Psychedelics and the Spread of Early Christianity

Author Brian Murarescu, in his book 'The Immortality Key,' presents evidence of the role psychedelics played in the spread of early Christianity. He argues that ritual psychedelics were fairly central to the ancient Greek culture and were part of the practices at the Temple of Eleusis, where initiates would consume a magic potion called the kukiom. These rituals were communal events, and participants would experience visionary and beatific visions, fostering a sense of immortality and a new understanding of their place in the world. Murarescu suggests that psychedelics may have been a part of early Christianity, with the potential to transform the faith and provide a mystical experience of the divine.
