A mathematical construct that you can, you know, I mean, people have put the time wave into software and you can run all sorts of programs and so on. But at the end of the day, it's Terence's view of history that's being mapped, you know.

Terrence was a complex person. Yeah. Very complex person. I think a few things drove him. I think that... First, it was just curiosity. I mean, there was no motivation, really, except an interest in understanding. And he was having these revelations, and they seemed valid, and he was taking psychedelics. And he was just a curious person, and that's a very good quality in a scientist.

Or anyone else. I mean, I don't think he would call himself a scientist because he dismissed science. He said science is never going to answer this. But I think eventually he reached a point where It became a shtick. You know, he built a career on this. And talking about the time wave and talking about psychedelics and being such an excellent speaker.

You know, I used to tell him, you could stand up there and read the phone book and people would be hanging on every word. Yeah. Because it's not what you say, it's how you say it. And I used to tell him, he hated for me to go to his seminars and so on, because I was the only one that would ever stand up and say anything.

Everybody else is just slack-jawed, and I would sometimes get up and say, well... What you said 20 minutes ago didn't make sense, you know, and what you say now doesn't make sense.

His best talks, in my opinion, were when they drew from his vast knowledge of history and esotericism and alchemy and Jungian psychology and all that. And some of those talks are just...
