Can’t decide the best framing? permute all combinations of them. Each framing contributes.
The only plant that’s sufficient, alone, for full expression and assertion of the Egodeath theory is Psilocybin. Efficient.
Ergot is sufficient for defining the Core theory, but Psilocybin is sufficient for both the Core/ Cybernetics theory and the Mytheme theory.
History Hypotheses
Mystery Religion & mixed-wine symposium banqueting was more inspired by Psilocybin than Ergot. In Ancient Near East, Mediterranean, Levant, Europe, England.
Christianity & Christendom was more inspired by Psilocybin than Amanita.
The correct definition of “more inspired” is, per the concerns of Egodeath theory.
Esoteric-state history had scopolamine and Amanita, but the inspired parts are from psilocybin.
Abbreviated Models of the Classic Developmental Sequence
first phase, second phase, third phase
possibilism-thinking, eternalism-thinking
naive possibilism-thinking, eternalism-thinking with qualified possibilism-thinking
ordinary state, altered state, ordinary state
possibilism experiential state, eternalism experiential state, possibilism experiential state
ordinary state with possibilism experiential mode and possibilism mental model; altered state with eternalism experiential mode and eternalism mental model; ordinary state with possibilism experiential mode and eternalism mental model
definitions: ordinary state always brings possibilism experiential mode; altered state always brings eternalism experiential mode. strictly correlated.
ordinary state with possibilism mental model; altered state with eternalism mental model; ordinary state with eternalism mental model
if the culture is not informed by the altered state; if an organic lone cognitive frontier explorer who is burdened with figuring out the eternalism mental model and lacks luxury of being taught it first: 4 state/model combinations, 2nd is unstable if probed/ tested/ observed:
ordinary state with possibilism mental model; altered state with possibilism mental model; altered state with eternalism mental model; ordinary state with eternalism mental model
possibilism experiential state with possibilism mental model; eternalism experiential state with possibilism mental model; eternalism experiential state with eternalism mental model; possibilism experiential state with eternalism mental model
There’s a delay: when switching to the altered state, even though the eternalism experiential mode is immediate, it takes a while to form the eternalism mental model.
The new state produces the new mental model, eventually.
if taught Transcendent Knowledge before altered state, gives a smooth, civilized, efficient transformation – add education step 2 instead of turbulent step 2:
ordinary state with possibilism mental model; ordinary state with eternalism mental model; altered state with eternalism mental model; ordinary state with eternalism mental model
definition: The eternalism mental model includes, distinctly in contrast like adult carrying youth, the possibilism mental model.
The Eadwine image, row 2 right: sage relying on neither left leg possibilism-thinking nor right leg eternalism-thinking – or, both, differentiated and integrated. carries non-branching limbless youth. based on stable mushroom base.
definitions:
possibilism = freewill, branching possibilities, 1-level autonomous control, open future, non-existing future
eternalism = no-free-will, non-branching possibilities, 2-level dependent control, closed future, preexisting future
The Two Legs of the Egodeath Theory
the Egodeath theory stands on two distinct integrated legs:
the Phase 1 core theory; the loose cognition, mental constructs, block-universe eternalism, dependent-control theory
the Phase 2 entheogen metaphor theory
History Phases of Developing the Egodeath Theory
phase 1 = 1985-1998 = the cybernetic theory
phase 2 = 1999-2022 = the mytheme theory
2008-2022 = advanced mytheme decoding: possibilism vs eternalism; handedness; non-branching
