[edit] Entheogenic alkaloids

[edit] Terpenoid alkaloids

[edit] Tropane alkaloids

  • Cocaine (a non-entheogenic stimulant?)
    • Found in:

[edit] Indole alkaloids

[edit] Tryptamine alkaloids

  • Psilocybin
    • Found in:
      • Psilocybin mushrooms
        • "Psylocybe (117 soorten), Gymnopilus (13 soorten), Panaeolus (7 soorten), Copelandia (12 soorten), Hypholoma (6 soorten), Pluteus (6 soorten), Inocybe (6 soorten), Conocybe (4 soorten) en Agrocybe, Galerina en Mycena (ieder 1 soort). De Psylocybesoort is erg wijd verspreid, het overgrote deel ervan groeit in de subtropische vochtige bossen van Mexico en Nieuw Guinea. Mexico heeft het grootste aantal neurotropische paddestoelsoorten (76) waarvan er 44 tot de Psilocybe horen. Dit komt neer op 39% van het totale aantal op de wereld." [20]
  • N-Methyltryptamine ("NMT")
    • Found in:
      • "It is an alkaloid that has been found in the bark, shoots and leaves of several species of Virola, Acacia and Mimosa. It is found in numerous other plants, many of which also contain the entheogens DMT and 5-MeO-DMT. NMT is also synthetized by humans as a metabolic endproduct of tryptophan."
  • Bufotenin
    • Found in: "It is an alkaloid found in the skin of some species of toads; in mushrooms, higher plants, and mammals; and possibly in the brain, blood plasma, and urine of schizophrenics."

[edit] Ergoline alkaloids

  • Ergot (Fungus that infects grains of rye and related grasses.)
    • See also: History of LSD (Ergot contains similar chemicals as the synthesized LSD compound)
  • Ergine (LSA - d-Lysergic Acid Amide)
    • Found in:
      • Morning glory ("Ololiuhqui", "Rivera / Turbina carymbosa")
      • Argyreia nervosa ("Hawaiian Baby Woodrose", which are actually seeds originally imported from the Indian region) (See also: [21])

[edit] beta-Carboline alkaloids

  • Harmaline
    • Found in: Harmal ("Peganum harmala") (The seeds contain about 2-6% alkaloids, most of which is harmaline.)
  • Harmine
    • Found in: "Harmine is found in a wide variety of different organisms, most of which are plants. Shulgin (1997)[7] lists about thirty different species known to contain harmine, including seven species of butterfly in the Nymphalidae family. The harmine-containing plants listed include tobacco, two species of passion flower/passion fruit, and numerous others. In addition to B. caapi, at least three members of the Malpighiaceae contain harmine, including two more Banisteriopsis species and the plant Callaeum antifebrile. The Zygophyllaceae family, which harmal belongs to, contains at least two other harmine-bearing plants: Peganum nigellastrum and Zygophyllum fabago."

Psilocybe cubensis (Could this be the Manna of Exodus 16?)

[edit] Pharmacratic Inquisitions

Related to these 'priesthood' cultures is also the continuous prosecution of all natural/herbal cultures and its practitioners. From numerous genocides of indigenous cultures around the world, to the attacks on natural healthcare in Europe and the US. These conscious and wise people were stigmatized, tortured and killed for being: shamans, druids, gnostics, 'mystics', 'witches', or 'quacks' (See also: alchemy). The neurotic priesthood knew there should be none of these conscious people in societies, if they were to subversively take control of the people and their environment.

These days the Pharmacratic Inquisitions are still going strong to benefit the global toxic-medicine based pharmaceutical industry; using weak medical schooling, medical license systems, patent law, propaganda campaigns and important natural substance prohibitions (See also: Healthcare).

A highly controversial topic is the research which is showing that entheogen stimulated spiritual experiences seem to lie at the center of the main religions too. Though of course hidden, sometimes even in plain sight, and only allowed for a select group of initiates (See also: Entheogens). Most Christian people refuse to research and debate this topic, because it shows how much the true history behind early Christianity-like gnostic-shamanic cultures has been suppressed and perverted into different forms of mythology, idolatry and dogma. It shows how much all main religions have strayed from the path of nature, empirical spirituality, honesty and freedom. (todo: early Judaic/Christian cultures, racial/cultural prosecutions, DMT the endogenous entheogen)

Especially entheogen-aware cultures are treated as a huge threat to the (in many places) dominating 'Western' belief systems, political structures and egoistic/materialistic/mechanical thinking. (todo: expand, entheogen misunderstandings, entheogen abuse, suppression of science, medical conspiracy and vitalism, secretive agenda for mental and physical capability limiting media/neuro-drugs/foods)

"14th century painting from an alchemical text showing a man intoxicated on Amanita muscaria (?) mushrooms. He clutches one mushroom in his hand as he dances about holding his other hand to his forehead as if the reve­lation is too intense. Behind him a tree grows with a spotted mushroom for a top. A salamander or lizard floats upward parallel to the Amanita tree. Next to it another salamander roasts upon the fire in much the same way as the philosopher in the Book of Lambspring roasts a salamander on a fork in a fire." [15] (see also: "Book of Lambspring")

[edit] Religious text references

  • "Of course, the Bible does not teach against the use of herbs. In the book of Genesis, God declares that he has given humans "every herb bearing seed," and asserts that all of his creation is good. In the New Testament, Jesus never specifically addresses the use of marijuana, but his view on prohibition and purity seem to be summed up in Matthew 15:11: "It's not what goes into a man's mouth which defiles him," said Jesus, "but rather that which comes out of it." The apostle Paul also reinforces this idea in his writings. "Everything created by God is good," wrote Paul, "and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving." (1 Timothy, 4:4) In another book, Paul writes "I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but it is unclean for any one who thinks it unclean... For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." (Romans 14:14,17)" [23]
  • Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis), male & female (todo: sexuality, seduction, tensions, oppression, dicated roles, etc.), serpent symbolism:
    • "And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." "And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life" ... "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."
"Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; ... And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; ... And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; ... And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God. ... And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. 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 (red.: "a white or greyish-white colour.") frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man ... they gathered every man according to his eating. And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them. And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. ... This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. ... And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations. As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept."
