I'm quitting my job this Friday, and have already put in notice. I sit at a computer all day, have for years, as I get weaker and more disconnected from reality.
I am going to reconnect with the sun.
get as far away as possible, good luck on your journey
what are you going to do for a new job? i want to do the same thing as you but i feel like most jobs are the same
please tell more, im kinda in the same boat. stuggling in thinking im being comfortable now with all this money and stuff. but my body keeps saying no
I just don’t know what will pay
I want to walk away too but I just don’t know where to go. Good luck on your journey!

Hey you, kind soul reading this, just know, if you’re experiencing burn out, depression, anxiety or any kind of unpleasant state, just remember, all of us do at some points, right now maybe half of the earth population feels what you feel. You’re not ever alone. Lets help each other more and relax more... it will all get better since nothing stays still (hug) i feel you. Take some time for yourself! Namaste
While I genuinely appreciate the sincerity, more often than not, we are on different frequencies at different levels of understanding using different revisions.
Thank you I needed this today ❤

He probably stoled this quote..just like everything else he had patented
@@MrTreyhoehn With that mentality everything is stolen ;)
@@MrTreyhoehn do u have proof of what u say or u are just a hater .
Except when it’s meaning and truth itself. That’s not really a person though... so yeah. Listen only to people who genuinely want to make you be the best you can by giving you the freedom and truth you need for your highest purpose. Let’s not forget that often times people vote to take away their own freedom and rights... they get boiled away slowly “boiled frog syndrome”. There is no freedom without truth.
Dude all you do is uncreatively copy and paste quotes from others. Why not come up with an original thought/idea instead? Your channel must not really be "thought provoking ideas" if you can't be creative enough to come up with your own while spamming the comment section for subs. Super gross.
"The drama of a dying world has been turned into a soap opera by most people. And they don't understand that it's their story."
If this doesn't describe 2020 I don't know what does.
yeah,we have idiocracy in development:)))
The world has always been dying, we need to stop obsessing over it and instead obsess over what ever ideas and vision that brings joy and happiness to you as an individual, but instead we obsess over these manipulated 'green visions' made to bring our levels of anxiety down, levels that are out of proportion due to non-scientifically ideologies and newsmedia agenda.
@@orion9k Sure, let's just relegate ourselves to a blissful ignorance and leave it to others to worry about. That seems to be working a treat.
Future generations will thank us for being so responsible.
Especially with social media glamorizing everything
@@Powaboxa The only think we should be worrying about is censorship on social media when independent science people are sharing information that goes against mainstream media, you do know what this is an indicator off?

As a child I was always being commended by adults as being the most mature kid they knew simply because I was always taught to follow orders without a question, but I’m 19 now and I’ve come to the realization that people will use you if you don’t question authority. I just wanna know why people have to feel like they have power over one another like why can’t we all work together as the human race? The things we could have accomplished by now would be immaculate, my insides twist just thinking about how much of humanity has been taken advantage of
because they haven't witnessed the truth yet. humans are corrupt without bonds to where they really came from
Humans are greedy no matter what we will always want more of this more of that.
How no comments!?
Brother welcome to the party sadly we need to adapt
We'd have already populated Mars by now. Progress is on the horizon, but you must have faith that you're with the good guys.
This was actually my first Terence lecture I ever heard. And to this day he has played an important role in my life. He's like someone I'm really close with. But have never met.
Exactly
Same
Nicely said. He's not like any psychonaut, philosopher or teacher I've ever met
Very well said
We can relate mate!

the world hasn't changed much since 1990. this was recorded 30 years ago and the topics he's covering are more relevant now than ever
I think it's merely gotten worse. The government is trying harder to indoctrinate people. People also seem to be coming around, just maybe. I dream of a world with no cultures, religions, or countries. When we recognize the earth is everyone's home...We are in a state of infancy right now.
Finding out about even Roman political structures shows little has changed since then, let alone only our lifetimes. Elite will power-grab and backstab then as now.
I wish to free my mind from the cinicism i feel and want to express when i read "now more than ever" comments.
You wanna know something.. the world hasnt changed much since 3000bc.. im talking civilization
Except the sex part. You can bang who, when, and what you want these days
Watching videos like this makes me realise the importance of following your own direction, life should be lived on your terms and enjoyed to its fullest extent.
We always look to others to save us but the only person who can save you is you!
Yup🎉
Not adding stupid music when an important man is speaking is what I expect from videos like this. I love this channel.
it's pretty hard to find anything that doesn't have distracting background music!

Took the words right out my mouth 💋
Finally someone said that!
@@AfterSkool I agree. I find the ad at the end rather trite. Certainly too long.
I was born with autism. As a result of my autism (especially during my elementary and middle school years), I escaped so much of the mental conditioning that was poured upon us over the years. As a result, I developed my own profound and deep insights into existence, the universe, and the true meaning of life. Looking back, I am very thankful and grateful for all of this (despite the other frustrations and challenges that having autism brought me).
Love you, Nicholas
Wish you all the blessings!! 🙏🏽
It’s amazing sometimes what unsuspecting positives can come out of a “negative” situation or aspect of life. Love your outlook
Good comes out of every bad, all the best.
With AdHD...I had the same experience. Being Neurodivergent is awesome🙏❤️
It’s incredible that psychedelic users come to the same conclusions and heed the same messages from the wise mushroom with no pre-knowledge of ideas regarding dissolution of institutions. I had a 6 hour trip that painstakingly dragged me through the motions and essentially taught me what this video so eloquently presented, but on a more visceral experiential level. It still makes me sad how the death train is full speed ahead and will likely take down even the most enlightened of us. Stay safe awakened ones.

@@julianmandes6584 Take it slow. Make sure you’re in a comfortable environment alone or maybe a sitter that knows how to respect the process. I always talk to the mushrooms right before taking them. I say thank you and please show me exactly what I need to see. I take them I lay down with soft music playing. I put on a blind fold relax and surrender. Trust the process do not try to control just let go and enjoy the ride. Good luck on your journey!
@@julianmandes6584 also, start with small or micro doses. Build up to the intensity of experience you desire. Some people prepare properly and are in good head space and environment and then make the mistake of taking a "heroes' dose" or more and the experience is so intense and challenges their current paradigm to such a degree that they develop a fear of the experience. I have some shrooms right now that only take a cap and stem to have a nice experience. Started off as 7 grams of dried mushrooms and I have used them like 5 times since I got them and I still have a dose left. And I am an experienced psychonaut.
Terrence knew how to hit at the heart of a matter so deeply and profoundly that I think everyone should hear his wisdom.
“We empower our experience by insisting on our authenticity” wow that’s deep.

Also, "Bullshit" is a great and woody word.

Hi
TM was out of this plane. His intellectual depth and understanding was incredible. Love watching his talks even though he has departed for a few years now.
I wish someone was pushing this as much as they push ideologies all over youtube
I’ve noticed recently that the people that I look up to and learn the most from now, as opposed to the past, are the ones that basically say “I still don’t know everything, I have a lot to learn, we are all figuring this out.” There is something about being humble yet hungry to keep asking questions that are much better qualities than someone who puts on the mask of knowing everything. We are all here to improve ourselves, while not stopping anyone from being their most authentic self. The wise Ram Dass says “We are all just walking each other home.”
Agreed. Once we really evolve we’ll realize we know nothing. We made it all up 🤣
Love this
This is beautiful
Agree
🙌🏼
I met T Mckenna the year before he died. We sat next to each other on a long, red-eye flight. Already a fan of his work, in all humility, I tentatively started a conversation. He jumped in without hesitation. It turned into a marathon all-night alcohol-fuelled idea orgy as we hurtled through the darkness. Absolutely fantastic, fun and unforgettable. We both lived in Hawaii at the time and he invited me to visit him and his partner when we all returned to the island. I so wanted to, but sensed he was completely exhausted and running on fumes, and felt it was more important to give him space to finish the book he was working on at the time. I don't think he knew yet that he had a brain tumour, and when I heard months later, my heart fell. I knew the odds, and felt the bitterness you experience when the very people we need are taken too early. I'm so grateful to see him live on, disembodied, online. I suspect he would like it. The dissemination of radical ideas like his, the anti-Zuckerberg, the anti-Thiel, the anti-Bezos, the anti-1%, are I hope, utterly unstoppable. Rest in ecstasy Terrence M!
Carey, yours is my favorite YT comment of all time!
It’s a beautiful comment. ✨♥️✨
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE THAT WOULD BE. Of persons I would like to have a long conversation with, Terrence McKenna is one of my top five.
Terrence McKenna was an incredible visionary! He sure hit the nail on the head with this speech. The world is waking up on so many levels! Thank you! 🙏👏
Thank you for this. These are videos I play while my son is in the car with me I don't explain much, he absorbs what he can. Watching his little mind expand and the question that come out of him is one of the most gratifying experiences I know. Thank you for content and blessing this matrix with useful information 🤝🏾.
You are skeptical until you take a shroom yourself. Forever lost trying to find yourself when the answer is right there. You will see your true self with no blinders in the way. Once your ego is back, you have a choice to make. Keep living the way you know isn't right, a laid out plan for you to work until at least half your life is gone, or experience life. Love, create, learn, and share. An endless amount of knowledge and caring with no labels. We hinder our own species by suppressing our conciousness.

wow, i really love this message! thank you!
Yes, that's the lesson from some of the psychedelics...that the answer was and has always been inside you. Thank you for your eloquent and powerful words.
When i was little i used to think magic mushrooms were super dodgy. Like in a "hey wanna buy shroomsssss kiddd" kind of way. But now that i'm older, they are probably one of my favourite things to pick, eat, and study.. And they've really helped me look at the world through a clearer lense.
Totally agree, my friend is a legit psychopath and it made me realize that some people are just pure evil because they feel there life is more important and superior to others. Crazy fucken world we live in. When I’m living my best life people are always going to talk down
When I first started exploring psychedelics I would feel almost “bad” for taking them even though I was using them safely and to heal. It was other people’s opinions that I was holding onto. Psilocybin helped me let go of those thoughts that weren’t mine. And helped me help myself without the use of any substances or escapisms.
thank you for sharing
I don’t want to make you feel bad or anything, but when you say “without the use of of any substances or escapisms”... I mean, in your own words isn’t that what psilocybin WAS for you?
Samantha Jeffrey Same, and they helped me and still do
@@stephenbalaban3891 No. not at all. For me personally there’s no “escape” taking shrooms. It forces you to face all the things that you’ve been trying to escape from. I could however see how lsd would be somewhat of an escapism but holy hell shroom trips are like ten years of therapy packed into a few hours. I come out feeling stronger and ready to face the world. Substances like opioids only made me retreat and numb everything. That to me is a real escape. It again there’s nothing wrong with escaping the world every once in a while. Everything is balance.
@@flowersinmyhair55 bingo!
This is something i watch once a month for the last 2 years. Realligns my position to the world
I have given this EXACT lecture FOR YEARS before ever discovering Terence McKenna. Which I think speaks to the truth of reality. Truth is SINGULAR and available for anyone and everyone to unlock.
This dude was SO wise.
Is no one going to talk about the evolution of After Skool’s art. This was so elaborate!

Yasssssss😛😛😛
This is a sad realization of how people have been programmed to accept their lot in life such as to forgo their creativity, uniqueness, and passions for others to exploit. You are used as a pawn to benefit the greedy.
That's only if you see it through the victim lens. We are autonomous and we give our autonomy away to gain something. If you can heal this attachment wound in yourself and help others heal it too, we'll have change.
If there's something you don't accept in the "greedy people", there's something you don't accept in yourself. Rejecting the drama triangle of persecutor-victim-savior and embracing full responsibility and ownership of your life is the way to autonomous life.

Everybody in the comments just now coming into reality and realizing they are people who might have the ability to think for themselves is truly beautiful 🤟🏻
It is. Glad to see the number of people like this are growing despite the authoritarian overthrow. I feel its a spiritual necessity at this point to keep our consciousness out of the control of others
The question is, what are they gonna do with that ability
@@NecTor98 Try to get rich. Most of them are probably gonna try to get healthier, starting with food. Others might try to become intellectual polymaths. But the best of them are gonna work on their own psyche and maybe even raise a family.

Terrence McKenna is definitely one of my all time favorite storytellers and speakers. Love it 🥰
Terrence McKenna was really ahead of his time.
he was ahead of his race; an elder amoung children and toddlers
Maybe because of his psychedelic experience!
Ahead of “his time” ? How can you be ahead of something that is at each moment? As if the things he is saying would be some kind of new age thinking . Most modern people can’t even think this way .
Maybe just in time to save the younger generations from an endless loop of pointless service that really doesn't benefit anyone but the rich.
Yeah, because Terrence McKenna was on Shrooms bro lol
people ALWAYS told me I wasn't good enough, but despite what they said I kept believing in myself. They planted doubt within me, but it wasn't WHO I was. To everyone: please believe in your greatness! ❤️✅😊
THANK YOU FOR SPREADING THIS MESSAGE THAT IS NEEDED
I kind of feel like that with my brother, mother, and bio father. It's not that they doubt me but their problems do affect and speak through me. We may be family but I need to move from them and they need to carry their own cross like I have. When you work on yourself, you start to see weeds around you and fruit in you.
There problems and doubt speaking through and projected onto me
You are good. And i love you. ❤️

I greatly appreciate these videos. These voices are being buried in our current culture and these ideas are central to a truly healthy way of being
Not just our culture and not just currently. True mental freedom has always been suppressed since the beginning everywhere.
and one day big tech will censor everything that goes against their agenda and content like this will be no where to be found online
This was recorded during the year and month that I was born. I love Terence like a brother and best friend.
This is one of his best, short speeches, that everybody needs to hear.
It's literally impossible for authority to exist because no one can ever own you but you. There are some psychopaths that would prefer you never knew that, however.
You speak truth.
Ghoul Hunter I agree that animal agriculture is wrong. It is horrible to think how humans in “civilized” societies can just go and buy a dead piece of animal to cook for their family. But eating meat is a part of human nature. I’ve been vegan for a long time but it was not fulfilling for me. I began to feel like shit when I was vegan. I respect people that are vegan but it is not practical for everyone. It’s ludicrous for someone to say a certain diet is the only way for everyone to eat. Humans have been hunting since the beginning of time. It is very easy for modern humans to be able to be vegan because we can go to the store and buy all the vegan foods we want. But it is not practical. Modern farming techniques are just as bad as modern animal agriculture. Mass farming is a heavy pollutant with all of the fertilizers that are used to produce the fruits and veggies. Let alone the amount of animals that are killed and chased out of their territory to create farmland. If we didn’t have these bullshit societies, all remaining humans would all be hunting and eating meat. Just because we have been taught by society that death is a bad and horrible thing doesn’t mean that it is true. Death is a part of life and should be treated with respect, not just ignored and try to get rid of it. I agree that killing mass amounts of animals is wrong but only because it is done for profit. If humans have the guts to go and kill another animal and skin it by themselves I do not see a problem with that. As long as the animal that has been sacrificed is fully being used and not wasted. But most of the people nowadays do not have the guts to go and kill an animal and skin it by themselves because they have never been in a situation where their hunger has driven them to that point because they can just go to the store and buy it. I’ve read about the benefits of being vegan but it did not work for me. Everyone’s body and dna is different and reacts to the food we ingest differently. There is no one diet that will work for everyone and it is a personal adventure to go out and see what diet works best for them. My little cousin was born with seizures and was placed on a all natural keto diet (mainly elk) and the seizures went away. I think the biggest problem is that the animal agriculture is pumping these animals with fake hormones and people are ingesting these half fake meats like it is real meat and wonder why they have so many health problems.
Authority doesn't "own" anyone... Authority tells you that you can't kill another person, it says you can't rape someone just because you "feel" moved to do so. We need those rules to be able to live our lives. Without authority, anyone is free to steal your property, rape you, and then beat you to death on a whim. You can't have anarchy nor can there be government overreach and still have a free society. There has to be a balance.
Oddyssey that is not a argument. Freedom is freedom. If you don’t want to be harmed you need to be able to protect yourself. It’s foolish to rely on a form of government to “save” you from things that you deem as bad. Good cannot exist without evil and evil cannot exist without good.
I was gonna say something to like that after reading your name (i do this sorta thing all the time)lol, but then u said it haha.

I truly hope everyone has at least one person that can send them these messages . Life is so beautiful and we were not out here to work 40 hours for someone else just to survive .
Years from now this video will have changed a lot of those who finally see that life is so precious and everything that lives in this universe depends on helping those who need it the most. Destroying things will have consequences. Infinite caring for all will set one free, and positivity is much harder than negativity in thinking(try it if you can). Practice makes you better in everything you do.
The most important person you need to have a foundation of trust with in life is yourself.
How to trust myself when I cant control my own mind, emotion and action. we even lie to ourself more than to others. How can i believe in myself when I am weak inside.

You are so right! I had LSD and came to the same conclusions.
I also realise more now than ever that money is evil's purest form!
you dont exist as you think, and even in the character that you are playing that you call and indentify with by "your name" dosnt own the emotions.. its just a script that you developed "if this happens, i should react like this" you are not that name, nor those emotions nor the feelings.. emotions and feelings are imaginary things, just like most of the bullshit society brings you to. its a culturally reinforced hallicination bro.
Money isn’t the root of all evil. The first deadly sin, Pride, is.
DMT was very clear about this. Pride is the enemy. Kill it and everything about it within you
Everything he was explaining 25 - 30 years ago is what has happened to the world. When he said if we do not stand up and howl, reject authority it will be to late. Well we are living in the what he predicted because we’ve allowed the control to persist. Being awake and being woke are two completely different things...

Thank you ❤️ This is a message from the Universe because I was thinking exactly about this.
Everything is namarupa name and form think of one thing you don’t know a word for. The world doesn’t look like it looks for us only because we have a particular color spectrum to perceive the world seems to look like this.

This seems to be really pretentious and superficial if taken literally. Either that or he means something else. If something can not be rationalized it is wrong.

Sit with yourself for one hour in a quiet room. Don’t have any outside stimulations. No book, phone... nothing.

observe your thoughts or your environment?
@@nimatonthebeat just whatever your mind tells you to. at least thats what i do. let the subconscious guide you
@@nimatonthebeat Everything :) Notice how your body feels. Is there nervous energy there?.. Notice if you feel uncomfortable or agitated or bored. Notice how busy your mind is. You are the watcher of the mind.. notice this. Be with the air, the room, the space. Notice how it feels to just exist. Nothing more. It will most likely feel uncomfortable to do this at first.. you will probably feel bored or something similar. Try to move through that barrier until you are finally on the other side. My words can't accurately describe what I mean but.. your aim is to get past your resistance and comfortably into the place of observation and peace. If your energetic desire to know the truth is within you, you will get there :) xxxxxxx
yes yes yes. though I'd suggest a month to start... the Holy Grail was hidden in Silent Solitude!
I'm so glad to see this. It is exactly what I have felt my entire life, and I am happy to be someone who will always trust myself more than bullshit authority. Rubbish, indeed! This was very validating.

Left or right it is all just a puppet show
@@balkanblackpillvideosandmo8456 Exactly. Sit back and enjoy the circus ;)
by us he actually meant the chill ass people watching this video
Right animals know how to live and so do we
rip to my parents who believe everything the news says... thanks for all the knowledge that you've shared with me but im glad im wise enough to not believe everything that comes out of the tv
I felt that one!!
don’t believe you can’t change their perspective
You kind of can't it only leads to stress and they forget about in an instant

Fucked up how millions of us found out our beloved relatives are fucking idiots over the last 4 years
I am watching this video everyday since last week. Will watch it till end of month.
I will watch this video until garbage in my head is removed.
Great words from a great man. Just found this channel today, the artwork is fantastic 🙏🍄
"If you want a teacher, try a waterfall... or a mushroom, or a mountain wilderness, or a storm-pounded seashore."
could you explain this meaning to me?
@@teddy5236 what I’ve gained from it is that all of these things he talks about just go with the flow of life. They do not resist, they are just doing their thing without a care for anything outside of what they are working for.
Ted if we want to empower ourselves as human being we must get back to the our fundamental roots. We are made of this earth, therefore nature is within us. Everything is connected, we are apart of this earth this earth is apart of us. Spending time in nature cleanses the mind and soul.
This was the stupidest part of the speech. Thank you for pointing it out. Rubbish disguised as something deep.
There's a lot of emphasis on our society in establishing nature as wild, something untamed, dangerous even. But I really do think that rhetoric is simply a way of disconnecting us from ourselves and making us feel content living removed from nature. I love the quote because it is a reminder that we are the water, the wilderness, and the seashore. When we go out in nature we go home, not somewhere wild, not somewhere dangerous. I think experiencing the ease and beauty of this planet reminds us why we came here, and that is to experience all that life has to offer. The flow of nature makes us look inward for that flow in ourselves and sends us on an effortless journey back to oneness with all.

@Ghoul Hunter ....why not make the video yourself?...
😂😂😂
lmfao
hahaha
The best ten minutes of Terence McKenna ever ❤️
Thank you for this amazing collaboration ❤️
You did something, it was meaningful. You brought McKenna’s and your art into the most flowable, following and yet comfortable place to be when it comes to the world and the state it’s in. Talented man
Love and Light to everyone who reads this! :)
Amen brother YHWH
Love and light to you as well 💛💛💛💫
Thx
And to you too, Love and Light
Whooaa. Masterpiece-level shit. This animation is the best way to honor Terence and re-animate his soul, simultaneously. Not that his soul ever went anywhere...
Thank you Terrence, for helping me make an important choice tomorrow🙏 RIP🌹
I loved this, I love After Skool. Thank you for all you provide your viewers. Always inspiring! ♥
Whoever is reading this now, remember:
You can achieve anything you can imagine. You are the light, that radiates love and compassion!
Feel the abundance in your heart and be sure that you are not alone on this journey!
Feel the power within and be the creator of your own reality!
Blessings to all beings!

Wow nice :D !!! THX! Same for You!
@@laszloiso777 ❤️✨
Thank you! But how? I wish I just knew how to achieve anything 🙄
@@denydeni144 by taking actions, believing that it will happen and trusting the process 🙏❤️
@@healingmelody112 Thank you 😊 💙
Found this on Halloween after being on 10 dried grams. Anytime I take a alot of shrooms, towards the end I always listen to Terrance because no matter what he always gives me new ideas. I also started using the word rubbish at work the next day all day
That is hilarious 😀. I'm going to try that. "Rubbish", all day long. I'm about to do 5 grams right now!!
I just discovered this chanel and I love it. 🙌🌈🌟🎶💖 it makes more sense when you finally awake.🌟😌🌟
This becomes more relevant with every passing day. This is vital for our children to grasp if they are to have any chance at a peaceful existence.
This has to be the most inspirational, motivational, humanitarian, visionarian & philosophical video you guys have put out thus far. May peace & luv always be with you guys...
I know , this was my favorite of his, I often have trouble getting into his stuff, thx btw. Also I'm the rain man dog , and yes I too
"am a excellent driver"
Lmao
throwing lot of labels around, huh?
It took 7 years for the first TH-cam upload of this speech to reach 1.5M views (look up 'Mckenna - Trust Yourself'). After Skool's video reached the 500K mark in less than 4 months(!) which is not only wonderful to see but it also reminds me of Terence's idea that we are, with ever-increasing speed, nearing some sort of 'Attractor' or Omega point beyond which we will witness unprecedented societal changes.
I love this place
Scary thought that we are in the midst of this right now!
Novelty theory :)
Circumstances have motivated more people to search for meaningful answers / alternative explanations for what they are seeing / experiencing?
Its as simple as afterskool having a bigger audience than whoever was promoting the other.
If this was put on some other very popular channel it could get a million views in a day.
But views arent really that important considering that more than half the viewers aren't paying attention, but instead simply seeking another distraction.
IF it was just 100,000 viewers but people who were truly paying attention, that could really mean something.
Awesome ! Ever grateful for the wisdom and intelligent articulation of Terence Mckenna. God bless you Terence.
The art on this channel is always a delight. 🙏
This message is needed to hear now more than ever! Acquiescing to control with no question is a dangerous thing, I do say I’m noticing more people are waking up and I’m doing my duty to help that process as well!
It's not enough to "wake up". In my opinion, there is one thing that is way more important.
We have to stop suppressing our children. That'S the root of the whole mess. We suppress them in your age and therefore teach them to accept our authority and authority in general.
So they are already suppressed before theyr real-life even starts.
@@mcgeufer I definitely agree! That’s the main reason the media and school system tries to get us at a young age, we’ve gotta protect the minds that have yet to be indoctrinated!🙏
@Blue AMEN
this is what calms my anxiety, thank you
They tell us we need pills to heal.. laughable
same :)
You calm my anxiety
Same
Thank you for these beautiful illustrations. The colour and the comicness of them I adore. Makes my inner child happy. I had my time with psychedelics... And I am grateful but have stepped back and prefer conscious experiences, as well as yoga and meditation.
Thank you, Terence. RIP. You are missed!!! Love this channel!!!
I've been rejecting authority since i can remember
I realized I was very REBELLIOUS at a early age but not in a ugly way but a curious way
That's not the answer cro. You dont have to like them but you need them to like you, they have the connections. Without connects you wont get anywhere.
Rebelling on the basis of morality is different than rebelling for its own sake. Don't fall prey to oversimplified generalizations!
I think that’s why they were giving me amphetamines when I turned 8 until I was 16 .when I realized what I was taking everyday.i think that was the first cracking twig for me.
@@venomtang they dont know how to like
I really like how you always use Sauron as an analogy for the system we currently live under, since he actually controlled the minds of his servants who served him out of fear instead of free will, poisoning the earth with his malice and his ambition to conquer everything and all free people.
Love this channel and its strong messages of truth and wisdom.
Thank you!
Trusting your own intuition is more relevant in 21 than ever.
Finally someone talks about the dignity of the individual. Let NOTHING but your own knowledge and experience guide you
The artwork in this video was absolutely delightful. Congrats to After Skool for the video!
Really enjoyed your work. Thank you for this visual representation.
magnificent speech by the legendary teacher Terence ... much love for his great soul ❤

Arco minimalist constitutional libertarian
Socialism (aka collectivism ) is a disease of the Mind for weak, throw away genetic trash
INFJ = TRUE
@10:28 look at my avatar
--> masculine energy is order
--> feminine energy is chaos
D feminize your mind return to the masculine return Society to order... Return your mind to order... Collectivism is feminine because it is based and dependent on your mind being in a state of chaos fix yourself soy soaked beta sheeple
This video is one of the Best of the Channel no doubt!
@@rideordietheyretring2tranx382 "Arco minimalist constitutional libertarian" LMFAO!!!
Sounds no more desirable to me than socialism. Its all about who is writing the constitution and who is enforcing it. Has nothing to do with your fake political gibberish.
Your constitutions can and did make slavery legal... Even before your communism and socialism boogey man ever existed. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had my red pill experience and now I can't look back.
I was trying to share my red pill with a friend. He asked if I was trying to get him to vote republican.
I immediately knew he still needed that blue pill. Back to sleep for you my friend.
I will try again down the road, maybe the collapse of society will open his eyes.
@@kirkw35 it's awesome that you have made plans to follow up in a month, they will appreciate that I'm sure when they awaken a bit more.
What exactly about this speech to you advocates “the red pill”? Reject authority, all authority and realize we are all one. This is a left wing notion, I’m just telling you the truth. The problem with left wing societies in the 20th century was also authority, they simply didn’t follow up on the anti authoritarianism of leftist values. I believe we need to reinvent the wheel in terms of leftism, sure, but the right is defined by authoritarianism and control. Read up on it if you like
@@ryanblakey1695 We are exactly where we are today because your cult has brainwashed you to think that only the “right wing” is authoritarian when in fact
Left wing = collectivism = authoritarian
Right wing = individualist = libertarian
In the United States we have a faux 2 party system to give you the illusion of choice, you have no real choice. Your choice is coke or Pepsi. They are both the same poison with a slight change in flavor.
The Nazis were a hard left socialist organization. Communism and fascism are branches on the same tree.
This bullshit revisionist history the left pushes now, is the craziest thing I have ever seen.
If you can’t understand this, take the blue pill and just go back to sleep!
@@kirkw35 well said. I agree wholeheartedly
And we are all here watching this on TH-cam. The irony never escapes me when listening to terrence
Wow!
My last 20 yrs. This is my story! Only I can never put it quite like this beautiful illustration.
I was always a visual learner and this was awesome.
Really if I could draw, if I could write, this would be my path. My pathless road.
Thank you thank you for helping me with the final work in putting together my experiential life on the road OBSERVING. Everything.
I found wholeness , incredible freedom, and most importantly I found myself. What I found?
I'm just an ordinary human being nothing more nothing less!
I have nothing, but I have everything!
Thanks for the presentation

This is the Truth. The words he is speaking are pure gold, pure truth.
But he just said nobody knows anything, so how can his words be true?
@@Quinny.K exactly he’s saying his thought on trusting authority he doesn’t know anything more the we can know
@TF Comps i agree with him on this point. where i disagree with him is that he seems to think that without any institutions humanity will no longer have conflict or something. this is obviously wrong.
Thank you for sharing McKenna”s vital message enhanced with this animation of soulful imagery! Committing the Crimes of Galileo in challenging dogma and tradition especially in science and medicine is the path to the essence of life here and beyond!
The art work on this channel is always amazing
Terence did an amazing job radicallizing the individual and guiding us to the deep end of the transcendent experience. But he never offered any integration back into society. He never encouraged people to take responsibility for their own lives, families and communities. He never admitted that we should do our best to value the positive aspects of modern society! Maybe that wasn't his mission, but today I understand how radical he really was.
