Hello everybody and welcome back to Revolutionary Left Radio.

I have a really special guest for you today.

It is Brian C. Murr-Rescoop, the author of the In Mortality Key, The Secret History of

the Religion with No Name.

Brian's work is really fascinating.

It's a deep dive into ancient history and it makes these fascinating connections between

early psychedelic use in ancient Greece, for example, and its connection to the rise

of early Christianity.

So we talk about that history, the immense amount of research and scientific investigation

that went into this book.

We also use it as a jumping off board to talk about the sort of psychedelic renaissance

happening in popular culture today, especially within science and medical departments at universities

of the connection between formal institutional religion and mysticism.

We discuss the view of Jesus as a possible mystic, which is something I've always been

interested in and I've wanted to talk about.

So a whole, you know, smorgasbord of fascinating things are discussed in this episode.

Brian is a really engaging, down-to-earth human being and is really fun to talk to.

So I really hope that you enjoy this episode.

And if you do, definitely check out the book, The Immortality Key, because we can only

scratch the surface of the depths that the book itself goes into.
