hi,

I recently read this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Mushrooms-Religion-Alchemy-Heinrich/dp/0892819979

It makes lots of interesting relations with shrooms, mainly amanita muscaria, and history of religions.

Some very plausible theories, some more "esoteric" and a bit out of range, but if you read it with a little circonspection, it is a nice point of view.

Off-topic personalisms such as Debate with mushroom trip =  :cruelworld:


You could tell her the earth revolves around the sun, but this would somehow be turned against you in a incoherent matter that eventually derives so far from the topic that it turns into a continuous shit loop of random questions that she answers your questions with.

I admire your energy and patience. are not allowed in P&S.

Enthogens bring god inside me, that's all I know.  The only religious experience I have had is tripping, plain and simple.

If you have taken an entheogen, then you should know what it means when it is said:

Take and eat the body of Christ (Entheogen) and you will awaken the kingdom of god within yourself.  Its pretty fucking simple.

God didn't miraculously impregnate some bitch and bring Christianity to the heathens.  Its all a metaphor for the miracle of life going on around us at all times.

Nature, god, the universe gives rise to all of creation, and whenever you eat any part of it, you bring god closer to yourself.  God is just the defining essence of nature.  The energy flowing through all organisms that passes from one to the other upon eating.  And when you eat any creation of god, you bring it closer to yourself.  I just ate a watermelon, and it was so fucking full of life.  I could feel the power of creation within it and the life that it has given me, and the circle continues.  But it was ever more true for mushrooms, for they brought this circle a whole lot closer.

Mushrooms would have been very mysterious to ancient man because he would have no idea what a mycelium was.  The idea that god impregnated the earth to give rise to these "magical" mushrooms would have made sense.  And when eating said mushrooms brought insights about the world your damned right people wrote books about them.  They are manna, they are Christ in its self. 

I am tripping right now so this post is disjointed as fuck, but if you haven't come upon this yourself then you obviously have missed something.

You have the blinded religious idiots who are reading a book and worshiping a god they have never felt or known.  Taking stories that should be metaphor and touting them as fact, they are completely missing the point of the stories.

Then you have the people that see it as stories, and think that because it is fiction it is all bs.

Then you have the very few people who can see what it really means.  Its all a metaphor about life, and the constant miracle of creation going on around us.

Now you can spend your time mocking other people's beliefs, but your just missing out on life.  I know that god is just nature.  The complex flow of energy through different living systems.

I'm so high this post is hard to write, but I feel that anyone who has truely experienced and entheogen should know what I am talking about.  They reveal to you god at work in nature, and of course that is what religion is about.  Creation is Creation is nature is everything.  And you can take yourself as a part of that and bask in the glory that the universe brings, or make fun of other people's beliefs because you are too cynical to embrace the world and love all of creation.

Anyone who has seriously given it the thought with an open mind will realize that the religious experience, the mystical experience, is tripping!

And if you can take these substances, and not see the miracle of creation going on all around you, and become closer to god and all nature as being a part of that, then there is nothing anyone can do to make you see it.

Entheogens are the religious experience, and if you have missed that, then EAT MORE MUSHROOMS!





Nicely put, especially for being high!:thumbup:

I didn't realize that I was required to make it readily apparent that I was "proposing the idea in the context of playing with our imaginations and imagining the infinity of possibilities of what mystery could exist around a passed-down legend," as you so elequoently put it.

I kinda thought we could just, you know, actually discuss the topic and see where it went. :yesnod:

Anyways, its clear that there was a fundamental understanding from the beginning and that it isn't the fault of simply one person, and I definitely don't think it was only one person who created an atmosphere of attitude, so its probably just best to move forward, realizing that there was simply a 'bout of the limitations of communication. :grin:




I am capable of moving forward.  We shall see if the "atmosphere of attitute" lingers.

What makes you so sure about all this?

Can you be absolutely certain that when you trip, you are in any contact with God?

When you take certain chemicals, they alter the way tou think.

It is incredibly presumtuous to assume that psychedelics are tools with which to commune with God.




The book Astrotheology and Shamanism , along with the corresponding movie, the Pharmacratic Inquisition represents around 10+ years of research on this topic by these two guys, which builds upon a lifetime of a former world leading scholar on early Christian/Jewish religions.

The only agnostic of a team of catholic priests who studied the dead sea scrolls came up with the idea that Jesus was a symbol for the mushroom, along with a mish-mash of other deities.  The other priests refused to release their translations, and obviously this guy was destroyed by the Catholic Church after he released this.  John Marco Allegro was his name I think.

Ok, first off you think of god differently than I do.  God for me is part of conciousness, and thus we are gods.  Even if psychedelics only bring me closer to myself, then it it closer to one god of many.  As for an omnipotent god, I believe that when I trip I resonate with the universe more, I have the feelings of connection with everything.  I feel a divine presence and if that is just my brain, so be it, it is a god in it's self, but I feel there is more.

Scientific exploration can only go so far, at one point we must rely on our senses.  Our bodies can be tricked, but we also have developed amazing sensory perception and an ability to translate this into a physical world around us.  The revelations I have had about life while tripping have always held great significance when I am sober again.  They give me new insights into myself and the world around me, on top of inspiration and motivation to work through school.  It comes to a point where I have religious experiences while tripping, and they are so powerful for me, so amazing and wonderful, that I don't care what they are really representative of, they are my gods.

These plants are a part of nature, and they bring me insights into nature and the subtle energy flows going on around me.  And this makes me feel closer to nature, which is another embodiment of my "god".

Any psychedelic using culture has regarded psychedelics as deities, and I think this is important in this argument.  So when discussing if Jesus, a representation of a god, is really a mushroom that was worshiped as god, this trend is important.

Look at this photo of jesus

Here before him are four plants, which are to represent syrian rue, amanita muscaria, psilocybe, and opium poppy, all made to look like Jesus, or Jesus like them.

So from this early representation of Jesus, at least this artist seemed to think there was a connection between Jesus and drugs.  That is just the beginning.


--------------------
"A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.

Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security."

What do you think the reason was behind the priests being so secretive about about their own translations?

I have heard believers mention the Dead Sea Scrolls as being proof of the integrity of so many biblical translations, even after thousands of years passing and translatiions being made into several languages.

Perhaps the catholic priests attacked the agnostic's idea, because there was no proof of its validity, yet he offered the idea as a theory to be discussed.

So, you don't necessarily believe in a divine creator, but you like to throw the word god around, in order to imply that your psychedelic trips are more special than merely chemicals affecting the function of your brain?

About that Jesus pic, I don't think those are four plants at all.  They look like four forms of fungi to me.  I can see the Psilocybe on the left and the Amanita muscaria on the right.  Why would you think that the blue and orange shrooms were Syrian Rue and Papaver somniferum?

Hey some things are meant to continue the cycle of life in other ways, like kill you so the forest floor can benefit from your decomposing body.  Not all of nature is nice, and you need to find what works for you.  I was specifically talking about psychedelics giving me insights, so bringing up poisonous mushrooms is kinda pointless.

I don't give a shit if you think its all BS.  I can have great experiences that benefit my life and bring me closer to myself and nature.  If you don't get that from your trips that's too bad, but don't bash what I experience because you don't have them.

And yes, I said god to me isn't a divine creator.  I feel all of nature is encompassing of god, and that we are all gods in our selves as I said before.  We have the power of creation in our minds, for the choices we make alter the course of our reality, and can give rise to an infinite number of parallel universes according to the decisions we could make.

As for the four mushrooms that's what I have heard from people studying it.  Look up the pharmacratic inquisition, its is a good movie on this subject.

Well, I don't suppose you'll get your feelings hurt then if I tell you I do think it is BS.  I have great experiences on psychedelics, and I don't feel the need to pretend to be a god to be able to appreciate my place in nature, because I accept the fact that I am an animal.

I am not bashing your trips because I haven't experienced the same things you believe you have experienced.  I am just calling you out on your scientifically unsupported statements of being something more than human, and/or making contact with something higher than your human conciousness, under the influence of chemicals.

Well, someone told you wrong, because mushrooms aren't plants, and flowers like Syrian Rue and Papaver somniferum don't resemble mushrooms.

I keep asking where exactly are the personalisms that I make, and nobody can give me a coherent answer.
The fact that I laugh about what people post, or comment my opinion about what they say, even if I say I think it's dumb, doesn't constitute as a personalism, since I'm not calling the posters dumb or stupid.

Hahahah! You're a genius, so that is your trick. You simply substitute "you" for "your idea". Thanks for sharing your secret.

You know what MushroomTrip? The truth is that I think your ideas are the most retarded ideas on the surface of this planet. I also think your ideas smell like poop and look as if they came out of the ass of a baboon. Your ideas are like a finger in the throat, each time I read them, it makes me puke. Nothing personal tho.

I'm not pretending to be a god, with some omnipotence.  All I am saying is it brought to light the fact that we are all gods.  We all control our own reality through our thoughts and actions, and all hold the power of creation via this.  Although it is not the same creation people think of, we have the ability to create thoughts, which are a creation.

I didn't say I was more than human, I said that humans are gods through their conciousness.  I never said I communicated with any god, but that I felt the presence of a deity.

As for nature, there's no way I could have the same connection with out tripping.  Walking through a forest, and feeling the deep connection to the earth and all other living things around me is something I never experienced until tripping.

And for the picture, I meant to say there are two mushrooms and two plants (syrian rue and opium) stylized as mushrooms.

Stop arguing with me over it and watch the pharmacratic inquisition.  It is based on years of real research into this topic, and is quite informative.

Humans always have been spiritual beings, it is only once we entered the modern world this connection was lost.  I feel that many of the health problems today, especially mental health is a disconnection with spiritual practice.

As for being scientific, that is pretty fucking irrelevant when it comes to religious experiences.  As I said before science can only take us so far, there is a point where you have to rely on your personal experiences, and the search for god is one of them.  You can't do a double blind study in the search for god, but you can prove (has been done) that mushrooms give a mystical experience.

Don't take this as I have no idea about science or how an experiment works.  I am an honors biochemistry student, I would venture I know more about human and cell physiology than 98% of the people here.

There is a big difference between the normal chemical drugs, and psychedelics.  When a chemical can change your values and world view so drastically, completely change the focus of your life, while at the same time release all the tight muscles in my back and hip, this is something so much more.  These substances, for me at least, are healing where they are needed (my back for example) while also being mind expanding.  They work on your conciousness, not just the body or mind as pharmaceuticals do.  They interact with the mind and body, bringing help where it is needed.  These are not mere chemicals, they are much much more.

Mescaline especially for me is an incredible medicine and teacher, and for that I regard it as a deity.  For the only real gods that have helped me through my life have been plants, and for that I choose to worship the earth and nature as my god.

I was an atheist for a long time until my first Oral DMT trip.  It was then I realized that we are all gods within ourselves, and every trip since then has confirmed it more and more.  I am not trying to be an egotistical asshole here saying I am better than everyone else.  I am saying that the bible has some truth to it when it said we all hold the kingdom of god within us, and you can used Jesus's body to awaken it.


--------------------
"A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.

Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security."

Albert Einstein

Ideas smell like poop? Can you perhaps show some evidence? :sherlock:



Yes, all of your posts are evidence. Go ahead, sniff them, and smell for yourself. Emperical evidence ftw. :crazy2:

@Cannashroom: Very cool theory, I think exactly the same. Too bad so many people are convinced that we are slaves tho.
