I was around Milano with my bicycle at 3.00 AM when the following occurred to me.
IF Terence McKenna was right, we are experiencing an increase of novelty (which is, the amount of stuff happening in my/your/our life), to culminate in 2012.
In my own experience, which might be different from yours, I am actually perceiving an increase in the amount of “stuff” going on within me. I never have a boring moment. I always feel busy even tho I’m not working at the moment.
So, if my own experience is agreeing with McKenna’s ideas (and with the idea of cycles in the Mayan calendar, and the idea of technological singularity in some way) I then assume it has some sort of truth.
This said, what does it mean that novelty is increasing?
It means that the amount of things happening in a second is increasing.
Time is not speeding up, we are.
As McKenna used to say, it is as if there is an attractor at the end of time (he called it, eschaton).
This attractor does not accelerate time itself, it rather does increase the frequency of the oscillation in our lives.
This can only mean we are approching everlasting life. And it is not going to be through a superhuman ability to live on through the ages. It is going to be through a breakthrough on the inside. Time is not an issue anymore.

Here is a Terence McKenna website
here, a timewave calculator (really cool)
