"If one tenth of what this guy is saying is true.. this is the most amazing thing in the world." Funny how perfect these words are to describe McKenna himself.
They actually have been! I’m fairly certain either Dennis McKenna or Paul Stamets said exactly that on JRE when the topic of Terence came up
I had the same thought
@@weemps. I think it was Paul Stamets
It was Dennis who said this about his beloved brother, to paul on a podcast about mushrooms
I know I am kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream new movies online ?
No one ever listened to too much Terence McKenna
i’ve listened to every single one of his lectures over 300 times.

I wish I could keep McKenna on 24/7, playing passively in the background as I went about my life.
Uh, you can do just that. There is a ton of tech dedicated to just such an endeavor.
I discovered terrence for myself in mid 90 s I was into occult literature and at Barnes and noble the new age section was side by side my eyes wondered and I saw his book archaic revival but also I was turned on to Castaneda in those days I love eating mushrooms and listening to terrence more than anything but I can't do that anymore mushrooms affect my blood pressure too much unfortunately

Θ∏Σ LΘΘƲΣ ❤
this recording has got to be one of my absolute favorites. The pictures of him as a child and his musings of personal feelings about childhood and culture are near and dear to my heart. Thank for all these awesome videos WPAHP
Hope you guys enjoy this! My subscribers may be familiar with most of these stories but I included a few which weren't on my channel before. It's my birthday so please give it a like, perhaps watch (again) my McKenna movies ;) - Peter

2021 we’re still bringing McKenna with us!
This is the best thing the Information Age has brought us🙏🏻 love you Terrence and you guys have done a wonderful job cutting all this together
Peter, I really love your music, and the way you select Terence's words. The combination is your wonderful creation, truly unique & inspiring.
I just love him so much!
HP Lovecraft i almost cried one time thinking how he’s dead in my reality and i won’t be able to be his friend in this world that for some reason i keep coming back to when i wake up everyday and with pretty much everything that i remember happening to me being from this world but he hasn’t been the whole time i never even got the chance to talk to him 😭💔💔
'Well, look who thinks he's nothing'
More of these! Fantastic!
This is a great compilation! Thank you
I love the story at 50:00 when he was stuck in a mind loop on a bad trip. 'I'm not going to scream, I'm not going to call for help, I'm just going to sit here and wait' until it passes. This actually has application to life beyond tripping... I often wonder about things like depression, where people are encouraged to get immediate help, go into therapy, get on meds, etc., and no one is ever told 'hey, maybe there's a purpose and reason behind the depression, maybe waiting would be better.' I'm not saying people shouldn't try to get out of depression, but maybe your mind needs to go into the darkness for a little bit rather than just immediately getting assistance and artificially making a life you shouldn't be ok with tolerable.
I couldn't agree more! I used to be addicted to oxycodone and valium for 4 years. I was using for many reasons, but they all led back to me running from reality. It wasn't until my mind went into the darkness completely that I then realised what was happening and how I was affecting the people and environment around me. I'm so grateful for them times, however, obviously, while going through them, it was the worst days of my life, but they led to now the best days of my life.
Awesome compilation. I enjoyed it very much, thank you.
Great video! I haven’t heard these stories before, thanks for making this. Terrence is so amazing, Happy listening everybody 🙂
thank you so much brother! been listening to this on the way to work all week and its put me in a great mood for the day bless you fellow light worker shine on!!!!! ☮☯️🕉😍
57:51 is the best pterodactyl wing noise I’ve ever heard come out of a mouth, and he produced it on demand, you gotta admit the man is a dexterous sculptor of sound
I'm fairly certain that terence was probably truly "the most interesting man in the world" for most his lifetime. This guy is mind blowing. I've heard ten hours of his stuff in the last two weeks and I keep hearing things that absolutely blow me away. I love this guy. RIP. You are missed.
LOL now he's talking about kratom. Go figure.
10 hours, ah to go back and discover McKenna for the first time again. You’ve go so much to listen to and read.
the great thing is he left us so much to study. McKenna took great pleasure in people answering questions he couldn't but always asked. the definition of enlightened. being enlightened is being taught by all things.
I just like him so much. I'm in love with his personality, his voice. He seems he was a kind man, a gentle man, a sweet man. If only I could have been alive during his life and spoken with him.
Oh, and by the way, that cartoon animated bit was really funny. 👌
The best humble intellectual of our age. Grateful to live the internet age. Never knew about him even though he was alive when I was younger. The internet allowed me to meet him even thought we never met.
You just need 5 grams to have him in your living room/
I agree 👍 a t least we have these. recordings.....thank god.
Wow! Grateful for this incredible edit
Thank you for this !!
That was an incredible selection. Thank you
best compilation ever i love this socalled mckenna dude ^^
Great compilation!!
Thank you so much terrance has so much knowledge.. I cant wait to finally get a hold of a book!
This was amazing dude thanks!
You're doing God's work, thank for uplounding this! Greetings for Colombia
Fantastic production
1:02:48 brings me to tears. I miss Terence and I never met him.
Awesome thank you!
“It’s not the first time I had stowed away upon a sinking ship” 😂😆
2020: need Terence more than ever
Oh yes!!
Amazing talks. My favourite McKenna video so far. I live on McKenna street in Montreal (not named after him, just a synchronicity)
2021 baby! I needed to hear these
Thank you!
thanks this was nice
Thank you thank you 🙏🏼
The certitude of megalomania! Priceless😂😂😂
one of my favs
36:06 my favourite story ;D
We Plants Are Happy Plants oh yeah, the coincidence stories are awesome.
I've been hit with some mad coincidences! One time me and my Dad were at the park, and we'd walked off in opposite directions, eventually we both made our way back toward each other and we both had out hands clasped together, which was strange, them we both opened our hands to reveal that we'd both caught the same kind of butterfly and came to show the other, they both flew off together
It was amazing
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!
Wait a minute... I have to call BS on that! No way he imagined that before it happened. There's no way thats true. Ive always trusted Terence, but that just isnt believable.
Honeysqueeze, I dont know. I wont believe it until I see it for myself I guess. Peace.
Crazy I’ve never heard him speak about kratom awesome find
What an amazing man
Thanks
McKenna Gold🙌🏻🙏🙌🏻
I saw words coming out of my mouth as I saw myself (not in a mirror) in a hallucination during my second acid trip, which was mostly a bad trip...
Kratom at 22:00 very cool.
Wow cool thank you posting your comment I may not have caught that on my own!! There's some pretty short Vice videos on Kratom in other countries!!
as a former opiate addict an alcoholic, I can attest to the harm reduction qualities of Kratom.
@@bensoros6488 I'm genuinely happy that it works for you but I also know a guy who slit his wrists during kratom withdrawal, it's not without its risks.
I had a professor who was from Berkeley who was so similar. To Terrance , with his cadence, his brilliance sense of humor , and tone of voice, I feel so lucky to experience both of these. People. , I was so scared. Dr Gordon knight. Would see that I was a dummy and fail me , but he and other teachers gave me my first of many A plus grades which I attribute. To taking acid every other day for 4 yearsi , only since scoring acid at the great full dead fairly well concert have I recently started dos sing again with intense curiosity of life,
Is it a thing to sound like him if you're from Berkeley?
That bit abut kratom was spot on.
52:00 as well. Hahaha so good.
love u Terence
All I can say is this , I agree....
A good aspergillium has a piece of natural sponge inside the perforated hollow ball. It comes apart with a screw and washer. So it can hold even more water to sprinkle before putting it back in the bowl for a refill. Otherwise it simply drains out when lifted from the water and the residual is flung through the air.
Aaah, another catholic raised fellow Here😁
23:17 one of my all time favourites
Happy Birthday Sir.
Very good, thanks
The best story is the one of that heavy datura trip I think in napal, he ran into his buddy and the guy didn't know anything that happened. Hehe
Terence's experience goes along with the teachings of Don Juan, author Carlos Castaneda. No doubt non-fiction is stranger than fiction.
Happy Birthday
dood he so fucn rad man
i feel honored to be a student of Dennis and Terrance McKenna. Michael pollan. Paul stamets. Graham Hancock...many more but all these people have something In common...they all preach self knowledge as well as knowledge of self. the message is the same....inner peace will always trump all things. also don't take what your told as self evident truth. learn and read.
hippy birfdaze dude :)
Do you have the names of the songs in the video. The high water weirdness one sounded groovy as hell!
22:52 my favourite story :D
Anyone knows the music that starts around 46:42 ?
imagine having Terence as your english teacher
I'm proud to announce that I, Phil da sky, was like number 420 😚
35.000
We will keep him alive as long as we enjoy
How was taking the life of an Elk, any different then taking the lives of all the Butterflies, you collected? The Dali Llama also came to Racine or Madison WI! Wonder what that experience did for him?
"my life is ruled by obsession" "double Scorpio", that tracks. If his birth data is accurate, hes got Sun, Ascendant, Jupiter, Venus, and Chiron in Scorpio, which is quite the stellium
Hi!! May you please make a list of all the Books you have read??
Does anyone know what rootstock he is refering to. Is it ibogaine?
Shannon inside and outside at the same time
You cut what his response was to Carl Sagan?! You can't leave us hanging!
These are the two times Terence mentioned that meeting, it’s all he said about it.. we may never know
How are you doing today hope all is well. Peace love flower power tie dye and Beads thanks for the Refresher
Happy hatching day egg

Fardow is feeling the cringey feeling
Sometimes i ask myself who i should ask and…
what is the song at the end thats like F A B C
We Plants Are Happy Plants- Tipsiness And Rapture
Terence the point of my story was McKenna
His birthday is on Wednesday this week April 3rd!! Screw April 20th that's for highschool kids....
man hes lived quite a life, i wish i could get anywhere near
ya, it's hard to believe he died at 53. a short life, but it almost seems like he lived several lives when you consider all the things he did. from the prototypical middle-american-turned-college hippie, to wandering hash smuggler and lepidopterist in asia, to ethnobotanist, mushroom grower, author, historian, lecturer, and amateur mathematician, devising his own model predicting the eschaton inspired by the i ching. and it's not like he inherited millions of dollars and then decided to do all of this. it was essentially a choice: at some point around the age of 19 or 20 or so, he decided to go all-in on Weird. and like he said, nature loves courage.
In the words of Terence himself, nature loves courage!!..You get up the courage to take the first steps and nature will not grind you under..it will lift you UP!!..Its like hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed..true words of wisdom..
What about that one time when he took LSD in his youth and the cops and Terence didnt know how to open the door, so he asked the cops to break in?
Or the first time when he took LSA in the mojave desert?
Anyone know where to find those stories? :)
I can probably dig up the second story, but can you explain the first one again? It doesn't ring a bell. Did you hear it in one of his talks?
Yes. I heard it on a psychedelic salon TMK podcast. But i cannot find it again. He was in a hotel room I think, or a friends room. For some reason the police came, and Terence asked them to break the door, because he didnt know how to open it. Thats how is remember it at least :)
Haha. Please find that first one!
Yes Sir! But what Lecture was it? I am sure it is to be found on the psychedelic salon... But I have no idea which one.

Lol I hope this is the one you mean !
I don’t get the very last story
Don't forget blowing bubbles, or drawing plants towards oneself, as if one was the Sun, that plant stayed bent! I'm still a Catholic, and I'm still in touch with all of God's tiniest Creations and He still Grants me Double Reignbows...
Terence looks like Andy Warhol when he young! 7:07
Amazing how young and fresh he looks for 54 yo.
12:49. Where at?
Seychelles
Why is the second story, that starts at 8:32, pitched down? It makes Terence's voice deeper than it actually was. I feel like it's slightly disrespectful
*Edit: Also the third story and a couple others
Many talks by Terence were recorded on magnetic tapes which tend to degrade, some of them are 35 years old.. as they stretch his voice changes..
True, didn't think about that. I just know some people think his voice is "whiny" or he talks too slow, and they speed it up or make it deeper so it's more tolerable to them. I like it how it is.
Appreciate your response!
47:20
Me and Terrance Mckenna have the same birthday. Nov 16th. Thats so weird
So do at least another million people.
@@gregberry7647 i thought it was weird at the time because of the relationship that i was building with psychedelics at the time
Ahhh hes a scorpio! That makes sense
Snowden 777 most scorpios are known to be evil in nature
Oh wow me too lol there must be something there as far as hobbies and interests go..
Scorpios are not evil.They are very intense and sensual. Terrance was a double Scorpio. That is both his sun and moon were in Scorpio ♏️. That accounts for a lot.
37:00
Boy was Carl Sagan wrong in that conversation
36:06
I'd argue there is much to be learned from the existienist such as Nietzsche,Sartre,and Camus that could go hand and hand with the psychedelic experience.
Fardow will now be my new word for Cringe =D
