description: A talk by Terence McKenna about how our global culture is preparing to depart for the stars so we must begin to pack for the trip. He begins with a discussion of botanical dimensions of folk medicine which are lost in pharmacology and how this is being uncovered by the New Age archaic revival. McKenna envisions an end to the current age which has consisted of eons of boredom. He goes on to discuss the growing wonder of the universe as presented by leading astronomers Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan. Our individual preparation must start with the re-exploration of the visionary insights from non-western people who use psychedelics within a transformational context.
