# 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,
