Cannabis Ethnobotany, Ancient Spiritual Beliefs
Ethnobotany Of Ancient China
Ecclesiates 9:7 "7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works."
Ancient writings that were written by the Ancient Chinese Emporer known as Shen Nung, mentions Cannabis as a critical plant for the treatment of various illnesses, including beri-beri, malaria, and forgetfulness(yes you read that right).[1] These writings were dated back to 2000 B.C.[1] Shen Nung also claimed that it "frees the psyche".[1] He goes into more detail stating that "If taken over a long term, it makes one communicate with spirits, and lightens one's body."[1] Other writers in ancient Chine said that it was a "liberator of sin"[1], and I found that very interesting because I've always said and observed that Cannabis for me at least, sort of "forces you to repent", as I put it. The Rh-Ya, which was compiled pre fifteenth century b.c., has the earliest mention of Cannabis, known as "ma", for shamanic purposes.[1] Remember, shamanism is witchcraft and is to be avoided. I do however, have a believe that these ethnobotanicals have a hidden and secret Jewish past(and want to hunt for evidence), as I believe the occult has stolen them away from the Jews and Christians, as well as other Abrahamnic religions. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Moses ate the fruit and knew more about hidden things that people realize, and went about it from a Jewish way of living, but that's my belief.
Ma-Yo Ancient Chinese Infusion
Throughout history, Cannabis was often combined with many other psychoactive and visionary(psychoactive/psychedelic) plants by different cultures. It was very common to find it in mixtures that included Datura ( White Thornapple , Datural Metel, {very dangerous deadly plant avoid this plant at all cost}), the Opium Poppy, and others such as Wormword(See Revelation), and so on.[2] One such example of an infusion is called "ma-yo", or "ma-po".[2] This was a concoction invented by a Chinese physician called as Hau-to.[2] It was an hybrid mixture(recipe), which included Marijuana resin, wine, monkshood ( Aconitum sp.)kudzu flowers ( Pueraria lobata ), and wormwood.[2] I definately appreciate the seed bearing herbs that God gave us, but witches and sorcerers(shamans) used poisonous plants a lot of the time, and this should be avoided, especially Datura. It was considered a narcotic anesthetic mixture.[2] Again, while there is such a thing as herbal infusions made from different plants being combined to be used as medicine, these guys were using something no one should ever consume, and that is Datura. While Shamans are correct to acknowledge the super-natural's existence, something a lot of Christians fail to do, they are wrong to fail to acknowledge the holy spirit, as they recognize every other spirit, while lacking discernment. As Derek Prince says, "If you make a covenant with a culture, group, cult, etc, you make a covenant with their gods." This can result in a curse. Beware of wierd new age and pagan cults.
Some infusions utilized the medical rule known as the Arndt-Schulz rule.[3] The Arndt-Schulz rule basically states that any poison ( like Datura ) is a medicine in a dilute enough dosage.[3] I am not sure I agree with this methodology, as God has created a vast array of medicinal plants which demonstrate no known toxcicity, under strict scientific study too, this has been proven. Why use something poison with so many non-toxic and more effective remedies available? All fallen religions are forms of witchcraft, they tend to lean towards poisons.(I'm not being a hater, I dated a witch once. I'll never do it again.) Likewise, any medicine MAY be a poison in sufficient enough of a dosage, with A LOT of exceptions.[3] The addition of wormwood to the mixture is also worth mentioning. Wormwood is the main ingredient in the mystic drink called " Absinthe ".. Pastor Robert Morris says that Wormwod was known to cause insanity back in the day. I have not heard too much about this, but it may be an occult secret. I personally believe that Wormwood should be avoided as it has been tied to dark sneaky pagan cultures, and was even named by scientist after a false greek God, and is mentioned in the book or Revelation as a metaphor for a fallen angel(demon).. I have however, used Wormwood plenty of times with no ill effects. It can be used as a medicine though, and I have had positive results with it when used as such. The Native Americans used it also, just avoid daily use.
The following recipe was invented by Li Shizhen, and was considered a powerful anesthetic.[2] Equal parts of white thornapple ( datura ) and Marijuana were harvested at the end of the year.[2] They were added to wine.[2] The result was a powerful tool that could induce narcotic anesthesia following ingestion.[2] Doctors could carry our minor operations without causing any pain to the patient.[2]
Cannabis & The Psyche/Spirit Realm
THIS is what the bible speaks of and warns again in Deuteronomy 18. The use of plants as medicine is not forbidden, nor is the use of plant drugs like Cannabis forbidden when used IN A GODLY CONTEXT, AND RESPONSBILY. HOWEVER, Pharmakeia (sorcery) is everything described in Deuteronomy 18, which is everything these guys were into. It's forbidden because you're using enemey strategies and communing with Gods enemies. The following information illustrates exactly what the word Pharmakeia represents in the ancient times, and I will detail how modern serpent medical corporations are guilty of a high tech modern version of the same thing. It is important to note that modern pharmaceutical industry is also pharmakeia, as it was birthed from occult practices such as plant alchemy, and makes use of astrology, graven images, and various idolic practices such as divination, soothsaying, etc. Cannabis was added to more infusions than just those used as anesthetics.[2] Many cultures used the same plants in different ways. Diviners would combine Cannabis with Panax Ginseng Roots so that they could foresee future events.[2] There was idolatry and other occult practices involved though. Merely consuming Ginseng and Cannabis together wouldn't constitute sorcery, because the context matters. I hate how pagans have turned the church against seed bearing herbs. This is the point. Pharmakeia is: The use or administration of drugs, medicines, and poisons, specifically in association with idolatry, and the OCCULT(other gods) (Deuteronomy 18) There's a lot of satanic propaganda online that calls divination prophecy, the two are NOT the same, but are very similar. See my blog on Prophecy Vs Divination 2 Peter 1:21 "For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."
Here is why the bible doesn't condemn the use of plants, in a proper context. Allow the bible to speak for itself. Ezekiel 47:12 KJV "And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine." Let's not forget Ecclesiastes 3:1 which tells us that everything under the heaven has a time and a purpose, everything. The Shamanic(sorcerer) belief that Cannabis combined with Panax Ginseng roots could enable diviners to foretell future events is a perfect example of one type of Pharmakeia.[2] The other type of pharmakeia again is the modern pharmaceutical industry, which makes use of various poions(contact a poison control center), forceful druggings meant to modify someones behavior (mind control, drugging, poisoning, the use of drugs to silence or punish an individual, the baker act, "mental health"), and idolatry in general. The main symbols used in pharma are both based on false Gods, idols, like the staff of hermes, and the rod of asclepius.[4] Their drugs are idols(the neon gods they made), their symbols are idols(graven images), and the actual substances are just ripped off from God's design. Example: Fentanyl is made in the likeness of morphine that exist in the Opium Poppy. That makes it made in the likeness of that which is in the earth beneath. Sense it can be an idol, and is in violation of the second commandment, then we can see how it is bad news and idolatry. More people die from prescription drugs than anything else. It is the TREE OF DEATH, one of the many peices of fruit found on the tree of knowledge(science).
Again, the Datura plant IS VERY DANGEROUS, EVEN DEADLY!. I hate to see dangerous teachings online with no warning, that tell people this stuff was used as a medicine. That's why I mention that it was used by professionals and people should just avoid it all together. It doesn't take much of it to be considered toxic. In homeopathic medicine, plants such as Datura were made into very diluted medicines designed to induce an immune response in the patient.( Arndt-Schulz rule ) Don't try this at home. This page is merely here to illustrate what it is the bible speaks of, and some of my thoughts. I believe God made plants to keep our minds and body healthy, so we could hear from him and be well, but not to commune with enemey spirits. On my other blog I expose medical genocide taking place today and how it is tied in with the serpents plan. You can learn more about that here Note: The word Pharmakos means: "A pharmakós (Greek: φαρμακός, plural pharmakoi) in Ancient Greek religion was the ritualistic sacrifice or exile of a human scapegoat or victim." Beware of serpent.
