The Immortality Key
Summary
The New York Times best seller As seen on The Joe Rogan Experience! This program includes a foreword written and read by Graham Hancock, the New York Times best-selling author of America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization. A groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization, and the real-life quest for the Holy Grail that could shake the Church to its foundations. The most influential religious historian of the 20th century, Huston Smith, once referred to it as the "best-kept secret" in history. Did the ancient Greeks use drugs to find God? And did the earliest Christians inherit the same secret tradition? A profound knowledge of visionary plants, herbs, and fungi passed from one generation to the next, ever since the Stone Age? There is zero archaeological evidence for the original Eucharist - the sacred wine said to guarantee life after death for those who drink the blood of Jesus. The Holy Grail and its miraculous contents have never been found. In the absence of any hard data, whatever happened at the Last Supper remains an article of faith for today’s 2.5 billion Christians. In an unprecedented search for real answers, The Immortality Key examines the archaic roots of the ritual that is performed every Sunday for nearly one third of the planet. Centuries in the making, religion and science converge to paint a radical picture of Christianity’s founding event - and to solve history’s greatest puzzle once and for all. Before the rise of Christianity, the ancient Greeks found salvation in their own sacraments. Sacred beverages were routinely consumed as part of the so-called Ancient Mysteries - elaborate rites that led initiates to the brink of death. Athens’ best and brightest flocked to the spiritual capital of Eleusis, where a holy beer unleashed heavenly visions for 2,000 years. Others drank the holy wine of Dionysus to become one with the god, achieving immortality. In the 1970s, renegade scholars claimed this beer and wine - the original sacraments of Western civilization - were spiked with mind-altering drugs. In recent years, vindication for the disgraced theory has been quietly mounting in the laboratory. The constantly advancing fields of archaeobotany and archaeochemistry have suggested the use of psychedelic drinks in antiquity. And with a single dose of psilocybin, the psycho-pharmacologists at Johns Hopkins and NYU are now turning self-proclaimed atheists into instant believers. If these sacraments survived for thousands of years in our remote prehistory, from the Stone Age to the ancient Greeks, did they also survive into the age of Jesus? Was the original Eucharist of Christianity, in fact, a psychedelic Eucharist? Is this the real secret behind the Holy Grail? With an unquenchable thirst for evidence, Muraresku tours the ruins of Greece with its government archaeologists. He gains access to the hidden collections of the Louvre Museum to show the continuity between pagan and Christian wine. He unravels the ancient Greek of the New Testament with the world’s most controversial priest. He spelunks into the catacombs under the streets of Rome to decipher the lost symbols of Christianity’s oldest monuments. He breaches the secret archives of the Vatican to unearth documents never before translated into English. And with leads from the archaeological chemists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania, he unveils the first hard data for the ritualistic use of psychedelic drugs in antiquity. The Immortality Key reconstructs a suppressed history of women consecrating the forbidden, drugged Eucharist that was later banned by the Church Fathers. Women who were later targeted as witches during the Inquisition, when Europe’s sacred pharmacology largely disappeared. If the scientists of today have resurrected this technology, then Christianity is dead. Unless it returns to its roots. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press

Self Esteem Improvement: Learn How to Be Confident Again & Achieve Stress Reduction, Self Respect, & Self Confidence
Summary
Chronically low self-esteem seems to be one of the biggest reasons for people of all ages to be unable to reach their potential. No matter what advantages or disadvantages they are given in life, people who have a poor view of themselves tend to stay stuck and are unable to move forward with confidence. Are you one of those people? Whether or not things seem to be going your way, you are sure that catastrophe is just around the corner. Or maybe you just find it hard to make good, positive choices, because you do not see how they will benefit you. If either one of those descriptions remotely fit you, you are probably one of the many people dealing with poor self-esteem. At its core, poor self-esteem is an issue of identity. Lack of self-confidence has less to do with your own abilities and talents than it has to do with how you see yourself and your own worth and value. Self-doubt, insecurity, and lack of confidence in one's own self seems to be reaching epidemic proportions in modern society. More often than not, the reason is not that people are not accomplished in what they do but that they see that the problem is their own selves, who they are. We live in a world in which we are flooded with messages from a myriad of people, many of whom we have never even met. In subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle ways, the message that reaches our ears is that we are insignificant and not valuable. The opinions of other people can be deafening, but the message that they send is clear. Your parents and other family members may believe that you aren't good enough and do not measure up. Your boss may believe that you're not worth the promotion. However, in the world of self-esteem, there is only one person whose opinion matters: yours. This audiobook is about helping you understand how your self-esteem is influenced by your own sense of identity. It will help you see some of the core ways that low self-esteem impacts your quality of life, including impeding your ability to make good choices, keeping you stuck in negative thought patterns, and causing you to sabotage your own goals for your life. It will also help you uncover some of the root reasons why you have poor self-esteem so that you can begin to overcome them. Finally, it will give you practical advice for improving your self-esteem so that you can be an emotionally healthy and confident person. This audiobook contains multiple case studies to help elucidate the themes of each chapter and provide a way for you to connect with the material. If you want to start to raise your self-esteem to a healthy level, then this audiobook book is definitely for you. ©VG LTD
