Minimizing dosage by having an explicit modern theory

Does the book The Immortality Key say the ancients used low doses?

How does he justify using low doses now, when the ancients report extreme experiences (through text and images) – mania, panic, madness, ecstasy, storms, possession, exorcism, angels threatening death, desperate prayer for miraculous rescue, the ruler turned to stone, and heroic epic battles with dragon/snake monsters?

To see the divine is to experience intense death, they report. Some of this describes the reported experiencing in the Mysteries of Eleusis.

Too much of the 20x watered-down mixed wine would make you insane and kill you (per some accounts), if not spiritually completely regenerate you.

How does the author defend this disparity and contradiction in dosage levels?

______________

The explicit modern scientific theory of Egodeath explains mythology without depending on mythology for its explanatory power.

With the Egodeath theory in hand, laid out efficiently on a silver platter, the minimum possible dosage levels are needed (mild-to-moderate), to successfully drive the experiencing of mental model transformation from Possibilism to Eternalism.

______________

The modern music which best describes loose cognitive experiencing is intense: Psychedelic Rock, Heavy Metal, or Acid-Inspired Rock.

The word ‘psychedelic’ has been domesticated and defanged, like 1-time microdosing in a government clinic, fed a bureaucrat’s weekend-retreat shallow platitude religion, gatekeeping, neither entering into the gated garden of God the creator, nor allowing their victims to enter in.

The hapless “patient”, the mark, the victim, the patsy, is given a flimsy, accursed beginners’ version of religion, that will collapse into paralysis the moment the real spirit of the sacrament reveals its power, yet-to-be resolved, with no help from the clinic of ignorance and folly other than cliche catch-words: ‘spiritual oneness’, ‘nonduality’.

Inflated Claims of Results, Inadequate Qualifications

This gross inadequacy of the clinicians’ syllabus for directing “patients” doesn’t prevent such clinics of folly from bragging about providing ultimate revelation and peak experience; “delivering profound mystical experience”, a method that “maximizes spiritual breakthrough”, their scientists having already done “what the Greek and Christian Mysteries were never able to accomplish in antiquity”.

Those are grand claims. Can they stand up to scrutiny in the face of being tested and overpowered by the Holy Spirit? I’ve already made fools of empty bragging Meditation hucksters, who promise the world and never deliver any enlightenment to anyone, and then when caught out, deny that they claimed anything more for ‘enlightenment’ than a mere relaxation technique (and why must I be such a naysayer and de-legitimate popular spirituality?)

There’s an argumentation fallacy, of covertly and inconsistently moving from a position that’s near-impossible to defend, to a position that’s unimpressively modest and easily defensible, while pretending you didn’t change your position.

What are these clinics claiming? One moment it’s all about safety-first, low doses for mundane treatments, and the next, it’s about the peak revelation of ultimate profound experiencing, better than Isis and her mystery religion. I can’t bear to watch her fury.

“Today’s scientists have now solved the critical flaws of the religion with no name: safety, reliability, and scalability.
“Delivering a profound mystical experience
in the most cautious [safe] way possible,
as effectively [reliably] as possible,
to the most number of people possible.
“The technology is all there: a safe, pharmaceutical-grade hallucinogen and a finely-tuned protocol that maximizes spiritual breakthrough while minimising risk.
— Muraresku, The Key of Immortality

Don’t let Muraresku get away with weasely evasive language in his claims, for him to play games with moving the goalpost claims. Demand precision commensurate with his grand-sounding claims.

Pin him down: What exactly are you claiming to provide, to what extent? In what exact ways are you claiming to be better, with “more efficacy”, than Mystery Religions?

“Maximizes breakthrough while” is a Wasson-like mealy-mouthed evasive construct, a shield to provide plausible deniability, to allow covertly moving the goalpost. “I only claimed that I’d deliver as much breakthrough as safety permits” vs. “I provide maximum breakthrough”.

“A profound experience” and “reliable” are also vague, evasive, deceitful, manipulative word-constructions. I provide a profound mystic experience, and my methods are more safe and reliable than Mystery Religion — ok, but are you specifically making the claim that you provide as much or more breakthrough than Mystery Religion did?

Brushing aside the legal analysis of Muraresku’s individual claim-words, clearly Muraresku is asserting the general superiority of his system over Mystery Religion: he praises the “psychopharmacologists and clinical psychiatrists at Hopkins and NYU” for “somehow doing what the Greek and Christian Mysteries were never able to accomplish in antiquity.” Accursed hubris.

Muraresku’s 3 goals are correct, if considered as goals — but in his asking for money, he proudly claims that “today’s scientists have now solved the flaws of [mystical and therapeutic] religion”, having already developed a scientific way, superior to the pre-moderns, to routinely simultaneously provide everyone with both of two opposed criteria: cautious safe; and “a”(?) profound mystical spiritual breakthrough.

Ah that little weasley “a” wildcard. Let Muraresku try to get away with instead writing: “Delivering THE profound mystical experience”. He can’t do it, not with a couple low-dose sessions and lacking the Egodeath theory. That key aspect of his underspecified braggadocio, he loses and cannot claim.

He cannot claim that his method provides THE profound mystical experience and FULL maximizing of spiritual breakthrough BETTER than Mystery Religion (not even as well as, not by a long shot).

I cannot claim that the Egodeath theory is safe; for safety, there’s no firm foundation but God’s will. Muraresku’s goal is sensible as a goal, but as an accomplished goal, such a claim requires qualification; circumscription.

It’s also a hope, an aspiration, an objective, a research area of investigation. Hardly a settled scientific accomplishment.

They have defined some safety protocols. But they do not yet know how to engage and reconcile the worldline dragon of pre-set non-control which guards this fruit that they claim to already have snatched from the ancients and their gods.

They crown themselves with the laurel wreath prematurely. They not only greatly overestimate their progress through the game, they claim to have completed the game, which the ancients did not complete:

Muraresku praises the “psychopharmacologists and clinical psychiatrists at Hopkins and NYU” as having already done “what the Greek and Christian Mysteries were never able to accomplish in antiquity.”
– Muraresku, The Immortality Key, p. 387

Being a modern explicit systematic non-metaphor-based theory, the Egodeath theory represents a certain kind of advance over the pre-modern expression of Transcendent Knowledge.

The efficacy and safety of the Egodeath theory is comparable to, and is joinable with, Mystery Religion.

The efficacy and safety of the professional clinicians fails to be comparable to Mystery Religion, and God-mode thinking will be upset at the trespassing and affront, the filth of sin that these unregenerate, unbaked clinicians and their newbie patients bring into the sacred realm of loose cognitive experiencing, so long as they lack Transcendent Knowledge per the Egodeath theory.

The problems of efficacy and safety are interconnected. Suppose we omit the requirement for safety and low dosage. Even then, the efficacy won’t be achieved, regardless of safety or dosage, unless the Egodeath theory is present; Transcendent Knowledge.

Summarizing the professional therapists’ solution to the unresolved, suppressed problem of “The Shadow”:
o  Lower the dosage.
o  Restrict the number of sessions.
o  Prevent access to the altered state.
o  Increase the percentage of positive spiritual catchphrases.

That will, as they say, “maximize breakthrough while staying safe” and provide, once, “a profound experience”.  Mystery Religion btfo’d!

That sounds like Wilber’s book The Atman Project: provide a substitute that will prevent transcendence.  Seek transcendence in ways that prevent it. 

They could do the Stan Grof move of switching to hyperventilation, while retaining the loftiest claims.

The therapists are taking on a truly difficult tradeoff, an inherent tension between safety vs. effectiveness at delivering breakthrough regeneration.  It is the highest claim in the world, that your scientists have already solved this difficult problem, this inherent conflict.  If you err too much on safety-first, no major breakthrough occurs.

A big variable is whether they have the Egodeath theory in hand: you can first in the ordinary tight cognitive binding state, intellectually (not yet experientially) learn about the dangers (the dragon worldline non-control experience) and the established successful responses (prayer for trust, and acknowledging dependent control).

“The technology is all there” in the Egodeath theory’s modern scientific explicit presentation of Transcendent Knowledge.

The “finely-tuned protocol” is to look for the experience of time and control as Eternalism and test and feel control-power within that experiential mode.

Ultimate Spiritual Truth is experiencing that God is the author and pre-creator of everyone’s thoughts. People should help people experience that. But a dry-well clinic with authorities who have little authority and who restrict access to others is a poor attempted approach, given the sometimes magnitude of the claims.

Anyone who comes away from this authorized clinic with a low-dose beginner’s experience, if lacking the Egodeath theory, will be completely unequipped to engage the dragon of block-universe worldline pre-existence, non-control, profound conscious dependence, cybernetic death, and transcendent reset from outside the system of personal control.

So ill-equipped, the person will be ejected in terror, from a genuine engagement with the real, intense loose cognitive state, having only experienced guaranteed-safe low doses that deliver only a preliminary feeling of oneness and unity with God, guided by vague catch-phrases about nonduality, that when tested against a real, repeated immersion, prove to be no defense against “the shadow“.

The result is the feeling of a greatest treasure of gnosis remaining out of reach, guarded and blocked by the danger of the guarding dragon, the person shut out from the garden by the angel of death with flaming sword.

How to reliably obtain peak breakthrough (as they claim), cautiously and safely (as they claim) — that is the delicate issue which they claim that their scientists have already solved, without the Egodeath theory — and solved better than ancient Mystery Religion ever accomplished.

But these scientists do not have understanding of Mystery Religion and its danger and its trembling regenerative prayer through which personal control is reconfigured and restored. They do not know how to give birth, only how to do foreplay.

The bureaucratic clinicians’ method is accursed, not blessed from on high: if they are equipped only with their scientists’ accomplishments to date (claimed to be already complete, and more effective than Antiquity, and safer), they will fail to deliver gnosis and mental model transformation from Possibilism to Eternalism, regardless of whether their protocol is cautiously safe and low-dose.

The patient is barely toasted, rather than having fully burned away the offensive-to-God, incoherent, mortal, transient, volatile dirt of sin.

The microdose produces micro-spirit micro-transformation and leaves the “patient” unequipped for actual reckoning with the threatening dragon, the encounter with the angel of death.

The shadow bedeviling the clinic, kept at bay by keeping the overpowering spirit at bay, is the dread spacetime worm, the block-universe worldline dragon which threatens to test, subvert, and insurrect the power of self-control – loss of the sense of autonomous self-control, a fearsome and tremulous cybernetic death of the controller, the king, the steersman, the helmsman, the chariot driver, the ship pilot.

________________

The word ‘acid’ retains its taboo-charged, too-intense character. Could one ever say “Use acid in moderation”? Real religion, not ersatz spirituality schemed by committee, has such inherent intensity: could one ever say “Be slain in the spirit in moderation”? Could one ever say “Fall down before the angel of death in moderation”?

The very term exudes Dionysian aweful overpowering and transcendent religious Panic.

Intense Loosecog Rock uses analogies describing the loose cognitive state changing the experiential mental model of time and control from the Possibilism to the Eternalism model; from the branching-possibilities tree model of time, control, and possibility, to the monocoursal pre-set, frozen snake-shaped worldline of personal thoughts, frozen into the spacetime rock, the rock tomb of birth into new life, as if to shift the axis of the fate-ruled sphere of the fixed stars.

Intense Loosecog Rock focuses on describing the experiences and perspectival insights of the loose cognitive state, describing and prodding and suggesting by descriptive analogies, the altered-state loose cognition experiences of self-control Cybernetics and non-control; and of block universe frozen-time Eternalism/pre-determinism with the snake-shaped pre-existing worldline of the person’s thought and control.

_______________

Some people advocate no-free-will, such as Sam Harris and hyper-Calvinists. Many people seem highly averse and close-minded to no-free-will.

Every person is dead-set against no-free-will, recoiling like a demon seeing a crucifix (the disempowered king fastened to the de-branched possibilities-tree). Every self-respecting moral person must reject any such theory of religion. It is anathema, a horrific idea, that completely flies in the face of all that we are, as control agents.

Embracing the idea of no-free-will would completely destroy our model of time and control and moral culpability. It is unthinkable and must not, cannot be allowed.

It is theologically offensive, denying duality of God and Satan, denying two powers in heaven, blaming God for all creatures’ thoughts and actions, as if he is master of puppets, king over kings, control agent controlling the control agents. As if God is the creator of all of Satan’s thoughts.

Arminian/Pelagian Calvinism is acceptable to the confused, animal-like mind, but not such hyper- hyper-Calvinism, which is the most frightening and horrific thought, an offensive nightmare of a theology.

Satan: The Early Christian Tradition
Jeffrey Russell, 1987
If I recall, this is the book that covers the problem of dualism of God and Satan excellently, clearly, and profoundly, even though that’s not evident at a glance.
