Moses under the influence of drugs at the Sinai
When he received the 10 Commandments. Supports an Israeli psychologist

JERUSALEM - The Prophet Moses, according to an Israeli researcher, was under the influence of drugs when on Mount Sinai God gave the Ten Comandamenti. Le sostanze attive che provocano illusioni sensoriali, quali gli allucinogeni, avrebbero avuto un ruolo importante durante i riti religiosi degli israeliti ai tempi della Bibbia, ha spiegato il ricercatore Benny Shannon nella rivista di filosofia «Time and Mind». Nel caso di Mosè, dice il professore di psicologia cognitiva all'università di Gerusalemme, non si è trattato di un «evento sovrannaturale». Ma non è neppure solo leggenda: «E' molto più probabile che la vicenda si sia svolta sotto l'effetto di qualche droga psichedelica», ha detto Shannon ieri alla radio israeliana. Mosè sarebbe stato alterato anche quando vide «il cespuglio di spine ardente», dove si manifestò l'angelo of Yahweh, in fact, in the form of a flame of fire. Again the origin of the 'visions' there would have been of narcotic substances.
psychoactive effects - "The Bible reports that people could hear the sounds, and this is one of the classic phenomena which occur with certain drugs." Many cults use for ritual purposes Amazonian ayahuasca, a plant concoction, that summarizes the combined results of the molecule in question and psychoactive effects. The substance is still used frequently by indigenous shamans and sorcerers in the Amazon. "I have had the visions that had spiritual and religious significance," said the scientist who claims to have tested the mixture. The psychedelic effects are comparable with the substance extracted from the bark of the acacia. And this tree is mentioned frequently in the Bible, Shannon says in conclusion to the Time and Mind Journal of Philosophy.
REACTIONS - The news was echoed by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, triggering a series of critical reactions. But the most frequently was: "What has Shannon smoked before you write your article?". The teacher, moreover, admitted that "chiuque can take hallucinogens but to receive the Tablets of the Law must be Moses."
