He seems like a gentle soul. I'm going to look for some more of his material. Maybe there's a reminder or pointing I've overlooked along the way.

I got there looking at his stuff on the singularity...

Terence McKenna was wrong about the date of 'The Singularity/Eschaton/End of Time', taking place in 2012. But he was so incredibly correct about the future, he saw it, he sensed it, he articulated it incredibly, here's a quote:

"It's only going to get weirder. The level of contradiction is going to rise excruciatingly, even beyond the excruciating present levels of contradiction. And finally it's going to be so weird that people are going to have to talk about how weird it is. And at that point novelty theory can come out of the woods, because eventually people are going to say, “What the hell is going on?” It's just too nuts, it's not enough to say it's nuts, you have to explain why it's so nuts. So, between now and 2012, the next 14 years, I look for: the invention of artificial life, the cloning of human beings, possible contact with extraterrestrials, possible human immortality, and at the same time, appalling acts of brutality, genocide, race baiting, homophobia, famine, starvation; because the systems which are in place to keep the world sane are utterly inadequate to the forces that have been unleashed"

I agree, His artistic nature is evident in his very expressive diagrams. What he has to say about transcendentalism reminds me much of Jiddu Krishnamurti: attainment of peace "without trying." It was an echo of the phrase from his movie, "Dune", in which interstellar flight was "traveling without moving." I couldn't help but notice the similarity.
