502-TMcKenna: "Suspended Between Eternities"

Today's podcast features the first part of a December 1989 Terence McKenna workshop in which, among other things, he explains how his rap differs from what is though of a New Age thinking. And his answer to how we humans brought the world to the point of disarray that we now find ourselves in is truly classic McKenna. Some classic quotes from today's talk include: “Hedonists are people who don't take hallucinogens, to my mind, because it largely is very hard work. I mean it isn't always hard work, but as a life, as a path, it's extremely hard work.” AND “There is no rational way to save the world. Our only hope is a miracle. And the only place a miracle is going to come, so far as I can tell, is from psychedelics. That's the only miracle in town.” AND FINALLY “I really think that the major political obligation upon all of us is to get more stoned. Take larger hits.”
