A man with zero psychedelic experience at the forefront of questioning the entire history of organised religion's relationship with psychedelics. Superb.

[@aldolorenzone]

Psychedelics will find their way, eventually

[@pariaheep]

It's genius.!😆

[@hughanglin]

As a 74 year old child of the 60s in southern Cal, one of my bucketlist items would be to hang out with Brian when he loses his psychevirginity. Great book, brother!

[@PlateArmorUnderwear]

So excited! He was outstanding on the JRE and his book is densely packed with super interesting psychedelic history. Groundbreaking work. This guy is dangerous!

fantastic outstanding pod... also from a psyco virgin lol... my eyes and mind have been blown wide open to all the stress and ok bs if you like all over the years trying to get my uneducated head around all this stuff... i was litterally scratching at the surface as i knew and felt it was something i just did not know what or couldnt put my finger on it then i started watching brian in many many pods and ive watched hundreds now but it all makes sooooooo much more sense once someone opens the door for you... you dont get to hear or learn about this stuff anywhere else, from school to life... i thankyou so much, im an athiest and i love history and this is so refreshing... its like i knew i was looking for some answer, its so obvious i could not see it... brilliant stuff absolutely brilliant guys, thanks so much for what you do and for todays advancement that we can share these topics now... why you have not got multi millions of views is beyond me

[@jackiegear]

woah. I have an airbnber in my house tonight who let out his basement to Brian Muraresku. Listened to him for the first time tonight and soooo interesting. It fits in with my own beliefs and theories. Perhaps see you with Jo in Hawaii Brian.

[@kalijuri]

i hope he finally does a journey himself. imagine how much more his work could be with that actual knowledge.

[@Rastamahatma]

He can't, it would be the first attack anyone used to discredit him, it's the sad reality of it.

[@Enders.paradise888]

@@Rastamahatma its a sad reality we live in, if he did psychedelics they would call him a "druggie" and ignore his research

[@eliasekstrom6660]

@@Rastamahatma maybe he knows that. and wont admit he has tried drugs. It is not unthinkble? i know a guy has a who has political carear now. He would never admit publicly that we did psychedelics in our youth:D

[@jokerkyng2610]

yes so true especially on JRE with much more time available. it looks like Alex Grey opened a window for the 1st journey as well!

[@postsolstice]

The Assyrians had beer too.. The Epic of Gilgamesh talks of it!

[@placebo5466]

This was a beautiful conversation. I haven't touch mushroom/psychadelics since I was a teenager when I usually did them to party. I am slowly starting to get myself into the mindset to experiment again and treating them as an absolute sacrament and only planning to do them a couple times a year. It's a beautiful thing to prepare for.

[@vajraman2067]

As one of the "tail end of the hippy" generation, born in '60,, I came to the psychedelic experience, with the armour of Watts, Trungpa, Tarthang Tulku Namkhai Norbu, Evans Wentz and Blofeld among many others. To quote Ram Dass or his guru: "Drugs can take you to the feet of Jesus, but they won't leave there". The reason of course being, that you have never left the feet of Jesus or Buddha etc...in the first place.

[@marshallmaxwell4572]

Thank YOU for your guidance, and I LOVE your thoughts. I LOVE the last remark especially! I was raised in the LDS religion (Planning to Remove My Records) but I LOVED studying the Bible; Just a thought thinking of how it seemed that the ultimate Euphoric experience that has “happened” in the Bible, is of mainly Women weeping bathing Jesus’s feet with kisses and tears a like, Mourning and Wailing at His feet wishing they could remove him from these awful agonizing Death. An experience like that lasts only but a moment. Just as the counter Perspective claims the opposite. Medicinal Healing Plants which I have heard of; cause such an experience that leaves the soul feeling timeless, Unconditional LOVE, and the widest Perspective you’ve ever known. Thank you for letting me share❤️

Listening to this now on Audible. Phenomenal work!!!!!!!!!! There has been a new discovery in Egypt that they believe was a brewery. Matthew Adams of NYU and Deborah Vischak of Princeton found it around Abydos believed to date during King Narmer, 3273 to 2987 BC.

This is great, I heard him on the JRE right after this year's autumnal equinox where Alex and Allyson talked about Eleusis and Persephone! So excited to see them all talking together!!

[@dr.nivedidageorge998]

Read the book and thought what would Alex grey have to say about this. And voila. Already here!

[@mpgallogly]

So when are we going to kickstart the return of the Eleusinian Mysteries? I think Dennis Mckenna and Pierre Grimes were talking about that as well.

[@raincastellanos3722]

Ah. Lets find the nearest park at midnight and pass around the ergot 🍺

How about now ? Just do it .

[@scottyrush1523]

Three Great minds! Psilocybin definitely played a larger role but is too easily degraded to find "evedince" for testing. Looking forward to reading the book and I hope Brian has his encounter with psilocybin soon.

[@Avalaraeon]

I love the dual simultaneous meaning of spiritual and physical in scripture 😃

So impressed with this guy! I've been watching him on a bunch of podcasts and am diving deep into his book. Pretty much love his academic approach while still being open-minded enough to explore every avenue available. His is research is totally lifting the veil on this subject in following in the footsteps of Ruck, and Wasson.

He said on Rogan's podcast that exists some kind of prejudice on the scientific/academic world over hallucinogenics consumption. Even though he read about those experiences in a young age and he was looking forward to investigate this subject, he decided to not incur on the consumption of those substances so his work would be more respected.
