Additional quotes by Terence McKenna

I've been thinking like this since 1968, talking about it like this since 1980, but I never knew what … how it would come or what it would be. In the last few years, with the rise of a technological, a cultural artefact like the Internet, I now see how it will make its way into the world. We are building the nervous system of the human oversoul. We are individual units operating under social rules that are pushing us ever closer toward dissolving our societies … societies—human groups run by rules—into telepathic collectivities of some sort. … We have come to the end of our sojourn in matter. We have come to the end of our separateness.
