Hello friends, welcome back. My guest today is Brian Murerescu, lawyer and author, and we're talking

about the psychedelic origins of Western civilization. The mysteries of the ancient world are just

getting stranger and stranger. Did Plato and Marcus Aralius and thousands more attend a secret psychedelic

ceremony which formed the basis for the Christian sacrament? So today, expect to learn why an annual

parade finished with a secret ceremony in ancient Greece. Why the Christians may have wanted to

keep this a secret? What it was like to research in the Vatican's secret archives, the implications

if all this is true and much more. This is like real life downbrownship. That actually is secret

enjoy this. It's just a fascinating cool story and if you enjoy it, the book is a good read as well.
