O Terence McKenna é sensacional! Pago mó pau. Além de ser um dos mais geniais "gurus" da Experiência Psicodélica, junto com Timothy Leary e Ken Kesey, o cara é um revoltado, incisivo, hilário e empolgante crítico cultural, profeta de uma nova era, demolidor de caretices e preconceitos e um xamã comedor-de-cogumelos muito do genial. Pelo menos dois livros do cara são leituras obrigatórias (fuckin' MINDBLOWING): The Food Of The Gods e True Hallucinations. Absolutamente sensacional! Qualquer dia faço um texto enorme sobre isso. Por hora, fiquem com os videozins' (e a ZONA das minhas ANOTA-ções)!

"you are not naked when you take off your clothes. you still wear your religious beliefs, your prejudices, your fears, your illusions, your delusions. when you shed the culture operating system, then you stand naked before the inspection of your own psyche."
THE CULTURE IS A OPERATING SYSTEM THAT CAN BE WIPED OUT! (What's wrong with the operating system that we have?! Capitalist-consumer system? Well, it's DUMB! It has BUGS on IT! THIS IS A CULTURE WITH A BUG IN ITS OPERATING SYSTEM! THAT'S MAKING IT PRODUCE IRRATIONAL, DISFUNCTIONAL, MALFUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOUR! CLEAN YOUR DISK! TIME TO CALL THE TECH!
...
says the book: "the schizophrenic lives in a world of twilight imagining... marginal to his society... incapable of holding a regular job... these people live on the fringes... content to drift in their own self-created value-system..." THAT'S IT! THAT'S IT!
he have no tradition of xamanism. he have no tradition of journeying into these mental worlds. we are terrified of madness. we fear it because the western mind is a house of cards.
a briiliant statement: LSD is a psychedelic substance which ocassionally cause PSYCHOTIC BEHAVIOUR in PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN IT. ---- =D ---- And i will bet you that more people have exibhited psychotic behaviour from not taking LSD, but just thinking about it. there's a great FOBIA about the Mind.
we have gone very very sick.
the 20th century is a enormous effort of self-healing. fenomema as diverse as surrealism, body-piercing, psychedelic drug-use, sexual permissiveness, jazz, experimental dance, rave culture, tatooing - the list is endless... - what all these things have in common? they represent various styles of rejection of linear values. (...) so when i see people manifesting sexual ambuiguity, showing a lot of flesh, dancing to sincopated music, or getting loaded, or violating ordinary canons of sexual behavior, i APPLAUDE! it's an impulse to return to what is felt by the body, what it's AUTHENTIC... the return to a world of MAGICAL EMPOWEREMENT OF FEELING.
that's what the world is: A LIVING MYSTERY.
the hour is late. the clock is ticking.
TURN YOUR BACK ON A CULTURE THAT HAS GONE STERILE AND DEAD!
