Today brings the first of a six-part series of recordings made at a Terence McKenna workshop in September of 1990. He titled it “History Ends In Green”. A few interesting quotes from this program include: “I cannot conceive of mature human beings going from the cradle to the grave without ever finding out about [the psychedelic experience]. It's like not finding out about sex or something. It's just too weird. It's a part of our birthright. It's not a cultural artifact. . . . This is, as far as I can tell, the dimension in which we most fully experience ourselves as ourselves.” AND “We have to be very careful about the corrosive effects of culture.” AND apropos of the current situation in the 2016 U.S. elections, “Human culture has become, charitably, a random walk, uncharitably a kind of cancerous, exponential cascade of unstoppable effects.”
