Well I just started reading Daniel Pinchbeck's new book 2012
and I have to say that so far I am very impressed. Pinchbeck may indeed be Terence Mckenna's successor as the literary voice of the psychedelic community. Drawing from topics as varied as mayan and toltec myth, crop circles, alien abductions, amazonian shamanism and transpersonal psychology Mr. Pinchbeck has created in his words a though provoking "thought experiment" that resonated deeply with some of my deepest intuitions about the striking transformations that are taking place on this planet. If you would like to read an excerpt of the first two chapters you can find them at disinfo.com:
Chapter One
Chapter two
If you are interested in hearing Daniel talk about some of the themes found in 2012
you can tune into a podcast of a talk he gave at last years burningman festival entitled "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dimensional Shift." This is just one of many interesting Podcasts From The Psychedelic Salon which include recordings of Terence Mckenna, Shasha and Ann Shulgin, Alex Grey and others of interest. Check them out!

i really really dont like daniel pinchbeck. i liked terrence and still listen to some of his speeches but daniel rubs me the wrong way completely.
i recall downloading podcasts of him, listening and thinking "this dude is full of shit, why dont people see it?"
thats my opinion at least
yes. he rips of other cultures because he is a spoiled white kid with no culture of his own. he uses drugs to attain some type of meaning and spirituality in his life and he strings it together with a bunch of intellectual crap. everything he writes about has been all over the internet for years, but he pretends as if hes the only one saying it. get a clue buddy. hes the leader of a cult.
