definitely geared toward women

Revisado: 11-07-24

I felt like I have stumbled upon a gathering of females with a leader cheering them up. Not at all a bad thing. Just kind of felt like I shouldn't have been there. I stayed and listened to the while book and I feel like I got something out of it. straight forward format with each chapter breaking down an aspect of the authors message. moved along quickly

had a good time as a part of the adventure crew. lots of interesting characters and creatures.

Revisado: 10-23-24

complex and inviting. well rounded and even though a bit predictable with regards to the main characters, the story line was definitely not predictable. Excited to start the next offering.

author really tells a grand story

Revisado: 09-19-24

if you have never listened to his YouTube or podcast then you will thoroughly enjoy his voice, tone, and inflection while he SHOWS you the immense undertaking he must go through to research and then write these stories.

He makes listening to essentially a lecture on historical peoples something that you wished was taught to you in high school and college. His insight taking the research he gains and then spinning that knowledge into a chronological story is very rare. you feel like you come away with the experience of living with these peoples or times.

75% history of philosophy 25% cats

Revisado: 07-30-24

as my title says it is true. granted I only listened to half the book before moving on so I could be wrong in my estimations. I guess I took the books title as it BEING about cats behavior with philosophy providing perhaps an explanation. nope. reader was entertaining and kept it moving right along.

great man great story

Revisado: 07-10-24

was interesting to hear of his antics at the beginning of his stardom. Dennis appears today as a gentle man with somewhat far flung ideas. who knew he used to get way higher than his brother, the author

revolutionary research respectfully written

Revisado: 07-01-24

I hope you saw what I was doing in my title. Terence McKenna passed way, way too young. He left us with 1000's of hours of reading and listening material of which this book is perhaps his most straight forward and direct representation of his vision for mankind going forward.

The argument at hand is simple. Humans have sampled materials found in nature since our earliest days in the trees watching other species of creatures partaking of something using their mouths. when we feel weak and hungry, the material we put in our mouth fixes this. and if they can eat it then we can too.

our thirst for knowledge and big brain capacity has enabled us to use some invented process to make these materials available for us to ingest. IF we are able to use SOME naturally occurring products, then we should be able to use them all. without so much as a tiny hesitation.

so why is it that we are not able to use the naturally occurring materials that would possibly be the most important materials ever discovered without the threat of judgment, persecution, and punishment? by fellow man.

at play in the fields of our earth mother where EVERYTHING that grows there is FOR OUR USE. not abuse

written like a textbook

Revisado: 06-23-24

or perhaps it isn't necessarily written like a textbook but instead the reader is a retired philosophy teacher. I would not have chosen a dry, soulless, British accented, rigid, and boring narrator for this type of material. I would have chosen someone who was CAPABLE of reading very dry, spell out the words by letter, relative, and cross referenced material (sometimes sexual and fun) with a little tone and inflexion. the performance reminds me of that elderly teacher in high school who just stood up in front of the class reading the material for the 1000th time with no real desire to teach.

twists, turns, and absolutely superb narration

Revisado: 05-17-23

the writing of this saga fed my imagination as it unfurled and became more complex with every chapter but it surely was the narration and the way the different characters were portrayed that truly took me there with them. I found myself laughing out loud at the impertinance and fortitude of some of the characters. I enjoyed it thoroughly. in the last 3 years I have completed over 400 books and I don't think I can remember a narrator who truly GOT what the author was creating in each character. there is no way I would have enjoyed the book as much by reading it myself. Rankins first in charge character was done so perfectly I loved it

what an epic story. many twists n turns

Revisado: 01-28-23

thank the gods no pop quiz following the completion because with so many deities represented it was challenging for me at times to keep them all put in their classification places as the book rumbled on.
story had depth for sure like a main root going down further than the eye can see and instead of a straight root is was zig zapping from one page to the next
