Aprašymas

A self-guided manual exploring how entheogenic practice can inspire a renewal of Christian mysticism and deepen personal experience of the Holy Trinity: God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Christianity has a long and rich mystical tradition, and there is evidence that some early Christian communities used entheogenic plants as sacraments. Entheogenic Christianity seeks to reintroduce an entheogenic theology to help address the spiritual dryness often found within many expressions of the modern Church.

As many Christians move away from traditional denominations towards more charismatic forms of worship, such as Pentecostalism, there are signs of a growing desire for a more direct experience of the Holy Spirit. As a self-guided manual, Entheogenic Christianity offers inspiration for a renewed Christian mysticism and a deeper experiential relationship with the Divine.

The book is grounded in years of personal experience exploring a mystical connection with Christ Consciousness and the infinite Divine, complemented by extensive interdisciplinary research spanning Christianity, world religions, mysticism, entheogens, history, metaphysics, psychology, and the health sciences.

Within these pages, readers will discover the historical foundations of Christian mysticism and their relevance to an entheogenic theology; practices for entering Theosis (the transformative experience of participation in the Divine); a map of consciousness to guide the spiritual aspirant towards deeper mystical states; guidance on creating safe set and setting rooted in Christian tradition for the sacramental use of entheogens; an exploration of both the benefits and challenges of entheogenic practice, together with approaches for navigating them; and methods for integrating experiences of Christ Consciousness and the infinite Divine into daily life in service of embodying the Christian ideal.

Entheogenic Christianity will appeal to readers seeking to deepen their faith through direct spiritual experience, as well as to those interested in the intersection of Christianity, mysticism, and entheogenic practice.
