Greetings from Cyberdelings from Cyberdelic Space.

Greetings from Cyberdelic Space.

This is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the Psychedelic Salon.

And I'd like to begin today by thanking Chris, Adam, Tony, Daniel, Katrina, and Sherilyn.

Who either made direct donations to the salon, or who made a donation for the Pay What You Can audiobook edition of my novel, The Genesis Generation, all of which will be used to help offset some of the expenses associated with these podcasts.

And so I thank you all very much for helping out.

Also, I want to let you know that we're now accepting Bitcoins on our donation page.

Although with the current price of a single Bitcoin, I should say that we're now accepting Satoshi's,

which, as you know, is the smallest unit of a Bitcoin.

So for our fellow Slaunners who have been telling me to accept Bitcoins for the past couple of years,

well, what can I say?

You are certainly right in advising me to do so, but hey, better late than never, huh?

Now, today I had hoped to begin playing a few more of the Planck A Norte lectures from this year's Burning Man Festival,

but unfortunately the default world has been making some unreasonable demands on our volunteers who did the recordings.

And so while I haven't forgotten about them, I'm, well, I'm afraid that it's going to be, well, just a little bit longer before we get to hear them.

So instead, I've decided to begin playing another one of the Terrence McKenna workshops that we've got here.

And this is one that was held in May of 1990, almost exactly one year after the series of talks that I just got through playing for you a couple of podcasts back.

Now, the copy of this talk that I have doesn't give the workshop series any names of any kind.

It's just the tapes, say, seminar one, seminar two, and like And so, uh, once again, I came up with a few different titles for this podcast and I finally, uh, settle on something

that Terence had to say right near the end of this talk. So, uh, let's join him now for

his opening remarks of the seminar, which, uh, apparently had been going on for a little bit before the recorder got turned on.

We will, I think, continue this kind of neurotic behavior until it either is our undoing or until we awaken to archaic values.
