# 8 - Prehistory: The Preflood Religious Use of Sacraments

Here follows an account of the religious beliefs of the per-deluge or flood peoples (Atlantis).

Even though "SOMA" is thought of as East Indian 'after the deluge' its history proceeds the flood.

40,000 years ago mankind gathered the bluing Psilocybin mushrooms from the tropical climate of India.  These mushrooms sprang up in and around cow pastures.  At around 2,000 BC Nordic Tribes of Aryan’s invaded the Indus Valley bring with them the “Red Bull of the Mountain.”  Soma, originally Psilocybin was now Soma—Amanita muscaria.  Indu was name given the original Soma (Psilocybin).  Later a vine crept into the mix-Argyreia nervosa of the Morning Glory Family—Symbolized by the Conch Shell.  “Ye will not find him who produced these creatures: another thing hath risen up among you.  Enwrapt in misty cloud, with lips that stammer, hymn-chanters wander and are discontented” (Moore, 1957:18).

The earliest rock art depicting psychoactive medicines is of Psilocybin mushrooms from India.  At 40,000 years old, it is clear that humanities consciousness found its major catalyst here.  The “Rock,” as Psilocybin is sometimes called was depicted by early humans in an unusually reverse of anthropomorphization.  Humans made themselves into mushroom people—in India.  The earliest written religious text, the “Rig Veda” testifies to this bemushroomed state when it records that the ‘Golden Embryo first arose over the waters covering the earth—from it was born all that breaths and blinks.’  Psilocybe cyanesis, shown above is commonly found in the Indus Valley where these petroglyphs are found.  Please pay special note to the first image which has "arrow head" mushrooms popping out of the Bee Shaman and note also the "arrow tail" above - it runs through history as you will see.

Here we see "Humankind" holding up the "Tree of Life" - dated 40,000 years old...

This precious Living Manna can heal serious addictions, abuse issues and have an impact on many physical and emotional diseases.  We observed one man who had been a functioning alcoholic and cigarette smoker for 30 years who kicked both habits after one 7 gram journey.  He is now motivated to look at the issues under the addictions and has used the sacrament to help him to access these issues that were part of the underling material in his subconscious.  The implications for this medicine are immense.  Perhaps this will assist in the arrival of the final stage in which humanity will at last live in peace with each other through the cleansing of the hearts of those walking wounded on the planet.  We know another woman who is healing from extreme childhood abuse with the help of this medicine.  Layer after layer of stored painful emotions and the poor life choices that rested upon those dark holes are being cleansed and filled in.  The implications for those who end up in jails are significant, as Psilocybin raises the Serotonin levels throughout the body.  Major studies have shown a causal link between crimes such as murder and low levels of the “King Transmitter” Serotonin (Roger D. Masters 1994 & Strassman 2001).  The majority of them are acting out from abusive childhood issues that have gone untreated.  This medicine could impact our world in a truly positive way- binging an awareness of the living Christ as well as cleansing the hearts of the wounded.  

Gordon Wasson first identified the 10,000 year old petroglyphs from the Pegtymel River in Far East Siberia.  With careful inspection you can make out not only the hemispherical mushroom caps of Amanita muscaria above the females, but you can see the Psilocybe mushroom headed male in their midst—whose head cap like Psilocybin has a slight point to it (I guess the Women just wanted to be different...Shocker!).  What choice to have to make, follow the Woman’s lead and eat the red stop sign “apple” or follow God and stick to the Tree of Life. 

Still to this day the Amanita muscaria mushrooms are used by various tribes in Siberia.  There is a custom among them which could easily have lead to the Hindu Caste System.  The wealthy afford themselves a large store of  these dried red and white mushrooms.  In winter when everyone else is out of these mushrooms the urine is drunk to produce the same effect as the mushrooms.  Thus the Brahmin or Priests passed their intoxicating urine to the bravest warrior who took by force his position as first in line.  This warrior then sold his urine to a merchant or trader Caste member for some goods or wealth and on down the line it passed. 

The Venus of Willendorf was found at a Paleolithic village in Willendorf Austria.  It is believed to be roughly 20,000 years old.  At one time this 4” statue was painted red and as you can tell from its head it emulated the Amanita muscaria’s cap as well as color.  Once humankind became ensnared in all that the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil had to offer, we naturally turned to goddess worship as logic and reason show us that all things are born from what is female.  

 

The Algerian Bee Shaman are not all that Terrence McKenna found in Africa.  Above are the dancing bemushroomed peoples of that region—Thought to be 6000 years old, these images show a procession of mushroom headed dancers each caries a mushroom in his hand where it can be seen.  Beneath a trail of stars which fall to the ground at the leaders feet.   Notice the shape these white points of light take once they reach the ground.  It is the geometric outline of a pyramid with the “capstone” - presumably a Psilocybin mushroom next to it.  It is said that before the great flood, two monuments were built one of stone one of clay.  The world was destroyed by flood and the stone monument—The great Pyramid of Gaza seems to be that astronomical and mathematical perfection left to the post deluge age…  Of the line of Seth it is said that he was the first to begin calling on the Name of the Lord again...

The Algerian Bee Shaman (upper left) was first commented upon by Terrence McKenna—It is thought to be 6000 years old.  Notice the stylistic similarity to this South African Bee Shaman of more recent but as yet unknown date.

 Well that's all I have for this entry, stay tuned - next time we dive into history as Civilization Begins...(again).

Sincerely,

Matthalamew

# 4 - Mesoamerica: Teotihuacán

Teotihuacán means ‘The City of the Gods’ or “Where Men Become Gods” (in Nahuatl).  It is located in the valley of the same name 30 miles north of Mexico City.  The city was inhabited between 400 BC and 650 AD with its collapse from 650—750 AD.  The three ‘holy sites’ of Teotihuacán were its pyramids: the temple of the Sun, Moon and Feathered Serpent.  True to the East Indian theology that the sun came from the moon we find that the first temple built was the Temple of the Moon (Psilocybin).  Next the temple of the Sun was built, much larger than the Moon.  Archeologists believe that the Temple of the Sun had been painted red and white.  

The last temple built was the temple of the Feathered Serpent.  While it was built some sixteen prisoners were tied and sealed alive into its walls as a sacrifice to this deity.  Naturally, the devil being so sneaky as to convince the world that he never existed has left only positive descriptions of himself by way of descriptions of the Feathered Serpent.  Yet, the careful researcher will find the truth out.  Above is the temple of the Sun, once red and white for the Amanita muscaria—Santa Claus’ mushroom and also Beelzebub's.  The Quiche Maya refer to it as “the evil mushroom.”  

Teotihuacán temple art is rich with sacramental symbolism.  Take for instance the masked figure above, his mouth is covered with the symbol for wind (i.e. spirit) while his ears have the same symbols as Xochipilli...  Identified with the spiritual ‘hear-aid’ of Psilocybin, you can easily see why these symbols were used when you compare them to these Psilocybe mexicana at left.  As for the association with the moon, well that is because A. muscaria already took the symbol of the sun and Psilocybe are much paler...

Here we have an original Teotihuacán incense burning.  As with most ancient religions, incense was more potent the further you go back.  While we read about frankincense and mur in the Bible, it was with Opium leaves that the Jewish temple columns were covered in...  The residents of Teotihuacán did not suffer to cover these facts up—it was an age of faith.  Here we can identify the Opium Poppy capsules, a yellow Angle Trumpet, grape bunches, a scallop shell and a flower with a tendril—most likely morning glory. 

 

Goddess worship seems to have taken up roots during this era between the Olmec and the Toltec/Maya periods.  Here we see a goddess or priestess, with gold and blue mushrooms in her ears but also with a necklace of morning glories and a branch of tendril flowers that are sure to be the Morning Glories.  Mesoamerican cultures had a tendency to lean to the Snake Plant more than the Mushrooms in part because the Morning Glories could be grown in great abundance along the river side, while mushrooms were seasonal.  Careful examination shows a merging of the two distinct spiritual “plants.”

 

Above you see the twin Morning Glories of Mesoamerica: Ololiuqui and Tlitliltzin whose seeds are crushed to produce the liquid that is drunk.  One vine is painted red while the other is painted yellow, each vine branch ends with a Morning Glory shaped flower with eyes in it.  The central priests hands give off this liquid potion and two tendrils extend above each hand to show that it is Morning Glories.  Mushrooms are also found sprouting up from the liquid that each flower pours out.  This is a reversal of the tradition that the Moon (Psilocybe) is the father and creator of all, the Serpent has supplanted the Jaguar...

 

Here in Teotihuacan, we see the merger that the Olmecs avoided, the Jaguar with the scallop shells lining his back is drinking from a Morning Glory conch shell vessel with a distinctive tendril in its base and flower symbols along the top.  Above are emblems of Toloc—a deity associated with wind/water, is typified by the basic mushroom symbol which looks just like the “M” in mushroom.  Next to Toloc is the star symboled deity, it is arguably representative of the Morning Glory, but could also be an unknown deity ascribed to the star shaped cactus containing Mescaline, the Trichocereus family.  Commonly called San Pedro, it has been documented to have been used as early as 3000 B.C.  The archaeologist Rosa Fung, found the remains of this cactus rolled up into cigar-like form that were dated back to 2200 B.C.  Supposedly the cactus was named after Saint Peter because it was, like Peter, thought to hold the keys to heaven.

 

The Temple of the Feathered Serpent was the last temple to be built.  Some time not long after its dedication, the city rebelled and abandoned the site.  Fire was thrown onto the Fathered Serpents temple…  The other temples were left undisturbed.   Here you see the serpents head, with the universal spiral conch shell next to it—its symbol.  It is likely, because scallop shells are also found on the temples fasad as well as the rain deity Toloc that the usurping of the Mushrooms to be an underling of the Morning Glory was well underway.  Naturally, the human sacrifices that this Snake Plant induced its priests to commit lead to the burning of its temple and the abandonment of Teotihuacán.  By examining the outer flower leaf and petal clasping of the seed capsules themselves we can see where the head of the serpent gets its corona. 

 

These three highly decorative green stones were found inside the Temple of the Feathered Serpent at Teotihuacán.  Notice how their shape is closely matched to the seed capsules of the Morning Glories themselves.  Notice also that the bottoms are not flat or flush but are ground so that the edges have been worn away.  These are the stones used to grind the seeds of what the Aztecs called the Green Snake Plant, they are in effect the same thing as a mortar and pestle.  Turn back a few pages and you will see that the goddess emerges from what look like mountain shapes but are in fact the same clasping cones that hold the seed pod to the vine.  Hence the Mother Goddess has long since been associated with the spiral as derived from the tendril.  Mesoamerican legend has it that long ago the Morning Glories used to be an “upright” plant, standing on its own stalk.  Can you see between the lines here?  “And the snake was cursed for deciving Eve, no longer could it stand upright.  Enmity was put between women and the serpent and its head was crushed…”
