POPULARITY
For episode #79 it is my great pleasure to welcome the author, visionary CEO and shaman (although he denies it) someone I'm very proud to call a friend; the Reverend Danny Nemu. Danny's background is in the history and philosophy of medicine from the University of Manchester. He first encountered ayahuasca when living in Japan. After six years drinking there with a Santo Daime group, he followed the trail back to its source in the Brazilian Amazon, where he was bitten by a sandfly, leading to a leishmaniasis infection. This highly aggressive bacterial parasite quickly colonised a few inches of his skin, with designs on much more, and proved to be a great teacher, providing ample opportunity to study firsthand the intricacies and potencies of ayahuasca as used as a medicine within the Daime worldview. The process took eight months, involving diets and barks, many rituals, and daily consumption of the visionary brew. By the end of it he had lost 10 kilos and gained a deep respect for the complexity and intelligence of the natural world. He has released two of his three books on the apocalypse and is two drafts into the third... The first book ‘Science Revealed - The apocalypse in science: discovery', covers the biographies of scientists including Tesla and Einstein, and reveals how our most groundbreaking ideas result not from rational thinking and tapping on calculators, but from visions, dreams, feverish delirium, and other non-rational revelations. The second: ‘Neuro-Apocalypse' is about veils arising in the course of cognition, and revelations that cut them down. To that end, we discuss the presence of visionary drug use in the bible, most notably Frankincense and Myrrh He is the founder-CEO of Reforestation and Agroforestry charity RAIN: RAIN focuses the resources and intelligence of a distributed global network via local nodes into vitally important projects to regenerate degraded land. In the Plus Show there is an extra hour, where we discuss apocalyptic waves, novelty, and what shamanism is and what it isn't. A riveting and informed conversation thanks to Danny!

It probably didn't take us humans very long to discover that certain plants and fungi, when we interacted with them or ingested them- would cause strange effects. Sometimes terrifying, sometimes prophetic, often exhilarating- Drugs and our dalliances with them have intrigued and enthralled us for longer than we've been recording history. Many would say that these substances and spirituality are intrinsically linked in many ways. Of course, Magicians and Witches have utilized this to great effect as well. It goes without saying, WMiT? had to bring on someone who can elucidate our fascination with Drugs and Magic like no other- The Reverend Danny Nemu.

There are drugs in the bible and the most high were getting really high on 'em. ... So what if I were to tell you that the ancient Israelites upon which these the religions are based were a cult of desert pagans following the wisdom of shamans who used plant-based concoctions in hallucinogenic rituals to induce altered states of consciousness; and that the very structure of those religions today are based on clandestine distortion of the original teachings in order to disconnect the populous from direct connection to the divine in order to establish and maintain sociopolitical control? That is what the guest for this episode of Adventures Through The Mind, Reverend Danny Nemu, is here present a case for. *** See bit.ly/ATTMind61 for full show notes and reference links *** Episode Breakdown What drugs are in the bible and where you can find them. Aphrodisiacs and sexual promiscuity in the bible. The different names (and personalities) of God. The presence of DMT-containing Acacia across the folklore of ancient Israelites and the Egyptians. A breakdown of different psychoactive concoctions in the bible and their pharmacological effect, including: The Holy Anointing Oil. Manna. The Showbread. The incense used in the holy tabernacle. The origins of The Old Testament and the modern bible. How and why the biblical texts have been clandestinely modified. The anarchistic beginnings of Christianity and how the Israelites became monotheistic (they weren't originally). The ontological necessity of the physical resurrection of Christ for maintaining political and societal control hierarchy within Christianity. What this all means for the average person today. *** SUPPORT THE SHOW If you are enjoying this content, please support me in producing it for you by offering what you can in a one-time PayPal donation or by becoming a patron on Patreon.

Our guest is Reverend Danny Nemu, historian and author. He talks to us about drugs in the bible – and how priests used them to induce divine visions. It’s surprising how many natural substances mentioned in the bible are psychoactive, and were almost certainly used for their mind-altering properties. We also discuss how drug stigma has changed since biblical times, and what it means for the future of psychedelics.
