The field of entheogen scholarship has been harmed by Carl Ruck – I agree with Hatsis – retarded and stunted and developmentally blocked by Carl Rucks fixational dysfunctional fixation developmentally stunted limited exclusively to Amanita only and cover-up refusal to engage with the Psilocybin art Evidence in Hellenistic and Christian art.
Hatsis is correct on that point, that entheogen scholarship has come to a halt and is being blocked and impeded by this dysfunctional way of defining every classification system forced to revolve around planecorralled Fresco and Amanita and Secrecy and Allegro, and an exclusive focus on isolated Christian Christian art in isolation from Hellenistic art.
I agree with him on that. we have GOT to escape from the jail cell that Dr. Rut has placed us in.
we’ve got to bust out of the prison the Carl Ruck school has locked us into.
we’ve got to grow out of that preschool play yard that they have restricted us to.
I agree with Thomas Hatsis on that point.
I also agree with Thomas Hatsis that an extreme reaction and breakout, a vigorous almost a “violent” sort of sort of speak a “violent” breakout operation as needed that we need to throw off we need to finally sacrifice this childish thinking.
we’ve got to retain the vision, the bigger broader adult level vision of psilocybin instead, and I agree that we have to vigorously forcefully and almost “violently” throw off the shackles which Dr. Rut’s got us in.

The only place where Thomas Hatsis goes wrong is on the exact nature of the violent overthrow of the dominant reign of Dr. Secret Amanita, the Carl Ruck school paradigm, which has Samorini forming his malformed classification system is precisely because he begins with Plaincourault obsession and childish stunted developmentally stunted fixational fixational inappropriately try to rubberstamp the same bad formula that produced the planemcorral fresco bad limited paradigm, which has blocked the field from growing up and into its adult form mature form.
we have stuck the field in an immature form by forcing every classification scheme to begin with and be limited to only the Plaincourault / allegro/ irvin/ secrecy suppression-assumption model, and develop no further than that.
Where Thomas hatis goes wrong is in his particular so to speak “violent” overthrow of the reign of Dr. Secret Amanita and the evil M. Hoffman.
it is only Thomas Hatsis’ particular solution that’s wrong.
he’s correct about the problem, and he’s correct that a extreme overthrow is the only possible solution; but his extreme overthrow proposal is the total denial and total removal of mushrooms from the Eucharist.
that’s wrong; he’s wrong on that one point.
the correct, adult way forward, to shake ourselves out of this child level fixation – and I have in mind Ken Wilber’s early books about a destructive regression & failure to integrate lower devmtl structures into higher structure to graduate to adult higher level form.
Hatsis is an example, Hatsis is like a destructive regression, a failure of transcendence, a failure to move to the next level, adult developmental form.
Thomas hatsis’ particular solution constitutes a regression that’s dysfunctional dissolution of egoic structures, rather than moving on to graduate to the adult mature form.
Thomas Hatsis ‘s particular solution is regression and destruction of the lower developmental level
we need to retain, in Ken Wilber form or sense of his theory, retain the lower developmental structures, the earlier childish transitional development structures of all of our Amanita research and discovery findings.
retain those, but stop being limited to those, and don’t destroy them.
Do not destroy the previous generations work , that generation called Wason Allegro, Jan Irvin, and Dr. Secret Amanita: Carl Ruck and the evil M. Hoffman.
do not destroy the childish structures; retain them, but dis- identify from them
stop identifying with the child limited level. employ them and retain them, but stop being constrained and limited and imprisoned in the stunted child level immature developmental level of this field for all of eternity, which is what the regressive solution from Thomas Hatsis would do.
he would go backwards
not only is his solution a failure to move forward; his solution is actually a regressive dissolution of the structures which we have developed to date
he presents us with what Ken Wilber would call destructive regression, a dissolution of ego structures, of earlier developmental structures: a failure and destruction dissolution of those structures, rather than a proper integrating of those structures into a higher level, more developed, adult developmental level, which the Egodeath theory brings:
analogical psychedelic eternalism with dependent control, and my analysis of mystical art images, and Mytheme theory.
