The Psychedelic Gospels: by Jerry B. Brown Ph.D. Julie M. Brown M.A.

Discover the Secret History of Hallucinogens in Christianity

"The Psychedelic Gospels" by Jerry B. Brown Ph.D. and Julie M. Brown M.A. is an eye-opening journey that explores the role of visionary plants in Christianity. Uncover the stunning evidence of psychedelics in medieval art and biblical scripture that has been hiding in plain sight for centuries.

The authors embark on an anthropological adventure, visiting European and Middle Eastern churches, including Roslyn Chapel and Chartres Cathedral. With color photos, they show the visual evidence of psychedelics in Christianity, including sacred mushroom images in religious works of art.

The authors retrace the pioneering research of R. Gordon Wasson on psychedelics in ancient Greece, India, and other cultures. But, they challenge his legacy by revealing his secret relationship with the Vatican that led to his refusal to explore the role of psychedelics in Christianity.

Examining the Bible and the Gnostic Gospels, the authors show that sacred mushrooms were the catalyst for Jesus's awakening to his divinity and immortality. They contend that the Trees of Knowledge and of Immortality in Eden were sacred mushrooms, providing scriptural support for the role of visionary plants in the origins of Judeo-Christianity.

Uncovering the role of visionary plants in Christianity, "The Psychedelic Gospels" invites you to rethink what you know about the life of Jesus and to consider a controversial theory that challenges you to explore these sacred pathways to the divine.
