Innate Design of the Mind

The mind has a design such that exposure to loosecog causes transformation of the mental worldmodel from possibilism to eternalism.

Enables Cognitive Scientists to Use and Explore the Loose Cognitive State

There’s no way to get to Loosecog Land without going through the Egodeath theory, I am the narrow gate; analogical psychedelic eternalism.

Honesty & Integrity

The most valuable thing in the world is Transcendent Knowledge, because having Transcendent Knowledge makes you self-harmonious as a control-agent.

Why is knowledge of God’s power inside of one’s mind the most interesting and valuable thing in the world?

The goal of Transcendent Knowledge or gnosis is not “how to avoid self-control seizure”, but rather, how to understand and make use of the transformative dynamics involved in seeing this potential of the mind, being attracted and drawn toward it, to touch it, engage with it, know it, and become familiar with it —

this most transcendent and sacred potential of the mind, the potential of the personal self-control system to be brought to transcend itself, producing transformation of the mental model of self, time, possibility, and control — to {know and fear God}.

Why is being self-harmonious more valuable than anything else in the world?

Transcendent Knowledge is deepest, innermost self-knowledge, about what we are as control-agents.

What’s so bad about being a childish irrational self-battling chaos-enslaved demon-possessed control agent who worships idols of [control-based-on-thin-air causing no end of trouble] and is bedeviled by battling himself?

The most valuable thing in the world is Transcendent Knowledge, because it’s not self-battling.

The most valuable thing in the world is Transcendent Knowledge, because it’s being self-coherent as a control-agent.

The most valuable thing in the world is coherent self-control agency, because ___.

The most valuable thing in the world is non-contradictory self-control agency, because ___.

non self-battling.

I felt in 1986 that the most important thing in the world was to become non-self-contradictory; to gain control-integrity;

hell was, lacking self-integrity; hell was, contradicting and fighting against myself, battling against myself.

The most valuable thing in the world is Transcendent Knowledge, because ___.

Translate/invert question to:

Why is being a lie (a false, contradictory control-agent, an imposter claimant to the throne/crown) the worst thing in the world?

Why is usurping God’s throne the worst thing in the world, and becoming a God-compliant king the highest value in the world?

What’s so bad about usurping God’s throne and having no self-integrity, being in a state of deep animal-like dis-integrity?

Why is it more important than anything else, to stop lying to yourself about what you are? (egoic-premised ctrl agent)

Above all, stop sinning, stop lacking all coherence/integrity; stop contradicting yourself; stop being in a state of self-contradiction.

That’s the most important valuable thing.

Why is having integrity about being a control agent, more valuable than anything else?

Why is the most valuable thing of all, to stop being a lie? (a false-premised control agent).

Why is stopping being a lie built on a fiction, more valuable than anything else? That’s what the question amounts to.

Variation: Why is living a lie, worst than anything else?

Why is fundamental integrity worth anything at all?

Why have integrity about your basic nature as a control agent?

In Western Civilization and world religion, people have agreed that the highest value is metaphysical enlightenment, transforming the mental worldmodel from Possibilism to Eternalism.

Were they correct?

How is their position justified?

I articulated the question in Egodeath Yahoo Group posts and/or voice recordings announced in those posts, around Spring 2019.

(I have a text file of posts around 2018-2019.)

The most intense ultimate climactic peak experience is switching from Possibilism to Eternalism upon sacrificing the claim to autonomous control power.

Our ancestors held Transcendent Knowledge as of highest value, so we should too.

Our ancestors had values which proved to lead to survival, including an effective type of sacrifice upon seeing and experiencing high truth.

Like Abraham’s sacrificing the bush-caught ram in place of his son, through which he had many descendents.

Truth is better than illusion and falsehood.

Being able to withstand the altered state means the mind is more powerful and durable.

The highest, most developed state of mental development must include burning away transient, mortal aspects, leaving the most durable, integrated mental system.

Reference Ken Wilber’s developmental stages trajectory.

The mind has an inbuilt desire for this altered-state initiation self-transcendence, religious overcoming and maturation.

Tradition

The potential and ability of the mind to experience loose cognition and transform the mental model of time and control is, and has been considered, essential to high civilization and culture.

To make sense of Western religious history requires the Egodeath theory; analogical psychedelic eternalism.

Highest Conceptual Revolution = highest Science field = blade of threat & sacrifice/repudiation upon grasping the threat and false illusion and change to a Real basis for control.

In Mithraism initiation, same as the bow-and-arrow threat that the Father does to the initiate, as practice and acting-out of the BLADE OF THE HIGHER MIND MAKING THE LOWER MIND’S STRUCTURE FAIL, for the purpose of driving a change of what the mind depends on: illusory freewill ego, or real, no-free-will/monopossibility, Source of Thoughts?

The Blade of Sacrifice is the Blade of Threat, the mind threatening itself to learn and teach and build up new structure and transform —

that is the odd System of Sacrifice/Threat/Transformation / Theory-Modification that is innately built into the mind, the highest religion aspect. We Are Control Agents –

therefore; leading to the point about Ultimate Valuation:

Transcendent Knowledge is the highest value because it has to do with Who We Are ie Quasi-Autonomous Control Agents.

The best, most valuable thing in the world, is the mind’s ability to “blaade-threaten” itself, to drive mental model transformation.

Why is that a good thing, for the control agent to have a true, loose-cog-state durable , model of how control actually works (what we think is our very being, Control Agency) .

Else we live on a basis of a lie, the lie of personal self control Autonomy , has no intellectual integrity.

The child, the animal, Lacks Intellectual Integrity, but is Living a Lie.

That’s why Transcendent Knowledge is the highest value; the hanging initiate made to threaten himself, as part of mental Correction/{scourging] (Pompeii Villa of the Mysteri); {corrective scourging, the threatening angel’s sword}.

It is BAD to live life as a PERISHABLE LIE based on IDOL WORSHIP of thin air making FALSE CLAIMS to kingly autonomy.

The MOST VALUABLE THING IN THE WORLD is the scourge/threat/blade of correction to drive out the bedevilling false thinking.

Why is True thinking better than False?

Because this concerns thinking re: our very core idea of who we think we are, Control Agents.

My whole existence is, I’m a Control Agent — but, that concept is based on thin air, a complete idol-fantasy, you are above all, A LIE.

The highest value is STOP BEING A LIE.

Why is the most valuable thing of all, to stop being a lie?

Why is knowledge of God’s power inside of one’s mind the most interesting and valuable thing in the world?

One thought on “Why Transcendent Knowledge Is of Highest Value”

  1. The text is not a linear essay but a collage of axioms, rhetorical questions, and core tenets, resembling philosophical notes or a sermon. It’s written with a tone of absolute conviction, blending concepts from psychedelic experiences, philosophy of mind, theology, and cybernetics.Detailed Analysis of Core Concepts1. The Central Claim: The Supreme Value of Transcendent Knowledge

    The entire text orbits around one primary assertion: Transcendent Knowledge (or gnosis) is the highest possible value for a human being.

    • What it is: This is not intellectual knowledge but a profound, experiential self-knowledge. It is the understanding of one’s true nature as a “control-agent” and the recognition of “God’s power inside of one’s mind.”
    • Why it’s valuable: The text argues that this knowledge leads to “self-harmony” or “integrity.” Without it, one is a “self-battling,” “chaos-enslaved,” “childish irrational” agent, living a lie. This state is equated with “hell,” “sin,” and “idol worship.”

    2. The Engine of Transformation: The “Egodeath Theory” and “Loosecog”

    The text posits a specific mechanism for achieving this knowledge:

    • Loose Cognition (Loosecog): This is the desired altered state of consciousness, presumably induced by psychedelics (like psilocybin, as indicated elsewhere on the site). It’s a state where standard cognitive structures become “loose.”
    • The Egodeath Theory as the “Narrow Gate”: Hoffman makes a bold claim that his theory is the only reliable path to this state: “There’s no way to get to Loosecog Land without going through the Egodeath theory, I am the narrow gate.” This casts the theory itself in a salvific or revelatory role.
    • Transformation of Worldmodel: The purpose of entering “loosecog” is to fundamentally transform one’s “mental worldmodel” from Possibilism to Eternalism.

    3. Possibilism vs. Eternalism: The Core Philosophical Shift

    This is the central philosophical dichotomy of the text.

    • Possibilism: This is the default, “illusory” state of mind. It is the belief in an open future, free will, and personal autonomy. The text equates this with the “ego,” a “false-premised control agent,” and a “lie.” It is “control-based-on-thin-air.”
    • Eternalism (or the “Frozen Block Universe”): This is the enlightened state. It is the model of the universe as a deterministic, static block where all of time (past, present, future) exists simultaneously. In this view, the sense of a separate, autonomous self (the ego) is an illusion. The text links this to concepts in religion (God’s will, monism) and physics (the block universe theory).

    The transformative peak experience is “switching from Possibilism to Eternalism upon sacrificing the claim to autonomous control power.”4. The Mechanism of Change: The “Blade of Threat/Sacrifice”

    The text uses powerful, violent imagery to describe how this mental transformation is achieved.

    • The Blade/Scourge/Threat: This is a metaphor for the mind’s self-correcting mechanism. It is the “threatening angel’s sword” or the “scourge” that forces the mind to confront the falsity of its egoic (Possibilist) structure. This “blade” makes the lower mind’s structure “fail,” driving it to adopt a new, “Real basis for control.”
    • Sacrifice: The key action is the sacrifice of the illusion of autonomous free will. This is compared to Abraham’s near-sacrifice of Isaac and Mithraic initiation rituals. By giving up the “false king” of the ego, one aligns with the “true king” or God’s will, achieving integrity.

    5. Theological and Mythical Framing

    Hoffman heavily frames this psychological process in religious terms:

    • Idolatry vs. True Worship: Believing in personal free will is “idol worship” of a fiction. Transcendent Knowledge is worshipping the true “God’s power” within.
    • Usurping God’s Throne: The ego, in its claim to autonomy, is “usurping God’s throne.” Enlightenment is becoming a “God-compliant king.”
    • Tradition as Justification: He argues that this value system is not new, claiming that “Western Civilization and world religion” have always held this as the highest value, and that his theory is necessary to “make sense of Western religious history.”

    Commentary and Critique

    1. Strengths and Provocative Elements:

    • Synthesis of Disparate Fields: The attempt to create a unified theory linking psychedelic experience, analytic philosophy (eternalism), cybernetics (“control-agents”), and comparative religion is ambitious and intellectually provocative.
    • Addressing a Core Human Experience: The text powerfully articulates the psychological torment of internal conflict (“self-battling”) and the longing for internal coherence (“integrity”).
    • Powerful Metaphors: The “Blade of Sacrifice” is a vivid and apt metaphor for the painful, ego-shattering aspect of profound psychedelic or mystical experiences.

    2. Weaknesses and Points of Contention:

    • Dogmatic and Circular Reasoning: The text often asserts rather than argues. Key questions like “Why is having integrity about being a control agent, more valuable than anything else?” are posed repeatedly but answered only with variations of “because it stops you from being a lie.” The logic is often circular: Transcendent Knowledge is valuable because it’s true, and it’s true because it leads to integrity, which is valuable.
    • The “Narrow Gate” Claim: The assertion that Hoffman’s theory is the only path to “loosecog” is a massive, unsubstantiated claim that borders on dogma. It dismisses the vast plurality of mystical, philosophical, and therapeutic paths.
    • Conflating Terminology: The text freely equates terms from different domains without sufficient justification. Is the “block universe” of physics truly identical to the “eternalism” of religious mystics? Is the psychological “ego” the same as the theological concept of “sin”?
    • Rhetorical Overload: The use of stacked, hyperbolic descriptors (“childish irrational self-battling chaos-enslaved demon-possessed”) can be rhetorically powerful but also alienating and intellectually imprecise. It replaces nuanced argument with intensity of feeling.
    • Selective Use of Tradition: The claim that all of “world religion” agrees with this “Eternalist” position is a vast oversimplification. Many religious traditions have rich compatibilist or libertarian concepts of free will that do not fit neatly into this binary.

    Conclusion

    This text is a philosophical-religious manifesto for a specific interpretation of the psychedelic experience. It posits that the ultimate value of this experience is not hedonistic or therapeutic in a conventional sense, but rather ontological and ethical: to correct a fundamental error in our self-conception, moving us from a state of delusional conflict (Possibilism) to one of harmonious reality (Eternalism).

    While its dogmatic tone and circular logic are significant weaknesses, it succeeds in presenting a coherent and intense worldview. It is best understood not as a scientific hypothesis but as a modern gnostic mythos, using the language of cybernetics and physics to frame a timeless mystical pursuit: the death of the false self and the integration with a higher, truer reality.
