The Immortality Key by Brian C. Muraresku - The Secret History of the Religion with No Name

Brian C. Muraresku’s 2020 book The Immortality Key: The Secret History of the Religion with No Name investigates whether the foundations of Western spirituality may be rooted in ancient psychedelic rites. Drawing from archaeology, chemistry, and classical studies, Muraresku follows a trail of evidence suggesting that the Eleusinian Mysteries and early Christian communities may have used psychoactive sacraments to provoke direct mystical experience. Centered on the idea that altered states once stood at the heart of religious initiation, the book proposes that visionary communion — not doctrine — shaped the earliest forms of Western faith. At its core is the search for a lost sacrament, a key that may once have bridged the human mind with the divine. 0:00 The Immortality Key & the Lost Psychedelic Origins of Religion 1:16 Inside the Eleusinian Mysteries: Greece’s Secret Visionary Rite 2:40 The Kykeon: Was the Sacred Drink Actually Psychoactive? 4:51 Evidence of Ancient Entheogens (Ergot, Alkaloids, Ritual Chemistry) 6:57 Did Psychedelic Rituals Shape the First Christians? 8:03 The Gnostic Revolt: Direct Experience vs. Institutional Control 9:40 Why Visionary Traditions Were Suppressed for Centuries 11:14 Modern Revival: Psychedelics, Science & the Return of the Mysteries 12:43 Final Insight: Why These Mysteries Still Matter Today
