This has been an odd feeling I've been having for the past couple weeks. I feel like I was "baptized" and born again, but I can never really pinpoint when it happened. Over time I lost identity of who I was growing up, as if the lockdowns completely erased all sense of who I was. I still have memories of my younger self of course, but now they don't really feel like they're my memories. A lot of my ambitions remain the same, but I still like there's a lot missing. Think of switching from Windows to Linux and you're still struggling to learn all the features. That's how, I guess, my soul feels.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is this supposed to be a good thing?
That they are!! I make sure to thank God everytime I consume my dose, it’s important to take this stuff with positive intentions for the full effect. I’m convinced they may be associated with the “bread” that Jesus referenced with the disciples in the Bible as well.
Wouldn’t shock me on bit if He was teaching them how to use the medicine and when the Roman Catholic’s found out they rearranged the text to make it seem like it’s just normal bread they were eating. Much easier to control a public that is NOT utilizing these in the correct manner.
Yep! If memory serves me right, Graham Hancock did an excellent thesis on ancient Christianity and how natural psychedelics (mushrooms in particular) played a role in its development.
For context; set and setting are important as well. This combined with the right intention (prayer) and the result can change your life. It did mine. I haven’t used them in a few years since my last “therapeutic” dose. Why? I haven’t needed them! I’m not only more in tune with myself and others, but my connection to God has never been more intimate and real.
This is awesome, I’m glad to hear they helped you heal! More people need to be introduced to them. Our current state of mental health care is a disaster and these could change things.
Will definitely look up that thesis, the influence of psychedelic on Christianity would not shock me one bit.
Actually, it was Graham Hancock and Brian Muraresku being interviewed by Joe Rogan where I first heard of the theory. Brian Muraresku does a fantastic deep-dive on it. I highly recommend checking him out. Beware, the initial theory/book “Jesus was a Mushroom” was posed back in 1970 by Allegro and has for the most part been discredited. However, Brian provides a new and interesting perspective that I found fascinating.
“bread” is interesting. About a hundred years ago there was a town in Eastern France where the townspeople had a feast and most ate from the same bread, which contained the active ingredients of LSD.
From Wikipedia: “LSD was first synthesized by Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann in 1938 from lysergic acid, a chemical derived from the hydrolysis of ergotamine, an alkaloid found in ergot, a fungus that infects grain.”
Whoa! Hadn’t heard of this. Maybe the theories about the “bread” being a psychedelic are correct then? Could absolutely see it
