191-McKenna: "The Ethnobotany of Shamanism" Part 5

hagerty@matrixmasters.com (Lorenzo) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:35:22 GMT

This brings to a conclusion the series of recordings from a Terence McKenna workshop that he led over the weekend of November 5-7, 1988 at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). One of the more fascinating questions that he answers is, "How do you remember to bring back what you've learned?" And his answer, dealing with state-bounded memory, is something I hadn't thought of before. And like the preivous four programs in this series, Terence again peppers this one with provocative thoughts such as, "This is in fact what shamanism is all about, what the end of history is all about, what psychedelic drugs are all about, we are edge-walking on an ontological transformation of what it means to be human."

190-McKenna: "The Ethnobotany of Shamanism" Part 4

hagerty@matrixmasters.com (Lorenzo) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 18:17:33 GMT

This week we pick up with Terence fielding questions about the visions he sees on various substances and where he thinks they come from. One of his more controversial comments this week may be: "The psychedelic experience is the beginning of the spiritual path. That's why it's not important that yogas claim that they can deliver you the psychedelic experience, because it begins with the psychedelic experience, and then you go from there."

189-McKenna: "The Ethnobotany of Shamanism" Part 3

hagerty@matrixmasters.com (Lorenzo) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:01:49 GMT

We continue with a Terence McKenna workshop recorded on the first weekend of November in 1988. The workshop was conducted at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. One of the more interesting segments of this talk is that it is one of his clearest public statements regarding the relative merits of natural psychedelics vs. synthetic ones. And his opinion on November 6, 1988 was, "I really think there is a very large distinction between synthetic and naturally occurring drugs." ... He also goes on to say, "I have never felt that the primary use of these things [psychedelic medicines] was to cure what is called in modern parlance neurosis, what I call unhappiness. It isn't for that."

188-McKenna: "The Ethnobotany of Shamanism" Part 2

hagerty@matrixmasters.com (Lorenzo) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 20:38:30 GMT

In today's podcast we pick up where we left off last week with Terence McKenna conducting a workshop in November of 1988. Among other topics, Terence begins his "World Tour of Psychedelic Plants". One of my favorite McKenna quotes from this talk is, "We now have no choice in the matter of business as usual. There will not, apparently, be business as usual." ... and then there is, "Every step into freedom contains within it the potential for greater bondage."

187-McKenna: "The Ethnobotany of Shamanism" Part 1

In today's podcast, which was recorded at a small workshop held at CIIS in San Francisco on November 5, 1988, we hear Terence McKenna talk about some of his boyhood experiences that he feels led him into the world of psychedelic exploration. And then he goes on to briefly describe his years of travel while posing as a butterfly collector, eventually leading him to the Amazon. He then goes on to give his 1988 version of what he thought the psychedelic experience actually was, and he reads the titles of some of his favorite books. Among other McKennisims in this podcast: "What it [investigating psychedelics] really requires is a love of the peculiar, of the weird, the bizarre, the étrange, the freaky and unimaginable."

hagerty@matrixmasters.com (Lorenzo) — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:13:02 GMT

Today's program features a talk by Terence McKenna that you can find elsewhere on the Net under the title "Vision Plants", but I thought that "Shamanism and the Archaic Revival" is more fitting. ... Among other provocative things McKenna has to say is, "Life lived in the absence of the psychedelic experience that primordial shamanism is based on is life trivialized, life denied, life enslaved to the ego."

This is the second half of McKenna's thoughts about James Joyce's novel, "Finnegan's Wake". But in a departure from where we left off in my previous podcast, Terence spins off on a tangent about Marshall McLuhan and ends with a rant about war and the evils of television.

This is part 1 of a talk given by Terence McKenna in which he deconstructs James Joyce's monumental novel, "Finnegan's Wake". Among other interesting observations McKenna makes is, "The reason I'm interested in it is because it's two things, clearly. 'Finnegan's Wake' is psychedelic, and it is apolyptic/eschatlogical."
