More quotes by Terence McKenna
Psychedelic experiences and dreams are chemical cousins they are only different in degree.
Terence McKenna
The major adventure is to claim your authentic, true being, which is not culturally given to you. The culture will not explain to you how to be a real human being. It will tell you how to be banker, politician, Indian chief, masseuses, actress, whatever, but it will not give you true being.
Terence McKenna
Liberate yourself from the illusion of culture. Take responsibility for what you think and what you do.
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
I think what we have to do is convince people that matter is tacky.
Terence McKenna
We have outlived this embryo, this human cradle, and now it's time to be up and about the great business of becoming citizens of the galaxy and at home with our own heart.
Terence McKenna
I have nothing but scorn for all weird ideas other than my own.
Terence McKenna
Ultimate novelty must be a situation where all boundaries are dissolved.
Terence McKenna
Flying saucers are nothing more than miracles, and they occur essentially to bedevil science.
Terence McKenna
We are going through the eye of the needle make sure you leave what you don't need behind
Terence McKenna
I think the entire message of the psychedelic experience, which is basically the sine qua non of the rebirth of alchemical understanding, the very basis of that understanding is that nature seeks to communicate.
Terence McKenna
In a sense, what's happening is that the unconscious mind is a luxury the human species cannot afford at this point in our dilemma, and so the unconscious mind is simply rising into consciousness by being hardwired into this global infrastructure.
Terence McKenna
The sensory ratios that are being reinforced by the new electronic technology are like the sensory ratios that were in place fifteen thousand years ago. . . . Print imposes a condition on human mind which is now lifting.
Terence McKenna
Impressionism is simply twenty minutes into LSD.
Terence McKenna
Inform yourself, inform your children, talk to your friends! And let's try to make a better, stonier world than the one we inherited!
Terence McKenna
Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.
Terence McKenna
The world is not an unsolved problem for scientists or sociologists. The world is a living mystery.
Terence McKenna
Psychedelics are not flashlights into the chaos of the Freudian unconscious, they are tools for mathematically unpacking your mind into a higher dimensional space. In the Newtonian and print created space that we are walking around in you, are like a self extracting archive, that hasn't self extracted itself yet.
Terence McKenna
A history-stopping archetype is being released into the skies of this planet, and if we are not careful it will halt all intellectual inquiry in the same way that the Christos archetype halted intellectual inquiry in the Hellenistic Age.
Terence McKenna
The possibility seems to be that what we call styles, or what we call motifs, are actually categories in the unconscious.
Terence McKenna
