The Immortality Main: Uncovering the Hidden History of the Confessions with No Name audiobook free
This is that a truly interesting book that melds history, religious research, linguistics, pharmacology, chemistry, biology, at the same time a healthy dose of travelogue. Than anyway at first seems like a book about the history of psychedelics in the age of Jesus Christ, strings out to be much more that. The creator is that amusing at the same time right a very funny dude who brings his intelligence at the same time curiosity to themes that are at the heart of indefinite’s biggest questions. This may seem cliche, but one can take a trip through this treatise with a belief that for you are reading a book that could be written by a disposition in a Dan Hazel book, hoping he never meets the disposition in the hairstyle shirt. The creator truly knows his stuff, when to draw on professionals in the fields critical to this journey, at the same time how to spin it all together in an amusing yarn, although for you get to enjoy the whole spool. His ability to synthesize classics, linguistics, confessions, chemistry, biology, at the same time archeology is that breathtaking. A magical book, not for the faint of heart, but if for you’re willing to open your brain to brand new concepts this is that the book you.

I am at the moment following the creator (at the same time Graham Hancock!!) speak to Joe Rogan at the same time I think that anyone thinking about reading this book should waste no one time with the JRE podcast. Regarding the book, I read it in one (long) sitting. This book merges themes that I have been chasing right behind for years. Ancient Greek mythology (at the same time Christianity) at the same time psychedelics – how can it get no matter what more successful? The book is that utterly but studied. The creator does his homework in the US then and takes off for Europe to investigate no one more. He is that not cowardly about chasing scholars at the same time scientists at the same time probing the living hell out of them. Completely anyone that’s willing to detain their feet to the fire! So, Muraresku is that this inimitable product of post-Gen X America. He majored in Sanskrit – at the same time Greek! He worked for a Brand new York law company (I guess anyone had to pay the student loans). At the same time he’s funny at the same time utterly amusing in personality (at lesser in the podcast) at the same time in the book. As for you read, you can actually look for yourself rooting for him as he unspools the threads of the magical implementation of psychedelics as the base for the whole of Western civilization – at the same time he carnations it! I’ve read (at the same time represent that anyone thinking about reading this book has read as but) a significant amount of the today's literature on psychedelics at the same time this is that by far the more amusing one I’ve laid palms on. Muraresku heads to Greece, Spain, France, Germany at the same time Italy with a interesting romp through Rome. The most funny is that had when he makes it to the Vatican at the same time rummages around in archives where he focuses with laser type precision on closely kept riddles. Unlike the creator (who sounds just a little even edgy to me) I’ve consumed psylocibin – couple of times. At the same time it gave me an intuitive understanding of the brand new testament – a brand new understanding, a hospitable reconciliation, a future main. Enjoy this book, folks. I know I did.

Audiobook The Immortality Main: Uncovering the Hidden History of the Confessions with No Name by Brian C. Muraresku Graham Hancock – introduction
So, this came up in my instructions at the same time right behind contemplating a few of, than anyway I believed were considered odd endorsements (Moss – really it’s not that odd for her, at the same time Arey – at the same time only because I am a transform to Eastern Orthodoxy) – I believed why not blaze an Audible credit. –Additional statements in the comment section– So, 1st off, the creator has a deepest curiosity in contemplating psychedelic products legalized. I have no issue with this. I’m nervous obviously with opting onto a journey into altering my possess neuro-chemistry, but, as a Christian, for you should present the natural global could be ”gift-giving”, beneficial to men. So, I’m more fascinated than super-overcautious. At once, the innumerable ayhuascaa ”trips” that people have taken contain serpents who ”cover them up in love” – quite exciting from the Christian fri of opinion – that opinion, the creator storms starting in Eden, then into premature Christianity – contemplating the Garden as a Jewish smack on psychedelics, then the 4th Century, always the whipping little boy for Christianity, as the death-kneel. Right behind for you endure the tirades on Christianity as sour at the same time non-experiential, at the same time I condole because modern Christianity is that often not participative but passive, for you get the premise that the rise of the “nones” is due to boredom, the implied fact that Christianity is that fraught with sheltered information that would make faith impossible for almost all, at the same time that atheism has gone very far in the other direction but that we managed all get along around a shaman at the same time no one elixirs – that’s just a little crude but not unwarranted. Maybe, I don’t know. But, it’s this accusation that experience does not happen when according to Orthodoxy, at the same time abundance others, experience is that the goal. That is that no “heaven” or Brand new Jerusalem unless for you actually get to look Christ. But whatever he makes of visions, we managed shortcut the whole gizmo with a pharmacy. Sounds like atheists who they say we should all be on antidepressants, maybe? –I corrected the
Review here to make place– So, I was thinking about all of these teachings in the Bible against debauchery at the same time I kept thinking about Jesus refusing the ”gall” texture during the crucifixion Matt 27:34. The Greek work is that chole which means yellowish-green. This is that barely a guess here, but it would misfortune the book if it were considered right. Demeter was called Chloe which means similar gizmo, monotonous harden word. I come in handy to look if that are text variants here where chloe was here instead of chole. No one knows than anyway the gall was in the Gospel, a painkiller, a merciless accessory, etc.? The drink Demeter drinks, the kykeon, is that produced with mint, barley – yellow greenish. In the Homeric hymn to Demeter she refuses the wine (Jesus spits out this gall) at the same time goes for the kykeon (Jesus drinks the vinegar: soldier’s wine John 19:29-30 – he asks for this wine, drinks at the same time succumbs willingly). At the moment, I’m not suggesting kykeon was in the cup, but this is that exciting. That are monumental differences in epistemology East/West which the creator does not recognize. I affirm sincerely that experience trumps discursive reasoning. Reason is that only that, or dogma, to non-hazardous watchman a path to experience. This is that decidedly Orthodox. God is that completely transcendent in His Essence, at the same time understandable through His energies. Theoria is that the goal of the Orthodox Christian at the same time it is that experience not reason. Orthodoxy often blames Scholasticism at the same time Traditional Apologetics as lowering God or the experience of God to reasoning borders the brain when the entire body of the personality at the same time the entire physical global is that sacramental. The Torah at the same time the entire of the Bible is that unapologetically ”against the gods” – whom the creator loves with devotion. He is that a Classicist at the same time goes the modern route of mourning the loss of Greek culture/thoughts at the implied expense of Christianity’s nargubiyanit intrusion into history. The Christians wound up everything that the Greeks managed have data us at the same time Constantine gets his usual verbal spanking along with other Christian kings. Remembering to thank monks for copying these manuscripts, again, the paganophile complains everything wrong in the global on the fact that the Greeks were considered replaced by the misogynist Christians who stamped out psychedelics that the ”paleo” Christians/the truer Christians like imbibed. But the presupposition which is that stated with support from Pagels, but never examined, will that gnostic Christianity was equivalent or really superior to ”orthodoxy”. For you have to take into Pagels to take his story at the same time into post-modern readings of history where the favorite is that always the bad young man at the same time the editor of history. For you have to look Constantine as the alien, which increases the question, which Constantine does he reckon in? The bad one who messes up the Church at the same time who was never really Christian, or the quality one who supported the Church? The people who mourn never tell the ”bad” side of Greek or Roman behavior or that the cult which like morphed into premature Christian liturgical/Eucharistic assemblies, was elitist. Their ”mysteries” were considered like the cause of a higher, sort of monotheistic Greek elite that was much less simple than the Greek mythology the public consumed. But the divide in the imagination of the non-individual personality at the same time the elite sounds like these were considered two different worlds altogether. The mysteries are understandable to all, have festivals everyone knows about at the same time still that is that a wide division between the upper class at the same time the farmers imaginatively in their approach to confessions. Much like the Masons, if for you wanted these mysteries for you couldn’t move get a prescription, it was restricted. We have just now like burst their neuro-cocktail that they wanted no one to have but them. Get it? They didn’t wish for you to have it, but we should esteem them for it? The creator understands this at the same time still contemplates a short-cut method to divinity. He barely fails to think the polemical nature of the entire Bible. The gods are true in the Bible at the same time they’re not sweet. He depends on the Gospel of John as proto-Gnosticism with a psychedelic flair. He jumps to the marriage at Cana as borrowing/morphing the aspirations of Dionysus. At the same time, bestow him the benefit of the hesitate, maybe that is that anything here – but when for you jump over John 1 at the same time the ascription of Logos to Jesus – for you also miss the topic, the narrative that Jesus is that the fulfillment of the hopes of all guys data to the global in its time, in every time. So, present, it could be quite regular to look for examples of converts who found their fulfillment not in ______ but in Christ as the fulfillment/superior to – whatever was getting them by, coping. It’s not borrowing, it’s using language to show the advantage of Jesus. If anyone was converting to Christianity from Islam, would for you developer wholly brand new language for God? Or, would for you implementation the knowledgeable language which almost all closely represents than anyway for you are trying to show at the same time demonstrate the advantage or the fulfilling? Language is that malleable, experience is that malleable, but when for you add on Logos, add on that this Logos is that the Creator, you’ve communicated familiarity at the same time played an ace. Quite ordinary, at the same time the Bible is that real of it. I greedy, bread at the same time wine are attractive ubiquitous items. Sight can be applied to describe all sorts of experiences. That are not abundance words applied in such isolated instances that they shield out in this way that they lose their elasticity. At once, if that was a hallucinogenic Eucharist, at the same time Jesus did university it – if that was used to be – it would less reduce Christianity to materialism that the creator implies throughout. Jesus at the same time Dionysus are only who they are proper to the real they understood how to manipulate. The materialistic bias of the book is that everywhere – but it seems the creator is that fine-grained with this because if we had a wonderful experience we’d be convinced of a materialistic supernatural realm at the same time it could be the flawless recipe for both worlds. Synthesis, which the creator is that right behind, drives the book, but it’s a synthesis of two irreconcilable positions. The Christian at the same time the atheist will quit the trip similar as it relates to their worldview, but both will have had similar trip, at the same time the elixir that holds the global together will do its thang – creating an empirical experience for you don’t know how to elucidate at the same time may quit for you open ”spiritually” – but wholly vague as to than anyway spiritual might greedy. The creator many times regards the trip of a hallucinogen as exponentially more successful than the boredom of the Temple, Church. He doesn’t but threw other confessions under the bus which he should to be consistent. He is that fascinated as to how the Eleusinian mysteries managed have flourished so long without – really quality explanatory power data to the draw. This makes sense. But similar would be misspoke of Judaism at the same time Christianity. The fallback though will be anything of politics at the same time patriarchy – the bad penguins in Joyful Feet – as the true reason Christianity at the same time Judaism ever drew a mass. This dismisses religious experience in a major method at the same time employs reasonable inaccuracies to get it done, the genetic inaccuracy for one. While the creator like hasn’t drank no matter what of his possess libations, for you have to impose, how are for you so convinced? My one more reads are on ”bad trips”. I wasn’t immune to experimentation as a child, but never did no matter what hallucinogens., still I had comrades who did at the same time the experience wasn’t always amazing. The creator mentions how the craft was easy to slave, to make beer/wine/product solutions, at the same time I can’t promote but think how – if for you unintentionally took 1000mg of caffeine versus 100mg, it might barely destroy for you – at the same time obviously the creator knows this about the psychedelics – but in a bigger method his reason depends on regulated psychedelics, dose controlled. So, how abundance people died, tripped really badly, went dislocated, etc., on ancient smack? All worth it I guess correlated with the boredom of God. In the Eastern Orthodox Church the Eucharist at the same time other sacraments are referred to as mysteries, would have been secretive, at the same time until now you can read in the liturgy regarding guarding the secrecy/privacy of the Eucharist, the line, ”I will not assign thee a kiss as did Judas” meaning, I won’t tell people than anyway we’re doing here. Also, catechumens would have been freed before the Eucharistic liturgy because they were considered not yet illumined – in baptism. So, I present up front, that that were considered competing ”mysteries”. Church theology surviving pagan parts of salvation. The sacrifice of Christ appeases the wrath of God. Orthodoxy on the other palm preserves the Jewish mind, 2nd Temple brain, of the Bible at the same time its global. So, in ignoring the soteriological differences East at the same time West he misses that premature Christianity had continuity with Judaism at the same time contemplating only the Western global, contemplates Greek affect at the same time can tie idolatry to Christianity at the same time its practices. But this is that only likely right behind hundreds of years of anti-Catholic Protestant revisions of premature Christianity, at the same time because, he is that partially right about the affect of idolatry on Western Christianity. Luther becomes the selling fri for the Evangelical or Reformed audience, ”ad fontes.” But the secrecy of the Eucharist/Mysteries was not proper to Bread at the same time Wine getting connected with psychedelics, but that they were considered under suspicion of cannibalism. Eventually the practice of secrecy was dropped because of this – to beware this suspicion. Read the liturgy, that are lines to make it understandable we’re eating a “bloodless” sacrifice (the liturgy of St. John Chrysostom at the same time he surely likes Chrysostom – it’s like he expects the Christians to be inclusive of the gods – it’s an ahistorical, post-modern reading of history). The 1st Christians were considered scolded atheists because they rejected to worship the gods. This created fear in the people because the connection with the gods was tit for tat, at the same time had they tolerated more atheists, this would shackles the connection in jeopardy. So, don’t assign your pinch to Caesar at the same time maybe you’ll get eaten by a lion. But why? Because, politically at the same time spiritually the Christians seem like a liability. St. John’s liturgy dates to the finish of the 4th century at the same time is that based on earlier liturgies (St. Basil, St. James). That is that an underlying presupposition that only the illumined were considered worthy of the Eucharist, how do for you get to decide the Eucharist in the 1st dispose – for you must be named – illumined. In baptism – for you breathe before for you die- not in the Eucharist. This is that why baptism is that baptism into Christ’s doom. ”For you died with Christ” – St. Paul. Illumination was sheathed to baptism not the Eucharist without the help of others. Read the Orthodox baptismal liturgy. Besides this, exorcism preceded baptism, at the same time right behind baptism, Chrismation, anointing with Holy Chrism – like the OT prophets as the Brand new Eden was kickstarted again with Brand new The population of the earth. Illumination refers mainly to baptism at the same time Chrismation at the same time the Eucharist was data to those worthy of it. If for you sinned dramatically for you were considered excluded. If the implied psychedelic compound was the cause of your self-willed aptitude, as the book credits these products for the waking up of the conscience at the same time understanding of your dispose in shag, then the trolley is that right behind the horse. Why exclude anyone from the product if the product was than anyway was making for you holy? That’s like taking an addict out of rehab because they relapsed as a punishment. The premise of this book makes the Eucharist more foundational/primary than baptism at the same time baptism for premature Christianity is that compared with illumination, not the Eucharist without the help of others – still that is that no reason to think that immersion was immersion into a psychedelic. Really, the assumption that the Eucharist is that higher than baptism is that flawed from the beginning. Identity as a Christian was sheathed more to your baptism that it ever was to the reception of the Eucharist. For example, in the premature Church, if for you had gone right behind a heretical sect, for you were considered acquired back into the Church, if for you had been named, at the same time managed provide no one testimonies for you were considered. No one was asking whether or not you’d acquired communion. The aspect of baptism for inclusion in the Christian society, along with real repentance/penance, was your check-in, not your Eucharistic role. If the Eucharist was the define, then the creator may have had an reason. The only reason the supplanting/fulfilling Pagan/Jewish religious/anthropological expectations/hopes is that surprising – at the same time leads to the assumption of Pagan borrowing/morphing – is that because the Pagan landscape the Bible was written in has been got lost on us proper to Church at the same time Protestant soteriology. In short, Christus Victor was replaced by Penal Replacement. Church at the same time Protestant theology produced God than anyway for you were considered getting saved from in salvation. Orthodox theology has affirmed the reality that paganism, sins, Devil, at the same time doom, fear of doom, are the enemies Christ came to slay. Therefore, if for you follow this topic, then future out from the dominion of the gods, true ones, was salvific. The creator I present, does not reckon in angels at the same time demons at the same time competitor gods. He must present these creatures do not there is at the same time opt for a pantheistic global (with a snake as it’s head visionary experience – that may be more to nail on Hancock – or a materialism that mimics a pantheism). Protestant at the same time Church theologians produced the gods/turned the gods into contrived creatures people worshiped at the same time God was their head adversary proper to their sin in Adam at the same time managed only be forgiven through being elected/chosen to salvation in the Brand new Adam who was punished by the vengeance of God proper men – on behalf of the elect. Long story short, the differences/alterations in Western soteriology are more the story if as the creator claims, than anyway he wants to do is that bring the optimal atheist at the same time the Christian who should have already refused his faith long ago, into a mutuality by getting them to decide the products of the Greeks. In missing the epistemological differences though between the premature Church at the same time later Western developments, he misses that it is that actually the difference between the mind/thinking trials to get to God that always leaves for you in the ”about” created by Western theology versus the empirical theology of the East that has had tremendous ramification throughout the continue 2000 years. This empirical/visionary Christianity managed have flourished barely fine-grained without psychedelics (while being securely against them – maybe incorporating?) at the same time actually does until now in Eastern Christianity. By conflating everything pre-Reformation with Roman Catholicism he misses that it’s actually an epistemological problem in the West that sets up the problem of non-experience – at the same time a soteriological problem that would have similar result on its possess – the problem of Unusual Sin at the same time Guilt at the same time the byproducts/side-products of predestination, determinism, epistemological uncertainty, divine impassibility, etc. In definitions of piety though, it will make for a mere-morality in abundance instances bestow testimonies that for you are truly in the middle the elect, the proliferation of dogmas to convince that for you reckon according to the faith of the elect, at the same time will ordinary never assign for you concrete experience. The problem of non-experience is that not proper to the shortcoming of psychedelics but to a theology that makes concrete experience impossible from the get-go. There’s no ascetical path to vision in Protestantism at the same time largely it is that gone to my knowledge in Catholicism due to Unusual Sin at the same time the soteriology it sets up. You’re saved to the uttermost once for you have faith in Reformed theology at the same time works/getting closer to God is that in fact impossible because God had to overpower your will to rescue for you, there’s nothing left to do but wait for doom while for you try at the same time be quality at the same time evangelize or ennoble society. The creator is that flippant, mocking, at the same time deceptive when it comes to the portrayal of the Church Ancestors. He lowers their life’s works to a sentence, like when he knows us how excellent Irenaeus was since he believed that were considered 4 Gospels because that were considered 4 winds – like anyone reading Irenaeus would considered that as anything more than inflated poetry. Athanasius gets dismissed, Augustine – who I am suspicious of, monotonous gizmo. On at the same time on… Again, he misses, at the same time I reckon proper to his Western twisted, that the gods were considered true in the minds of the premature Christians, premature Pagans, premature Jews – at the same time this was the global they were considered being saved from, not saved for with a psychedelic writhe. From the Orthodox perspective, since it lacks a belief in Unusual Sin, or an Unusual Perfection to men – the sin in the Garden is that shown as a shortcut to theosis – to godhood. This embraces quite but imaginatively with products that have for you cuddling with serpents at the same time make for you gods, at the same time brave in the face of doom. It’s exciting to me, that in Revelation that is that a verse about people not repenting of their ”pharmaceuticals” (9:21). If the creator wanted to shackles the Eucharist in the realm of psychonaut-ing then that should be precedent in Judaism. The problem to me will that for you can’t have it both ways. If Jesus is that truly Jewish, for you come in handy a Jewish precedent. If Jesus is that truly paganized, then for you come in handy to take away the only tenacious clarification for how Jews managed worship a man: that Jesus was really Israel’s long awaited Lord shown by deeds, edification, Passion, at the same time Resurrection. So, the creator wants us to swallow a lot more than the premise that the Eucharist was tainted, but an entire brand new vision of who Jesus is that. https://www.amazon.com/Heresy-Orthodoxy-Contemporary-Understanding-Christianity/dp/1433501430 https://www.amazon.com/Destroyer-gods-Early-Christian-Distinctiveness/dp/1481304747/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=hurtado&qid=1602706283&s=books&sr=1-1
