WEBVTT 00:47.600 --> 00:50.360 This is the story of an international journey of discovery. 00:51.040 --> 00:51.800 My name is Teal. 00:52.260 --> 00:58.160 Join me on the Millennium Tour as I set sail on a quest for truth at the dawn of a whole new era. 00:59.160 --> 01:04.640 My first adventure took me 2,000 miles west of my home in California to the Big Island of Hawaii, 01:05.060 --> 01:09.680 land of fire and ice, where the earth itself liquefies and nothing is as it seems. 01:09.940 --> 01:14.580 Here is a gateway to another dimension, a place where time itself has come undone. 01:14.580 --> 01:17.980 When I got off the plane, I could feel the energy of the island. 01:18.480 --> 01:22.560 I ran to the rally sport and was issued a harsh warning about going on the saddle road. 01:23.080 --> 01:25.440 Speeding south across the island to meet with Terrence McKenna, 01:25.620 --> 01:28.080 I came across a hitchhiker by the name of Matt Richter. 01:30.480 --> 01:32.040 Hey, how's it, man? You going to Pahala? 01:32.260 --> 01:33.540 Yeah, I'm going down there. What are you doing? 01:33.680 --> 01:37.340 I'm going down to the Black Sand Beaches. 01:37.840 --> 01:41.780 What's your name? 01:42.320 --> 01:43.520 I'm Matt. Matt Richter. 01:44.860 --> 01:49.560 Richter informed me that he pilots helicopters and offered to show me the island from the air. 01:49.560 --> 01:51.960 I thought this might be a little dangerous. 01:52.440 --> 01:57.700 Do you want to die at the end of when you're old or however you end up passing away from this world, 01:57.820 --> 02:00.780 saying that, oh, God, I could have done this or I should have done that? 02:01.480 --> 02:03.820 Nobody should be the king or queen of could have. 02:07.200 --> 02:16.500 Going Richter is going Richter is using all of your energy to succeed in whatever you want to succeed in, 02:16.580 --> 02:20.700 to open your mind to new ways, new ways of thinking, new activities. 02:20.700 --> 02:26.320 Go out and meet different people, speak different languages, travel the world, experience. 02:26.540 --> 02:29.220 Life is about experience. Why not experience it all? 02:29.460 --> 02:34.040 We're headed west to YPO Valley to check out some waterfalls on the way to see Terrence McKenna, the psychedelic shaman. 02:34.720 --> 02:51.380 The Millennium Tour rolled to the west side of Mauna Loa, 02:51.620 --> 02:55.760 where I was fortunate to have an opportunity to grow the truth with Terrence McKenna. 02:55.760 --> 03:01.240 Author, ethnobotanist, and psychedelic pioneer, he is an explorer of human consciousness, 03:01.880 --> 03:04.760 ripe for a vision I asked about the new galactic millennium. 03:04.760 --> 03:14.720 In these years, between 2000 and 2012, there's a very long cycle of Earth movement 03:14.720 --> 03:18.920 that is returning to alignment to the galactic center. 03:19.480 --> 03:25.480 It's the largest cycle that the Earth makes that human beings have ever observed, 03:25.480 --> 03:32.440 and it's returning now to its end point, which it does every 26,000 years. 03:34.940 --> 03:41.640 What 2000 brings is an enormous sense of a clean slate, of starting over. 03:42.140 --> 03:45.420 And thank God, you know, enough already. 03:45.640 --> 03:51.420 The religion is full of shit, the money is printed on toilet paper, fame is worthless. 03:51.420 --> 03:55.300 The important thing at this moment is your humanness. 03:55.760 --> 04:00.560 And the major thing making war on your humanness is your culture. 04:00.920 --> 04:02.660 Culture is not your friend. 04:03.420 --> 04:05.260 Culture is a con. 04:06.160 --> 04:11.880 You know, class boundaries, language boundaries, gender boundaries, all this stuff is melting. 04:12.340 --> 04:19.160 The universe seems to be evolving toward ever greater connection. 04:19.160 --> 04:29.160 And the only end that can come to that process is the moment when every point is connected to every other point. 04:33.160 --> 04:37.900 This is probably the most important moment in human history. 04:38.120 --> 04:40.480 Tell me about the tree of life. 04:40.480 --> 04:47.580 Well, as I understand the tree of life, it's a metaphor for a certain kind of connectivity. 04:47.980 --> 04:57.280 It's a global archetypal symbol of life understood in a certain way. 04:57.500 --> 05:01.960 A good example of this tree metaphor is the Internet. 05:01.960 --> 05:06.960 I really think the Internet is the tip of the evolutionary iceberg. 05:08.360 --> 05:12.820 In other words, you know, people are waiting for Jesus to come. 05:12.920 --> 05:15.780 They're waiting for the flying saucers to bail them out. 05:15.920 --> 05:18.240 They're waiting for Earth changes. 05:18.660 --> 05:20.880 Meanwhile, the Internet is here. 05:21.400 --> 05:30.800 The Internet is more life-changing than an alien invasion, far more interesting than an Earth change. 05:30.800 --> 05:33.540 It's here. Information is power. 05:33.760 --> 05:38.440 And it's the power not to build, but to dissolve what has been built. 05:38.440 --> 05:39.440 Dissolve the boundaries. 05:39.620 --> 05:40.720 Dissolve the boundaries. 05:41.140 --> 05:44.080 What people can't think, they are unaware of. 05:44.500 --> 05:49.260 Say you're running the operating system called Science 5.0. 05:49.380 --> 05:51.460 It does not support astrology. 05:51.460 --> 05:58.280 It does not support proctologists from other star systems making unannounced house calls. 05:58.280 --> 06:00.960 What do you mean proctologists from other star systems? 06:01.100 --> 06:01.760 I don't get it. 06:02.320 --> 06:04.040 You know what a proctologist is? 06:04.400 --> 06:05.140 Why don't you tell me? 06:05.560 --> 06:06.700 A butt doctor. 06:07.820 --> 06:09.620 I try not to know those guys. 06:10.320 --> 06:16.600 You know, thinking the unthinkable is the task of pushing cultural boundaries further out. 06:16.600 --> 06:23.320 If it's utterly shocking to you to imagine the president receiving a blowjob in the Oval Office 06:23.320 --> 06:28.840 and you learn that this in fact occurred, what the end result is, you are educated. 06:29.100 --> 06:30.060 Your cultural boundaries... 06:30.060 --> 06:31.720 Your awareness has been raised. 06:32.160 --> 06:33.520 Toward the truth. 06:33.780 --> 06:37.980 Because the truth was, of course presidents get blowjobs in the Oval Office. 06:37.980 --> 06:44.660 If you're trying to reach objective truth, you have to come through the cultural filter, 06:45.000 --> 06:49.880 you have to come through the body filter, and then you have to come through the categorical filter. 06:50.000 --> 06:55.440 In other words, you have to examine the method by which you're trying to understand reality. 06:55.720 --> 06:57.880 Whoa, that was weird, Terrence. 06:58.140 --> 06:59.700 It looks like a wormhole to me. 07:00.040 --> 07:03.920 There's no way to tell whether this is a recorded medium or not. 07:04.300 --> 07:05.980 Is it fiber optic cable? 07:05.980 --> 07:09.880 In other words, there's no way to tell if this has happened before. 07:10.240 --> 07:10.520 Really? 07:11.040 --> 07:16.400 If cartoon creatures, they would make the same assumptions, 07:16.660 --> 07:21.380 they wouldn't know that they were frames of film running through machines, 07:21.560 --> 07:23.820 spinning from one reel to another. 07:24.260 --> 07:25.520 Would you jump into the wormhole? 07:25.900 --> 07:27.300 I would jump into the wormhole. 07:27.500 --> 07:32.060 It might be condition in reality. 07:32.060 --> 07:37.660 It seems to me it's highly unlikely that this is live in real time. 07:37.660 --> 07:39.760 Oh, I learned a lot today. 07:40.660 --> 07:42.280 So, Terrence, would you use hemp toilet paper? 07:42.820 --> 07:45.380 I certainly would use hemp toilet paper. 07:45.800 --> 07:47.760 At this point, there's no choice. 07:47.940 --> 07:49.140 I don't think we do have a choice. 07:49.260 --> 07:51.740 No, change or die at this point. 07:52.020 --> 07:53.540 What about grow the truth? Do you like that? 07:53.960 --> 07:55.880 I think that's how the truth comes. 07:58.960 --> 07:59.360 Slowly. 07:59.360 --> 08:00.520 I'm already smarter. 08:00.780 --> 08:02.040 Take it easy, dude. 08:02.380 --> 08:03.800 But take it. 08:04.120 --> 08:06.920 Somewhere out there, you're going to find yourself somewhere in there. 08:07.000 --> 08:08.600 And I don't know where that out there or in there is, 08:08.640 --> 08:11.420 but it's everywhere and always, and we're always in there and out there. 08:11.520 --> 08:12.660 So, let's go. 08:12.720 --> 08:13.680 Well, I'm on the tour. 08:13.960 --> 08:15.080 I just met Terrence McKenna. 08:15.160 --> 08:16.280 He's pretty mellow, you know. 08:16.360 --> 08:17.480 He has a lot to say. 08:17.680 --> 08:18.940 He's done a lot of research. 08:19.300 --> 08:21.020 We barely even picked his mind, 08:21.100 --> 08:22.880 but he's going to be with us the whole time. 08:22.880 --> 08:27.120 You better believe it because Terrence is always out there somewhere on the tour 08:27.120 --> 08:30.660 because this new millennium is going to be fun, you know. 08:30.740 --> 08:31.620 Everyone get ready. 08:31.800 --> 08:33.480 You're on the millennium tour. 08:33.620 --> 08:34.800 Yeah, all right.
