LIVRO: CAOS, CRIATIVIDADE E O RETORNO DO SAGRADO: TRIÁLOGO NAS FRONTEIRAS DO OCIDENTE - Ralph Abraham, Terence Mckenna e Rupert Sheldrake. Editora Cultrix.
McKenna: A ciência e a política verde podem ser sacralizadas por meio da experiência psicodélica. A pessoa psicodélica sabe que o cientista que despreza pessoas curvadas em oração é um pobre tolo. Um partido verde que utilizasse uma linguagem mística, uma linguagem psicodélica, uma linguagem de integração com a natureza e com a emoção seria atraente ao extremo. É por isso que Rupert se mostra tão apaixonado pelos cultos da ayahuasca no Brasil, pois, em um novo nível, eles procuram preservar as florestas chuvosas e ajudar o povo dos duendes, mas, em outro nível, eles oferecem uma religião psicodélica que diz respeito à à imaginação, ao coração e à alma do mundo.

Summary
Terence McKenna was a psychedelic author, explorer, and showman. He was born in 1946 and grew up in Paonia, Colorado. In high school he moved to Los Altos, California and from there attended U.C. Berkeley for two years before setting off to travel. He travelled widely in Asia, South America, and Europe during his college years and his first book, co-authored with his brother Dennis McKenna, was based on their 1971 investigations of Amazonian hallucinogens.
In 1975, Terence graduated from Berkeley with a degree in ecology, resource conservation, and shamanism. Soon thereafter, he and Dennis pseudonymously published one of the earliest psilocybin mushroom growing guides under the names Oss and Oeric. Terence then spent some time doing large-scale farming of psilocybin mushrooms during the 1980s.
In 1985, Terence co-founded the non-profit Botanical Dimensions, with Kathleen Harrison-McKenna, to collect and propagate medicinal and shamanic plants from the tropics around the world. During the 90s, he wrote and lectured widely about shamanism, ethnopharmacology, and psychoactive plants and chemicals (especially psilocybin mushrooms and DMT). His sometimes fantasic theories, lectures, and writings led some to dismiss him as a kook, some to follow him as a visionary, and others to enjoy him as an intellectual entertainer.
He spent the last few years of his life living in Hawaii and died of brain cancer in 2000 at the age of 54.
