Voice dictation, so have fun translating,
usually I clean these up to some extent, over time.
And the WordPress app just prompted me to give it a rating and I gave it a five star rating – but really well it’s not working very entirely well ie it has issues with voice transcription, not sure which software is to blame.
The combination of voice transcription with the wordpress app has a duplication bug, so deal with it , too damn bad. I will give you the benefit of telling you, describing the bug:
when I say “too many” words, there’s a bug and it chokes and it duplicates the whole block 💥💥

We have a great episode of the voice recording Egodeath Mystery show for you today May 7, 2022 as I read through my article 2006 Wasson Allegro Plaincourault Amanita and
I just got a clear realization that, I didn’t really mean it seriously when I said “warning never trust an entheogen scholar, they are particularly especially the most untrustworthy worthy the most untrustworthy writers of them all” I warned and I joked.
but then I realized, that’s exactly what happened when Wasson warned us in the book soma, using Eliad regarding Shamanism:
Wasson warned us don’t believe a word that I write, because we write under coercion; we are forced to write a load of rubbish that we don’t believe – signed Wasson
he warned us in print
similarly Carl rock reiterated wassons warning
curl rock warned us in print, in the book the road to Eleusis
he warned us don’t believe a word that I write – signed, ruck
they are particularly especially the most untrustworthy worthy the most untrustworthy writers of them all I warned and I joked
but then I realized that’s exactly what happened when Wasson warned us in the book soma using Eliad
regarding Shamanism, Wasson warned us don’t believe a word that I write because we right under coercion; we are forced to write a load of rubbish that we don’t believe signed Wasson
he warned us in print
similarly Carl rock reiterated wassons warning curl rock warned us in print in the book the road to Eleusis he warned us don’t believe a word that I write – signed Carl Ruck
don’t believe a word that I write because look at exhibit A Eliade regarding Shamanism clearly didn’t believe his ridiculous patent nonsense on stilts that shamans no longer able to will themselves into the mushroom state of consciousness
then I forgot to go off about Carlos Ginsberg’s today, I was starting to get into that, but my exhibit A, my own exhibit a to seal the deal and make the point:
Ramsbottom publicly published Gordon wassons admission of being a lying deceiver be a bullsht artist and cover-up story
and I believe it was Jan Irvin who caught this
this was caught by him when we discussed 2006 Jan Irvin caught what happened, that:
Ramsbottom exposed Wasson as warning twice; we have two warnings from Wassen, that we should not believe his lying deceiving cover-up bullsht story.
in the book soma, Gorgon Wasson says:
never believe an “ethnomycologist”, because we write under coercion. like Eliade’s manifest nonsense on stilts.
secondly, as if to drive the point home, Gordon Wasson warned the mycologist Ramsbottom in a intended-private letter, “wrongly, we are going to publicly deny the obvious truth, that of course the Amanita Artist realized he was depicting Amanita Imagery , obviously”
but then the lead mycologist Ramsbottom took revenge on this lying deceiver “ethnomycologist” Aasson by publicly publishing wassons admission of being a deceiving liar cover-up bullsht operator and Wason didn’t discover that until Allegros books footnote – ha ha on Wasson, u deserved it!!
Young irvin discovered that Wason discovered through Allegro’s book in 1970 belatedly discovered that Ramsbottom had exposed Wasson as admitting privately to being a lying deceiver, writing assertions that he did not believe in
, and this corroborates what Wason publicly wrote in his warning in his book Soma, Wasson warned us:
never trust an “ethnomycologist”, because they’re always coerced into writing assertions which they disbelieve, insultingly stupid assertions such as “Amanita artists don’t recognize Amanita”
So I am renaming the Moderate Entheogen Theory: a second name:
“the Moderate (including Minimal) theory”
for one thing, I am deliberately coupling the Moderate with the Minimal position, because slip and slide, fluctuation, ever-changing:
the people who assert the moderate position also half the time change and assert the minimal position.
and half the time they shift back to assert the moderate position.
we see this with John Allegro. In one printing of his book, he says there was an “old tradition” of amanita lasting 1200 years.
then in the next edition, he removes the fresco and says no, there was only amanita use in the primitive original generation for 20 years only.
Then Jan Irvin , who is closer to maximal Position re-published Allegro’s book and ads plain mcruel fresco back in again,;
hats as claims that later printings omitted the planecrawl Fresco, which is very interesting, if you can trust Hatsis on anything. Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day. he’s only mostly dead wrong on absolutely everything.
then I am treating T McKenna as a special case, where he usually asserts the extreme archaic Psilocybin position, but then look his inconsistent, he puts a gigantic Amanita on the cover of his reading of his book, his audiobook Food of Only the Gods.
The hallmark characteristic –
Hatsis does not have a monopoly; Andy Letcher does not have a monopoly on being shifting fluctuation moving the goalposts slip and slide, can’t decide what his position is, changes every two seconds, he contradicts himself constantly nonstop.
The very defining character of the Moderate Entheogen Theory of Religion is that it constantly flips between the minimal and moderate position, and its inconstancy and constant self-contradiction.
were there mushrooms?
yes but no.
Both Wasson and Carl Rut warn us “never believe published entheogen scholars’ public profession of faith commitment official positions is a bunch of lies”
they tell us “beware, look at Eliad manifest nonsense he wrote about shamans”:
that they used to be able to will themselves into a mushroom state of consciousness, but no longer.
you’d have to be an idiot to believe that.
obviously Eliade cannot possibly believe his own position faith-statement profession. prohibition/ prejudice compliant, toe the line, self-contradict.
and this is typical of the field of entheogen scholarship under the garbled self-contradictory moderate/minimal/ever-fluctuating, compromised, coerced, lying, deceptive, Weasley, prevaricating, self-defeating position called the moderate/minimal/never trust an Entheogen Scholar’s writing, according to Gordon Wasson
Wasson both publicly and privately asserted and admitted to John Ramsbottom the mycologist and according to Carl rock in the equally important foundational book the road to Eleusis said, he wrote “never trust the written public position/faith statements professions of faith commitment assertions of us academic entheogen scholars”.
The “revenge of the mycologists” is:
Gordon Wasson the “ethnomycologist” insulted mycologists, who simply assert that planecurl means Amanita.
and Wassen is forever smearing and disrespecting and insulting the mycologists and pretending that Wassen as an “ethnicmycologist” is somehow superior to the mycologists, who simply truthfully assert that obviously plaincorralled means amanita.
and so in retaliation, the lead mycologist Ramsbottom published in his book Wasson’s admission of being a deceptive liar con artist BS bullsht artist giving a load of malarkey cover-up story with an insultingly preposterous assertion that “Amanita artists have no idea that they represented Amanita.” 😑
Jan irvin determined that Ramsbottom retaliated against the insults levied by Gordon Wasson against the mycologists by publicly publishing Gordon Wasson’s admission of “Wrongly, we are committed to, going to pretend and assert something we know to be a falsehood: we are going to assert the Amanita imagery does not mean Amanita, and the Christian artists are that stupid that they don’t recognize their own mushroom imagery as delivering the impression of mushroom imagery.”
The Moderate and Minimal entheogen theory (same diff) are insulting to artists, and insulting to the mycologists, who were 100% correct in obviously identifying the planecrawl fresco as Amanita and then suffering Gordon Wasson inventing his fabricated field of deceit and deception and lying called “ethnomycology” and proceeded to smear an insult and lie – and then privately admit to Ramsbottom, the head mycologist, that Gordon Wasson is putting on a pretext, “rightly or wrongly we are going to assert manifest self-contradictory nonsense, that Amanita imagery in art does not mean amanita”
and remember Wasson himself warned us in his public book soma,
he warned us never trust an “ethnomycologist”, because look what nonsense Eliade was forced to write, which clearly he could not possibly have believed him in himself, any more than Dan Merkur could possibly believe that “gnostics did not eat mushrooms, because they never eat anything physical.” 😑
this is manifestly a preposterous assertion that the author could not possibly believe and Gordon Wasson as a BS artist explains to us that Eliad is bullshtting us obviously serving as a warning Gorgon Wasson wrote us the warning:
never trust published position statements of faith, which are lies written by entheogen scholars under coercion.
The Moderate/ phony, posturing, self-contradiction, prevaricating Moderate entheogen theory of religion serves the purpose of reducing & restricting mushrooms from our religious history, in servile, compliant service to the Salvation Salesmen & Meditation Hucksters.
The takeaway is that whenever you read the alleged position statements put forth for public consumption by Wasson and the Moderate entheogen theory of religion, including the Carl Ruck school, realize that they have already given you given you the warning:
they have warned you never trust an “ethnomycologist”, because we write bullsht that we don’t believe in, in order to serve our Prohibition overlords.
we are professional liars who serve to minimize and deny and remove and constrain mushrooms in our religious history.
when you read their position statements you have to remember they already
and us never believe the written public Position statements written by any entheogen scholar because we write under coercion
witness exhibit A, Eliad , who wrote rubbish that he could not possibly have believed in himself, that shamans used to be able to will themselves into mushroom consciousness, but now in the modern era, they lost that ability – manifest horsesht!!
you might as well believe Carlos Ginsberg the psychedelic witch historian the psychedelic which the psychedelic history and Carlos Ginsberg, who falsely writes that he has “proved” that witches fertility cult practices can induce the same experience as Psilocybin Mushrooms or Amanita – and if you believe that, then we entheogen scholars have several bridges to sell you & valuable marshland real estate, if you’re that fcking gullible
“I warned you”; Wasson warned you in the book soma, he said watch out, look at what Eliad had to write, was forced & coerced into writing obvious self-contradictory nonsense on stilts.
and Carl rock warned you in the book the road to Eleusis exhibit A Eliade regarding nonsense about shamans
and also Wassen privately admitted to the lead mycologist Ramsbottom that wrongly we are going to falsely assert something that we know to be false: we are going to tell the cover-up story that “amanita artists had no idea that they were depicting Amanita Imagery”
And then Ramsbottom publicly published Wassons private admission of deceit and cover-up story practices on the part of the fraudulent Phony pretenders posers, ethno mycollegests.
So much for the credibility of “ethnomycologists”, prancing posers & put-on artists.
Such is the defining character of the Moderate entheogen theory of religion.
The scholars who assert the Moderate entheogen theory of religion don’t even believe their own cover-up bullsht stories.
so remember that, when you read the writings of the Moderate Carl Ruck’s school , remember that they have giving you the warning already, “don’t take our preposterous & prevaricating assertions seriously, because we write under coercion.“
So I am pretty much done with the category of the “Minimal” Entheogens Theory – it is as unimportant as the category of the Hylics compared to the Psychics and Pneumatics in the gnostic system of the three kinds of thinkers.
I see the way clear now to have a nice clean elegant Max Freakout compatible simple clarifying to position to positions system instead of three positions we really only need the Maximal Position and then the moderate Position in the Moderate Position can completely flip-flop and slip and slide to cover the minimal position as well on every other Tuesday
because the inconsistency of it and the self-contradiction of it are the distinguishing hallmarks
there is no steady distinction between moderate versus Minimal
it’s all The same prevaricating shifting fluctuating in constant self-contradictory across time
one day you assert X; the next day you assert Y; it’s all the same shiite.
The only stable, steady, constant, determinate, specified, non-self-contradictory position is my Maximal entheogen theory of religion.
And practically there’s only one other position and that is the we can simply call at the moderate position (and enfold the minimal position which it shifts back-and-forth between).
