ekimbell Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - i no longer do drugs at all. i had experiences that were shockingly different and bad. i encourage you to seek the Lord in prayer and meditation daily in service, and remember that humility and thankfulness are our great friends.whatever happens, seek prayer always

ekimbell Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - regardless, open your heart to God, and put the Lord first remember this always. everything derives from him who is in us, through us, around us, beyond us,and beyond that. give praise to the Lord always and forever.

ekimbell Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - no human experience on either extreme can match the greatness and depths of The Lord with his people after this life.man all that which was given to him can be given wonderful and unimaginable experiences, but still, not to be compared with the true depths of the Lord

Aug 20, 2008 - if anyone ever demonstrated the adage "there is a thin line between genius and insanity" it would be this guyif you dont think so wait until december 13, 2012

wjherin Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - could someone more familiar with mckenna please explain is this 12-20-2012 supposed to be the "apocalypse" in the sense of the world ending or some sort of major upheavel in world society?either way i'm sceptical

Strenovitj Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - He thinks that the world wont end, but our notion of reality will be completely destroyed. I think he believes we're gonna discover time travel, and from that day on "reality" will mean nothing.

Strenovitj Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Are those Creed lyrics or something? Grow a pair.

Aug 20, 2008 - i remember waking myself up from the reality dream with psilocybin, that infinite rainbow consciousness that i witnessed, it was impossible, it was god...it was me.

Psychiceleb Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - So why not do it with your own mind rather than with drugs that distort the clairty of the perceptive processes? I tried both and the one that yielded the most "fish" as it were, was that which was free of the psychedelic influence. Nahu

Aug 20, 2008 - so you say the experince of a mushroom is not a natural ability? these things have been with mindkand since they exist. sure astral projection is one of the cool natural abilitys there are) with foods or your mind

Ab4kus Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Why do we always talk about "the world" ending? As if there is no other place to go for us?Since all there is is energy, we, to our knowledge, cannot be destroyed, our "death" is just another transformation in a bigger life we do not fully comprehend yet. We will be born again, we will die again, this process will continue far beyond the existance of this planet we currently inhabit. Don't experience it as an end but as an experience.

Aug 20, 2008 - because they are tools to help us reach the level of consciousness that we are seeking. Once we are to the plateau that we are seeking, then we will be done with the use of these compounds because we will be able to achieve the level of consciousness that we were trying to achieve in the first place. Psychedelics just help us on the journey to the top of the plateau. Lest we forget, the society we are born in is rather boring, and something that can help us achieve this self createdculture doit

Aug 20, 2008 - true 100%

enjoi62137 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - wow, fucking great. I understand exactly what he's talking about. Terence McKenna explains psychedelics so well, it's hard to explain a psychedelic experience or use of,in just words.

spoocyguy Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - i'm not sure it's been proved yet that the pineal gland secretes dmt during REM sleep...

moeron21 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Actually that HAS been proven, the argument lies in the actual interaction DMT has on the brain.

spoocyguy Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - how did you come to believe it's been proven. how can you tell the pineal gland is secreting heavier amounts during rem sleep which some say help create the dreams we have.

jeffeezy Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I love mckenna, some of his videos are on his books so that makes it kind of hard to watch, I wsih my town had a library. One of the greatest minds of our generation, like Leary being slightly underground

Psychedelic000 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - The things he had to say in this video are very general and it seems as if he's drifting off the subject a bit and not able to fully answer and address what he's speaking about.

crackmunch Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - well,it's a vast subject. How can he be specific about such an abstract thing as psychedelics?If you want details, read his books.

zanussi303 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - really!?...i sure he was very able to articulate the message and far greater than nearly anyone else... ever
