1 million views.. thanks so much for watching guys! all it took was 15 months, endless promotion, and launching a fake story about Jim Carrey playing Terence... anyway, to celebrate, I'm streaming a special version of the movie in about an hour on my youtube channel. see you there! - Peter Bergmann
We Plants Are Happy Plants alright. ill accept i was tricked and watxh it regsrdless. but is the film actual footage from his trip? or am i just supposed to listen?
This video should help people, particularly those "unfamiliar" with these chemicals, understand why the term "psychedelic" and "hallucinogenic" should concede the right-of-way to a far more appropriate term, "enthiogenic."
The therapeutic benefits of psilocybin mushrooms completely changed my recovery journey, and other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also played a key role in my healing and personal transformation.
What I love about Terrence is the more you delve into psychedelics you realize how absolutely crazy he seems and how absolutely sane he sounds at the same time... Our existence is so magical
@@5-iwnl-596 This. You nailed the feeling. Idk if there's a higher power out there or not but we are more than just our physical form. Its just a vehicle for our trip through whatever this existence is.
The way I look at it, all the moments in normal society where I feel this urge to push past boundaries and chose not to is exacly where he chose to push it, it’s always there in the moment you just can’t rush it or hesitate it
Psychedelics was mind blowing for me. I found myself in a world where swirling colors created a mesmerizing kaleidoscope. Time stretched as I explored cosmic landscapes, feeling a profound connection to everything. It left me with a deep sense of peace and wonder, realizing the limitless potential of the mind.
One dose of magic mushroom ruined my life. I was already depressed so i wanted to change that with a trip into space. Cannabis however did rescue me one time
About 3/4 of the way through a 5 gram trip, I had a vision of Terence dressed as a hippie, reclining on a cloud in the sky with many other bright and happy beings, applauding me for how well I had handled my trip. I felt honored.
I did my first high dose mushroom trip at age 16. Did not know what to expect... i was addicted to drugs my whole life from age 13 on. I used psychedelics for a long period of time on a regular basis. Now i'm 33 quit abusing any kind of drug for some years now. I just grew out of it, but one thing i will continue all my life and that is mushrooms. My friends allways used it for fun, for me it has always been different... I take high doses alone every now and then, at least two times a year and i think it helps me to be a better person... Completely useless comment under a youtube video:) But i want to say to all the Psychonauts out there, see you on the other side🙌😅 Peace and Love from a small Village in Germany💗🤙
I tripped heavily whilst walking around a huge city on a working Monday. I saw everything differently. I saw how we aggressively keep ourselves in this working and depressing society. I asked myself why don’t we just stop this shit if nobody wants to be doing this. It was so obvious yet so hidden. It made me so sad 😞 I knew psychedelics would show me this but it was sooooo different when I actually experienced it. I can never un-see the truth now🌏 I am still shocked today about what I saw. I hope everyone stays safe out there and don’t take everything too seriously because you literally don’t have too 😇❤️🌈
Hey, im not trying to come of as rude, but if you dont take everything too seriously, wouldnt that apply to your trip aswell perhaps? Could you help me understand the difference, if there is?
thanks for sharing your experience. it seems to have been painful. i am glad you are on the other end of it well enough to feel comfortable sharing. i believe the insights you gained from the experience, although unpleasant, will lead to a more fulfilling life, for you have experience reality on a different level. Your perspective is important! thanks for sharing ❤️
@@denlolify I’m not trying to be rude either but the bottom line is, you’re gonna die someday. It could be today or it could be any day. That’s why you can’t take life to seriously. If you’re not happy all you can do is figure out why and do your best to change it. Remember material things only bring happiness for a short time so never think if I had this or that I would be happy. This includes money and people. You have to find it in yourself. I’m working on it too. It’s not easy but the worst thing that can happen to you is reaching your death and realizing you haven’t lived.
@@denlolify Psilocybin can change you perspective and make you see things for exactly what they are. How serious you take that may depend on what you see.
@@thelastrebelshow1627 hey, yeah this is what I've heard aswell, but it's interesting why you would take the trip and what the trip showed you so serious, yet decide to not take all the other things so serious. Like great you figure out alot of people don't like working, would prefer to do something else. But how else would you function as a society. And yes I agree materialism doesn't bring happiness, you yourself do, but there are plenty of people that are happy enough being materialistic their whole life. What does it matter if inner and outer happiness both work?
It’s crazy to listen to this once a year or so just so you can see how your perception changes over time and how you understand things differently as time goes on
That's exactly what happens to everyone when they are on the right track. This only happens once and only to each individual his or her own. It's so strange
When I listen to Terence McKenna I don't think of his ideas or theories as right or wrong, I listen to him in order to explore and expand my mind and my consciousness, no one does this better than Terence McKenna.
What an amazing human being. The guy has huge brains, huge balls, and a heart of gold. He really had a questing spirit, and he wasn't afraid to court the beautiful, profound, and the terrifying. He ran the edges of human consciousness and then pulled those edges towards the center. so he could shine a light on them. I never get sick of listening to him.
Can't believe your comment didn't have a like. I understand what you meant about running a long the edges and pulling them towards the center. I've been there. I've seen. Sending you lots of love.
I am so humbled by this movie. I miss this man as if he were a family member. You have done the world, and my self, a great service by creating this work of art. I appreciate this so much i cannot put it into words. Thank you, my friend.
One thing that I really appreciate about Terrence, is (or was) his humility, and not taking himself too seriously. Obviously he recognized that he had a lot to offer philosophically, but he truly internalized basic spiritual principles that exist naturally once you put your ego in it’s proper context.
There are times when Mr. McKenna's words hit so close to home that I become overwhelmed. Sometimes, just listening to his voice puts leads my consciousness into liminal spaces.
holy bardic hyper lullaby, not toward slumber but hypnogogia. equal to the words themselves is his cadence. the music. ambassador of The Voice. playful teacher. terrance recordings are portal-absorbants.
Bobby J S-Abilo .....i find it amazing how one human being can gain Goodness simply by listening to another human being.............its as if something is telling us the human race "come together! You ALL WHEN TOGETHER ARE POWERFUL! You all together are GOD!" TOGETHERNESS. LOVE.
watched the whole thing yesterday night while tripping on 4.5 Gs of amazonian cubensis. Simply amazing, and magical. Terence Mckenna, truly a psychedelic preacher, teacher and revolutionary. R.I.P Terence. You left us with some valuable knowledge and insight to things beyond average human perception.
Thoughtfully speechless as I watch this. Terence is still as impressive and mind blowing to me as he was in 1997 as a junior in high school. Still have my copy of True Hallucinations I poured over back then. A few short years later, I was exploring his timewave zero page on the web...the days of AOL still....and his email was listed, which I, of course, used. I have never been so surprised as I was the day I got a response to my email from Terence! I ended up communicating with him a couple times, just as a fan, and a seeker of knowledge and understanding of this strange existence. I wish I still had them, but starting over in life is something I have had to endure too many times to have held on to much....somehow, not really sure how it's even possible, considering my last 25 years, but I'll always be grateful for him and the way he's spurred my imagination and creativity. Sending love to all ya out there who found themselves here, right now.
I'm quite the McKenna fan, and had fallen under the erroneous perception that I already understood his wrap, courted and curtsied his wildest ideas, and essentially exhausted the entire Terence experience. How wrong I was. This beautifully crafted documentary has allowed Terence McKenna to make of my imagination yet again a blushing naive maiden.
I stumbled on Terence at 12 years old listening to The Shamen, and was scared and intrigued and curious. I had no idea that was when I “plugged in” to a journey I am still on. He inspires my curiosity and brings magic to the world. Thank you for sharing this. Much love!
@@kajeeg.f.8415 I apologize for my typo, my keyboard and corners of my phones are completely cracked. I can't exactly see parts of the screen as well, so I wasn't able to see the typo til now.
1:37:55 - "If the writer can predict the end of the book, so can the reader." Man that got me! that is a mentality to look at your own writing. I'm so happy that I came across this documentary. Amazing!
There is no such a phenomena as predicting end of a book. You write a story and it loves by itself, you don't know. Or you think about the end first and then build a story to it.
This is awesome, thanks a lot for uploading it! thanks also for putting all of this data together into one accessible place (if u are the one who did).
Thoroughly enjoyed all of it! The talks, visuals, music... Truly a masterpiece! It even stirred me at certain moments; listening toTerence's thoughts whilst observing the art... Bravo! Ur efforts are much appreciated and well recognized. Also , to see that you have ur own spotify page really struck me. Specifically realizing that Terence his work is continguingly being shared, loved, and is leaving its mark in itself did something to me. So keep it up man,, loving many tracks. Especially the way of the wizard (around 1:00:00). Lovely! I think many people will know what to listen within their next adventures now;-). Grtz
Really enjoyed it thanks for making this, I love Terence and Alan they both were amazing human beings. I have seen a lot of Terence but there was quite a lot in this video I hadn't seen or heard. Nice one
Listening to Terence never fails to make me smile, the way he leaves things completely open for introspection is beautiful. He had such a kind and loving soul, i feel nurtured and replenished from just hearing his stories and experiences. His comprehension and articulation of these moments never ceases to amaze me... Humanity needs to wake up before it’s too late
@@jackb6925 it’s too late, humanity is doomed to a harsh apocalyptic end, those that got a glimpse of the truth died trying to preach it to the rest of us… That’s what I’m saying..

A Human Being is one who is actually Totally Free of fear, anxiety, suffering, confusion, alienation, addictions, envy, greed, jealousy, pride, anger, hatred, violence, bias, and prejudice.
Totally Free of beliefs, philosophies, ideologies, theories, opinions, perspectives, biases, prejudices, nationality, and identifications, which limit, color, shape & distort Perception, and therefore, prevent Lucidity. Totally Free of the I, the me, the self, the observer, the chooser, the experiencer, the interpreter, and the so-called True or Higher Self, which is the invention of the past conditioning of the brain, which acts like an inner tyrant who tells you what to think, how to feel, and what to do. A Human Being is one who actually treats everyone, without exception, with the same intensity and quality of care and affection that they would give their dearest closest friend, lover, or child, without any sense of division, separation or distance in daily life, once and for all, now forever. A Human Being is actually Living Love, Peace, Joy, Truth, Creativity, Compassion (Passion for All). A Human Being is actually Communicating, Communing, Connecting with everyone and everything in each and every moment of daily life.
To be Human does not take time. It is not of time. It is not the result of time or the things of time. It is not the result of any method, ritual, or diet. It is not the result of any chemical. It is not the result of any process. There is no path to it. It happens effortlessly and choicelessly...faster than the speed of light. Moreover, it is once and for all, now and forever.
Entheogens are medicinal substances and can be helpful for some in the very beginning if used wisely. However, they are incapable of giving birth to Total Enlightenment. Millions of people have used entheogens over and over again, but how many are Totally Enlightened? Chemicals are limited and the limited is incapable of ever giving birth to Infinity. The material is incapable of ever giving birth to Spirit, Soul, Heart.
@Do you Think bro? How, darks is a completely human concept. Without having anything be bad you would have no empathy for other humans. Good and bad dont exist outside of humans its simply part of our instincts. I seriosly doubt yoy could live your life completely seperated from bad and only see good.
McKenna wasn't ahead of his time, he just knows. There's been a lot of people throughout history including right now who feel the same. I relate to exactly everything Terence says, It's easy to know. Sit in nature by your self with mushrooms and you will know. Just listen.
Yup. Ive seen people who are into popping pills or drinking alot that mushrooms are bad for you they have no actual reason other than they being a "psychedelic" meaning it affects your mind so they speak out of fear and ignorance lol.
Wow, what can I say? I'm in tears.. Incredible work on this real masterpiece of a documentary. Certainly no easy feat.. I can only imagine the level of time and energy put into this project and I commend you for your efforts. Very powerful message indeed. So much heart and soul. My mind is made up, and you're being followed!
This is so incredible. If, for some reason, someone doesn't think they have time to watch the whole thing, AT LEAST stream the audio in your car or listen with headphones. It's just as good via pure audio. One of the best things I've ever watched. Period. Blessings to Terrence, Dennis, and everyone involved!
2nd mushroom experience after countless lsd trips, close to 15g of golden teachers in silence and total darkness. Thank you Terence, THANK YOU !!!!! I have never been so sure about myself and life then from this day. My fears and my mental fog are now gone.
@@chasegimbel1904 I took 4gs last month lemon tek and it got scary towards the end. The visuals were so intense SO SO INTENSE insanely trippy but then it got scary. I thought I had brain damage lol. I called up my sister to ground me. Ooofff what an experience. Ego death is painful and rewarding. Cheers!
terence , a beautiful man. i wish he was still around.. but i know he's is still around , in spirit. i bet he is having a good time exploring the spiritual realms.
@@randyortonsbulge We can still talk to these people through dreams and such. The spirit of the creator is what makes us who we are and the creator has an infinite log of everyone who has ever lived. Terrance knew that shrooms were a door to interacting with the universe aka the creator force. Thats why most of us learn great things when we take shrooms. I am always protected any time I interact with an unseen force or "entity" during any kind of trip. We were all put here for a purpose, and Terrance's purpose was to spread us this knowledge. I even posted a comment here. You can look for it. Cheers.
I encountered him, as a homeless man by an old trainstation in a vivid dream. It was very much less grandiose compared to this documentary. And the message I derive from it is a sense of loss, and visions of a lost golden age...
+Joni E Ive had 4.5 dried grams, I did it because Bill Hicks did it and said Terrence McKenna called it a 'heroic dose' lol. I saw gnomes Im not lying, and i saw every angle and every dimension in my physicality mathematically calculated and explained to me in sharp blue neon lines and equations lol. the gnomes were in the carpet bobbles holding hands and singing at me. Its nice but I really like the deeper trips.
Listening to Terence makes me feel closer to myself but at the same time I feel so distant to everyone I know, I don't know what's going on with me, all I can say is that when the path of the seeker of knowledge is chosen there might be no turning back to the normal world. To the editor of the video and owner/owners of this channel I must say THANK YOU VERY MUCH, this video almost made me cry, I have never seen such magic such powerful combination of soundtrack and video plus Terence voice it's something amazing it's resounding. Thank you very much guys and keep them coming please!
I’m INCREDIBLY surprised at how close I was to bursting into tears. I’m trying to get over the fear of psychedelics, that I built up from a few bad trips, psyching myself out, and events happening in real life.
My FAVORITE Terence talks are, "The Ethnobotany of Shamanism," (on You Tube or 8 cassette tapes), and, "Mind and Time, Spirit and Matter." Check them out!
Terence McKenna is the most eloquent speaker I have been fortunate enough to encounter. Despite how much I love this content, I believe thinking too deeply about topics that have no answers, as Terence says; «nobody knows», is the best one way ticket to feeling socially alienated from friends and family. Everyday practicality fluds the cortex of most people, and deep thinking (which i believe psychedelic experiences to be) breaks the dam. Thread carefully friends, knowledge is wonderful and dangerous at the same time. Take it easy, but, take it. (Edited a spelling mistake, not my native language)
@Manchester United the thing is he is constantly contradicting himself and issuing his focus lists to draw people in when in reality many of his words are meaningless and empty. I’m a much bigger fan of his brother.
Blyden I think less than total alienation, since the Green Wave of Cannabis is breaking through old taboos, around the world. Look at Portugal, with the legalization of ALL drugs, and they're still afloat. Magic Mushrooms is legal in Denver, Colorado, and Oregon, I believe. These plants sell themselves, because they open us up to the kind of joyous mindset we lived in as children -- open, and free. But they COULD also be used, consciously, in a totally different way--as spiritual sacraments, when paired with spiritual practices, like meditation, dream work, and the like. THAT would be boundary dissolving and revolutionary, helping us to see what is possible in the UN-stoned state. These substances COULD help us to become AWARE OF the psychological chains that certain poisonous cultural beliefs and ways have locked us into. For instance--racism would disappear, once all people realize they are literally spirit-beings, basically independent of our mortal coils. We can have these experiences while STRAIGHT as well. Imagine THAT.
The visuals in this production are incredible! Better than any I've watched and also a close representation to what I've personally have experienced. Well done!
This documentary was truly the best I've seen in 2017. Thank you very much for putting this "out there" to see. It has made a very positive impact on my life at this moment.
I'm sorry, I've been looking for a psychedelic experience since I was 19, I am now 35. All and I mean every single one of my friends who happen to be white have had some sort of experience with shrooms, or lsd, or dmt, or mescaline. I was always met them after the fact because these are things you do not need to do often (apparently). And no one knows where to get it. I live in a predominately mexican and black neighborhood, and the only drugs offered take something from you, weed, coke, heroin, assortment of pills. I have absolutely no interest in those things. I have always wanted to experience my mind without my ego interfering, ego death to the 10th power. I dont understand why certain people are completely cut off from this journey, but given everything else thats not good for you physically. Listening to these videos and trying to live vicariously through others experience is really starting to hurt my feelings. This experience and journey should be for everyone.
I wholeheartedly recommend that you look into learning how to grow your own mushrooms. There is good information and resources available to anyone these days (with a little digging). Also, check out any youtube vids and podcasts of interviews featuring two extraordinary psychonaut/mycologists: Kilindi Iyi and the late Kai Wingo. Best of luck to you!
Phew! Welcome back to my channel! I've been fighting TH-cam for 3 weeks to get it back. To the future! Without fear! - Peter Bergmann / We Plants Are Happy Plants
Good to see you got to keep ya channel Peter i have only experienced dimethyl a few times but all experiences were scary beautiful terrance has been a big part of the how and why i wanted the experience but Australia is a strict place for any psychedelic substances sadly..sched 9 here i think but my extracts never seem to work with acacias found and up untill a few years ago was able to buy acrb from ebay then the dmt hype made to much noise and now cant get it to aus anymore peep me an inbox and salute to your channel
What's described is so magnificent, but then I picture being there sober and it's just a bunch of hairy, naked hippies that are making mechanical screeching noises in the jungle. Psychedelics are kind of the ultimate you-had-to-be-there scenario.
I love when he tells the ufo story. What starts off as a cloud, turns into a ship, with rotating lights and rivets, into an end cap on a hoover vacuum, 45 ft in diameter and in the sky. Just leaving him completely dumbfounded. Its experiences like these that are dear to my heart. The pure oddness of it all, which would never happen in normal waking states, is one of my favorite parts of the psilocybin experience. The mushroom can literally present itself in any which way it chooses to. It truly is THE mystery that there may never be a sufficient answer to. I've had my own "ufo" experiences on psilocybin, and i constantly think about them. I know ill never get answers. But it sure is fun to speculate about them.
What a wonderful meandering entrancing, entranced piece of work this is. Thanks so much. I only came across Terence a few days ago but have been thinking about all this stuff for ages. Films like this are a great encouragement!
I've taken mushrooms and bad tripped immediately, I saw demons and red eyes staring at me (I was in pitch dark watching pink Floyd the wall) I kept asking my buddy, "Can you see him?", He had no idea what I was talking about. I saw my father with a top hat on. I felt like I was surrounded by demons and evil faces glaring at me. I went on a religious soul searching after (coming down off my trip) because I thought I was in hell. I was asking my buddy who sent him here (as if he was a spy or something and trying to destroy our society from within). Weeks later I was on the internet looking stuff up found a page that said when your in hell you see the image or form of your father (which I did when I was Tripping out) since I was in this "hell". It really tripped me out and I thought there really is such a thing as God and the devil because when I was in this hell of a trip I saw my father's face/image, but I didn't not know that would happen to people when they go to hell until weeks AFTER I already tripped...I dunno if I'm ever the same after, I think I've changed though because I'm an atheist again lol Big take from it all those is that the drugs make you delusional. You aren't seeing true reality. People shouldn't take their trips as untapped or unknown knowledge because it's not reality. The drugs make you think it is though....
@@cooperfilbey8930 BS...No evidence to prove that. Ask the same people who created Aliens??.. i dont think Aliens exist in universe i haven't seen a single one. Nobody nobody nobody knows where we came from. The only thing we need to learn how life works.
Rahul Kumar You don’t believe aliens exist in this entire universe? It would logically make zero sense that our planet, out of the seemingly infinite amount that exist, is the only one with life. I think it’s quite dumb to not believe just because you haven’t seen them.
DMT is the most craziest experience have ever had in my entire life,but I was been helped out by a specialist who guided me through my first ever DMT experience,he got all kinds of psychedelics stuffs
Just watched all of this and it was one of the most informative documentaries i've ever encountered in my life and it will be apart of me from this day forward. wow.
@@bossanova3292 80 years ago it would sound absolutely crazy that humans could land on the moon, 120 years ago you would be called crazy, if you brought a phone back to the 1600s you’d be killed for being a witch. As time goes forward we will only find out more
We are the aliens. As we grow we wake. Or perhaps the mushrooms are warning us of the impending necessity to restore balance to nature as humans destroy the planet. th-cam.com/video/vijGdWn5-h8/w-d-xo.html
One of the most fascinating books I have ever read. Just reading it was a trip. Thanks for putting this together, I look forward to watching the whole thing when I have time. Cheers from New Zealand
I personally have felt this to be more a reality then the government has been feeding us. I have only waited 56yrs for someone to prove my thoughts were not just my thoughts. This was most definitely worth watching that I'm giving it 56yrs worth of 👍👍👍👍👍umbs up😁
On my first trip on acid i had a full blown experience and all i can say is everything was confirming of my beliefs since childhood. Although i was raised christian aswell, i never really believed life is just that. Thinking of it,i can say as my third eye opened my spirit was sucked into astral, i literally saw everything moving far away from me, then i was sucked out of my body, and i heard my voice speaking to me and telling me everything i ever had questioned, thought about, theories and all that jazz. It was the most profound experience i've ever had. At the end of the trip i instantly felt like i slided back into my body. 'Beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning'
Been there brother! For me i saw golden glowing text, kinda arabic looking glyphs, and i COULD read it, out loud, but it just was just mumbles and sounds, I felt like part of me was understanding it but the rest of me was entirely gone. This was during an ego death experience.
I see the symbols a lot, its like you know it deep down, but at the same time you dont know it. I get a sense of deja vu with the symbols which i cant describe. That language being spoken always seems like The language, the grand story of the universe or something, but we cant understand it - but deep down we know the language is important or trying to say something important
I am grateful for being able to watch this. I am grateful for this man's work. We are sooOOO blessed for this. Likely more blessed than the feeble human mind can comprehend...
Terence McKenna another dead hero, the list of (dead heroes) humans who touched countless lives and changed minds. The criteria being; that they were mostly outsiders, misunderstood, jailed and or persecuted, that they went against the status quo and they lived life on their terms.

Thank you so very much to everyone involved in putting this together and sharing it with the world. This is the kind of information that needs to be heard and looked into further! This has truly made a profound impact on me and the direction I want to steer my life path towards!
My favorite part of this entire video is how long is takes to end :) You can really tell Peter just didn't want to end it, and I know I didn't want it to end either. Thanks, Peter, for your work. Thank you, Terence, for yours. This world is indeed a battleground of memes and ideas and many of yours are still going strong and continuously evolving. An ambiguous enterprise full of contradiction, but forward, ever forward!
It blew me away to learn from this video that Terrence McKenna was very well versed with Quantum Physics, as well as having a favorite part of the New Testament, namely Thomas when he doubted and needed proof. Thank you for sharing this....
This is perhaps the best terence mckenna remix ive ever seen. Thank you. Thank you! It makes what he is telling me very clear. I feel that as we move forward, not only novelty is getting faster, but also clarity, there seems to be an increase of clarity as well maybe its personal but who knows.
I've been searching for the psychadelic experience, the transcendental visionary experience, since I was about 12. I'd read up on erowid and the shroomery for hours everyday. I've known about Terrence since I was about 13 or 14 but now at 20 I really appreciate him. He's one of the greatest thinkers and speakers of our time.
My psychedelic trips are more of a mental high than a body high. Every time I’m in a good one I feel that I’m an entity of light traveling through time and space accompanied by my opposite, a male entity. Sort of like yin and yang. And that is all there is, just us in this vast universe (like the Egg theory). And I keep seeing geometric figures/patterns like the Golden Ratio and Metatron’s Cube. My boyfriend says that it was all part of my imagination since I was high, but I just can’t ignore the fact that it felt too real. Just pure enlightenment.
On my last LSD trip it was like there never existed a time without LSD and I was one with the universe and my friend who was equally as high. We experienced the same trip and everything seemed to be so simple and yet so complex. I felt like my eyes could not only see but also feel and hear, I experienced the world through my eyes and lost every sense of my body. My friend kept saying if she stopped walking she would dissolve and we walked around holding hands. We were in another universe and felt connected since we experienced exacly the same things.
How powerful that so many of us feel we connect and know Terence like he was a family member. Thankyou so much for this movie. Wishing you well Peter Bergmann!
An interesting question would be, do shamans who have never had ANY experience with modern technology or mechanical machinery, still see the mechanical/biological entities?
Supposedly Terreance gave some LSD to a monk and asked him "what is this" meaning what is this experience. The LSD didn't effect the monk. So I heard. Maybe search on the internet you may find the story.
Hyperspace Jester Strangely enough I have just stumbled back onto Terence speaking about giving DMT to a Monk and the Monk saying "that/those are the lesser lights" You can hear him talk about it here at minute 29 th-cam.com/video/SNl9FVJIPyY/w-d-xo.html If you can't click the link search youtube for - Terence McKenna - Carl Jung & Psychic Archetypes (Lecture) :)
1 million views.. thanks so much for watching guys! all it took was 15 months, endless promotion, and launching a fake story about Jim Carrey playing Terence... anyway, to celebrate, I'm streaming a special version of the movie in about an hour on my youtube channel. see you there!

that Jim Carry thing is really clever... Have mushrooms told you that trick?
So disappointing that Jim Carrey will not in fact be assuming that role...however I am looking forward to sitting down and watching this now.
We Plants Are Happy Plants alright. ill accept i was tricked and watxh it regsrdless. but is the film actual footage from his trip? or am i just supposed to listen?
pauly morphous what? it's the first I've heard it....
disappointing.
This video should help people, particularly those "unfamiliar" with these chemicals, understand why the term "psychedelic" and "hallucinogenic" should concede the right-of-way to a far more appropriate term, "enthiogenic."
DMT has been wonderful, makes you feel so light and out of your head.
The therapeutic benefits of psilocybin mushrooms completely changed my recovery journey, and other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also played a key role in my healing and personal transformation.
Hey, can someone point me to a source? I've been battling severe anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.
doctorcyruss is your guy, really good with anything psychedelics, and the most knowledgeable that I know.
He’s on Telgram?
Yes and TikTok, highly recommended for his expertise and services.
To all my true Psychonauts: Thank you for being a part of this journey we call Life.

Thank You very much!!
What I love about Terrence is the more you delve into psychedelics you realize how absolutely crazy he seems and how absolutely sane he sounds at the same time... Our existence is so magical

Psychedelics was mind blowing for me. I found myself in a world where swirling colors created a mesmerizing kaleidoscope. Time stretched as I explored cosmic landscapes, feeling a profound connection to everything. It left me with a deep sense of peace and wonder, realizing the limitless potential of the mind.
Psychedelics have the ability to induce profound altered states of consciousness

5 grams dry
About 3/4 of the way through a 5 gram trip, I had a vision of Terence dressed as a hippie, reclining on a cloud in the sky with many other bright and happy beings, applauding me for how well I had handled my trip. I felt honored.
Dressed as a hippy, so you mean he dressed as he normally does? Haha only joking that sounds awesome

That's sounds awesome dude I would cry
@@Dyrnwyn what did you learn on that 5g trip
@@xxm0abxx5 some stuff about my mother which would take too long to explain. Lots of sympathy and forgiveness though.
I did my first high dose mushroom trip at age 16. Did not know what to expect... i was addicted to drugs my whole life from age 13 on. I used psychedelics for a long period of time on a regular basis. Now i'm 33 quit abusing any kind of drug for some years now. I just grew out of it, but one thing i will continue all my life and that is mushrooms. My friends allways used it for fun, for me it has always been different...
I take high doses alone every now and then, at least two times a year and i think it helps me to be a better person...

I tripped heavily whilst walking around a huge city on a working Monday. I saw everything differently. I saw how we aggressively keep ourselves in this working and depressing society. I asked myself why don’t we just stop this shit if nobody wants to be doing this. It was so obvious yet so hidden. It made me so sad 😞
I knew psychedelics would show me this but it was sooooo different when I actually experienced it. I can never un-see the truth now🌏 I am still shocked today about what I saw.
I hope everyone stays safe out there and don’t take everything too seriously because you literally don’t have too 😇❤️🌈
Hey, im not trying to come of as rude, but if you dont take everything too seriously, wouldnt that apply to your trip aswell perhaps? Could you help me understand the difference, if there is?
thanks for sharing your experience. it seems to have been painful. i am glad you are on the other end of it well enough to feel comfortable sharing. i believe the insights you gained from the experience, although unpleasant, will lead to a more fulfilling life, for you have experience reality on a different level. Your perspective is important! thanks for sharing ❤️
@@denlolify I’m not trying to be rude either but the bottom line is, you’re gonna die someday. It could be today or it could be any day. That’s why you can’t take life to seriously. If you’re not happy all you can do is figure out why and do your best to change it. Remember material things only bring happiness for a short time so never think if I had this or that I would be happy. This includes money and people. You have to find it in yourself. I’m working on it too. It’s not easy but the worst thing that can happen to you is reaching your death and realizing you haven’t lived.
@@denlolify Psilocybin can change you perspective and make you see things for exactly what they are. How serious you take that may depend on what you see.
@@thelastrebelshow1627 hey, yeah this is what I've heard aswell, but it's interesting why you would take the trip and what the trip showed you so serious, yet decide to not take all the other things so serious. Like great you figure out alot of people don't like working, would prefer to do something else. But how else would you function as a society. And yes I agree materialism doesn't bring happiness, you yourself do, but there are plenty of people that are happy enough being materialistic their whole life. What does it matter if inner and outer happiness both work?
It’s crazy to listen to this once a year or so just so you can see how your perception changes over time and how you understand things differently as time goes on
I know right!
The more intense/insightful trips I have the more and more I understand what Terrance is saying
That's exactly what happens to everyone when they are on the right track. This only happens once and only to each individual his or her own. It's so strange
When I listen to Terence McKenna I don't think of his ideas or theories as right or wrong, I listen to him in order to explore and expand my mind and my consciousness, no one does this better than Terence McKenna.
What an amazing human being. The guy has huge brains, huge balls, and a heart of gold. He really had a questing spirit, and he wasn't afraid to court the beautiful, profound, and the terrifying. He ran the edges of human consciousness and then pulled those edges towards the center. so he could shine a light on them. I never get sick of listening to him.
Can't believe your comment didn't have a like. I understand what you meant about running a long the edges and pulling them towards the center. I've been there. I've seen. Sending you lots of love.

+Evan May Thanks for the wonderful feedback! :)
Evan May - I agree totally.
Ok calm down it wasnt that great
same man mckennas voice is so familiar now, real shame how he died, was a great man.
One thing that I really appreciate about Terrence, is (or was) his humility, and not taking himself too seriously. Obviously he recognized that he had a lot to offer philosophically, but he truly internalized basic spiritual principles that exist naturally once you put your ego in it’s proper context.
@Vosk coin dude shut up
With hundreds of hours of experience listening to Terence, you still managed to find some material I hadn't come across. Cheers!
I love all of you

There are times when Mr. McKenna's words hit so close to home that I become overwhelmed. Sometimes, just listening to his voice puts leads my consciousness into liminal spaces.
holy bardic hyper lullaby, not toward slumber but hypnogogia. equal to the words themselves is his cadence. the music. ambassador of The Voice. playful teacher. terrance recordings are portal-absorbants.

Listening to Terence makes me feel like the Earth wants us to hear this.
watched the whole thing yesterday night while tripping on 4.5 Gs of amazonian cubensis. Simply amazing, and magical. Terence Mckenna, truly a psychedelic preacher, teacher and revolutionary. R.I.P Terence. You left us with some valuable knowledge and insight to things beyond average human perception.

@@christomorpho😂??
Yeah me too. It was life changer. 3.5 grams
Thoughtfully speechless as I watch this. Terence is still as impressive and mind blowing to me as he was in 1997 as a junior in high school. Still have my copy of True Hallucinations I poured over back then. A few short years later, I was exploring his timewave zero page on the web...the days of AOL still....and his email was listed, which I, of course, used. I have never been so surprised as I was the day I got a response to my email from Terence! I ended up communicating with him a couple times, just as a fan, and a seeker of knowledge and understanding of this strange existence. I wish I still had them, but starting over in life is something I have had to endure too many times to have held on to much....somehow, not really sure how it's even possible, considering my last 25 years, but I'll always be grateful for him and the way he's spurred my imagination and creativity. Sending love to all ya out there who found themselves here, right now.
I'm quite the McKenna fan, and had fallen under the erroneous perception that I already understood his wrap, courted and curtsied his wildest ideas, and essentially exhausted the entire Terence experience. How wrong I was. This beautifully crafted documentary has allowed Terence McKenna to make of my imagination yet again a blushing naive maiden.
I stumbled on Terence at 12 years old listening to The Shamen, and was scared and intrigued and curious. I had no idea that was when I “plugged in” to a journey I am still on. He inspires my curiosity and brings magic to the world. Thank you for sharing this. Much love!

There is no such a phenomena as predicting end of a book. You write a story and it loves by itself, you don't know. Or you think about the end first and then build a story to it.

Also , to see that you have ur own spotify page really struck me.

Listening to Terence never fails to make me smile, the way he leaves things completely open for introspection is beautiful.

A Human Being is one who is actually Totally Free of fear, anxiety, suffering, confusion, alienation, addictions, envy, greed, jealousy, pride, anger, hatred, violence, bias, and prejudice.
Totally Free of beliefs, philosophies, ideologies, theories, opinions, perspectives, biases, prejudices, nationality, and identifications, which limit, color, shape & distort Perception, and therefore, prevent Lucidity.
Totally Free of the I, the me, the self, the observer, the chooser, the experiencer, the interpreter, and the so-called True or Higher Self, which is the invention of the past conditioning of the brain, which acts like an inner tyrant who tells you what to think, how to feel, and what to do.
A Human Being is one who actually treats everyone, without exception, with the same intensity and quality of care and affection that they would give their dearest closest friend, lover, or child, without any sense of division, separation or distance in daily life, once and for all, now forever.
A Human Being is actually Living Love, Peace, Joy, Truth, Creativity, Compassion (Passion for All).
A Human Being is actually Communicating, Communing, Connecting with everyone and everything in each and every moment of daily life.
To be Human does not take time.
It is not of time.
It is not the result of time or the things of time.
It is not the result of any method, ritual, or diet.
It is not the result of any chemical.
It is not the result of any process.
There is no path to it.
It happens effortlessly and choicelessly...faster than the speed of light.
Moreover, it is once and for all, now and forever.
Entheogens are medicinal substances and can be helpful for some in the very beginning if used wisely.
However, they are incapable of giving birth to Total Enlightenment.
Millions of people have used entheogens over and over again, but how many are Totally Enlightened?
Chemicals are limited and the limited is incapable of ever giving birth to Infinity.
The material is incapable of ever giving birth to Spirit, Soul, Heart.
If you were free of all those things you would no longet have a personality. Things that make you YOU.
@Do you Think bro? How, darks is a completely human concept. Without having anything be bad you would have no empathy for other humans. Good and bad dont exist outside of humans its simply part of our instincts. I seriosly doubt yoy could live your life completely seperated from bad and only see good.
McKenna wasn't ahead of his time, he just knows. There's been a lot of people throughout history including right now who feel the same. I relate to exactly everything Terence says, It's easy to know. Sit in nature by your self with mushrooms and you will know. Just listen.
tOoEsZ !!! facts
Yup. Ive seen people who are into popping pills or drinking alot that mushrooms are bad for you they have no actual reason other than they being a "psychedelic" meaning it affects your mind so they speak out of fear and ignorance lol.

kaz2910 what if it was him talking to me the last time I shroomed.
@@randyortonsbulge We can still talk to these people through dreams and such. The spirit of the creator is what makes us who we are and the creator has an infinite log of everyone who has ever lived. Terrance knew that shrooms were a door to interacting with the universe aka the creator force. Thats why most of us learn great things when we take shrooms. I am always protected any time I interact with an unseen force or "entity" during any kind of trip. We were all put here for a purpose, and Terrance's purpose was to spread us this knowledge.
I even posted a comment here. You can look for it. Cheers.
I encountered him, as a homeless man by an old trainstation in a vivid dream. It was very much less grandiose compared to this documentary.
And the message I derive from it is a sense of loss, and visions of a lost golden age...

+Joni E The experience par excellence !!!!!
+Joni E havnt ever done mushrooms but after this i wanan fuckin eat a ppound
+Joni E Ive had 4.5 dried grams, I did it because Bill Hicks did it and said Terrence McKenna called it a 'heroic dose' lol. I saw gnomes Im not lying, and i saw every angle and every dimension in my physicality mathematically calculated and explained to me in sharp blue neon lines and equations lol. the gnomes were in the carpet bobbles holding hands and singing at me. Its nice but I really like the deeper trips.
Low doses High doses I lovemall !!!!! When cultivating I have .25 caps as vitamins....life is good.....
Listening to Terence makes me feel closer to myself but at the same time I feel so distant to everyone I know, I don't know what's going on with me, all I can say is that when the path of the seeker of knowledge is chosen there might be no turning back to the normal world. To the editor of the video and owner/owners of this channel I must say THANK YOU VERY MUCH, this video almost made me cry, I have never seen such magic such powerful combination of soundtrack and video plus Terence voice it's something amazing it's resounding.

I’m INCREDIBLY surprised at how close I was to bursting into tears. I’m trying to get over the fear of psychedelics, that I built up from a few bad trips, psyching myself out, and events happening in real life.

This film just gets better every year I watch it.
Peter you have created a timeless masterpiece.
Thank you for your dedication.
"The Mushroom Speaks" is a powerful speech. Love it!
My FAVORITE Terence talks are, "The Ethnobotany of Shamanism," (on You Tube or 8 cassette tapes), and, "Mind and Time, Spirit and Matter." Check them out!
“Go where the cosmic giggle can get after you.” I think this is your bored soul awakening because you are doing something that awakens it.
Mind blown! This documentary is pure gold!
Terence McKenna is the most eloquent speaker I have been fortunate enough to encounter. Despite how much I love this content, I believe thinking too deeply about topics that have no answers, as Terence says; «nobody knows», is the best one way ticket to feeling socially alienated from friends and family. Everyday practicality fluds the cortex of most people, and deep thinking (which i believe psychedelic experiences to be) breaks the dam. Thread carefully friends, knowledge is wonderful and dangerous at the same time. Take it easy, but, take it.
(Edited a spelling mistake, not my native language)
Blyden - Alienation is a price we’re willing to pay, man. But I don’t alienate anybody
So much of what he says is just fluff, and his brother is the first to call him out.
Yes, thank you!
@Manchester United the thing is he is constantly contradicting himself and issuing his focus lists to draw people in when in reality many of his words are meaningless and empty. I’m a much bigger fan of his brother.
Blyden I think less than total alienation, since the Green Wave of Cannabis is breaking through old taboos, around the world. Look at Portugal, with the legalization of ALL drugs, and they're still afloat. Magic Mushrooms is legal in Denver, Colorado, and Oregon, I believe. These plants sell themselves, because they open us up to the kind of joyous mindset we lived in as children -- open, and free.
But they COULD also be used, consciously, in a totally different way--as spiritual sacraments, when paired with spiritual practices, like meditation, dream work, and the like. THAT would be boundary dissolving and revolutionary, helping us to see what is possible in the UN-stoned state.
These substances COULD help us to become AWARE OF the psychological chains that certain poisonous cultural beliefs and ways have locked us into. For instance--racism would disappear, once all people realize they are literally spirit-beings, basically independent of our mortal coils. We can have these experiences while STRAIGHT as well. Imagine THAT.

I'm sorry, I've been looking for a psychedelic experience since I was 19, I am now 35. All and I mean every single one of my friends who happen to be white have had some sort of experience with shrooms, or lsd, or dmt, or mescaline. I was always met them after the fact because these are things you do not need to do often (apparently). And no one knows where to get it. I live in a predominately mexican and black neighborhood, and the only drugs offered take something from you, weed, coke, heroin, assortment of pills. I have absolutely no interest in those things. I have always wanted to experience my mind without my ego interfering, ego death to the 10th power.
I dont understand why certain people are completely cut off from this journey, but given everything else thats not good for you physically. Listening to these videos and trying to live vicariously through others experience is really starting to hurt my feelings. This experience and journey should be for everyone.
Blak Wamun that's depressing

I wholeheartedly recommend that you look into learning how to grow your own mushrooms. There is good information and resources available to anyone these days (with a little digging).
Also, check out any youtube vids and podcasts of interviews featuring two

Good to see you got to keep ya channel Peter i have only experienced dimethyl a few times but all experiences were scary beautiful terrance has been a big part of the how and why i wanted the experience but Australia is a strict place for any psychedelic substances sadly..sched 9 here i think but my extracts never seem to work with acacias found and up untill a few years ago was able to buy acrb from ebay then the dmt hype made to much noise and now cant get it to aus anymore peep me an inbox and salute to your channel
What's described is so magnificent, but then I picture being there sober and it's just a bunch of hairy, naked hippies that are making mechanical screeching noises in the jungle. Psychedelics are kind of the ultimate you-had-to-be-there scenario.
I love when he tells the ufo story. What starts off as a cloud, turns into a ship, with rotating lights and rivets, into an end cap on a hoover vacuum, 45 ft in diameter and in the sky. Just leaving him completely dumbfounded. Its experiences like these that are dear to my heart. The pure oddness of it all, which would never happen in normal waking states, is one of my favorite parts of the psilocybin experience. The mushroom can literally present itself in any which way it chooses to. It truly is THE mystery that there may never be a sufficient answer to. I've had my own "ufo" experiences on psilocybin, and i constantly think about them. I know ill never get answers. But it sure is fun to speculate about them.
What a wonderful meandering entrancing, entranced piece of work this is. Thanks so much. I only came across Terence a few days ago but have been thinking about all this stuff for ages. Films like this are a great encouragement!
The mental image of a group of 1960's hippies sitting around a mushroom in the dark and humming at it intensely still cracks me up.
I've taken mushrooms and bad tripped immediately, I saw demons and red eyes staring at me (I was in pitch dark watching pink Floyd the wall) I kept asking my buddy, "Can you see him?", He had no idea what I was talking about. I saw my father with a top hat on. I felt like I was surrounded by demons and evil faces glaring at me. I went on a religious soul searching after (coming down off my trip) because I thought I was in hell. I was asking my buddy who sent him here (as if he was a spy or something and trying to destroy our society from within). Weeks later I was on the internet looking stuff up found a page that said when your in hell you see the image or form of your father (which I did when I was Tripping out) since I was in this "hell". It really tripped me out and I thought there really is such a thing as God and the devil because when I was in this hell of a trip I saw my father's face/image, but I didn't not know that would happen to people when they go to hell until weeks AFTER I already tripped...I dunno if I'm ever the same after, I think I've changed though because I'm an atheist again lol
Big take from it all those is that the drugs make you delusional. You aren't seeing true reality. People shouldn't take their trips as untapped or unknown knowledge because it's not reality. The drugs make you think it is though....
man i fucking heard that same noise on 7 grams was fucking crazy and awful lol
@hudson maybe it's your high and mighty attitude that pissed him off
ajcook7777 You can not grasp that all is alive, connected, one? Might explain why man is in self destruct mode.
@hudson did you just wait a month to make a terrible point?
"Human history is a genetic experiment by an extra-terrestrial resident in the environment." I love that quote!
scary as fuck
@@cooperfilbey8930 BS...No evidence to prove that. Ask the same people who created Aliens??.. i dont think Aliens exist in universe i haven't seen a single one. Nobody nobody nobody knows where we came from. The only thing we need to learn how life works.
@@Sketcher86 in the 1930s there was no evidence that we could land on the moon and look what happened
Rahul Kumar You don’t believe aliens exist in this entire universe? It would logically make zero sense that our planet, out of the seemingly infinite amount that exist, is the only one with life. I think it’s quite dumb to not believe just because you haven’t seen them.
We all waiting for McKenna movie to come. It will be beautiful ✨
DMT is the most craziest experience have ever had in my entire life,but I was been helped out by a specialist who guided me through my first ever DMT experience,he got all kinds of psychedelics stuffs

Just watched all of this and it was one of the most informative documentaries i've ever encountered in my life and it will be apart of me from this day forward. wow.
This is what I needed to see. Thank You Peter.
When he talks about how aliens wouldn't just flood the skies with air crafts but rather study us by hiding in the mushrooms 🤯
So where's the so called aliens then? Never ever seen or known, but you may be on to something you not realise!
How can you type that and not see how completely ridiculous that sounds.
@@bossanova3292 80 years ago it would sound absolutely crazy that humans could land on the moon, 120 years ago you would be called crazy, if you brought a phone back to the 1600s you’d be killed for being a witch. As time goes forward we will only find out more
@@erlend6338 things that the common mind can't still comprehend or haven't reach yet
We are the aliens. As we grow we wake. Or perhaps the mushrooms are warning us of the impending necessity to restore balance to nature as humans destroy the planet.

One of the most fascinating books I have ever read. Just reading it was a trip. Thanks for putting this together, I look forward to watching the whole thing when I have time. Cheers from New Zealand
jack tat Really! Thanks for clarifying that.
I too just finished reading True Hallucinations and wow, just wow. Also from New Zealand!
10/10 love you for making this
I personally have felt this to be more a reality then the government has been feeding us. I have only waited 56yrs for someone to prove my thoughts were not just my thoughts. This was most definitely worth watching that I'm giving it 56yrs worth of 👍👍👍👍👍umbs up😁
On my first trip on acid i had a full blown experience and all i can say is everything was confirming of my beliefs since childhood.
Although i was raised christian aswell, i never really believed life is just that.
Thinking of it,i can say as my third eye opened my spirit was sucked into astral, i literally saw everything moving far away from me, then i was sucked out of my body, and i heard my voice speaking to me and telling me everything i ever had questioned, thought about, theories and all that jazz.
It was the most profound experience i've ever had.
At the end of the trip i instantly felt like i slided back into my body.
'Beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning'
What a trip, Thank you, thank you thank you for all your effort on this and in securing Terence's legacy.
Amazing documentary! It is always great to listen to Terence' words. Thank you for using two of my fractal animations in this context :-)
Every time I take a high dose of shrooms I see ancient symbols that I feel like I can almost read.

Been there brother! For me i saw golden glowing text, kinda arabic looking glyphs, and i COULD read it, out loud, but it just was just mumbles and sounds, I felt like part of me was understanding it but the rest of me was entirely gone. This was during an ego death experience.
@@dank1981 I have said the exact same thing! Synchronicities.
@@dank1981 you should make a video talking about your experiences
I see the symbols a lot, its like you know it deep down, but at the same time you dont know it. I get a sense of deja vu with the symbols which i cant describe. That language being spoken always seems like The language, the grand story of the universe or something, but we cant understand it - but deep down we know the language is important or trying to say something important
I am grateful for being able to watch this. I am grateful for this man's work. We are sooOOO blessed for this. Likely more blessed than the feeble human mind can comprehend...
I could listen to him all day, he was a crazy genius
Congratulations! You have put together an excellent piece that will be appreciated by many. Greetings from Colombia!
Terence McKenna another dead hero, the list of (dead heroes) humans who touched countless lives and changed minds. The criteria being; that they were mostly outsiders, misunderstood, jailed and or persecuted, that they went against the status quo and they lived life on their terms. A list of people I wish I could have met and thanked for all they did in their work, that has influenced me and so many others they push the human species forward and help us evolve.
Thank you.

Merely making an observation...and a bit of a joke. To balance it out, feel free to add me to the list once I'm dead and gone. :)
Woah...wait...what? Is Joe Rogan dead? (Or just dead to you?)
The visuals are to die for! Nice rendering. This video needs to go viral.
On instagram
Thank you so very much to everyone involved in putting this together and sharing it with the world. This is the kind of information that needs to be heard and looked into further! This has truly made a profound impact on me and the direction I want to steer my life path towards!
His brother is even great to listen too!
+The Psychonaut both are fucking amazing
+The Psychonaut hahah
The Psychonaut let's be real, Dennis is a sidekick at best, and personally I think he doesn't nearly live up to his brother's sanctity
Kai Kjallman in my opinion saying that is very disrespectful considering what they have both been through together.
Zech why what have they been through togeather?
I had no clue this movie adapted from his book even existed. I laughed, I cried, I never wanted it to end.
My favorite part of this entire video is how long is takes to end :) You can really tell Peter just didn't want to end it, and I know I didn't want it to end either. Thanks, Peter, for your work. Thank you, Terence, for yours. This world is indeed a battleground of memes and ideas and many of yours are still going strong and continuously evolving.
An ambiguous enterprise full of contradiction, but forward, ever forward!
I never knew what to make of McKenna. His a cross between science and art. Intellectual artist.
It blew me away to learn from this video that Terrence McKenna was very well versed with Quantum Physics, as well as having a favorite part of the New Testament, namely Thomas when he doubted and needed proof. Thank you for sharing this....
This is perhaps the best terence mckenna remix ive ever seen. Thank you. Thank you! It makes what he is telling me very clear. I feel that as we move forward, not only novelty is getting faster, but also clarity, there seems to be an increase of clarity as well maybe its personal but who knows.
I just wish everyone good health. It's the most important thing. Stay well, people!! March 9th 831 pm. Southern California
Who else wants to eat 5g of dry mushrooms after watching this?
@@mistypoke6347 I’m first thing tomorrow
Great job at condensing The Book True Hallucinations. Makes me want to do another read/listen.
I've been searching for the psychadelic experience, the transcendental visionary experience, since I was about 12. I'd read up on erowid and the shroomery for hours everyday. I've known about Terrence since I was about 13 or 14 but now at 20 I really appreciate him. He's one of the greatest thinkers and speakers of our time.
You haven't tripped yet?
Marijuana + Terence McKenna is the recipe to receiving downloads of knowledge
Man, I wish. When I get high everything that comes in goes right out the next day. Shrooms though.. yeah... good stuff
Ya weed is known to help with memory lAwLs
Old books help too
Exactly...💯
We are always, forever, connected to the CREATOR and can never be separated! "Inner and outer space ARE exactly the same", sweet song Terrance!
This is profoundly inspiring and has put me at ease in terms of living and growing old
yessss its finally here! Thankyou 🙏🙏🙏life is such a trip
My psychedelic trips are more of a mental high than a body high. Every time I’m in a good one I feel that I’m an entity of light traveling through time and space accompanied by my opposite, a male entity. Sort of like yin and yang. And that is all there is, just us in this vast universe (like the Egg theory). And I keep seeing geometric figures/patterns like the Golden Ratio and Metatron’s Cube.
My boyfriend says that it was all part of my imagination since I was high, but I just can’t ignore the fact that it felt too real. Just pure enlightenment.
Someone told me that even the patterns and shapes we see, are all apart of the spirit showing us. Nothing is insignificant.
On my last LSD trip it was like there never existed a time without LSD and I was one with the universe and my friend who was equally as high. We experienced the same trip and everything seemed to be so simple and yet so complex. I felt like my eyes could not only see but also feel and hear, I experienced the world through my eyes and lost every sense of my body. My friend kept saying if she stopped walking she would dissolve and we walked around holding hands. We were in another universe and felt connected since we experienced exacly the same things.
Check out Jungian archetypes

Have you come down yet
How powerful that so many of us feel we connect and know Terence like he was a family member. Thankyou so much for this movie. Wishing you well Peter Bergmann!
An interesting question would be, do shamans who have never had ANY experience with modern technology or mechanical machinery, still see the mechanical/biological entities?
Yes that would be a great question indeed
Supposedly Terreance gave some LSD to a monk and asked him "what is this" meaning what is this experience. The LSD didn't effect the monk. So I heard. Maybe search on the internet you may find the story.

Ram Dass said the same thing! ✌
Hyperspace Jester Strangely enough I have just stumbled back onto Terence speaking about giving DMT to a Monk and the Monk saying "that/those are the lesser lights" You can hear him talk about it here at minute 29
