Terence McKenna
Psychedelics
[2013] NEW MKULTRA DISCOVERY: Terence McKenna admited that he was a “deep background” and “PR” agent (CIA or FBI). ''And certainly when I reached La Chorerra in 1971 I had a price on my head by the FBI, I was running out of money, I was at the end of my rope. And then they recruited me and said, “you know, with a mouth like yours there’s a place for you in our organization”. And I’ve worked in deep background positions about which the less said the better. And then about 15 years ago they shifted me into public relations and I’ve been there to the present''
“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.” ― Terence McKenna
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to
that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and
the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This
is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really
touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic
dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the
abyss and discovering its a feather bed.”
--Terence McKenna
"Since all culture is a kind of con game, the most dangerous candy you can hand out is one which causes people to start questioning the rules of the game.” -Terence McKenna
"The god who put us on this planet to toil in the mud is no god I want to have any part of. It's some kind of Gnostic demon. It's some kind of cannibalistic demiurge that should be thoroughly renounced and rejected."
