More quotes by Terence McKenna
We are like coral animals embedded in a technological reef of extruded psychic objects...All our tool-making implies our belief in an ultimate tool.
Terence McKenna
The real nature of our predicament is completely opaque to us.
Terence McKenna
I regard these people who are peddling angst and peddling pessimism and all that stuff as so 'two minutes ago'.
Terence McKenna
I think really what unites psychedelic people is the faith in the power of the imagination.
Terence McKenna
Television is, to my mind, the most insidious drug that the 20th Century has had to deal with.
Terence McKenna
If you don't have a plan, you become part of somebody else's plan.
Terence McKenna
One of the things that people don't do enough of when they do psychedelic work is spend time in the library.
Terence McKenna
Even a billion people is too much. There's no way back to the simplicity we once knew, but there may be a way forward to the simplicity that we once knew.
Terence McKenna
I'm not an abuser. It takes me a long time to assimilate each experience. And I never have lost my respect for it. I mean I really feel dread. It is one of the emotions I always feel as I approach it, because I have no faith that my sails won't be ripped this time.
Terence McKenna
Science is the exploration of the experience of nature without psychedelics. And I propose, therefore, to expand that enterprise and say that we need a science beyond science. We need a science which plays with a full deck.
Terence McKenna
Worrying is betting against yourself.
Terence McKenna
I think that understanding man's place in nature is going to require integration of the psychedelic experience.
Terence McKenna
The culture cannot evolve faster than the language. The language is the flashlight that shows the path.
Terence McKenna
History is the in-rushing toward what the Buddhists call the realm of the densely packed, a transformational realm where the opposites are unified.
Terence McKenna
What we call three dimensional space, and what we call the imagination actually have a contiguous and continuous transformation from one into the other, ... and THIS is big news!
Terence McKenna
The central figure in the archaic revival is the shaman.
Terence McKenna
We're not dropping out here, we're infiltrating and taking over.
Terence McKenna
We are an intelligent species caught in an historical process. No generation which proceeded us knew what was going on, and there is no reason to assume that we know what's going on or that the generation which follows us will know what's going on. And what kind of trip is it anyway to insist on knowing what's going on?
Terence McKenna
Psychedelics are probably responsible for every aspect of human evolution apart from the decline in bodyhair.
Terence McKenna
There is no liberation to compare with freeing oneself from the illusions and delusions of the age in which one lives.
Terence McKenna
