Terence McKenna Appreciation Thread

[The Mystical Man]

I consider Terence McKenna to be one of the greatest speakers of all time. He spoke eloquently and extemporaneously. His writing, too, was elegant. He was a master of the English language. Truly a wordsmith. Listening to him speak is like listening to music. 

"The world is labyrinthine beyond possibility of imagining, inhabited on many levels by alien intelligence, infinite in extent, staggering in its beauty, terrifying in its weirdness, endlessly satisfying and peculiar."

It's the first time that I'm saddened by someone's death.

Share your favorite Terence McKenna talks and quotes.

His last interview:

"Following your own curiosity is a better method for exploring the world than any of the methods offered. Sheer curiosity is the thing that I've always let me carrying along." - Terence McKenna

This is like a modern vlog, but it must be over 23 years old. The quality is surprisingly good:

I was watching this while stoned out of my mind on edibles - one of the best trips of my life.
