Progress of human civilization in the area of defining human freedom is not made from the top down. No king, no parliament, no government ever extended to the people more rights than the people insisted upon.

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.
