2012 - Science Or Superstition?/JMJ/16

Izapa really was a kind of New World Eleusis. In the Old World, Eleusis was a place where seekers were initiated into the sacred mysteries. And at Izapa initiates, those seeking knowledge were brought through a process of understanding this new galactic cosmology and clearly, sacred plants was part of this. We know that ritual mushroom stones were found in the region around Izapa, so we know that there was a kind of mushroom cult going on there. And we also that dimethyltriptamine is a powerful hallucinogenic that can be harvested from the glands of the bufo toad. And stela 6 at Izapa, for example, depicts the bufo toad and it actually shows the toad's glands with vision scrolls coming out of the glands. This actually indicates a very clear proof that they were aware of the vision-producing effects of the gland secretions. So it's very clear that Izapa was an initiatory centre that utilised hallucinogenic plants and substances in order to facilitate expansion of consciousness so that larger perspectives could be embraced.
