DMT and Ancient History



Of all the apocalyptic theories due to submerge by the end of the year, the theory of the prophetic I-Ching is my personal favorite. The I-Ching is one of China's old
est texts, translating to "the book of changes." Three coins were tossed in the air six times and the results recorded in a series of lines (as seen above). Each of the possible combinations of lines had a corresponding prophecy that almost always related to the question asked prior to the coin toss.

Just recently in the 90's a man by the name of Terence McKenna began to study the I-Ching and made astonishing discoveries within the results. McKenna made a pattern and equation out of the possible results of the coin toss. He turned his equation into a graph that portrayed a trend against time. This graph supposedly corresponded to some of the largest high and low points in world history (relating to the high and low points on the graph). The graph was said to have predicted and corresponded to such events as both world wars, the Black Death and even the fall of the Roman Empire.

Now of course this all has to result in a 2012 apocalypse. Of course it turns out that the pattern and graph cut off entirely on the exact date of December 21st, 2012--the same as that which the Mayan calendar is said to end. However, it is said that McKenna had no prior knowledge of a 2012 doomsday date and did not find out about the Mayan calendar for years after Timewave Zero was created.

This isn't all though. Terence McKenna "was primarily an expert on psychedelic substances," [1] and studied the effects of drugs as well as their use in cultural and religious sacraments. He particularly enjoys studying drugs and their link to and extraterrestrial world or communication. He writes often about his experiences with an Amazonian brew called "Yage" that was used to communicate with extraterrestrials. And more so than anything else he was "a heroic taker of and expert on that explosive beyond-LSD drug called DMT or dimethyltryptamine." [1] What this means, is that an avid drug taker and believer of telepathic communication with extraterrestrials has created one of the most believed notions behind a 2012 apocalypse. That's a little scary.

  1. I read somewhere that McKenna made such accurate predictions because he was predicting events that had already happened on a timeline of his own invention, using a methodology of his own invention. That, and he couldn't really predict what the apocalypse meant until he latched on to the 2012 thing, right? To quote the article "Maybe the next Batman movie comes out in 2012 and is a huge disappointment, and the I-Ching just takes it way harder than everyone else."

    Anyway, interesting post about a truly crazy dude.
