This is an excerpt from Sky Gods and the Recipe for Immortality: The secret influence of psychoactivity over science, society, and the supernatural.

From the ancient Israelites to the Aboriginals, Maya, Renaissance cults, and beyond — countless societies have invoked supernatural and psychoactive ideas across time and space. Shamans, priests, pharaohs, and heretical scientists have proclaimed divine contact for millennia. However, what is the objective truth?

A perplexing 2022 study considers the geopolitical ramifications of supernatural contact. Or as Forbes reported:

“The authors — affiliated with the Penn State Extraterrestrial Intelligence Center as well as NASA — come up with three recommendations for how the world should deal with the detection of intelligent life…

Their major worry was that nations may seek to gain an information monopoly on communications with any alien intelligence. They point out that such attempts could lead to international conflict.”

This supernatural and speculative theory may explain religious and spiritual warfare over the past few millennia.
