Adam Drissi on Psychedelics in Ancient History & Religion

Adam Drissi, author of Eden & Entheogens, joined us for a multidimensional journey into the ancients' entheogen-use for consciousness expansion. Much of this was based on Terence McKenna's "Stoned Ape" theory. We covered new insights on the genesis of civilizations like Atlantis, Phoenicia, Egypt, and Israel. And how ancient Gnosis was carried forth in shamanistic, psychedelic movements. This includes many of the Old Testament exemplars like Moses, David, Solomon, and Abraham. Behind a history of religious censorship, we find many getting high to reach high spiritual places. This is a partial show for nonmembers.
