Today we conclude the Terence McKenna workshop that was held in March of 1996. Among other little tidbits, Terence had what I thought was a new twist on why the DMT experience is ineffable. A couple of my favorite quotes from this program include: "I'll tell you straight out, I'm an anarchist. I am an absolute anarchist. I believe in people more than in abstractions of institutions. I will always rely on people." AND "You cannot be a public figure and a practicing alchemist." AND "The basic notion here, I think, is an idea of radical freedom. This is not a cult of Terence McKenna. It is not a drug cult. It's a cult of curiosity if it's a cult of anything. And what you're supposed to understand when you come out of here is that an open mind is a very precious thing, and it should never be given away, perhaps ever, but certainly never lightly."
