Who is Terence McKenna?
Terence McKenna was refered to as the man who could save the world. He left this stage of existence, in April of 2000.
He was known as an author, a philosopher, an ethnbotanist, and a psychedelic explorer among many other things. His work focused on areas ranging from technology to evolution to psychedelic drugs. Though he covered a broad spectrum of subjects, they often overlapped and ran over into eachother.
Terence McKenna's Books
Terence McKenna wrote a pretty healthy collection of books before he left us. Here is a list of the books that I know about. I recommend them ALL.
- Food of the Gods
"Terence McKenna is the most important--and most entertaining--visionary scholar in America. To be uninformed of his ethnobotanical discoveries is to be oblivious to the central thrust of human consciousness, which is not to survive with the dung beetles but to soar with the gods."
—Tom Robbins - True Hallucinations
"If only a fraction of McKenna's thought is true, he will someday be regarded as the Copernicus of consciousness. If not, he still offers plenty of down-to-earth reasons for preserving the planet, going beneath the surface of scientific inquiry into the psychedelic experience, and some truly amazing dope tales."
—Richard Gehr, The Village Voice - The Invisible Landscape: Mind, Hallucinogens and the I Ching
"One of the most mind boggling books I've ever read."
—Jerry Garcia - The Archaic Revival
"McKenna's ideas are rare jewels discovered during expeditions to the heights and depths of inner space.... The Archaic Revival is flammable to the drybrush and deadwood of the intellect. In the twilight of human history, McKenna's prescription for slavation is just so crazy it might work."
—Alex Grey, artist - Trialogues at the Edge of the West
"Trialogues is a book for all who seek to quest beyond the limits of the ordinary. Three fine thinkers take us plunging into the universe of chaos, mind , and spirit. Instead of leaving us lost, they bring us back with startling insights and more wonder than we knew we had."
—Matthew Fox, heterodox theologican - Psilocybin: Magic Mushroom Growers Guide
The techniques developed by the Brothers McKenna during the 1970s created a revolution in home cultivation of psilocybin mushrooms. This book is the best selling psychedelic mushroom cultivation guide in history. Change your life today, the mycological kingdom awaits the pilgrim. - Synesthesia
This book is an art piece which showcases the book making genius of Tim Ely and the art of anti-fiction a la McKenna.
Terence McKenna Audio Recordings
I was first converted to a McKenna fan through listening to him speak on one of the audio files that are all over the internet. I spent 8 hours a day listening to these for a period of a few month and it changed my life. I have since collected and surrounded myself in anything that can help me learn more about his path and the path of the many that have absorbed the information that he revealed when he was here.
