Summary

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speaker: Terence McKenna PROGRAM NOTES: [NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.] "This is what the psychedelic experience means. It's a doorway out of history and into the wiring under the board into eternity." "What we need is a new myth. What we need is a new true story that tells us where we're going in the universe." "Psychedelics return us to the inner work of the self, to the importance of the feeling of immediate experience." "I think of going to the grave without a psychedelic experience is like going to the grave without ever having sex. It means that you never figured it out what it was all about." "The three enemies of the people are hegemony, monogamy, and monotony."

Greetings from Cyberdelic Space.

0:07.0

...lequistic salons.

...and I want to begin today. Greetings from Cyberdelic Space. This is Lorenzo, and I'm your host here in the Psychedelic Salon.

0:23.6

And I want to begin today by letting you know that you have most likely heard today's rap by Terrence McKenna before.

0:30.3

Although I've titled today's podcast, McKenna's Psychedelic Rhapsody,

0:35.4

this is actually Terrence McKenna's live talk from a rave that was documented in Ken Adams' brilliant documentary, Alien Dream Time.

0:44.5

Now, if you've been with me here in the salon for a while, you'll remember Ken from his 2012 and 2013 Palanque Norte lectures.

0:52.5

And in his 2013 lecture, Ken talked about his then-recent documentary

0:57.5

titled Imaginatrix, the Terence McKenna Experience. And I'll put a link to it in today's

1:03.8

program notes, which you can find at psychedelic salon.com. And if you haven't seen that film,

1:09.7

well, you really should make a point of doing so.

1:12.4

Not only is it a deep look into the life and times of Terrence McKenna, the film also presents

1:18.4

itself in some really unique ways that I think will inspire young video enthusiasts to maybe reach

1:24.1

for some new heights.

1:25.8

And you should also know that Ken isn't just another McKenna fan.

1:29.7

He was Terrence's neighbor for many years and probably knew him as well as anyone outside of his family.

1:35.6

So Ken's insights are certainly worth paying attention to. Now I come to Alien Dream Time. As I said,

1:43.1

the DVD is available on Amazon and I encourage you to get a copy

1:47.0

because, well, the audio portion alone isn't even half of the experience. The graphics are

1:52.4

simply awesome. In fact, it is the perfect bedtime video experience, I think, along with a little

1:59.0

toke, of course. Many of my friends also have copies of this video, and, well, it's been played at quite a few of our parties.

2:06.5

But, to be honest, I've usually been a little ripped when I watched it.
