3 Corroborating Domains: the Cybernetic Theory; Rock Lyrics; Religious Mythology
Acid-inspired Rock lyrics corroborate:
- The Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence (psychedelic eternalism).
- The Mytheme theory (the “analogical psychedelic eternalism/pre-existence” theory of religious mythology).
- The Entheogen Theory of Religious Mythology, including mushrooms in Christian art.
History of the Egodeath Theory
1985-1997 – Core theory; the Cybernetic theory
- Heyday of lyrics decoding.
- Relatively little myth-decoding activity.
- ~1986, started decoding “eaten scrolls” in Revelation.
- ~1987, read book Up from Eden by Wilber. Has a poor attempt to use mythology (no psychedelic eternalism).
- ~1995, read Gnosis magazine set, ~1995 (to the final issue around 1999).
1988-1994 – early decoding of lyrics
1998-2006-2013-2020 – Mytheme decoding in religious mythology
Shock Wave (Black Sabbath)
Key Words in Black Sabbath – Shock Wave Lyrics
for non-commercial use; scholarly analysis of mystic sh!t
can’t escape fate
chosen
rising in sky
you’re going to die
Drink blood brew
cheat this master
You’re on your own
going through
has taken over your mind
you think you’re on your own
Don’t believe you are the only one here
Look around, you’re not alone — god controller phallus injecting control thoughts
Feel the forces from another world
Ghostly shadows fill your mind
power over you
freeze, your life in time
Look behind you
Somebody’s calling
Someone is near
there is nothing you can do
Ghostly shadows from the other world
forces in your mind — god controller phallus injecting control thoughts
Trapped between the worlds of life and death
Frozen in the realms of time — eternalism
Look behind you
You feel yourself falling, you’re at the end of the line
Your body is crawling — crawling on floor to get low to avoid having the high view of the personal control system , to try to avoid seeing control-loss vortex
running through your brain

No One at the Bridge (Rush)
Before I cracked the code, decoding religious mythology elements successfully (which gained traction around 2002), my warm-up exercise (which gained traction around 1991-1992) was to explain acid-rock lyrics that describe altered-state experiencing.
These are extremely relevant, highly descriptive poetic lyrics, which describe the peak experiencing of the altered state, by use of analogies. This is the song “No One at the Bridge”, lyrics by Neil Peart.
Lyrics are shown here for academic analysis and commentary.
“The sky is pitching violently [perceptual distortion in the altered state: visual undulation]
Drawn by shrieking winds [the egoic control system doesn’t propel its thoughts, in the altered state; thoughts are driven forward by mystic {wind} without egoic control]
Seaspray blurs my vision [perceptual distortion in the altered state: blurring of vision]
The waves roll by so fast [perceptual distortion in the altered state: visual undulation]
Save my ship of freedom [the experience of freewill-premised control power vanishes, but is desperately needed, as control increasingly seizes and is cancelled in the loss of the experience of having personal control; a “deus ex machina”, artificial transcendent rescue from outside the entire egoic control system and alien to it, is required]
I’m lashed helpless to the mast [the altered-state experience of non-control; suspension of the familiar experience of wielding control-power; an allusion to the myth of Ulysses]
Remembering when first I held [when first discovered the altered state]
The wheel in my own hands [the illusion of egoic control power, supported in the ordinary state but not in the altered state]
I took the helm so eagerly [naively expected to be able to control the experience]
And sailed for distant lands
But now the sea’s too heavy
And I just… I just don’t understand
Why must my crew desert me? [vanishing of the accustomed experience & perspective of being a control agent wielding personal control power]
When I need… I need a guiding hand… [the power of the egoic control hand vanishes]
Call out for direction
And there’s no one there to steer [the egoic control agent illusion vanishes in the altered state]
Shout out for salvation [a good time-tested idea; to rescue viable control and return control-stability, the mind has to learn to consciously place trust its own uncontrollable source of control thoughts, which was secretly always the case anyway]
But there’s no one there to hear [not that God doesn’t respond to prayer; the meaning here is “there’s no egoic control agent here”]
Cry out supplication [pleading, begging for control-stability earnestly & humbly]
For the maelstrom is near [cybernetic control seizure and nullity, cancellation]
Scream out desperation [continuing to rely on the premise or presumption of egoic control power, is futile and leads to increasing panic and seizure and instability until changing the mental worldmodel from Possibilism to Eternalism per Mystery Religion initiation]But no one cares to hear [not that there’s no God or rescuer; that would contradict all mystic tradition and experience; the emphasis here has to be on “no one”; no egoic control agent. The survival-protecting sense of caring and values and self-preservation is suspended and transcended, in the altered state]
— song No One at the Bridge, album Caress of Steel, Rush / Neil Peart, 1975
