In an attempt to understand the religious roots of humanity, and the search for the ever illusive higher states of consciousness expressed by the writings of nearly every traditional system of belief throughout human history; James Arthur will explore Religious art, symbolism, myth, tradition,folklore, and history dealing with magical plants and sacramental substances that have been attributed with properties that expand consciousness, create high mystical states, and as tradition indicates allow the initiates through plant induced extacy to have communion with the Gods of this world.
Theoretical Stargates, multi-dimensional consciousness, life beyond death, the near death expeience (whether self induced or accidental) and how the human mind is allowed access to the realms of the Gods will take on new meaning once symbolic literature and artworks have been deciphered and their hidden meanings revealed. The states of consciousness have been held in the highest realms of secrecy for thousands of years by heirachical orders and secret societies untill the fullness of times.Links will be made throughout Christianity, Secret Societies, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Gnosticism, Mithraism, Ancient Sumeria, and Egypt to name just a few. The same symbolism will be tied together throughout each of the worlds religious systems showing that there is a commonality running throughout each of them that holds the secret to the Multi-dimensional, Consciousness expansion and shifting of humanities spiritual being into a light-body that is the desired outcome of all those who search for understanding of themselves and what we can consider God.
Only through piecing together the hints and symbolism of each tradition can the full understanding and importance of humanity's connection with the plant kindoms be fully understood, the stargate can be opened and humanity's inevitable evolutionary process can be understood and thereby accelerated. The Egyptian mystery initiations will conclude this discussion and for the first time in millennia the sacred "God making ceremony" will be revealed in its fullness.
This discussion is important for even those who have no interest in plant entheogens for if nothing else the understanding of the symbolism and metamorphosis of the Christmas holiday, which is celebrated in one form or another all over the world, and transcends religious systems and beliefs,is one of the most amazing dissertations that anyone can experience. It is not less than amazing that millions of people all over the world follow traditions with origins that they have no understanding of. You will see the personification of Santa Claus, reindeer, trees, ornaments, hearths, presents and the fundamentality of the golden rule in a new light that will change your perception of this seasonal celebration forever.
