More From Terence McKenna

I believe in islam. i am a muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of islam. it just teaches us to believe in allah as the god. those of you who are christian probably believe in the same god, because i think you believe in the god who created the universe. that's the one we believe in, the one who created universe - the only difference being you call him god and we call him allah. the jews call him jehovah. if you could understand hebrew, you would probably call him jehovah too. if you could understand arabic, you would probably call him allah.

Call-time has renewed my faith in the need for public financing of elections. call-time is where i as the candidate, sit in a room with my “call-time manager,” and a phone. then i call people and ask them for money. for hours. apparently, i’m really good at it.

Different people call on [god] by different names: some as allah, some as god, and others as krishna, siva, and brahman. it is like the water in a lake. some drink it at one place and call it 'jal', others at another place and call it 'pani', and still others at a third place and call it 'water'. the hindus call it 'jal', the christians 'water', and the moslems 'pani'. but it is one and the same thing.

When you call me european, i say yes. when you call me arab, i say yes. when you call me black, i say yes. when you call me white, i say yes. because i am in you and you are in me. we have to inter-be with everything in the cosmos.

The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. they call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. they call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. they call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. they promise the blessings of the garden of eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau.

Time is only an idea. there is only the reality. whatever you think it is, it looks like that. if you call it time, it is time. if you call it existence, it is existence, and so on. after calling it time, you divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc. time is immaterial for the path of knowledge.

Vanish. pass into nothingness: the keats line that frightened her. fade as the blue nights fade, go as the brightness goes. go back into the blue. i myself placed her ashes in the wall. i myself saw the cathedral doors locked at six. i know what it is i am now experiencing. i know what the frailty is, i know what the fear is. the fear is not for what is lost. what is lost is already in the wall. what is lost is already behind the locked doors. the fear is for what is still to be lost. you may see nothing still to be lost. yet there is no day in her life on which i do not see her.

Art and power will go on as they have done,--will make day out of night, time out of space, and space out of time.

My desires are foolish. the things i want are better kept to myself. the hand of silence is steady. the hard blade of silence is clean like night. the code is absolute. silence is eternal and patient. silence never makes a fool of itself like i have so many times.
Night Hands Silence
I believe in dreams. i believe that every night on the planet everything that is, was and can be is dreamt. i believe that what happens in dreams is no different no less important than what happens in the waking world. i believe that dreams are the closest equvalent present-day mankind has to trime travel.
