PROGRAM NOTES:

(Minutes : Seconds into program)Paul Stamets, Jonathan Ott, Terence McKenna and a friend near the ruins at Palenque, Mexico 1996

05:33 Terence begins with a discussion of “the felt presence of immediate experience.”

08:10 Terence McKenna: “The thing I like about the Zippy culture and the house, trance-dance, techno culture is that it’s about feeling. The combination of young people, drugs, a fairly sexually charged social environment, and syncopated music is just all designed to draw you into you and your friends and your scene, and your hood, and your place in the cosmos and not sell you out as a consumer to Hollywood, or Manhattan-manufactured forms of entertainment.”
