Psychedelic Agape

First, I want to thank member Sanjay Perera for one of his recent posts: http://evolver.net/user/sanjay_perera/blog/heavenly_treasure_individuals..., from which I drew inspiration for this, my first post.
Now, despite my upbringing, I would not at all consider myself a Christian in the sense that most everyone else uses the term because, after some interesting experiences, research, and deep thought on the subject, I have come to realize that the original significance of the Christ figure, through the religion itself, has been eroded and degraded over two millennia; considering all the dubious and horrible things still committed in the name of Christ, this troubles me deeply.
Through the use of entheogenic/psychedelic substances and also through the ideas of some brilliant thinkers & writers, I know now that every person has the potential of becoming his or her own Jesus Christ, in the sense that we have the ability to open our hearts and love everything and everyone unconditionally: this is the Christ's all-encompassing message. Briefly, let us examine a passage from the New Testament that was partially quoted by Pinchbeck in 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl,
Though I speak with the tongues of Men and of Angels, and have not
Charity [Love/Agape], I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all
knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not Charity, it
profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; Charity envieth not;
Charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the Truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;
whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it
shall vanish away.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a
child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in
part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
- 1 Corinthians 13
I know it's a long quote, but I feel that all of it is necessary in order to convey the full meaning. Also, sorry about the line formatting; that happened just as I typed "Corinthians".
This "Charity", this Agape or Universal Love, has been a hallmark of all my experiences with psilocybin mushrooms; it is always the first and strongest impression, no matter the varying content of the trips: it is the invisible background against which all the other visions and information present themselves. It is something I felt intuitively, at certain times, as a child, but which I then gradually lost between the ages of 16 and 19. Then I had my first mushroom experience, and during these past two years I've ingested the magical fungi roughly every few months, with each trip a better experience than the last.
Because of the euphoric opening-of-the-heart feeling that I experience with mushrooms, it was little surprise to me when I came across the idea, put forth by Terence McKenna, Christian Ratsch and others, that the original "Christians" may have been members of a mushroom cult. This made even more sense as I thought of the now purely symbolic Eucharist of the Catholic mass, in which worshippers partake in eating the "body" of Christ.
In the beginning (yes, slight pun), perhaps this gesture was unflinchingly literal: the followers would eat the fleshy psychedelic mushrooms and would meet the Godhead, Creator, Jehovah, the Great Cosmic Spirit, what have you, who might "say" to them in their visions, "Partake of these mushrooms, swallow them up so that you might know wisdom and love, so that you might transcend the hardships of earthly humanity and might learn what the realm of death is like (it's not as bad as you think); for these mushrooms are the vessel through which you have access to me." Sounds kind of like: "I am the Way, the light...", doesn't it?
