Hanegraaff’s chapter “Entheognic Esotericism”,
my 2002 critique of the Old Paradigm,
the Secret Entheogen Paradigm being incorpog Entheogen Diminishment fallacies, self-defeating.

Martin Luther’s 99 Thesis that demolished the church door to smithereens w/ gigantic nail (Hollywood Epic version).

“Amanita, Christianity, Surface Form, Low Esotericism” to “Psilocybe, Greek + Christian, Cognitive Effects, High Esotericism”
fav idea of this recording:
egoic vs. transcendent mental worldmodel ::
Old vs. New paradigm of entheogen scholarship
egoic-thinking : transcendent thinking ::
the Old, “Secret Entheogen” Paradigm : the New, “Explicit Psychedelic” Paradigm.
Explicit psychedelic paradigm is limiting because it is time stamped by the word, psychedelic. It is not an inviting term for people of all ages.
And no matter what anyone says, it’s the mystic altered state that has front row seating.
You may not like the word, secret, but there aren’t too many people alive that don’t want to know what the secret is. It is mysterious and appealing and ought not to be tossed away.
