I was really hoping that this interview would have gone into all the studies and work with Ayahuasca and psilocybin in the mental health and addiction fields.John Hopkins has done work in this field and it was very promising and beneficial. In the addiction part with cocaine and heroin there was an 80% rate of success of them Not going back to drug use. That's higher than any known program out there. In cases of severe depression and anxiety I believe it was 86% of them not having to come back for 6 months and up to 2 years after the initial 3 sessions with qualified professionals. These people who were interviewed all went into the spiritual aspects of how it helped them.He could have went in depth on why in these two particular fields its a bad idea to take the psychedelic properties out of the medicine. It's really a matter of big pharmaceutical companies not liking the idea that it takes so long for people to come back to buy a product. When they can take it apart and only sell you the chemical part of it so you keep coming back. I really love this channel but I feel short change with this particular interview

Terrence was the most brilliant mind of XX century, because he was a great messenger. He was so much ahead of his times, that some of his ideas are still to be rediscovered. He knew more about the nature of AI than we know today. I remember him talking about virtual machines in mid 90' and being basically lough at, and today the whole economy stands on VMs. Brilliant mind beloved by the people but somehow dismissed by intelligentsia, even his own brother.

Thank you for this presentation. "to remember how little we actually know... there's a lot that remains unknown." Here is an excerpt from Steps to Knowledge about staying open to "true instruction." "True instruction is available. It has been waiting for you to reach the point of maturity where you realize its necessity in your life. It is born of recognizing your limitations in light of that which is your true need. You must love yourself to become a student of Knowledge and continually love yourself to proceed. There is no other obstacle to learning but this. Without love, there is fear, for nothing else can replace love. But love has not been replaced, and true assistance is available to you." (Marshall Vian Summers, STK)

The Tibetan book of the Dead tells us that the visions sounds and experiences of the trip are come from within one's own creative intellect. Terence McKenna was convinced that there were external entities that were communicating to him. This will be an interesting program.

Doubt,

I used to think science provided the best model of reality and used to have a head full of riveting tidbits I'd read from Scientific American (and SA Mind). Then it became apparent to me how important thinking about what little I really knew was in connecting the dots and therein discovering missing links purely by being a thinking animal, a platonic rationalist, more than an empirical, sensing, "measuring" animal. Nowadays, while logical postivism is still an important pillar of my understanding of reality, philosophy and art have taken me closer to the nonphysical, immeasurable factors of reality, images of art and philosophy aren't limited to physicalism. What you see isn't what it is per se, but what it is filtered through your habitual tendencies of questioning. Psychedelics have made me change my definition of so many things...like what is experience, what is experienceable, or what can even be remembered and re presented, mediated through memory or symbols. In other words, unmediated reality may be impossible to communicate, impossible to fully experience if experience is something that must be remembered and represented consciously by my free will. A sense of wonder at the prodigy of every phenomenon has been better for my understanding of what is than easily sated curiosity. Curiosity becomes bored or short tempered when it doesn't have the answers whereas wonder is an endless well.

Always great to hear from Dennis, great questions, i felt a little strange when the interviewer claimed not to know about the experiment at La Chorera, highly reccomend the True Halucinations vid

I love both Terence and Dennis McKenna. To my mind, Terence got caught in the web of his imagination and Dennis got caught in the web of his reason. The magic is more than merely the sum of the Brothers McKenna. The magic is the balanced and Holistic understanding and integration of the information that they both shared with us.

1:20:00 It’s not just reductive materialism that is the reason people are working on finding a psychedelic without the trip. It’s partly coz the cost of assisted therapy is enormous… 12 sessions including 3-4 x8hours with two clinicians. That’s the current protocol model and will cost up to $20,000 here in Australia.

Good Show, I often think these medicines gave humans the insights way back when to advance forward, I think there is a reason why our brains are wired so to speak to readily acccept these substances.

He didn't attribute false ideas "entirely" to psychedelics. His opinion is that not all epiphanies experienced in an altered state of conciousness are legitimate and one should contemplate the validity of the ideas attained during a psychedelic experience for several sober ddays. He never claimed that every new idea that one gains under the influence is invalid. He simply implied that it's important to differentiate the legitimate from the fantasy. He mostly spoke of the beneficial aspects of psychedelic experiences so it's curious that your comment misrepresented this conversation in such a specific way.

Thanks for this!!! 😊

After a bad trip I was in a delusional state for a couple years. I couldn't ask other people around me to ground me because I didn't fully believe they existed. I fell into solipsism, and I strongly suspected others were just aspects of me. I kept it together, but inside I was lost. Now I still value psychedelics, but I don't take the visions literally.

I use as much wisdom and careful consideration to judge what an entity thinks as well as what an academic thinks. My religious instincts are correct 100x more often than any atheist I've ever talked to.

Great great episode!

I can't believe you got Dennis McKenna on the podcast! Not sure if this would stray too far from your channel's theme since he focuses more on mycology, but maybe you could have Paul Stamets on, as well? It would be interesting to hear him go into detail on how extraordinary fungi is, it's capabilities (like that one experiment where it was slime molds, I believe, that was able to navigate a maze "intellectually"), health benefits of fungi, or how it could be used for fighting climate change, or how his perspective of the world has been influenced by studying mycology, but also by his use of psychedelics.

Reflection and connecting with one's inner emotional landscape occurs ideally in the ABSENCE of mind/mood altering substances. The non-psychedelic perspective shift occurs when one reconciles the internal psychological and emotional environment, with the external world around us and it changes the way one deals with day-to-day challenges. By external world I mean interactions with nature, animals, and other humans. Psychedelics might be useful for certain people, and its only one way, but certainly NOT the only way to connect with "Source."

Thanks man

The strangest thing, to me, is the "effect" wearing off; each time I take psilocybin I feel I have "awakened" achieved enlightenment. There is nothing more necessary beyond this. Each time I have the sense that I have reached a sustainable state of awareness - but each time...I come down. Go back to sleep. How can that be? Why??

Hyper associative right hemisphere activity is what psychedelics trigger.....but the sharp integration of the logical left is required to attenuate this. The asymmetrical relationship of the left and right is then sparked up....this harnesses the progressive track of development.

In ordinary reality, one can never avoid the concept of " chop would and carry water"

I loved this interview. Psychedelics without psychedelic effects... 😂 that's what pharma industry and governments wants: Make people feel better and be more productive, but without (often painful and challenging) learn- effects. So that you have to take it again and again 🤑, and don't change your mindset.

No link to the brain forest café podcast ?

When you get the message, hang up the phone, but be prepared to pick it up when it rings again.

Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Curt , if one compares the process of dreaming with the hallucinogenic experience one might surmise that both evolve a process of synaptic refreshment= board spectral firing and all sites, ergo hallucinations

Wow this is amazing!

Superb interview. Always the cleverer McKenna, although I love Terence I’ve always preferred to hear Dennis’s opinion on the trip, it’s more balanced.

Dennis is a wealth of knowledge, very interesting guy.
