I love this comment from TIHKAL:

(with 250 mg, orally) "I was seeing the Light real strongly. The Light sort of looked like bright bursts of Light but also like a kind of Spiritual Tunnel, and it seemed at one point, along with that, I saw a Human form, but the Vision seemed like I was sort of inside the Being and outside, and the Human was inside me and appeared to be outside, but I didn't see the being's face or clearly see the various limbs because the Being seemed to be the tunnel of Light that I was inside in the Vision, and seemed much larger than me. As King Jesus said: (St. John 6,56) 'Whoever eats my Flesh and drinks my Blood lives in me and I live in them'."

The mystic or shamanic tradition, I think, would have a legitimate claim to practice protected by religious ancestral heritage no matter the ethic origin of the practitioner. The substantive endemic commonality being the states of consciousness achieved through the ingestion of these substances.
Why doesn't the individually inspired worship receive the status of protected religious practice?

Hey! How did you get in here without ID?!

dope: realistic answer: because institutions have power.

 

Just something to back up my previous statement, here is one of their holy scriptures..

The Serpent
If our gospel does not penetrate the veil, then the veil is on those who are not on the way to salvation; the unbelievers whose minds the god of this world has blinded to stop them from seeing the Light shed by the Good News of the glory of Christ...(2 Corinthians, 4, 3)
Yahweh, the Psychedelic, (God), is the Tree of Knowledge.
It was the Serpent's mission to open the eyes of the "blind". This blindness was not a blindness to physical light, but a blindness to the Light of the Spirit - the Light of the Psychedelic. This Light was seen by eating the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Christ was the Serpent, and opening the eyes of the blind to their spiritual nakedness was good.
As was written in Revelations (3, 17): You say to yourself, "I am rich, I have made a fortune, and have everything I want", never realizing that you are wretchedly and pitiably poor, and blind and naked too. I warn you, buy from me the gold that has been tested in the fire to make you really rich, and white robes to clothe you and cover your shameful nakedness, and eye ointment to put on your eyes so that you are able to see.
The above part from Revelations makes it clear that, just like Eve and Adam, the people were spiritually naked but didn't know it and weren't ashamed. But this is said to not be a good way to be, and being ashamed and aware of (eyes opened to) this nakedness was said to be good.
That is why Jesus compared Himself to the Serpent (St. John, 3, 13): ...and the Son of Man must be lifted up as Moses lifted up the Serpent in the desert, so that everyone who believes may have eternal Life in Him.
St. Paul shows this same thing in 1 Corinthians 15, 45: As there is a flesh body, so there is a spiritual body. Thus it is written, "The first man, Adam, became living flesh , the last Adam a life-giving Spirit"; but the flesh, not the spiritual, comes first, and only then the spiritual. Man the first is from the earth, material; Man the second is from heaven. As man the material is, so are the material; as Man the heavenly is, so are the heavenly.
Or as Christ said again in St. John chapter 3, (just before the part about that He must be lifted up as was the Serpent), ...what is born of the flesh is flesh; what is born of the Spirit is Spirit. Do not be surprised when I say: You must be born from above.
There were 2 Adams: one evil and one good. The world thinks that the good one was the 1st one - before eating from the Tree of Knowledge - the one who was spiritually naked, but blind to his nakedness and not ashamed.
But St. Paul says that the 1st Adam was flesh and not Spirit.
St. Paul is obviously completely disagreeing with the way most "religious scholars" today think - it was the 2nd Adam - the one who had eaten from the Tree - who was called "Heavenly".
Many of the "Christians" today claim that when they eat (or drink) their communion substance, (alcohol or wheat) they see the "Light" and receive the "Holy Spirit". If you ask them if they actually saw a Light or heard a Spirit, they say "no". They think they have the clothing of the Spirit but are actually naked. They would be (or should be) ashamed if they saw the real Light and true Holy Spirit. Then they would realize their nakedness.
As the prophet Isaiah said, (5, 20): Woe to those who call good evil, and call evil good, who make out darkness to be light, light to be darkness.

 

Is it realistic or real? They deny me nothing because I haven't asked their permission. I think however there are grounds to "incorporate" the shamanic tradition as a legitimate feature of our culture. It is a "legal" right that forever eludes the heterodox, whether they be minority race, or lesser gender, or flakey occultist.

I think the legal incorporation of shamanic practitioners would represent defacto evidence of established religion and be worthy of protected sacrament.
Perhaps the government could be litigated on the basis that they had made our god illegal. Such a legal campaign is not something I advocate. I personally advocate consensual resonance as opposed to "rule of law".
