The Bread of the Gods
The research of ethnobotanist Terence McKenna, reported in The Gods of Eden, concerning the ancestral relationship of human beings with chemical substances, opens a door to the divine and suggests a solution to save our troubled world. McKenna reviews the historical role of drugs in Eastern and Western cultures, from the ancient trades in spices, sugar, and rum to marijuana, cocaine, synthetic drugs, and even television—illustrating the human desire to taste the “bread of the gods,” as well as the enormous potential for replacing illegal drug abuse with a shamanic understanding, an emphasis on community, reverence for nature, and expanding self-awareness.
