Episode Synopsis
Guest speaker: Terence McKenna
PROGRAM NOTES:
[NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.]
“The only path in to the supernormal that I've found are the psychedelics. Everywhere else I found chicanery and fraud.”
“It's fun to be a free person. It's fun to not depend upon an institution, an ideology, an other person, a place, a time. And it's very hard to sell this form of fun. People are afraid. People have been dis-empowered, I think, through the process of juvenilization.”
“Millions and millions of people live larval, low-awareness lives warehoused in the burbs, plugged in to Costco and the tele. And as long as the magazine subscriptions stay subscribed and the credit cards continue to be serviced the illusion that there is life happening here is allowed to continue.”
“I think that every single one of us should be learning how to expand our communications skills.”
“It's not about rejecting the media or the marketplace. It's about changing your relationship to it. Do not consume. Produce! . . . Inject your own art.”
“I don't believe alien spaceships are visiting Earth to pull our chestnuts out of the fire, or to do anything much else of interest, but I do think there is an alien presence. It's non-material. You contact it in the psychedelic experience. . . . Its nature is informational.”
“What the alien needs to manifest among us is a suitable landing zone.”
“In a sense, the Internet is a net to catch an alien.”
“In other words, the imagination is like a field of data that is at the Bell level of connectivity in the quantum mechanical universe.”
“Physically, we are alone, physically. But in the imagination we're surrounded by distant friends, and their whisperings are our science, our mathematics, our religions, our culture.”
“We have exhausted the exterior world, and yet the interior world beats like an enormous ocean. And what is ordinary, historical consciousness but a tiny island protruding above that ocean.”
“There was a period in my life where I formed my taste by saying I liked what I didn't like.”
“I think the worst setting for taking drugs is complex social environments, especially public social environments.”
“I believe in large doses . . . rarely.”
