Title: Here's a big one ! A different perspective can help. T$ Mckenna...

I've come to rely on this man to remind me of the bigger picture, higher ideals, more meaningful goals - especially when I feel bogged down in the banal and mundane.

Have a listen. Enjoy! Thank me later.

One should roll a joint, better two, and prepare a glass of wine before clicking on the link! :)

I remember listening to this History ends in green lecture at few years ago. Definitely one of my favourite pieces from him.

Yay @mmmmm !   I was worried this would fall on deaf ears.

Although his talks center allot on the neo shamanic use of psychedelics, the archaic revival from which he draws inspiration - I think his ideas have a relevance that goes beyond. The only thing a person really needs to get high on to appreciate this is the big mind altering ideas themselves. (Tho enjoy it anyway you want!)

Cosmology has the same effect on me ,, though is pretty prohibitive  and inaccessible for most as academic subjects tend to be. Anyone with an open mind can get Terrence...

No, no... we have a huge T. McKenna fan here! I've read plenty of his books, but even more I love to listen to his voice.. it just sends me away, and I could listen to him for hours and hours.
While I agree with you that no though enhancement solutions are needed, it is sometimes most welcome to listen to the same sentences again from a slightly different point of view...
