	ALIENS AND ARCHETYPES with TERENCE McKENNA
		McKENNA: Yes, nature is a communicating system of some sort, and the problem that we have is to transcend cultural languages, historically created languages with very limited applications, and instead fall into phase with the communication systems that nature has placed all around us.
		McKENNA: Oh yes, this is an important point to make, which the flying saucer people are forever misunderstanding, and that is that saying the flying saucer is a psychic object does not mean it is not a physical object.
		McKENNA: Yes, I think that the UFO phenomenon is a modern manifestation of a phemonenon which has been with us for thousands of years -- that is, the partial penetration of our own cultural space by others -- pixies, elves, fairies, sprites, demons, whatever you wish to call them.

		McKenna’s quest led him to Nepal and Tibet, where his studies of central Asian art and culture reaffirmed his belief that, contrary to Timothy Leary and Ralph Metzner’s assertions in their switched-on version of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the psychedelic experience had no strict corollaries in traditional systems of esoteric thought.
		Intriguingly, McKenna was raised in the Catholic tradition, a background he shares with one of his acknowledged influences, the devout Roman Catholic Marshall McLuhan.
		Likewise, for McKenna, a self-styled "mouthpiece for the incarnate Logos," history will only achieve closure when the disembodying technology of language is at last re-embodied---when the Word is made flesh, in other words.

		Terrence McKenna is widely acknowledged to be one of the world's foremost authorities on the shamanic use of botanical hallucinogens, and unlike Leary and Castenada, he is a true scholar, who apparently is speaking in earnest about a topic he feels is very important.
		Probably the most significant argument McKenna makes is that the Church and State have colluded in suppressing, penalizing, and attempting to actually eradicate anyone who proposes that the altered perception which occurs upon the ingestion of these alkaloids is, in fact, essential to understanding the true nature of the universe.
		Terence Mckenna is not just a scientist, philosopher, theorist, new age thinker, and shamman, he is someone who took it upon himself, at the cost of his own life, to teach humankind the truth, or something that came closer to truth than any other intellectual or prophet in human history.
