The Sacred Mushroom: Key to the Door of Eternity

By: Andrija Puharich

Narrated by: Katrina Joyner

Length: 9 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's Summary

The audiobook describes in vivid detail Puharich's extraordinary association with Harry Stone, a young sculptor of unusually acute extrasensory perception, who on a number of occasions spontaneously went into a deep trance state and then began to speak and write in the ancient Egyptian language. Identifying himself as Ra Ho Tep, a high-born Egyptian who lived 4,600 years ago, he defined the long lost ritual of the sacred mushroom and its astonishing effects upon the human consciousness.  

But the story does not end with the Ra Ho Tep revelations, for during this period Dr. Puharich and his colleagues were actually guided to the discovery of a splendid specimen of the extremely rare Amanita Muscaria, growing in the Maine woods - less than a mile from their laboratory.  

In addition to recording these eerie personal experiences, Dr. Puharich has written a brilliant summary of the role of the sacred mushroom in history, myth, and religious experience.  

Andrija Puharich is a neurologist. After completing his studies at the medical school of Northwestern University, he set up his own laboratory in Maine for the study of extrasensory perception (ESP). A stint with the US Army at its chemical center aroused his interest in hallucination-producing mushrooms.

Narration absolutely killed it for me

The cheesy and overly dramatic narration style was so bad I didn’t make it past chapter one. Was excited to listen to this book and actually tried several times, but couldn’t get past the exaggerated and oddly robot-like speaking style. Would rather throw away the money I spent on this book than suffer through hours of listening to her.

Terrible narrator voice

Terrible narrator voice very annoying and high pitched. Totally ruins the book for listening and listeners
