    No matter how much, I've listened to Terrance McKenna. There's always something new I haven't heard yet. 21 years later after his death. His message, really made waves.

    The moment we invented language we strayed the furthest from the natural language - direct communication - the “Beautific Vision” or “Satori.” Ever since then we’ve been slowly migrating back towards that language and away from the vocal and symbolic language of alphabets - the language that begs to be misinterpreted. The sound of the rain needs no translation.

    Yesterday I slipped up a little and told a younger American girl (I'm 45, she was about 35) that I didn't like America. We had gotten off on the wrong foot. Point is market-driven life is anything but inspiring, and shoppers are a large part of the 'problem'. Terence has left us with intelligence, whether one drops mushrooms or not. He was bold enough to go his own way, the way of a person of the world (like Thoreau and others before him).
    Terence loved poetry, too :) and that makes me love him.

  • @max_mittler

    I try to be very mindful of the role language has in our being, as it's something that few people analyze anymore. Language is extremely important to all cultural and political ideas. Everything we think, desire, create...is transposed into language so that it can be understood and brought into being. Language is the best, maybe only tool we have to build the kind of future we desire. Therefore we must look very carefully into the construction of this language, and make changes and additions where we can, and even postulate paradigm shifts and new languages. Terence talks about political linguistic changes involving feminism which are more relevant today than ever before with tons of people in my generation adopting new pronouns and essentially redefining (or clarifying the definition of) gender. Without this clarification and new usage/understanding, an entire segment of the population would still be struggling to express an important aspect of themselves for lack of a proper way to present it using language. This type of re-orienting and clarifying of language can be done in every nook and cranny of society.

      hmm.. time is a loop & a sort of test for souls. that’s why there is a “judgement day”. if we do not figure out the mystery (my story) we will be history (his story). in order to have a proper time experience we need to be able to control our own thoughts because thoughts create our experience/reality. you have to conquer the matrix (my tricks = your own thoughts) before you can move on.

    I think my language is going to require I retreat into a private culture. If math is racist, how can you even evoke the concept of equality without being racist?. Math is the language of science, that makes math suspect. Talk about syntax, the "=" sign is used in mathematics in the same way the word "is" is used to connect subject and predicate in a sentence. This is deconstruction at its core.
