I came across this article which I found pretty interesting:

Benny Shanon – Moses and Entheogens?

What do you guys think?

seems reasonable, given moses was raised an egyptian prince, and as such would have been very well versed in egyptian mysticism (acts 7:22).

given the distinct possibility that egyptians ritualistically used acacia as an entheogen.

i would think it is entirely plausible.

the furless apes have been using these substances since prehistory.
so i don't think its totally outrageous that some of the furless apes with the more extraordinary spiritual tales were under the influence

Seems not only reasonable but the most logical explanation. The Bible seems to be riddled with psychoactive materials and experiences. Moses and Acacia, Jesus and Holy Anointing Oil, Job and Ergot, mushrooms, even the gifts given to Jesus at birth were psychoactive - Frankincense is psychoactive and Myrrh might be potentiated with other materials. Now if only most "Christians" knew this information...
Let us declare nature to be legitimate. All plants should be declared legal, and all animals for that matter. The notion of illegal plants and animals is obnoxious and ridiculous.

It is interesting. It is possible. Though might there be more?

If DMT gives us access to a realm with entities, might not denizens of that realm have access to the earth physical, on occasion? Surely that is possible.

Some writers have proposed a UFO connection with the Moses-Bible narrative. See the thoroughly well educated Barry Downing:

Now I am not saying I subscribe to the opinions in Mr Barry's best seller. Not at all! And I am wholly conscious that conspiracy theories are a no-no on here...and Hurrah for that. So I will offer this next link for your consideration because Plasma Science is (relatively) new and a very exciting area of research which some have considered as a possible theory/answer to the Moses mystery. It's well worth a read and I am sure it does not fall foul of the attitude rules against conspiracy theories.

Edit: Now I am worried about a moderator breathing down my neck, if I post. Could Plasma Theory be conspiracy? Ooooo, I am on a knife edge here. Damn it, I will post!!
