Gordon Wasson's unified field theory of anthropology, connecting shamanic ecstasy with the origin of all religion, from non-western shamanism to the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece, stating that visionary experience is the primal heart and soul of religious revelation, but somewhere in the history of western civilization direct experience of the divine became the supreme heresy, taking all the religion out of religion, leaving an empty and hollow shell with no value or attraction to human kind.
