The Evolutionary Mind: Conversations on Science, Imagination and Spirit (2005)
with Ralph H. Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake
Stimulating and often startling discussions between three
friends, all highly original thinkers: Rupert Sheldrake, controversial
biologist, Terence McKenna , psychedelic visionary, and Ralph Abraham ,
chaos mathematician. Their passion is to break out of paradigms that
retard our evolution and to explore new possibilities. Through challenge
and synergy they venture where few have gone before, leading their readers
on an exciting journey of discovery. Their discussions focus on the
evolution of the mind, the role of psychedelics, skepticism, the psychic
powers of animals, the structure of time, the life of the heavens, the
nature of God, and transformations of consciousness.

in the Devil’s Paradise (1993)
This mesmerizing, surreal account of the bizarre adventures
of Terence McKenna, his brother Dennis, and a small band of their friends,
is a wild ride of exotic experience and scientific inquiry. Exploring the
Amazon Basin in search of mythical shamanic hallucinogens, they encounter a
host of unusual characters -- including a mushroom, a flying saucer, pirate
Mantids from outer space, an appearance by James and Nora Joyce in the guise
of poultry, and translinguistic matter -- and discover the missing link in
the development of human consciousness and language.
The Archaic Revival: Speculations on Psychedelic Mushrooms, the Amazon, Virtual Reality, UFOs,
Evolution, Shamanism, the Rebirth of the Goddess, and the End of History (1992)
Cited by the L.A. Weekly as "the culture's foremost spokesman
for the psychedelic experience," Terrence McKenna is an underground legend
as a brilliant raconteur, adventurer, and expert on the experiential use of
mind-altering plants.
In these essays, interviews, and narrative adventures, McKenna takes us on a
mesmerizing journey deep into the Amazon as well as into the hidden recesses
of the human psyche and the outer limits of our culture, giving us startling
visions of the past and future.
Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge - A Radical
History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution
(1992)
Synesthesia (1992) with Timothy C. Ely
Trialogues at the Edge of the West: Chaos, Creativity, and the
Resacralization of the World (1992) with Jean Houston, Ralph H. Abraham,
and Rupert Sheldrake
Revised in 2001 as
Chaos, Creativity, and Cosmic Consciousness
In this book of "trialogues," the late psychedelic visionary
and shamanologist Terence McKenna, acclaimed biologist and originator of the
morphogenetic fields theory Rupert Sheldrake, and mathematician and chaos
theory scientist Ralph Abraham explore the relationships between chaos and
creativity and their connection to cosmic consciousness. Their observations
call into question our current views of reality, morality, and the nature of
life in the universe. The authors challenge the reader to the deepest levels
of thought with wide-ranging investigations of the ecology of inner and
outer space, the role of chaos in the dynamics of human creation, and the
resacralization of the world. Among the provocative questions the authors
raise are: Is Armageddon a self-fulfilling prophecy? Are we humans the
imaginers or the imagined? Are the eternal laws of nature still evolving?
What is the connection between physical light and the light of
consciousness?

Visionary plants have long served indigenous peoples and
their shamans as enhancers of perception, thinking, and healing. These
plants can also be important guides to the reality of the natural world
and how we can live harmoniously in it.
In Visionary Plant Consciousness, editor J. P. Harpignies has
gathered presentations from the Bioneers annual conference of
environmental and social visionaries that explore how plant
consciousness affects the human condition. Twenty-three leading
ethnobotanists, anthropologists, medical researchers, and cultural and
religious figures present their understandings of the nature of
psychoactive plants and their significant connection to humans. What
they reveal is that these plants may help us access the profound
intelligence in nature--the “mind of nature”--that we must learn to
understand in order to survive our ecologically destructive way of life.

Hallucinogens: A Reader (2002) by
Charles Grob
It's been forty years since Timothy Leary sat beside a
swimming pool in Cuernavaca, Mexico, ingested several grams of the genus
Stropharia cubensis, and experienced a dazzling display of visions that led
him to herald the dawning of a New Age. And yet, from the counterculture
movement of the 1960s, through the War on Drugs, to this very day, the world
at large has viewed hallucinogens not as a gift but as a threat to society.
In Hallucinogens, Charles Grob
surveys recent writings from Donald M.
Topping,
Gary Fisher,
Glenn H. Shepard,
Huston Smith,
Jeremy Narby,
Lawrence Bush,
Myron J. Stolaroff,
Ralph Metzner,
Rick J. Strassman,
Roger Walsh,
Terence McKenna, and Thomas
Riedlinger -- illustrating that a reevaluation of the social worth of
hallucinogens-used intelligently-is greatly in order.
