Quote:Terence,
in reading your books I was struck with how closely your DMT experiments paralleled my own. I wasn't surprised by the confirmation, as you might guess. I considered myself a serious DMT explorer between 1967-69. I stopped only because I was told to, in no uncertain terms, by the Boss of that place. Three times, in fact, to my dismay. Disobedience was costly. I was informed that I'd been shown all that was mine to know, to use that, and not try to extract more.

Jerry Garcia of the grateful dead said terence McKenna was "the only person who has made a serious effort to objectify the psychedelic experience"

Here's a better version of that same quote:
Quote:Most of us who have been involved in the psychedelic experience wish we had the discipline and rigor of Terence McKenna," Jerry Garcia, the late lead singer and guitarist of the Grateful Dead, once said. "[He's] the only person who's made a serious effort to objectify the psychedelic experience--and done a good job of it."
On the back of my copy of
the invisible landscape by terence McKenna, a review by Jerry Garcia states "it's one of the most mind boggling books I have ever read"
Jerry was also a fan of terence McKenna's 2012 speculations...
It's no secret that the dead were McKenna fans, and that McKenna was a dead fan...
the dead has always been my one of my favorite bands, though music is only just half of the reason why I have been a dead fan for so long, their connections and the history associated with the band is the other half...
