Terence McKenna talks about the fruitless effort of trying to define what the world really is.

Nothing better than getting so high and blasting terrence mckenna. His speech skills are easily at 100
This is one of the most crucial insights a human being can have about philosophy, psychology, and reality itself. If you are interested in philosophy, psychology or reality, you must understand this as a kind of fundamental law for navigating the intellectual endeavour to understand. Most people are completely spellbound, entranced by their own belief systems without even being aware of it. Our individual programming is so entrenched in who we are that we don’t fully realize how it’s influencing our thoughts, attitudes, and behaviours. This is because it’s an incredibly automatic system within us. It operates in a similar manner to an organ within the autonomic nervous system.
Developing a deeper grasp on language and how it influences us is one of the most powerful and illuminating experiences you can have in this life.
Computer aren’t the only systems that run on code. Humans do too, but we call it language.
As Terence says, language shapes its user in ways that the user is unaware of before it’s too late.
Thank you❤️💪🏾

@@chucky29949 I hear you. Fortunately this will change soon as truth descends back into the conscious awareness of the masses and nobody will need to intellectualize everything.
"the real does not require your participation to be real" god damn i miss thise dude
It's amazing how much Terence there is out there. As much as ive listened, there is always more I havent heard.
Yeh same boat. I am thankful for it. There is well over 100 hours floating around, plus his books. Right times, right places.
Death, death, death! Roll in it citizens!
@Flat Earth Florida
He never wanted that. You have much more to listen to and learn if that's what you think.

Exactly. And out of everything the 2 creepiest talks I've heard is on one when he says he can coax out the entities while on shrooms by saying show show show 😮 and that time he heard his rafter creek, the temperature went down and I won't spoil that one if someone wants to hear it
Terence lives inside internet

ahh brother mckenna. terrence is the man, its a treasure that we can still hear him speak from beyond the grave. his words will change your life if you listen.
Always!
terence is the time
20 seconds in and I'm already like, "everybody needs to hear this!
Couldn't agree more and it's 2 years ago this comment 😭
It's fascinating to acknowledge the internet's role with Terence's teachings being relevant in December of 2019. I wonder how many future generations Terrence will influence/guide.
Ok oóo look lol look loóooo
I just hope world war 3 doesn't delete the internet
Nov 2023!!!
All future generations. His ideas have never stopped permeating the language palaces we inhabit.
Terence is the new Paradigm. He is at the End of Time. 🌍🌎🌏
Mister We Plants Are Happy Plants, you've done a true service to humanity by isolating and posting this vital message. Terrence was a genius, and these ideas get to the heart of the problem of the last 3,000 years of human history. Job well done, WPAHP!
Holy shit yeah man I walk around go to work go about my life thinking that I know what’s what but my model if reality is obviously a joke I don’t know shit. We all basically don’t know shit but we act like we know everything. We are so damn full of it. I am. If we could all recognize and live with humility.
Stay open, no conclusions, always willing to learn. Peace : )
We dont know shit. Thats the one sole thing that seperates me from everyone. If we could look at the paths we roll through as simply a choice to spend your existance in such a manner rather than forcing a neccesity to follow a stricken line across a specific plane that each individual is expected to balance on and fear falling into the "condemning" realities that swirl around the common. Its fun to play with the given paths, to play with the thoughts of others that are taken so siriously in a manner of appreciation for their concepts, but to not be able to step back and make fun of it and know that its simply a manifestation of our thoughts is absurd, yet also being willing to accept any sort of truth given it comes to a supreme moment of conclusion that simply manifests through a transition that would be far beyond any transformation that has been experience if it is even a possibility.
All we can know then is ourselves and our own individual experiences. Check out Drukama mystic tradition if it interests you all. Be well!
The intelligent position is to be humble honest and discerning, and to not act out of the ego. Sadly that won’t get you very far in modern capitalist society!! The “winners” in that game seem to need to step on necks, have an enormous ego and be very confident even when they know they don’t really know shit!!
This idea is just like Robert Anton Wilsons "Maybe Logic". It's brilliant. I live by it.
Wow I need to expand my vocabulary😂
That's never a bad idea
I’m googling left and right lol
Terence was a wordsmith
Thanks for pumping all these out!
Believe it or not. I have been selling the same story to my friends for at least 15 years. The funny thing is I was sure it is not my idea. It was like a radio broadcast bit by bit directly to my thoughts. It happened when I was using my mobile phone. In one moment I completed the puzzle I had in my mind for years. It took me over 15 years to find Terence. After 3 minutes of the first video I found the last piece from the middle of my puzzle. I am cannabis user for over 15 years too. It helped for sure. I have never taken any other drug though. I don't think I need anything. Things that shred my mind daily are astonishing enough. Patterns and codes are emerging everywhere.
Thankfully, because of the internet, and Terrence, many people have actually outgrown their culture much earlier
25 Jan 2021: 1 year after originally after this comment, I still believe that Terrence has much wisdom, but his views are fundamentally flawed. Christ lived and died and rose, but Terrence does not confess it. The Bible talks about people like Terrence. “having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:5. From Terrance McKenna, I have turned away. However, I do still think the internet does much good, I just don’t any longer think that what I believe Terrance’s understanding of what it means to “grow out of one’s culture”, and how he somehow thinks that voting republican is something that people grow out of. He also seems to insinuate that religion is something that people should grow out of. These are no longer beliefs that I hold or agree with, nor would I want anyone, including myself, to “grow out” of their relationship to Christ.
Absolutely, my 20 and 25 year old are already awake, I'm 50 and just woke up a few years ago.
Exactly what I was thinking... I'm 21, and having the internet at such age truly is a blessing (and a curse, if not used properly)

In my day we used to have libraries! Big buildings full of books, not the homeless! 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
@yuz Didn't they just drug you? My coworker has four boys, all drugged! That's how they control the outliers these days, . For me it was 1972 they used rytalin 100mg primarily an adult dose, but who cares!
It was that or suicide! But even then personal choice wasn't really a thing!
im 17 now and i have for the most part 😂
I remember when we thought there was a single reality.
One reality per person. Multiple dimensions per reality.
Spirit Level Studios maybe one of you can help me, I’ve come to this realization literally a month ago and I just can’t stop thinking about it, how i thought that the self was real, it happens to me when I smoke weed, I go back to the reality in which I used to be when I was a kid, and came tu huge conclusions about my life and my development and how all the ideas and things I’ve read have shaped me to be this guy, a self improvement guy, and now I feel like my world is shaky, everything on which I founded my sense of improvement and now I have to do this, etc is false, I don’t know if I should keep playing that game, keep exploring consciousness or I will eventually find a balance between the two, has any of you felt something like this? The weird thing is that I feel it with marijuana, which I looked for it in internet and I couldn’t find similar experiences with it.
@@juanquiros2932 Who is the self that knows the self isnt real? Lol don't get too tangled in your own game man, there is no way out of the trip you are always imposing on yourself. So just enjoy the experience and just be :)
Dalton Martin love the advice, just enjoy the experience and be, for me that is stop taking life so seriously, it’s just that an experience to enjoy
@@spiritlevelstudios YEW!
He makes me want to cry
Don't see why adverts can be used on any of his material
What you know you know , what you do not you do not know . Only believe what is in your direct experience. Open up to all possibilities.
If you want something good for nothing, that's what you'll get.
"Belief is for kids"
Well said, T-McK
Beliefs are unintelligent because they trap you in a box, or imprison you in a matrix.
Thank you
That's also a belief
I think this just helped me realize that my pursuits have been in a direction that isnt true to what i want out of this life.
That's a key turning point, don't wait till you have wasted more time don't become stressed and unhappy, do what you want to in your heart now!!

Oh this makes sense alright
I like what Terence has to say here. And it is his acknowledgement of an inherent uncertainty in our knowing that is most refreshing. Most of us just want to know - and in that "knowledge" is where the greatest trouble begins. Before knowledge is ignorance, and most won't bear the ignorance long enough to begin to see beyond it.
i’m starting to think the majority of the comment section don’t know what Terrence is talking about and just cherry pick to whatever relates to their life.
cantina Depends what you mean by that. People do the thing your describing with Jordan Peterson and the results are shit. You won’t get to that point with Terence McKenna, at least not in a way that you can then turn and blame him.
"if you don't contradict yourself your position is simply not complex enough"
I think that's a Terrence quote.
Is that ok with you?
GO AT so we just sort of fall into Hegel?
I just asked him to pass the joint. He was holding it the whole talk.
Direct perception liberates you from authority.
Knowing is not believing. Believing is like a subscription to and a prescription for an idea, regardless of it's plausibility or idiocity.
your uploads always make my day :)
Our separation from one another is an agony we use to search for the transcendental dimension where we will live forever.
"This college was here before you got here, and it will be here before you go." Professor Wagstaff, portrayed by Groucho. This came to mind at some point during this scintillating talk.
Thank you for your efforts and a great channel. Happy new year!!!
I believe in my experience and the experience of those I trust. My suppositions about the nature of reality are simply playful what ifs until my experience solidifies something "real"
Terrence McKenna: don't believe anything
Also Terrence McKenna: Timewave Zero
I think he's aware of the fact it's not possible to not believe anythint
Cmon Tom, nothing is that simple…
McKenna took the shamanistic path in the birth of the hyperdigital age, how could he not see things as a novelty theory?
And he was kinda right in that 2012 with mass adoption of smartphones, that the information novelty is essentially completed. Now everyone fights over the data/attention it generates.
Perhaps his archaic revival theory will come somewhat true next… I hope it does.
Culture: one’s tolerance and prowess to overcome it is the ultimate litmus test.
Well said. I feel like I bypass it rather than overcome it. Just like Oh yeh, well, so, what else is going on?
Thats insane, I've been saying belief is for the kids for a while now.
As adults one should realize that everything is real.
I love the smug feeling that I have from knowing that you know nothing but think you do... And an absolute horror of thinking that and feeling This is what hell is...
Terrence McKenna i hope you have a nice journey in singularity consciousness. We miss you a lot. ❤
Reaaaalll talkkkk

TMK where are you cosmos man. I’ve dispatched a mycological search for a sit down. Meeting a lot of really strange beings along the way, God bless
I love McKenna, I drink psychedelic tea & have enjoyed all of my experiences.
Love it... A very thoughtful person. Unhindered by paralyzing beliefs.
Except for drug addiction, Bolshevism, and ill-calculated environmentalist nonsense!
Awesomesauce
I would have loved for Chomsky and Mckenna to have a discussion.
I outgrew the culture at like 9 as a matter of fact I never bought into the culture. But I’m also a minority so I’m primed for this.
I was "out" of culture at age 12. So maybe I was never really convinced by it in the first place.
Great video! Thank you!
Belief is another cutural restraint.
There is really no need to look for what is true because it just becomes self evident when you look for what is not true.
I feel like many people know that the systems we live in are just made up by society. That doesn't mean theyre a terrible thing. Many people need this kind of order to not go crazy in their day to day life.
Terence is a true hero of the sixties
1860s or 1960s? 🤭🤭😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Indeed, the news / media is recycled, the same pattern on repeat, and like the timewave theory said - that pattern repeats more frequently as time goes on. I think that post 2012 especially, it's been on a repeat that reminds of the very end of a video game, R-Type Final. I won't try to describe it, cause I'm not sure how to, but it kind of throws the entire history of the game series into a final boss and it just keeps repeating over and over for ages.
a system of balance and transparency needs to be built when we get through this bump in the road
Big bump isn't it.
Terence McKenna is *the* psychedelic experience
The more I learn the less I know and want to know, now I just trust the universe (less stressful). I like to believe that Terence is riding the dmt trip that released the last time he "died", but that is probably all confirmation bias...who knows ? Peace :)
Terrence & Robert Anton Wilson [who did meet/talk I think] I would LOVE to hear a conversation of theirs, he's espousing Maybe Logic!
Both fans of Joyce
not quite what I meant [more a discussion than a lecture ahha] but found it: ruclips.net/video/n1-yNRe6-3Y/видео.html
I agree with mckenna on pretty much everything ive heard him talk about,
From conspiracy theories on the whole being for the dull minded, to the pointlessnes of cultural politics, and technology being a fundamental part of reality, and his respect for the sciences but without accepting anything as factual truth, and obviously the understanding of the benefits of psychedelics, and the Importance of a sense of humour ✌👽, if I ever loved another man it would be mckenna or McGowan (Shane)
I don't know if the fact that they are both Irish has anything to do with it was it😉
I'm sorry what? So, because some people have poor mental models of how ordinary things work means our collective fundamental knowledge is wrong and should be thrown out? I don't see how that follows. Perhaps on an individual basis, our ideas of how things work may be significantly flawed, but on the scale of collective understanding I would say humanity's understanding, at least of basic to intermediate scientific ideas, are quite solid. Anyone care to discuss? Maybe I misinterpreted him?
Truth, sheeple are sheep! We are not identical, not equal in knowledge or capacity for growth! Unfortunately, sheeple need supervision! Can't hate them for it! Much as I'd like to at times!
They are what they are! 😈

" beliefs are forms of culturally endowed paralyzes " @14:00
I was 11 or 12 I was academically intelligent but a cultural robot, my only outlet was art I have so many books covering the works of artists, when I learned about physics just by hearing the word universe for the first time I non stop started reading and watching things etc. Within a month or two I was an atheist, non political, and my natural repulsion to culture was pushed to the point of failure because I still love futbol and other things. I don’t think that’s bad because it helps maintain my sanity. If I didn’t buy in to anything I’d be fucked. Now I even like basketball haha. When Messi retires my only allegiance will be to the counter culture of basketball and Catalonian sociopolitical views and passion for futbol. Simply get rid of those two sports and my only foothold on being human is art. I have also read very little fiction mostly a few absurd and science fiction books that I guess also may save me. Mckenna would say this is condemning not saving but we’re doomed to pretend to live in society so if you can confirm that you do buy in to some kind of bull shit then it’s very hard to achieve any acceptance.
Cause you think off something doesnt make it more or less true!
Betrayed by sight and loved by fright
I like being a kid, imma believe in my experience.
fantastic clip!
I've outgrown my culture at 30
@Daniel McCoy i had my awakening at 6 and i am currently 17 and this outgrowing of culture has been a nihilistic potential for me but i transcended nihilism and entered into being.
@@garinzina2082 Not that you asked, but as far as unsolicited advice goes to the younger crowd, if you are enlightened, it will make it easy for you to play the stock market. Choose based on a 7-10 year return. Buy some land somewhere. Do these two things and you'll be free to walk in and out of society as you please and pursue your own interests.

I've come to a similar conclusion
"Marxism is no different than a belief in the Easter bunny." - Terence McKenna
Awesome.
in my opinion, his weakest critique is economics
SAME with Fascism and Capitalism! They are ALL wrong!
@@ArtAristocracy agreed
this sentence too, taken at the surface level could be mistaken for a justification of capitalism
i agree that all ideology in some way is "a betrayal of 'being'", but we are ideological creatures and will live by one if not the other as a society.
i think if we apply deductive and inductive reasoning to our economic model its quite easy to see that competition and individualism are destructive
@@sivanmisgav9468 yeah, ideology seems to need to be confessed and worked with, individualism has always struck me as a stack of shifting contexts, flexible to mean just about anything. And for my five cents I think competition is not the enemy, but like ideology needs to be uncovered and worked with, particularly in a context with an expanded concept of profit.
I've often wondered what a conversation with Frank Zappa and Terrence McKenna would have been like while they were still here with all of us in the flesh dimension...

Bizarre!

Ive come across a lot of little gems of ideas from alot of people but i don't know enough about the people, or even remember most of their names haha but alot of good stuff out there but of course you gotta go into it with a certain type of wisdom, Terrence was good at representing this actually, because the smarter you get the more your definition of truth changes
I agree Don
Not by a long shot!
The real name of the painting..someone has to be familiar with the esoteric meanings of Apollo and Afrodite to distinguish the arbitrary use of words and icons or else he may just blindly share a piece of arrogance to blind public..kids haven't witnessed yet the mimetic willingness of adults in this sense ideology indeed is a betrayal of being..People die in their effort to support their illusions and fantasies..More often than not Western philosophers confirm that there is no East in a compass..such a pity on behalf of their intellectuallity..
Dou you believe that believing is wrong?
Very much so! It doesn't allow for growth! I consider this bad!
It's called Maya!

At the end, there is a mention of the beliefs and the Easter Bunny. To this day, I cannot find any mention of bunnys nor chocolate bunnys in the bible nor any other ancient religious text...
The last sentence "Everybody needs to get a grip on the uncertainty of the intellectual inter cry" Can you please explain this quote to me? Thank you and have a peaceful day ;)
He said "intellectual enterprise."
Mateusz Dreja .. he's saying. We have to accept that we know nothing. The smartest minds in the world often say that the more knowledge they aquire the more they realize how little they know. The more you learn about the universe the more you realize how complex it is.
