Tales and speculation about the mysteries of the psychedelic experience.

HISTORY ENDS IN GREEN presents McKenna's overview of human history seen through the lens of psychedelic vision. Recounting his fortuitous presence in Berkeley- "ground zero of the cultural explosion" - in the 1960's leads into a brief examination of how the psychedelic utopian wave form was overcome by "prepotent forces" resulting in the anti-psychedelic dystopia we find ourselves in now.

McKenna brings his considerable talents to bear on the meltdown of values of Western civilization and the future of the human species, and calls for an Archaic Revival and the dissolution of synthetic boundaries erected by the male ego.

SURFING ON FINNEGANS WAKE & RIDING RANGE WITH MARSHALL MCLUHAN is a provocative discourse on two of the most influential minds of the 20th century, James Joyce and Marshall McLuhan. These dramatic readings and revealing analysis are quintessential work of literature of the 20th century.

The term “Hermetic” comes from Hermes Trismegistus, who was originally an Egyptian god (Thoth) and was later incorporated into Greek culture, and associated with Hermes. The term “hermetic” can mean “pertaining to alchemy and magic”. About forty books are ascribed to Hermes Trismegistus. These books were written between about 200 BC and 200 AD deal with alchemy and astrology, and also with philosophy. The “Hermetic Tradition” isn’t simply the Alchemical Tradition, it’s a literary-philosophical tradition in which alchemy, astrology, the occult, and the philosophy of Plato are all interwoven. All European alchemists may be said to be part of the Hermetic tradition, but philosophers and poets with no interest in alchemy may also be considered part of this tradition. In this lecture Terence McKenna explores the Hermetic Tradition by discussing ancient traditions, symbolism, the philosophy behind it.

Terence McKenna expounds on topics of psychedelic experience, mapping hyperspace, the archaic revival, hermeticism & alchemy, and the future of the human race. Terence McKenna was an American ethnobotanist, psychonaut, lecturer, author, and was an advocate for the responsible use of psychedelic plants.

Terence McKenna covers wide-ranging and profound topics in his uniquely witty style and rare depth of intelligence. Topics include: the "Stoned Ape" Theory of evolution, consciousness expansion, the purpose of history, extraterrestrial possibilities, interdimensional communication, the DMT trip expericence, shamanic science, alchemy and Hermeticism, the Logos, the eschaton, and many other spectra.

Feeding back to the psychedelic community of Los Angeles, Terence McKenna delivers an hour of colorful and astounding visual transformations. He weaves a galactic tapestry of art-tickled articulations of the history and future of psychedelic alchemy, the government/ culture clash, and the surging general ordering of chaos from UFO's to archaic shamanism. This recording will amuse anyone interested in subjects ranging from eco-tourism to techno-junkies.

Shamanism & the hallucinogens; folk taxonomy & language development; soma, evolutionary specialization; repression of the religious instinct; civil rights issues; natural conduits to the unconscious; question-and-answer session.

A talk by Terence McKenna about how our global culture is preparing to depart for the stars, so we must begin to pack for the trip. He begins with a discussion of botanical dimensions of folk medicine which are lost in pharmacology, and how this is being uncovered by the New Age archaic revival. McKenna envisions an end to the current age, which has consisted of eons of boredom. He goes on to discuss the growing wonder of the universe as presented by leading astronomers Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan. Our individual preparation must start with the re-exploration of the visionary insights from non-western people who use psychedelics within a transformational context.

Per Terence McKenna, il grande visionario psichedelico, tra i più importanti etnobotanici del mondo, la ricerca sulla Dmt è stato l'asse su cui si è articolato il suo pensiero. La Dmt è una triptamina psichedelica presente in molte piante e nel fluido cerebrospinale degli esseri umani. È una molecola che attivata permette all'uomo di spostarsi su piani "altri" della percezione. Fino a permettere di esplorare non solo mondi psichedelici, ma piani di "altra" realtà abitati da entità (forse anche aliene), che nelle modalità "normali" non siamo di in grado di contattare, ma che sembrano esistere seppur in un altro universo spazio-mondo.
