The Trip: Journey to the center of Terence McKenna's inner elf.Terence McKenna has become one of the most (in)famous figures in the exploration of psychedeliaand its impact on society and technology. Here McKenna espouses his theories on psychedelic mushrooms,virtual reality, shamanism and evolution.This is definitely one of the strangest and most interesting articles I have ever read. Atfirst it seems almost totally incomprehensible and inconceivable, but after reading it over acouple of times with a good dictionary and thesaurus it begins to make sense.In this article McKenna explains one of his trips on magic mushrooms. He describes thistrip as "a virtual reality tour of God's cerebral cortex, hosted by the Lucky Charms leprechaun". He then goes on to tell how this trip affected his life and how it was such a complete shock thatit caused the literal turning inside-out of his intellectual universe. He was knocked off his feetand set himself the goal of understanding this. His quest led him all over the world, exploringtraditions of magic-religious drug usage.In the years since his fateful encounter with the self-transforming machine elves ofhyperspace, McKenna has fashioned his mental Merzbau on the New Age lecture circuit, wherehe has earned the benediction of the psychedelic High Priest himself, who dubbed him "theTimothy Leary of the 90's".McKenna has written several books as well as having rave bands set his ruminations tobillowing techno-trance music.The main focus of this article is on McKenna's theory, which is concocted frompsychedelic Darwinism, fringe linguistics, and New Age eschatology. This theory is based onthe notion that "Hallucinogenic plants may have been the catalysts for everything about us thatdistinguishes us from other primates, except perhaps the loss of body hair".During one of McKenna's more memorable trips the mushroom told him that it isliterally not from this world; in fact, it is an alien symbiote whose spores were borne across thegalaxy.This may all seem a little far fetched to most people, but nothing is impossible! .
