In this talk, given in 1995, Terence McKenna said:
"History is the enunciation of the nearby presence of a transformational event."
***Correction:*** I believe what Terence actually said is "History is the annunciation......" not enunciation. The statement seems to make more sense this way.
The thoughts that emerged in my mind are:
Human History; which when compared to galactic and cosmic time is a mere beating of a hummingbird's wing; can be seen as the most complex of all the processes that have emerged within the Universe. It is an indication that the eschaton, the singularity, is but a stone's throw away. The "transformative event" is the Galactic Butterfly. We are the thespians of a grand production called "Self-Awareness." As citizens of this cycle-ending, it us up to us whether this bold, new medium is carried to the next level, or swept under the rug of failed evolutionary processes.
Who needs caffeine when you have McKenna and Mayan Time Philosophy?
