moses was high
Posted on March 5, 2008
When you think you’ve heard it all … a RESEARCHER at Hebrew University of Jerusalem submits a study claiming Moses was high on psychotropic drugs when he received the ten commandments and saw the burning bush. Benny Shanon, a professor of cognitive psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem wrote in the Time and Mind journal of philosophy.
Later in the article we find the reason for his claim:
He mentioned his own experience when he used ayahuasca, a powerful psychotropic plant, during a religious ceremony in Brazil’s Amazon forest in 1991. “I experienced visions that had spiritual-religious connotations,” Shanon said.
Well, there you go. Here’s the article. The picture is from worth1000.com.
