Speaker 1 (14s): Well, well, well look who made it back. It's the most handsome, the most lovely men and women in the world. And you spend a little time with someone who's equally appealing, you know, like attracts like water seeks its own level, nothing but as good looking folks over here, devastatingly handsome, incredibly intelligent. Come on. We're the best of the best. Do you want us to do? Do you guys have a good weekend? 

Do you have a good day yesterday? Whenever you're listening to this, I don't know. Do you have a good Tuesday? A good Wednesday. I had a pretty good weekend. I had a pretty good day yesterday. I wanted to introduce everybody today to what I, I am going to call my philosopher's spotlight. We're gonna work on a little Terence, McKenna, have you guys ever heard of him? I'm sorry. Have you ladies and gentlemen ever heard of him, but those of you who have not had the great fortune of getting to listen to this phenomenal speaker, perhaps the best way to introduce you and the format I am going to use is to read a little bit from some interviews he's done, I will read you his response to a few questions, and then we'll dive into one of his articles so that you can begin to understand why I think he is a great teacher, a great speaker and someone that more people should be listening to. 

So without any further ado,

What I have found is that all of these systems that are offered as spiritual paths work splendidly in the presence of psychedelics. If you think mantras are effective, try mantra on 20 milligrams of siliciden and see what happens. 

Speaker 0 (2m 18s):  

Speaker 1 (2m 22s): All sincere religious motivation is illuminated by psychedelic to put it perhaps in a trivial way. The religious quest is an automobile, but psychedelics are the petrol that runs it. You go nowhere without the fuel, no matter how finely crafted the upholstery, how flawlessly machine, the engine narrator, where do you personally think the human potential movement is heading now? And where do you position yourself in the spectrum? 

Terence McKenna, I believe that the best idea will win. We are all under an obligation to 

Speaker 2 (3m 0s): Ourselves and to the world to do our best, to place the best ideas on the table. Then all we have to do is stand back and watch. I have this Darwinian belief that the correct idea will emerge triumphant to my way of thinking. Psychedelics provide the only category that is authentic enough to be legislated out of existence. They are not going to make quartz crystals or wheat, grass juice, illegal. 

These things pose no problem. But I think that we are going to have to come to terms with the psychedelic possibility. We would have a long time ago in America, except for the fact that on this particular issue, the government acts as the enforcing arm of Christian fundamentalism life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are enshrined in the constitution of the United States and inalienable, right? If the pursuit of happiness does not
