Naked Man Said He Did hallucinogenic mushrooms With Jesus

[left-of-center2012]

JULY 16--After breaking into a Kentucky home, a naked man explained to police that he had “used mushrooms with Jesus and that they were playing a virtual reality video game together” before his apprehension, police say. While en route to a 911 call about a “male subject running down the roadway completely nude and hitting passing vehicles with his hands,” cops early today got a second call about a residential burglary in progress in the same Owensboro neighborhood.

Upon arriving at the home around 1:30 AM, officers encountered John Stefanopoulos “standing in the residence.” The 41-year-old Stefanopoulos--who does not live in the property--was “completely nude and had a substantial amount of blood and mud on his body.” When Stefanopoulos rushed cops after ignoring orders to get on the ground, he was tasered and handcuffed following a brief struggle.

The front door of the home where Stefanopoulos was found had been forced open and there were “holes punched in the drywall, blood smeared on several walls and windows of the residence, and several broken pieces of glass lying on the floor.”

It was after being read his rights that Stefanopoulos kept repeating that he used hallucinogenic mushrooms with Jesus, and that the duo had played a virtual reality video game. Stefanopoulos was arrested for an assortment of offenses, including indecent exposure, burglary, public intoxication, and menacing. Stefanopoulos was alone when apprehended.

Stefanopoulos works as a sales associate with an Owensboro realty firm, and he is also a licensed chiropractor.

7. How not to do mushrooms.

This is the irresponsible use and very adolescent and even psychically dangerous to the user.

Mushrooms, et al, are to be treated like a "sacrament", (all Jesus aside here) in the sense that one prepares carefully, gets information and guidance from the knowledgeable and experience prior to the experience. One usually has some goal or insight before hand, (peace, healing, mind expansion, etc.) if it is to be done in the most optimal and beneficial manner.

Set and setting are very important and having a "babysitter", (as we used to call it) shaman or guide is really advised, especially for a novice having an introduction to entheogens.

If we are going to free the "sacraments" from illegality, that will require better understanding and education with a strong emphasis on preparation. Otherwise, you get the socially problematic results across a wide spectrum which just put a negative bias on what can be profoundly healing and life-changing substances. Having a truly "spiritual" mushroom journey represents a world of difference from religious "ideas", beliefs, dogma, etc. It can be intimate, somatic, transformative, etc.

Usually, one does not keep rapidly taking it, but rather, a period of weeks or months should be allowed to elapse after a really deep experience with the goal of integrating it.

Recreational use is not necessarily bad and there are hedonistic enjoyments, but reckless use with these substances make them more risky and give the public the wrong impression. We need to come out of the Dark Ages and rediscover the psychological value of them.

14. The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross

Here you go.

Personally I recommend mushrooms without Jesus. The last time I ate psychically active mushrooms (or similar substance) was at a Dead concert in 1988 Oakland.
-------------------------------------------

The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross: A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity Within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East is a 1970 book about the linguistics of early Christianity and fertility cults in the Ancient Near East. It was written by John Marco Allegro (1923–1988)

cut

The book relates the development of language to the development of myths, religions, and cultic practices in world cultures. Allegro argues, through etymology, that the roots of Christianity, and many other religions, lay in fertility cults, and that cult practices, such as ingesting visionary plants to perceive the mind of God, persisted into the early Christian era, and to some unspecified extent into the 13th century with reoccurrences in the 18th century and mid-20th century, as he interprets the fresco of the Plaincourault Chapel to be an accurate depiction of the ritual ingestion of Amanita muscaria as the Eucharist. Allegro argued that Jesus never existed as a historical figure and was a mythological creation of early Christians under the influence of psychoactive mushroom extracts such as psilocybin.
