OPENING THE DOORS OF CREATIVITY -TERENCE MCKENNA 

Honestly the process of making art is like a low-level sorcery the finished result is literally enchanted with whatever feeling or intention or thought the artist was trying to express.

“Nature is the great visible engine of creativity”

"..we are awakening to a new day from a long long night of the soul but it must be done collectively, gently, lovingly and with a complete faith that we are an infant held in the arms of nature..."

No adds. Perfect for bedtime. Thank you

"if Artists cannot find a way, a way cannot be found" ✊

Love this dude. So groovy. So intelligent. Thanks a million times, Terence, and thank you for posting this. Gratitude.

“You can have archaic and eat it too.” Lol had to play that one over; such a clever thinker and great sense of humor!

"... to save the world through art and the pursuit of meaning." YES.

Fun guy to listen too, quite smart, don’t make him your idol tho, far from perfect, see a lot of people get into psychedelics and praise him like he’s a Demi god and they start thinking and acting and talking like him. Be your own person, your experience shouldn’t be interpreted thru a McKenna filter, where you use his experiences to describe your own. You are exploring your brain and consciousness, it should not be the same

What got me was when he was talking about how modern art stopped advancing towards the transcendental because people who make art now direct their creation towards the idiosyncratic. I didn’t know what tf that meant until I looked up idiosyncratic only to then have to look up idiosyncrasy. Means the way of thought of an individual. Then he goes on saying that this way of creating art hurts the individuals dow or dou because the dow is nothing but the transcendental creative without ego & the idiosyncratic art modern artists make is created combining the ego into the creation. He goes on and says if they stir to close to idiosyncrasy they loose the dow connection. But modern artists don’t want to be full dow or they’ll loose their sense of self -the ego. He then said exactly that and my mind was blown. Then I connected all that to the rap artists mostly pop smoke & Travis Scott bc I really think their art is almost fully idiosyncratic but you can still peep highly transcendental moments in their music, great artists non the less. Then he said people who make idiosyncratic art think they are making art that pertains to what they feel but really they are tapping into an archetype lodged in their subconscious. I disagree because sometimes they are actually the embodiment of that archetype as he is the embodiment of the teacher/mystic archetype. But then again human archetypes are in fact ego which in his beliefs, are not the representation of the transcendent. My mind was blown from all this talk not because I didn’t know this, but because I never could really explain it. Only thing that bothers me is that he doesn’t consider the idiosyncratic art as real art because he says art is the expression of the transcendental. But art that isn’t transcendental is still art because it still comes from the transcendental but is channeled through the ego or a Meme (really theme) Artist that are very creative can also channel what they believe the future will hold (future archetypes they believe will exist or themes and memes they believe will come true), they just have to feel the time compare it with what’s happening now and let the dow create it, so they create an ego that is not theirs but is there in the creation. Or they can channel any ego that they see in someone else. Transcendental art is not the only art that can bring humans forward but it is a vital stepping stone. Artists now a days need to sprinkle it in to remind people to get on board to the goal of the transcendent. I wish I could talk to this man

i am not only one using this lecture to fall a sleep when anxiety is takin over

it dawned on me while I was driving the other day, in one sentence, that creativity is a form of communication. Just as we can never stop thinking, we can never stop creating on some level. The seeming profundity of it, and the inherent rewarding nature of the idea, it was like the physical delivery of something good to right where I was in the cosmos.

wish i could meet people that are interesten in this lectures. from Berlin with love.

"Culture is a plot against the expansion of consciousness." 30:34

35:09 says everything about our denial, ignorance and lack of knowledge as humans and artists to understand what we have been doing and what we keep doing to ourselves out of misunderstanding of what we are doing. This man knew something nobody else knew at the time, but I know it as well now myself. It's just a shame that there are only so few of us that do understand what he was saying. "It's the poets and artists that have failed us." Holy shit. He was speaking to me in this. The vision I have for people and life matches up with everything he is saying here. In time...in time 🌗

Absolutely right, my friend. You have the blueprint of it which is so beautiful beautiful. Absolutely cool thank you. I think the same way and most things you think it's awesome

“Language is the battlefield over which the fight will take place”. BARS!!!!

I'm so happy I'm interested in these kind of docs/presentations. I'm so grateful this info is opened to the public to feed their brain and fight the darkness of evil ignorance. Thank you thank you thank you

Each of these insights, every single one, can also be obtained through deep meditation. He is speaking 100 percent truth. Yes it helps if you are an artist, and there are many artists working to promote this understanding, but you can also achieve this. Start a meditation practice today and keep at it. Nature is ready and waiting to make you happy.

I think life a test. It's how we show our love. It's how we our compaction to others and we accept that no one is perfect.

Wow. His description is, in itself, art.. listening word by word, realizing the meaning, the concepts is so amazing

Going into a world unseen and coming back to describe it, is exactly how my musix making process feels

The Bible been telling us all this stuff for years but this is the modern way of putting it.

‘Arts’ task is to save the soul of mankind and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns’

I miss this beautiful being. What an eloquent mind and spirit!

As for me this is the best message of McKenna I heard so far. He is advocating to take mushrooms not for the sake of pleasure but for the sake of propelling humanity forward and on this point I agree with him.

1. awake and thinking 2. asleep and thinking (dreaming) 3. asleep and not thinking 4. awake and not thinking (also called TURIYA in Hinduism)

Truly ahead of his time and a very well spoken proponent of the psychedelic community very intelligent and well thought out I have a lot of respect for Terrence mckenna

“Ideas are made of memes.” -Terrence This man was WAY ahead of the curb back in 1990!

The universe is a art making machine 💕 loved that

Terence is probably the greatest orator in recorded history.

He is so direct and almost exasperated at the end. I love when he’s so blunt.

37:16 also says so much about our old and idiotic programs that we are still living by and believing in. My goodness, if he was still around. Just imagine if we had just ten like-minded beings here...

Thanks for uploading ad free. Some other channels have illegally monetized McKenna talks, which is pretty unbelievable.

Grateful to this man and his wisdom. The clamping down of language that is occurring at present is an attempt to squelch evolution.

he's a magician of words.

I dream of Terence all the time...I'm convinced his consciousness survived the threshold.

very grateful to be able to listen to this without disruption! thank you ♡

No ads... Perfect for PAYING ATTENTION. Thank you

Thanks a million stars for this video! Amazing as always! Wonderful Terence McKenna: a true visionary and translator❤

Listened to some of this washing the dishes, i forget how stimulating and fascinating his talks can be, i will have to come back later

This is poetry in itself, thank you ❤

Well that instantly became one of my favorite McKenna talks.

We split from reality once we started painting on walls. As he says into a dream. So now its a game of get back to reality. Maybe quote, we are moving towards something else" and all of this is part of the process.

Who else has got their dictionary out while listening to this word wizard?! 🧙‍♂️✨

No other speaker gets me in such a state of trance. I'm always super hooked and can listen to a whole lecture very concentrated. His ideas are so beyond. But they align with my own psycadelic experiences.

I love getting high and laying back and sticking this on the big screen and speakers 🙏🍄

I think, the rise of creativity as a new human skill was unique in history. Because it was the first time when people started to produce things with their hands that were made for the main purpose of beeing interpreted by others. This implies the notion that other individuals like me also do have this same skill. This skill requires an experience that I cant describe to myself. I believe the notion of consiuosness derives from this breakthrough in nature. The impulse to carve objects into known forms, or to distribute painting in a wall forming known specially meaningfull forms, comes from the need to see if others react to my creation in the same way I do. Is enjoying the wonder too see that others also have this strange inner chat with theirself. And the appreciation of the realization that other also have an internal world. The mind as we know it today was arising.

This guy's vocabulary is bigger than Oxford English dictionary

I worship his mastery of the English language. If language was a basketball league, he would be the Michael Jordan...

I only ever tapped into this fully one time and it changed me. I have no explanation for it but this one time I was on mushrooms and I began to write by hand, in cursive with pen and ink on paper. It wasn't like you'd think of writing though, the spelling was perfect, the style was something that I have never used and can't replicate and the weirdest part is that I wasn't thinking about words or spelling or grammar as I wrote, it was like painting an intention into an image. My hand appeared to act as an automatic reaction to what I was feeling. It was honestly the strangest thing and even though it only resulted in a few short sentences it changed the way that I approach anything creative because overthinking and forcing are toxic elements that actually kill creativity and constrict the flow of that energy. I think that a lot of what people do creatively is in a sense magic regardless of our awareness of that. When you write or draw or produce music or do anything like that there truly is an element of the ethereal that you play a role in guiding into the tangible and physical world of things. Our whole world is constructed of dreams and ideas made real through these exact means and I think that is exciting and encouraging instead spooky because we can dream new things and indeed we never seem to stop dreaming new things.

We enjoy reading your comments. Thank you for taking the time...🐬🐞🍀

Thank you very very much terrence

4:50 "The prototypic figure for the artist as well as for the scientist is the shaman. The shaman is the figure at the beginning of human history that unites the doctor, the scientist and the artist into a single notion of care giving and creativity. To what ever degree art over the past centuries has been wandering in the desert, its because the shamantic function has been lost or forgotten." Wow... interesting because Identify as a shaman most of the time.

I'm having a transcendental experience listening to this while painting roof tiles.

Always thought provoking. TY

How many intellectuals are there in the field having compassion and geniusness. Maybe 1%.."like Tesla you are the models new generation to learn from. But sadly people are after stocks, markets, greed and power. Bow to your open heart

I've always tried to combine art with the sciences....crazy so i study these things which mixes and match in my brain creating new neural pathways and thus creativity for me but really i do it to understand everybody else...working at my own pace make it better.

Always pleasantly suprised to see McKenna

Very creative of the production crew to film this underwater.

just listening t him and work takes me out and puts me in my center to my true self.

Him talking about memes in 1990 is mind blowing.

It’s Crazy, listened to this for the first time in my old house in Port Hueneme, which is where this talk took place, I know he talked all over the world but it was really grounding realizing he had been to my very city which is not a very big city at all

This is Epic! Peace and love

I feel so resounding with this.

this is amazing thank you so much

happy to have spent this hour this way. he was very eloquent in this lecture, very precise and moving

I love Terence! And No Ads!!! 🍾🎉🎈🎁🎊🌈🙏🏻

5:43, subliminal flash of two faces of him superposed: one facing towards the left part of the screen, looking focused; the other, facing towards right side, looking emotional.

Wish I could have met this man

This was a tremendous experience. Thank you very much.

Terrance was a profit and philosopher. Listening to him in 2022 I can see and feel how right on he was. We are in a sociatal collapse as we enter into the technical being where our identity as human animals will be totally erased from our memories.

This lecture is amazing! !!! One of my favorites . Terence McKenna is 100% a earth angle .

I wonder just how optimistic Terence Mckenna would be if he were still alive today, 20 or 30 years on, looking at the state of the world.

I think it’s natural for people to imitate @ first. It’s part of our learning process.

I met Terence at Megatripolis @Heaven 1993/4 it was the changing point of my life...I am forever thankful and thoughtful..

"There is no insanity Only a supersanity More suitable for life at the end of the 20th century Where everything is art and everything is trying to express it Where everything is art and everything is trying to communicate it" Strapping Young Lad - Oh My Fucking God

talking about trancedental memes in the 70's - what a dude

When I look around, I find that there are so many things that are just not pretty. I once had this vision or more like mantra, that practicality should always go hand in hand with beauty. This is how I create my living spaces. It looks like I actually took that back from my mushroom trips. My friends say my flat looks like a mushhroom trip. Not that I have psycadelic art hanging around but rather, the mushroom experiences told me to trust my judgement of what seems aestheticly "correct". I think if more people would have a psycadelic experience the world that humans shape would be significantly more beautiful. Probably also more places left to nature as you realise that nature in itself is one master sculpturer

This. Beautifully said 👏 ❤

Why am I just hearing this gentleman now.

Omg this is how I feel... guess that's why I'm solo... but know I'll change the world when the time is right. And anyone else is able to do this. I'm Nick Knight and anyone who reads this means your hearing this video and look up Alan Watts because this videos is the first video I've seen that explains what I KNOW is real. With words but we all feel it

Amazing talk!

Wow! Great Video. Right on target.

Listening to this makes me feel like I'm looking through a one-way viewer glass wall and there's only a very faint view of a very colorful, small, portal in a void of darkness that I can see in the far distance through this glass wall. I'm knocking myself against it, kicking it, shoulder charging towards it and to no avail I am unable to break through to fly to this portal. I have yet to experience any psychedelics, but I feel strongly compelled to consume it. I wonder about waiting for the perfect opportunity or just granting it for myself. This wall will crack soon, I just know it...

Hopped on RU-vid for workout music.. Here I am throwing more on the barbell... thinking about the art of creative thinking. Thanks for the PR, Terence!

that was fantastic

Art should serve the good the true the beautiful. I agree wholeheartedly as an artist 💫

I just blasted myself into the quantum field on DMT, which is why I pulled up this video, somehow Terrance tagged his name in the 4th dimension. I can't imagine that was easy.

Wow, that closing statement was truly something.

AMAZING SPEECH !!!

We always are what we assume we are. We experiance the reality we think FROM. Start to assume you are who you want to be. Start to think FROM, the reality you want to experiance. And it will manifest. LIfe is a dream.

What a beautiful meditation on art.

🌞all love everybody

Such good ideas about art.

Of course be yourself but all artists, thinkers , musicians etc. they build their Foundation upon what Foundation of learning thatmore experienced people have shown them. Terrence constantly gives credit to those names who have impressed him. Nothing wrong with that😏

40:00… this man is literally talking about how memes are the pathway to the next generation of creative potential and the linkages between our individual consciousnesses into one. Here we are in 2021, we have TikTok and our ability to spread ideas as efficiently as possible is increasing. What a visionary. Despite all the doomsday predictions, I believe nature has us on the right path to the heaven that Mckena and so many other visionaries really knew

When u find leaves and sticks and whatever u find in nature can be the channel for things like nature altars. It brings a nice element as u say to a room . so try building nature altars :) woah thanks

Brilliant. Full of quotables: "We are in the absurd position of being able to do anything (but)

I get lost in this mans talks especially when trippin😂 langauge has a transcendental flow. I feel it❤❤❤
