Summary

Guest speaker: Terence McKenna PROGRAM NOTES: [NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.] “Alcohol could hardly be more different than psilocybin in terms of the social values that it promotes.” “Warfare is the natural consequence of agriculture.” “I really see psilocybin as a kind of inoculation against the primate nature.” “Noting on Earth is as much like a man as a woman. We tend to forget this. And ego is not now a male problem. We are all completely infected by ego.” “We do not have group values. The reason the planet is dying is because we cannot place the good of the group above our own desires, consistently.” “The big news is that the rise of the ego has suppressed a portion of reality, which is that nature is an animate and minded thing of some sort.” “Culture is the condensation of language.” “Every society is based upon a lie of some sort. “Drug smuggling is like assassination, if the government isn't involved it never seems to really happen.” Download MP3 PCs – Right click, select option Macs – Ctrl-Click, select option

Greetings from Cyberdelic Space. And I'm your host here in the Psychedelic Salon.

And today is Monday, October 6th, 2014. Now, the reason that I mentioned this is that one week from today, Monday the 13th, is when my friend Bruce Damer will be a guest on the Joe Rogan podcast.

0:38.0

And as you most likely know, Joe records his podcast live and streams it on usstream.tv.

0:44.3

And while you'll be able to both watch and listen to it after the fact, I find it much more fun to watch Joe live.

0:51.2

And it should be fun to watch, as I think Bruce is going to bring along some, a few of the

0:56.4

interesting little gadgets he has in the Digibarn Computer Museum that he curates

1:02.0

in his spare time.

Now, last week I told you that since the boys of the pli, I still haven't had a chance to dust

1:09.3

off a few Palenque Norte talks to send to me

1:11.7

that I was going to play another Terrence McKenna talk, which I did. Well, today's program was

1:17.8

slotted to be sourced by our women friends, but alas, other duties called them first. And so,

1:24.4

once again, you and I are going to hear a few more thoughts from Terrence McKenna.

1:28.7

In fact, we're going to pick up where we left off last week with the, now the Saturday

1:34.1

morning session of a weekend with Terrence McKenna that was held back in February of 1992.

1:40.9

I found it interesting that one of the questions that comes up during this talk

1:45.2

is from a woman who asks if there are any differences in how men and women use these sacred medicines.

1:52.3

And Terence's answer I found quite interesting, particularly in light of the fact that now,

1:57.9

well, more than 20 years later, us guys are slowly waking up to the fact that ever
