More From Terence McKenna

So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. if you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? remain unconscious.

The collective unconscious appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. in fact the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious. we can see this most clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, whose originally chaotic forms are organized through the projection of images. this explains the influence of the stars as asserted by astrologers. these influences are nothing but unconscious instrospective perceptions of the collective unconscious.

Kids Men Practice
I feel that when a white child goes to school only with white children, unconsciously that child grows up in many instances devoid of a world perspective. there is an unconscious provincialism, and it can develop into an unconscious superiority complex just as a negro develops an unconscious inferiority complex.
