Carl Ruck ‘s Mythology & entheogen Scholarship
his theme, one of his master themes, of the wild versus the cultivated :
when people ingest mushrooms and experience non-duality from a naïve inexperienced, they are unstable and wild and go out of control and unstable, like the horses , centaurs
then when they learn the non-branching model and conform to it , then they become cultivated , civilized and stable; gain control stability in the new, transformed configuration.
Wild-Ruck focuses the field of entheogen scholarship on the mere sheer presence of plants.
Ruck’s focus is on plants, the immature wild uncultivated and unstable with control instability the naïve possibility Branching model of the world and our agency control steering power within that world
Become cultivate become mature and developed and transformed
don’t focus on the plants Mythology does not describe the plants primarily
focus on the experience of the plants mythology primarily focuses on the experiencing produced by the plants-
the transformation from wild to cultivated , from unstable to stable, from possibility Branching thinking to non-Branching monocoursal thinking and world model
Cultivated-Ruck actually comprehends the real message of mythology And is cultivated and reaches the other side, which is control stability, transforming the mental model in conformity with the mushroom experience of the frozen future control thoughts in a snake shaped path existing in the future already with non-Branching of possibilities and with control frozen into a rail , the king a rock marble statue frozen
in april 12 pm Egodeath Mystery Show i mention ruck reduc’ic treatment of serpent mytheme, shed skin, i forgot to include forgot my othere usual point, his expl that snake has venom like an entheogen .
when reading mythology in entheogen books 1999-2002, i said no, those are reduc’ic expls. why snake is key in myth is its actually the morpholgy, per all serpents depictions in world myth , which never show venom or shedding, but only show serpent’s shape , often contrasted against a branching tree.
