Terence McKenna
The only evil that associates itself with mushrooms is taking too little.
Terence McKenna
In our own time, through integrative sciences like ecology and animal behavior and psychology we have re-understood what was forgotten during the reduction centuries of modern science.

Terence McKenna
Look at the reputation they gave him. [Giordano] Bruno without the pyre is a whiskey priest laying waste to the maids of Umbria.
Terence McKenna
Our theories are the weakest part of what we say. What we're working from is the fact of an experience which we need to make sense of.
Terence McKenna
The engineers of the future will be poets.
Terence McKenna
There's something in the Western mind that gets very nervous when you try to talk about the bedrock of ontology.
Terence McKenna
If the world is made of language, then you can hack it in the sense that you can hack code.
Terence McKenna
Shamanism is not some obscure concern of cultural anthropologists. Shamanism is how religion was practiced for its first million years. Up until about 12,000 years ago there was no other form of religion on this planet. That was how people attained some kind of access to the sacred.
Terence McKenna
The psychedelic experience is not a journey into the human unconscious, or into the ghost bards of our human civilization. It's a journey into the presence of the Gaian mind.
