Description
containing a plot as if from SF movies or adventure novels. McKenna's work is a fascinating tale of extraordinary adventures in Asia, the Amazon and America, a story of the relationship of imaginative travelers with "sacred plants" and psilocybin mushrooms.
McKenna invites us on a journey through exotic corners of the world, which becomes a journey into the depths of the human mind and the mysteries of existence.
Real hallucinations cannot be subjected to a simple classification. It is impossible to distinguish truth from illusion in them. If one were to accept the philosophical conclusions of this story, one would have to completely revise popular notions about the world around us. In this work McKenna constructs a 'wave-time theory', according to which, under the influence of rapidly densifying innovations, modern humanity is about to enter a new era, governed by new laws. Will it be just the end of the world as we know it, or something much more radical? - This question is not answered by the author of this book. Instead, he encourages open-mindedness and greater trust in imagination.
