I'm not surprised, June. In the year and a half I've been subscribed to
CTRL our opinions have rarely agreed on any subject (beginning with
your 'Sons of Liberty' fallacies).
Further, this mushroom/manna info I've been posting is not based on *my*
personal opinions, but the scholarly research of other, much more competent
and reputable individuals. Consider that John Marco Allegro, one of the
worlds leading philologists, put his neck on the line as one of a team of
researchers hired by the State of Israel and the British government to
decipher the "Dead Sea Scrolls" after they were discovered in the 1950's.
Allegro was hired because he was a biblical scholar and familiar with
nearly every major ancient language (Sumerian, Egyptian, Hebrew, Cuneiform,
etc.). His ultimate *objective*, linguistic conclusions caused him to be
kicked off the research team. Allegro had linguistically found a link of
synonyms and wordplay for the hidden identity of the mushroom throughout
the "Dead Sea Scrolls" and Bible (in Sumerian Manna = Mushroom). After
being kicked off the team he wrote, "The Sacred Mushroom And The Cross",
and fearlessly attempted to expose the reality of the mushroom symbolism
throughout the Bible, Apocryphal writings, and The Dead Sea Scrolls. The
current research of James Arthur reveals
<http://www.sirius.com/~holy/mushroom.html>:
Even though it was the linguistic links that first brought this to light,
it was the understanding of the symbolism that drove it home. Once you know
where to look, and that was well revealed in the writings of Allegro,
deciphering the mythologies unfolds into a whole new level of
comprehension.
The Manna the Israelites ate in the desert is presently defined as a
question. It is not ordinary for a word describing bread to be thought of
in this context. Manna is defined in this way: (Manna="What is it?") a
Biblical description of this mystical substance will toss the reader some
clues.
1) Manna was a small round thing that appeared on the ground after the
dew had fallen.
2) If it was left to the warmth of day it would breed worms and stink.
3) Manna was thought of as being produced miraculously (IE: birth without
seed). This is a perfect botanical description of a mushroom. Birth without
seed (miraculous) is due to spores being microscopic and not visible to the
naked eye.
The Mannas are described in detail by Jesus in the book of John. In this
story Jesus attempts to make clear; of manna, there are two different
ones/kinds. He describes the manna that he is giving the deciples (last
supper) as the Manna that bestows immortality. His statement, unless you
have eaten his flesh/body (Soma/Manna), and drink of his blood (Soma
Juice), you have no life in you, takes on a whole new meaning in light of
this discovery.
The Manna is directly associated with the fruit of the Tree of Life in
the 2nd chapter of the book of Revelation. It is the reward for those who
overcome (the lies of the world). The "Fruit of the Tree", the "Hidden
Manna" and the "Small White Stone" are spoken of separately, but in the
same context....

Many questions should be asked about this cosmopolitan idea of the
"Sacramental Substance". Unfortunately, the religious experts shun the
notion, insisting that the entire idea is nothing more than symbolic. A
symbol points at something else, not usually at another symbology. The
Catholic church, in the early 1100's, decided to have the final word on
this subject by establishing (under Emperor/Pope Innocent III) the
"Doctrine of Trans-Substantiation". This it whereby, the Priests, by their
assumed holy power, claim to be able to say some magical words, and turn
ordinary bread into the literal "Body of God". This event is one of the
biggest evil deceptions of all time, is an undermining of the basic
esoteric aspects of the religion, and is, arguably, the most horrible and
damning event to ever happen to Christendom, and as such the entire human
race. Jesus clearly describes the Manna that he calls his body in the book
of John. Repeatedly describing the "Thing/Manna" as a substance hidden from
the world, but revealed to his disciples. Understanding the last supper
story becomes as simplistic as it gets, if you know how to decipher the
event. Adamantly; Jesus says, "Take and eat, This is my Body". This is the
TRANSFORMATIONAL and MAGNIFICENT event. By intentional misrepresentation
(by self appointed or politically correct AUTHORITIES) it has been stripped
down to rhetorical run around and ridiculous dogmatic interpretation by
enthusiastic religious stumbling-block-throwers.
The Bible, as we have it today, should not be regarded as a historical
document. This is not to say that it is not very interesting, but it must
be read keeping in mind that it is a re-translation, of a re-translation,
of a re-translation, of an initially altered plagiarism. The book itself
(viewed in light of the possibility of what could have been) is a complex
document that must have required some pretty intelligent minds to conceive.
It is this complexity which so overwhelms those of limited intellect that
it convinces many that it could only have been written by the hand (or
direct inspiration) of God. Yet the Bible pales drastically in comparison
to the thousands of Hindu or Buddhist writings in complexity and substance.
Most who read it never know this because they are instructed to steer clear
of any other religious writings, lest they become deceived. Those who
become "completely blown away" by the conceptualization of what it must
have taken to write such a document have never seen or attempted to really
look at anything else similarly complex. Therefore, they have no point of
reference, other than their own intellect, and the one book they believe to
be the only true word of God. There is enough written there to speculate in
awe, what those who wrote it were all about. Meaning; had we been there, at
that time (6000 years ago), to read the original text (Cuneiform), and were
reading it in our own native language, AND had been partakers of the
heavenly gift (the mushroom), it must have been an incredible thing indeed.
It is important to note, just briefly, that the concepts and doctrines
which specifically referred to reincarnation in Biblical texts were
extricated from the cannon by ecumenical council. This is another
corruption which has obscured the understanding of life in general for all
those believers who will never know this happened.

This also describe an ANOINTING (Greek; Chrisma) (close to Christmas
again). We go right back again to the special holy substance endowing one
with the gift of the holy spirit, the door, the comforter, which will dwell
with you, and will be in you. The comforter (it says) the world does not
see, or know, but those specially gifted (whom Jesus is speaking to) know,
and see, and will have it inside of them. The Manna, the door, the
comforter which will teach those who know. Even to the point they have no
need to be taught by anyone. And this, of course, would mean that there is
no need for the intercessory function of a priest.
Here again we see that those who know have no need for a church, pastor,
prophet, or authority figure here on earth as they have direct communion.
Consider the Manna (bread) that comes down from heaven, and see if it
becomes a little more clear. Especially in regards to this being a
synonymous (one and the same) substance that is inside of you. This part
expressly stating that you should take and eat.
John 6-27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which
endureth unto everlasting life, which the son of man shall give unto you;
for him hath God the father sealed.
John 6-31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He
gave them bread from heaven to eat.
John 6-32 Then Jesus said unto them, verily verily I say unto you, Moses
gave you not that bread from heaven; but my father giveth you the true
bread from heaven.
John 6-34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
John 6-35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life.
John 6-41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread
that came down from heaven.
John 6-43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among
yourselves.
John 6-48 I am that bread of life.
John 6-56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me,
and I in him.
John 7-38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture has said, out of his
belly shall flow rivers of living water.
I will deal with the rivers of living water that will flow out of the
bellies of those that eat the Manna later (Hinduism, Buddhism), prepare
yourselves for more need to break the taboos and conditioning that bind
you. The meat, the manna, the door, the comforter, the bread, the living
waters, the blood, are all synonymous for that which will dwell with you,
and you will put "in" you, which will teach you all things through direct
communion. For those who ascribe to the "OFFICIAL" accepted explanation:
namely that Jesus alone is the substance, and that everything else is
merely symbolic for him, in the next part we will explore the book of
Revelation, where (as in John) it says that the world does not see, because
it does not know, as opposed to those who know, and see, and will have it
in them. Something that the world does not know, because it does not see,
is certainly "Hidden" as in the "Hidden Manna".
Rev 2-7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
Churches; to him that overcometh will i give to eat of the tree of life,
which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Rev 2-17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit sait unto the
Churches; to him that overcometh will i give to eat of the hidden manna,
and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which
no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Manna, as it has already been expressed, in ancient tongue (which this
was translated from) means mushroom. It has also been explained that the
mushroom is the fruit of the tree of life. In the next chapter it will be
shown that the mushroom is also referred to as a small white stone. The
mushroom, the manna, the white stone, the comforter, the door which you
will have in you which you can enter in and out of, which will show you all
things.
James 2-14 What doth it profit, my bretheren, though a man say he have
faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?
James 2-15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
James 2-16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and
filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to
the body; What doth it profit?
The things which are needful to the body, if we follow the thread of this
discourse, are that which will be in you. The door, comforter, manna,
blood, bread, stone, works (being tangible). It can be argued that all is
well and that the body needs nothing. Yet there seems to be direct
discrepancy to this supposition.
John 6-53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily verily I say unto you, Except
ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in
you.
John 6-5 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6-55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
John 6-56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me,
and I in him.
This is saying pretty clearly that the eating and drinking is physical.
My body is flesh indeed, and my blood is drink indeed, and the added
statement that when you eat, it is inside of you leaves little room for
debate that this is a substance, not a phantom symbol alone. For those who
choose to debate this I ask that they show me their substance because
according to Jesus' words unless you eat and drink of "IT" you have no life
in you. By the way, do I really need to mention that this is not some
strange reference to Cannibalism? I sure hope not, if you still think this,
read on. Somewhere, some of this MUST convince you that he is not saying to
take a bite out of his arm, or any other piece of his actual anatomy.

Note: There are TWO Mannas, the one the Israelites ate in the desert, and
the "Hidden Manna". The "Hidden Manna" is the typical RED variety of the
Amanita muscaria, the single most written about and mystically symbolized
mushroom throughout history; which played a major role in the formulation
of nearly every world religion and world mythology. While psilocybin
mushroom fit nearly exactly the descriptions of the manna Israelites ate in
the wilderness.

Thus why it was mixed with the only preservative they knew of -- honey --
and the reason why it associated with honey.
When Terence McKenna described the African mead cults he wrote, "Here's the
scenario: (over time) ...the drying continues. The mushroom becomes less
plentiful. It becomes localized. It becomes seasonal. The mushroom
festivals become further and further apart. Eventually this is recognized;
there is an anxiety to preserve the mushroom. The obvious strategy then is
to put it into honey. But honey itself has the capacity to turn into a
psychoactive substance, mead, a crude alcohol. So what begins as a mushroom
cult, through a sincere effort to preserve the mushroom cult, turns into a
mead cult a few thousand years later."
> and it disappeared once the sun got fairly high in the sky...
And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning (16:19).
Notwithstanding they harkened 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(16.20). And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his
eating. and when the sun waxed hot it melted...(16:21).
Anyone familiar with wild mushrooms knows that they go bad very quickly and
shrivel up under the heat of the sun, exactly like manna. If it was left to
the warmth of day it would breed worms and stink.

THE ANCIENT WORSHIP OF A MUSHROOM (containing a powerful Hallucinogenic
Drug) was the basis for nearly all of the Ancient Religions, of which
Judaism and Christianity were no exception! First discovered by John M.
Allegro (The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross) THE MANNA OF HEAVEN reveals the
"Cryptic Method" used to conceal the Mushroom for nearly 3,000 years! By
revealing "The Ritual" of these worshippers and how it is expressed in both
the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as the Old and New Testaments, answers can
now be given as to: THE TEACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE WICKED PRIEST, THE
MAN OF THE LIE, THE LION OF WRATH, THE KITTIM, as well as the "real"
meaning of the "War Scroll" and the book of "Revelation". The Author
Shockingly reveals the Mushroom Worship not only in I and II MACCABEES, but
also how it is expressed throughout the works of the great Jewish Historian
Flavius Josephus in his "ANTIQUITIES" and "THE WAR OF THE JEWS"! There are
many, many shocking revelations revealed in this book!
