In this episode, Dr. Dave Rabin sits down with Jamie Wheal, bestselling author of Stealing Fire, and celebrated author of Recapture the Rapture, to explore the evolving role of psychedelics in society, from their historical significance in the 1960s counterculture to their emerging therapeutic applications today. They deep dive into consciousness, psychedelics, the concept of ‘rapture', the neuroscience of courage, and insights from Eric Kandel on how evolutionary learning mechanisms shape all decision-making. Examining the contrast between ancient plant medicine traditions and modern high-potency psychedelics, they highlight the challenges of integration, the risks of dependency, and the importance of preparation and support in therapeutic settings. They also address the commodification of psychedelics, the necessity of a sacramental approach, and the deeper spiritual and communal significance of these substances. Ultimately, they emphasize self-discovery, the acceptance of uncertainty, and the requirement for unity and responsible engagement with psychedelics to foster healing and collective transformation.

In this episode, Joe interviews Charles Stang: Professor of Early Christian Thought and the Director of the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard Divinity School. The Center was created to gain a better understanding of world religions by bringing scholars from their respective countries to study and live alongside Divinity School students. As students and Stang started to become interested in psychedelics, a zoom series, "Psychedelics and the Future of Religion," began, and the school just hosted their second conference, "Psychedelic Intersections: Cross Cultural Manifestations of the Sacred." Next year's Psychedelics and Spirituality conference will take place February 15, 2025.  He discusses:  Harvard's psychedelic history, and why it's important to not erase the past out of the interest of presumed legitimacy How people are consistently having extraordinary experiences with psychedelics, but not always with religion: Are people becoming less (or more) religious? The Immortality Key, the Eleusinian mysteries, and psychedelic enthusiasts' need to connect Christianity with psychedelics Psychedelics and other mystery religions, like Hermeticism and Mithraism Why religion is important to so many people, and how it helps us understand the "more-than-human"  and much more.

In this episode, Joe interviews Sean Lawlor: writer and therapist specializing in ketamine-assisted therapy at Reflective Healing in Fort Collins, CO. His first book, Psychedelic Revival: Toward a New Paradigm of Healing, will be released on June 4. Written as somewhat of a primer for psychedelics and psychedelic therapy, he talks about how he decided to write the book, how Michael Pollan was an influence, and the importance of making psychedelic literature not boring: Research and statistics are important, but how does one relate to data points when trying to understand something so rich and weird? He discusses: Studying philosophy, from Nietzsche and Freud to Jung and William James When a clinical frame or license is important (but can you always trust a license?) How context and interwoven culture matter when differentiating between plant medicines and man-made psychedelics Brian Muraresku's The Immortality Key and research into ancient Greeks using psychedelics: Why do we place so much importance on proving this? The importance of community, rituals, shared meanings, mythology, and rites of passage and more! For links, head to the show notes page. 

HIGH on GOD. The SHOCKING LINK between Stoned Greek witches, Christianity, early Civilization & Shrooms. Best-selling Author, Brian C. Muraresku, (The Immortality Key) explores if Jesus might actually be the Greek God Dionysus. He explains how ancient Greeks believed that experiencing your death “before you die” actually provides you the chance for immortality. We go deep and learn about links between early Christianity and Ancient Greek mystical practices, including altered states as a way to be in touch with the spiritual realm, the true origins of Catholicism's body and blood of Christ, and the pivotal role Greek witches played in shaping early Christianity. Brian also breaks down: - How the wine used today in church differs from the psychedelic-infused wine of Ancient Greece - More than metaphor: What it actually means to ingest the body and blood of Christ- Sorcery vs Scripture - Lay down and die: “Incubation” as a path to enlightenment- The dangers of psychedelic use without prep work and appropriate processing- Why he chooses not to use psychedelics himself Join us as we explore these questions, backed by compelling historical evidence and expert insights that will challenge everything you thought you knew about religious history and Western Civilization as we understand it.  Brian C.

Στο σημερινό μας podcast έχουμε έναν καλεσμένο... έναν αξιότιμο καλεσμένο, τον Γιάννη. Γεια σου, Γιάννη! (Γεια σου, Δημήτρη!) Χρόνια πολλά κιόλας! Σήμερα είναι 7 Ιανουαρίου, ε; Γιάννης: [0:39] Ναι, γιορτάζω εγώ και η μισή Ελλάδα. Δημήτρης: [0:42] Εσύ όμως είσαι στην Αγγλία! Γιορτάζεις και στην Αγγλία; Γιάννης: [0:46] Ναι, όσοι μου στέλνουνε χρόνια πολλά αυτό θεωρούν... ότι γιορτάζω και στην Αγγλία, αλλά, ναι... εδώ δεν ξέρουν από namedays. Δημήτρης: [0:53] Ναι, αλλά εσύ κάνεις τίποτα; Φαντάζομαι μόνος σου τα... δεν (Όχι) ξεχνάς ότι υπάρχει αυτό όταν... όταν φεύγεις από το περιβάλλον το... Γιάννης: [1:01] Ναι, ναι, ναι, ναι, ναι, ναι. Και στην Ελλάδα δηλαδή... Ντάξει, άντε να βγαίναμε για κανά φαΐ. Δεν είναι ότι θα κάνουμε κάτι πολύ μεγάλο για την ονομαστική εορτή. Δημήτρης: [1:08] Αλλά και πάλι είναι ωραίο που σήμερα μιλάμε στη γιορτή σου. Εμένα μου αρέσει τουλάχιστον. Είμαστε... καταρχάς να πω ότι αυτό το επεισόδιο είναι vidcast, θα το βάλουμε και σαν βίντεο στο Easy Greek podcast στο YouTube. Είναι μία καλή ευκαιρία να το μοιραστούμε γιατί το βίντεο έχει άλλη δύναμη, όπως και να 'χει. Θα 'θελα να δοκιμάσουμε και βίντεο γενικότερα στο Easy Greek podcast, να δούμε αν μπορούμε να το χρησιμοποιήσουμε πιο συχνά, οπότε είναι και αυτό μία δοκιμή. Όπως και να 'χει, αν εσείς μας ακούτε σε κανονική μορφή podcast, αυτό δεν σας επηρεάζει καθόλου κάπως. Σήμερα θα μιλήσουμε για τα ψυχεδελικά. Έτσι δεν είναι, Γιάννη; (Ναι) Πες μας για τον «Κυκεώνα» και για την Ελληνική Εταιρία Ενθεογόνων. Καταρχάς, στα αγγλικά «Greek Psychedelic Society» και στα ελληνικά «Ελληνική Εταιρία Ενθεογόνων» Γιατί όχι «Ελληνική Ψυχεδελικη Εταιρία». Γιάννης: [2:17] Βασικά λόγω του... της αρνητικής φόρτισης αυτής της λέξης στην ελληνική κοινωνία. Όταν το είχαμε ονομάσει αρχικά έτσι, πάρα πολλοί ερχόντουσαν και μας έλεγαν ότι «Έχετε σχέση με party και psychedelic music και τέτοια πράγματα;». Ναι. Για την υπόλοιπη απομαγνητοφώνηση, γίνετε μέλη μας! (https://easy-greek.org/membership)

Journalist and author Rachel Nuwer joins Whiz on this episode where they take a deep dive into the healing power of MDMA. MAPS just released their most recent Phase III results, and they are even better than the last round. 71% of subjects were clinically ‘healed' from treatment resistant PTSD and trauma. Rachel breaks down the history of MDMA, including seriously flawed studies that resulted in ‘big lies' about MDMA. She talks about how MDMA helps with not only PTSD but those with autism or social anxiety issues. Finally, she gives her prediction about when MDMA will be legal (once again) for therapeutic use. Whiz calls I Feel Love “tied for first” with How to Change Your Mind and the Immortality Key. Grab a copy today – it's a MUST READ: https://a.co/d/gxnYUoV

A quest for the holy grail - from the Ancient Greeks through today - a fascinating read on religion. Hear Michael's conversation with Brian Muraresku, author of "The Immortality Key: The Secret History of the Religion with No Name." Original air date 9 October 2020. The book was published on 29 September 2020.

Today we deep dive into the first 3 chapters of the Psychedelic Gospels: The Secret History of Hallucinogens and Christianity-- this book came out a few years before the Immortality Key and yet name many people are not acknowledging its role in this amazing area of acedemic research.

Karina Machado welcomes Ash Perrow. Ash is an Australian musician, and creative freedom coach. In 2016, Ash had a near death experience (NDE) following complications from back surgery. He experienced leaving his body and returned to it with the awareness that he was permitted to stay ‘for the work that he does and to walk the planet from his heart'. Since then, he has been exploring the barriers to being our truest version of ourselves and helping others to do the same. Along this path, he left his teaching job and returned to writing, sharing and performing music, as well as engaging in deep personal work to discover what prevents us from living a life from the heart. Ash is passionate about helping people to create a life they love, as you're about to discover. As Ash unspooled his story, our conversation branched out in a number of fruitful directions, and I've included links in the show notes to everything we discussed, in case you'd like to explore further. Also, for the first time on the Spirit Sisters podcast, I've included a musical interlude! Ash kindly contributed one of his beautiful songs, called “I'm moving on,” featuring Naomi Connell. Music is such a big piece of Ash's life, so this seems another meaningful way for Ash to share his story – and his heart – with us all on the show today. Listen out for the song around halfway through our conversation, and I invite you to pay close attention to the lyrics. There might be a shining jewel of an invitation there for you.

Conversation starts @ 6:29 “Ecstasy, trance, and soul flight … these powerful and potentially transformative elements of ancient experience have long been left to the fringes of archaeological research.” Dr. Sarah K. Costello and John begin with a question exploring the often unconscious issue of projecting modern perspective onto antiquity to support a current argument. As an archeologist, anthropologist, & art-historian, Dr. Costello's peak into antiquity is through the lens of the material content. We continue exploring the contributions of Dr. Costello's various disciplines, challenges of evaluating art in antiquity, symbols, Gobekli Tepe, interpretation of antiquity, carefully approaching one's intuitive assumptions about antiquity and the risk of projection and bias, the Transcendent as a cultural universal, challenging the idea of universals, narrativization of consciousness, cross-cultural studies, universals and the particulars, we discuss her creative process for the book, “The Routledge Companion to Ecstatic Experience in the Ancient World,” defining ecstatic experience, we discuss, The Immortality Key, & cultural containers for alternate states in antiquity. Bio: Sarah Kielt Costello, Ph.D., has taught art history at UHCL since 2014. She teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in the humanities and the history of ancient art. She was the recipient of the UH Provost's Teaching Excellence Award in 2012. Dr. Costello's research focus is the visual culture of the early periods of the Ancient Near East. In her writing, she investigates the social contexts of visual culture, especially how people store and communicate ideas, and how imagery relates to religion. She is a project leader of a collaborative research initiative with Houston's Menil Collection, focused on the art of the ancient Mediterranean world. She has conducted field research in Cyprus, Turkey, Israel, and Greece, and in 2013 studied in Greece as a Fulbright Fellow in the summer session at the American School of Classical Studies. https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Companion-to-Ecstatic-Experience-in-the-Ancient-World/Stein-Costello-Foster/p/book/9780367480325 Website for The Sacred Speaks: http://www.thesacredspeaks.com WATCH: YouTube for The Sacred Speaks https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOAuksnpfht1udHWUVEO7Rg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesacredspeaks/ @thesacredspeaks Twitter: https://twitter.com/thesacredspeaks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesacredspeaks/ Brought to you by: https://www.thecenterforhas.com Theme music provided by: http://www.modernnationsmusic.com

Today I'm joined by my friends Kristina Soriano and Jonas Di Gregorio. Jonas and Kristina co-founded the Psychedelic Literacy Fund, a beautiful non-profit focused on translating books on psychedelics into different languages – providing a massive impact at a comparably small financial cost. In this episode, we discuss Jonas and Kristina's respective journeys, the impact psychedelic medicines had on their paths, and how their love for music and community brought them together at a music festival in Oregon. From there, they describe the history of starting the Psychedelic Literacy Fund, the books that have been translated thus far, and how the Fund brought them together with one of our shared heroes, Dr. Stanislav Grof - the pioneer of LSD psychotherapy. We then discuss the life of Dr. Grof and the impact his work has had on our respective lives. Next, we discuss the book The Immortality Key and the idea that, “if you die before you die, you won't die when you die”. From there, we discuss the inner workings of the book publishing world, the importance of reading, the connection between literacy and the ongoing resurgence of psychedelics today and the Women's Visionary Council.

“Are psychedelics the Google Maps to the kingdom of heaven?” - Brian Muraresku Today's guest is author Brian Muraresku. I just finished his book, "The Immortality Key", so it's the perfect time to have him on the show to dive into the fascinating topic of the role of psychedelic use in early Christianity. Brian was raised Catholic just like I was, so we had a great conversation about seeing the Church as a business today and what role rituals have in society. Humans have been studying this question for thousands of years and we are still pinning down an answer. In this episode, Brian and I discuss what was in ancient wine, what they drank at the last supper, and when Christianity became mainstream. He also shares some of the research he came across while writing his book that points to early psychedelic use within the communities that gave rise to Christianity. While looking into the historical records of mysticism and the birth of religion as we know it, Brian found examples of people seeking out the meaning of life by bringing about experiences of “mini deaths” and coming out the other side understanding their true identities. Listen in to learn who Jesus really was and what he wanted, why beer is such a fascinating beverage, and what Brian learned from a near-death experience.

I've been taking some time to do some theological responses on YouTube to the recent conversation between Jordan Peterson, John Vervaeke, Bishop Robert Barron, and Jonathan Pageau. This is part 3 in that series (the other's of which are available on YouTube). There was a section of the conversation I could not neglect. Jordan Peterson thinks the New Testament book of Revelation is the result of a psychedelic experience. Is there evidence to support that claim? And what about his admiration for "The Immortality Key" book and the author's claims about Communion wine being a psychedelic mixture? Why aren't more Christian theologians grappling with psychedelics and their potentiality for producing transformative, mystical experiences?

Brian Muraresku, author of “The Immortality Key,” joins Ronan to discuss how psychedelics may have been instrumental to the rise of Christianity, and why despite writing one of the most acclaimed books on psychedelics, Brian himself has never tried them. They dive into the mantra, “to die before you die means you don't die when you die” and why it may be the secret to a lifetime of happiness. Brian's debut book “The Immortality Key” explores pharmacological influence dating back to ancient times, impacting religion and even many of the scriptures we are all familiar with. His book argues that the use of psychedelics may have been instrumental to the development of many modern religions as we know them. Brian, a Georgetown Law graduate, also became the founding executive director of Doctors for Cannabis Regulation. Their work has been featured on CNN, ESPN, as well as The Washington Post and San Francisco Chronicle. Brian has also been practicing law internationally for fifteen years.

The Immortality Key is a groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization, and the real-life quest for the Holy Grail that could shake the Church to its foundations.​The most influential religious historian of the 20th century, Huston Smith, once referred to it as the "best-kept secret" in history.

In mental health treatment today, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is nothing less than a sensation, and some of the most promising results are in addiction treatment. Droves of people—from researchers and clinicians to underground shamans and private funders—are hailing the re-emergence of psychedelics like psilocybin, MDMA,  ayahuasca, and ketamine as a “renaissance.” But despite the hype and money being funneled in this direction, big questions remain. What do these substances actually do? How should we use them? And from a broader perspective, how are we supposed to integrate them into our existing, troubled systems?   Dr. Elias Dawkar is an addiction psychiatrist and psychiatric researcher at Columbia on the frontlines of investigating these questions. He has combined ketamine infusions with mindfulness-based relapse prevention and other addiction therapies and found some stunning rates of recovery. Despite being an accomplished scientist, though, Elias is no reductionist—a clinician and a committed meditation practitioner himself, he has a refreshingly nuanced and integrative perspective on the use of psychedelics. For him, addiction is just one manifestation of deeper efforts to free oneself from a “primordial suffering,” and he offers psychedelics in that spirit: “an opportunity for having the freedom the freedom they were looking for in the first place. The freedom, within themselves, from suffering.” In fact, he also has serious qualms about some of the ways psychedelics are being fit into medicine and the marketplace. Elias Dakwar, M.D., is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry, where he is also affiliated with the Columbia Center for Healing of Opioid and Other Substance Use Disorders (CHOSEN). After completing a fellowship in Addiction Psychiatry at Columbia, he began studying the use of ketamine infusions combined with mindfulness training to treat cocaine use disorders. He is now a principal investigator on several large grants evaluating ketamine for the treatment of opioid use disorder, cocaine use disorder, and alcohol use disorder. His work has been published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Harvard Review of Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, and other major scientific journals.  In this episode:  - Elias speaking at the Horizons Conference in New York City. - The connections between psychedelics and other contemplative practices, like vipassana, Vedic mantra-based meditation, and Zen meditation, and how Elias brings mind-body practices into his clinical work. - Elias's perspective on recovery and addiction, and making sense of addiction as just one manifestation of a process of suffering. - Albert Hoffman's storied “Bicycle Day”, the first recorded LSD trip. (a cool illustration here) - The Immortality Key, a historical investigation into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization- The pitfalls of psychedelics: at the individual level, attachment to experience and reifying the trip itself. At the social level, how overmedicalization can miss out on cultural and community renewal as part of flourishing.  Sign up for my newsletter for regular updates on new interviews, material, and other writings.

Today’s episode will blow your mind. We dive into the history of psychedelics and the biggest kept secret in history with Brian Muraresku, author of THE IMMORTALITY KEY: The Secret History of the Religion with No Name.

Pioneering DMT psychedelic researcher Dr. Rick Strassman shares his game-changing work and contrarian outlook and perspectives. We talk about the supreme value in set & setting and how the “expectancy effect” plays a much larger role in the outcomes we receive from peak psychedelic experiences. Dr. Strassman is an unsung hero in this movement who doesn't get proper due for being a first mover in the early 1990s initiating brave and controversial research around the effects of intravenous DMT.   Show notes Dr. Rick Strassman   We Discuss;   -Dr. Rick Strassman's inspired vision behind service projects [5:00]   -Pineal gland & melatonin [7:15]   -DMT research findings [12:30]   -DMT is not inherently spiritual [19:45]    -Dr. Strassman's views around mystical experiences [24:20]   -Expectancy Effect and Set & Setting [29:20]   -Inspiration for DMT & The Soul Prophecy [35:00]   -Hebrew Bible as a spiritual model for psychedelic integration [40:30]   -Huge amount of overlap in DMT state and prophetic experience [42:10]   -Adverse effects of psychedelic research model [45:00]   -Golden Rule [53:30]   Connect with Dr. Rick Strassman:    https://www.rickstrassman.com   DMT: The Spiritual Molecule    DMT: and the Soul Prophecy      Helpful Resources:    The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku   The Road to Eleusis: Unveiling the Secret of the Mysteries by Dr. Carl Ruck   Storming Heaven by Jay Stevens    Acid Dreams by Martin Lee

This is part two of our important traits of Neomodernism series. We're going to discuss our need to transcend the corporeal (the body). We'll talk a little Captain Ahab from Moby-Dick, some Saint Augustine, and we'll dive into Dr. Roland R. Griffith's research at Johns Hopkins University on psychedelics. Why does it seem like the research that came out in the 1960s was largely ignored? Whereas, today, the research into expanding the mind through psychedelics seems to be gathering quite a lot of steam? We'll have to think about that and try to answer it in this episode. I talk a bit about Brian Muraresku's book: The Immortality Key as well and why, even among atheists, it seems like religious language is still the most accurate language from describing psychedelic experiences. And if you start feeling too overwhelmed by the experience, you need not worry. We're also going to talk about meditation and how we try to transcend the body through mindfulness. It all comes together with a section from Walt Whitman's "I Sing the Body Electric." Can you ask for a better episode? Probably. But, I can't deliver one as of yet.

Punctuating the first season of The Heart of Law, Mirena invites the perfectly sanguine and finely enlightened guest, Ilya Lerma, into the show. Our riveting anchor calls Ilya the New Age Lawyer, and the title fits her well.  Ilya gives us a  backdrop of a picturesque childhood entrenched with philosophy and a keen awareness of others. Nurtured by accomplished and astute parents who lovingly raised her to have a sentient worldview beyond her youth,  she saw life through the eyes of Kant, Jung, Hume, among other empiricists and rationalists who later influenced her adult life. Deeply transformed by CC Zane's Spiritual Alchemy, Ilya considers the “material universe [as] a manifestation of the metaphysical universe,”  perceiving everyday pressures as mere tools of refinement “into spirit and transcendence.”  She views the personal and professional pressure of the daily grind as the “alchemical furnace,” effectively used by the universe to refine her intuition, her consciousness, her humanity. While she acknowledges her law practice as “a little unorthodox,”  we know Ilya is as endearing as they come—regularly earthing (removing shoes for one's soles to commune with the earth), faithfully meditating, and gently pursuing vivid connections with everyone. With the soul of a seeker, she understands the intrinsic value of showing trustworthiness, perceiving that authenticity makes for meaningful work, relationships, and existence.  Into the deep dive, Ilya leads us through the fascinating world of Trial Structure, a scientifically systematized method of taking, streamlining, and organizing information from plaintive cases, so lawyers know how to efficiently "recognize predictable patterns of … attack [and] anticipate them." Ilya runs this company alongside her mentor and friend, Alejandro Blanco. With a prolific team of seasoned trial lawyers, they prepare inexperienced colleagues to handle the complexities of a case and more. As the conversation continues, Mirena and Ilya discuss the impact women have in the law industry. With Ilya as the current president of the Arizona Trial Lawyers Association—the first woman to hold office in 20 years—she stays at the forefront representing women who influence the “changing landscape”  of their profession. They touch on organic feminine allegiances, unique client advocacy, versatile plaintiff representations, all driven by the capable female id. WIth minds in perfect sync, the two indomitable women consider a promising future for themselves and their contemporaries. Ilya bewitches us completely. She loves life. She loves others. She loves herself—inviting us all to do the same. Fearless love “ … it's always there, and there's never any fear that you're going to [fall] short.”  That's one transcendent edict bringing The Heart of Law's first season to a sublime close.

And it's deeply gratifying.”“ When you are able to love [yourself], you truly love everybody.”“We're going to have to rethink the business of law ““In order to be a great lawyer, you have to be adventurous. You have to try a lot. You have to be open to everything, because the people that you're going to encounter in your practice [and represent], are people that have had… a very colorful life.

For episode 22 of Business, Life, and Ayahuasca we are incredibly thankful to have on the godfather of psychedelics, Dennis Mckenna. Dennis Mckenna has been on the scene of the psychedelic movement since the 60s and is still vastly influential today. Dennis Mckenna along with his late brother Terrence Mckenna were a key factor in the introduction of psilocybin mushrooms in the United States. They are considered pioneers of western psychedelic culture and Dennis Mckenna continues to impact the culture through education and organizations such as his very own Mckenna Academy of Natural Philosophy.

As a wide-eyed, brainwashed christian, I thought I could change the world. I was mostly fattening up the wallets of middle-aged, maniacal korean men with a penchant for power.  I now understand I can't change the world.  It isn't my problem to solve.  I am ordinary.  This is not pity, rather, it's an admission that I am part of a whole.   To be special, an outlier, you will be set apart, burdened with an affliction to carry much suffering.   (Jebus got nailed...literally.)Within myself, however, I can change the world.  Some need help, some more than others.  Psychedelic was what I needed.  Chapter 1: 1:18 It found me - Important Disclaimers, my "why"Chapter 1.2: 4:59 Set, Setting and SafetyChapter 2: 13:40  Science-y StuffChapter 3: 19:11  So It Begins - Yamas and NiyamasChapter 4: 24:16  The Experience, the conversation at the wellChapter 5: 34:04  Dénouement, détendre, relâcher Music: Dreamville by Reaktor & James Chang Books referenced: How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan; Drug Use for Grown Ups by Dr. Carl Hart; The Immortality Key by Brian C.

Brian Muraresku explains the link between drugs and religion. What is the connection between religion, Christianity, Eleusis, and psychedelics? According to Brian Muraresku, author of The Immortality Key, there is secrecy behind the origins of psychedelics and the connection psychedelics have to early Christianity and Christmas. Brian Muraresku's book The Immortality Key is what Graham Hancock and Joe Rogan call the "best-kept secret in history". Brian C. Muraresku is the New York Times Best Selling author of The Immortality Key: the Secret History of the Religion with No Name. His book is a groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization, and the real-life quest for the Holy Grail that could shake the Church to its foundations. He believes that the psychedelic origins of the world's great spiritual practices could impact how we view ourselves and the world around us. Brian recently gained global attention for his appearance on The Joe Rogan Show with Graham Hancock (episode #1543). I thank him for joining me today!

Psychedelica Lex Episode 020: Six Books Reviewed I took vacation two weeks ago and caught up on a little reading. I comment on each: 1. The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku 2. Magic Medicine by Cody Johnson 3. Drugs and Human Behaviour by Gordon Claridge 4. Medical Psychedelics by Oliver Rumle Hovmand 5. Moksha by Aldous Huxley 6. Ethnopharmacologic Search for Psychoactive Drugs 1967-2017 by Various ____________________________________________________ Author and host, Gary Michael Smith, Esq., is a decades-experienced, AV rated, attorney, American Arbitration Association panelist, founding director of the Arizona Cannabis Bar Association, board member of the Arizona Cannabis Chamber of Commerce, and general counsel to the nation's oldest federally recognized, 501C3, multi-racial peyote church. Psychedelica Lex is the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of the laws and regulations governing psychedelic substances. ABOUT THE PSYCHEDELICA LEX PODCAST AND CHANNEL President Nixon's enactment of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970 banished most psychedelics to Schedule I, making psychedelics for most purposes illegal. However, as the Congressional Record reveals, psychedelics never got a fair trial and little scientific evidence, if any, was considered by lawmakers. Prohibition was more about politics than public health. Yet, historical record, anecdotal evidence, and scientific studies all suggest that prohibition was an unnecessary and harmful overreaction and that many benefits may be derived from psychedelics. Psychedelica Lex puts the question of psychedelics on trial. Hosted by a veteran litigation attorney, each episode will explore psychedelics from different perspectives. As we explore the evidence together, you - the audience - will serve as jurors. Together we will examine every facet. Applying the rigors of cross examination and the Socratic method, we will seek an objective truth. ____________________________________________________________ The growth, trafficking, sale, possession, or consumption of psychedelics, may be a felony punishable by imprisonment, fines, forfeiture of property, or any combination thereof.

The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku takes the reader along on his twelve-year global hunt for proof. He tours the ruins of Greece with its government archaeologists. He gains access to the hidden collections of the Louvre Museum to show the continuity from pagan to Christian wine. He unravels the Ancient Greek of the New Testament with the world's most controversial priest. The most influential religious historian of the 20th century, Huston Smith, once referred to it as the "best-kept secret" in history. Did the Ancient Greeks use drugs to find God? And did the earliest Christians inherit the same, secret tradition? A profound knowledge of visionary plants, herbs and fungi passed from one generation to the next, ever since the Stone Age?

Ergot, LSD and the Birth of Western Religions – Ergot is a fungus that parasitizes rye where - in the Middle Ages - it was sometimes milled into the flour used to make bread. Unfortunately for the unsuspecting folks who ate the bread, ergot is rich in powerful alkaloids that can cause a range of symptoms, from visions to gangrene to death. Some historians have postulated that consumption of ergotized bread may have cause the bizarre behaviors that resulted in the Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts in the late 17th century. When employed correctly, ergot offers many beneficial curative properties in terms of treating medical problems in childbirth as well as migraines. And it was the ergot alkloids that inspired Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman in 1938 to devise synthetic chemicals similar to the ergot alkaloids - and one of the results was LSD. This episode also delves into whether visions caused by ergot or other plants of the gods may have played an important role in the formation of several western religions.

Ostrolenk, host of The Emergent Human, speaks with Brian C. Muraresku, an alumnus of Georgetown Law, member of the New York Bar, and author of The Immortality Key: The Secret History of the Religion with No Name. Muraresku's book is a groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics played in the origins of Western civilization. Muraresku discusses what drove his interest in researching psychedelics and what led him to travel the globe in search of this story. The importance of this research, Muraresku explains, lies in our inheritance of Greco-Roman traditions as the foundation of our Western civilization. Muraresku also details the evidence behind the use of psychedelics by spiritual seekers in Ancient Greece, in the Roman Empire, the Pagan Continuity Hypothesis, and the transition of the Pagan Roman Empire to a Christian Empire. Lastly, Muraresku discusses what this research has meant for his own faith journey and his continued work on the topic through a follow-up book and documentary series. To learn more about Brian C.

Opium – Perhaps the most ancient of the “Plants of the Gods,” plant remains in Europe clearly indicate that opium was being used by people more than 10,000 years ago. And not only was opium the first effective painkiller, it was also employed as an inspiration by composers and poets. Only in the 19th century did it become widely realized as a highly addictive substance. Some have suggested that this “Plant of the God” might also be termed a “Plant of the Devil.” Sources: Balick, Michael J., and Paul Alan Cox. Plants, People, and Culture the Science of Ethnobotany.

In this episode, John interviews Brian Muraresku, author of New York Times Bestseller, The Immortality Key: The Secret History of The Religion with No Name. On an average day back in 2007, Muraresku's life changed after reading the Economist's article reviewing the research underway at Johns Hopkins investigating the clinical use of psilocybin mushrooms. Thus, Brian's twelve-year study of a controversial theory was born. The theory positions psychedelics at the root of early the Christian Eucharist, and beyond that, at the root of religion as a whole. Through this conversation, Brian and John explore the psychedelic theory of religion, “graveyard beer” - a psychedelic brew used as a sacrament to commune with the dead 10,000 years ago, the mysteries of Eleusis – a Greek religious, esoteric tradition, literalism, the need for all of us to study the classics, healthy skepticism, Christ as a Dionysus figure, the relationship between blood and wine, the kingdom of heaven (not in the afterlife, but present day), the technology and science that is providing insight into our religious traditions, and the powers that seek to erase those histories – spoiler alert: for the Roman Catholic Church this was women and drugs. Referencing The Immortality Key, Jeff Kripal writes, “Buckle up tight, Toto. You were never in Kansas. It's Oz everywhere and always." BRIAN C.
