This week’s American Alchemist is Brian Muraresku: Brian is the New York Times bestselling author of the book, The Immortality Key. It documents the Ancient Greek mystery rituals that many said held civilization together and that the fathers of western civilization (Plato, Aristotle etc.) all underwent. Many of these great thinkers claimed the rituals helped them encounter “their immortal soul”. In The Immortality Key, Brian makes a strong case that the drink they consumed in the mystery rituals contained psychedelics and that these rituals had serious effects on the beginnings of Christianity.
*** AMERICAN ALCHEMY is an original series hosted by Jesse Michels that explores the frontier of science and tech. Each week, we bring you exclusive interviews with some of the leading thinkers of our time.
