TERENCE MCKENNA: THE ARCHAIC REVIVAL (A CLASSIC!)

“What good is a theory of how the universe works
if it’s a series of tensor equations that,
even when understood, come nowhere tangential to experience?
The only intellectual or noetic or spiritual path worth following is one that builds on personal experience.”
—Terence McKenna, THE ARCHAIC REVIVAL

Terence McKenna has been exploring the ‘Wholly Other’ for 25 years. In this spiritual journey, he ponders shamanism, buddhism, and enthnopharmacology.

By the phrase ‘archaic revival,’ McKenna refers to a return to shamanism, which he believes can be enhanced by current scientific practices. In these essays, interviews, and narrative adventures, McKenna takes us on a mesmerizing journey deep into the Amazon as well as into the hidden recesses of the human psyche and the outer limits of our culture, giving us startling visions of the PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE.
