Talk:The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross

Why ridicule?

Do the people who ridiculed Allegro know any pharmacology? 86.178.174.199 (talk) 00:01, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

It's human nature to fear the unknown. In any case, what people often forget, is that the simplest explanation for the origin of religion is the entheogenic experience, not supernatural beings. It's so obvious, yet as you observe, completely ridiculed. Similar things have happened before. The evidence is overwhelming. The I and Thou relationship reported by users of visionary plants is virtually identical to those who report "hearing" the voice of "God". Strangely enough, this dovetails nicely into theories of bicameralism. Julian Jaynes was definitely on to something important here, and I suspect in time he will be vindicated. Anyone paying the slightest attention to social history notices the tendency for awareness to increase over time loosely correlated with altered states of consciousness in successive waves of cultural experimentation.

The Transmigration of Timothy Archer

This book sounds pretty similar to a book by Philip K. Dick about ancient mushroom cults. Is there any connection?87.79.150.98 (talk) 16:30, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

The common idea of a longhaired Jesus more fits a DMT seed.

The common idea of a longhaired Jesus more fits a DMT seed, with his diciples more like hashbuddies, who do this type of groupactivity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.136.53 (talk) 02:50, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Philip Jenkins

It might provide a fairer balance if it was reported that Philip Jenkins is a conservative pro-Christianity writer. 2A00:23C6:3095:3B01:B53A:5579:4E4D:48A3 (talk) 14:07, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
