Terence McKenna Discussing the Power of Entheogens
Terence McKenna talks about philosophy, ideas, and the proper use of entheogens. “Science has not been helpful in the matter of elusive human contacts with other intelligences. It prefers to direct its attention elsewhere, with the comment that subjective experiences, however peculiar, are not its province. What a pity, since subjective experience is all that any of us ever has. Anyhow, the largely subjective nature of the so-called objective universe has now been secured by that most objective of the sciences, physics. The new physics has the subjective observer inextricably tangled with the phenomena observed. Ironically, this is a return to the shamanic point of view. The real intellectual legacy of quantum physics may be the new respectability and primacy that it gives to subjectivity. Recentering ourselves in our subjectivity means a tremendous new reempowering of language, for language is the stuff of which the subjective world is made.” -Terence McKenna
Terence McKenna Discusses the Singularity
Terence McKenna and Gregory Stock speak about the epic transition we face in the very near future called the Singularity. This shift will be the result of the inevitable culmination of infinite technological progress and the emergence of completely new states of connectedness. Once the Singularity happens, infinite growth is reached. Within a very short amount of time (as a result of this exponential growth), we will take our first steps towards a new age as an entirely new entity. We will then go on to saturate the entire physical universe with our newly born super-intelligence, or we will gain the ability to actually leave the 3-Dimensional universe and move to higher (or simply other) states of being.
Spiritual Alchemy
We know that the iron core of our earth vibrates at 40 hertz (40 pulses per second.) Our earths crust has a different vibrational speed at around 7.5 hertz. When we are at the height of our brain activity we record roughly 40 hertz and a 7.5 hertz low brain activity. This draws a direct correlation between the earths core environment at its height and our brain activity at its height. Also the earths outer crust environment pulse rate and our low end brain function.
The Maya called the earths iron core \”The World Mountain,\” as they considered our core to be uneven and what we would consider today as fractal. Veins of our earths core rising up in irregular patterns. This is just another example of our science catching-up with these primitive peoples long held knowledge from…well we don\’t know that yet. I don\’t want to digress into Maya worship, but when you talk of the possibility of a future world-wide higher consciousness you can\’t get away from the Mayan astrology, mathematics and various ages.
The Hindu, Mayan, Egyptian Heirophants and several other ancient belief systems excepted world cycles as a given. The Hindu did not subscribe to an \”End.\” They believed in our spiritual advancement, both personally and collectively. There is zero proof of the Maya believing in an end of the world as well. I agree with this sentiment. The Maya went back 16.4 billion years and ended their nine separate ages in \”The Great Year.\” Each of the nine ages (starting 16.4 billion years ago) are 20 times shorter than the previous age. A condensing of time through the various ages. This doesn\’t change our clocks by any means. This deals with intelligence and consciousness. How much has your world changed from 1989 to 2009?
This condensing of time and the 2012 culmination of a higher consciousness was also shared by Terence McKenna. In the 1970\’s McKenna and his brother Dennis came up with the Timewave Zero theory decades before the Maya calender was the least bit understood. This Timewave Zero theory showed the ebb & flow of history and a culmination of an \”event\” in 2012.
I should disclose that I considered the McKenna brothers to be eccentric geniuses that dabbled in entheogenic experiences (mushrooms mostly) that apparently pushed them to the outer limits of our brains abilities. A nuclear physicist named John Sheliak has since found a small error in the math and reformulated the massive equation that actually strengthened the brothers theoretical Timewave Zero. Its now called Timewave One and the website is timewave2012.com
The Hopi Indians call the beginning of this New Age (my words) the \”Day of Purification,\” that will bring cosmic & seismic chaos. Strangely enough, Purification was the main underlying process for the Alchemist. We are in a walking, talking, spiritual Alchemical process of Purification. There are times when the process of Purification takes several times to get the desired outcome. At other times its, one and done. For us to Purify almost anything on this material plane, the process will involve water or fire or both. Remember the Hermetic phrase, \”As Above So Below.\”
In a 1991 article in Bioelectrmagnetics Magazine called, \”The Solar Wind and Hallucinations,\” Walter and Steffani Randall wrote of the breakthrough research showing the possible influences on our pineal gland and melatonin production during increased GMF (geomagnetic field) periods. The strength of our earths magnetic field is directly tied to the earths core and the interplay between layers up to our crust.
Our GMF is a magnetic shield protecting us against solar storms & radiation exposure. Our GMF has lost 7% of its strength in the last 100 years (as of 1999) and our true north pole is migrating 40 miles per year west, toward Siberia.
We know that our poles have flipped many times before. Some scientist believe our earths GMF is getting ready for another pole flip soon. The last pole flip was over 600,000 years ago…thats a good thing! Scientist in this field say we\’re due for another pole flip soon…..that\’s a bad thing ha! An event such as this would be a global near-death experience of fire & water that would purify the least worthy garment among us no doubt.
Timewave Zero Theory
Can mankind have such a jump in consciousness over the next four years that the planet can be literally transformed. If there was a Planet X headed our way, could we get prepared for whatever that might mean? I’ll not list another half dozen possible scenarios predicted for 2012. Has there been a time in history when there was a massive, exponential jump in consciousness? The answer is yes and it’s called the Axial Age.
Terrence McKenna called such a concept as Timewave Zero.
Another name is “novelty theory”. It is an idea conceived by Terence McKenna from the early 1970s until his death in the year 2000. Novelty theory involves ontology, morphogenesis, and eschatology. Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, density of complexity, and dynamic change as opposed to static habituation. According to McKenna, when “novelty” is graphed over time, a fractal waveform known as timewave zero or simply the timewave results.
Ray Kurzweil speaks of a similar concept but calls it singularity. Singularity is a mathematical formula that breaks down and becomes meaningless after a certain point- as in dividing something by a zero!
What is so interesting is how Terrence McKenna’s theory began in 1960 with a novelty increase factor of 64 and continuing until with such exponential novelty and changes until- December 22, 2012. Mind you, this was long before Terrence McKenna had ever heard of the Mayan long count calendar ending December 21, 2012.
And the point is?
There are many but let’s limit them to two. First, we are definitely moving into an era (are actually way into it) wherein productivity, knowledge, computational abilities, and overall speed of expansion in all things will blow us away. Secondly, the year 2012, and the month December, keeps coming back to haunt us as something special ancient cultures (many) and modern prophets keep pointing us to December, 2012.
Maybe we should spend some serious time trying to figure out what it means!
Maybe?
