A World Beyond Ours
Most people think it's far out if we get virtual reality up and running. This is much more profound than that. This is the real thing. We're going to find out what "being" is. It's a philosophical journey and the vehicles are not simply cultural but biology itself. We're closing distance with the most profound even that planetary ecology can encounter, which is the freeing of life form the chrysalis of matter. And it's never happened before-I mean the dinosaurs didn't do this, nor did the prokaryotes emerging. No. This takes a billion years of forward moving evolution to get to the place where information can detach itself from the material matrix and then look back on a cast-off mode of being as it rises into a higher dimension. -Terence Mckenna
