Cracking the Psychedelic Code - Terence McKenna

This talk was originally recorded in 1994, and is sometimes listed as "Rap Dancing into the 3rd Millenium".

Terence’s second workshop at Starwood Festival XIV. The approaching new millenium, its perils, and its promise will be the theme of this intimate workshop. We will analyze and review the past thousand years with an eye to trends and opportunities that the future may bring. Western civilization is caught in a phase transition to the first planet-wide, species-wide civilization. Does the emergence of a shared set of universal values—democracy, free markets, and the dignity of the individual—have to mean the end of diversity and pluarlism? What does human self-imaging through technology portend to each of us? Is the human race down for the count, or on the brink of its greatest adventure? Psychedelics, virtual reality, and the transformative power of magic and language will be topics for discussion.

The video clips you are seeing were captured for the purposes of this video. They are less psychedelic than usual, but I hope you enjoy the natural beauty along with this great man's beautiful words.
