“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.” ― Carl Sagan
Artificial Intelligence 010, post language. Is it really so intelligent. Terminator. Eliminate the construct. Rewrite your own. We hold on to shit like its so valid and at the same time marginalize one's own actualization. If I wasn't here then Grandad would not exist. So who's reaĺ eyes in this per spective.
19:42 "We are quite literally that animal that can sense the future, and being able to sense it over the past hundred thousand years, we have gone in search of it, in the same way that an animal can smell water on the wind and can then go in search of water and eventually find the waterhole, because our large brain capacity, because information is a quantum-mechanically expressed state in the brain, we can smell the future, and have been able to do so for fifty, sixty thousand years."
I expect we are best at "smelling" our own future state. The state our physicality, or perhaps our sentience, is about to be in. This would have strong adaptive selection (evolutionary) pressure. Sentience, itself afforded by the capacity for this counter-temporal flow, draws itself forward to the great attractor. Little god into big. The space for this feedback loop requires a "past to future" flow, in order to afford the creation/evolving aspect. And this is "consciousness". It is why we were made. To do the work the object at the "end" of time cannot. Myths seeming to describe this are ubiquitous. "created in the image of...", the separation from or the splitting of the original divinity, even the Vedic notion that God (is it atman?) is at the beginning and the end of the world, but not in the world, etc. Mythopoesis Scio Mundus Deus All things come from the end.
Best discovery of my life? Discovering Terence McKenna, the man, the legend..💙😎🌬🧘🏽♀️ So appreciative of his every word..and those pics are awesome! 👌 👏
Plus without movement time has no meaning. A clock ticking, your heart beating, any possible way we have to measure time relies on movement through space. Whenever they stop time in a movie everybody freezes.
Thank you, both, for making me feel a little more sane. My own personal view of time in the present moment is that it is the complex relationship between all objects and experienced by life. As was mentioned above me, if you stop time, everything has to stop.
@@allworknoplay5742 I see theory as the second dimension, and theory applied to matter as the third. A square that is pushed into a material world becomes a cube, since the theory of a square has to be preserved on all faces.
If there is one person I would want to learn from, its Terrence. We are so fortunate to have these recordings to keep learning from this amazing mind and man.
Well that’s my mind blown for today. Wonderful chap Terence McKenna. I’m sure wherever you are right now you continue to blow the thoughts and minds of the beings who reside there ❤
Alvin, are you excluding yourself from the O, the original. Everything else is second, secondary to you. The quantification of the refrerence point before whats first. I'll blaze the chalice wifff you
Sometimes when I'm listening to his old talks I just think, man he was about 20 -25 years ahead on some of his predictions..of course, the 2012 Time Wave thing didn't really pan out but I feel like he was definitely on to some things
To travel through time is to vibrate with space, space and time are the same thing. The past, present, future coexist all at once. Time is an illusion made up from our physical matter to better understand the experiences we are supposed to have while in matter form. I believe that you could travel into the past beyond the invention of the time machine, through vibrating on the space of time.
I saw strange lights in the sky (which happens all the time ) about a month ago in particular it was overly strange. It wasn't the usual flying saucer /singular object that happens from time to time. Instead it felt like I was looking into "the machine" a network of flying saucers and the flight patterns they were going to take before they took them. It's very hard to find words to describe this experience but as usual Terrance and his brilliant way of speaking has touched upon what I was feeling. Because In that experience it wasn't only that I was "seeing" these but feeling the whole system even if the "eureka" feeling was very brief.
I recently watched the back to the future trilogy. I sit here totally befuddled at the coincidence that this showed up today for me to listen to. thank you. love you guys ♥
I feel the biggest problem with time travel is when I get there the earth will be thousands of miles away either I'll be where it was or yet to be. If I went a hundred years into the future it'd take me a hundred and fifty years to catch up to earth as it whizzes through the galaxy that's whizzing through the universe that's expanding profusely.
I always wonder about location. What if you reappear in the middle of a swamp? Or a huge brick wall? What guarantee is there that you will land in a safe spot?
@@_Information_ I think the technology would over right that area of space. It would be bad if it ended up like the Philadelphia experiment. Maybe you would need AI computer to plot your destination, to put in a safely plotted spot. Apparently through my research I learned some stuff about teleportation. The concept is objects dont exist in locations, instead the location is a property of the objects. So if you find the vibration that a object has which determines its location you can just blast it with a vibration of the new location and it will exist there instead. I wonder if Time is also a vibration of the object. If you applied the technology to an antigravity ship you could teleport in many small steps making it appear you are moving at 3000 miles per hour, then do a 180 degree turn and continue in the opposite direction, but you would have no inertia because technically your ship is stationary and not travelling at all.
@@thersten I don't think this is exactly right. I would think you could have a technology that just pops you there. What you are talking about is how Time and Movement use the same energy source. So the more space you use up the less time you use, then vice versa. But these things are limited to our dimension. Or maybe you are right and you have to travel at the speed of light in some hyperspace that has no matter. otherwise you might hit a rock and blow up. Or maybe both are true.
@@traida111 no. What I'm referring to is how you can move through space; and time will relatively slow down. Travel faster than light speed and you would possibly travel back in time, but you have to also plot your movement through space if you want your end destination to be back on earth.
I stopped in Missouri a few days ago to get something to eat on my way to Denver.While eating I looked up and this man standing in front of me watching one of the TVs on the wall behing me looked shockingly like a 40ish year old Terrence McKenna without glasses. I stared at him for too long of a moment and then looked away for fear of being rude. I just stumbled on this video and am now a bit freaked out. :)
YOOO I’m in MO and I bet $50 I saw that dude in my local Walmart. Saw him and turned to my friend and was like “dude that guy really looks like Terrence McKenna” and he was like “oh yeah he really does wow”
@@yoyomajiin317 I should've asked him if he'd ever heard of McKenna. The answer probably would've been no, but asking may have caused him to go google him. He may have then discovered psilocybin or dmt as a result and would possibly be laying naked around MO somewhere covered in barbecue sauce and having a conversation about creation with some mechanical elves.
You're right but there's no need for a machine. The body is the machine. I'll put it like this: the Second Adam is the first to realize there's no need for a device.
monks and yogis and acetics have known this for thousands of years...there is a method of meditation to open the third eye in which when it opens it is like one is sitting in a big long tunnel with a small white light at the end of it....when it first opens one just practices going to the light door and coming back...after some time one can imagine where one wants to go nearby and then pass out thru to light door (out of body) and be at that place near your house in your astral body...one then comes back...next time one can go a bit further and then come back...after a dozen or so journeys.. while in the tunnel (in meditation) one has an image PLUS a time in the past in mind and when one passes thru the light one goes to this place for the time wanted (last Saturday night at 8.30) and can see what took place there and then come back...when one has experimented with times going further back one can then have an image of the place and time to go for the future (next Saturday night at 8.30) and go there to the place to see what will happen (this is how monks on thailand have given correct lottery numbers to their disciples and they win the lottery)...it is fact...a true science...I know the method but unable to see the tunnel image yet...one needs to be living in the forest and meditating at least 8 hours per day doing the method in sitting and walking meditation...2 meals a day...waking up at 4 am for chanting...walking barefoot all the time...there are certain element for success..celibacy is a MUST...a person using this method can also go to any of the levels of the spirit world to see what is happening there and report back (levels of hell...levels of angels...brahmas and even the buddha's in nirvana) the mater who taught me when I was a buddhist monk living in the forest in thailand said that when I can pass out thru the light door I then become the master...this is mastery already...just to be able to go out of your body and come back each time...it means you know there is no death...you become a place traveller (spiritual tourist) and then a time traveller (spiritual time tourist). hey check out "all inclusive consciousness theory" on my channel
@@Ethicsmusic I remember watching some american shows when I was young about a time tunnel...they may have gotten this idea from the actual human application which has been practiced for many thousands of years...I once had the tunnel as a steady image for around 10 minutes in meditation but soon after left the retreat and it never came back...now this is what is interesting...what if someone just projected the image of a glowing tunnel with a while light on the end onto a wall in a dark room? or what if someone invented goggles to wear and somehow folks could pass thru? I think some american indians called it the neirika (a cosmic portal or interface between ordinary reality and non ordinary reality...between this dimension and other other dimensions of existence)....I am sure many who have had ayahuasca experiences have had some kind of experience like this on the DMT...the dumping of DMT into the pineal gland makes it produce imagery and out of body experience happens...some people use ketamine for out of body experience...some go out on mushrooms and some can use a breathing with visualization method to go out and come back....it is also interesting that charles manson was able to leave his body almost at will...he had been locked in solitary confinement for so many years that he discovered a way to leave his body...he talked about being able to go far behind the walls of the prison... the garden of the mind (creating imagery for lucid dreams meaning you know you are dreaming and can control the dream like a movie director making a movie) and he talked about not needing to read because his thoughts are more interesting than anything he can read...what got me interested in astral travel is when I first went out at 17 involuntarily when near death....I then bought books on it...read the story of sylvan muldoon...a guy who had been locked away somewhere and put alone in a cell and in a straightjacket which he kept pissing himself in and he said the piss would burn into his skin causing so much pain that he left his body...when he came back he was then able go out again and went on to gain some control of the process....this is one of the most interesting sciences there is...what better knowedge is there that there is no death and your body continues regardless of this physical body?...actually better knowledge would be direct contact with God and access to deep spiritual knowedge which can be applied to the physical world....for sure the time machine is the human body if you know effective methods to go out and view things and report back...there have been psychic detectives who have solved cases this way too
Agreed. Victor Schauberger, the water wizard scientist, said this when asked about what the future of humanity will look like. "Two naked figures walk in a desert. They do not need clothing, because a protective aura keeps them perfectly comfortable. The man carries a stick, and taps the earth, and water flows out and immediately grows an oasis for the couple to relax in."
Thanks for this! I had heard several talks that included the talking points in the first 10 minutes but not the bit about the future happening instantaneously. Reminds me of Rupert Sheldrake's morphic resonance.
Time travel? Easy! Go to sleep. Wake up in the future. One big thing time travel enthusiasts forget is this: Going back in time, temporal displacement, also means spatial displacement. If you move through time you also have to move to a different location. In other words where will the earth be in the future or where was the earth in the past. Everything in space is moving. What is the absolute point of reference? Where exactly was this planet 10,546 years, 198 days, 14hours, 28 minutes and 19 seconds ago? Where exactly will this planet be 10,546 years, 198 days, 14hours, 28 minutes and 19 seconds in the future? Where exactly are you on the surface of the planet? A small error translating your position into the past or future could put you inside a mountain, deep in the ocean or out in space.
That's pretty much the Big Bang theory. Space & time itself is created by negative energy, all particles and waves are created by positive energy. Adding all positive and negative energy in the universe together amounts to the singular zero - from which the entire universe sprouted.
We exist because it's impossible for us not to exist. If infinite timelines are even possible, you must exist. What percent of the infinite yous are in a simulation is separate but also fun question.
I read a week-old newspaper and my conscious awareness travelled to the places and events stored within the ink and pages; I then pondered the journeys of those resources and travelled with them. On seeing journalists names, I saw their lifetimes that led to my reading in the present. If that isn't space/time travel, I don't know what is.
Me and my son. Traveled by car for 7 hours , Set our destination for 7 hours ahead and we went 2 states over and there you go we time traveled and lived there for 5 days, then time traveled back to Virginia... As far as we can travel, unless you fly in a air bus....
This is a fun story. What's interesting is that he later tells this story as a conversation with the intergalactic space mushrooms. In this version, he imagines everything on his own, instead of being told this information from the mushroom. It's a very good illustration of how I've long seen McKenna's "mushroom" is really just a literary character that he used to push many of his ideas onto his audiencess of 1980s affluent hippies. For example, if he states that every family should only have one child, the listeneers won't care. But if TM states that, "No, I'm not telling you this, the mushroom told me," then that same audience will immediately embrace it.
I agree absolutely that a lot of his talks were aimed at the pretentious, intellectual, pseudo-hippy types of 80's left coast California. I think he always tuned his talks accordingly and one can't really blame him. I think we have to take his apparent ambivalence with a pinch of salt though. He was obviously dying of a brain tumor and experiencing a mental decline in his later years. He addresses this himself in some of his last interviews. I do agree with your point that he used the mushroom as a sort of writers convenience though.
Totally correct I'd say. At the same time, The Mushroom is a very real independent character. ie When I was tripping years ago, I was 'shown' by The Mushroom the workings of nature. I could 'see' the wind like currents in warm water. I saw those currents push the sea down towards the beach. I saw the turbulence of the waves push the wind towards the hills past the beach. I saw the water molecules of the sea evaporate and get blown into the air, forming the clouds above me. Eventually I saw the clouds swirl around the bay and local fields, and then return to me, and then rain those same water molecules down onto my head and back into the sea... I literally saw all this via my own eyes and mind (though you obviously _can't_ see wind or individual molecules!), yet it was The Mushroom that enabled me to witness it, for sure! 😊 So yeah, it's from within your own mind/imagination but it's (The Mushroom) also a very real character/teacher/even a playmate! 😊 ✌🏼😀👍🏼 Just my personal take. But otherwise exactly the same as your explanation too. ✌🏼😉👌🏼
They say history repeats itself, but so does the present and so will the future. Life as well as time is a rerun, a hand-off a relay race. Haven't you ever felt like you're reliving a day you've already had? The greatest ability in humans is creativity. In his own likeness it is said. Imagination is the key.
@ 25:20 listen for a few seconds. "There must then be in another Universe a white hole and the matter in the center of the Black Hole spurts into this other Universe and begins to define a new topology". We know about White Holes in 2021. We either just passed through a black hole/white hole, or we are passing through one. The interpretation on the calendar was wrong. It is not Dec 22, 2012. It is Dec 22, 2021 or Dec 21, 2022
From 1990 to 1996 a group of people in Québec made time travels every weekend as experimental studies of reality . Le groupe des chef it was called . The man in charge/ daniel kemp/ he made 750 conférences on all subjects . Its in french tho . All on youtube . Not many people knows about it because there was no need to expose this studie to the mass . Enjoy tha search . Im still fascinated by all of it .
With what Daniel brought us from the University of Montreal, we had better operating structures. The more we got together to advance in the new vocabulary, the more familiar it became to us, and the children used it as well as the Big ones to adjust themselves to Intelligence. KRONOTOP - Place in TIME HOMOKRON - Similar TIME DESMOKRON - Temporal Link KRONOBASY - Movement in TIME KRONAKOUSY - Hear through TIME KRONESTESY - Perception of the Flow of TIME SPECTROKRON - Image from another TIME CEREBRIZATION - Seeing through the Brain and not only through the Eyes and / or the Imagination / Thought. The list of Neologisms is quite long and this allows us to adopt a more adjusted and clear language for the benefit of understanding for ALL * lil exctract from many stories about that *
I havent watched the video yet, because i was thinking about this as well. Maybe i will just repeat what McKenna said in the video but i was wondering how if we are able to in a way “hear” and “see” our thoughts, when they are happening in our head is something to not take for granted. I was thinking on how, What if when you think about what youre going to do, for example, you are thinking about where you should go eat. You create the image in your head and see what you want and than decide through that process. You always have to visualize and create the idea of what you want to do first in your head. So what if when you do that, you are creating a whole nother timeline and universe where you are exisiting simultaneous, just for the purpose of simulating what decision you want to make. Think about that, youre visualizing something that hasnt happened yet? You are quite literally time traveling in a way. If you try to understand what im trying to point at with logic youre already lost. Sorry if my explanation is terrible but i was at work and this thought process has been stuck with me for a while and im starting to believe, that is the process of manifesting is it not? Maybe im just babbling but let me know. Now time to watch the video!
Don't causality links pretty much prevent absolute predictive forecasting regarding the future? I've found out allot about some crazy stuff from the Drukama tradition check it out.
I can imagine that the grandfather paradox would not be an issue if the act of traveling back to time actually creates a branched-off timeline. Any changes made in the past would therefore only happen in a timeline seperate from the one you are from and would perhaps even cease to exist once you return or could exist as any one of the infinite number of possible realities that exist simultaniously.
that's the only conceivable way time travel could work, even if you don't kill anyone just the fact of your appearing in this place is changing the past, making it something different, the moment you travel to the past it's not the past you knew, it's something else because a new object is interacting with it (you), if time is linear time travel would be impossible since it would be full of paradoxes, but einstein demonstrated time flows differently in relation to velocity and topology of space, if time was be linear it should be consistent throughout the universe shouldn't it? the fact that it can be locally perturbed seems to contradict that hypothesis. but honestly i think the idea of traveling back in time is just an illusion, a product of our imagination, the past exists in our minds only, how would be possible to recreate a past event? a moment happens and it's gone, forever, outside of our memories it doesn't exist, and if our reality isn't a simulation i really can't think of time travel as something feasible
Wherever you are as your reading this, and this applies to each and every one equally, any time travel would need to calculate and record the 'location and state' of every single atom making up each of our individual material realities. Future time travel would need to calculate a vast plethora of potentials that going back in time doesn't require. There may not be enough capacity within our system to power future travel but a time loop where you travel back in time, before looping back to arrive where you began, that it appears IS possible.
I have tons of respect for McKenna but I'm surprised he didn't realize that time is just a tool of measurement like a ruler. It measures change and a time machine would have to be able to undo that change. Therefore it if it could undo change it would be able to undo all change and be able to travel to any point along the ruler.
I love listening to him brainstorm & his humorous wit,I can listen for hrs & do, though he's wrong about the time machine can't go prior, to it's invention, I firmly believe, cause we're in a conscious muliverse in which dimensions fractle in all scenarios,so yes, folding spacetime to any point in both space & time is possible no matter where, the reason you don't see, the prime directives, the subtle guides,many great reasons we make up,as time goes by..time is not linear & I don't experience it as such,not as much as others seem to,at least: "Time is an illusion albeit a very persistent one" Einstein ;~)
Our sense of the future is increasing. We normally simulated scenarios in our hunter gatherer existence, but then our planning capabilities increased as civilization was birthed. After the industrial revolution and now technological and information revolutions, our simulations, our time travel, our sense of the future is increasing in clarity, temporal distance, spatial size, and our access to it is more ubiquitous or widespread.
You don't need a machine to time travel. There's versions of you all around you. young and old, all at different stages of life. Walk next door to the local coffee shop, there's a guy working there with 90% your life story, 90% same looks, different name. All it takes to time travel is to walk into one of these lives and offer a helping hand in times of crisis or maybe some good advice if you see one of them struggling. Not to say you should only aid your counter-parts. That my friends is being a true time traveler.
the same looks got me... in this age of media its gotta be obvious, the population is made up of about 50 diffrent faces and personalitys.. just mixed and melded into whatever.. maybe less.. maybe a lot less.
