Page idea from Commentary on Episode 14 (2019-06-18) Max Freakout & Cyberdisciple re: Kafei, also a lot from Episode 9 (McKenna part 2) (below).
List of Bad News Brought by the Egodeath Theory
- no-free-will/monopossibility
- Jesus didn’t exist
- Paul didn’t exist
- No religious founder figures existed
- History is tales resting on sand, foreshortening of all manuscripts before the printing press 1450 read like they were written in 1525. (Augustine is an empty nom de plume used by rival monasteries = Forgery Factories per Edwin Johnson) & the Church Fathers; many of the Church Fathers demonstrably haven’t heard the lifestory of Jesus (not sure of details offhand here)).
- Nondual unity oneness awareness is the rank beginners’ stage. Who haven’t woken the dragon-monster/furies yet.
- God is the author of evil; God, the Creator of all control-thoughts, is more or less directly responsible for all of Satan’s control-thoughts, per hyper hyper-Calvinism.
- Meditation is bunk. Anyone pushing meditation as more than relaxation is a huckster selling snake oil and stealing credit from entheogens.
- Exoteric Communion/Eucharist is bunkum and priestcraft to fleece the gullible masses.
- The peak of psychedelic mysticism is self-threatening panic loss of control.
- The Consciousness Revolution is a fake-grassroots, top-down orchestrated, malicious Social Engineering plot.
- The most prominent advocate of high-dose mushrooms, Terrence McKenna, for many years, hid the fact that he himself had stopped all use of mushrooms himself, because they messed-up his sense of motivation and purpose in life, giving him a type of loss of control ballast — while he continued for many years to advocate mushrooms for everyone else, not only in moderate dosage, but in emphatically high dosage.
- Most entheogen scholarship is prostituted; totally compromised, and its purpose is to suppress the many mushrooms throughout Christian art.
- Bank PR propagandist Wasson had private meetings with the Pope, that’s why Wasson multiple times censored Panofsky’s citation of Brinckmann’s thin puny book that presented mushroom trees in Christian art; Brinckmann’s book revealed mushrooms throughout Christian art and failed to offer any reason to deny & suppress mushrooms from Christian art.
- Academia-affiliated entheogen scholars are a slave to Academia, who are paid to use the flimsiest of excuses to suppress 100% of mushrooms from Christian art.
- Academic art historians Brinckmann & Panofsky, enforcers of trained-dog fast celerity of stating the Party Line: “yes we know all about mushroom trees; our intensive 2-way debate and studies proved that mushrooms don’t mean mushrooms.
- If you need citations for that debate, we’ll gladly provide a list of names of art-history authorities who’ve been trained to say — with impressive celerity — the party-line cover-story.
Have a Nice Day! 🙂
Podcast 14
Copied from Podcast Episode 14:
“not good news about psychedelics, the Egodeath theory makes points that go against what some people want to hear.”
This is true in many aspects.
Any significant new theory contradicts existing desires and expectations of existing “theories”, views, and attitudes.
Bad-News Bullets
Points in the Egodeath theory that are objectionable to extant views:
o Ahistoricity of religious founder figures (this is not fundamental to the Egodeath theory; it’s peripheral, not in the Core theory).
o No-free-will; pre-existence of a single rail of control thoughts throughout time for each person.
o Non-drug meditation is illegit, it makes claims it cannot sustain, and it constantly contradicts itself about what claims it is making. The wellspring of religion is *not* non-drug-meditation; the ongoing wellspring of religion has been psychedelics, not meditation.
o God is not a matter of epistemology, but altered-state phenomenology. God is the hidden source of control-thoughts, indirectly revealed and unveiled in the altered state. Moses is placed in a rock by God, and from that vantage point, sees only the back side of God.
o The New Testament asserts Gnosticism: hidden knowledge that is revealed only to “those on the inside”, the predestined elect. It is fabrication, to say that the New Testament openly presents everything. The New Testament veils no-free-will and the hidden source of control thoughts: hides and reveals, conditional upon being predestined to be given the real Eucharist’s Holy Spirit altered state.
[podcast 9] The Egodeath theory = Bad News; PR vs. Truth; Hide No-Free-Will
copied this section to general Podcast page, section 9: Commentary.
38:00 Max: timewave 0 is determinist, McKenna weakly defends freewill thinking – for PR? Give ppl good news about what the psychedelic revelation’s about. That you have no self-control.
40:00
Max: Wanted to give good news, rather than the bad news. Hoffman’s posting “Why pop spirituality tries to say the grand truth is impossible to say, ineffable”, McKenna asserted what’s revealed is beyond words”. McKenna’s motive for claiming that the mystic truth is ineffable, per Hoffman who implies:
40:26
Hoffman says “Here is, a systematic model of what enlightenment spiritual metaphysical understanding is all about.” (Even if negative); the Egodeath theory explicitly talks about what others claim (due to conflict of interest) is “ineffable”; the Egodeath theory says “you might not like it, but this is what it is anyway.”
“Because pop spirituality is motivated by selling things to people … That would be a, provide a motivation for them [Pop Sike advocates such as McKenna] to keep the terrifying truth a secret and to try to claim to the adherents of that worldview that it is actually ineffable and impossible to talk about, it’s because you’re going to end up turning away your audience,
41:14
“Nobody wants to hear that when you become enlightened, you actually find out that you’re a puppet slave of God, and that all your actions are eternally set in stone in the block universe.
“So we see the potential overlap of a motivation between McKenna and Pop Sike, the desire to cast spiritual metaphysical understanding in a positive light, to make people desire it and be attracted towards it, rather than putting people off in the first place by saying,
“Look, there’s this one thing you’re going to discover, which is a horrifying experience of psychotic loss of control, which is then going to permanently, you’re going to permanently realize from this point on, that your free will is essentially some kind of illusion, that it [the experience of freewill] just abides during the duration of the ordinary state of consciousness, but it’s not fixed permanent bedrock of reality, and actually the true face of reality is control loss, ego death.
“… McKenna … tepidly defending freewill, hiding the real truth, hiding the core of esoteric knowledge, which is … no-free-will, eternalistic determinism.”
