Joe Rogan: Santa was a Mushroom (video)

AOK; Joe Rogan Experience; Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly Wiki edit


Santa Claus was a Mushroom!

Joe Rogan talks about Christian English archeologist and Dead Sea Scrolls scholar John Marco Allegro and his amazing research. It rocked the Catholic Church because it proved that the Amanita muscaria "fly agaric" mushroom was what Jesus Christ symbolized -- showing the connection to Nordic Siberian Pagan (Swedish Sami) Santa Claus and the many clues to his origin as a symbol of this very special reindeer mushroom. No one would believe it, particularly out of the mouth of whacky Joe Rogan, but the scholarly evidence is all there laid out in Allegro's book, once banned by the Church, now available because the truth will not remain concealed.

The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross: A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity Within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East is a book by John M. Allegro (1923-1988) about the linguistics of early Christianity and fertility cults in the ancient Near East (Flint & VanderKam, 2005).

The book follows the development of language and religions, myths, and cult practices in world cultures. Allegro argues, using etymology, that the roots of Christianity and many other religions, are in fertility cults.

Cool, man, I'm a Western cultural icon.

Furthermore, cult practices, such as consuming visionary plants (entheogens, "mind-making" psychedelics) to perceive the "mind of God," persisted into the early Christian era.

This continued into the 13th century with reoccurrences in the 18th century and mid-20th century, as Allegro interprets the fresco at Plaincourault Chapel: It is an accurate depiction of the ritual ingestion of Amanita muscaria magic mushroom as the Eucharist.

Allegro argues that Jesus never existed as a historical figure but was a mythological creation of early Christians under the influence of psychoactive mushroom extracts such as psilocybin (Ibid.) More

DMT: The Spirit Molecule (complete film)

Enigmas of the Universe; Audible484; Ananda, Dhr. Seven, Pat Macpherson, Wisdom Quarterly


DMT: The Spirit Molecule (2010)

The Spirit Molecule investigates DMT (dimethyltryptamine), an endogenous psychoactive entheogen. It exists in humans and numerous species of plants and animals because it is based on the amino acid tryptophan.

The documentary traces Dr. Rick Strassman's government-sanctioned, human DMT research and its many trials, tribulations, and inconceivable realizations.

American Indian shamans know the way.

A closer examination of DMT's effects through the lens of two traditionally opposed concepts, science and spirituality, The Spirit Molecule explores the connections between cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum physics, and human spirituality.

Dr. Strassman's research and the experiences of the human test subjects before, during, and after the intense clinical trials raise many intriguing questions.

A variety of experts voice their unique thoughts and experiences with DMT within their respective fields. As Dr. Strassman's story unfolds, the contributors weigh in on his remarkable theories, including the synthesis of DMT in our brain's pineal gland and its link to near-death experiences.

DMT: The History and Truth of '"The Spirit Molecule"

(Audible484, Aug. 31, 2017) DMT, also known as "The Spirit Molecule," is a very interesting and complex psychedelic agent. From seeing gods (devas) to gnomes and aliens, a DMT trip can be the greatest and most profound experience in a person's life. I've done many psychedelics in my life, but for whatever reason I always waited for DMT. I felt like I didn't really deserve it yet, and I knew it was something I wanted to wait for the right time to do. I tried for the first time last month and wow. Not only was it a great glimpse into what DMT really is, it was also a huge eye opener. I really didn't know what I was talking about. I presented theories as facts, and I needed to fix it. So that's what this video is. I hope you all enjoy it while also maybe learning a thing or two. See sources below.

The Ken Commandments:

My Search for God in Hollywood

An E! News star mixes memoir and investigative journalism in his own version of A.J. Jacobs' excellent and Wisdom Quarterly recommended The Year of Living Biblically. 

It chronicles his own [Jewish] spiritual journey as he investigates the religious lives of the rich and famous in Hollywood. 

Ken Baker, the L.A.-based senior correspondent for E! News and E! Online, has worked in Hollywood for 20 years, hobnobbing with multi-millionaires and interviewing movie and TV stars on a regular basis. 

Native American ghost dance

In that time, in the land of fairy tales and double-dealing, Baker had in many ways become one the materialistic and carnal people he never wanted to be, abandoning his Christian heritage and losing his spiritual center in the process. 

Finding himself alone and confused one night in Las Vegas, he has a spiritual awakening that puts him on a journey to find God [or more likely GOD/Brahman rather than Brahma/God], not only in himself, but in the celebrities who lives intersect with his on a daily basis. 

In this book, Hollywood meets the spirit of A.J. Jacobs, as author Ken Baker sets off on an experiment that will bring him closer to the spiritual lives of the rich and famous and in the process help to reveal the light and dark of Hollywood in new ways.
 

Meditate: Go on retreat

From New Age spirituality, to Bible-based Christianity, to Buddhist retreats, to meditation classes, to atheism studies, to the mega-church of the nation's top TV preacher, Baker will immerse himself in a diverse range of spiritual practices side by side with the celebrity set, revealing a world that is deeper and more GOD-centered than you'd ever imagine.

2: The Science of Spirituality (NPR)

PLAY interactive display

In this week's second installment of the NPR series on science and spirituality, religion correspondent Barbara Bradley Hagerty examines Navajo Indians (a tribe of First Nation or Indigenous Americans) and their sacramental use of Peyote for healing.

• The God Chemical: Brain chemistry and Mysticism
• What turns people into spiritual virtuosos?

All Things Considered, May 18, 2009 · For much of the 20th century, mainstream science shied away from studying spirituality.

Sigmund Freud declared God to be a delusion, and others maintained that God, if there is such a thing, is beyond the tools of science to measure.

But now, some researchers are using new technologies to try to understand spiritual experience. They're peering into our brains and studying our bodies to look for circumstantial evidence of a spiritual world. The search is in its infancy, and scientists doubt they will ever be able to prove — or disprove — the existence of God.

I spent a year exploring the emerging science of spirituality for my book, Fingerprints of God. One of the questions raised by my reporting: Is an encounter with God merely a chemical reaction?

Peyote Healing
The search for that answer led me to my first peyote ceremony, on a mountaintop on the Navajo reservation at Lukachukai, Ariz.

While Fred Harvey, an 87-year-old roadman, or high priest, warmed up his voice, members of his family prepared the peyote, a cactus that induces visions when ingested. Using peyote to touch the spiritual world has been central to the Navajo religion for hundreds of years.

Andy Harvey, a ceremony participant, said peyote serves as a mediator between the human world and the divine.

"Sometimes we ask the peyote to help us cleanse the illnesses away and cleanse our mental being, our spiritual being," he said. "And we believe that's what peyote does, too. That's why we call it a sacrament, a sacred herb."

At 9 p.m., 32 of us crawled into the teepee; for the next 11 hours, the young men drummed, the roadman prayed, and everyone but me ingested a lot of peyote. Sometime around midnight, the subject of the ceremony — a Navajo woman named Mary Ann — spoke up.

"I want to confess to the fire," she said.

She said she had suffered from shingles for the past two months, and she needed the peyote to heal her. She said she believed she had harmed a man some 20 years earlier, and his spirit had been plaguing her ever since.

"I need him to forgive me," she cried. "I know I'm in pain because he hasn't forgiven me."

Two more hours had passed when Mary Ann suddenly cried, "The shingles are gone! The peyote has healed me!" More>>
