Greetings from Cyberdelic Space

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

And today's podcast features a recording from last Monday evening's live salon where our guests were Jacques Olivier and Matt Palomery, both of whom joined us to talk about Jacques's recent autobiography, which is titled Nature Love's Courage.

Now, since the three of us are longtime friends who have shared quite a few experiences together,

well, the conversations sometimes turn to us telling a few of our old war stories.

And two of Jacques's stories really stand out.

As it turned out, Jacques was the last person that Terence McKenna ever held a DMT pipe

for.

And then there's a story about how Jacques wound up spending a rainy night all alone in

Terrence's house in Hawaii just after he helped pack the library

for shipment to the States. And the only things that were left in the room where he spent

the night was his backpack that fortunately had a little DMT in it and an urn on the mantle

that contained Terence McKenna's ashes.

Well, the story gets quite interesting from there.

So now let's join the live salon, and here are a few of those stories about Terrence McKenna.

Thank you. Hey, Jacques, I saw you in Bruce's Live Salon, where Dennis was there, and we're having a Terrence tribute.

In fact, I'm going to podcast this talk we're having here tonight first,

and then after that I'm going to repopcast Bruce's tribute.
