John Rush with Lifted Garment

John Rush asserted in his book: lifted garment in Christian art = the mushroom altered state.

The Student Who Passes the Exam

Abraham Sacrificing Isaac

Gate-Guarding Angel with Flaming Sword Ejects Newbie Initiates from Eden Garden Containing the Tree of Golden Apples that Grant Immortality – Non-Initiate Psilocybin Clinic Therapist Posers Ejected

Shield, Touching Non-Branching Tree

For the above artist:

• Branching = left = instability of personal control system in altered state = foolishness.
• Non-branching = right = stability of personal control system in altered state = wisdom.

Bestiary Salamander “Dancing Man”[sic]

Self-Stabbing Red Man in Hanging-from-Mushroom Image

Dionysus’ Triumph

Folio 49 – Billowing Holy Spirit Garment Lifting

[9:17 a.m. December 13, 2020] — Check John Rush book re: garment erection. I propose that this theme of Christian art with garment lifted, and looking back and up to the right, is equivalent to Greek art with billowing cloth.

Rush’s comment: “The Angel Gives John the Book to Eat, Douce Apocalypse, 1265-1270 CE  Notice the angel represents the stalk of the mushroom-cloud from which he or she emerges, and the celestial erection in John’s cape once he eats the “book.””

Experiment to run; hypothesis: in Greek & Christian art, the billowing cloth indicating the the Holy Spirit altered state is usually to the left; to the figure’s right side.
