Terence McKenna (via hippierev0luti0n)
Terence Mckenna is a soothsayer from the past, he was marginalized by the mainstream for his often wacky views on evolution but he was one of the smartest, critical thinking philosophers of our time. He may be dead but this is his time, he is more relevant than ever.

‘The anti-corporatism protesters, that have not been everywhere in mainstream media, despite having occupied Wall Street for nearly two weeks now, claim to be “the 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%” in the US.
Although the above mentioned figures might not be entirely correct, they do suggest the land of the free and home of the brave to be an unequal society.
In fact, as explained by Professor George William Domhoff, author of the book Who Rules America?, the top 1% of the US population owned 42.7% of all available financial wealth in 2007. The next 19% owned 50.3% while the remaining 80% shared a tiny 7% of the country’s financial wealth.
To make an already gloomy picture worse, the Great Recession only commenced in the end of 2007. Since then, the haves and the haves-more have been hovering in wealth like a vacuum cleaner.
Meanwhile, a recently released US Census Bureau report revealed poverty in the land of the free has for a fourth consecutive year increased.
It further showed that 15.1% of citizens in the world’s largest free-market economy in 2010 lived below the country’s poverty threshold. That’s some 46.2 million US citizens.’
There appears to be an almost complete mainstream blackout on news about this. The top 1% or top 20% have control over the media that informs the bottom 80%.
This was on the fifth night, and when they slept that night each had a vivid dream of a splendid woman whose eyes were as soft as feather and as deep as eternity itself, and whose body was the spectacular dance of atoms and universes. Pyrotechnics of pure energy formed her flowing hair, and rainbows manifested and dissolved as she spoke in a warm and gentle voice:
‘I have come to tell you that you are free. Many ages ago, My consciousness left man, that he might develop himself. I return to find this development approaching completion, but hindered by fear and by misunderstanding.
You have built for yourselves psychic suits of armor, and clad in them, your vision is restricted, your movements are clumsy and painful, your skin is bruised, and your spirit is broiled in the sun.
I am chaos. I am the substance from which your artists and scientists build rhythms. I am the spirit with which your children and clowns laugh in happy anarchy. I am chaos. I am alive, and I tell you that you are free.’
