Summary

Guest speaker: Terence McKenna PROGRAM NOTES: [NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.] “The 20th century is a great gathering for a leap, and the 19th century was the century of the gentleman.” “Whether we can actually make a new world is not clear because the momentum of the past is very great.” “The bigger you build the bonfire of understanding the more darkness you reveal.” “Belief is a curious reaction to the present at hand. It isn't to be believed. It's to be dealt with.” Download MP3 PCs – Right click, select option Macs – Ctrl-Click, select option

Greetings from your host I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.

0:23.6

So, where have you been for the past three weeks?

0:27.7

That's a joke in case you're wondering, because, seeing as how there have been Boku downloads since we were last together, I know that you've been here.

much of Europe, or the political upheavals in a dozen or more places.

0:53.8

There is some kind of disturbance everywhere

0:56.0

to keep you off balance, it seems. Now, here in Southern California, in the county where I live,

1:02.0

we've got over 3 million people, and among us there are quite a few different political and

1:06.4

religious differences. However, at least so far, we've been able to settle our differences without any bloodshed.

1:13.1

And our weather is, actually, it's as good as it gets on this little planet. So I guess that

1:18.2

Mother Nature felt that we should have some kind of difficulties out here as well, and so she let

1:23.4

one of her new flu viruses loose on us. But I don't want you to think that I've been down with the flu.

1:29.0

The way I see it, I've just been strengthening my immune system.

1:33.1

And now that I'm almost back up to speed, I'm going to post this podcast right now with only a

1:39.1

minimum of talking on my part, and I'll follow up in a couple of days with another program

1:44.0

and a bit more commentary

1:45.6

from me. Right now, let's join Terence McKenna for the next segment of the workshop that we began
