Quotes about real
real ideas political
Political campaigns are the graveyard of real ideas and the birthplace of empty promises. Teresa Heinz
real two levels
We live on two levels ... the realistic level and the fantastic level, and which is the real one, really? Tennessee Williams
reality artist doe
It is only in his work that an artist can find reality and satisfaction, for the actual world is less intense than the world of his invention and consequently his life, without recourse to violent disorder, does not seem very substantial. The right condition for him is that in which his work in not only convenient but unavoidable. Tennessee Williams
real mind psychedelic
Who is to say what is real and what is not?'Real' is a distinction of a naïve mind... Terence McKenna
real thinking people
People have a right to get stoned. They have a right to think and explore their own minds. This is as intimate a part of their being as their sexuality. Any culture which mitigates that is clearly afraid of a full and fair and open dialogue about what reality is and what real human values ought to be. Terence McKenna
real animal technology
But technology is the real skin of our species. Humanity, correctly seen in the context of the last five hundred years, is an extruder of technological material. We take in matter that has a low degree of organization; we put it through mental filters, and we extrude jewelry, gospels, space shuttles. This is what we do. We are like coral animals embedded in a technological reef of extruded psychic objects. All our tool making implies our belief in an ultimate tool. That tool is the flying saucer, or the soul, exteriorized in three-dimensional space. Terence McKenna
reality sea moments
Reality is, you know, the tip of an iceberg of irrationality that we've managed to drag ourselves up onto for a few panting moments before we slip back into the sea of the unreal. Terence McKenna
real moving community
What we really are is a community of mind, knitted together by codes and symbols, intuitions, aspirations, histories, hopes - the invisible world of the human experience is far more real to us than the visible world, which is little more than a kind of stage or screen on which we move. Terence McKenna
real
The only real experience that counts, is your own. Terence McKenna
real past giving
My hope is that I may bear witness to the fact that there is a great mystery calling to us all, beckoning across the landscape of our history, promising to realize itself and to give real meaning to what is otherwise only the confusion of our lives and our collective past. Terence McKenna
real hippie taken
We've painted ourselves into a corner where the only choice is real nightmare - triage, epidemic disease, famine, fascism, the collapse of human rights - or a leap to an entirely different level. We've taken business-as-usual off the menu. Now only the extreme possibilities loom. Terence McKenna
real war mean
The war on drugs was never meant to be won. Instead, it will be prolonged as long as possible in order to allow various intelligence operations to wring the last few hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit profits from the global drug scam; then defeat will have to be declared. "Defeat" will mean, as it did in the case of the Vietnam War, that the media will correctly portray the true dimensions of the situation and the real players, and that public revulsion at the culpability, stupidity and venality of the Establishment's role will force a policy review. Terence McKenna
reality trying kind
Reality itself is not static. This is one of the things that the psychedelic is trying to put across, that the reality we're embedded in is itself some kind of an organism and is evolving toward a conclusion. Terence McKenna
reality mind primaries
The leading edge of reality is mind, and mind is the primary substratum of being. Terence McKenna
reality world fields
The world is not made of anti-mu mesons, quarks, and photons, and electromagnetic fields. Reality is made of words. Terence McKenna
real ugly culture
Ideologies are cultural memes. They are the most confining of the cultural memes. That's where culture gets real ugly. It is when you rub up against its ideologies. Terence McKenna
reality light creating
The Internet is light at the end of the tunnel. I don't care if it's being used to peddle pornography, I don't care if it's being trivialized in a thousand ways. Anything can be trivialized. The important point is that it is leveling the playing field of global society. It is creating de-facto an entirely new set of political realities. None of the constipated, oligarchic structures that are resisting this were ever asked. Their greed betrayed them into investing in this in the first place without ever fully grasping what the implications of it were for their larger agenda. Terence McKenna
real opaque predicaments
The real nature of our predicament is completely opaque to us. Terence McKenna
real data justification
The real justification for psychedelics is that they feed new data into your model. Terence McKenna
real hands choices
Once you have the psychedelic tool in hand then some real choices have to be made. Terence McKenna
reality way code
If reality is code, then it can be hacked in some way that we had not suspected before. Terence McKenna
reality trying psychedelic
To me, the psychedelic experience is the experience of trying to make sense of reality. Terence McKenna
reality culture language
Cultures are virtual realities made of language. Terence McKenna
reality tests examination
Psychedelics are actually a kind of miraculous reality that can stand the test of objective examination. Terence McKenna
real thinking offering
I think institutions will inevitably substitute a rite or a ritual for the authentic, for the real McCoy, because then priests can control the pipeline to god, and the parishioner can approach with offerings. But if everybody can have a pipeline to deity, why then the whole priest scam is put out of business. Terence McKenna
reality thinking long-ago
I started out in psychedelic drugs, and people said it was a flight from reality. It still is a flight from reality, but I think reality is now a bit more scary than the drugs we used to fly from it, so long ago. Terence McKenna
reality thinking perspective
What is revealed through the psychedelic experience, I think, is a higher dimensional perspective on reality. And I use 'higher dimensional' in the mathematical sense. Terence McKenna
reality years world
For me, what all these years of psychedelic taking came to was a new model of how reality works, a new model of what the world is. Terence McKenna
reality space understanding
The world is mental in some way that we do not yet understand, but that which we're edging toward understanding. And the world is made of language. I can't say that enough. Whenever we get into these discussions about reality, or effects in space and time, we are operating outside this assumption that the world is made of language. Terence McKenna
reality paris dmt
If you go to Paris you know more about reality than people who don't. If you smoke DMT you know more about reality than people who don't. Terence McKenna
reality ordinary robots
Niagaras of beauty are flowing by untapped by ordinary consciousness. . . . Would that we could send robots who could film these psychedelic realities. . . . The presence of so much beauty is an argument to me that truth cannot be far away. Terence McKenna
real entering world
We can understand first of all that what is happening in the world of becoming, the world we all experience as beings, is that novelty is entering into being, and it is changing the modalities of the real world toward greater and greater levels of integration. Terence McKenna
real truth-is spread
The real truth is splintered and spread throughout time. Terence McKenna
