Brian Muraresku's "The Immortality Key" investigates the hidden role of psychedelic substances in the origins of Western civilization and early Christianity. Muraresku uncovers evidence suggesting that ancient Greek mystery rites, particularly the Eleusinian Mysteries, involved the consumption of psychoactive brews, which induced profound spiritual experiences. The book argues that these altered states of consciousness were central to the religious practices of antiquity and that the suppression of such knowledge led to a significant shift in Western spirituality. It connects historical, archaeological, and scientific research to propose a radical reinterpretation of religious history and the human quest for transcendence.
Brian Meresco is the guy who wrote the immortality key. I don't know if you ever read any of his stuff, but a lot of it is about uh ancient uliss ancient Greece and the Illusinian mysteries. Psychedelics again.
