Listen "Podcast 538 – “Are Psychedelics Spiritual?”"
Episode Synopsis
Guest speaker: Terence McKenna
PROGRAM NOTES:
Date this lecture was recorded: August 10, 1998
[NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.]
"This always comes up in the discussion about are psychedelics spiritual. Or is it legitimate and coherent to talk about psychedelics as a part of a spiritual path, or a moral path, or a path to enlightenment. I've always said I wasn't ready to make that claim."
"The strange thing about the spiritual quest, or the quest for understanding whether it's spiritual or not, is how endangered it is by answers, as I said, by closure."
"The truth doesn't require your cooperation to exist, but illusion does."
"Bad trips make bad sex look like no problem, which is an amazing thing to achieve."
"It's very hard not to be a creature of your own time."
