More From Terence McKenna

Without a doubt, one of the things which keeps us from attaining perfection is our tongue. when one has reached the point of no longer committing faults in speech, he has surely reached perfection, as was said by the holy spirit. the worst defect in talking is talking too much. hence, in speech be brief and virtuous, brief and gentle, brief and simple, brief and charitable, brief and amiable.

On these matters of specific fact, like is the mushroom an extraterrestrial and that sort of thing, i haven't the faintest idea. the mushroom itself is such a mercurial, elusive, zen sort of personality that i never believe a word it says. i simply entertain its notions and try and sort through them, and i found that to be the most enriching approach to it.
