THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE
The “Tree of Knowledge” was not an apple tree and was more than likely mushrooms. Mushrooms have been considered sacred for as far back as can be remembered and were the original Eucharist. So parishioners were getting a weekly dose of medicine that helped them adapt to their current situation. When the western world ignited the Industrial Revolution, populations grew, and although spirituality lost its way, missionary expansions, that pushed and punished into blind faith rather than attracting spiritual curiosities the salvation they instinctively pursued.
Within one or two generations we all but forgot about our relationship with the plants that helped us evolve so swiftly. Necessity sparked inspiration, which led to inventions to ease labor, reduce fatigue and an overall sense of drudgery. As we constructed larger buildings, societies developed, plants shifted from living entities deserving of reverence from us, into mass-market commodities, resulting in the severance of localized spiritual ties. We were constructing the modern world, Our relationship with sacred plants was old fashioned and forgotten, divorcing them from their ceremonial contexts, we systematically suppressed indigenous spiritual traditions and plant-medicine knowledge. Many sacred and psychoactive plants were demonized or outlawed. Science and Western Medicine made advancements that extended life expectancy well past age 35. Resuscitation from death became more common, along with Near Death Experiencers reported being “out of body” and interacting with deceased relatives, claims of an afterlife were consistent. We were the Masters of the Universe, and we had become god incarnate.
Controlling Societies 101: Make their religious practice illegal and ban their sacred plants, using fear and propaganda. This has been the same for millennia just ask a Native Americans who were ripped from their families and forced to speak English and learn the Bible out of fear and hatred instead of love and empathy. However people still found their way in challenging times.
The call could not be ignored completely, our DNA had imprinted learned expressions in our genetic makeup. For thousands of years, exposure to indigenous plants activated or silenced specific genes to favor survival. This allowed humans to build a cellular "memory" of which plants provide nourishment, healing, or psychoactive regulation. as epigenetic modulators. These plant molecules function as "switches" that turn on protective, anti-inflammatory, or neuroplastic genes, yet to control the masses, the powers at the time would demonize them and make them illegal when it’s literally in our DNA to quest for them and seek them out. Fortunately time is changing as we embark into a new psychedelic renaissance for the ages. The truth can only be suppressed by those afraid of it.
