A thoughtful presentation by Terence McKenna below. The title of his presentation is Our True Reality is in Our Minds. I couldn't agree more.
He states that, in his opinion, consciousness is naturally evolving - a point I made above. It is also interesting to me that DMT naturally occurs in the human organism, and is said to be manufactured in the Pineal gland and / or the Lungs. I suspect both because all meditative practises I am aware of concentrate of breathing techniques as a means of reaching a state where the imagination can be properly activated so as to enter into other states of reality. That the Pineal gland is used for imagination is considered by many to be the case.
Thus the two possible repositories of naturally occurring human DMT are central to meditative practices aimed at broadening consciousness and connectedness.
I guess we as a species had better get to that stage of consciousness pdq though, because we're truly fucking up this planet with dangerous Shadow projections and self-destructive ideologies. It's best not destroy the laboratory - which is this planet and its life - before the human experiment is completed.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
