| Highlife Magazine, 1997 Reprinted in The Tea Party Gazette, 1997 "Did Sir wish some nourishment? Perhaps Modom would like some.. Based on information received, I'm rapidly getting lost in one of the most fascinating pieces of historical drug research you could ever imagine, stoned or not! Early spadework research makes it nearly certain that the Jewish religion is based on centuries of psylocybin mushroom eating by the whole tribe (called "Manna"), that at other times it was confined to a hierarchy of specially initiated "priests" (ie circumcised!), and that the Jewish Holy of Holy, the very Ark of the Covenant itself, was a golden pot in which were placed the sacred mushrooms! It's all in the Bible, with no alternative explanation ever even offered! Manna first appeared one early morning after the Hebrews had been wandering the Desert of Sin (I kid you not) for 6 weeks out of Egypt. "And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground." Exodus 16.14 Appearance? Light browny colour. "Coriander seed white". Exodus 13.21 Morning dew going up? Mushrooms come up after sun and rain. Small round things scattered around like hoar frost? Which seemed to just appear overnight? Hmmm.... Whereupon God announced, through the shaman Moses: "This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat." And he warns them that Manna is a test which will "prove them, whether they will walk in my law or no." Exodus 16.4 Anyway, according to the Bible, the Hebrews continued eating 6 litres of fresh mushrooms every day! For 40 years! On God's instructions! No wonder History has recorded them as the "Children of God" and "The Chosen Race". "Beyond the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, having a golden censer and the Ark of the Covenant... In the Ark was a golden pot containing the manna." Hebrews 9.3 Magic mushrooms, "Food of the Gods" in many cultures, turn bluish when broken, suggesting the blueness of the sky. They also have no roots, again suggesting extra-terrestrial origin. "Gather of it every man, according to his eating, an omer for every man." Dried, this makes about 8 grams of powder! As with psilocybin mushrooms, the shaman also warned them not to try to keep them overnight: "Let no man leave of it till the morning." Some tried, "and it bred worms and stank" (Exodus 16.20) Just what freshly picked mushrooms do. "But they "boiled it in a pot" to make tea (Exodus) "And the people ground it in mills, and baked cakes of it, and the taste was as the taste of fresh oil." (Numbers 11.9) Or: "the taste thereof like to flour with honey." (Exodus 16.31) (Historically, in many, if not all cultures, dried mushrooms were often preserved in honey, from which mead was later derived.) What does that mean? Most religions start with a dope-toting shaman whose "teaching" later gets hijacked by "priests". But why circumcision? And how did Moses know about the mushrooms? Had there originally been a secret band of initiates, 'marked,' so as to recognise each other? After all, what does a circumcised dick look like? Not forgetting that the manna was stored "beyond the second veil." And did such initiates continue after this? Or is the Angel Food still in the pot? I think we should be told! More research is needed here. Get to it, you elite band of dick heads! |
