This is a seminar with Terence McKenna in which he talks about his book "Food of the Gods", werry good stuff! :-)



"Food of the Gods", follows from "Flesh of the Gods", the seminal collection of papers on the ritual use of hallucinogens, edited by Peter Furst and published in 1972. The theory that McKenna puts forward, is an honest and heartfelt attempt, to move the issue of drug-induced intoxication to center stage.



McKenna sees the World in the blue-grey flesh of the psilocybin mushroom. He is a meta-Kantian, holding that the very phenomenon of sentiience itself is a function of a symbiotic relationship between homo sapiens and the plant species that contain psychoactive alkaloids.
