A reading of the Gospel of Judas shows that hallucinogens, and the exploration of the metaphysical self, were key (forgotten/censored) parts of the Christian biblical experience as well.

This book was rejected for good reasons: it is a late and unhistorical production of a fringe Gnostic sect featuring unbiblical beliefs. https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/1266-is-the-gospel...
It's a darn shame Revelations wasn't rejected for the same reasons.
Maybe the temptation to start the book with the creation of the world and end it with its destruction was too much to resist?
Could've ended with Genesis chapter 7 then, and saved the world a whole lotta grief.
