    Note: I'm still sitting on so many unheard McKenna talks I want to share with you, but as I'm no longer getting monthly payments from TH-cam which was my main job for years, it's really difficult to focus on the many projects related to the channel so please consider supporting me on Patreon, thank you!

The CIA is behind loads of drugs, how else do you explain their proliferation - there was a breakaway group in the 60s due to their trying LSD, who are not 'mainstream' CIA. You may as well say McKenna is CIA etc inttl too, otherwise how could he and others openly talk about taking drugs.....there's white knights and dark knights in the CIA, double and triple agents; see Leary's book The Intelligence Agents. Have you read any of his books?! Why would mainstream CIA want anyone to think such things, he even wrote about starseeds first. You may as well say the whole new age is intl.

    "I had deflected his intention, and substituted my own, just as he had substituted their intention and substituted his own." And, as it turns out, the Seychelles is this infinite nexus of the space/time continuum, one of those places where we meet to face our karma together. You cannot escape your destiny. Be careful what you wish for, and as Terrence rightly admonishes us, watch out what you say. Words are like arrows, once released they take on a life of their own. On my fifteenth birthday I was at my older brothers apartment where he was throwing a little party for his younger brother. One of the guests gave me a gram of Strawberry Mescaline. I had never done powdered psychedelics before, and ask him what a moderate dosage might be? He replied "Eat all of it, its not that strong." So I did, dutifully obeying this older hippie friend of my brothers. A guy who had just returned from a two year stint in the Navy, where he had spent much of his time in the Philippines, must know what he's talking about and can surely be trusted. He turns his back to me, and then a moment later asks if I could share some of the gram with him and his sister. "I just ate it." To which he say's. "You just ate it? You just ate all of it? That was enough for ten or twelve people. Please tell me your kidding, I was only joking." Unfortunately I wasn't kidding, fortunately we had a keg of beer to drink. Moral of the story? Watch out what you tell people, they might act on it.
    Peace

      @@scottlandyard4264 You may have a less than accurate picture of what to expect from the psychedelic/entheogenic experience. I don't mean to disillusion anyone, however, there is a great deal of misunderstanding and misconception about drug experiences in general and psychedelic drug experimentation in particular.
      I have to assume that you are experienced. lol Anyway, the whole point of the power plants, and subsequent neurochemical discoveries since the end of the 19th century, is to expand consciousness, anything less and a person can find him or herself lost in the myriad delusions of the self. Psychedelic discoveries in the twentieth century coincided, within a few months, with the development of atomic power and nuclear weapons. These diametrically opposed opposites being the avatars of yin and yang manifesting in our time. Think about it.
      Seeking visions is pointless and self deceiving.
      To raise ones awareness and even to expand ones consciousness is the only cogent goal. There are a great many things a person would be remiss in accepting into their thinking. Looking to talk to a lesser god or to have a vision of one, are just more karmic chains. Liberation of the self, freeing ones soul, should be the only goal. In the process leaving the world in better shape than when you arrived. The only worthwhile goal is, in my mind, is to see the world become a technological/sociological/ecological paradise full of Saints, and holy men and women. Shaman isn't good enough. You really want to get high? Then why not reach high? To the highest! (Don't be scared. Fear rots the brain. Remember what C.G. Jung says in the Evanz/Wentz Tibetan Book of the Dead. He was telling the truth.)
      So you want visions? Sorry, my goal from the git go was God Almighty. Along the way I had a few visuals, but the first one, was I think, the most visually spectacular. I ate six hits of blue green blotter, on the third of July, 1972. And I watched in blissful fascination, as neon green, and neon pink, geometric snowflakes fell in my room for at least an hour. I remember thinking that I had better be quiet or I might wake my mom up, who upon entering my room would see all these multi-colored snowflakes falling from ceiling to floor, and with some anger ask, "Whose going to clean up this mess?!" It was then that I realized that only I could see my vision. That realization caused me to bust out laughing hysterically. leaving me rolling around the floor like a madman, which then woke my mother up who proceeded to enter my room. The fact that I had actually caused my mother to wake up due to my epiphany was even funnier than the first thought. And every thought after that funnier still. My poor mom thought I had finally cracked, the stress of my fathers early departure from this mortal coil too much for me to bare. Gratefully she left me on the floor, a blob of quivering nerves and muscles, a laughing mass that had, only a few hours earlier, been her beloved son.
      (My trip on the 31st of October, 1967 doesn't quite count as a vision quest as some hippie chicks dosed me. Me an eight year old.) But really, you not only have to get through the six main chakras, but the audio and optical chakras as well. Until then you may find yourself always jonesing to feed the eyes. Good luck satiating that hunger. Be Here Now.
      Peace

      @@stefanschleps8758 I get exactly what you’re saying and I don’t think psychedelics should be used to just have a fun time and see cool visuals. But when your talking about transcending your consciousness there are definitely alternate realities and dimensions created by God and other entities that aren’t gods but aren’t human and have different qualities that you can see and meet. Because and im sure you know because of your experience the universe is so vast and works on such a grand scale that no mortal could even comprehend or be able to hold even a 1/4th of everything that’s goes on.

    out of all the poseurs
    pretending reciting
    retreading others
    story lines learned
    from various books
    scribbled by tattles
    terrance is primal
    example of the
    ancient art of
    setting it free
    as oral history
    before the first
    cave man drew
    there was vocal
    vibrational sound
    frequency patterns
    grouped into particular
    meanings becoming
    fluent by context as
    dynamic lexicon
    terrance is so
    utterly refreshing
    better to listen to
    than most others
    definitely in a
    league of his
    own design
