Terence McKenna - Existence Beyond The Grave

Terence McKenna speech given in the open probably at Palenque in Mexico, year unknown. Terence talks about the entities in another dimension and gets simultaneously poignant and inspiring many times throughout the lecture.

""What we are on the brink of learning as a culture is that our terror of death is a misapprehension of how the universe works. I mean, we're like caterpillars, contemplating pupation and saying: My God, nothing could be worse! No longer will I chew on the cabbage leaves, no longer will I spend my time moving around on the underside of foliage, instead something horrible and unimaginable. I don't want to become a chrysalis and lie still, and exhibit no sign of life. And the caterpillar never notices, unless there are shaman caterpillars, that what are these miraculous creatures moving through the air?"

"Where we really want to be is naked, singing in the rainforest, stoned, and exulted. One with the souls of the ancestors, one with the Gian spirit of the planet." - Terence McKenna

I like how Terence says he's not a chemist, but then gives the most technical chemical answer.

"Nature is offering reassurance, and saying, ‘If you would but turn away from the masturbatory activities of secular civilization, all nature seeks to speak to you of the completion of the plan, of the glorious hope that lies ahead.’"

Big up my multi dimensional entities 🙏

Incredible! One of the best TM talks ever! 👍❤️🙏

[ianjohnson]

Most life changing talk I've heard from him yet

[GenX]

So amazing. The DMT trolls are souls. Such fun! We are transitioning into a new dimension like caterpillars turning to butterflies. Love it!

Intense Ending! „Valentina Wasson was the first to suggest given psychedelics to dying people. Great idea! Who isn‘t dying?..“

[alicemorrison]

Bless that woman and her wise laughter.

Wow. I think this is the talk I always most wanted to hear from Terence. Thanks so much, . Happy Plants, for making it available. All his talks are great, but this one is special. It answered, point for point, every question I had left about where Terence was ultimately coming from. What a great series this must have been...

Love this art (and all of your other video art). Would love to see more blending of McKenna and Star Wars. I find the force to be more and more psychedelic as I get older.
