Jesus and the Magic Mushroom

Gnostic Media is excited to announce the special 40th Anniversary Edition of John Marco Allegro's The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, with an all-new foreword by Judith Anne Brown and afterword by Carl A.P. Ruck. In his groundbreaking book, Allegro explores the roots of several world religions by tracing the origin of key words to fertility cults, whose practices including ingesting hallucinogenic drugs. Though originally condemned and vilified, recent evidence from many scholars and academic arenas have emerged which support Allegro's theories. Perhaps our world is now better equipped to do as Allegro hoped through his body of work - understand our origins so that we may free ourselves from dogma and consciously take responsibility for the lives we lead.

Time for re-discovery

Highryder -- the "Jesus

Submitted by drew hempel on Fri, 10/23/2009 - 17:41.

Highryder -- the "Jesus smoked pot" researchers explain that the "Jesus did Shrooms" researchers were AGAINST the pot theory -- still there has to be some cross-over somewhere.... perhaps the wine at Cana? (Cana referred to Cannabis and not the name of a town? -- that one's hard to smoke!)

here's from searching "Jesus smoked pot":

"In The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, Allegro translated the kaneh-bosm reference in Exodus as "aromatic cane", and I have quoted him here on how the anointing oil "could produce a kind of intoxicating belief in self-omniscience." Yet Allegro failed to make the rightful connection with cannabis, seeing instead another plant drug at use, the amanita muscaria mushroom. His writings reveal he was extremely prejudiced against cannabis, even going so far with his etymological arguments as to suggest that the Greek term "kannabis" somehow referred to a mushroom. Allegro never smoked marijuana, but his own observations of what he referred to as "the 'pot'-smokers of today, the weary dotards who wander listlessly round our cities and universities," caused him to discount any possible use of cannabis as a means of achieving spiritual ecstasy."

When you do Magic Mushroom, it causes a mind altering change in your perception, inducing astral projection, hypnagogic trance, disassociation, visual and auditory hallucinations, etc. It's a great experience. Also try Ethcathinone.

I don't think I understand

I don't think I understand what do magic mushrooms have to do with Jesus, these plants contain hallucinogenic substances and people regularly use them to get high, I doubt they think about Jesus when they try the drug, maybe when they decide to get drug rehab treatment they remember about God.
