    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.

      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.

    Terrence McKenna should be required curriculum in our K-12 school systems - as well as breathing and mindfulness. It is criminal that our children aren’t exposed. My kids were in high school when I began teaching them McKenna doctrine. When they were legal adults- only when they asked, I facilitated their journeys w various psychedelics. As a parent, it is something I was proud of. And my children are grateful that their perspective of life was significantly broadened and deepened because of 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.

      I’d argue that increased consciousness slows down time perception. That the more conscious we are, the slower time seems to pass.

      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 😋

  • @MrClockw3rk

    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.

    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.

    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😂❤
