Poem: That Was Me 

Picture
1990: Terence McKenna

Video: A Message to Artists from Terence McKenna

"Art's Task is to save the Soul of Mankind. And anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because The Artist, those who are self-selected for being able to journey into The Other, if The Artist cannot find The Way, then the way cannot be found. Ideology is extremely alien to Art. Political Ideology I mean. And if you notice, it is Political ideology that has been calling the shots for the last 7 or 800 years. We can transcend politics if we put some other program into place. You cannot transcend politics into a void. I believe that a world without Ideology could be created, if what were replaced by Ideology is the notion of The Good, The True, and The Beautiful. You know, the three tiered cannon of the Platonic Aesthetic. Reconnect the connection of The Good, The True, and The Beautiful, then use psychedelics to empower The Artist to go into this vast dimension that surrounds human history on all sides and return from that world with the Transcendental Images that can lift us to a new cultural level. The Muse is there."
- Terence Mckenna (1990)
