Joe Rogan on Christmas, Santa Claus, and Mushrooms

I made this quick video because I am tired of trying to explain this theory to my friends, and Rogan does a great job. The audio is from Episode 162 of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' Podcast, with Daniele Bolelli and Brian Redban

I had to stop listening to Joe for about a year. I became obsessed. I spent hundreds of hours researching the stuff that he would talk about about. His theories are 99% dead on. I took time off to let it sink in and observe. I came back today after seeing him on The Tonight Show with Ron Paul. How fucking awesome! Coincidence?? This guy is one of the most brilliant thinkers probably on the entire planet earth now. A living buddha?? It's like he gets 10X's smarter every year.

Santa, move the n. He keeps a list of good, and evil, children are encouraged to pray to him, he lives where there is no land, his name is old st.nick, a name used for Satan, and rewards good deeds with material goods. not to mention, he enters the homes thru fire.

try smoking the resin after eating a small amount of amanita you will trip harder and lighter than you ever had at the same time... unbelieveable clarity of mind that just explodes into this super vulnerable state... best body buzz ever....dome like indian type structures breifly appear in the third eye the world grows an eerie red tinge of vulnerability zig zag translucent energy waves shoot up and down getting ready to blast you off it you take more... be careful this is it

The tradition of stockings originated with St. Nicholas. Legend had it he would give gold to the poor, and would conceal the gold in a family's drying stockings. The tree, and the lights on it, originate in the Pagan tradition of burning a tree during the Winter Solstice. Christmas as a tradition originated as Christianity's attempt to subjugate existing Pagan traditions. Didn't have nearly as much to do with mushrooms as the video asserts.

@sprookafook After a comment like that, you advise me on growth?? LOL

[sprookafook]

@maxmagraw i think its what every one should be doing. I smoked, went back to college. got A's in M.E. then dropped out becuase of mj... there are an infinite ways to apply yourself to reality. He is a perfect example of what that means. today's society doesn't believe in old and wise (speaking as a spirit who happens to live in the united states (lower case on purpose)). They believe in old and annoying, wasting space. Things are changing, and it is exciting! I'm old based on 18/19 yr old's. :)

@ninjacat777 yea anyone can research and have an opened mind. At least he gives credibility

[cooper9934]

@maxmagraw It's the mushrooms man!

[TikiKid]

Presents under the Pine Tree. WOW

[ninjacat777]

@maxmagraw Joe has said many times that he is not smart...just that he is good at repeating information that smart people have figured out.

[Electrorules]

There were no magic mushrooms on my tree :(

[ra2day]

@maxmagraw Best Leno I'd ever seen

[hopsicle20]

The amanita is a favorite by the christmas reindeer, being that they have more stomachs the mushroom effects them more so and makes them feel like theyr flying...[aka Fly Agaric]

[KnowledgeSeeker5000]

@maxmagraw I agree

[TheClutchHand]

@MrAnymeansnecessary Just because what he says doesn't fit with your moral higher ground doesn't make it untrue.

[RhymesWithPorridge]

So far this is no better than a conspiracy theory. It needs a hell of a lot more than coincidental evidence before it will be remotely convincing.

[yeshuahfullofit]

Just take a gander at the book of revelations, which was purportedly written on the island of Patmos. Patmos is famous for it's psilocybin mushrooms. If you eat enough, you too may see a bitch riding atop a ten-headed dragon. ; )

[DrownedCarcass88]

the mushroom does have a huge significance in religions and cultures around the world. terrence mckenna said that the origin of religion was created through the use of psilocybin (magic mushrooms) even today you still see the mushroom theme alive and well in the use of turbans, buildings, and other material ways.

[certifiedpet]

You can also draw parallels with flying reindeer since wild reindeer were known to eat the mushroom and prance around in an intoxicated manner afterwards. I believe many myths and even religions have been spawn by psychedelics.

[alexicon89]

Coca cola generalised the look.

There were a ton of different looking santa's everywhere.

Well santa-ish things / celebratory characters, some werent evne human.

That is interesting food for thought (no pun intended). I will now, going forward, work on the premise that communion wafers are made from amanita mushrooms, after all that would actually explain a lot.
