A Sense of Doubt blog post #1974 - Psychonaut - Terence McKenna

I have been engaged in a study of the thoughts, beliefs, commentary, and philosophy of Terence McKenna for some time.

Many people are increasingly in our nation right now are increasingly closed off to science.

Many more are closed off to the realities of our world, our planet, our selves, our universe that science cannot explain.




I may be a skeptic, but I am Mulder. I want to believe, but I struggle with faith.





That's all my commentary for today. Allow me to present a post dedicated to the late and very great Terence McKenna.


For those of you who aren’t familiar with him already, Terence McKenna was a man who wore many hats. While he is most well known for being one of the pioneers of the psychedelic movement during the early 80s, Terence also dipped his toe in a plethora of other topics — things like philosophy, culture, science, VR and AI, the nature of time, evolution… and much more. Even if you disagree with his unorthodox practices, much of what he discusses is still incredibly thought-provoking and fun to ponder. SOURCE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_McKenna

Terence Kemp McKenna (November 16, 1946 – April 3, 2000) was an American ethnobotanist, mystic, psychonaut, lecturer, author, and an advocate for the responsible use of naturally occurring psychedelic plants. He spoke and wrote about a variety of subjects, including psychedelic drugs, plant-based entheogens, shamanism, metaphysics, alchemy, language, philosophy, culture, technology, environmentalism, and the theoretical origins of human consciousness. He was called the "Timothy Leary of the '90s",^[1][2] "one of the leading authorities on the ontological foundations of shamanism",^[3] and the "intellectual voice of rave culture".^[4]

McKenna formulated a concept about the nature of time based on fractal patterns he claimed to have discovered in the I Ching, which he called novelty theory,^[3][5] proposing this predicted the end of time, and a transition of consciousness in the year 2012.^[5][6][7][8] His promotion of novelty theory and its connection to the Maya calendar is credited as one of the factors leading to the widespread beliefs about 2012 eschatology.^[9] Novelty theory is considered pseudoscience.^[10][11]

Like most Westerners, I believed that magic was a phenomenon of the naive and the primitive, that science could provide an explanation for the workings of the world. In that position of intellectual naiveté, I encountered psilocybin mushrooms for the first time, at San Augustine in the Alto Magdalena of southern Colombia. Later and not far away, in Florencia, I also encountered and used visionary brews made from Banisteriopsis vines, the yage or ayahuasca of 1960s underground legend – Terence McKenna

Unconventional Inspiration: The Best of Terence McKenna

The Best, 2/9/18

On culture:

“…we are told ‘no’, we’re unimportant, we’re peripheral. ‘Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.’ And then you’re a player, you don’t want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.”

“The cost of sanity in this society, is a certain level of alienation”

“We have been to the moon, we have charted the depths of the ocean and the heart of the atom, but we have a fear of looking inward to ourselves because we sense that is where all the contradictions flow together.”

McKenna understood that he had been exposed to the secret. “There is a secret and this is it,” he remarked to the folks gathered at Ojai. “It is the secret that the world is not only not the way you think it is, it’s that the world is a way that you can’t think it is.” And further, this secret was not “something untold,” but that which “can’t be told.” While convinced that he’d discovered the most powerful of all hallucinogens, unlike Burroughs who, having summoned the “Dim-N” genie in 1961, concluded that he’d been exposed to “the nightmare hallucinogen,” armed with the knowledge of its endogenous status McKenna promulgated the “paradox that DMT is the most powerful yet most harmless” of all substances.(7

About the Psychedelic Salon

Podcasts from the Psychedelic Salon are a production of MatrixMasters.com, which is operated by Lorenzo, who is also the original producer of the Palenque Norte lecture series at Burning Man.

The mission of Matrix Masters can best be summed up in the lines Franklin Rosemont wrote in his introduction to the writings of Slim Brundage, where he described Chicago’s famous College of Complexes:

The aim of the College of Complexes, as an educational / recreational forum, was neither to recruit members nor to mobilize troops for the achievement of specific goals, but rather to inform, agitate, educate, emancipate, provoke, inspire, offend, scandalize, tickle, and excite.*

Well, our aim here at Matrix Masters is to provoke an unmuffled, ungagged, and unsilenced generation of world citizens into speaking up and taking the actions necessary to wrest control from the privileged few and to reclaim this planet in the name of all the humans, animals, plants, and other forms of life who share its bounty.

And about our name, “Matrix Masters,” we intend this as reminder that ultimately YOU are your very own Master of the Matrix

Definition: matrix — a mould, environment, or substance in which a thing is developed, a womb.

Trust Yourself - Terence Mckenna

https://ecohustler.com/technology/trust-yourself-terence-mckenna/

In my humble opinion, ideology is only going to get in your way. Nobody understands what is happening. Not Buddhists. Not Christians. Not government scientists. Not… you know. No one!… understands what is happening. So, forget ideology. They betray. They limit. They lead astray. Just deal with the raw data and trust yourself. Nobody is smarter than you are. And what if they are? What good is their understanding doing you? People walk around saying ‘Well, I don’t understand quantum physics but somewhere somebody understands it’. That’s not a very helpful attitude towards observing the insights of quantum physics. Inform yourself. What does inform yourself mean? It means transcend and mistrust ideology. Go for direct experience. What do YOU think when YOU face the waterfall? What do YOU think when YOU have sex? What do YOU think when YOU take psilocybin? Everything else is unconfirmable rumor, useless, probably lies. So, liberate yourself from the illusion of culture. Take responsibility for what you think and what you do.




SOME WARREN ELLIS stuff not all of it (some of it) about Terence McKenna...

Late For Everything - OO 13 Aug 17

He asked, “And do you know what Lord Lodestone expects from such a deal?” “Not really. I used to think it was simply a crackpot’s dream that we were trying to use to our own ends. But Lord Lodestone, in the two or three meetings I’ve had with him, does not appear to be a crackpot at all. Eccentric, certainly, but with one of the sanest, soundest minds I’ve ever encountered. But then, he’s English. They all seem sane at first.”

LUMINOUS CHAOS by Jean-Christophe Valtat is the sequel to AURORARAMA, a peculiar and beautiful novel set in an Arctic city called New Venice in 1908. A baroque steampunk/fin-de-siecle-culture inflected adventure novel about art, politics, social graces and the unknown.  The sequel sends much of the cast from the first on a journey out of New Venice towards Paris, involving much mad science, a sort of truncated picaresque that becomes something of a dérive around a frozen and deeply strange version of the City of Lights.

After all, magic, like poetry, is the art of conjuring real effects from imperfect metaphors.

You'll stay for the characters and set-pieces, less for the slightly overcooked plot, but definitely for the language.  Valtat is an absolute magician, and LUMINOUS CHAOS is a simply gorgeous, lush book.  Mad as snakes, full of wonders, shot through with crystal moments of clarity, and utterly beautiful in its writing.

We are deeply persuaded, Mr. Orsini, that Architecture can raise people to a higher degree of knowledge, of sensation, of individual and collective self-consciousness—to the heights of a living myth, to … illumination. Building is the only way we have to live up to the power of Nature in us.”

Translunar Injection - OO 5 Mar 17

YOU BELONG TO THE UNIVERSE: BUCKMINSTER FULLER AND THE FUTURE, by Jonathon Keats is fascinating, well-researched, and carries a knife.

R Buckminster Fuller was an inventor, writer and teacher with several spells of influence but possibly none greater than in the 60s and 70s, where he was thoroughly adopted by academe and the counterculture. He was a comprehensivist thinker, and following his entirely extemporaneous lectures and talks is like being led through a maze into a cacophanous madhouse.  He was a wild, breakthrough thinker.  Any biography will tell you this.

Jonothan Keats brings, finally, a skeptical human presence to consideration of Fuller.  He was frequently a crackpot, he made shit up, he stole credit, had a ego the size of the moon, and some of his ideas just made no fucking sense, then or now. People don't normally say those things. Keats does, with evidence.

Keats then goes on to unpack those ideas in the light of the 21st Century to show how the thinking beneath them may still be useful.  He targets one idea in each chapter, after he has quite artfully spent the book's opening section sliding his blade between the ribs of the Buckminster Fuller myth. This makes for a fine reading experience, and a very entertaining book of ideas that uses Fuller's wide spread of interests to look at the futures of many different things.  The one on cartography, of all things, was terrific, and the one on "skybreaks" I found weirdly riveting.

If you didn't already have an interest in Fuller, then this may not be a book for you. But Fuller, in general, is someone worth having a shallow knowledge of if you're into media theory, mad inventors, crazy old white men of the 20th Century and their demented privilege, techno-gurus or just plain weird shit.

Fuller came to mind because I have to give a 45 minute lecture in two weeks and I just can't do that extemporaneous Fuller/ Terence McKenna effortless smooth rap. I have to write the goddamn thing out. More proof, if any were needed, that I am not a genius. Just a writer.

Spectral Rehab - OO 29 Jan 17

Funny thing.  Sometimes I listen to old Terence McKenna talks at night, right before I sleep. Old habit.  This one was on the Psychedelic Salon, and it opened with host Lorenzo noting that, back in 1989 or whenever it was, the information on psychedelics and related history and study shared in those workshops was really only available in those rooms he was speaking in.

I'm generally not big on mystery schools and the arcane - as I've quoted before, all things good should flow into the boulevard, and this is what our global communications net is for. Secret rooms are great for strategising and organising but not for teaching. If you land on something to say, share it. It's why McKenna's talks were recorded. And that was just talking about mushrooms and aliens and elves, for christ's sake. 

The podcast ecosystem isn't completely compromised yet, and may actually survive 2017. YouTube, of all places, seems to remain committed to citizen video, and I have a suspicion that commitment may be bolstered by current events. (200 Google employees being locked out of America might focus their minds a little)

Share what you know. Raise your voice. I'm listening, and so will lots of other people.

Tinyletter will give you a free newsletter account system for up to 5000 subscribers. I've used it, and, for free, and for a small circulation, it's really pretty great.

If you use soma.fm (I do, all the time), now is a good point to donate them some money so that all their no-commercials radio stations stay online. I dropped a chunk on them this week, but, frankly, a buck would make a difference to them.

[ORBITAL OPERATIONS] 19jul15

My head's been all over the place this week, and nothing I was reading was working for me -- I usually have a few books on the go -- so I opened Don Winslow's new one, CARTEL, the sequel to POWER OF THE DOG. I'm about a quarter of the way through it, and Winslow's compressed headlong style has swept me along. 

Which is probably what I needed, as it turned out I didn't have the braincycles left to correctly process the collection of Marshall McLuhan talks I intended to read. 

I also put down Dennis McKenna's BROTHERHOOD OF THE SCREAMING ABYSS, as it makes what is for me the fatal error of autobiography -- I'm never going to read 20,000 words about anybody's 1950s American childhood, or, in fact, anybody's childhood full stop. I'm going to go back to it -- Dennis, brother of Terence McKenna, is an ethnopharmacologist, and an interesting figure who's done interesting things. I forgive him the somewhat score-settling nature of his discussion of his older brother so far -- Terence McKenna himself copped to being something of a dick on more than one occasion, and so blatantly made up shit on the spot in his talks that you can almost hear him laughing as he says them. But, really, very few Western people have had a childhood worth recording, and it's a sixth of your life, and the least important sixth because you were not old enough to buy me a drink

I kind of want to talk about Holly Herndon's album PLATFORM, and particularly the song "Morning Sun." There's this thing I think of as "broken pop" that's always fascinated me, and "Morning Sun" hits that spot. It's an assemblage of debris from pop that's been roughly arranged into place - so clearly a collection of broken pieces, like a shattered mirror with the shard jigsawed back into an imperfect approximation of the original whole. Same reason mid-to-late My Bloody Valentine got me - pop songs slit up the middle and turned inside out so you hear not the note but all the notes leading up to the note. The whole of PLATFORM is a collation of ideas and experiments, a greatly thought-provoking record, but "Morning Sun" makes me listen and listen. There's so many shards in it.

Now that was a guy with an interesting career. And odd moments in it. He directed DAY OF THE DOLPHIN, a genuinely odd (if not entirely successful) thing that drew from the career of John Lilly, who was also by all accounts genuinely odd. 




He developed the sensory deprivation tank, and a computer-generated language for talking to dolphins, and, according to the reminiscences of Terence McKenna, would appear at the Esalen Institute out of the fog without warning and wearing what McKenna called "his Obi-Wan Kenobi robe."

""John Lilly… John is a juggernaut… oh my god. John’s such a trip. This guy is… there’s nobody home, this guy cannot be left alone at home. And such an amazing arrogance, (that) amazing conviction that you’ve got it aaaalll figured out. A relentless character."

The other film that seems to bear Lilly's fingerprint is, of course, ALTERED STATES. He's worth doing some reading about, because he was completely mad in a very entertaining way.

Here's a thing I wrote on morning.computer several days ago, in fact:

Last night I dreamed of being able to curate a hub on Medium that was nothing but the confluence between the apocalyptic, the technological, the numinous, the archaic and the future. A Black Mountain College of the next new normal. Which is basically the space I’m thinking within all the time right now. I’m feeling very apocalyptic. I’m feeling like I want to explore it.




In 1968, the year I was born, NEW WORLDS magazine ran a cover that contained a black-on-near-black graphic and the white text WHAT IS THE EXACT NATURE OF THE CATASTROPHE? The answer is both ahead and behind. Half of my brain is in deep time at present. I have a book on my shelf entitled APOCALYPTIC WITCHCRAFT.

“The Wild Hunt as living experience” is a phrase on the back cover.

(God, what if it’s just The New Hauntology? “We are as ghosts and might as well get good at it.”)

HAUNTOLOGY

HAUNTOLOGY AND MUSIC

I’m a little worried about turning into the ghost of Terence McKenna and rattling on about The Archaic Revival for the rest of my days.

Anyway. I woke up and I was still poor, so I know it was a dream.

Oh yeah, and this is post 1974, so here's a couple of things about the year 1974.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_in_the_United_States

http://www.thepeoplehistory.com/1974.html

WATERGATE!!!

What Happened in 1974 Important News and Events, Key Technology and Popular Culture

1974 Inflation continues to spiral out of control around the world reaching 11.3% in the USA and 17.2% in the UK and the global recession deepens. The famous skeleton "Lucy" is discovered in Ethiopia which lived between 3.9 to 3 million years ago. More and more smaller digital based consumer products appear in the shops and the earliest forms of Word Processors appear which resemble a typewriter more than a computer. After the findings of the Watergate Scandal Richard Nixon becomes the first US president forced to resign from office.

- Days ago = 1838 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
