Professor Ruck's personal experiences with The Mystery mirror what the Kykeon drink given to Eleusis initiates gifted... A taste of Death, and it was beautiful.
This short but profound video is the beginning of Running Naked in a State of Grace "Snapshots" - Many of us are alone, somewhat or big time, so I will be creating a "tribe" of contributors who keep us company and leave an impression.
The Immortality Key; Psychedelics & the Ancient Age | Brian Muraresku & Carl Ruck
Jordon on Jung | "He knew things he knows things that you just can't believe anyone could know." | Carl Jung’s folio manuscript was transformed into The Red Book for the public in 2009; it remains one of the most mysterious and intriguing objects of all time, Jung's illustrations on par with "The Book of Kells", and without compare as Soul work; I have lived with it since its publication, its huge presence richer than having a Pope hear my confessions at St.Peter's Basilica on Easter.
BASICS | "The Descent" | King of the Underworld Hades abducts Demeter's daughter the maiden Kore; | "The Search | The Bride, now a Queen, morphs into Persephone as Demeter searches for her...Only Baubo, mentioned in an
Orphic fragment, can make grieving Demeter laugh through an act of Anasyrma; | "The Ascent" | With Hermes help she is returned to Demeter, but only for part of the year because she is tricked into eating some pomegranate seeds...This is the Agrarian cycle.
2K YEARS GODS SHOWED UP? | My Persephone's "ghostly apparition" (Plato's description of his experience) is sacredly presented by the incomparable Yana Kremneva, manifesting this morphed Deity, languishing in the Underworld but with immense transforming power - where initiates are granted 
attendance to her higher dimension, vibrations calibrated to tolerate her sacred quantum non-local entanglement via the heart's torus EM field and Claustrum Switch after Kykeon boldly opens the gateway to the infinite... OR | She is a metaphor artfully manifested with the help of theater - though there is little room for their stage illusion arsenal with the 42 pillars - The Ancient Greek cults and the state tripped over each other to employ the most astonishing machines to awe their audience, such as the automatic doors of Heron of Alexandria opening when a fire burned on its altar...but Plato and Marcus Aurelius were not suckers.
WERE THEY TRIPPING? | During the many centuries the Mysteries thrived, the Kykeon recipe made by the exclusive Eumolpidae and Kerykes families was protected to the degree we can deduct there was something extremely proprietary - It was asked to provide a
communal vision, as Peyote can during the Half-Moon ritual...3K people...2K years...on Cue...
THE REAL DOPE | Robert Graves and Terence McKenna speculated that the mysteries were focused around a variety of Psilocybe, but 1) Ergot traces were found at Cult's temple in Girona, Spain, 2) Gordon Wasson told McKenna hot oil would draw out the toxic alkaloids, 3) power of secrets kept, and 4) Alciabiades' hippy party where he and fellow aristocrats had their own private Eleusis...saw what he saw at Eleusis; they were arrogant, but not liars.
MAGIC FLAMES | Whatever the Kykeon contained, something during the rituals erased the fear of Death... | Both Demeter and Isis used their Eternal Life powers with Demophon and Dictys, but were interrupted by the Mothers' screams...the magical flames become just fire. | Controlled tension blasts through the cave of stalagmites, upon the Telesterion's ancient Mycenaean Anaktoron - hierophants' palace - live fire, hypnotic curling smoke rising through the elevated clerestory, a cry...the heavily dilated eyes look up...
ROBERT MONROE | 25 years ago I experienced a series of inter-dimensional shifts with two past lives...Only Robert Monroe had anexplanation, discovered via his Institute's Gateway Process, used by the CIA, who of course tried to weaponize it. | When you KNOW you are more than your body, you start to dip your toe into Eternity...
