I still cant find anything that I have heard Terence McKenna say that I can point to and say Hah! In other words I still agree with him.

Just go and blow the buggers up that should sort them!.

he was an extremely charismatic & magnetic speaker. A fact of which he was very well aware. This is why he was so wary that the physcadellic movement not turn into a cult.

It is possible for our minds to turn in endless circles – sometimes these are our own folly, sometimes we are swept into larger media or group driven streams of thought that lack any discernible positive purpose.
eg.I have just wasted my whole day on self generated negative psuedo thought imaginings – what a waste of all that I really possess – my mind thru time.
It was within my power to have a much more generative and replenishing passage of thoughts….

even if truth lies in uncertainty, we cant be apathetic towards everything just because were unsure of its very existencegotta invest faith in some kind of reality
February 7th, 2010 at 9:12 am
the idea that reality is established by the group is also interestingthe film blow-up really plays with that conceptand I suppose what hes saying is for us to not just get consumed by abstractions, yet apply them in meaningful ways to meaningful things in our world, since whether or not thats all there is, its all we know and this is where we can act, where we can have an influencenot just think, yet do

like one might generate certain features of reality as he sees it purely from his internal consciousness, and believe them to exist in the external world, whether or not they exist to othersalso, certain features of the external world may for some reason not be sensed by a person, so for him, it doesnt exist, it isnt realso the union is not faulty, just not perfectthis is what makes reality so malleable i guess
February 7th, 2010 at 10:25 am
yeah…the whole idea of reality is a really uncertain thing, it could be approached in many ways, and described by many models, many of which have aspects that are interesting to think about, and maybe we will never truly know reality, yet rather only be able to think about it, reflect on it…the union you described is interesting to consider…also interesting is to note that the union is not perfect…

take one away (our filter), and there is no reality anymore. so there is no “real” Reality at all actually.

well, i cant remember what point t actually was trying to make but i would say that youre right in that its not actually possible to experience anything other than abstraction since all sense-data are filtered through our individual cognitive make-up, the result of which we perceive as reality. so it seems impossible to experience Reality, as it is. Rather, reality is that which is, when “external” world meets “internal” consciousness, reality seems to be the union of the 2.

and i’ve just always thought of abstraction as a beautiful thing, uniquely human, the core of creativity, enabling us to address topics and come up with ideas that can only be approached with abstractionwhether or not it gives us the truth on different matters, it seems like the highest order of thought on which to at least try to gain insight
February 7th, 2010 at 11:54 am
he, towards the end of this piece, seems to really paint ‘abstraction’ in a poor, even destructive light, saying it distracts us or prevents us from seeing what is real, when it could be that all reality is perceived by us through abstraction, meaning we don’t just purely sense the world, we interpret the sense signals we receive though abstraction…so is there really any way to get around that? any other way?
February 7th, 2010 at 12:25 pm
abstraction is anything that is not concrete, of a physical nature. every thought is abstract
February 7th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
what is meant by abstraction?

Im always thinking of ways to help nature return. If you stop the culture farming meat you can plant trees in the fields. Food should come from small organic farms.

I believe this an an excerpt from the “Shamanism of the Amazon” series featuring Nicole Maxwell.

“As a society we cannot seem to be in peace with nature, as indivuduals we cannot seem to be in peace with ourselves”
A crisis in conciousness indeed.

I love you, Terence. You are missed and always needed…keep speaking to us. Your dear friend Rupert Sheldrake was stabbed yesterday by a “nutter” in Santa Fe. He will be ok, dr. stemmed the bleeding quickly. I know you are dead and won’t read this but I share it in hopes…
