Greetings from Cyberdelic Space

This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the psychedelic salon.

And today we're going to, at long last, listen to the final segment of a June 1994

workshop that Terence McKenna led.

And while you and I have heard Terrence wax eloquent about psychedelic experiences on many occasions,

I think that you're nonetheless really going to enjoy this talk.

For example, he points out the obvious fact that a mushroom trip is simply a relationship between a human and a plant,

which, of course, is a different order of being.

But then he goes on to postulate that this relationship actually empowers or reveals yet another order of being human.

It's those little flights of fancy that caused me to pause my MP3 player from time to time and think about what he says.

And I think you'll find a number of such points in this interesting talk.

So let's get started.

As old Bush pilots say, we're turning final here.

The thing last night, as I said at the beginning, but it may have been lost in the shuffle,

is a kind of indulgence to me because it's a completely original idea.

And like all original ideas, it runs a strong risk of being just simply wrong.

But because what it seeks to do is so grandiose

and because it seems to do it to some degree

and then that of course falls upon the eye of the beholder

to assess, it seems worth communicating

as an example.
