was using a psychedelic sacrament.

So they were using a bread, a wine, whatever their sacrament was, and it had a psychedelic substance in it.

Now they have medical journals and everything on it.

And essentially it's, it's,

when you're putting your body under constant stress and having these things happen to your head at the same time, it's taking a toll on every part of you.

And so early Christianity, how were they going to be able to compete if these people were literally experiencing God in the woods?

It's taking a toll on your hormones, on the way your brain works, and it's doing a lot of bad things.

You can't just tell somebody to come to church.

That's not really an option.

So the book goes on to argue that early Christianity used a psychedelic sacrament.

And then guys end up with not just traumatic brain injuries, but other things that are hard to track.

So the blood of Christ, the wine that you would typically drink,

Like I said,

trying to track the hormones, muscular skeletal injuries, like just everything throughout the body that's a cause of this stuff, lead in the blood.

actually had a psychedelic aspect to it.

And with that, there are monasteries in Greece with a very old phrase written on them that says, if you die before you die, you won't die when you die.

And it's just, you know, it's taken its toll on guys.

And that phrase was probably the most impactful for me before this journey.

I was about two weeks from getting out and there was a static shoot.

To me, I interpret that as if you can have such a profound experience here on Earth, most likely with psychedelics, because I'm not sure how else you're going to get this unless you're very advanced at meditation.
