What is human nature in the absolute absence of nature?
– Terence McKenna
Below you will find a very thought-provoking 50-minute lecture by Terence McKenna, which he gave in 1989. The title comes from the fact that “the really important thing that can be done with psychedelics, in a generalised sense, is that they are inspiration for ideas and that when you are sailing out into the psychedelic dimension, you are sailing out into an ocean of ideas.” The goal is to come to important and conducive conclusions in that state that “you can wrestle into your intellectual life.”
By reclaiming the transformation of the felt experience of the self (through psychedelics), “we resolve hierarchical structures, and we actually emerge into our full expression as human beings.”
He poses an interesting question I thought was interesting to leave to you as food for thought. Imagine what you would make the world be like if it could be anything you wanted?
