Podcast 601 – “The Secret of Psychedelics”

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speaker: Alan Watts. Alan WattsPhoto from Archive.org PROGRAM NOTES: [NOTE: All quotations are by Alan Watts.] "If you have a radio, you don't only need an antenna, you also need a ground. So what happens in the world of mysticism, of psychedelic visions and so on, needs to be grounded." "Any law of this nature, any law that tries to enforce by the power of the state its morals, or your own business in looking after your own nervous system, is in fact an unenforceable law. And all unenforceable laws lead to blackmail and public demoralization." "The rule for all terrors is to head straight into them." "LSD is one such chemical that produces the curious effect of making you aware of the polarity of things."

Podcast 594 – “The Edge Runner” Part 1

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speaker: Terence McKenna PROGRAM NOTES: Date this lecture was recorded: May 1990. [NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna.] “The world that we are living in is not at all as the linguistic structures we have inherited would have us have it. We are actually living inside some kind of artificial construction which is potentially permeable by human understanding but to date has not been.” “The unspeakable is the ground of language.” “History is the story of the cancerous and unchecked growth of the ego.” “If our god is omnipotent, omniscient, never wrong always right, utterly unforgiving, this is a jerk! Who needs this? We don’t need this. Our image of deity is pathological. Our image of deity is the image of the cancerously untamed ego.” “Psychedelics are not an ideology. Psychedelics are an experience.” “What the shamans say is truer than anything we can say about them.” Download MP3 PCs – Right click, select option Macs – Ctrl-Click, select option Download a free copy of Lorenzo’s latest book The Chronicles of Lorenzo – Volume 1

Podcast 593 – “Understanding the Chaos at History’s End” – Part 5

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com Guest speaker: Terence McKenna PROGRAM NOTES: Date this lecture was recorded: June 24, 1989. Today we continue with the June 1989 Terence McKenna workshop session in which he sets out his ideas about history and time in his Timewave hypothesis. And while we now know that this idea of his will never actually become an actual theory, as it is sometimes said to be, nonetheless, he points out several instances in which history appears to be following a fractal pattern. As far as I know, this particular Timewave lecture hasn't been released on the Net before.
