What a mind expanding lecture. Just when you think you understand the limits of what is [even theoretically] possible, a guy like Terence takes it to another level. Brilliant.
*Back a year later just to hear this one again!*
My brother
One of the best. Agreed that the last ten minutes is pretty mind blowing. As a writer myself interested in sci fi, his thoughts on our technological future always seem so so on point. One of the great thinkers of our time and he is mostly unknown.
do you believe that's on purpose?
this is where Black Mirror creators got most of ideas from
right? The 2 girls living in a fantasy beach town and then being uploaded?
Honestly I think you can even apply this to today's culture around social media and online content creation, especially livestreaming. Everyday people are projecting a stylized version of their personalities for all to see, and those personalities interact with each other in an entirely virtual space
I was Thinking the same thing about the matrix lol
Terrence McKenna is one who clearly communicated with the spirits.
- He mentioned Alexander Grey.
Very strongly would like to advice you his artworks if you don't know them already. Simply brilliant, you will recognise instantly the different experiences and processes of this way.
Thanks for the amazing content, again.
The communication theory bit is a complete mind-blow for the modern TH-camr🤯🤬
First minute or so In, is the first time I've heard Terence make comment on Alex Grey 🙏🏽💛
That's a pretty rad photo.
Who made it
One of the best I've heard yet. The last ten minutes in particular are chilling....what would Terence have to say about the current Technological/Political/Propaganda triptych today?
Even better is when he is talking about how we are truly, fundamentally, one people of the earth.
He kind of already described it in the lecture. This guy saw the curve.

And how about now 4 years on from when you replied ...now what would Terence say.
Can someone please make a compilation of terence drinking water? I hear like at least 6 in every video of his
His thoughts about creativity are so cool, thanks for sharing.

I think your channel is amazing. I love the fact that these talks go uninterrupted by those vicious ads and they are really kept to a minimum. I appreciate it very much... Thanks, Peter !!
Yes!
FYI artist work is that of Ronald Feghali finally took the initiative as fellow artist.... great talk, on level perspective, and even felt little more interpersonal then some of his main forte
Another great Esalen lecture! Thanks!
Thank you for uploading this!

Oh god the guy talking about his paintings had Terrance responding back rhetorically lmao
The longer you study this picture the cooler it gets. Tesla
Gaze into the overlapping triforce .that took 5 min of my life !
Nailed it 🍄
Brilliant. Not the only voice saying this at the time but one of the very few. Wish he could have seen the progression.
Hayy, that conversation came about a few days after the day of my birth, how fitting lol
The Mind Elevated and The Symbiosis Mainted at a respectable Level.
Man if Terrence could see these AI advances. I feel like the new LHG is going to show gravity strings coming from quarks which I think will have a sub atomic entanglement with syntax then let the AI diddle with that field haha that's how we will keep everyone entertained
placing head next to computer screen, eyes roll back. '"learning!!!"
I'm listening to this on my phone while looking at his wiki page.......mann, i wish he was here to see it.
. . . *Astonishing* . . .
Qualified mediators can fully absorb into refined subtle states and dance at the gates of death. Terrence studied Tantra but unfortunately I think he missed the point. I listen to Terrence most days. He's a genius. I believe the conclusion he came to was that mind is everything. What Tantra enables is to abide in a torrent of bliss and personally manifest reality. Who knows maybe he did see and it's just me that doesn't get it, ha. Love you guys, hope your well and happy!
Yeah you don’t get it
Videogames are a good example of what Terrance was predicting for the future of art. Modern games allow for immersion into worlds in unprecedented ways.
Now I understand the Meta-verse
excellent !

When you watch enough Mckenna you cant escape the looney cackles and braying of some oddball attending his lectures.
Its like he opened a portal and whacky goofball dwarves and elves are having a tourist day , entertained by his wisdom.
Great video, despite these occasional idiots.
1:04:09 the sought after sound of Terrence McKenna gulping down a mouthful of water lmao
he was like 15 25 years ahead of time in conversation so alot goes past the people at the time and even today it does to some
is that neil young? Right up front in the middle?
37:40 bless you....
I know it's a long shot but does anyone know of any art teachers/schools/writers/thinkers who've taken on what Terrence expressed about art? basically, folk who've taken on the torch from Terrence... taken what he said and are actively preaching it around artists?
Can someone name all the individuals in this picture?
If only he could live to see the Midjourney and GPT

2641 items, somehow I expected those numbers. Thank you Peter for the Link👍
where can i get that artwork?
funniest thing AI is completely exploding and the big questions are still out there only art can heal by meeting nature as message and technology as instrument! The mushrooms really did tell terence how the waves were synchronizing.
👏
growing heart
*Cheers*
Man if Terrence could see these AI advances. I feel like the new LHG is going to show gravity strings coming from quarks which I think will have a sub atomic entanglement with syntax then let the AI diddle with that field haha that's how we will keep everyone entertained
I could listen to him talk about grass growing and it would be most entertaining
We Plants are happy Plants
Static universe vs the Universe Itself.
who is this artist?
Man people have it in for Ward Cleaver
Did You Mean The Forms?
1:17:18 damn got it right!

He sounds tired with all his far out knowledge

Wow terence knows abt alex grey?
He was friends with him and his wife.
Wow love the art, brother Hendrix, Marley, Lenon, Ghandi. Tesla might be a made up character.
the lady laughing at like 55 min is like wtf man lol
Right! I like how nothing really stops his train of thought though.
like Geometry in Poetry
And the other way Around

Just Colours huh?

PRODUCE another ITERATION 🍏
I wonder why he didn't seem to see the darkside of too much information and too little wisdom? if he could see what became of the web he would be agast.
the EQUATION the entire web is still as rich and diverse as you choose to find it. The depravity that you’re referring to is a mirror of the dark parts of the collective unconscious. There is a lot of muddy waters in our head, and so we regurgitate it on the web.
u can hear he was aware of the darkside too. he just understands its dark and isnt worth his attention
Very poignant point about technology holding the answers to political problems at the end there
