We will establish our religion with the sword. We will trample down our enemies and make it one gore of blood, from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. I will be to this generation a 2nd Muhammad, whose motto in treating for peace was ‘the Al-Qur’an or the sword.’ So shall it be with us — ‘Joseph Smith or the sword!’
Joseph Smith, 1838
(History of the Church, Vol. 3, p. 167)
“It was on the morning of a beautiful, clear day, early in the spring of eighteen hundred and twenty.”
That would be a good time of year for the Amanita Muscaria (psychedelic mushroom) to be fruiting. The first vision is amazingly similar to classic Amanita Muscaria poisoning. You can Google it. That means Joseph wasn’t lying when he said he saw god. Some people in the modern day claim the same thing in similar circumstances, although most shroomers opt for Psylocybes.
Joseph was no stranger to alchemy and shamanic technology, but wise enough to leave it out of the historical record.
It has been made perfectly clear........that there are some who are more valuable than others.
So enjoy your evening, have a pizza and a beer, rent a movie (or watch FRINGE - my favorite show) and enjoy.
Perfectly clear -
