Psychedelics in the Torah

~a journey through the past, present and future of the greatest mystery of history~

Only after I had already dedicated my life towards acquiring farmland in Israel and searching for the 10 Tribes was I informed that my family has its roots carved from the Vilna Gaon, Rabbi Eliyahu Kramer. The Vilna Gaon was quoted as saying that if only he could just eat from fruit of the land of Israel. As well, his students penned a letter to the Lost Tribes of Israel in search of them, which can be found on Sefaria in English/Hebrew. Lastly, the Vilna Gaon taught that in the future the sciences and the spiritually will merge. This writing is an attempt to make that future now. Feel free to contact me anytime at [email protected] or 646.330.9211 - All feedback is appreciated, thank you.

DISCLAIMER - This manuscript contains references to psychedelic plants and chemicals. In no way shape or form does the author suggest or approve usage of such substances in any setting outside of approved medical usage in areas where it is legal. This manuscript does not suggest that in order to become holy or do something holy one must consume such substances.

Additionally, one may never enter the Klipa on purpose, as we see with the false messianic movement hundreds of years ago, where the spiritual leaders were entering the klipot on purpose via sin in order to redeem holy lost sparks. (Most of these terms will make much more sense at the end of this read) Rather, we must be like Yosef the righteous, who did not enter the pit voluntarily to do a spiritual rectification, rather, he was thrown into it. To all those reading this that already find themselves stuck in the klippot, by all means, there are holy rectifications you can do once there, and it is upon you to strengthen yourself in the ways of our ancestors and purify yourself in order that you can be a proper recipient for the hidden light.

Part I - Science and the Torah

There has been an ancient legend amongst the people of Israel – that one day all the sciences in the world, and all the spiritual teachings of the world will merge and become one narrative. This manuscript is an attempt to lay out certain understandings that will complement this legend. The transmission of the Torah of Moses until today has worked in a blockchain style format, creating a trustworthy ledger of teachings from Sinai to our Sages and through modern times..

Why is the blockchain such a trusted source of stored information?

The mechanisms of the blockchain revolve around a global decentralized network of individuals who review and approve a specific transaction that was executed. No one person owns the network and no one person can fake a transaction. Once the network of citizens approves the transaction, that transaction is stored on what is called a block, and once that block is filled with data, another block is formed, creating a chain of blocks of information that the gatekeepers of the blockchain agree has happened. Once the information makes it into a block, it can never be taken off, or deleted, or manipulated by anyone. It is a peer approved decentralized transaction that gets stored in history and can never be altered going back in time. However, going forward, the network functions on consensus of the people. So too has the transmission of Torah unfolded. What was once taught by Moses and then the sages can never be altered, but it is the will of the people to embody those teachings as a way of life.

Today, there needs to be a majority consensus amongst the Jewish people on the application of the law and nuances that change based on the changing times and location of the Jewish people. If we are referencing a sage of Israel in this work, it means that those teachings were peer approved on a global level across a 2,000 year period of time, and adopted as part of the transmission of the Mosaic teachings.

We are going to begin this manuscript with the Creation Narrative of the Torah. Before doing that we will quickly address those that find skepticism in a Creation Ex-Nihilo scenario, and a world dating back 5780 years. At the outset, there are two main scenarios that can reconcile two seemingly different realities.

Firstly, let's look at the order of the Creation Narrative-

• The First Day On the first day, G‑d said, “Let there be Light” — and there was Light

• The Second Day On the second day G‑d made the sky, and called it Heaven

• The Third Day On the third day, G‑d put the earth into good shape

• The Fourth Day On the fourth day, G‑d made the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars, to shed light upon the earth. And so He set a time for day

• The Fifth Day On the fifth day, G‑d filled the seas and the skies with life

• The Sixth Day On the sixth day, were created all the other animals, large and small, and towards the end of the sixth day, G‑d put a divine soul into a body which He made of earth and clay. This was the human.

• The Seventh Day By the seventh day, everything was created and put into shape and order. And G‑d rested on the seventh day and He glorified it as a day of rest.

Notice how the Sun and Moon, the celestial bodies that we use to calculate our days and times, don’t come into existence until the fourth day. When we think of a day we think of something that is 24 hours, because that is how long it takes for the Earth to rotate around the sun. Have you ever thought of how long a Biblical day was where a sun and a moon were not in existence yet? For all we know this ‘day’ may have billions of years. In that case, what we are really saying when we say we are in the year 5780, is that there are 5780 years that have transpired since Adam, since the birth of consciousness in humanity. This syncs up pretty well with modern day science.

To quote an official Berkley University report-

There are other theories to align the Torah timeline with Science, such as Dr. Gerald Schroeder’s ‘Theory on the Relativity of Time’.

Now let us focus on the starting point of this Creation Narrative, G-D speaking this world into being.

Firstly, let us examine the scientific view of the nature of reality. As quoted from the Scientific American –

“ Over the past decade, we have developed a “resonance theory of consciousness” that suggests that resonance—another word for synchronized vibrations—is at the heart of not only human consciousness but of physical reality more generally.”

Science says that this universe is continuously vibrating, and if the vibration stops, we all poof into nothing. We can see this being evident in the nature of the smallest breakdown of reality, the atom. The atom is made up of a nucleus in the center and electrons flying around it at high speeds. The nature of the electron is that its exact location is never known and its path unpredictable. The distance between the electron and the center of the nucleus is 99.9~ percent open space. So we ask the question, if we are made up of something that is mostly nothing, how are we something. The answer is that the speed of the moving electron creates a solid entity. An analogy to understand this would be to look at a helicopter: when the blade motor is off the four blades of the copter are made up of mostly empty space in-between each. When the blade motor is on, one couldn’t stick a finger through without quickly losing his or her arm, The blades are as if a spinning, uber-sharp solid wall. So, we see the concept of empty space becoming solid via fast movement.

It’s interesting to note that from the Torah side of information we say that GD spoke and this world came into being. Even more so we teach that GD continuously upkeeps this world through his speech. Speech is nothing more than the vibration of your vocal cords. Vibration creates sound. So we see that we are attesting the creation of the world to the product of a vibration, a continuous vibration that if it stops, this world poofs into nothing, sounds a lot like the scientific view as well. To complement this viewpoint, we see the Hebrew word for speak, Daber, is the same three lettered word for thing – Davar DALED BET REISH. As the Hebrew Alef Bet works, every nuance is trying to teach us something. Here we are learning that indeed, speech created, and creates, constantly and continuously, things/matter.

String theory typically describes 10 dimensions or 10 types of string. While at the same time, the sages of Israel teach

As we can see there are 10 layers of vibration from a scientific as well as spiritual point of view

It turns out that we are all vibrating, and perhaps the more someone exists on a lower level of consciousness with a life filled with anger and frustration, the lower their vibration would be, and the more spiritually refined individual who lives a life of inner peace, is vibrating at a higher level. This would make sense when two people meet. One may think that “I don’t like his vibe”, which would mean that I sensed the level he is vibrating on and it doesn’t vibrate well with mine. People of similar vibrations tend to flock to each other and stay within circles of people that don’t conflict with their own vibration. However, the Tzaddik, or the righteous individual/s of the world, have the ability to spend time with and hang out with people of a much lower vibration without having that vibration interfere with their high pitched vibration. Rather, the righteous has the ability to elevate and heighten anyones vibration to a much higher pitch. Let’s start this story off assuming that Adam, the first man to receive consciousness, was vibrating at the highest frequency possible.

The Torah starts off by saying -

We will use this verse to lay out the opening theme of this manuscript.

It has been taught -

We learn from here that massive amounts of information are stored into sentences, words, and even letters. This information gets extrapolated through various means of wisdom that have been transmitted through every generation.

One of the ways information can be pulled from the Torah, is by combining all the words together, and reformatting the spacing to create new words, all while keeping the letters in the same order. By employing this method of teaching we can reread the first opening words of the Torah

בראש יתברא אלהים את השמים ואת הארץ

By rearranging the words while keeping the same order of the letters, the opening verse of the Torah can be read as, "In the head, The Creator created the heavens and the earth". We are going to open this manuscript, and bring the proper sources, to suggest that Adam, the first conscious man, firstly existed in a state of bliss inside of his mind. This would imply that he would have been able to exist for thousands of years in his body, in a deep state of meditation. For any believer in the Torah, this should not come as a shock, as we see with Moses, when he went up the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights, he did not eat, drink, or sleep, he was in a different realm of spiritual existence.

Part II - The Creation Narrative

Back to the days of creation. We notice also that there was a creation of Light on Day One and then a Sun on Day Four. What was this original light that was created on the first day if it wasn't the moon? On this question we are going to now look into the writings of our ancestors.

Over here Rashi says that this light was a secret light that was meant for humanity but stored away in the future for generations to come. However, that wasn’t before Adam had a taste of it.

This light being sown away for the future is hinted to here by King David -

We are now going to focus on where this light was actually stored. When Adam sinned we teach that his light was shattered and scattered throughout the world in the form of what we refer to as sparks.

The next thousands of years that were to unfold, across all cultures and religions, was the pursuit of re-elevating those sparks from the Earth, and to fix the world. This teaching is made clear by Rabbi Nachman of Breslav.

The process it seems to bring the sparks back together, would be through the consumption of things that contain those sparks.

It would seem that the means of elevating the sparks would be to consume an item that contains that specific spark, specifically with the intention of ‘enhancing his service of the Lord’, then that spark will be rectified and returned to its source in the mind of humanity, where it was initially residing.

We are now going to suggest that there was a specific part of the brain that was functioning to allow Adam to experience the light of Eden, and that light somehow contains the same ‘sparks’, or chemicals with specific plants on Earth. We find it taught that there was indeed a specific part of the brain as such:

We see here that Eden is being referred to as a specific location in the brain from which pleasurable experiences secrete from. This is fascinating. When Adam was exiled from the garden after the Sin, that location was guarded by what would be referred to as a double edged Sword being held by Cherubim (category of angel).

If you want to suggest that Eden wasn’t a place in the brain, rather it was where Adam was geographically located, we have a Midrash to teach us clearly they were two distinct locations.

If there is a place in the brain called Eden, and there are Cherubin blocking the entrance towards Eden, we can suggest that there is a scientific phenomenon within the brain not allowing us to have access to this location during our awake state. Let us now suggest where this Eden is and it's functionality.

Part III - The Science of Creation

What we are going to do now is focus on the possible scientific side of this story of the light of Adam leaving his mind, being stored within the mundane matter of the planet, and the process of extracting those sparks from the Earth. When focusing on this understanding there seems to be an elephant in the room asking to be studied. As we learned above, it is taught that Adam SAW from one end of the world to another. The wording “see” implies there was something visual happening, yet we know our front two eyes aren't built to see that far.. There must be something else he used to see.

Within the brain of humans exists what would appear to be (based on structure and shape) an eyeball. This is referred to as the Pineal Gland. It’s a light sensitive singular gland lodged in between a two sided brain. It contains rods and cones in the same construct as our two eyeballs. When it’s dark at night it secretes melatonin.

However, as recently proven in a scientific study,we can now associate a well known chemical with the Pineal gland. This chemical, which flows throughout the human body and plants and animals throughout the whole world, is called Dimethyltryptamine, otherwise known as DMT. DMT, although it is a naturally occurring chemical throughout the planet, it is also considered a classified and illegal drug. The DMT chemical, when consumed by a human, via extraction from a plant, takes that person to what would be described as another dimension filled with light and greeted by an entity of love that communicates with the individual. Today, this experience is being used to reset and treat human trauma, end drug addiction without withdrawal, and to treat depression and prevent suicide.

We see that the DMT chemical is central to the ancient and modern religious ceremonies of the South American tribes, in what is known as Ayahuasca. Ayahuasca is a tea that allows the DMT chemical to be consumed, which then takes the individual on a 6 hour+ journey into the mind and body. Today, Ayahuasca is used as a cleansing experience and clinical treatment for people with addiction, suicidal tendencies, depression and a wide range of health challenges and issues, as the active chemical compound is known to hyperactivate the neurological network where trauma and addiction is stored.

Throughout this text we are going to attempt to weave together the Biblical texts alongside science and history to suggest that the light that Adam was experiencing in Eden was an activated Pineal Gland, with the chemical DMT naturally flowing forth from it, in his awake state.

Rabbi Eli P. - “This would imply that the pineal gland is the so-called "Eden" discussed above. The pineal gland is also in the midbrain, not too far from the nucleus accumbens. This may confirm the midbrain region as the ‘Eden’ lobe.”

The purpose of the world now became to find and recollect these sparks. A team of people would be needed to band together in this mission which was foretold would take thousands of years. We are now going to focus on the forming of this nation. This nation ends up being called the People of Israel. The name Israel was another name for Jacob, the first Israelite. However, the story, the event, whereupon Jacob comes to be called “Israel” has some interesting points to note.

Firstly, we teach that Jacob left his camp to double back to where they came from, to retrieve the small jars that he had forgotten there. Upon returning to the camp he was met with an angel who entered into a battle with him. One may come to think that this was an actual battle, but our sages teach that this was a battle in the metaphysical realm, in the world of Prophecy.

Jacob wins the battle and names the place when he is done, none other than Pineal, and he continues to say he is calling it Pineal, because here he saw G-D face to face. When examining the Hebrew word Pineal, we easily see it's made up of two different words, Pnei and E-L, which translates to G-Ds Face.

The etymology of the Pineal Gland is reported to have come from the 1700’s when the Latin word Pinea for Pine Cone was used to refer to this gland, as it’s pine cone shaped. That the mathematical pattern/shape of the Pine Cone, which is called the Fibonacci sequence, the spiral shape we see found throughout the universe, from the snail shells to the solar systems, it's all the same mathematical alignment. It's interesting to note that when people report what they see during the DMT experience, it's perfectly describing the geometric patterns of the Pine Cone. It would seem that the Etymology of the word Pineal Gland would be tied to ancient times based on the Hebrew location of Pineal. However, the link of the Pine Cone suggests it as well as we see through the Fibonacci sequence. As well, the Vatican currently has a large Pine Cone in a location connected to Hadrian.

As well, we see the pinecone being used in ancient Assyrian culture:

“The figure holds a small bucket in his left hand, and in his right an object resembling a pine-cone. This cone, called by the Assyrians a "purifier," seems to have been used to sprinkle holy water from the bucket, and may have had a symbolic association with the artificial fertilization of date-palm trees. The bucket itself is incised with the image of two miniature winged figures performing the same act, not toward the king but toward a central 'sacred tree' and the winged disk associated with Assyria's chief god Ashur.”

In fact, pine cones are seen in cultures throughout the world:

“Ancient civilizations used the pine cone in architecture, sculpture, and paintings. The staff of Osiris has a pinecone on top of two intertwined serpents. Hindu gods have pine cones in their hands. Shiva’s hair is woven with snakes in the shape of a pine cone. Using the pine cones with serpents represents spiritual consciousness. Pine cones have also been used to symbolize eternal life. There are Assyrian carvings of god-like figures holding pine cones aloft. The Assyrians also show a pine cone being used to fertilize the Tree of Life. A statue of a Mexican deity holds a pinecone and evergreen tree branches. Dionysus also carried a staff topped with a pinecone. There is a three-foot-tall bronze pine cone that was used in ancient Rome as a fountain. It sat in the Pantheon. Pinecones have been associated with the pineal gland. The pineal gland has the shape of a pinecone and is located in the brain. The pineal gland regulates melatonin which helps with seasonal cycles. The pineal gland has been called the Third Eye as it is the intuitive center of the brain. Pinecones are often depicted at the top of a staff. The staff can represent the spine and the pinecone represents the pineal gland or the Third Eye.”

Rabbi Eli P. - “As an aside, Fibonacci was heavily influenced by Rabbi Avraham bar Chiya:”

Part IV - Prophecy

Now, let's discuss Prophecy for a moment. Prophecy seems to be a metaphysical experience where something in the brain connects to a higher dimension of revelation. We are taught that there are levels to Prophecy, using the terms opaque and translucent to describe the vision. Not every Prophet had the same level of seeing the prophetic world with clarity.

The world of Prophecy is a mysterious one, but looking at a few things we do know about it, we can see an instant connection to the Prophetic state and an activated Pineal Gland.

Let's start here:

We are taught that a dream is 1/60th of Prophecy. This connects the dream state with the Prophetic state. Science today has proven (need source) that DMT is flowing at a higher rate in the brain and body during the REM sleep states. Infact, the Pineal gland is responsible for the Melatonin secretions of the brain that actually put the person to sleep. It has been suggested and studied that the DMT chemical is responsible for the visions we experience while we dream.

We see from the Talmud that there is a connection between the dream state and the concept of seeing from one end of the world to another, the same language used to describe the level of vision Adam had.

As well, the Rambam makes clear that the dream state is directly related to the prophetic state.

We also see the connection of an ‘open eye’ in the singular in reference to another's Prophecy.

As the text goes on we will see more connections between an open eye in the singular and deep sleep states in regards to the prophetic experience.

Although we can see elsewhere that dreaming is not the exclusive means to the prophetic vision.

We see the prophetic experience was a matter of the brain:

Part V - Egypt

According to tradition, the main sparks of Adam were at the time concentrated in Egypt, so it would seem a requirement that a family/team of humans would form to enter Egypt and extract those sparks.

To stay constant with the DMT theory, we would have to see some sort of presence of this chemical in Egyptian culture. There is one specific plant that will keep coming up that will be of great interest to us. This would be the Acacia tree. The Acacia tree is known to contain high amounts of this chemical DMT.

Low and behold as documented by Seham el-Sayed abd el Hameed Eissa, Assistant Professor of Egyptology Department of Archaeology at the Kafer El- Sheikh University, and Taghreed el-Sayed abd el Hameed Eissa, researcher on Floriculture and Ornamental Horticulture at the Research Institute Giza:

Furthermore, it would seem that the whole of Egyptian culture has its roots in the functionality of the third eye, Pineal gland. The eye of Horus is said to resemble a brain with a Pineal in the center.

“To the Ancient Egyptians, the Tree of Life represented the hierarchical chain of events that brought everything into existence. The spheres of the Tree of Life demonstrate the order, process, and method of creation. In Egyptian mythology, the first couple (earth and sky). They were said to have emerged from the acacia tree of Iusaaset, which the Egyptians considered the tree of life, referring to it as the ‘tree in which life and death are enclosed’.”

The interesting thing about the descent into Egypt was the plants that the Israelites were instructed to bring with them. Jacob had told the Israelites to bring Acacia trees with them and to plant them when they get to Egypt, and that in the future they will play a role in your redemption.

Not only were these trees that were planted in Egypt waiting to be taken out, the Israelites would stare at them as a consolation and to regain hope for future redemption.

Part VI - The Sinai Experience

We now see the children of Israel go into the desert with Moses, bringing the acacia trees with them. The Israelites knew that they had to bring the trees, and Moses knew what to do with them. Growing up in the house of Pharoah as a child, and being close to the inner circles of secret information, I am going to suggest that Moses was proficient in the ways of plant secrets within the inner circles of Egyptian sorcerers. Even if he wasn't, we see in the Torah that those individuals of Egypt actually left with the Israelites and joined them. These mixed multitudes were of the highest class of Egyptian magicians and sorcerers.

The Israelites then prepare for their Sinai experience. It’s interesting to note that we are taught that while at Sinai, the Israelites had been cleaned from the Sin of Adam, and the Venom from the snake had left them.

What may have caused the return of this light? Perhaps it had to do with the manna, which Danny N. speculates could be an ergot-like chemical. The same chemical is common in LSD.

Here we clearly see from Isaiah that the returning light of the future that will be on our heads is the same light the Israelites received when they were ‘crowned’ in the desert. However, we also see that this light was short-lived and was once again stored away for future generations.

As the story goes, Moses came down from the mountain a second time with a glowing face. However, his second descent was not the same Torah as the first time.

WE ALSO SEE THAT HIS INCENSE INHALATION DIRECTLY LED TO A VISION!!

We also see that the essence of this rectification was crucial to the exact combination of plants.

The rectification of the sin somehow had to do with standing in a room filled with smoke. If we look back at this whole story, we see that Adam went from garments of light (Ohr) back from existing in mind and into his body into garments of actual skin (Ohr).

The primordial light that was seemingly lost needs to be restored, via the mechanism of collecting the lost sparks stored in the inanimate objects of the planet, including plants throughout the Earth.

To return or retrieve this light we had to bring a very specific plant with us to Egypt, and flee Egypt with this plant. We then spent 40 years mastering the combination and consumption methods of a list of many different plants. We then build a temple to help restore the light of the mind in which we have a man standing in a room filled with smoke from plant extracts. If we cant see that this story starts and is consumed with the intimate relationship between humans and plants, we are not properly reading the story.

There are a few interesting things to note about the High Priests experience in the Holy of Holies. Interestingly enough, it turns out that the daughter of the High Priest of Israel was referred to as Bat Pineal, the daughter of the Pineal. See what the Talmud says the reason for this is:

We see that the high Priest is referred to as Pineal, because he served in that inner chamber, where man experiences the divine, and rectifies the Sin of Adam and Eve. It seems that the process of all the people having access to the light of the mind, it was kept alive as a memory, by the High Priest of Israel, with its instructions and details found in the Torah, to be a torch of a memory passed down from generation to generation, awaiting for the greater return of the light.

We are also going to suggest something that hasn’t been considered before. We don’t see Acacia, the DMT containing plant in the Incense used by the High Priest on the day of atonement, although we do see a mixture of other mind altering plants. We also see that the coals for the temple were made from wood, and the wood they had was Acacia wood. It would be relevant to suggest that the coals were made in a way where the DMT within was activated when burned and inhaled. This would just be a hypothesis for now.

Yet, we do see another place in the Torah where these exact coals from the High Priest were used elsewhere to bring atonement.

We see the very same coals that the High Priest of Israel used on that day, were also used to cleanse a Prophet from sin and ultimately take him to the Prophetic state where the Lord appears to him.

We are now going to focus back on the science of the matter. If Adam had experienced some sort of exile, there would be generational trauma that exists from that time that we are still dealing with. I believe that the High Priest of Israel was going into that room to (A) Continue the transmission of communication between the divine and keep the nation focused and in sync with divine principles and (B) To erase generational trauma in the DNA and help spread the message to the people.

The plants involved in the rituals of the Priest would scientifically have an effect on the neurological network that deals with where we store and can erase Trauma. We can also expect a day to arrive when the sparks are no longer stuck in the Earth, and the Crown of light will once again be upon our heads, in a scientific and spiritual sense.

May We Be Worthy, AMEN!
