Dr. Carl Ruck and I begin our conversation discussing the book The Road to Eleusis, wherein “the classist” Dr. Ruck and coauthors R. Gordon Wasson, “the mycologist,” and Dr. Albert Hoffman, “the chemist,” released a controversial theory that psychoactive entheogenic sacramental ceremonies are often discovered at the root of many religious and spiritual traditions throughout history - and especially within the Greek Eleusinian Mystery tradition that lasted around 2000 years. Throughout the interview we explore subjects including classical sources, interpretation of ancient texts, religion and consciousness, entheogens and psychedelics, the political difficulty of the psychedelic sacrament, academia and censorship, drugs and cult ritual practices, the nature of myth, drugs and addiction, polyethnicity, myth and metaphor, consciousness, and our symbiotic relationship to the earth.
BIO:
Carl A.P. Ruck is an authority on the ecstatic rituals of the god Dionysus. With the ethno-mycologist R. Gordon Wasson and Albert Hofmann, he identified the secret psychoactive ingredient in the visionary potion that was drunk by the initiates at the Eleusinian Mystery. In Persephone’s Quest: Entheogens and the Origins of Religion, he proclaimed the centrality of psychoactive sacraments at the very beginnings of religion, employing the neologism “entheogen” to free the topic from the pejorative connotations for words like drug or hallucinogen.

Greek drama, Dionysian festivals and rituals, ancient Mystery religions, Orphism, Zoroaster, Mithraism, ancient Christian heretical sects, the role of entheogens in the evolution of human consciousness and religions, Mythology, secret sacraments in medieval and Renaissance art, ancient and medieval eschatology, fairy-tales and European folklore, secret societies and craft guilds, prehistoric rock art, Greek epigraphy, structural linguistics, Latin and Greek grammar, Mesoamerican shamanism.

“Poems of Passion” is a collection of poems by Ella Wheeler Wilcox that was published in 1883. Many may know her “Solitude” #67. Less celebrated is number 65 is titled “At Eleusis”. I, at Eleusis, saw the finest sight, When early morning's banners were unfurled. From high Olympus, gazing on the world, The ancient gods once saw it with delight. Sad Demeter had in a single night Removed her sombre garments! and mine eyes Beheld a 'broidered mantle in pale dyes Thrown o'er her throbbing bosom. Sweet and clear There fell the sound of music on mine ear. And from the South came Hermes, he whose lyre One time appeased the great Apollo's ire. The rescued maid, Persephone, by the hand He led to waiting Demeter, and cheer And light and beauty once more blessed the land.

Appreciate the effort you put into the show. I think Ruck has an amazing understanding of self and the world around him. I also think he has a huge set of balls for putting all the information public and has single-handedly taken on the church and what it stands for. In his case, the pen has been mightier than the sword has been for thousands of years.

I quit. The department was situated close by the Anglican Chaplaincy in a little retreat by the promising name of Mushroom Lane. So it goes, as Uncle Kurt Vonnegut used to say.

This is a Terrance McKenna quote from the talk "Touched by the Tremendum" given in New York City in 1990. The quote reads in full: "What the ancient authors said, what was practiced secretly at Eleusis was practiced openly at Knossos." I do not know what ancient authors McKenna was referring to but it's worth noting that his frame of reference included texts that may not be available in digitized form. Some of which were destroyed in his library of rare books which was lost in a fire. On a personal note I think what is so amazing about McLuhan's work isn't that he was versed in the history of psychedelic drugs, but rather that he was able to access a psychedelic perspective from studying the works of Joyce and medieval manuscript culture. It is, along with Jung, validation of the psychedelic experience from two brilliant thinkers who never took the drugs themselves.

Check out “The Body of Myth” by N. Samsonese . Incredible and life changing perspective . Myth as rooted in the body , our body. Very logical and in line with all that’s being said here. Also, you’re on the right track asking about the women’s role in all this. We’re now just scratching the surface of the enormous distortion that denigration of the Goddess has wrought. Starting with the deliberate smear campaign by the all male church, declaring priestess were prostitutes ( Mary Magdalene wants her reputation back !) , mistranslation of ancient texts , witch burning, etc. It’s a huge topic, but yes, the Feminine is the missing half of the equation. Jesus talking to the woman at the well is such a classic- the church spun it around her “ sinfulness”, what a bunch of crap. As if no man was a sinner? But the point was that he was talking to a Woman , the feminine in us, because that’s what is open to feeling, not attached to rational dogmas. The disciples were upset, that’s the ego protesting and disbelieving the Spirit. And on the word Spirit itself - look into the gender change it got from the Greek Sophia-Wisdom into the masculine Spiritus in Latin. We are living in a mental chaos caused by these false translations . The trinity was never all male , the Spirit was the Holy Ghost, Wisdom , what we now call Nature . Lift every rock and I Am there. Check out the incredible talks of Bill Donahue , all about dispelling the literalism of the church . Btw. literalism is what our “ disease” could be called. Alphabet replaced the right- brain perception of humanity , changed our entire being which we are now recovering thanks to the entheogens. Another great read on this topic is “The Alphabet and the Goddess”, so third- eye opening! And lastly- this is long, lol- please don’t apologize for saying what’s interesting to you ! That’s what our souls need most of all - expression of what our heart seeks . Thanks so much for these interviews, you’re doing a great service to the world .

@olasylvia1 Год назад

@@john.premose I don't believe you read my words carefully enough. I don't say anything about changing the word itself . I say that Christian church translated from a feminine greek word for "spirit" into a masculine latin "spiritus". Point being Spirit was understood as feminine before that, and the churcjh turned that into a masculine trinity, no room for the feminine. I would read a bit more carefully and maybe comment a bit less angrily.

@john.premose Год назад

@@olasylvia1 uh, the word spiritus is masculine in Latin. I actually studied Latin and you apparently did not. You do realize that not all Christians spoke Latin right? So the fact that spiritus is masculine in Latin has zero relevance outside the western church. There were and are Christians who use Greek, Coptic, Syriac, Armenia, Georgian, Russian, Amharic, Arabic and many other languages since ancient times. Therefore the gender of the word in Latin has absolutely zero relevance to all those people

What Jeff suggests is that there are a number of experiences that we all have access to and if an experiencer's worldview is further up the ladder to materialism then that worldview struggles to remain a stable worldview when an individual actually experiences exotic and previously unimaginable states of awareness.

@mandys1505 Год назад

It is good to ask , what is the self? In meditation, we can discern the difference between the watcher.... and the persona...the mind is producing thoughts which normally we identify as ourselves, the voice inside our head. But once we experience radical self doubt- we can think, am I the watcher, ami i the thoughts/the voice inside which is always going..... or am i my body, or what. And i suppose the awareness...and am all of those things. The Trinity is a captivating concept to me because it relates to this fundamental experience of the self and it's uncanniness. It's un-homelike-ness..... Also I have been paying attention to astrology and am interested in the tradition of doctors in the past, correlating their treatments and insights to astrological influence on our bodies and minds. Now that psychedellic drugs are accepted as valid topics of research in academia, i wonder if also now astrology will be brought back into the practice of medicine. In Ruck's book The Apples of Apollo, I was so disturbed at reading his idea that the serpent in the tree offering the fruit of knowlege was actually Christ- And that every serpent is the christ..... Sometimes when i listen to the works of the Gnsotics, i get upset in the same way. The imagistic power of the serpent in the tree is just mind blowing, you know... So when the primal image was turned inside out, i was deeply affected. I hope that you will consider interviewing him again

@@TheSacredSpeaks 💜🐣i think that both Freud and Heidegger wrote something about the unheimleikeit or the uncanny, unhomelike... i did just connect it with the placing or locusing of the self now watching your video...especially at one point when you asked- why was xtianity so catching or was it more resonating with the primal matter or the mind, more than the others? i'm an ex-catholic, too. And i miss certain things about being at mass: i always thought parts of it were mysterious and in their nature, speaking to the unanswerable. It's as if we are being asked a question and we answer it by this ritual...which seems profound but somewhat innocent and childish as well as that it is also childishly cryptic :) like..saying "peace to you" randomly shaking everyones hands around yourself at a certain point like 3/4 of the way thru the mass...and that was always a kind of chaos and a kind of thrill which was momentarily allowed and then immediateley repressed::::as mass then formulaically then proceeded. And saying, chanting , "Let us celebrate the mystery of Faith...." and then everyone responds, slowly and solemnly, "A-men..." 🖤🌅I love learning about these mystery cults, and i loved what Dr Ruck said about God being a form of our collevtive consciousness which we can choose to give a personhood to, but don't have to.... It changes things quite a bit because it deflates the excitement of enountering a personalized diety, i must admit!

Here something to think about, the words "He Knows Dope" played backwards says "Four Twenty", have you ever heard the phrase "go see so an so he has the dope on them", every 60 years the Dogon tribe celebrates the cycle of Sirius, the Dog Star, for 7 years, 60x7=420 and smoke a lot of weed, and Romans called Sirius Canicula; puppy dog when it rose with the sun, ending late August about the time the sun would begin to Rise in Virgo. A Babylonian star map show Sirius as a Rooster and like Venus called the Morning star. The sun just entered Virgo, the Virgin, another word for Rooster is Cock, your morning Star, In Irish mythology Orion would be Lugh, who traveled with his hound whelp (Puppy Dog). Sirius rolls with the 365.25 year and drops out of sight for 70 days, the Son of Lugh was called Setanta which means 70, Venus spends 35 weeks on each side of the sun, 35+35=70 and a week of weeks (7X7) behind the sun, Setanta became known as Cuchulain, Cu meaning a wolf or hound, Listen close to Setanta it sounds like Set-Dawn-Day, Setting Sun Dawn Sun High day Sun. here we have 70 minutes of twilight 35 min dusk&dawn, maybe later I'll show 7 in the cycles of the planets I use Say It Backwards, the words, Eyes See All I wolf I too Will Come in reverse it says Macula Lutea Fovea Eyes See All, and the words for Venus is Sin Eve, where have you have you heard that from, Every 20 years Jupiter & Saturn meet after 3 times (60 Yrs) they form a triangle. the words "Nudest Her The Beast" played backwards says Jupiter Saturn. If the Virgo the Virgin conceived she would give birth in Gemini the twins, Virgo is where you find the dog kennel about the breast of Virgo, was it not Romulus and Remus that, sucked the She-Wolf. Dr. Ruck may see Cuchulain as a wolf warrior, a quick search for "hound of Ulster" brings up many pages of Cuchulain and Son of the Hound of Ulster brings up McCullough and the Macalla, Irish for Echo, is Ah Welcome, Her Star will say Roger meaning famous spear. Earliest images of Jesus was a Donkey-headed man on a cross, Culo is slang for Ass, Norse mythology ass is a word for god. Was Cuchulain Jesus, many folks think so. Is Sagittarius riding a horse or Ass. They all Rule will echo Orion Her Message Say There Is A Guess will echo Sagittarius December, on the back of Pabilsag (Sagittarius) you see the guest, an Apkallu

Ehhh, the psychoactive drink theory doesn't explain a whole lot... the Greeks were very familiar with pharmakion (which included the use of such potions) and if that was the big secret, it wouldn't have lasted contact with the skeptics of the age, of which there were many, and whatever the ingredient (mushroom?) used if such were the case would've been published. I think people are underestimating the power of ritual and frankly, the forces that we don't fully understand... the PGM for example includes a few Mystery rites which might be comparable to those of Eleusis, clearly written by a learned initiate - and they don't obviously depend on any use of pharmakion for their perceived efficacy.

Great question. Look up the Sambia people of Papua New Guinea, an anthologist did an analysis of different cultures and sexual rites of passage. I'm glad this is not a modern practice for us. It's horrifying to consider. I've worked for many years with people who suffer sexual trauma, and we all need to become more aware of how pervasive these traumas are - both within the shadows of our organized religious traditions and also in traumatized family systems.

I might be misunderstanding this talk but IMO psychedelics are a wholly inferior mode of accessing the “real world”. Similar to spiritual bypassing, letting noobs enter into something that requires purification and diligence in ascending to God - it is just wholly inferior to what you can do on your own, without the aid of physical “plant medicines”. I might be wrong.

@cleosamantha Год назад

This connected to the lingering humanistic tendency of our culture. A culture so lacking in divine connection that thier only way of rationalising it is through requiring a physical “transporter”, aka psychedelics.

@thymeparzival Год назад

In the same way that an artist uses water colors to paint her imagination, the mystic uses plant medicines to explore the depths of her own mind. Hence the reason the word psychedelic means mind (psyche) revealing (delos).

@1:13:00 not was there a YesUs, but how many, and how many 'prophets of the holy water' had been 'crucified'. Socrates might have been one of those initiates of the mysteries that was 'crucified' for revealing too much about that wonderful initiation and 'gover-ments' never liked anyone releasing 'platonic cave slaves'...

Carl Ruck is a great interviewee 👍 But unfortunately your focus on psychotherapy of 'sick people' is not useful as these techniques should be used on some very psychology healthy people in our current dysfunctional society to return us to a truely healthy society. Healing the currently sick won't get us there!

1:00:55 More than a metaphor, a profound allegory > ""...Jesus Christ, i.e., the Man-God of the Christians copied from the Avatāras of every country, from the Hindu Krishna as well as the Egyptian Horus, was never a historical person. He is a deified personification of the glorified type of the great Hierophants of the Temples, and his story, as told in the New Testament, is an allegory, assuredly containing profound esoteric truths, but still an allegory. Every act of the Jesus of the New Testament, every word attributed to him, every event related of him during the three years of the mission he is said to have accomplished, rests on the programme of the Cycle of Initiation, a cycle founded on the Precession of the Equinoxes and the Signs of the Zodiac...."

@animalswin2105 Год назад

Talking about protecting Nature is not rejoicing with the Schwab cabal. Ecocide is not to do with carbon dioxide (which the cabal wants to use to control us entirely through the soon to come carbon pass or passport). We humans have directly destroyed many animal species and forests and polluted oceans and are making anything on or even under the surface completely radioactive, as if we are demons or being controlled by such. The fact that transhumanist elites are saying that the Earth is changing and we damaged the climate is just using the reality, truth and distorting it (the carbon joke) to get total control over humanity.

Much of what I hear is about Christianity. It would be interesting to hear your take on the founding of Islam. One well established fact is Mohammed going off to a cave alone for long periods and coming back with sayings he heard by "God". Many of these saying were later superseded by later sayings. Also, Mohammed had rather strange explanations of how the universe is organized and the use of things for medicinal purposes like camel urine, once again as explained to him by "God". I see Mohammed doing exactly the things you say, just less covered up.

@@TheSacredSpeaks The Spanish had an overreaction to the Muslim occupation and long years of rooting out people who believe their ideology gives them the right to lie about their faith until they have the upper hand in influence. Either way this movement was outside the authority of Rome and there is always corruption in a state that appoints their own bishops, as China does currently in defiance of Rome. If it is proven that people are involved in rituals that involve human blood there is generally and naturally going to be a visceral reaction to this. Exodus 22:18. The important detail is a fair trial and real evidence. Taking the worst examples of historical trials involving capital punishment doesn't disqualify every punishment involving crimes against humanity of the worst kind, which are offering innocents to Moloch. Things done in the dark for a reason. Imagining that society will someday change enough that it will tolerate such things is not realistic, since its breakdown will precede any such state. And any willful offering can never fully appease powers that can only mingle when the full spectrum of conflicting emotions vortex. That is why conscientious newcomers are brought in until they are useless in that they are totally lost as the others or become a liability because of their guilt. The sacred is not found in these circles, but only the profane. Its word, and light, is not welcome there. What could I possibly say to convince you that you have not seen the worst of it? And that you aren't going to change a thing about it, since the core of the occult always has its end in human blood mingled with lust, hatred, guilt and despair.
