A thoroughly revised edition of the much-sought-after early work by Terence and Dennis McKenna that looks at shamanism, altered states of consciousness, and the organic unity of the King Wen sequence of the I Ching.
The Invisible Landscape is a modernized version of Jungian psychotherapy with an emphasis on brain-chemistry. Mckenna has amazing theories on the inner workings of subatomic particles within the DNA molecules in the human brain. According to Mckenna, the behavior of the atoms within our DNA actually determines the very nature of our conscious existence. Specifically, the patterns in which the electrons orbit the atomic nuclei in our DNA atoms form an Analog representation of what we are seeing; the electrons themselves move in such a manner as to create a type of morse-code which translates our sense perceptions into conscious being. This “analog theory of the brain” represents the crowning achievement of this book. The vibrations of the subtomic particles in our brain create reality in the same way in which digital and analog code create images on a computer screen.But all of this has yet to be proved. The Invisible Landscape is a masterpiece of speculative philosophy/psychology. A departure from conservative thinking. Mckenna also tries his hand at prophecy, his own unique doomsday loosely based on the hexagrams of the I-Ching called “timewave zero.” A graph that maps the cycles of cultural and social “novelty” mankind has experienced over history. Suffice it to say that this theory is still open to debate.
