    Terence passed away 20 years ago today, here's a little compilation of some of his best speeches and bits, from the hundreds of videos I've edited over the years.

      Me too. I took psilocybin once 14 years ago. I got the message and hung up. Now I listen to McKenna for the message. The message that my experience that day was real. The beauty of nature that I beheld that day is how things really are. Even though I may not do psychedelics again, McKenna helps me to not deny my personal experience with music, sex, nature, laughter, everything.

    It's hard to express how significant Terrence's contributions are to my journey. The potency of his words stems from true experience, not just a brilliance in his command of language, which is quit necessary in order to convey what he's seen and needed to tell us.

    I remember meeting him in a dream once at his Hawaiian Home in a greenhouse garden observatory in a small private group of his inner circle and his Wife and brother Dennis were there. I remember feeling an honor to be among his company and we in a smaller group looked at this leather roll a young lad had brought to show us all and on it was a magikal seal of some sort with some kind of function the young man had not yet determined and we all "ooo'd" and "aaah'd" at this gift. That's the closest I've ever felt to knowing him on a personal level, despite watching and listening to his many hundreds if not thousands of hours of video and audio compilations from his beautiful life lived here in this time.
    I look forward to the place where I shall meet him again and share in the laughter of new experience. Live long and prosper fellow traveler's.

    What amazes me so much about McKenna is that, year after year, I keep coming back to his message!
    As I search, experience, and discover in my own life: revelations appear! Such is the nature of growing up.e
    And when I return to the wisdom of the Late Great Master, Terrence McKenna: his linguistic acuity resonates with the truth I've acquired from other sources!
    This, I think, is a telltale sign of True communication. McKenna speaks his authentic truth, and it shows.

    My god, I love this man so much that I cannot even begin to put in words what his lessons meant to me and brought to my life. So much awereness, so much curiosity to look beyond any convenient view and to be ever open to learn from the infinity complex nature of experiencies. How much knowledge can we integrate to become more councious about our role in nature to transcend the material realm. Thank you so much, for making some scary ass mysterious universe seam like an adventure seeking for life love and truth. Sorry about my english if I said something wrong, but even my interest to learn english was catalysed by his fantastic lectures. Love you Terrence, love to all!

    Thank you for compiling this. Terence had his quirks, as we all do. He wasn’t the smartest guy to ever live, not the best in math or physics or science or history ad nauseum… and some of his ideas were a little off the mark… but…. BUT….
    His raw intellectual curiosity surpasses anyone I’ve ever read or heard.

    Man, I always thought thinking like this was kind of bullshit. But his opening line here is really spot on with the nature of emergence. Despite all the odds the universe is fighting entropy. The only question is if this increasing complexity is all just a beautiful dance that leads to null or if we can truly outsmart reality.

  • @pickupthebass1

    I fully admit I know nothing about the nature of reality and the forces at work in this system we find ourselves in. We are made of the universe. We are the universe waking up and realising itself. That is the single most amazing thing that I can comprehend. The universe is in a state of anaesthesia.
