Differentiate the Scholarly Research Field of “Mushrooms in Western Religion” vs. Specific Personalities and Their Particular Theories

Discuss the relation between:

• the Allegro-Amanita universe, fixated/obsessed on by the Perpetual Allegro Orbiters.
• the Egodeath theory, & its sub-sub theory of the maximal mushroom theory of Greek & Christian religion.
• the scholarly field of investigation, mushrooms* in Greek & Christian religion.
  or
• the scholarly field of investigation, Psilocybe in Greek & Christian religion.

Read “mushrooms” as “Psilocybe”. “Mushrooms” does NOT mean “Amanita”. Stop projecting YOUR confusion & conflations, wrecking the broad field. 99% of “mushrooms” means Psilocybe; only 1% of the word “Mushrooms” means the use of Amanita. When I write ‘mushrooms’, as a rule, I mean Psilocybe, NOT Amanita. There is only 1 top ideal entheogen, for my theory: Psilocybe. All others — including Amanita — are non-ideal. I almost am forced to name the field, just to solve this way-blocking problem — the scholarly field of
Psilocybe in Greek & Christian religion. It’s my way of introducing a Split, a Divorce, in the field. You low-IQ guys, go right ahead, continue your pointless work in the Pop field of “Allegro-Amanita” studies. I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR RESEARCH IN WESTERN SCOPALAMINE, CANNABIS, AMANITA, OPIUM, ACACIA-RUE. I ONLY CARE ABOUT THE IDEAL ENTHEOGEN, PSILOCYBE. I DON’T CARE ABOUT ENTHEOGENS. I DON’T CARE ABOUT AMANITA. IDGAF ABOUT ALLEGRO, IRVIN, THEIR NEGATIVE ORBITERS, WASSON, OR RUCK’S WORK IN AMANITA.

I ONLY CARE ABOUT PSILOCYBE — bc it is ideal, and my Theory, the Egodeath theory, works best with the ideal simplifying case.

let the deviants/excpetions piggyback on my clearly articulated Theory — that’s THEIR problem, not mine.

I did well in framing my main article in terms of Salvia, but history values incomparably more, Psilocybe in Greek & Christian religion.

The Banquet tradition does not describe cannabis, opium, scopalamine, or Amanita; THE BANQUET TRADITION SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBES PSILOCYBIN DOSING AND EFFECTS.

The Amanita hypothesis does nothing but confuse and complicate — the Amanita hypothesis 100% confuses the Perpetual Allegro Orbiters.

So I’m announcing my commitment to the single-plant fallacy:

I hold, for simplicity of Theory, that:

The official entheogen of Greek and Christian religion is Psilocybe mushrooms. So that’s what I’m going to find and explain. The other plants are a waste of time, a distraction, a replacement, and are avoidance.

Not Amanita, not Cannabis, not Scopolamine, not Opium.

To put it another way:

The stupid people have stupidly chosen Allegro-Amanita as the dead-center of their scholarly universe, and above, the perimeter of their thinking, is likewise dictated circumscribed around Allegro-Amanita.

That is their little bubble that all of the Allegro-Amanita Orbiters are trapped eternally orbiting around, never able to escape the trap of their own hallucination; the Allegro monster has trapped and hypnotized them. They are slaves of Allegro-Amanita.

In contrast, I am specifying that THE CENTER OF ATTENTION IN SCHOLARSLY RESEARCH SHALL BE PSILOCYBE AND GREEK RELIGINO AND Christianity. THAT IS, yes, Hellenism beyond Hellenic religion, and yes, Christendom beyond the Christian religion. eg Gnostics, Mithras, Alexandria yes; but the CENTER is Greek, Christian, Psilocybe. Therefore it may be instrucmental to … if I have to choose between a broad vague lable for the field, wihich fails to keep focused and allows-in mind-rotting bullshit like equating ‘mushroom’ with ‘amanita’, then I am … if I have to pick a narrow vs vauge filed-li field-label, I am foruced to do so: picking narrow. BETTER TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CORRECT SPECFIICITY AND LET THE EXCEPTIONS PIGGYBACK ON THE CENTRAL ITEM THAT’S TARGETED. SO: WHAT IS THE BROAD VAUGE FOCUS NAME OF FIELD, AND THE NARROW SPECIFIC IDELA CNETRAL FOCUS NAME OF FIELD?

NARROW: THE SCHOLARLY FIELD OF STUDY, “PSILOCYBE IN GREEK & Christian RELIGION“

The scholarly field of study, Psilocybe in Greek and Christian Religion

The scholarly field of study, Mushrooms in Hellenism and Christendom — true but leaves door open to conflation idiocy, like the irrelvant Amanita obsession.

AMANITA IS IRRELEVANT. SCOPOLAMINE IS IRRELEVANT.

FOR Christianity, GREEK MYTH *IS RELEVANT*; Hellenic & Hellenistic ARE relevant.

Other plants than Psilocybe, though, are NOT relevant (eg Amanita in Greek religion is irrelevant).

I’m not saying that Greek or Christian religion didn’t use things other than Psilocybe; I’m saying that other plants are objectively absolutely undesirable; non-ideal.

For best clearest theorizing, pick/focus on/ pursue/ study/ look for The Ideal Entheogen, which is Psilocybe.

Am I more interested in Hellenistic, or Christian religion use of Psilocybe/classical entheogens? Or World religious mythology? I find I’m centrally interested in the combination of Hellenistic aka “Ancient Mediterranean paganism” & Christendom eg including Western Esotericism.

hyperbolically speaking – From a Theory-construction point of view:

I do not value scholarship in World Religion or maximal the maximal entheogen theory of religion; I do not value the entheogen scholarship in Western religion, other than specifically, Psilocybe.

Hoffman and Ruck can produce all the books they want on Amanita, I don’t care and I don’t value them and those books are irrelevant and useless of no value to my Theory.

From a Theory-construction point of view, all of those plants are merely backdrop. I’m only interested in the mixed-wine, also bread — meaning, Psilocybe mixed-wine and Psilocybe bread, or raw eaten, or dried eaten (empty stomache w/ only msh, is most potent). anyway the common factor is, Psilocybe. I’m afraid the Allegro-Amanita-Orbiting bozos are going to force me to name the field “Psilocybe” instead of “Mushrooms”. I just can’t fuck around with their misrepresentation strawman bs any longer. It’s a special emergency siitutaion. In a sane world, I’d certainly name the field “mushroom” scholarship, not Psilocybe scholarship. But, to counter the idiocy that’s killing the field, in order to save the field, I may have no choice but to commit the singl-plant fallacy IN THEIR FACE. anyways it means ANY PSILOCYBIN/PSILOCIN MUSHROOM, so, hardly “single-plant” fallacy. And technically, many non-Psilocybe mushrooms have psilocybin or psilocin.

From a Theory-construction point of view, I only value and need and can put to use, Psilocybe.

the field of scholarly historical research called,

Psilocybe in Western religion;

Psilocybe in Greek & Christian religion — in this field, Amanita is literally reduced to decoration.

Psilocybe Is King, for Theory

Almost Forced to Write ‘Psilocybe’ Instead of ‘Mushrooms’, Because Allegro-Orbiters Always Misread ‘Mushroom’ as “Amanita”

To Name the Scholarly Field, I’m Almost Forced to Write ‘Psilocybe’ Instead of ‘Mushrooms’, Because the Reductionist Allegro-Orbiting Camp *Always* Misreads ‘Mushroom’ as “Amanita”

I WANT to write the word “Mushrooms” but that field-ruining troublemaker is going to STRAWMAN the word “Mushrooms” and mis-read it as “Amanita” because he is f*cking OBSESSED with Amanita.

He never misses an opportunity to specify “Amanita”, when any sane scholar is expecting him to say “Mushrooms”.

The infamous Allegro-orbiter, is almost forcing me to write a word I don’t want to write, “Psilocybe”.

It’s *NOT* that I’m that exclusively Psilocybe-only, but if I don’t narrowly specify and highlight “Psilocybe”, what will guaranteed happen, is that Letcher-Hatis will read my word “Mushroom” as “Amanita”, because that’s all he ever thinks about — he lets Allegro/Irvin set the outer boundaries of his thought-universe.

And he tries to force the entire field into his own strawman construction.

When someone asserts Psilocybe instead of Amanita, he accuses the person of “moving the goalpost”.

As if he can dictate the scope of the field for other people, and only permit the field to cover Amanita!

An ignorant outsider newbie interloper is trying to derail and mal-form the entire field to conform to HIS tiny mental world of slavish following the boundaries he imagines Allegro to have set.

• For the Perpetual Allegro Orbiter, the word ‘mushroom’ IS the word ‘Amanita’; they are identical; they are exact synonyms.
  • The only way I can break his noxious programming, which is the worst problem harming the field right now, is to BLOCK his mental error, by going out of MY way (“always say Psilocybe instead of Mushroom”) to prevent him from going out of HIS way (“always say Amanita instead of Mushroom”).

also:

• the Allegro-Amanita universe
• the Egodeath theory
• the maximal entheogen theory of religion
• mushrooms in Greek & Christian art
• the maximal psychedelic theory of religion and culture
• the maximal entheogen theory of religion
• mushrooms in Hellenistic & Christendom art
• the maximal mushroom theory of Christianity
• the maximal mushroom theory of Greek & Christian religion
• mushrooms in Christian art

the “Analogical Psychedelic Pre-existence” theory of religious mythology.

Where the Theory of Mushrooms in Christianity Fits Within the Egodeath Theory

Possible problem: this section is worded in terms of particular theories, rather than scholarly fields/ topics of investigation/research/ scholarship.

• The Egodeath theory includes: <- my solution in the field of the Cognitive Science of Religion; Transpersonal Psychology; Theory of Religion.
  • The Cybernetic theory of ego transcendence (1988-1997). <- my solution in the field of spiritual enlightenment; spiritual self-help, the Human Potential Movement; theory of religion; Cognitive Science of Religion; Transpersonal Psychology.
  • The Mytheme theory (1998-2006); which includes: <- my solution in the field of religious mythology and Esotericism.
    • The maximal entheogen theory of religion; which includes: <- my solution in the field of entheogen scholarship; entheogens in religious history.
      • The maximal theory of mushrooms in Greek & Christian religion; <- my solution in the field of entheogens in Western religion; which theory includes:
        • The maximal theory of mushrooms in Christian art. <- my solution in the field of mushrooms in Christianity.
        • The Mytheme/analogy theory of mushrooms in Christian texts. <- my solution in the field of mushrooms in Christianity.

Differentiate:

• me
• my theories
• the fields my theories solve

Completely independently of whether the Perpetual Allegro Orbiters are right, completely independently of historical reality, there exists a field of investigation and theorizing, which particular people do some work in.

Even if the Perpetual Allegro Orbiters were right in their insanely sweeping, untenable, vague explaining-away of ALL mushrooms EVER in ALL Christian history, even if — per some muddle-headed idea of theirs, “there was no Holy Mushroom” (my IQ just dropped 50 points), there would still exist the scholarly field of investigation and publishing theories and research findings, called, “mushrooms in Western religion”.

I reject calling this field of scholarly research “Allegro” anything, or “Holy Mushroom” anything, or “Conspiracy” anything; those aren’t proper, scholarly, neutral names for delineating the field.

I reject putting the main emphasis on Christianity; I always package deal it, “Greek & Christian” (= Hellenism & Christendom).

Within that package deal, yes, Greek is distinct from Christian. But, the package deal comes first.

To get to the field of “mushrooms in Christian art”, you have to pass through and enter through, the field of “mushrooms in Greek & Christian art”.

eg, this hierarchical breakout:

• entheogens in religion & culture
  • entheogens in Western religion
    • entheogens in Greek & Christian religion
      • mushrooms in Greek & Christian religion
        • mushrooms in Greek religious mythology
        • mushrooms in Christian art & religion
