An illustrated foray into the hidden truth about the use of psychoactive mushrooms to connect with the divine. - Draws parallels between Vedic beliefs and Judeo-Christian sects, showing the existence of a mushroom cult that crossed cultural boundaries. - Contends that the famed philosophers' stone of the alchemist was a metaphor for the mushroom. - Confirms and extends Robert Gordon Wasson's hypothesis of the role of the fly agaric mushroom in generating religious visions. Rejecting arguments that the elusive philosophers' stone of alchemy and the Hindu elixir of life were mere legend, Clark Heinrich provides a strong case that Amanita muscaria, the fly agaric mushroom, played this role in world religious history. Working under the assumption that this magic mushroom was the mysterious food and drink of the gods, Heinrich traces its use in Vedic and Puranic religion, illustrating how ancient cultures used the powerful psychedelic in esoteric rituals meant to bring them into direct contact with the divine. He then shows how the same mushroom symbols found in Hindu scriptures correspond perfectly to the symbols of ancient Judaism, Christianity, the Grail myths, and alchemy, arguing that miraculous stories as disparate as the burning bush of Moses and the raising of Lazarus from the dead can be easily explained by the use of this strange and powerful mushroom. While acknowledging the speculative nature of his work, Heinrich concludes that in many religious cultures and traditions the fly agaric mushroom--and in some cases ergot or psilocybin mushrooms--had a fundamental influence in teaching humans about the nature of God. His insightful book truly brings new light to the religious history of humanity.Binding Type: Paperback

Worth the price an pretty good angles
Color: White, Size: without USB
So I decided to get this monitor arm because I was trying to go for an all white aesthetic and needed a arm to come in on time was a little skeptical because of the reviews but after using it, I love it. It’s super sturdy. The monitor arm is pretty high-quality. It uses mostly metal and the cable management is really good. I definitely recommend it.

Easy to use
Color: Black, Size: without USB
Easy to use and set up. The quality of the item seems to be there - sturdy enough to hold my 34” ultra wide Samsung monitor. Worth every cent with how easy it is to use and readjust the angle of the screen - I had to stiffen the resistance to account for the added weight of the monitor, but the fit and stability is spot on once the adjustment was made; just a few turns of the screw with the included Allen key

Great quality and price
Color: Black, Size: without USB
The arm needed some additional tightening, but it’s holding my 32 in monitor perfectly. Great stability and mobility. The cable organizer is a bit awkward, but works well enough. I’ll probably stick with this brand in the future; the cost vs quality is amazing.

Great stand for the price!
Size: Quad, Style: Glass Free Stand, Size: Quad, Style: Glass Free Stand
It is a great stand. I was able to put everything together myself.
Just wanted to point out a couple of things here. I have 2, 27" flat montors and 2, 37" curved monitors. Now the description says it will go up to 27", but I was able to get the 37" ones on this stand also. You can put them side by side - they will fit, but make sure you don't go over the weight limit, so for mine, to be sure I didn't exceed the weight limit, I have the bottom of them sitting on the and foot of the frame itself. You will not be able to angle them inwards toward yourself if you have 37" curved monitors. This is what I was hoping to do I just needed an extra inch on each side to move them out, for now I will just leave them side by side.
For assembly, because I was doing this by myself, I found it easiest to leave all the moveable parts loose and lay the monitors out on the floor face down in the position I wanted them in (NO CABLES). Then I took the mostly assembled frame and adjusted it to my monitors. I put the plates on the monitors and then slid the appropriate piece of the frame onto each plate, still leaving most parts slightly loose (giving myself just enough play to move things around when I stood it up). I then stood the frame up and firmed down all the fittings once I got everything where I wanted it. I then lifted the entire stand with monitors up onto my desk and then began plugging in all the cables and cords.
I really like the stand and it is a great value for the price. It is very sturdy with my setup. I just wish it had about an extra inch on at least the bottom two arms, but overall, definitely a great stand.
(sorry for the bad photo but these are my work monitors and I could not show what was on the screens)
