FREE
INTERNET & RADIO SHOW Thursday night!
Hi
friends,
I'm writing
to let you know I will be appearing on the Coast To Coast AM Radio (Often
referred to as the Art Bell Show) show with George Noory on Thursday night
December 11th from 11PM to 3AM. The show actually starts at 10PM Pacific but
they do an hour of preliminary stuff for the first hour. The show can be found
all up and down the AM radio dial all across the country (over 500 stations) so
you can listen for free (check their website for channels in your area). The
topics will include Christmas, Mushrooms, Astrotheology, Symbolism,
Archaeoastronomy and more of that good stuff. Plus there is something
incredible that will be unveiled in the last hour so don't fall asleep! Please
tune in and Merry Christmas / Happy Solstice to you all.
Most High
Regards, James Arthur

By the
way, if you can't catch it live they have something called STREAMLINK where you
can listen to the show for the next three months at your convenience and this
service only runs 15 cents a day. Plus there are some very important and
relevant shows to listen to that happened recently and will tie into the big
revelation I referred to above. Listen to the show with Len Horowitz and the
show with John Rappoport in the archives.

Mushrooms
and Mankind: The Impact of Mushrooms on Human Consciousness and Religion
by James
Arthur
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1585091510
Ranking:
28,212 (very popular)
Wide-ranging,
informal, suggestive
The
visionary James Arthur is the opposite of the careful and straightlaced Dan
Merkur in the field of the entheogen theory of the origins of religion. This book is so wide-ranging, it's hard to
form a clear mental picture of its scope.
Arthur has innovative coverage speculating about entheogens in Egyptian
and Asian as well as Christian religion.
This
subject is just getting started so there are few books and what few there are
are speculative. The entheogen theory
of the origin of religions *makes sense*, particularly when focusing on the
specifically religious aspect of religion rather than other aspects such as
political, ethical, or sociological aspects.
Scholars,
including esoteric and Literalist Christian scholars, agree that entheogenic
plants are basically reliable triggers for religious experiencing. Historians of religion are trying to use
"psychology", "anthropology", and "sociology" to
explain the origin of religions. These
explanatory threads point to entheogens at the fountainhead of religion,
religious experiencing, and religious myth.
This book
provides some evidence but most of all provides the all-important *perspective*
from which we can see how well it makes good sense to look to entheogens for
the origin of mystic experiencing at the root of religion. There's really no reasonable argument
against the entheogen theory of the origin of religion -- it enables a
full-spectrum, integral-theory explanation of religion to finally come
together.

>>I
am, and have been, working with the best selling author Jack Herer on a new
project since February 2003. Jack has been studying psychoactive mushrooms
since he discovered John Allegro's book "The Sacred Mushroom and The
Cross" in the 1980's.

-- excerpts:
The
Religious and Political Conspiracies Against Cannabis -- In this presentation
legendary author and activist Jack Herer will expound upon his personal views
regarding religious and governmental repression of Cannabis and the facts
surrounding the most wonderful plant on our planet. Other surprises can be
expected from the "Man of the Century" regarding recent events of
interest to humanity. Recent laws and events since 911 have attacked the rights
of citizens and threaten personal liberty as well as undermine the work of
activists. These attacks upon personal freedoms can not be allowed to stand. A
new era is emerging in regards to plants and human rights that incorporates
religious as well as personal freedoms and this resurgence of knowledge from
the past is the real focus of the attack behind the prohibition movements and
moralistic dictates of the current administration. It is time to increase our
efforts now in order to preserve freedom.
Hidden
Knowledge and the Conspiracy Against the Psychedelic Mind -- This multi-media
presentation by James Arthur explores the usage of Plant Psychedelics
throughout history exposing related secret religious/occult symbolic knowledge
reserved exclusively for initiates. This gave birth to the greatest conspiracy
in human history, the "Conspiracy Against the Psychedelic Mind".
Connections will be examined between brain chemistry and the associated anatomy
and substances naturally occurring in sacramental plants. A return to religious
origins replaces misguided Morals and Dogma ushering in the Age of
Enlightenment. The knowledge that these plants were and are used for religious
purposes completely demolishes the "Pharmacratic Inquisition" and the
related "War on Drugs". This presentation introduces new information
in the new book by Jack Herer and James Arthur titled "The Most
High".
Among
other entheogenic topics, Arthur speculates that the scriptural "control
of buying and selling" in Revelation refers to pharmaceutical regulations;
the professionalization of access to drugs -- that's an interesting comparison.
