Reddit reviews True Hallucinations: Being an Account of the Author's Extraordinary Adventures in the Devil's Paradise

I have not, but I have read and listened to a lot of work by people like Terrence McKenna. I really like True Hallucinations: Being an Account of the Author's Extraordinary Adventures in the Devil's Paradise. And I've read almost the entire catalogs of Hunter S Thompson and Ken Kesey.

I also love Quantum science (I'm getting close to melting my blu-ray set of Cosmos I watch it so much).

I'll definitely check it out!

EDIT: Just reserved it from my library system. This is the right one, correct?

>The sea was made of strontium; the beach was made of rye. Above my head, a watery sun shone in an oily sky. A thousand stars of sertraline whirled round quetiapine moons, and the sand sizzled sharp like cooking oil that hissed and sang and threatened to boil the octahedral dunes.

>“Okay,” I said. “Fine. Let me tell you where I’m coming from. I was reading Scott McGreal’s blog, which has some good articles about so-called DMT entities, and mentions how they seem so real that users of the drug insist they’ve made contact with actual superhuman beings and not just psychedelic hallucinations. You know, the usual📷 Terence McKenna stuff. But in one of them he mentions a paper by Marko Rodriguez called A Methodology For Studying Various Interpretations of the N,N-dimethyltryptamine-Induced Alternate Reality, which suggested among other things that you could prove DMT entities were real by taking the drug and then asking the entities you meet to factor large numbers which you were sure you couldn’t factor yourself. So to that end, could you do me a big favor and tell me the factors of 1,522,605,027, 922,533,360, 535,618,378, 132,637,429, 718,068,114, 961,380,688, 657,908,494, 580,122,963, 258,952,897, 654,000,350, 692,006,139?

Do you know of any attempts to verify if contact is real, like in the quote above?

​

Because if we lack verification, it's more likely that human minds just happen to have a common, reproducible flaw: thinking they came in contact with higher consciousness when chemical brain imbalance happens. One way to reliably reproduce the bug is taking DMT.

Ahh...

I highly recommend starting with this beautiful book: True Hallucinations. It's an account of some of his travels in the Amazon, and includes many artfully told tales of his first / early experiences with psilocybe mushrooms and various DMT containing substances.

A wonderful audiobook of it exists, in which Terence Mckenna reads the book to you himself with light electronic accompaniment.

Terrence McKenna - True Hallucinations.

That's why I said something about it, so you would be aware that some people use the term differently. A book of the same name was published by McKenna in the late 80s.
