| Stamets also suggest psilocybin mycelium could extract phosphorus from organophosphates, a group that includes chemical weapons, pesticides, herbicides and other industrial toxins. Some species of fungi exhibit was is called hyperaccumulation, and these species are capable of taking up extreme levels of heavy metals like cadmium, arsenic, mercury and lead and even radioactive elements such as cesium 134 and 137. (10) Mushrooms that perform this unique action are not edible but can be used to remove these toxins from the environment and then moved to an incinerator or toxic waste site. And finally, the mycelium from certain fungi can be used to prevent the use of harmful, organophosphate laden pesticides. Stamets has discovered that insects can become Trojan horse vectors for fungi partially destructive to invasive insect colonies like termites and carpenter ants. Fortunately, many countries are now banning these, but in their absence, we need new, natural solutions and mushroom mycelium is that solution. (11) David Moore is retired after 43 years researching and teaching genetics and mycology. He is co-author of the 21st Century Guidebook to Fungi (Cambridge 2011). Moore also wrote a book entitled Fungal Biology and the Origin and Meaning of Life (2013) and runs a website “The World of Fungi” at http://www.davidmoore.org.uk/ - Moore advances the theory based on a tremendous amount of scientific data that life started on this planet with the mushroom spore from space. I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to pursue this avenue further. Moore has some very interesting information. The idea that spores started life on earth is a popular one due to the knowledge that spores can live in a vacuum and hitch rides on meteorites. Unified Fungal Theory This next part I’ll just call my “Unified Fungal Theory,” which describes the interconnectedness of everything via a mycelium network of cells through all life forms on the planet. How does this “intelligence” start to lead mankind? And how on earth did we ever get into such a religious mess? What went wrong everyone might wonder? This is a theory, allow me to remind the reader. It is a theory I have based on the knowledge I have gathered through facts which I, as well as many others have gathered, which I have compiled into this book. We have seen how the ancient people believed that god/dess was embodied within the mushroom and how this was the chief spiritual path for most people who have access to the mushroom whatsoever. We have also seen how the UFO has influenced mankind throughout the ages, even going back to ancient India. I think it’s safe to assume that this phenomena we describe as the UFO has been here as long as the mushroom has. We have even heard of strange instances where the sighting of a UFO the night before led to immediate mushroom growth within a type of crop circle |
left behind by the UFO. We have also read, from McKenna and others how the UFO becomes easier to view for some people while under the influence of mushrooms, or other tryptamines. So I present my theory as follows: The Mushroom is the UFO and the UFO is the mushroom. They are one and the same phenomenon. The UFO is the “higher mind” and astral form of intelligence of the mushroom and can fly anywhere. Instantly, it can morph, change shape entirely and operates in a “timeless” zone. The mushroom is the physical manifestation of the god/dess, and when it is eaten, it is god’s flesh or the food of the gods. It is a “true” holy sacrament and there is no other. In the Rg Veda, the priests pray for the asvins (UFOs) to bring the Maruts (Mushrooms spores) and they are welcoming them to “land on the sacred grass.” Praying for them to actually land. Then they do, and the Soma sacrifice can be made, the virgin sacrifice. It’s time to cut the head off and pull the heart out and eat it. Early humans are led by UFOs, appearing here and there, guiding them. I would imagine that the UFOs may have had a hand in guiding us to the mushrooms at one point. They may have showed us how to first prepare ayahuasca, which cannot be explained other than by shamans who claim, “the spirits of the plants told us.” Well, what if the same ideas pertain to UFOs in some native cultures? Is it possible that the spirits of the plants could also be the UFOs in some cases? Remember the medieval cabalists we discussed in Chapter 20 on the Discourses on the Secret Sciences and how they described some elementals as “aeriel vehicles.” This Sumerian agate with red hematite seal might leave a clue as to the connection between the two. It appears to show a UFO over the tree of life, while a worshiper stands before the sacred tree, from Neo-Assyrian period, 900–600 BC (24c).  (24c) A worshiper stands before a sacred tree and a winged sun disc. Neo-Assyrian Period. Agate with Red Hematite Areas c. 900–600 BC (10) ibid, p. 105 (11) ibid, p. 112 |
