He was surrounded by those he loved, although he didn't leave this plane until everyone had fallen asleep. Christie was by his side. In Dec. 1999 at Esalen Terence said: "Everything is a blessing and everything comes as a gift. And I don't regret anything about the situation I find myself in. If psychedelics don't ready you for the great beyond, then I don't know what really does. And we're all under sentence of 'moving up' at some point in our lives. I have an absolute faith that the universe prefers joy and distills us with joy. That is what religion is trying to download to us, and this is what every moment of life is trying to do-if we can open to it. And we psychedelic people, if we could secure that death has no sting, we would have done the greatest service to suffering intelligence that can be done. And I feel that death is close, and I feel strong because of this (psychedelic) community and these people and plants that it rests on, and the ancient practices that it rests on, and I am full of hope, not only for my own small problems, but for humanity in general." - ------------------ , a member service of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (to become a member, see www.maps.org/memsub.html).
