I am of the position (of course it's a speculative position only) that the root of all religion lies in the profound mind-states induced by psychoactive plants. To me, this idea that Moses was tripping has comic value; it's funny to imagine the hundreds of thousands who have come to a similar conclusion while in the midst of altered states, e.g. "Dude, Moses was totally tripping." I applaud this research. The irreverant tone of the post was aimed at those who reflexively scoff at the notion that plant-psychedelics can answer many questions regarding the roots of spiritual traditions. Thanks for the link, lots of good info on your blog regarding this research. Best.

Have you read the hypothesis? Please take a moment to check out the post about it in my blog- there are a number of other links at the bottom- it's not just one scholar's assertion, it's quite old news revised! :) http://shamanism.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/shanon_article_moses.pdf Hi,
