Omega Man: A Profile of Terence McKenna Aliens and Archetypes: My life is science fiction We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises itself as an extra-terrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us. - Terence McKenna He was called the Timothy Leary of the 90s, one of the leading authorities on the ontological foundations of shamanism and the intellectual voice of Rave culture. Study him and you’ll soon find yourself swept into the lush, viridian reality of ALIEN DREAMTIME. Do UFOs originate as psychic projections from our own minds? Terence McKenna is the author of Food of the Gods, Archaic Revival and True Hallucinations and co-author of The Invisible Landscape and Trialogues at the Edge of History. He was a leading thinker in the area of alternative realities. He suggested that regardless of their origin and material existence, UFOs exist and are a challenge to the authority of science. Their chief function, he said, may be to offset the rationalist imbalance in our contemporary culture. An innovative theoretician and spellbinding orator, Terence has emerged as a powerful voice for the psychedelic movement and the emergent societal tendency he calls The Archaic Revival. Poetically dispensing enlightened social criticism and new theories of the fractal dynamics of time, Terence deobfuscates many aspects of the visionary lexicon, and then some. As Artist Alex Grey suggests, In the twilight of human history, McKennas prescription for salvation is just so crazy it might work. He invented the Time Wave software to explore the waves of novelty in human history. He has authored several books on entheogens, and brought psylocybin mushroom growing to the masses. McKennas fractal spiels have concresced into a provocative pair of published books: Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge (Bantam) and a collection of lectures, interviews, and essays - his greatest hits, as it were - titled The Archaic Revival: Speculations on Psychedelic Mushrooms, the Amazon, Virtual Reality, UFOs, Evolution, Shamanism, the Rebirth of the Goddess, and the End of History (Harper, San Francisco). The Holy Blue Brethren & DMT Hyperspace (Liber III)... The experiments goal was to bind molecules into a human being, so that the collective knowledge of humanity embedded in our DNA could be realized as holographic imagery. The test involved hefty doses of psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca, the local dimethyltryptamine (DMT)-laden hallucinogenic brew. Terences reflections on the shaman, those members of preliterate tribes who travel into alien realms and bring the news back home. By means of stropharia cubensis mushrooms and what proved to be relatively low doses of ayahuasca, the McKennas induced an artificial shamanistic schizophrenia of which Terence claimed kept him awake for ten nights of telepathy, communication with the mushroom spirit, and a UFO visitation. According to McKenna, theres a rough ride ahead as we travel times fractal rollercoaster, when something - maybe something good, maybe something bad - is scheduled to occur. It might take the form of rapture, an interplanetary collision, the invention of time travel, or a manifestation of high gnosticism in which the death of matter sparks a spiritual revolution!
