In Memorium: Terence
McKenna left his body on April 3, 2000. "Everything is a blessing and everything comes as a gift. And I don't regret anything about the situation I find myself in. If psychedelics don't ready you for the great beyond, then I don't know what really does. And we're all under sentence of 'moving up' at some point in our lives. I have
an absolute faith that the universe prefers joy and distills us with joy.
That is what religion is trying to download to us, and this is what every
moment of life is trying to do-if we can open to it. And we psychedelic
people, if we could secure that death has no sting, we would have done
the greatest service to suffering intelligence that can be done. And I feel that death is close, and I feel strong because of this (psychedelic) community and these people and plants that it rests on, and the ancient practices that it rests on, and I am full of hope, not only for my own small problems, but for humanity in general."
