Terrence McKenna has spent twenty-five years exploring "the ethnopharmacology of spiritual transformation" and is a specialist in the ethnomedicine of the Amazon basin. He is coauthor, with his brother Dennis, of The Invisible Landscape: Mind, Hallucinogens, and the I Ching, and the author of Food of the Gods.
This mesmerizing, surreal account of the bizarre adventures of Terence McKenna, his brother Dennis, and a small band of their friends, is a wild ride of exotic experience and scientific inquiry. Exploring the Amazon Basin in search of mythical shamanic hallucinogens, they encounter a host of unusual characters -- including a mushroom, a flying saucer, pirate Mantids from outer space, an appearance by James and Nora Joyce in the guise of poultry, and translinguistic matter -- and discover the missing link in the development of human consciousness and language.
Very entertaining This book is an adventurer's tale; a gripping account of the harrowing experiences of a group of hippie thrill-seekers. This book is a real page-turner. It reads like a good novel, and there is never a dull moment. It is simply a blow-by-blow account of the author's drug-induced experiences in the Amazon jungle, a cross between an episode of National Geographic Explorer and an article out of High Times. Some Terence Mckenna enthusiasts might be somewhat dissapointed, however, because _True Hallucinations_ is not a potent philosophical work like his other books. It is not an attempt to root out the meaning of existence or discover the origins of the universe, but is instead just an entertaining romp through the jungle. Also an update: Dennis McKenna is alive and well and has been actively researching ethnopharmacology for 40 years. His writings have been published in scientific journals and his latest ideas are available on youtube and other internet sites and blogs. This is to correct and retract my earlier assertion that he somehow experienced bad side effects as a result of his research.What a trip! McKenna is a wonderful storyteller, thinker, and fellow weirdo. I can relate to many of the bizarre moments in this book and have gone through psychosis similar to Dennis. It was odd to see the synchronicities in my personal universe portrayed in This book which is why I enjoyed it. I don’t believe if you’re an absolutist you will enjoy McKenna’s writings/lectures in general.Amazing read for any psychonaut.. Reductionists beware An absolutely amazing read! However I will say, if you have a reductionist or mechanicalistic view of the world and or have never had a proper psychedelic experience, this book will aggravate you beyond belief.With that being said, I found that this book offers a number of thrilling stories, theories, and insights. All of which ultimately lead the reader down the path of further understanding and inquiry into our very surreal connection with psilocybin containing fungi and the universe.Gifting to a friend that has been yearning to read this for some time now. Highly recommend.RIP Terence
