  Terence McKenna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McKenna was a contemporary and colleague of Ralph Abraham, Rupert Sheldrake, and Riane Eisler and participated in joint workshops and symposiums with them.
McKenna also co-founded Botanical Dimensions with Kathleen Harrison (his colleague and wife of 17 years), a non-profit ethnobotanical preserve on the Island of Hawaii, where he lived for many years before he died.
In addition, because McKenna (who describes himself as "an explorer, not a scientist") is also a proponent of much wilder suppositions, such as his "Timewave Zero" theory, his more reasonable theories are usually disregarded by the very scientists whose informed criticism is crucial for their development.

 Novelty theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McKenna interpreted the fractal nature and resonances of the wave, as well as his theory of the I Ching's artificial arrangement, to show that the events of any given time are recursively related to the events of other times.
However, McKenna was highly critical of such fields for adhering to what he saw as a flawed Western dominated paradigm, and did not seek to create a theory acceptable to the mathematical community.
McKenna was adept at this, and Rupert Sheldrake complained that the theory required his personality for its demonstration.

 Timewave Zero and Language
Looking at the I Ching from a quantum physics perspective, Terence and his brother Dennis discovered a wave pattern in the ordering of the Tarot's trigrams and hexagrams that suggested time could be mapped.
Since the I Ching is particularly concerned with the dynamic relationships and transformations that archetypes undergo, McKenna intuited that the I Ching must also be deeply involved with the nature of time as the necessary condition for the manifestation of archetypes as categories of experience.
In the second part of this article, McKenna discusses the repercussions of our collective approach to Timewave Zero and how psychedelics can be used to condition ourselves for our upcoming move into of the body of eternity and out of three-dimensional time and space.

 [No title]
Dennis McKenna, who founded e.Republic in 1983, says the Hubbard-based training is completely optional and adds, "In 18 years we've never had a complaint." But perhaps that's because some employees don't feel like they can complain.
While McKenna seems to go to great pains to say that his company's prevalence of Scientologists is a non-story, some of his own employees are clearly spooked by the religion.
But McKenna says that all employees are told in the interview process that the company uses Hubbard training methods, and besides, he adds, those training methods aren't the same thing as the religion anyway.

 Terence McKenna's True Hallucinations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
On the one hand, McKenna, who possesses an enormously rich and evocative bardic vocabulary, is unquestionably brilliant and stimulating, with a depth of cultural perspective and psychedelic vision that is both illuminating and provocative.
A huge saving grace, however, is McKenna's sense of humor about himself, and his frank admission that in a certain sense he is merely a communicator for ideas of a transcendental original, or more precisely, that he plays the role of hyper-dimensional memetic transducer.
This steady, unhesitating, and articulate voice has had its effect, for it is McKenna who has commanded some of the biggest audiences and most enthusiastic responses at psychedelic and alternative consciousness conferences and events of all types.
