Terence McKenna True Hallucinations & Food of the Gods
Terence McKenna Books
1/ Food of the Gods - The search for the original tree of knowledge
A radical history of plants, drugs human evolution
Copyright 1992
Over twenty years ago, Terence McKenna encountered the visionary, ecstatic journeys of African tribes, and Native Americans. Food of the Gods is the startling, unexpected story of his discoveries. It provides a convincing missing link to explain humankind's development of language, intelligence and culture - a link that may be as shocking to our modern sensibilities as Darwin's theories were to the Victorians.As McKenna reminds us, the myth of our culture opens in the Garden of Eden with the eating of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Our ancestors long ago discovered that cretain plants diminish pain, supply burst of energy, confer immunity against pathogens, and catalyze creativity. In many cultures, priests and priestesses used magic mushrooms, liquors, and herbs to merge with the living mystery of nature and god. The loss of this shamanc gnosis led to the develpment of highly addictive compounds - like distilled alchohol and white sugar - and the first hard drugs, morphine heroine.
McKenna reviews the history of drugs in the East adn West, from the ancient spice trade to marijuanan, cocained, and other refined modern substances, including the ultimate plug-in placater - television. He ends with a master plan for resolving contemporary drug problems, examinging why the pursuit of happiness is illegal if it involves plants found in nature and addressing the continuing furore over lealising drugs.
2/ True Hallucinations 0 Being an Accoutn of the Author's Extraordinary Adventures in teh Devil's paradise
This mesmerizing, surreal accoun of the bizarre adventures of Terence McKenna, his brother Dennis, and a small band of their friends, is a wild ride of exotic sexperience and scientific inquiry.
