0.4 gram micro dose and some drawing and doodling. I wasnt concerned abouy the result but more the feeling and expression involved. The feeling of the pen. What happens if I hold it tighter? What happens with these colours? What happens if I do this with the pen. Just creating and exploring and expressing like a child might.
This is the Sanskrit word Vinaya meaning something like discipline.

You're but hurt cos he blocked you and has thoughts about free speech that you don't like. Blocking you has no effect on your free speech on a decentralized protocol. Maybe he blocked you cos you're kinda a duck to have to deal with. Freedom of speech doesn't mean people have to listen to you be rude to them.
Freedom of speech doesnt mean he has to listen.
From our interactions so far I think you assume Christ Consciousness and the historical figure Jesus Christ are the same thing or that the man embodied the consciousness (compassion, love etc) but that is a trick of the organized institutions around the bible ie The Church.
The consciousness isn't being called into question by Hillman or myself but the man is. When Hillman critiques the man you think he is critiquing Consciousness as well. This doesn't fit with your experience of the world (and mine) and so you think Hillman is incorrect. But he is only critiquing the historical figure. The long list you have there I think can be mostly explained by separating the consciousness from the man, as is appropriate, and using historical documents, written in Ancient Greek from various Roman and Greek sources.
Now, a document of 2,000 years isn't necessarily fact because it exists, as you rightly point out but you can use science and logic to understand which ones have more validity from a historical context. There is science in the technicality of the language and also in the pharmacology that could be analyzed to understand which documents could be considered genuine and which fabricated.
For example, The Septuagint. The Church says this is translation FROM Hebrew TO Greek but Hillman claims the opposite. He says it is actually FROM Greek TO Hebrew and provably so in his opinion based on 30 years as a Philologist.
I'm not trying to use credentialism there to say 'trust him' I'm saying he is qualified to make that assessment but it does need verification by others in the field.
An example of how there is a measurable science in the technicality of the language is, in Hillmans words, that The Septuagint has more semantic meaning in it at a technical language level of the words themselves. There is more meaning in them that there is in the Hebrew words. This is because Greek is a more complex language that Hebrew and has more ability to convey meaning. In addition to that there is Pharmacology that could be verified by modern chemistry.
Hebrew has only 8,000 approx words and Greek 500,000 (estimates vary) so we can say Greek is much more complex at least. The question then becomes, what are the chances that The Hebrew -> Greek translation, as The Church claims, managed to add much more semantic meaning AND also keep the pharmacology (which is verifiable by modern chemists) in tact when the Hebrew version did not have this meaning (and technically couldn't support it) and pharmacology in it in a technical sense? Low I would say, very low.
All of that is to say - we don't need to rely on an ancient document and play ancient 'he said, she said'. That isn't what's available here. What is available is a testable and measurable scientific analysis of the texts at a technical language level and at a pharmacological level to confirm if what Hillmans says is accurate.
Now, currently Hillman is the only modern person saying these things (although Origen of Alexandria and Jeremy Bentham have said some similar things historically) and hardly anyone is qualified to also translate the Greek at his level to confirm.
So, how do we verify what he is claiming? In time people will catch up with his translating. The texts he's translating do not just require Ancient Greek knowledge but also medical knowledge and people with both are very very few and far between.
But in part you can see already that what he's translating is accurate based on separate analysis of The Bes Cup which has breast milk and vaginal fluid in it. So we actually do have confirmation now without waiting that what he's saying is at least partially accurate.
In addition, there is more archaeological finds which support what he is translating is accurate from Spain. For eg hair analysis of Bronze Age (3k+ years ago) shows
"The results furnish direct evidence of the consumption of plant drugs and, more interestingly, they reveal the use of multiple psychoactive species."
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-31064-2
Hillmans claim, based on the translations he made, is that medical women of bronze age kept toxins they made in their which seems to be confirmed by this Spanish find.
So, all of that is to say, there is plenty of factual based science that can, has and will be done to verify his claims.
Note, none of this removes the connection we can have to Christ Consciousness. It just means The Church lied to everyone for millennia (!) about the historical figure Jesus Christ and that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone tbh.
Sometimes we get triggered when something close to us is spoken about in the ways he does. To have an issue with it is probabaly normal but I think you know our emotional reaction has little to do with facts and science and this issue should be able to be figured out with scientific method alone. Like I said in my original post... it will likely take years to get to the bottom of with hard evidence. I'll post more as I get it.
"One of them was that all prophets take drugs because it's the only way you could see things. This is purposely lying or just being ignorant."
I think he's a bit lose with his words sometimes and has an odd personality but yeah 'the only way' is probably too strong if he did say that. I wouldn't be surprised if he did but if thats all that you can see wrong with it (its early I know) then I'd forgive him that.
Some areas to keep an eye on I've noticed that area separate but seem to confirm or partly support his claims are:
1. Bes Cup which contains apparently breast milk and vaginal mucus on top of psychotropic plant substances as he claims he learned from translations of Greek Texts.
2. Translation (not by him) of previously untranslated texts from Herculaneum Library buried during Vesuvius eruption. This is an ongoing work of 800 scrolls but first word translated was 'purple' which could mean there is info on this as used in these ceremonies as he claims.
3. 'The Purple' (die with possible psychedelic properties from Mediterranean Mollusk) apparently found in Roman Bathhouse in England.
I hesitated to share this at first, but I think it's best to know what's lurking out there. I can't stress enough how important preparation is before you dabble into the sacred texts and, ultimately, experiencing for yourself what Jesus Christ talked about. Knowing the old languages is not enough for understanding its spirit or the reality of what happened thousands of years ago. Take everything with a grain of salt. Good morning!
I think the concept of 'christ consciousness' vs 'christ the historical figure' is important here. I don't think Hillman would disagree with Christ Consciousness as a divine experience people can and do have.
I think he'd disagree more with the historical record of Jesus the man as expressed through Roman era Greek Texts of which he is an expert on as well as the medical nature of those texts.
Specifically by authors like "Galen" ie Marcus Aurelius' physician and prolific medical write whose texts were used up until 1800s or so as far as I understand. It's these texts which when translated by him (some confirmation from someone else would be nice) tell you what a 'Christ' is as a specific medical term. Also, what an 'Anti-Christ' is. Think 'Dotes' and 'Anti-Dotes' instead of the modern Christian view of these terms. He's saying these are drug terms used by physicians of the era and even into Bronze Age Greece.
In Addition to all that what he's talking about should be verifiable by pharmacologists. If he's lying or translated them poorly it could be easily figured out by someone with Chemistry and Toxicology knowledge. No Greek required. Thats what I'd like to see. The closest I've found is his interview with Hamilton Morris but even his expertise may not be enough.
This is a very very nuanced topic and kudos to you for delving into it as you have but it will take years for it to be resolved either way. I'd suggest everyone just put a pin in it and save judgment for later.
Yup, he was on 3 times. I find his other interviews to be better though. He's an odd character and it's hard to parse the info from his behaviour sometimes. I like this one better

And this one I'm yet to watch but think focuses more on the drugs themselves as it's woth Hamilton Morris. I'll try listen to this today.

Although tbh his own youtube channel has the best info. Search Lady Babylon on YT. A lot of content there.
Yes agreed preparation in great detail is key. The tools of the trade ie the psychedelic compounds are only half the game.
Lots of nuance here hard to describe in full but yeah I agree with you in part. Part of the issue is these things can be used in multiple and many ways. I certainly have a connection outside of psychedelic use also and don't mean those connections are less valuable but also I think you'd be surprised by the uses of psychedelics according to Greek sources. Much more than we understand today and much more complex compounds. Check out Hillman you may be surprised. I was.
Just gotta wait for the printers to come on which seems to vary from cycle to cycle but it's coming. 10 trillion in 2025.
Beware unsolicited info dump!🫣
You'll get a layer deeper sure but not all the way. For that you would need to go back to medieval Europe and Italy where banking families first started hiding behind Jewish people after The Pope outlawed Christians from Usury ie lending for financial gain. This would be 11th century Venice Italy or thereabouts and look at the various factions vying for power.
Even this will not lead you directly to the source. The ultimate source is spiritual in nature. Moloch etc as based on the particular Astrological forces at play during our particular time or Yuga as the Vedics said.
