True Hallucinations

Being an Account of the Author's Extraordinary Adventures in the Devil's Paradise

De: Terence McKenna

Narrado por: Al Kessel

This mesmerizing, surreal account of the bizarre adventures of Terence McKenna, his brother Dennis, and a small band of their friends, is a wild ride of exotic experience and scientific inquiry. Exploring the Amazon Basin in search of mythical shamanic hallucinogens, they encounter a host of unusual characters - including a mushroom, a flying saucer, pirate Mantids from outer space, an appearance by James and Nora Joyce in the guise of poultry, and translinguistic matter - and discover the missing link in the development of human consciousness and language.

One of its kind!

Terence McKenna knows how to set up the story for you. Instead of jumping right into his accounts, the book sets up the entire setting, and relationships between the group very well. This makes for a more intimate listen and feel for the author. I respect Terence McKenna's work since he had less conventional approach to his studies and research. His and the group's accounts of the strange things happening between them are very revealing. I wish there were of his books on here. Must read!

incredibly funny and captivating story!

incredibly funny and captivating story! there's a 15 word minimum. I'm not quite there yet

my new favorite of the month

really wish McKenna was still here on earth
insightful , funny informative , lots of new information and some still not proven and undoubtedly true....

A Good background of Terence’s life

I enjoyed this story, it went into depths of their voyage in la churera that I had never heard. I can’t give the narrator 5 stars because I’m so used to hearing Terence talk and no one can really fill his shoes.

great stuff, gets a little lost in the time wave

Really enjoyed the traveling stories and mushroom adventures. got very bored with the deep end of the time wave theory which is maybe 20 percent of the book. so 80 percent great. well worth it.

Mind Blowing!!

His journey was inspiring and crazy detailed. I will listen to it again. I would recommend this book to all who has an expanding mind. Who wants to hear about sphycedelics on a whole new level. My favorite book under sphycedelics!!

Terrence McKenna I love you!

Thank you for writing this Terrence! Great narration and fascinating content. Highly recommend this book

real research on an etheric topic

hallucinagens will be part of our human legacy as long as we dream as extensions of our consciousness, which will be always. So, I'm glad for the extraordinary work of this book to bring hallucinagens , namely magic mushrooms to the forefront of discussion that they be used both responsibly and with Sacred intent to expand our own consciousness into the next level for humanity

Awesomesauce

It is suspicious that all his stuff is vanishing off the internet. They trying to silence everything so ai can just take over already:(

Unbelievable! and yet...

Um. Wow. Gotta say I totally recommend listening to this book... Is it a description of possibility, cutting through a few too many veils, ethnobotany, anthropology of consciousness, a view of the close past and future, an adventure tale, partial eclipse of madness returned with gifts...I don't know how many people could get through a written version of this...I listened with my mouth frequently hanging open or saying whaaaaatttt even though I am familiar with most of the key words in here. Uhhhh. Wow. If anything, Terrence McKenna is a frontiersman in Western culture. Jingies!!!!
