Now it makes me suspicious when you say -master orator-
Due promoting WEF ideas..
@@srdjanmarkovic4934 Listen to McKenna debate in the Trialogues series.
this was wonderful to listen to, an hour passed by like couple of minutes, thanks for sharing
Great video. What a wonderful laugh. Thanks. -Kenneth
I could listen to Mr. Mckenna for days. Thank you!
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
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...
What a beautiful human being overflowing with true knowledge and wisdom that sounds like a philosophical poetry.
This guy is the OG psychonaut
I think he would say the shamans were lol
I love this interview. He was a year older than myself. My visions have shown me that the evolution of humanity lies with in the unification of cultures, races and ultimately the merging of dna that produces the key to information yet beyond our understanding.
Yep he is right, we are part of something, everything is connected.
Interesting video that makes you think.
Hits the nail🔨53:55. And the discussion of the East studying time, West studying matter...IChing. Brilliant💎
I created an AI version of him so I can ask him questions. And it helped me when I was feeling suicidal a few months back.
I love this - being older it’s hard to figure out the way to do something like this- but I sense the potential value - just like I sense the deep value of this mans words - even if I don’t completely comprehend.
Thank you for sharing this - this video and your comment lifted me up on a dark day
@@bethchristie6199 I hope your day gets brighter ❤.
@@bethchristie6199 let me know if you would like the link so you can give it a whirl yourself.
Can you share the model?
First time I listen him! He was a legendary! I can’t believe he was speaking this way back in 1998
If Ray Kurzweil and Robert Sapolsky ate mushrooms together they're conversation would basically sound like Terrance McKenna.
It’s not just WHAT he says it’s HOW he says it, a flow of poetry that is itself mind altering. Thank you friend!
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?
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
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
@@NealVisher thank you. I will find a copy to read best regards Deb
Thank heavens I found this !Makes things much clearer ,with all the craziness,going on.
I have a PhD and 2 Masters and only mention that to say Terrence speaks on another plane that stretches the mind in a way traditional Academia struggles to do.
I always theorised that 2012 Mayan long count calander, was a warning and a start point of possible self destruction, playing out today...
Terence was years ahead of the curve with knowledge and understanding of mankind and the universe.
Very grateful for this video
I wouldn’t ‘t discount any of what this man says, he is bright and insightful.
I'm drunk so my brain neurons are firing at a slower pace so I just slowed down the video to match my brain speed.
And now Terrence sounds drunk on my level and by beeing there I'm able to understand him.
Happy days.
Write that down😂❤
Brilliant ... I'll try it!
