I dont understand this quote
    #5777156 - 06/21/06 04:49 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I have an mp3 from Erowid I believe, it is a series of quotes from Mckenna, Leary and a few other people whom I am unfamiliar with.

I will upload it someday in the Music forum to share.

Anyways........

The song starts out with......

"What we drug people have that you don't, is repeat ability."

wtf does that mean. I know what repeat means, and ability but I cannot pinpoint any sense to this statement.

Can anyone enlighten me?

There is no sense, it came from a druggie.  Druggies are senseless, but fancy themselves otherwise. 

To truly "understand" it, you'll have to take 10 hits of acid and let the genius of it smother you with lovely rainbows as the profoundness of it smashes your face to bits :flowerchild:

Here is an interview from Art Bell and Terence Mckenna talks about repeatability.

I still dont get it.

What does repeatability have to do with drug use?

Still very confused about repeatability.

Thats what I thought too, but Mckenna is a very bright man and there is probably something more to it rather than "i can keep repeating drug use."

That sounds like bullshit hippie trash that's grasping at something profound.

Tell 'em to go fuck themselves and live it better.

I love this smiley! -->:levitate:

I've never seen it before. Cool! :cool:

PS: I'm not sure what repeatability means in that context. Maybe it's purposely abstract and ambiguous, but on the other hand, I'm sure he would have a very definite meaning in mind...

"What we drug people have that you don't, is repeat ability."


Normal people only have a very few truly transcendent experiences. We psychedelics users however can choose to immerse ourselves in these realms.

For instance, for me communication with disembodied entities (on Salvia) is 15 minutes away if I want it, for others it may take a lifetime or more.

That's repeatability: we can choose and plan to enter these states while for sobers its almost random.

Exactly what I was gonna say.

McKenna also said something to effect that you don't have to sweep around the ashram for 30 years in order to "earn" the right to see non-ordinary realms.  All you have to do is ingest a substance and you have the expereince.  There is no servitude.  And you can repeat psychedelic experiences, rather than getting nothing in 30 years and then one day suddenly it happens.

Not sure if that helped, but whatever.  :grin:

Also a good explanation.  You two helped clear this up for me.  Mckenna really knows his stuff.  Thanks again. :thumbup:

Take your pick, then.  :stoned:  I have repeat ability to get drunk.  Or tripping.  Or stoned.  That doesn't make me special.  Maybe this conversation should get moved to the fruitcake "mystical" forum.  :shrug:.
