Terence McKenna On Carl Jung, Hermeticism And The Fall of Empires

Рет қаралды 63,762

Күн бұрын

In this insightful lecture, Terence McKenna discusses Carl Jung's work and its connection to Hermeticism and alchemy. McKenna expresses a deep interest in the Hermetic arts having been influenced by Jung's studies in these fields, but not without addressing some criticism.
McKenna suggests that magic might be essential for addressing modern challenges and the world's redemption, contrasting it with the limitations of science and politics.
McKenna discusses the concept of "coincidencia oppositorum" in alchemy, which challenges scientific thinking pointing out its blind spots.
He connects alchemical philosophies with Jung's psychological insights, advocating for a revival of spiritual and esoteric traditions.
This, he proposes, could lead to a deeper, more interconnected understanding of our existence while re-empowering imagination as a pathway to unity and development.

”I think that what we want to do is make our way back to the alchemical garden. That's where our roots are. That's where meaning is. Meaning lies in the confrontation of contradiction-the coincidencia apositorum. That's what we really feel, not these rational schemas that are constantly beating us over the head with the "thou shalt" and "thou should." - Terence McKenna 🗝 Support Agrippa's Diary: patreon.com/agrippasinnersanctum 📘 One-time donations via PayPal: www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=64GVXNWU9FHVY ☕ Donate a Coffee: ko-fi.com/agrippasdiary 🎦 Subscribe to VoxOcculta: www.youtube.com/@voxocculta 📱Follow Agrippa's Diary on Tik Tok: www.tiktok.com/@agrippasdiary 📷Follow Agrippa's Diary on Instagram: instagram.com/agrippasdiary/ 📚Agrippa's Library of Occult Wisdom: www.notion.so/agrippasdiary/Agrippa-s-Occult-Library-7d915b32493a4816a8f51019245594d7?pvs=4 🗏 Link to the transcript: www.patreon.com/posts/terence-mckenna-97231706?Link& This video was made possible thanks to my Patreon supporters: 👇 Masters Of The Mysteries: Frater Incognito, H.

or the understanding of the contradiction we cannot know the light without darkness. this world is the darkness...WE are the darkness inside, with the light inside also. our selfishness and self centered-ness is the separation from DIVINE LOVE that requires 'salvation'. you believe you can provide your own salvation from your darkness, but you cannot...that is what God is demonstrating in each of us. only by trying to be our own 'god' can we find the true God. this is the real meaning of the 'tower of babel'...we think we can build our bridge to 'heaven'..."back to the garden"...but we cannot. and we will not. we will find the more we try the farther we get. the bigger they are the harder they fall.

The Philosopher’s stone I believe is materialisation of the imagination , Imagination is the Supreme power, it probably takes some training, but there again I’m probably wrong ☺️

@Chadthefatherbear 6 ай бұрын

This is not far off from what Jung was saying about the Philosopher’s Stone, though he would’ve replaced your use of the term “imagination” with the phrase ‘the creation of consciousness’ or the term ‘the Self’. Jung explained how the Philosopher’s Stone represents ‘the Self’; the ‘wholeness’ or ‘oneness’ archetype of the human psyche, which is perpetually attempting to move your psyche’s patterns of behavior toward balanced wholeness as you reconcile the chaos and disorder of opposites within. Jung didn’t use the term ‘the Self’ vaguely; he explained how, just as the stomach is a mechanism for breaking down what enters the body, ‘the Self’ is a mechanism in the psyche - the mechanism responsible for constantly seeking out wholeness, and, ultimately, higher order and truth within yourself and with regard to the outside physical world.

The purpose of the magic is always changing, as the cosmos is always ticking. Terence’s conclusion fits in very well with the fact that we are entering the ascending Kali Yuga, or ascending/redeemed iron(dark) age. Shamanism, and spirit must be used to redeem an ancient natural nobility, a connection to the earth, and a fostering of a new humanity and world order.

It is a AI voice- as stated in the notes of the video, but if this was ever an actual lecture that McKenna gave is unclear. My current guess is that it is compiled from McKenna's writings. My concern is to find out if the text is actually 100% McKenna or not. It is obviously based on his work, but if it is edited by a third party (my guess at this point) it's authenticity is not guaranteed. Actually, there is no way it could be guaranteed, in the world of AI. It might be a "lecture" by a third party using McKenna's ideas as content. A remix, of sorts. I'll be happy to find out.

What a preposterous way to spend the scientific currency of not only rudimentary AI but also this platform and its capabilities. But he also saw the internet as the great liberator, equal to psychedelics, in the way it would modify human society. In a way this is one of the most TM things I can think of.

Psychedelic's can open your mind and remove some debris but also will illusion the participant over time.

I am not aware of any great practitioners of the Alchemy Arts in the information age. But I assume a few exist.

I wonder what Terence would think of artificial intelligence giving a lecture on hermeticism with his voice? I think he’d be chuffed at the novelty of it. Is the text his? Was this from an actual McKenna lecture?

Yes, you can find the original lecture and the transcript in the video description.

AI. Please put a disclaimer at the beginning of the video.

It’s literally stated in the first 15 seconds of the video that the voice has been remastered using AI technology. The original lecture(audio/text) that was used to create this lecture is also in the description and in the pinned comment. The degree of superficiality is outrageous. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to bring this content to the light when I receive such comments.

C'mon people, yes the voice is AI but what's said in the video does belong to Mckenna. Just cause the voice is artificial doesn't mean the rest is too. Do a quick google search and you'll find the lectures from Mckenna on Alchemy and The Hermetic Corpus.

Thank you, the links to the original sources are in the description as well. ❤️‍🔥

What’s going on here? Is this a transcript you’ve read from McKenna or just a script you wrote and performed, then run through an AI?

@mattwivs 6 ай бұрын

It's interesting that McKenna recommends Francis Yates' book on Giordano Bruno for a primer on alchemy, when that book has not the slightest mention of it. Indeed, Bruno never made any reference to alchemy in his work, as far as I know. But the link is that Hermetic thought grounds both the Alchemical work and Bruno's theological polemics. Hermeticism has supposed links to Thoth, and Alchemy suggests the ancient land of Kemet. And yet, the prevailing scholarship, which McKenna cites, only dates these schools of thought to 1st-3rd CE. Such a conundrum!

I dunno. This appears to be a weak Ai simulacra of Terence's distinct voice. Is the text even McKenna's? There is a creepiness

Please consider using original source material only. This is clearly an AI version of Terrence McKenna as is evident by the pronunciation of words like 'lead' and 'pseudo'. 🙏🏻

The texts have been Hellenized, however the work is much older. And the Greeks took the concepts laid out by the masters of Egypt.

The title is misleading. A bleached lecture, blind to the deeper force of his wisdom. He would say 'consume the real thing'

For whatever reason I always hear a phaser effect on Terence's voice - even the a.i. version of it apparently. This would be one of the few examples of the good use of a.i. voice-overs. Unfortunately, an avalanche of a.i kitch and torpor in coming.
