A collection of Terrence Mckenna videos I made about psychedelics

[soaring peace]

but in his late 90's talks he is more like just going through the routine and delivering the standard M'cKenna experience that his fan base expected.

.

Coz thats exactly what he was doing. The man had bills to pay after all.

Fans of Terrance really should read Brotherhood of the screaming Abyss ; when he was dying Dennis tried to perform 'psychic surgery' on him. By that point Terrance went along more or less to humor him, his heart wasn't in it and he had lost faith in his own message long ago.

Not that any of this makes me like him any less. It takes a brave person to trek into the jungle the way he did. The passion in his early work warms the cockles of me heart and the TBOTSA really made me appreciate how the early hippies really were at odds with society in a way no other youth culture ever could be ( because they did all the hard work )

Terrance was a teller of tall stories, it was all meant to be taken with a pinch of salt. Even the early stories / work ( look to his account of his 1st trip on morning glories, seems way beyond what LSA has ever done to me for example )

The ultimate irony is the people that either put him on a pedestal or think less of him because he churned out what people wanted to hear to keep a roof over his head have missed the point entirely : that is question everything, trust no gurus weather they work in a lab or live in a teepee.

He was an interesting guy, a brave guy and even though his books are still on a shelf and his voice allover the net the world is a shittier place without him.

Mckenna would be the first person to tell you that he does not want to start a cult, or be put on a pedestal, all he wanted to do was to get people thinking about pretty far out things, as a scientist would think about things. He was very humble, and evolved his ideas over time as his older ones were shown wrong in his various groups. He addresses this point in this video.

He has a lot to say outside of the realm of psychedelics. The impression I get with him is that he did follow rules of scientific evidence and was not very easily lead into false dogma.
