Lovely to hear you talk about Terence. I have spent so many hundreds of hours listening to the extracts of his talks on the _We Plants Are Happy Plants_ YouTube channel, at the age of 67. I don't listen to him now, because in a way I think I have got the basic message, and if I were to keep listening to him it would stop me pursuing other explorations which are at the very frontiers of my life so they take priority. Nevertheless there will be times when I will go back to him just for old times' sake, just like listening to your very favourite music, like going back home. I really do feel he is part of my life, that much of the way in which I think has been moulded and liberated in a beautiful way by all those hours spent with him, a long time after he had already moved on, and, unfortunately, toward the end of my own life.

Three breaks up toxic trap of duality.
This is why the trinity.

You are so great Rupert and so is Terence.Thanks.

[giulias.]

Listening to you ignites my brain's synapses, no matter the topic. I am deeply grateful for your sharings Rupert, keep them coming pls!

I was just re watching some videos today with Terrance after many years, such an odd coincidence to see this video appear. I was reflecting on what it would be like to have him here today!

Lovely you have this great mind & spirit on and even more that you bring in our dear old friend Terrence as well. We love these men/teachers.

About 10 years ago I busted out your trialogues on a laptop while a friend and I were stuck on a closed and now black-ice covered Interstate-80 in the middle of Wyoming. Great conversations indeed.

[jessemontano]

Rupert, you and Terence are legendary.... I hope you have excellent holiday season...

[websurfer]

I just took a glance at Terence McKenna's astrological chart and yeah, he was born to be a superstar in whatever he pursued.

I'd love to hear what Terence would have to say about what's happening nowadays.

Living in desert S. West U.S. I often get animals on property, coyote's birds often and once a rare siting of a mountain lion about 20 yards from my house, only milliseconds away! Having backpacked avidly in remote wilderness areas, noticing how animals had this uncanny ability to see how I was seeing them, like they stepped behind my eyes, an instant connection when seen. Same with lion in my backyard, first I felt something then looked into a shadow under a tree and there it's large face loomed eye to eye intensely. This cat blended in the shadows perfectly like it knew how could I see it, could see in its mind my actual vision! Never run from a large predator, charge them loudly then they will retreat, you hope!

beautifully put Rupert. I miss the man - and I never met him. came across him totally randomly in 2005 in istanbul when I picked up a printed off script of his alien dreamtime talk and was absolutely blown away by it. I had no idea that people had the ability to think and talk like he did, of course few can - but he showed what was possible. 15 years later I still listen to him and feel like I know him. It must have been such a huge loss for his friends and family

I remember the week when Terrance passed away.. he was a friend of my mate.. and we had quite a party that weekend ;)

[jeffreyhughes]

I'm available for an interview when you're next in Melbourne, please consider!

[TerenceMcKennaOfficial]

I’ll try to be around and about. But if I’m not, then you know that I’m behind your eyelids, and I’ll meet you there..!

Rupert, Please start uploading your wonderful content onto the Odysee Platform
I along with others are ditching you tube because of rampant censorship.
Thank you for your consideration

'The way we perceive the world' might be better said as "The way we perceive this physical realm". Our spirits or souls are energy and frequency and can incarnate into this place, like music on a radio.

terrence could be flaky but not nearly as much as his fan base... and I took another look at a lot of his ideas and left with a real fondness and respect for his mind. hate the fans but I appreciate the man!

[electrictao]

No one could speak as well as Terence. It's fascinating that you mention telepathy as biological. Perhaps you could elaborate on this. Do you think it to be purely biological, or partly biological, as in the final rendering of a greater mind that connects all things? Thank you Rupert.

[wildbillhackett]

Rupert, if you've ever had any contact with Kary Mullis or even just some insights into his work or character, I would love to hear it. Thanks.
