Terence Kemp McKenna was an author, lecturer, philosopher and shamanic explorer of the realm of psychedelic states. He spoke and wrote about a variety of subjects, including metaphysics, alchemy, language, culture, technology, and the theoretical origins of human consciousness. He has been described by some as being "so far out, nobody knows what he's talking about", and by others as "the most innovative thinker of our times".To shake us out of our perceptual torpor, McKenna played the holy fool, the crazy wisdom sage. He pushed our faces in the most exotic, lurid inventions of modern science and technology. What elevated him above most other prophets was that he delivered his prophesies with a wink, an implicit acknowledgement that ultimately reality is stranger than we CAN suppose.McKenna's m?(C)tier was the spoken word - stand-up philosophy that meme-splices Alfred North Whitehead, Marshall McLuhan, James Joyce, William Blake and many others, delivered in a reedy, insinuating voice. Available throughout the Internet with titles like "Having Archaic and Eating it Too" and "Shedding the Monkey," his lectures are tours de force of verbal virtuosity and pack-rat polymathy, leaping trippingly (in both senses of the word) from quantum mechanics to medieval alchemy, from the chaos theory of Ilya Prigogine to the neo-Platonism of Philo Judaeus.This movie was created to present and collect (some of) his most profound thoughts, and to possibly show glimpses of the alchemical angel that Terence pursued throughout his life. It does not serve as a biography, (at least) three very important themes were left out for the simple reason that they take hours to unfold themselves: the experiment at La Chorrera, the relationship between the McKenna brothers, and the Trialogues with Rupert Sheldrake and Ralph Abraham. And so, three books are essential to anyone who'd like to dive deeper into the life and mind of Terence McKenna:True Hallucinations by Terence McKennaThe Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss by Dennis McKennaChaos, Creativity, and Cosmic Consciousness by Rupert Sheldrake, Terence McKenna, and Ralph AbrahamCreated by Peter Bergmann, this is a movie/documentary/project/amalgamation made from everything Terence McKenna left us with, mixed with the music of We Plants Are Happy Plants. From Terence McKenna's Eulogy to Leo Zeff:Sometimes when Leo would sit with people, they would come out of their reveries and want to talk with him about what they were learning and seeing. And Leo would listen for a few minutes. But he then would always say: "That's fine, that's good, now return to the music." And I think that.. I like to think that Leo has now returned to the music. And some day so shall we. And to whatever degree we follow his example life here, the passage to whatever lies beyond will be made much easier.Leo showed the way, because Leo knew the way. And I salute him for that, I say for all of us who were his tribe: Goodbye to the secret chief, goodbye to the man who saw most deeply. It's now for us to do as he would have had us do.The Transcendental Object At The End Of TimePart 1: Introduction 2:32Part 2: Human Evolution 10:10Part 3: Alchemy 15:02Part 4: Plants 28:26Part 5: Psychedelics 30:33Part 6: Culture 34:25Part 7: Psilocybin 39:48Part 8: Leaving History 45:16Part 9: How do you communicate with the mushroom? 51:23Part 10: What is the voice? 54:18Part 11: Conversation with Ram Dass 57:51Part 12: DMT 1:09:46Part 13: The DMT Experience 1:12:42Part 14: Rupert Sheldrake and Ralph Abraham 1:26:46Part 15: Rap, Rant, Rave 1:38:38Part 16: The Big Bang 1:52:35Part 17: Humanity 1:57:07Part 18: "Why is it important for you to do this?" 2:02:38Part 19: The Good, The True, and The Beautiful 2:12:30Part 20: Kathleen Harrison 2:15:10Part 21: Bad Trip 2:17:34Part 22: High Water Weirdness Event 2:20:57Part 23: The Promise Of Art 2:26:00Part 24: Cannabis 2:35:45Part 25: From Monkeydom To Starshiphood 2:41:41Part 26: The Transcendental Object At The End Of Time 2:47:10Part 27: Last Thoughts 2:51:12Epilogue 3:10:20Ever-expanding list of contributors, whose work is featured:(please mention it in the comments if you run into your art/footage)Videos and audio recordingsSOUND PHOTOSYNTHESISMike KawitzkyLorenzo Hagerty/Matrix MastersVISUALS:TASDMTRMXBen RidgwaySimon HaidukWanderweirdThe Art Of Salvia DroidKen Adams, Bruce Damer, Sacred Mysteries, Rupert Sheldrake, Ralph Abraham, London RealSupport this movie:Buy or stream my musiciTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/album/songs-...http://facebook.com/wpahpStream the soundtrack on Spotify:http://open.spotify.com/user/wpahp/pl...Or just like, comment, share, subscribe!Thanks for watching- Peter Bergmann/We Plants Are Happy PlantsTerence McKenna on Facebookhttp://facebook.com/LanguageEvolution
