The story goes Eve took a bite of the fruit of knowledge. Why'd they chose an apple as representative metaphor? Never made much sense to me and much less once i had tripped myself. A pretty benign piece of fruit and not one that causes great gobs of divine knowledge when digested as far as my own experience is concerned. If I had to place a wager I'd say Eve was told to leave the fungus and maybe the little round segmented cacti alone. Prolly just wanted her to wait. A lack of patience and hallucinogens are recipe for chaos and disaster. Set and setting is key. And a loving and calm and wise guide is almost always highly recommended especially for the uninitiated.
Well... it just so happens there are christian chapels around the world where the story is exactly that and frescos are painted depicting Eve surrounded by mushrooms and/or very large ones that look exactly like Amanita. Who would've guessed? Oh yeah, any and everyone who's ever taken hallucinogens ever!
Disney corp won't allow you to put up murals of their characters at your kids day care. They'll threaten and sue the school. It happened right here in the little village of San Luis Obispo. (a mission town on the el camino trail of fucking tears that was the spanish cathlico genociding of a indigenous peoples)(a super churchy thing to do historically speaking, sorry Ishi!)
The church feels the same way about depicting truthful images on the walls of their places of business. Can't have the gentiles turning on and dropping out. Understanding is key to bullshit detection and the last thing any religion-for-profit leader, preacher or pope wants is for their flock to expand their minds, wake up and yell bullshit!
Which ironically enough is a great medium for growing mushrooms!🌈🍄☮️
Very much agreed!
I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying adam and eve took shrooms instead of an apple?
So it appears
Google it.
