“Opening the Doors of Creativity” – Terence McKenna 1990

A fresh talk emphasizing the challenge of artistic creation sponsored by the Carnegie Museum of Art, 1990.

“The break between abstract expressionism and what preceded it was the most radical break in American art in this century. Abstract expressionism actually carried us into a confrontation with what the quantum physicists were telling us, that the universe is field upon field of integrated vibration, that there is no top level, there is no bottom level, that the ordinary structures of provisional space-time are simply that; if we can rise out of the human dimension then we discover these larger, more integrated dimensions where mind and nature actually somehow interpenetrate each other.”
