- Terence recounts stories from the Gospel of Thomas and other gnostic literature from the Nag Hammadi library, which paint a different picture of Jesus Christ than what is included in the Bible.
Terence's voice has a straaange vibration in this one, the tape was probably damaged. hopefully not too distracting...

What's the final music?

Synchronicity much
His voice is already so idiosyncratic, the tape flaw is not noticeably distracting
I take loong breaks from Terence lectures because I go on lengthy binges of hours at a time.
Omg same!!! Lmfao

I love how McKenna's views on Christ evolved over time. I love how McKenna got wiser and wiser as he aged!

Tape audio vibrato...classic. I think it makes this recording that much more precious.
I know this comment is old.. but could you possibly explain what causes this? Or maybe share a link with some information

Maybe I would still be going to church if Terrance McKenna was my preacher.
Amen.

@@seebthsideslikechane2501 How about the "The Secret History of Hallucinogens in Christianity" & "Sacred Mushroom And The Cross" & "The Holy Mushroom - Evidence of Mushrooms in Judeo-Christianity" 😏
One R in his name, sir. Cheers mate.
I found this video after engaging in a 2hr theological discussion. Many thanks
Awesome fragment, thanks for sharing!
Wonderful Bible study, thanks Terence!
The bush food incident is actually present in canonical books. He wants to eat from it, and can’t and he says just die so noone else can it from you ever again. It must have some spiritual meaning. Like if it is time when he needs your fruits and you don’t have it, then you are done. Well something like that.
...."and this rap went around the table"...Love Tarences use of word's. I really want to post this to FB. Can you imagine the comments. Love & light ✌
I think he meant it like "wrap" as in the bread perhaps?
There are actually two or more Gospels According to Thomas. The passage that Terrence McKenna was reading from is the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, but from the Nag Hammadi Library was another Gospel of Thomas which was a list of the sayings of Jesus. Both writings however do present a different version of Jesus than the familiar Jesus in the canonical gospels.
The infancy gospel is definitely strange with stories of the miracles of Jesus during his childhood. But the gospel of the sayings of Jesus has more parallels with the canonical gospels. But the gospel of the sayings is weird too. That gospel has no biographical material about Jesus, no birth, no miracles, no crucifixion, and no resurrection, and the disciples are just occasionally mentioned. It is just a list of Jesus' sayings. Some are familiar, but quite a few are different from any seen from canonical sources, and a few of these sayings were known from the writings of early Church fathers. For example one such saying goes: "Whoever is near to me is near to fire, but whoever is far from me is far from the kingdom." This particular saying is found in some writings of the Church fathers. But others were completely unknown to modern Christianity or very different from the familiar versions in the Bible. For example one such saying goes: "Blessed is the lion whom the man kills and eats for that lion will become a man, but accursed is he whom the lion shall kill and devour and that man becomes a lion." and another example "I took my stand in the midst of the world and in flesh I was seen of the human race, but I found none that were thirsty among them because they were all drunk. Thus my soul was pained and afflicted for the children of humanity that they are blind in their hearts and they do not see that empty they have come into the world, and empty they will leave it. And it is all because they are drunk. If only they would put away their wine and awaken from their slumber then they would repent."
The third part I think he means that when they don't take wine they need to take psilocybin
@@nextgenfootball69420 Well, I guess awakening by "squeegeeing the third eye" as comedian Bill Hicks would put it (with a dose of psilocybin or some other psychedelic ), might make people change their hearts and minds. Bill Hicks himself described his psychedelic experience in such terms and as one of "Divine healing."
TY for sharing this information. I've also read the Young Messiah by Ann Rice. This is just one book about Christ by her. It's possible that because of these stories you've mentioned, Rice picked up on the "strangeness " of the young Jesus. I find it fascinating & also liberating that the young Jesus was so in-tune with his miracles; wether they be good or bad.
@@nothinghere1996 Perhaps it is "blessed is the one whose soul consumes their ego, but cursed is one in whom their ego consumes their soul."
@@nothinghere1996 I'm not so sure that a person cannot lose their soul. I'm not sure my experiences would be possible if my soul were intact. I think our expressions of re-interpreting the lion/man analogy are on the same page though really. Peace brother.
My mind is melting.
I always thought Ned Flanders sounds like Terence McKenna, but this time, Terence Mckenna sounds like Ned Flanders 😁
The word weird actually is giving praise to one of the 3 sisters of norn. Depicted as 3 witches in the movie Hercules.
Thank you man. You know, I bought the Gospel of Thomas, and what I found in there was hard to understand, but still very interesting. Many sayings and teachings from Jesus as an adult to his apostles. Even the explanations they gave for every part of it was hard to understand. But I didn't know there was a gospel about Jesus's childhood given by Thomas. I discovered that thanks to this video. I'm extremely interested in the life and message of Jesus.
That's precious content to my heart :)
The more I read about what was written on Jesus, the less I understand how so many people claim he never existed..
God Bless You 😇
@material pattern If you can't define yourself, then do you believe in anything ?
Any idea on the reason for life ? I'm sure you have your own beliefs or else you have no clue and don't really care as long as nobody bothers you with their own thoughts.
I had an urge to find answers, I looked into different "religions" or spiritual movements, New Age, Hinduism, Islam.
I even believed in a couple of them. I still was very ignorant, so i kept searching, and before I could say "let's see what christiannity is all about. I saw Christ everywhere in my researches that were not related to Christiannity.
At some point I thought, since I keep seeing Christ, but I really don't know about Him, I'll now take some time to study the Bible and everything around it.
Never before anything made so much sense, never before I cried while reading a book. Everybody in my family is an atheist and none of my friends is a christian.
Nothing pushed me into Christiannity from the life I lived. Science was the only explanation to me before that.
After I felt feelings I had never known before while going through christian ancient texts, I understood it came from my heart. No other litterature ever did that to me.
The only logical response was to believe in Christ and search for signs that he was real, but the only signs we can get are life experiences from people who turned christian overnight or dedicated Christians who found themselves in the Presence of the Lord. But from there, one has to trust their word, and that's one of the gatekeepers which prevents people from considering for a minute that Christ is our Lord.
Thre is one quick thing you can do to see who wins the battle.
Go type in your youtube search bar
> From New Age to Islam
>From New Age to "ENTER RELIGION"
Then compare how many results you'll find that match your research and keywords. How many people talk about their experience, and how many times the religion you picked is mentioned.
Finally, Type in
>From New Age to Jesus
You'll find a significant amount of testimonies, way more than for any other religions. To me, it can't be a coincidence. People are being saved from false beliefs and come back to the Father after figuring out their were on the wrong path.

It's heaven and Earth as though the fall never happened.
@@moonwatch7963 Have you ever imagined that the fall of mankind is a process and perhaps still happening? Maybe it's like a season type of thing? Then after the fall is completed a different season starts, perhaps one like Winter in which mankind will rest. After that we'll enter Spring in which we'll renew and in Summer we'll start the process of ascending again.
The Eucharist was nothing new. It's the miracle of the loaves and the majority of all ancient stories: deity being torn asunder and distributed to a lower realm.
Well that shed a whole new ligh on the phrase “you are what you eat”. The phrase is so true that it’s stranger than you can imagine

Probably reference material stuff from Berkeley he is mixing up with Nag Hammadi
I do believe he was on the silk road

Oi, você é brasileiro ?

You think they haven't eaten me, I'm very aware of it.
I'm really attracted to the Bible and Jesus but somehow I can't take it serious when I start to read
You don't need to take it serious. Its a series of stories
There was a time when only few people could read and write,and stories from a book was serious enterainment.
Like the news today.People believe in good stories.
@@Teleterkji that's what I call whiny words..unlike the news today..people believe what they want to believe..societies have reached dangerous levels of unthruth so normally the truth bothers them..
There is not one original concept or idea in the entire Bible. It's also entirely allegorical. The surface stories are structures which carry deeper meanings. Adam and Eve is not about a girl who got tricked into eating a piece of fruit by a talking snake (and now we're all going to Hell.) Cheers

@@fromthepeanutgallery1084 i would disagree bro, in my opinion all religions are just words, written by men as a sort of cultural good night story. ”God” is just a concept i think, not really real but ok/good to use sometimes for the sake of simplicity/ understanding.
@@fromthepeanutgallery1084 th-cam.com/video/iC6DDvzM6Nc/w-d-xo.html
All I can think of is that reality is pure consciousness; that only Anokhi exists, purely
and solely. That what we have is ascending degrees of perception, and the ultimate is perception of
pure consciousness “out there”!
I can express the essence of it: reality refers to something above, beyond and outside itself; it is
(literally is) an idea about something else; it is not so much information but an idea or concept of
something beyond it (itself). Hence I discerned info “recorded” or “encoded” into/on it. What I have
been missing is: this causes reality-not just to be a vehicle for info-but, as a vehicle, to be caused to
refer to something outside itself. Thus it signifies (as what is seen) what is not seen, and this (my notseen) is my surd. And I know what that (surd) is: it is God impinging on reality (but distinct from it,
Spinoza to the contrary). Hence this is why I saw “pretextual cause” and “camouflage”; this (new)
concept subsumes both these earlier perceptions/conceptions
I'm a Christian with a straaange vibration. It's difficult. 😕
What do you mean? What are ur issues let’s work through it
Hahaha
This is fascinating. I never knew about this side of Jesus (though I was aware of Jesus being portrayed as a mere man in Gnostic texts).. However, with all the Mandela Effects related to the Bible, I'm skeptical of everything I read now (seriously, "the wolf shal lay down with the lamb"?? It was always "the lion shall lay down with the lamb".. There are only about a million references to it in our culture, yet those words were never written in history.) I wonder how McKenna would try to explain the Mandela Effect.. Glitches in the Matrix, maybe?

Actually it didn’t even take years at all for the church fathers to understand the beautiful and miraculous sacrament.
Over the course of 3 years I listened to McKenna every single day. My work was solo cleaning, and I'd put my headphones in and listen to him for 3 hours. Then go home and turn on a lecture before I went to bed. I was a mushroom fanatic and dabbled heavily in it. I watched his documentary, read his book. I was a huge fan. Here's the conclusion I've reached about.
This man is a wizard distracting you with his charm, intellect, cleverness, and ability to maneuver around the English language in a way not many can.
He's veiling truth, there's specific reasons the books of the nag Hammadi weren't included. It's because they claim you must do good things in order to achieve salvation through Jesus. The Bible is claiming the only thing you can do is confess with your mouth Jesus is God.
Gospel of Thomans 1:114 "1:114
Simon Peter said to him, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life."
Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven."
Mckenna is preaching the gospel of today's society. Making the male and female one. As above so below. The unification of opposites. (good & evil). In a discussion with Ram Dass, Mckenna told everyone he wants to take the tail of the snake and put it in it's mouth. Ouroboros, which is rebirth, immortality, and cycles. Our society claims we can be God. And that's the ouroboros Mckenna is attempting to awaken in us. To repeat the cycles of histories passed, by straying away from Jesus. And the nag hammadi reveals Mckenna is much more open to a leader that isn't God, and that preaches God is the same as man and man is the same as God.
Be careful with Mckenna.
If you read the Wikipedia article on the Gospel of Thomas you find that the dating is far from certain it is argued that this Gospel borrows from the Canonical Gospels such as Luke, which would give the work a late composition.
What is the relevance of that? It was likely rejected hundreds of years later, at the Councils of Nicea, and either an earlier or later date than other gospels really has no bearing on its relevance to early Christianity. It demonstrates that "Church fathers" of the establishment rejected and suppressed certain gospel stories, and if you don't believe they had Divine guidance, the whole house of cards starts to collapse. The "earlier or later debate" is small potatoes compared to the revelation of the very existence of the Gospel of Thomas.
There are two different gospels of Thomas. The one Terence is talking about is the one that contains childhood stories of Jesus, not the "sayings" gospel of Thomas.
I honestly believe that Terence McKenna is a reincarnation of Thomas the doubter
First of all I just love the guy to death & I know this may sound like a crazy strange thought, but please bear with me

From someone who lived as a Christian, to other Christians, I have this to say; the sooner you forget about the Christian stories, the better you will be (emotionally, mentally, etc).
I think it can be useful to remap the christian symbols by understanding their broader and likely deeper meanings through the use of meditation or other, more effective methods. The christian ethos has an undeniable impact on Western culture, so I don't think it's possible to actually forget, in most cases. It's better to realize that there isn't an authoritarian god judging you for your thoughts and actions...unless, of course, that's how you restrict your own thoughts, punishing yourself for sinning or thinking sins...then I suppose that type of god does exist.
To some a story, to others revelation.

(114) Simon Peter said to him, "Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life." Jesus said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven." The gospel of Thomas Logion 114 - christianity really gets funky with what the actual "christ" was saying

"There is enough evidence to support Jesus was someone's follower" in my opinion if he was following anyone it was Buddhist monks because Jesus only came on the scene 500 years after the Buddha's enlightenment and the teachings are parallel I truly believe Jesus was the reincarnation and second coming of the Buddha.
Paramahansa Yogananda speculated on Jesus prior lifetime, and he said that John the Baptist was the prophet Elijah, and that Jesus was his disciple Elisha. Whether there is truth in that or not nobody can know, but Yogananda was a highly evolved being with great intuition and spiritual gifts, so perhaps he was correct.
He sounds sick. I've noticed in interviews and lectures closer to his death, his voice started getting a little deeper. This must have been one of his last speeches.

When I saw the Grail this morning (5:30 A.M.) I did not see it per se; I did not, either,
see it created out of nothing. I saw an ordinary physical normal every-day cup already in world
affected by God; the cup in a sort of mist of color-the space around the cup as mist-like colors; and
this cup became the Grail; it changed; it was made into (?) the Grail, and it did not just seem to me to
be the Grail; it was the Grail; it was what I would say converted into spirit, a spiritual thing:
“Grailified,” so to speak. Light did not emanate from it; it was transfigured by a sort of material light
that showed-displayed or was-colors. He must have a physical cup or cup-like object in, I guess,
our Lower Realm, to shape and mold and change and transform and “Grailify.” The spiritual, then, is
not opposed to or separate from the physical; it is as if the physical and mundane exists to be thus
spiritualized.
The physical, material world, then, is not truly disjunctive to the other realm but points to it as a
sign and under certain circumstances-a state of Grace-can be so read: as to what it refers to, is or
bears (carries) information about.
I found myself thinking, “This is the Medieval World View,” and then I realized, “No! This is
what it aimed at.”
Yes, I think that's why it's being said by many that everything (including the inanimate) is spiritual. And if we treat it as such, we will connect with everything around us and become one with it.

Jesus was Jewish, and any references he made to following faith, law, or the sabbath were in reference to the Jewish faith, Jewish Law, and the Jewish Sabbath.

They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12. and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

Terrence is smart but he underestimates Christianity. Jesus was fully man and fully God, but that doesn't mean he knew everything from infancy. Jesus is the Son of Man because he incarnates logic, not because he was born knowing every objective fact from birth like a trivia God. As an infant he would've been like any other but his path of transformation was perfect, so he matured in the most honest possible way. A perfect man still has to learn from experience. Morality is something that develops, just as it does in the Old Testament. Jesus having teachers doesn't conflict with him being God it actually makes a lot more sense because even if you were born with perfectly unbiased deductive and inductive reasoning it doesn't mean you would notice every possible thing at once or have the fastest cognition. You can be a creative genius and have 80 IQ, the point of Christ is that it doesn't matter how smart he is, its that his wisdom is complete.
Exactly, hence the mystery of Mary losing him at the temple: That the juvenile Christ was teaching the doctors of the temple at a young age, and they were astonished at his learned wisdom, yet when Mary asked him why he would allow her to go on without him, he replies, “Don’t you know that I am about my Fathers business?”
Even still, he submits himself to his Mother and goes on from the temple with her. Son of God? Yes, fully. Son of Mary? Yes, fully.

All other books besides the Bible are NOT the word of God!
We literally eat the flesh and drink the blood of mother Earth. Maybe the earth is Jesus.
Esmeralda Bouwer now thats a good idea
We are ALL Jesus Christ... Jesus was the Son of God, and humans are created in God's image... If Jesus is the Son of God, and is also human, that means we are all the Son of God, because we are created in his image.... When Jesus says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, the only way to Heaven is through me." What he is really saying is that the Kingdom of Heaven is inside all of us. Its up to us, as individuals, to find our own forgiveness within ourselves. We instinctively know the difference between right and wrong. We know whether we are good people or not...... Modern Christians take the Bible at face value. It goes much much deeper than that. Every verse of the Bible has a deeper metaphor. Every line has multiple hidden meanings.
You do realize most of the bible has been added to hundreds of years later, parts thrown, translated incorrectly, written in languages not fully understand etc....or maybe you don't
