Guest speaker: Terence McKenna

PROGRAM NOTES:


[NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.]

“I think if we ever tease apart this psychedelic thing, what we'll discover is it's an inter-species communication system.”

“I'm at war with the keepers of the secrets.”

“One of the motivations for my career is to get other people to check [DMT] out, because here is truly confounding data that you don't have to make an expedition to the heart of the Amazon, or battle your way through hours of waves of nausea and dark spaces, chanting your mantra obsessively. I mean, when you smoke DMT, 30 seconds later you're in the presence of the unspeakable, and the show is going full blast.”

“It really frustrates me when people have psychedelic experiences and don't talk about them, because to me, that's what they're for. They're to fertilize the enterprise of communication. It's to be talked about. And if it's not talked about it's sort of like seeds which fall on sterile ground.”

“I think that the world is held together by a misunderstanding.”

“The real trick with an extraterrestrial is to know when you're in the presence of one.”

“If you want the real thing, it's just five dried grams away. The REAL THING!”

“The New Age, generally I find, is somewhat obnoxious, because it's a flight from the psychedelic experience.”

“I love science. I just think it's incredibly pretentious and has claimed too much.”

“It's astonishing the cul de sacs into which the human mind has wandered.”

“The psychedelic thing speaks to freedom, and so you can shine that on a number of issues.”
