The moment you propose moving from a lower level to a higher level through a conditional gate, you immediately fall into forming Ken Wilber’s zillion-stage, 3-stage, 12-level ladder, by extending the concept of moving from an early level to a later, better level.
Climb the planetary spheres through the gates, starry sphere of fixed stars, & beyond the eternalism-ruled cosmos.
Things to Inventory

3 Levels
1) naive possibilism-thinking = beardless, left foot down, right hand up
2) eternalism-thinking = right foot down, left hand up, beardless or bearded
3) qualified possibilism-thinking = funnel beard limbless, no foot down. hyper-transcendent, above the non-branching eternalism block universe level
consistency vs flexibility (tolerance, play)
A scheme that ends with eternalism, as level 2, can be out-marketed by a scheme that claims to be ultra-transcendent, having a level 3+.
or say 2+, for a simple model that can’t be surpassed:
possibilism then eternalism+.
qualified possibilism-thinking = eternalism+
The Egodeath theory 
It’s difficult to think that such
an important act of transition from ordinary to extraordinary, from possibilism to mystic altered state, eternalism, to qualified possibilism eternalism, can become defined by and restricted to, the wordless drawings in one item of art.

It is surprising. I would also like to get (along the lines of Browns’ call) more high-resolution images of Mithraism tauroctony photos, like Cyberdisciple found hi-res Psalter. Not as easy to find as one might think, on the web. This Psalter image is dense, but so are some tauroctonies including the reversed & blurry cover of Entheos.

It’s worrisome when a pattern in Christian art, interpreted as expression for mind transition via entheogen/ psilocybin, can limit mind transition metaphor, by attaching it to only one specific set of artwork.
