Just taking a moment to remember the man who spoke so eloquently on matters near and dear to my heart. The first time I heard one of Terence's lectures i was hooked. He put out words and ideas that came together so beautifully. He was a truly a lingustic artist. And i think he also expanded my vocabulary a bit, lol. And sooooo much more could be said. Terence McKenna November 16, 1946 - April 3, 2000 Thank you Terence Love, Life, and Music Soulshine The tragedy of life isn't that it's too short, it's that we take too long to begin it...

cheers to my favorite mushroom growing pothead cookie eating butterfly collecting fossil hunting aya drinking ufo contractor...  I would have loved to meet him. I have 3 days 20 hours of mp3 alone. I forget who said it but the quote goes something like "if half of Terence's ideas are correct he can be considered one of the greatest thinkers since.."

Ahh, if only I had some mushrooms. “Surrender is inner acceptance of what is without any reservations. If you have lived long enough, you will know that things “go wrong” quite often. It is precisely at those times that surrender needs to be practiced if you want to eliminate pain and sorrow from your life.”

Cheers Soulshine. R.I.P. McKenna.  "But even if nothing lasts and everything is lost, there is still the intrinsic value of the moment. The present moment, ultimately, is more than enough, a gift of grace and unfathomable value, which our friend and lover death paints in stark relief."-Rick Doblin, Ph.D. MAPS President, MAPS Bulletin Vol. XX, No. 1, pg. 2Hyperspace LOVES YOU

Homage to the man who could make impossible ideas seem like given elementary school knowledge. He was a dreamer. Or rather he saw the truth which most of us could only ever label as dreams. Here's to you Mr. McKenna! Psikotrope AKA Hanuman Dass http://hanumandass.wordpress.com A blog on nonduality, entheogens, and other such topics.

Terrence was a poet and a storyteller..the great bard and he will be missed for many years and probabily his name remembered for even longer.. Here is one of my favorite talks mckenna gave..a wonderful glimpse into the workings of his mind and how I think the man lived his life.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jjBr6_ZFKQLong live the unwoke.

"...to seek control is to take enormous aggravation upon yourself, because this process that is underway will take the control freaks by the short 'n curly and throw them against the wall!"  Genius...! R.I.P it's about making life a neverending experience of wonderfulness!
