![Jesus Thumbnail.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmR612Ui8fAjY824tkMSaMFMqyK4HsxED8XTj6Lc4Hv8CL/Jesus%20Thumbnail.jpg) When we hear the name of [Jesus Christ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus), we commonly believe that He was a physical man, or that He never existed at all in the first place.

But that was not the case for Mr. [John Marco Allegro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_M._Allegro). He believed that the name Jesus was a **metaphor** for the Psilocybin containing mushrooms, largely known today as [Magic Mushrooms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom). But I'll let you hear that from Mr. Allegro himself. Check out this **[short clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN-bURgoxPY)**. Normally we can discard such claims by calling out **"CRAZY"** whoever makes such a statement. But the story is deeper than that. Mr. Allegro was **chosen** to be one of the first people to translate the [Dead Sea Scrolls](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea_Scrolls) manuscripts, which to him told a story of a Sect of people who have created the image of a **Savior** out of their **individual experiences** of ingesting a highly potent **Psychedelic** such as the [Magic Mushrooms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom).

Mr. Allegro was a renown **scholar** and **Archaeologist** and the only one that worked on the translation of the [Dead Sea Scrolls](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea_Scrolls) who didn't have a religious background. So he was in a **perfect position** to give us a **objective interpretation** of those very Scrolls. If you'd like to explore the idea further **for yourself**, make sure to check out [this 5:37 long video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEmNIz08gis) which presents religious pictures with the Sacred Mushroom within them. There is also this interesting documentary about the [Dead Sea Scrolls Cover Up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRixkHH56_A&t=289s). As weird as this idea can seem to anyone hearing it for the first time, I have given this idea very much thought after I had my own experiences with this Psilocybin containing Mushrooms. ## Jesus the Mushroom \ \

When it comes to Jesus as a **metaphor** regarding the Psilocybin Mushroom experience, we have to find if there are common **Ideas**, **Teachings** and **Realizations** that take place under the influence of [Jesus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom). And only then we can come to an **acceptable conclusion** on whether the interpretation might resemble Reality or not. Fortunately for us, there is already a list which contain the most **common cognitive effects of psilocybin mushrooms**, or what we would call Jesus in our case. I will go on explaining what some of this cognitive effects mean for me after my own **101** Jesus experiences. **Cognitive Effects of the Psilocybin Mushrooms:** * **Emotion enhancement**: - Jesus boosts you by being inside you, so your feelings are extremely intense. * **Enhancement and suppression cycles**: - Jesus makes you experience the duality of our current Human existence. * **Language Suppression**: - When you are in the presence of Jesus, or more accurately when He is INside, you ought to stay silent and Listen. * **Addiction suppression**: - Law number one – “You shall have no other gods before Me”. * **Analysis enhancement**: - Jesus makes you pay attention to what’s happening through the intensity of the experience. * **Catharsis**: - Jesus forgives. * **Cognitive euphoria**: - An intense feeling of well being while Jesus is inside of you seem logical enough to me. * **Confusion**: - Handling the experience is not easy for someone not ready to experience those states, be them positive or negative. * **Creativity enhancement**: - Would you expect anything less from Jesus? * **Delusions**: - You have to experience them in order to understand that they are there. So then you may work on moving past them. * **Déjà vu**: - Within you lies all the glory of God, you just have to Remember. * **Ego Replacement**: - “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” [Oscar Wilde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Wilde) * **Empathy, Love, and sociability enhancement**: - Basically “Love your neighbor as yourself”. * **Existential self-realization**: - Within all the other people that we are at the same time, in different circumstances, there is an actual own Self. Find him. * **Feelings of eternalism**: - “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another”. [Albert Einstein](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein) * **Feelings of impending doom**: - Jesus might warn you of bad outcomes if a certain behavior pattern points you towards that. * **Feelings of interdependent opposites**: - Opposites are the two extremes of a Single Force. Duality is an illusion. * **Feelings of self-design**: - “We are what our thoughts have made us.” Swami Vivekananda * **Immersion enhancement**: - Jesus makes you experience the potential of undisturbed Focus, in whatever you’re doing. * **Increased music appreciation**: - Jesus loves music. * **Memory suppression, Ego Death**: - When all the subconscious programs fade away, what we truly are is revealed, Awareness. * **Mindfulness**: - Jesus shows you a way of looking at your own reality tunnel and recognize it for what it is. * **Personal bias suppression**: - Look at the world as it is, not as you filter it to be. * **Rejuvenation**: - With Jesus inside, you are born anew. * **Spirituality enhancement**: - Jesus is viewed as a Spiritual Being, it is only natural. * **Subconscious communication**: - Jesus is within, He communicates, you better Listen. * **Thought connectivity**: - Jesus shows us the potential of our Mind. * **Thought organization**: - Priorities are to be assigned to the many wants and needs that we have. * **Time Distortion**: - If you’re curious about how long Jesus lasts, well, be ready to experience Infinity. * **Unity and Interconnectedness**: - Internal world and External world are the extremes of the Self. * **Wakefulness**: - Become Aware of your Awareness. Since I cannot find the source for this Psilocybin cognitive effects anymore, I'll post the screenshot I took when I first found the list. Check it out **[here](http://imgur.com/7TlCUEj)**. # Personal Experiences These seem to be the **most common symptoms** that are experienced under the **influence** of **Jesus the Mushroom**. But they are still experiences of other people, and we cannot change our own Life based on that, so I went on and had my own Jesus experiences, which I perceive to have **changed my life for the better**. I will just give the personal titles I’ve come up with for each Jesus experience, without writing too much on each of them. And if anyone is interested, I will make a future video where I explain each experience in more details, as much as Language can provide, which is not enough to give you the slightest Idea of how the experience **FEELS**. * **I was made to experience a part of the Divine power within**. * **My Human vehicle of experience felt like getting rebooted**. * **I came to a more personal understanding of how I’m the programmer of my subconscious behavior.** * **I was made to “walk” through the inner philosophical depression which plagued my daily life, releasing me from some of it.** * **I felt very intensely the Need and Want to become a better Brother, Son, Friend, Lover and Human Being in general.** * **I was told (without Words) and have deeply FELT that everything is “OK” and it’s perfect exactly as it is, no matter of what scenario I would present to the Divine presence I was feeling around and inside me, supposedly Jesus.** After each of this **most intense experiences**, there was **contemplation time** given to each of them, and each experience was sought with the intention of **learning more about myself**, with **given respect** to the Teacher, which in our case is **Jesus**. The respect of the experience comes without a doubt once one experiences its **intensity**. I believe that **it’s irrelevant** to argue over which **reality tunnel** is real, Jesus the Man or Jesus the Mushroom. What I think to be **important** is to **understand and apply** what He had, and still has, to teach us, which is to **“Love your neighbor as Yourself”**. ![GoldenRule-2-720409.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbpGpVi3bwjiFoXNXtWkSsCJEyYmrcnnF1iL7qeqDzUgt/GoldenRule-2-720409.jpg) [source](http://pstgabrielpeter.blogspot.it/2016/06/he-golden-rule-matthew-712-so-in.html) ## THANKS Thank you for reading!
