| In [[:plan_plant_planet|Plan/Plant/Planet]], [[:terence_mckenna]] popularised the idea that we can reconnect to the Gaian, planetary Other by embracing a plant-based model of human culture, facilitated in particular by psychoactive [[:mushroom|mushrooms]] and the ubiquitous spread of [[:mycelium_running|mycelium]]. Peculiar efforts at fungal communication have also been attempted in certain [[radio_mycelium|mycelial radio]] workshops conducted amidst the chaos of the FoAM studio. The thought processes accompanying the convergence with the mycelial mind through photonic exchange instruments is documented in [[Approaching the Inexplicable]]. | In [[:plan_plant_planet|Plan/Plant/Planet]], [[:Terence Mckenna]] popularised the idea that we can reconnect to the Gaian, planetary Other by embracing a plant-based model of human culture, facilitated in particular by psychoactive [[:mushroom|mushrooms]] and the ubiquitous spread of [[:mycelium_running|mycelium]].

| "Reestablishing channels of direct communication with the planetary Other, the mind behind nature, through the use of hallucinogenic plants is the best hope for dissolving the steep walls of cultural inflexibility that appear to be channeling us toward true ruin. We need a new set of lenses to see our way into the world. When the medieval world shifted its worldview, secularized European society sought salvation in the revivifying of classical Greek and Roman approaches to law, philosophy, aesthetics, city planning, and agriculture. Our dilemma will cast us further back into time in search for models and answers." -- Terence McKenna | "Reestablishing channels of direct communication with the planetary Other, the mind behind nature, through the use of hallucinogenic plants is the best hope for dissolving the steep walls of cultural inflexibility that appear to be channeling us toward true ruin.
