Terence McKenna's Ex-Library Up In Smoke
    #6571971 -

Last Wednesday, February 7, a 5-alarm blaze erupted in an old building in downtown Monterey. The fire started in a Quizno’s sub shop, that exemplar of tasteful dining, and went on to thoroughly destroy a number of joints, including Goomba’s Italian Restaurant, a Starbucks, and some storage offices belonging to Big Sur’s Esalen Institute—ground zero for the human potential movement and now an upscale New Age resort. Esalen lost little of their own archives, the vast bulk of their books, photos, audio and videotapes residing elsewhere. Unfortunately, the institute was also using the offices to store the amazing library of Terence McKenna, the visionary psychedelic bard who passed away in 2000. The plan was to eventually install the books at Esalen, a place that Terence loved but which is hardly associated with scholarly pursuit. That plan will never be realized.

That's a shame...



I wonder what Terence would have to say about our current point on the wave.

That's terrible, the entire reservoir of McKenna's physical information reduced to dust.  Fuck.  I can't even imagine what the synthesis of all that knowledge would yield. 

Ashes to ashes, eh?

...Om...  :levitate:

What about his house at Hawaii? That's where he lived at the end of his life and I understand he had a large library there.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

I have a friend who lives/works at Esalen - it's beautiful there.  This is really sad news :frown:

Remember, remember the fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
