Gnostic texts are filled with encounters of strange other worldly
beings, journeys to visionary heavenly realms, and encounters with
the presence and spirit of the divine. In Gnostic visions, author
and Gnostic scholar Luke A. Myers presents evidence demonstrating
how Gnostic visions were created and the connection these visions
have to naturally occurring visionary compounds that are still
inexistence today.
The culmination of more than ten years of research, "Gnostic
Visions" advances the understanding of classical ethnobotany,
Gnosticism, and the genesis of early Christian history. In this
book the author discusses the prehistoric foundations of early
human religion as well as the visionary religious traditions of the
classical Greeks and Egyptians. Using these as a foundation, the
book presents new and never before seen research explaining how
Gnostic visions were created and what types of compounds were used
by these ancient people to create them. "Gnostic Visions" presents
evidence directly linking visionary Ayahuasca analogs with the
creation of Gnostic and Hermetic visionary experiences. "Gnostic
Visions" also describes the decline of Gnosticism, other visionary
practices used in the Dark Ages and gives a brief tour of the
visionary plants of the new world.
In Gnostic visions, Myers tells of his personal experience with
the divine and includes some of his own reflections of the
importance of mankind's relationship to the natural world. He
communicates that altered states of consciousness have been
responsible for many of the most profound mystical religious
experiences in human history.
