Today's podcast brings to a close the four-part Terence McKenna series dealing with alchemy and the Hermetic Corpus. In this conclusion Terence points out that alchemy is still with us, although we may not always see its current form. And in reference to the current state of chaos in our world today he says, “Speciation of a single plant can occupy fifty or sixty thousand years. It never happens more quickly than that, and the grinding down of glaciers from the poles, these are processes that take hundreds of thousands of years. With the advent of human beings an entirely new ontos of becoming, an entirely new category of becoming is introduced into the entire cosmos, as far as we know, because we cannot verify that there are other self-reflecting beings in the universe.” but “Our bridges are burning behind us. We see no way back.”
