The Immortality Key

I’m reading this now, and I think it’s right up your alley!
Ultimately the idea that Christianity’s early development included psychedelics as the Eucharist and was a derivation of the Eleusis Mystery initiation rites. If that doesn’t pique your interest without more, I’d be surprised.
He’s one of the last remaining “Classicists” – who has studied Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit academically. Couldn’t make money that way so he became a lawyer and worked on this book in his spare time for over a decade.
Also, he developed personal relationships with people like the Vatican Librarian, and has been able to review extremely rare documents and artifacts that almost no one has ever seen before. (He goes in to all this in chapter 1 I believe). He went to a Jesuit highschool, like myself, and I wonder If he was able to utilize his connections there to accomplish this. The Jesuit network is huge. Also, I think we share similar thoughts on the Catholic Church in general, and Brian certainly hasn’t “drunk the Kool-Aid.”
Lastly, he never took psychedelics, like you and I have, in order to maintain the academic/intellectual integrity of the work, so that his critics can’t denigrate him or his work as the ravings of a “druggie.”
He’s also done VICE, and several other major outlets.

Joe talked way too much, in my opinion, and didn’t read the book ahead of time, and I would love to have the master interviewer, i.e. Carlwood, do it right.
His website has his social media platforms.
