More quotes by Terence McKenna
As I see it, Being, the Cosmos, whatever you want to call it, is a struggle between two implacable forces: Novelty on the one side and habit on the other side.
Terence McKenna
'Drugs' and psychedelics are not two members of a family, they are antithetically opposed to each other. The pro-psychedelic position is an anti-drug position.
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
Only responsible human beings can exist in an anarchistic society.
Terence McKenna
I think that's the job of each of us - to show our best toys and our best tricks that lift us and our friends to higher and higher levels. There is no end to this bootstrapping process. The future of the human mind and body and the future of humans together is endlessly bright.
Terence McKenna
The obligation on us is to communicate the truth so that it is understood. The belief will take care of itself.
Terence McKenna
The immediate future of man lies in the imagination and in seeking the dimension where the imagination can be expressed.
Terence McKenna
The history of man that you don't know is what your unconscious is made out of.
Terence McKenna
If you don't have a plan, you become part of somebody else's plan.
Terence McKenna
The shaman is the figure at the beginning of human history that unites the doctor, the scientist and the artist into a single notion of care-giving and creativity.
Terence McKenna
Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
Terence McKenna
I'm not an advocate of drugs. I'm an advocate of psychedelics.
Terence McKenna
I believe that the place to search for extraterrestrials is in the psychic dimension.
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
This is a general comment that you should take a committed dose of whatever it is you're taking so that there is no ambiguity, because there's nothing worse than a sub-threshold psychedelic experience.
Terence McKenna
And I don't mean this metaphorically. I want to be taken seriously as proposing that the ennui of modernity is the consequence of a disruptive symbiotic relationship between ourselves and vegetable nature.
Terence McKenna
Plants seem like an excellent model for the kind of future that we should be building.
Terence McKenna
I think really what unites psychedelic people is the faith in the power of the imagination.
Terence McKenna
We can no longer have forbidden areas of the human mind, or cultural machinery. We have taken upon ourselves the acquisition of so much power that we now must understand what we are. We cannot travel much further with the definitions of man that we inherit from the Judeo-Christian tradition. We need to truly explore the problem of consciousness.
Terence McKenna
We have to recognize that the world is not something sculptured and finished, which we as perceivers walk through like patrons in a museum the world is something we make through the act of perception.
