PROGRAM NOTES:
[NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.]
“History is, in fact, the quenching and the withdrawal of this relationship of symbiosis to the rest of nature.”
“Hedonists are people who don't take hallucinogens, to my mind, because it largely is very hard work. I mean it isn't always hard work, but as a life, as a path, it's extremely hard work.”
“The issue of psychedelics, of plant transformation, of losing the ego, is the most closely held facet of reality in a dominator society.”
“There is no rational way to save the world. Our only hope is a miracle. And the only place a miracle is going to come, so far as I can tell, is from psychedelics. That's the only miracle in town.”
“I really think that the major political obligation upon all of us is to get more stoned. Take larger hits.”
“Most things in the world are hyped. Most things are over-sold and under-delivered, but in my experience sex, music, and psychedelics deliver. They are actually better than advertised.”
