I think that people don't understand. As the Firesign Theater used to say, 'Everything you know is wrong.' But that is a very liberating understanding, because if everything you know is wrong, then all the problems you thought were insoluble can be framed differently.

More quotes by Terence McKenna

If the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be believed.

We are being sucked into the body of eternity.

We don't really understand what consciousness is at the really deep levels.

We cannot expect to cross the rainbow bridge through a good act of contrition; that will not be sufficient.
We have to understand.

New Maps of Hyperspace (1989)

One is then apart from the moving image; one exists in the completion of eternity.
