Yes. He was a friend of mine and we hung out in Africa and Hawaii. I wrote a book about our travels. Journey to Everywhere is on Amazon here https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Everywhere-Schwann-Diaries-Book-ebook/dp/B00AMSDXAY

Podcast 366 – “Terence McKenna’s Suggested Reading List”
The top link is basically an index for his library. Mckenna did possess an older copy of Agrippa's Three books of Occult Philosophy and an original folio edition of Meric Casaubon's "A true and faithful relation of what passed for many years between Dr. John Dee and Some Spirits". I don't know if you have any interest in occult literature, especially some this old, but it's worth looking at just to delve into the mind of McKenna for a while.
Well if you haven't yet, start with Riding the Range with Marshall MacLuhan - that quote is probably in there somewhere.
He says it in a few different lectures, but the one I thought of when reading your post was from a Lecture on Alchemy [transcribed here, the quote (attributed stangely to one of TM's "friends") and some interesting stuff on electricity starts on parge 26] which is somewhere on the Psychedelic Salon podcast under a different name probably having to do with Alchemy and/or Hermeticism.
He probably talked about Tesla specifically somewhere, but I can't recall.
Hope this helps!
Download the True Hallucinations audiobook (read by McKenna himself) or the Tree of Knowledge series from here. Dump them into your phone and enjoy your commute.
You'll just have to reconfigure the MP3 files as audiobooks in iTunes so you can enjoy audiobook features.
I'm not sure what languages you know, but I also just found this... :)

Now I want to build a Timewave Zero app. It must live on! Haha!
It probably wouldn't actually be that hard... Hmmmm... Would anyone use such a thing? I wonder...
I found this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hiware.timewaive
But it looks a bit cumbersome, and outdated as well, and is apparently broken on newer versions of Android.
I remember listening to a few of Terence's lectures where he mentions 'memes' before the Internet was even remotely aware of them. I think the word in the proper context is okay to use, especially if you decry the current usage. If you are looking for verbosity, however, sometimes a thesaurus can help.
Sweet! It's not often I get a reality check from REDDIT! Especially considering I'm not often here. Nice one! I got a more detailed report on all of that in my gonzo biography here - https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Everywhere-Schwann-Diaries-Book-ebook/dp/B00AMSDXAY
My strategy is to comb through the bibliographies McKenna and other great thinkers provide to find their source material, you know, what made them think the way they do, what helped them form their concepts and ideas, what did they draw on for inspiration?
McKenna is particularly exhaustive in this regard, as is Alan Watts if you're keen on Eastern thought. I stumbled across this a while back, it's a catalog of the books contained in Terence's library which burned down in the early seventies. Have a scroll through, find one you fancy, and use a book streaming service like scribd/buy it on book depository/get the pdf online.

I thought Pinchbeck was going for it. The original psychedelic spokesperson Tim Leary, rebellious, heroic, disruptive, effective, controversial. The torch passed on to TMK scholarly, weird, magical and fascinating, yet more intimate than leary. And Pinchbeck, the everyday psychedelic head, not that special apart from his psychedlic useand connection to modern culture. http://www.librarything.com/profile/TerenceKempMcKenna
You might appreciate this:
John Dee and the Empire of Angels: Enochian Magick and the Occult Roots of the Modern World
I'd recommend the book. Terence's and Rupert's talks on the subject only scratch the surface, but the book is a deeper exploration of the implications. He still doesn't open the conversation up to every one of the things it might mean -- how about extraterrestrials with consciousness? What about technologies that could be used to amplify or receive this kind of resonance? -- but it's a great start.
There is a book written by Terence and Dennis Mckenna that have some stuff about the I Ching The Invisible Landscape: Mind, Hallucinogens, and the I Ching
I cant think of any other books at this moment but I would suggest watching some of Terence youtube videos on Invisible landcape/i ching/time wave zero because he often recommends books to the audience that he found informative about the i ching.
