I am not an ardent advocate of mushrooms in Christian history.

Planning today off topic utility version of an Egodeath Mystery show Episode
although what I was really hoping to record this morning what is it review of the Thomas Hatsis articles and discussing the question of , on the one hand, it has been profitable to critique Tom Hatsis , but on the other hand, he is very poor at thinking , and he is very poor at reading, and he is extremely poor at writing.
and so he serves in a very limited clown roll the role of a clown – but that’s very Appropriate for this field of entheogen scholarship , which is , as Letcher Hatsis has pointed out – as a clown, he very well recognizes that this is a clown field, that’s so compromised, due to Prohibition, that turns us all into idiots, or tries to, and most people comply and become idiots, just like the prohibitionist Presupposition Matrix coerces people into acting/ reasoning like fools.
Thomas Hatsis is a product of the foolishness of coerced scholarly positions; they reward him for being dense and garbled and his thinking – if you can call it thinking.
I guess the bottom line is that Letcher Hatsis is limited, just like everyone makes limited contributions to the field.
you are crazy if you think that he can be treated straight, reasoned with a straightforward, above the board manner.
but on the other hand, neither can you deal with Wasson in a straightforward way, and this is why I had to write the stupid 70-page article on planecorral and Wasson versus Allegro: the whole field is a clown show.
so Hatsis is par for the course:
we have dimwit Carl Ruck versus dimwit Wasson versus dimwit art historian Panofsky & Brinckmann – the whole thing, the whole field is filled with dimwits – the damned Moderate entheogen theory of religion, which they all push.
and even Dr. Brown was trying to strike a pose , “look how reasonable and Moderate I am.”
F that!!!
Stop acting- stop putting on a show of being moderate and mild and reasonable, dammit, everybody you’re just being self-defeating!
The Curse of the Field of Entheogen scholarship: The Damned “Moderate” Bias, of Countersignalling Your Own Assertions
that’s the curse of the field of entheogen scholarship, is that everybody is coerced into being compliant and mild and countersignaling themselves and holding back and using the brake pedal; all the time the brake pedal, always the brake pedal, so that even when you affirm 🍄, you deny 🍄.
The accusation of the confused Jerry Brown and confused everybody who pretends to take the stance of “look how mild I am, look how mild I am, look how much I countersignal myself , look how much I hold back and deny the presence – even while I assert the presence of the visionary plants.”
“what a great show of being reasonable and mild and moderate and slight and small, look how small I am, look how small my claim is. I’m not one of those crazy John Allegro people, followers, disciples, Ardent Advocates like John Rush and Jan Irvin”, advertises Professor Brown.
professor Brown said “please don’t mistake me for an ardent advocate”
he published this in the journal of psychedelic studies, he advertised his stance, his posture, his pose; he said don’t mistake me for an ardent advocate of psychedelics in our own religious history.
good job, Brown countersignaling yourself, distancing yourself from ardent advocates asserting mushrooms in Christian history.
His published message in Journal of Psychedelic Studies was: please don’t mistake Jerry Brown as an ardent advocate of entheogens in Christian history.
I am not an ardent advocate of mushrooms in Christian history.
Professor Jerry Brown, Journal of Psychedelic Studies, Special Issue on Psychedelics in Religious History
He has since retracted that posturing position statement to me (personal correspondence).
And that is the problem, this is the problem right there, this compromising self-defeating, telling the story of “look how small I am, look how small mushrooms are in our own religion, look how secret, look how deviant” – that’s the damned evil story that they are all intent on telling.
i’m putting on a great show of how mild, how moderate my assertion is, look how middle of the road I am, not like that John Irvin who errs in seeing mushrooms everywhere.
But actually I am saying that Jan Irvin fails to see 3/4 of the mushrooms.
you know how the accusation is when Jerry Brown accuses people the so-called ardent advocates?
he actually puts down, he actually insults John Rush and he actually insults Jan Irvin as a so-called “ardent advocates”.
but I am saying that Jan Irvin & Rush is not nearly ardent enough!
WE NEED TO SEE 🍄 EVERYWHERE, 4 TIMES AS MUCH AS THESE SUPPOSED “ARDENT ADVOCATES”!!
God did not create one type of plant, Amanita
Eadwine in the canterbury Psalter Clearly depicts that God created 4 plants s
So we need to see four times as many of these mushrooms.
we need to stop only seeing amanita everywhere.
we need to have & see & recognize the presennce of four times as much mushroom imagery in Christian art.
we need to add additionally three times as much:
we need to also see Panaeolus Mushrooms everywhere.
and also we need to also see Cubensis Mushrooms everywhere.
and also we also need to see liberty cap Mushrooms everywhere.
Successful voice practice review recording today
This was a warm-up to discuss the great limitations of Tom hatsis
a main point that I plan to say is that the problem is not only him; he is typical, he is a symptom
the badness of Tom Hatsis is a great example of a symptom of what’s fcked up about this retarded, self-defeating field of entheogen scholarship, the damned accursed plague of the mere Moderate entheogen theory of religion
if you argue that we should ignore Tom Hatsis because he’s so lame and can’t think his way out of a paper bag and can’t even express his own ideas he completely fails basic writing ability including in his published book not just his casual emails to me
the guy can’t write, he’s like the worst writer in the whole field
and he may be the worst thinker in the field too
his arguments don’t cohere, and I demonstrated that reading aloud his email on yesterday’s recording the second Segment in Egodeath Mystery show of April 25, 2022 episode I think 126, called titled ” Liberty Cap shape anachronistic”
But if you argue that his argumentation is incoherent and he should be ignored and that he is irrelevant to the field, as cyberdisciple has argued, then by that same reasoning, you would say that Wasson is irrelevant to the field, and allegro is irrelevant to the field, and Carl Rut is irrelevant to the field, too, by the same token. which is like what I asserted in October 2002 I said all of these guys are going nowhere and I reject their whole paradigm and I am going to go against everyone of them
and I’m saying that they are all irrelevant all these authors all these self contradicting Moderate compromiser’s
we need to stop compromising
we need to stop countersignaling ourselves
we need to make a firm, bold, strong assertion – put some muscle into it, dammit!
stop waffling and prevaricating and putting forth a reasonable, mild, small, moderate, PUNY proposal, and theory of the role of entheogens in our religious history!
every one of the adherents to the the accursed Moderate entheogen theory of religion puts forth garbled, self-contradictory reasoning.
if you accuse Tom Hatsis of being self-contradictory or inconsistent, well, the whole king of being inconsistent and self-contradictory is none other than Carl Rut himself, Dr. Secret Amanita.
Voice Skills – casual standard voice
Voice dictation here I just did a full reading and warm up and review recording
looking forward to listening to it
might upload it as a independent Recording or maybe some sort of like alternative like off topic portion or aspect of ego death mystery show maybe a separate numbering scheme or OT in the
it is beneficial for me in multiple ways to publish my coverage of off topic things
OT in the Episode name meaning off topic
something like that but
I think
the recording of reviewing my voice and Mike techniques
I’m looking forward to listening to it
I think
this morning’s recording was big progress but
the challenging thing for me is how to not sound angry when I am emphasizing force when I’m making a point when I’m making a scathing negative critical point how do I not sound angry
on
another voice that I hate is the lecturing chiding
I can list the voice character that I hate:
I hate the lecturing chiding voice character
I hate the soft flowery overly gentle voice in character
and it is pretty tricky to target truly the casual standard voice which DJs are the master of
it is so hard to just sound normal and friendly and welcoming and clear
it is really a refined cultivated skill and
I tend to sound angry hyper pronunciation
or soft and flowery
or formal and serious too much sounding serious
or too clownish
you see so it’s not a single character that I dislike of tone of voice and character of voice
the challenge is more complicated:
how to make the character disappear.
that’s the challenge :
how do you make the character of the voice disappear and vanish so that you have transparent communication.
To have transparent communication.
improving
but I do feel with my sheer approving[?]
proving the ability to do the great reading of the webpage that I did this morning
I feel like I’m really moving into the territory of putting the fine polish on it Control of voicing in conjunction with Mike in technique
which requires always keeping up the guard
don’t let down the guard
keep trying and keep critiquing
always be critical and improving
always be improving or trying to push toward the ideal casual standard voice with flexibility and dynamic balancing out all these different factors
it’s pretty complicated
and then eventually want all of that to be natural and to come feel like it comes naturally
when in fact – perhaps this does come naturally to some DJ types but I would say definitely,
for most people, they are very very far from 1) number one mastering all of these aspects and 2) number two having that field feel natural aspect one is being able to balance out all these factors
an aspect to is to do so while experiencing that as natural , when for most people, accomplishing that voicing – that transcendence of the voice character and transcending the cultivated voice apparatus is the very opposite of natural and easy and can require a lot of diligent debugging and troubleshooting and identifying flaws and correcting them and coming up with strategies: how am I going to correct this flaw
for example of closing the nasal passage when emphasizing things and then sounding like nasal Terence McKenna
it is just mind blowing how often I sound like Terence McKenna clamping down the nasal passage at top back of throat
That is something most recently I have been learning to hear when listening to my voice every 10th word I do a turns McKenna Kermit the frog, due to closing of the nasal passage resonance cavity – it’s a habit of a way of emphasizing.
Transcendent voiceover
cultivated casual standard voice
Make it sound natural, when in fact it takes for me at least years of diligent troubleshooting and critique and analysis and practice critical listening, judging and identifying what is the goal , how / what is it to sound good
what do we mean when that person has a good voice like
Martin ball has a very good voice
; Martin Ball has a very very good voice
except maybe you could say errs on the sound of he sounds too gentle
he doesn’t sound neutral, he sounds gentle; he errs on the side of gentle.
I err on the side of sounding sharp and critical and serious. and lecturing and trading alternating with sounding too soft and flowery alternating with sounding too soft and flour
and also cramped into a midrange, locked into a midrange RESONANCE
to resonate a midrange resonate
too much clamping into a clamping into a distinctive narrow voice spectrum instead of staying open and flexible and dynamic
the hard thing I’m working on now is to sound smooth and neutral and friendly without sounding clownish and without sounding stern and lecturing and over pronunciation but casual instead of stern or goofy or flowery and soft or Kermit the frog Terence McKenna closed resonance chamber
Long list of improvements made since January 2021
But I could list now a long list of improved my technique and a long list of improved voice technique compared to January 20, 2021 when I essentially started voice recording series, the Egodeath Mystery Show
Crossfader, or at least two faders
and I remembered a great hook up idea though I really want a cross feeder does anyone make a little guitar pedal size Crossfade or to Crossfade between Mike and music that’s what I really need
I could hook it up with my synth synthesizer as at least for a temporary measure until I get a more simple dedicated hardware
I need to search the web for cross fade
