I've been aware of
Terrence McKenna's influence and respect in the psychedelic community (particularly through music I listen to) for some time, but until now never taken the time to really take an active interest in his ideas, philosophy and concepts. For more on Terence see
http://deoxy.org/mckenna.htmAfter downloading a bunch of his lectures as MP3s, I'm getting more and more intrigued as the hours listening tick by.... especially as it combines several topics I'm extremely interested in - psychedelics, intellectual discussion, history of humanity, future of humanity, world cultures, and ethenogens.
I highly recommend taking a listen to these lectures, and will myself no doubt be checking out some of his many books also.
This is a 700mb download containing god knows how many hours (I'd guess several days solid listening) of his lectures and weekend workshops with the US psychedilic / intellectual community!
