I Chapter Nine: Judeo-Christianity

Upon eating this mysterious something, the spirit of the lord lifted Ezekiel up and he then went to speak to the house of Israel.

REVELATION Now we turn to the King James version of Revelation 1:12-13: And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks 402 one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

The Son of man who's "clothed with a garment down to the foot" is the Amanita mushroom. The garment (or "robe," as translated in other versions of the Bible) is the universal veil that covers the entire mushroom. The number seven represents, once again, the seven chakras, the seven stars of the Pleiades, the seven days of the week, and the seven known planets. The word translated in verse 13 as "paps" should actually be singular, as "pap."403 The cap of the mushroom equated to a pap (something resembling a nipple or breast) because of its shape. Revelation 1: 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire ...

Again, the reference to the red eyes ... we could go on all day with alchemical mushroom representations throughout the Bible, but it is not the scope of this book.

402 The candlesticks were first pointed out by Allegro, 1970, pg. 68. 403 Strong:~ #G3149: Mastos. From the base ofG3145; a (properly female) breast (as if kneaded up):- pap.
