[NOTE: All quotations are by Terence McKenna

"I think it's important to talk about and analyze your experience. There is no communication, even within the confines of your own mind, if you can't describe what's going on."

"The crisis we're in, as a planetary society, is a culture of consciousness. There ain't enough of it. That's what happens when women are raped in Bosnia. That's a failure of consciousness. That's what happens when rivers are polluted with DDT. It's a failure of consciousness."

"The idea that art should save humanity is very out of fashion in the cynical '90s."

"When Fascism comes to America it will be called traditionalism. That seems to be how it's going to present itself."

"Dancing your ass off in a noisy environment is a perfect strategy for clearing your system of a drug."

"Your SELF is the instrument for the exploration of these dimensions."

"Ideology is fairly absent in shamanism at a practical level. It's basically about experience, not about an ideological preconception."

"What if there is actually something that survives bodily death, that actually continues to exist in a dimension which we would have to call mental, or trans-real. And what-if you could come and go from that dimension using shamanic techniques? That is what in fact shamanism has always claimed to anyone who would listen."

"What is language? It's a strategy for escaping from the narrowness of the present moment."

"I think that, well, frankly, I don't know what I think. It depends on how recently I smoked DMT."
