Jan Irvin & Jay Weidner: Deluded Cretins or Poisonous Scum?


Sadly, for two men who promoted and continue to profit from the words of Terence McKenna, by whose core ideas they have both been influenced and are greatly familiar with, far much so than the newer, potentially more lucrative audience they now target... it appears to be the latter. Tragically there continues to be many people out there who unquestionably feast upon the warm diarrhea that is spoon fed them by this pair of shameless parasites. The contempt and reckless disdain they have for their followers and community at large is pathological and treacherous. Bitter, reactionary turds, polluting our collective well of information.

It pains me to give these weasles the oxygen of publicity but in the interest of giving those poor souls who have had the misfortune of buying into the pathetic lies this couple willfully and knowingly prosper from, the opportunity to hear genuine voices of  reason and logic should be made available.

If you have come to hold the same "beliefs" about Terence McKenna that this covetous union of grabby shits, peddle. If you practice what they both urge us to do in checking facts for ourselves and using our own critical faculties. If you rightfully have concerns about agents of disinformation that hijack and pox up the counter culture. Then please enjoy the short amount of time it takes to read these (only) three (not 20 databases and 200 links) informative, well reasoned, and eloquent pages debunking (with checkable facts!) the utter tripe of fear and paranoia that is the bread and butter of this unscrupulous pair's agenda,

Sean McCann & Maxwell August Croy ~ Parting Light (Suite) / Momiji


Maxwell August Croy & Sean McCann - “I” (2014)

Composed and recorded in Los Angeles and San Francisco, “I” is the debut full-length album by Maxwell August Croy and Sean McCann. Croy is best known for his work in Bay Area duo EN, wherein he processes koto, voice, and other instrumentation into ecstatic and nuanced drone-based recordings. McCann is a solo artist whose work continues to undergo seismic evolutions, manifested most recently on the justly lauded “Music for Private Ensemble,” an album of autodidactic modern composition that defies easy categorization. Working as a duo, Croy and McCann have successfully synthesized compositional and aesthetic tropes from their respective discographies in order to produce something extraordinary. “Parting Light (Suite)” opens the album with a flurry of koto, cello, and violin lines masterfully woven together; a complex movement that dissembles to reveal a more spacious environment in which each gesture takes on a heightened significance. Croy’s koto lends the piece an Eastern aura that is complicated by McCann’s playing which is equal parts idiosyncratic and grandiose. Elsewhere, “Alexandria” finds the duo operating at their most celestial, working their instruments into a harrowing, beautiful dirge comprised of clarion tones and wide-eyed string arrangements. Ultimately, the sensibility cultivated by Croy and McCann on “I” proves to be utterly unique, perhaps situated best somewhere among the soundworlds of Gavin Bryars, Taj Mahal Travellers and Richard Skelton. The LP was mastered by Rashad Becker and the jacket features exclusive monotypes by Andrew Chalk.

Terence McKenna & Riane Eisler ~ Man & Woman At The End Of History (1988)



Terence McKenna & Riane Tennenhaus Eisler 
Man And Woman At The End Of History. Ojai CA, Mill Valley CA. (1988)

This seminar examined how one of the most fundamental human relationships, that between male and female, shapes our relationship to technology and ultimately to culture and nature. We looked at the forms of relationship between women and men in the shift from a society based on domination to one based on partnership. This is an exploration of how feminism, technology and the telling of a new story will contribute to rescuing us from history. Riane Eisler is best known for her scholarily authoring of her formidable book, "Chalice and the Blade." 

Note: This recording comes from a serialization on Roy of Hollywood's show on KPFK. It ends with Terence cut short mid sentence.

Terence McKenna: Language About The Unspeakable ~ Part 6/6



Raving In The Light Of The Third Millennium
Language About The Unspeakable
Maui, Hawaii, February 1994


Firstly, many thanks to Kevin Esbensen for making this upload possible. Kevin had a VHS copy from the original event (Recorded by AXIOM, I can't find them on the net and these recordings seem to be no longer available, I will gladly remove them upon request) which he then converted to DVD and kindly sent copies to me at his own expense to be shared with the community here. I'm very grateful to be able to present this for you on Kevin's behalf.


This talk has only appeared in audio format as far as I know on The Psychedelic Salon as, "In Praise Of Psychedelics" and here as, "Speaking The Unspeakable". As a host of a channel that archives McKenna material it's a great pleasure to be able to bring you something new (to the web) that may have been lost to time if not for the foresight and generosity of Mr. Esbensen, thank you Kevin.

A Deep Dive Into The Mind Of McKenna




This Episode of The Psychedelic Salon Podcast is a must hear for any student of McKenna or casual listener alike. There are some home truths and insights into Terence that will come as a surprise to many and has made me begin listening to these talks again with this information and light shone on McKenna the person, for me it makes him all the more human, conflicted and complex a character... one of us.


Lorenzo ends the podcast with the great news that more tapes (over 160!) will be digitized and aired on The Psychedelic Salon in the coming months, so get yourselves over there and support the Podcast.


Much love, thanks and respect to Lorenzo, Bruce, Dennis and Kat for sharing this with us.
~blimp




This program is a recording of part of a live event at the Esalen Institute near Big Sur, California. The workshop, titled "Terence McKenna: Beyond 2012", was led by Bruce Damer and Lorenzo Hagerty. This specific recording took place on Saturday morning, June 16th and consists of Bruce's "deep dive" into the mind of McKenna. It begins with Bruce's "Ode to Terence" and is followed by Bruce's readings of parts of the soon-to-be published book by Terence's brother, Dennis . . . the book's title: "Brotherhood of the Screaming Abyss".
