Michi713 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 From book Plants of the Gods: Ancient Greece: In the temple of Apollo at Delphi, the “navel of the world,” the Sibyl and prophetess informed the Pythia of her oracle after she had inhaled the smoke of Henbane. China: Emperor Shen Nung discovered medicinal properties of many plants including cannabis Elusian mysteries: The alkaloid-rich Ergot of the Paspalum grass was used as a secret ingredient in Kykeon, the initiatory drink of Eleusis Buddhism: It was believed that when Buddha preached, dew or raindrops fell from heaven on Datura. Hinduism: Datura flower is associated with the God Shiva Aztec: God Xochipilli, the ecstatic Prince of Flowers has representations of mushroom caps, Morning Glory, Tobacco, Sinicuiche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michi713 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Yeah and they are obviously not for everybody. Whatever gifts that are enhanced or brought out by certain substances already reside within you and can be accessed by other means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Psychedilics only became prohibited in the 1920s and 10 years later people began drilling holes in peoples heads trying to find brain disease tissue which they never found. Pilsner lager for example was pilsner because it contained Hyoscamis Niger - Henbane - Hyoscamine. It had been around for a long time before Coca-cola were selling their famous coka plant drink called coca-cola. Psychedelics werent just used prior to the 20th century, they were normal. Alexander Dumas writes about getting stoned in his novel The Count of Monte Cristo. LSA (a crude form of LSD grows quite naturally on wheat and other crops. They had access to these things without restriction in a world before lieracy led to book burning led to the google approved literature we have today. Non-psychedelics may be an undernourishment that causes mental illnesses like the belief permeating in psychiatric "science" that the human soul is made of meat.

peter Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 If psychedelics are not required for a healthy existence ,both physically and mentally, why is DMT produced in the human body?, which is not exclusive by the way. Here in Aus it is illegal to posses or produce DMT so technically it could be argued you are breaking the law just by being alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also can fuel chaos to a degree. "“Chaos is what we've lost touch with. This is why it is given a bad name. It is feared by the dominant archetype of our world, which is Ego, which clenches because its existence is defined in terms of control.” -T mck He also said that chaos provides opportunity. Went on about entropy too. Edited October 28, 2020 by rooey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooey Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 you could argue though that those civilisations were attempts to avert chaos or perceived chaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
