Robert Hunter & Terence McKenna

[MarcO]

some interesting material to be read here - a bit old but still enlightening. These are some pretty heavy heads at work here folks.

I have wondered if the wondrous objects offered by the tykes in the DMT encounter, for all their power to stand our world on its head, may be, in that world, no more than plastic geometric shapes strung on a rope and hung over an infant's bassinet for its amusement and to teach it spatial and color coordination. They are no more than toys. But the maternity ward metaphor goes deeper. There is a feeling of arrival, of anxious doctors, and a sense of enormous decompression and relief. Come to think of it, decompression is a good metaphor for how DMT makes me feel, it is as if I has returned at last to my natural medium of existence, having left a zone of constriction and pressurized limitation, hence I feel inflated in every sense in that place.

There's video file of a lecture Terrance gave for some college crowd. "Psychedelics in the Age of Intelligent Machines". It was all very trippy with psychedlic effects etc, but man the things he was talking about were pretty mind blowing and interesting...
