{maiden vs. (underworld-queen + overworld-queen)} =
naive-possibilism vs. (qualified-possibilism + eternalism)
My 2nd Kepler’s Law; Key Mytheme-Formula — My Brand New
“Maiden vs. Two Goddesses” Formula
My Second Kepler’s Law — or Hoffman’s 2nd Law of Mytheme Decoding:
{maiden vs. (underworld-queen + overworld-queen)} =
naive-possibilism vs. (qualified-possibilism + eternalism)
My First Kepler’s Law — or Hoffman’s Law of Mytheme Decoding:
{tree vs. snake} = possibilism vs. eternalism
The “Two Goddesses” concept is accompanied by Kore the initial maiden; it has three parts:
first, Kore, the childhood-thinking maiden; then afterwards after abduction by Hades, there are then the two goddesses:
Persephone, queen of the underworld +
adulthood-thinking Demeter, queen of the aboveground.
Three goddesses, speaking roughly — or,
The One Mortal and the Two Goddesses: Kore, Persephone, & Demeter.
My brand new formula, December 7, 2020:
{maiden vs. (underworld-queen + overworld-queen)} =
naive-possibilism vs. (qualified-possibilism + eternalism)

High Culture, regardless of how a person personally feels “I don’t like no-free-will”,
High Culture revolves around no-free-will, high mythology, is all analogies for the no-free-will revelation in the altered state.
High culture mythology is analogies for switching from possibilism to eternalism.
High culture = mythology = comprehending analogies for switching from possibilism to eternalism.

Based on the Canterbury hanging-mushroom image, and the Lesser Mysteries of Eleusis, we can assume that, of course, any brand of Mystery Religion initiation is education about the meanings of myth and mental dynamics prior to in-practice initiation.
There is a section of good mytheme-decodings below.
I pasted a Lesser Mysteries article below, to explain/rework it.
TODO:
1. Bold the key phrases.
2. Reduce/trim the below to the mythemes
3. Explain the mythemes, in terms of mental model transformation from Possibilism-thinking to Eternalism-thinking.
Initiation in bulk, a mass-production routine assembly line. Mushroom mystics’ Mystery Initiation had the intense altered state on-tap.
There’s been a cover-up! This stuff was shared common knowledge. We are recovering along with re-discovering, what used to be widely known.

LESSER ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES
https://hemlockandhawthorn.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/lesser-eleusinian-mysteries/ — I copied the page below to comment on it.
I’m on hiatus, I’m not going to clean this up. You can easily see the vector I’m pointing toward.
WE HAVE SOLVED THE MYSTERY RELIGIONS.
We can essentially explain purification to approach the Goddess.
We need more attention to the preparatory Lesser Mysteries, what was taught, book learning, as prerequisite for first-hand ingesting the mushrooms, in mystery religions.
Stop mentioning entheogens other than psilocybin mushrooms, in this context; it just confuses the plain matter.
Amanita is most notable for its shapes and colors. It’s an Honorary Psilocybe representation. Amanita represents Psilocybe.
See also entheogen scholar Carl Ruck on the Lesser Mysteries — mentioned in the above article.

Persephone’s other name is “The Maiden”!! SCORE
Ah sh*t!! I just noticed the Persephone wiki statement, “Kore” – THE MAIDEN! Total confirmation of the Egodeath theory again! Specifically, confirms the Egodeath theory’s component, Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism; …
the theory that mythemes describe ASC cognitive phenomena, by analogy blah blah
I need a snappy name/label of this “mytheme decoding” part of my theory.
The Egodeath theory includes X component.
the “mytheme decoding” theory as Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism
Not Snappy. ah well, I’m on hiatus.
See my usage of the technical term ‘maiden’ in my Canterbury article.

The whole “left vs right” convention does seem to have been standard.

{touching the snake with the right hand, without dying from fatal snake-bite} – A mind which has Eternalism-thinking is able to think about and experience the worldline of its pre-existing control-thoughts that’s frozen into the block universe, stably, without panic and control seizure and loss of control, in the altered state.
Highlighting components of that, one at a time:

{death} = cybernetic control seizure; the cancellation/ nullification/ self-cancellation/ instability of personal control; the inability to resist and control incoming thoughts from the uncontrollable source of thoughts, in the altered state, when attempting to rely on Possibilism-thinking (autonomous control power)
{fatal snake-bite} = in the altered state, seeing and experiencing the worldline of pre-set (thus uncontrollable) control-thoughts frozen in the spacetime block universe {rock}
{youth} = {maiden, kore} = initiate still thinking in terms of Naive-Possibilism.
{left limb/arm/hand/foot/leg} = childhood-suited Possibilism-thinking (specifically, Naive-Possibilism-thinking).
{right limb/arm/hand/foot/leg} = mature, Eternalism-thinking (specifically, accompanied by Qualified-Possibilism-thinking.
Qualified-Possibilism-thinking = {Persephone the ruler/queen of the underworld}
{underworld} = land of dead egos after ego-death
{snake, serpent} = non-branching worldline in the block universe
{purification of pollution, to be prepared to approach the goddess without invoking the goddess’ fury; the furies}
{approach the goddess} = think about and perceive control-thoughts entering into the mind from a hidden, uncontrollable source; also: think about and experience the worldline of the mind’s pre-existing control-thoughts that’s frozen into the block universe.
To {approach the goddess}, without undergoing {death & furies} (cybernetic control seizure; the cancellation/ nullification/ self-cancellation/ instability of personal control; panic; control seizure; and loss of control), you must be {pure, not polluted}; the mind must have Eternalism-thinking, not any remaining foolish reliance on the illusion-based Possibilism-thinking.
{pollution, impurity} = Possibilism-thinking about personal (supposedly autonomous & freewill-powered) control and time.
{furies} = cybernetic self-control seizure & panic & desperately trying to hide from/avoid seeing and looking at & invoking the {dragon monster that guards the treasure of gnosis}, as the mind is unable to resist its own source of control-thoughts, injected into the female passive thought-receiver part of the control-system of the mind.
______________
In the altered state (ASC; loose cognitive association binding), awareness can observe the workings of the personal control-system, the cybernetic steersman — and see how it is vulnerable and receiving control-thoughts from God, the hidden (more, now less hidden; “from the 8th sphere, you can look at the 9th” – Discourse on the 8th and 9th”) source of control-thoughts.

https://hemlockandhawthorn.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/lesser-eleusinian-mysteries/ — ““The ultimate design of the Mysteries […] was to lead us back to the principles from which we descended, […] a perfect enjoyment of intellectual [spiritual] good” (Plato, trans. Taylor). In the town of Eleusis, twelve miles from Athens, anyone with a desire to honor the Two Goddesses and know the truths of life and death could come to be purified in the spring and witness the Mysteries in the autumn. Tonight’s sunset marks the first day of the first half or “Lesser” of the Eleusinian Mysteries; this purification and [pre-]initiation began on the 20th day of Anthesterion, the second moon following the Winter Solstice, and ended six days later, in preparation for the ritual proper or “Greater” of the Mysteries, which takes place in Boedromion, the third moon following the Summer Solstice.
https://hemlockandhawthorn.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/lesser-eleusinian-mysteries/ — “The Lesser Mysteries were a required “preliminary purification” preceding the Greater Mysteries (Goodart, “The Lesser Mysteries of Eleusis”). Mystery initiations must be undergone in a specific order, Plutarch instructs us; “one should bear up to the first purifications and unsettling events and hope for something sweet and bright to come out of the present anxiety and confusion.” In the case of the Mysteries of Eleusis, when initiates would meet Hades’ Queen, these purifications were particularly important. “The goddess Persephone is always associated with purity,” writes Stefanie Goodart. “One of her epithets is hagne or ‘pure.’ The term ‘creates a field of forces that demands reverence and distance’ [Walter Burkert, Greek Religion]. The opening line of one of the Orphic Gold Tablets from Thurii reads: ‘Pure I come from the pure, Queen of those below.’ For a goddess whose own purity is beyond measure, one must take extra precautions when preparing one’s self.”
https://hemlockandhawthorn.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/lesser-eleusinian-mysteries/ — “The rituals during the first purifications at Eleusis were often called the myesis, “to teach, initiate,” …
… while the rituals at the Greater Mysteries were called epopteia, “to witness, be initiated.” This subtle difference in language encapsulates the differences between the two Mysteries: the Lesser was an instruction on theology and mysticism, when candidates were taught the myths of the Two Goddesses and of the sacred meaning of the Mystery rites; …
… while at the Greater Mysteries, initiates [vs candidates] experienced these rituals and walked within the myths for themselves, even being granted a vision of Persephone at the end of the week-long festival.
“Plato […] thought it not lawful for ‘the impure to touch the pure.’ … Thence the prophecies and oracles are spoken in enigmas, [don’t reveal Eternalism prematurely to youths ] and the mysteries are not exhibited incontinently to all and sundry, [dangerous to loosecog w/o theoretical reading egodeath site] but only after certain purifications and previous instructions. […] It is not then without reason that in the mysteries that obtain among the Greeks, lustrations hold the first place […] After these are the minor mysteries, which have some foundation of instruction and of preliminary preparation for what is to come after; and the great mysteries, in which nothing remains to be learned of the universe, but only to contemplate and comprehend nature and things.” — Clement of Alexandria, Stromata
https://hemlockandhawthorn.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/lesser-eleusinian-mysteries/ — “As was true of other ceremonies, one could not participate if stained with miasma, an impurity associated in Greek lore with Oedipus, for inadvertently enacting his own prophecied fate by murdering the king and marrying the queen, unknowingly therefore killing his father and marrying his mother; the House of Atreus, famously including Tartarus, Pelops, Agamemnon, Atreus, Thyestes, Menelaus, and Orestes, for various brutal murders within the family and horrific acts of violence and hubris; and Heracles, who murdered his own wife and children while mad.[look up images “the madness of heracles“] It is said that the Lesser Mysteries were created to purify Heracles of his miasma, who would not have been able to encounter Persephone and still leave the Underworld when he traveled there to defeat Cerberus during his last task (one of the many given him by Hera to absolve him of the murder of his family) without having been initiated into the Mysteries at Eleusis.
The Madness of Heracles — I posted a decoding of this when I read that good book Cyb got, around 2015. Heracles is testing and correcting his child-mode thinking. where are the fury goddesses above him?
https://hemlockandhawthorn.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/lesser-eleusinian-mysteries/ — “Additionally, writes Thomas Taylor in The Eleusinian and Bacchic Mysteries, the heroic journey and return was key to the metaphor of the mystery, that of the spiritual liberation that lies beyond death:”
Thomas Taylor — “We may observe farther concerning these dramatic shows of the Lesser Mysteries, that as they were intended to represent the condition of the soul while subservient to the body, we shall find that a liberation from this servitude, [mind trying to break away from egoic Possibilism thinking] through the purifying disciplines, potencies that separate from evil, was what the wisdom of the ancients intended to signify by the descent of Hercules, Ulysses, etc., into Hades, and their speedy return from its dark abodes. ‘Hence,’ says Proclus [in Commentary on the Statesman of Plato], ‘Hercules being purified by sacred initiations, obtained at length a perfect establishment among the gods:’ that is, well knowing the dreadful condition of his soul while in captivity to a corporeal nature, and purifying himself by practice of the cleansing virtues, of which certain purifications in the mystic ceremonies were symbolical, he at length was freed from the bondage of matter, [frustrating re-assertion of egoic thinking/mental model; childish Possibilism-thinking ] and ascended beyond her reach [mind finally constructs Eternalism and switches from Possibilism ] .”
https://hemlockandhawthorn.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/lesser-eleusinian-mysteries/ — “Lustratio, to which Clement of Alexandria refers to above (“in the mysteries that obtain among the Greeks, lustrations hold the first place,” Stromata), is a sacrificial purification ceremony and procession. In the case of the Lesser Eleusinian Mysteries, the animal offered to Persephone and Demeter was a pig for each candidate. A procession brought the initiates and their pigs to the ocean, where they bathed their sacrifice. The Lovatelli urn above depicts Heracles himself offering a pig on the eskhara, the low altar reserved for the chthonic gods (the pig was therefore intended for Persephone), and pelanoi, round cakes made from barley meal and honey offered after the pig, while a priest offers a poured libation and perhaps poppies (associated with Demeter and Persephone, and smoked by the mother in an attempt to forget her grief over Persephone’s abduction), cheese, pomegranates, or spherical cakes, all of which are said to be offered at the Mysteries (and the Bacchic rites) by Clement of Alexandria in his Exhortation to the Greeks. (Carl A.P. Ruck proposes that the priest is carrying a platter of sacred mushrooms, eliminating the opium poppies theory due to their thickness and the fact that they are depicted with unnecessary stems and without the characteristic calyx of the capsule.)
Eleusinian Mysteries, from The Eleusinian and Bacchic Mysteries by Thomas Taylor
https://hemlockandhawthorn.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/lesser-eleusinian-mysteries/ — “Myth and meaning were next taught, then (as displayed on the urn), as Demeter did while grieving Persephone, the initiate sits veiled upon a ram’s fleece. Overhead, a priestess wafts a winnowing fan as a torch passes before them. The winnowing fan (liknon) “is a type of basket used to separate the wheat from the chaff. Its connection to Demeter and Persephone, goddesses of the grain [IN MYTH, GRAIN IS NOT THE REFERENT OF GRAIN. LOOSECOG PHENOM IS.], is obvious. The action can also be described as a type of sympathetic magic. The wheat is purified, and so is the initiate. The liknon is also a common symbol in the cult of Dionysos. In such a context, separating the wheat from the chaff then becomes a metaphor for separating the soul from its outer casing, the body” [ “body” ~= Removing illusory aspects of Naive-Possibilism-thinking, leaving Qualified-Possibilism-thinking + Eternalism-thinking. ] (Goodart).
https://hemlockandhawthorn.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/lesser-eleusinian-mysteries/ — “Purified, the initiate is prepared to approach the goddess. In the final scene on the urn, Heracles approaches Demeter who is seated on the kiste, the basket holding the sacred ritual objects of the Greater Mysteries–“I fasted; I drank the draught; I took from the chest; having done my task, I placed in the basket, and from the basket into the chest” (Clement of Alexandria, Exhortation to the Greeks). Heracles reaches out his right hand [we got ourselves a right hand mytheme; Eternalism ] to touch the snake coiling from the kiste [we got ourselves a cista mystica worldline serpent-box] to the goddess’s lap, while the mystes, the successful initiate carrying a bundle of some sort, touches the snake of all divine mysteries fearlessly. [moses’ serpent on pole cures the Israelites’ fatal snakebite]Demeter is not careless, but she does not even look at Heracles in the depiction on the urn, instead gazing behind her at the return of Persephone, which she bars from Heracles’ sight, [seeing worldline = cyberdeath] just as she defends the kiste, as these are mysteries only intended to be revealed at the rituals in autumn.”
Thomas Taylor — “as the dramatic shows of the Lesser Mysteries occultly signified the miseries of the soul while in subjection to body, so those of the Greater obscurely intimated, by mystic and splendid visions, the felicity of the soul both here and hereafter, when purified from the defilements of a material nature, and constantly elevated to the realities of intellectual [spiritual] vision.”
“The founders of the mysteries had a real meaning and were not mere triflers when they intimated in a figure long ago that he who passes unsanctified and uninitiated into the world below [uneducated candidates at the psilo-therapy centers] will live in a slough, but that he who arrives there [altered state, not after bodily death] after initiation and purification [education in the Egodeath theory ] will dwell with the gods. For ‘many,’ as they say in the mysteries, ‘are the thyrsus bearers, but few are the mystics.'[only 1 in 4 students in the Image passed; undrstood intellectually, theroetically, the Egodeath theory. ]”– Plato, Phaedo
