Is the direct religious experience missing from modern day religion? What is it about the shamanic technique that is so powerful? What is DMT and where does it come into the religious experience? ————- Coffee, Cigarettes & Gnosis #31– Being John Allegro-vich Shamanism & drug use in Judaism, early Christianity & Gnosticism. –Special Guests– Jan Irvin & Andrew Rutajit, authors of ‘Astrotheology & Shamanism in Christianity and Other Religions’. Topics discussed: — –The reality that Judaism and Christianity, like most religions, were fertility, solar cults who utilized entheogens in a widespread manner. It just wasn’t the priest who partook of the ‘funny herbs’, mon. –Clues in the Bible, Gnostic texts and the Judeo/Christian tradition that point to the positive usage of entheogens and hallucinogens. –How the war on drugs (which is also the war on the Goddess) began hundreds of years before Christ with a changing Jewish Priesthood, fanned out into the Christian worldview centuries later, and continues today with the same nefarious intentions. –The spiritual and scientific effects of using certain entheogens such as mushroom, natural LSD and cannabis. –Evidence of entheogens also in Hinduism and Buddhism. –Redeeming John Allegro and his controversial discoveries of The Dead Sea Scrolls. (Jesus is a Mushroom…whadda ya gonna do?) And much more! Gnostics have always been accused of being ‘out there’.
