Speaking in Tongues

[Monologue (spoken): Terence McKenna]
What they meant was: "Use your voice to make an object"; and, as I understood, I felt a bubble kind of grow inside of me. And I watched these little elf tykes jumping in and out of my chest.

Or, words to that effect. And I wondered then what it all meant, and why it felt so good if it didn't mean anything. And I thought about it a few years, actually; and I decidеd, you know, that meaning and language are two diffеrent things. And what the alien voice in the psychedelic experience wants to reveal is the syntactical nature of reality; that the real secret of magic is that the world is made of words, and that if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish

And one of the things that I learned about DMT was that if you've never had it even just once, then you can have a dream, and in this dream somebody will pull out a little glass pipe, and then it will happen, it will happen just like the real thing, because there's a button somewhere inside each and every one of us that gives you a look into the other side, and that's the button that resets the compass that tells you where you want to sail. Good luck!
