Terence McKenna
Terence McKenna was a CIA agent and propaganda writer, used in the CIA controlled psychedelic drug culture, which had its origins in MK Ultra (MK) research with LSD and other drugs by jesuit Timothy Leary, funded by Harvard University (McKenna's nickname was Timothy Leary of the 90's). Although he distanced himself from the term, his idea's are closely related to the philosophy of the New Age Church. |
He went to Antelope Valley High School like Judy Garland, Priscilla Barnes (discovered by Bob Hope), Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa. He was educated at University of California Berkeley. His writings are influenced by jesuits James Joyce and Marshall McLuhan, Aldous Huxley, Carl Jung, Philip K Dick, alchemists,...
Magic mushrooms were investigated by CIA agent Gordon Wasson (article in Life magazine of 1957), trained at LSE. Like Wasson, McKenna wrote about the Eleusinian Mysteries.
His concept of archaic revival has its roots in modernist art scene (Cubism, Surrealism, Dada, Beatniks), a social engineering program to destroy the foundations of western culture, the nihilist crisis announced by Friedrich Nietzsche. It was the start of Neo-Paganism and Neo-Shamanism (Ayahuasca trend, DMT,..) resorting to the last anchor points, Greek and Roman culture (Laurel Canyon was an attempt to recreate the Greek Pantheon).
His Stoned Ape theory was a variation on the evolution theory of Darwin with psilocybin as the cause of a leap in human intelligence and abstract thinking.
He described the beings in the DMT realm as 'machine elves' (the God matrix).
He worked with his brother Dennis McKenna, Ralph Abraham (Berkeley, Columbia, Princeton), Rupert Sheldrake (SPR), Joan Halifax (LSD experiments with husband Stanislav Grof), Ralph Metzner (LSD experiments with Leary), Esalen Institute and the California Institute of Integral Studies.
Bill Hicks (Alex Jones) made reference to him in his comedy shows. He appeared at Starwood Festival (neo-pagan philosophy of Thelema).
Dennis McKenna appeared at Free Your Mind, on Coast to Coast AM and The Joe Rogan Show. and founded the Heffter Research Institute (named after Arthur Heffter who first isolated mescaline, studies of ayahuasca, collaboration with NYU). Ralph Abraham appeared in Joe Rogan film DMT the Spirit Molecule. Sheldrake worked with TED Talks, Institute for Noetic Sciences (concept of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin) of NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell.
He founded Botanical Dimensions on the island of Hawaii.
In 1991 he participated in a conference on psychedelics at Stanford with Timothy Leary, John Lilly and Robert Anton Wilson (used his TimeWave theory in Cosmic Trigger: the Final Secrets of the Illuminati) reviewed by High Times.
He was a friend of Tom Robbins who wrote Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, made into a film by Gus Van Sant (gay agenda), with Uma Thurman, Keanu Reeves, John Hurt, Rain Phoenix (year death River Phoenix), Sean Young, Heather Graham, Grace Zabriskie Crispin Glover, William Burroughs (Beat poets, gay agenda), Ken Kesey (MK Ultra projects of Stanford).
He played a role in the 2012 hype and helped introducing the concept of a singularity (Omega Point of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin), used in the Transhumanist Church. Jan Irvin (Infowars, Joe Rogan, Red Ice) is used as disinfo agent.
