This really has nothing to do with Iceland.
It's a company *selling supplements*.

Moses and the Israelites were on drugs, says Benny Shanon, an Israeli
professor of cognitive philosophy.

Writing in the British Journal Time and Mind, he claims Moses was
probably on psychedelic drugs when he received the Ten Commandments
from God.

The assertions give a whole new meaning to Moses being "high" on Mount
Sinai.

According to Shanon, a professor at Hebrew University, two naturally
existing plants in the Sinai Peninsula have the same psychoactive
components as ones found in the Amazon jungle and are well-known for
their mind-altering capabilities. The drugs are usually combined in a
drink called ayahuasca.

"As far as Moses on Mount Sinai is concerned, it was either a
supernatural cosmic event, which I don't believe, or a legend, which I
don't believe either, or finally, and this is very probable, an event
that joined Moses and the people of Israel under the effects of
narcotics," he told Israel Radio in an interview Tuesday.

The description in The Book of Exodus of thunder, lightening and a
blaring trumpet, according to Shanon, are the classic imaginings of
people under the influence of drugs.

As for the vision of the burning bush, well obviously that too was a
drug-fueled hallucination, according to Shanon.

"In advanced forms of ayahuasca inebriation," he wrote, "the seeing of
light is accompanied by profound religious and spiritual feelings."

Shanon admits he took some of these drugs while in the Amazon in 1991.
"I experienced visions that had spiritual-religious connotations," he
said.

The initial reaction to this controversial theory from Israel's
religiously orthodox community and the powerful rabbis who lead it was
less than enthusiastic.

Orthodox rabbi Yuval Sherlow, quoted by Reuters speaking on Israel
radio, said: "The Bible is trying to convey a very profound event. We
have to fear not for the fate of the biblical Moses, but for the fate
of science."

If that is not true, the Bible is still not a book of facts so cannot
say what is written in the Bible really happened.

If they were just all on drugs, why were their drug-induced
hallucinations all at the same time of the same thing (such as Moses
face, which shone)?  The drug theory doesn't jibe.

Exo. 34:30  And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses,
behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh
him.

Interesting the drug is called ayahuasca (containing the sacred name
YAH). Could that be because those using it could suddenly 'see
God' (the goal of many hippies in the sixties who used hallucinogenic
drugs)? And 'blaring trumpets' were never reported by users of
hallucinogens, so that claim is bogus. A net search also reveals it is
a drug alleged to cure everything from cancer to depression and not
just an hallucinogen. Perhaps when they used it and 'saw God', they
were healed.

"aya means "spirit," "ancestor," or "dead person," while waska means
"vine" or "rope"."

"Ayahuasca is used largely as a religious sacrament, no matter which
culture it is associated with. Those whose usage of ayahuasca is
performed in non-traditional contexts often align themselves with the
philosophies and cosmologies associated with ayahuasca shamanism, as
practiced among indigenous peoples like the Urarina of Peruvian
Amazonia. The religion Santo Daime uses it.

While non-native users know of the spiritual applications of
ayahuasca, a less well-known traditional usage focuses on the
medicinal properties of ayahuasca."

Maybe you should try some.

You're a moron.

Maybe you should have enough sense to know that the herds of people
halucinating didn't write the OT - it was some priests writing for
their own objectives.

Some Native American religions use peyote to induce stupors that are
part of their "religious" ceremonies.

You're reply is stupid.
