We want freedom. we want freedom from the constraints of the cycles of the sun and the moon. we want freedom from drought and weather, freedom from the movement of game, the growth of plants, freedom from control from mendacious popes and kings, freedom from ideology, freedom from want. this idea of freeing ourselves has become the compass of the human journey.

We Want Freedom. We Want Freedom From

More From Terence McKenna

In less than a century we experienced great movement. the youth movement! the labor movement! the civil rights movement! the peace movement! the solidarity movement! the women's movement! the disability movement! the disarmament movement! the gay rights movement! the environmental movement! movement! transformation! is there any reason to believe we are done?

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.

Every work of art (unless it is a psuedo-intellectualist work, a work already comprised in some ideology that it merely illustrates, as with brecht) is outside ideology, is not reducible to ideology. ideology circumscribes without penetrating it. the absence of ideology in a work does not mean an absence of ideas; on the contrary it fertilizes them.
Art Mean Ideas
I think ideology is toxic, all ideology. it's not that there are good ones and bad ones. all ideology is toxic, because ideology is a kind of insult to the gift of human free thinking.
Life Thinking Toxic
Inwardness is the characteristic feature of the vegetable rather than the animal approach to existence. the animals move, migrate and swarm, while plants hold fast. plants live in a dimension characterised by solid state, the fixed and the enduring. if there is movement in the consciousness of plants then it must be the movement of spirit and attention in the domain of vegetal imagination. (...) this is the truth that the shamans have always known and practiced. awareness of the green side of mind was called veriditas by the twelfth century visionary hildegard von bingen.

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.

You can easily die racing to cover a bank robbery as you can in a war zone.
War Racing Robbery
To ensure attaining an objective, one should have alternate objectives. an attack that converges on one point should threaten, and be able to diverge against another. only by this flexibility of aim can strategy be attuned to the uncertainty of war.
Military War Should Have
The cultural wars of the sixties are over. i've reconciled with those who were my critics and opponents years ago. i was at odds with some those who were black nationalists. yet when feminists attempted to end my career and leave me as literary road kill, it was the black nationalists who came to my rescue.
