Sorcerers & Hallucinogens | A Biblical Perspective On Carlos Castaneda's Legacy
OPENING THE CRACK AND STEPPING INTO ANOTHER WORLD | CARLOS CASTANEDA
Hello and welcome to the Ancient wisdom modern mind podcast and in this audio I will investigate the original meaning of sorcerer in the Judeo-Christian context, so the original word as pharmakeia, “one that uses drugs” and not one that preforms magic or any of the modern ideas that surround the word sorcery.
Of course Hallucinogens and their use in spiritual rituals have been around for thousands of years and the modern spiritual movement’s use of Hallucinogens to achieve out of the body experiences is really no different than the divinations of the ancient Egyptians and Greeks.
So I believe that the true spiritual message or warning in the biblical revelations is that pharmakeia and those that sell or push drugs, no matter whether it is for divination or medical, they are the corrupt and lost souls that will try to pull you from your path.
