Most people do not know how to take mckenna, but I won't get into that now, some advice though, rather than thinking about what he is telling you think about why he is telling you these things. Terence McKenna was incredibly intelligent, and much can be gained from his work, but again, most have no idea how to take McKenna, and again, I won't get into that here.

I feel he practiced everything he preached. Just because he stopped consuming mushrooms later in life does not erase everything that mushrooms had taught him during his life, it doesn't erase all those life changing psychedelic events which he experienced, and it surly doesn't erase all the things those experiences taught him, and how they forever changed himself and his perception of existance. He never promoted life long psychedelic use, it was more related to getting people to even have just a single psychedelic experience in their life. I think the fact that he stopped using mushrooms later in life changes nothing.

...speaking of practicing what he preached, terence, Kat, and others purchased land in Hawaii and founded "botanical dimensions" an organization which collects, cultivates and saves valuable and threatened plant life, as well as the mythology, lore, and details regarding human use relating to these amazing plants. Terence and Denis also wrote one of the first psilocybin mushroom grow guides under the pseudonyms O.T. odd and O.N. O'eric. And through out his life terence actually did more for the psychedelic community than most give him credit for.

You can learn a lot from terence, but even terence said that the stupidest outcome of all this would be some type of terence McKenna cult, that would demonstrate that his point was entirely missed and misunderstood.

I don't watch TV, I don't like sports, I don't obsess over movies or rock stars, when I want to be entertained, I smoke some hash and throw on some terence McKenna, these are thought provoking and mind bending concepts, it's always an intellectual journey to sit through McKenna lectures.
