How to complete the impossibly difficult first major level of the game.
Disclaimer
Maybe one reason I haven’t made such a webpage as this is because I avoid discussing actual use.
In my 1988 announcement party I was asked if I recommend use – my answer was no.
This website and the Egodeath theory do not recommend use. They recommend studying and understanding ego death.
Motivation for this page: Summarize better-explained and more constructive “Bad Trip/ How to Complete this Damn Game” advice.
Link to here from top of other pages and site nav.
Status: placeholder draft.
I’ll go ahead and publish this page as draft quality now, so I can instead continue working on the Challenging Experiences Questionnaire (CEQ) postmortem analysis of what went wrong and how control-loss questions got dropped by the Griffiths group in 2016. Planned page title: “How Control-Loss Got Omitted from the Challenging Experiences Questionnaire CEQ“.

Summary here of my more sophisticated articulate equivalent of the folk guidance.
Folk Wisdom Summary
The folk wisdom is: “Surrender, submit, accept lack of control, approach shadow dragon monster and ask what it teaches.”
That’s per Griffiths’ 2008 article “Guidelines for Safety” and Janikian’s 2019 book Your Psilocybin Mushroom Companion (see my article “Standard Hazy Trip Advice on Surrender to the Shadow, Trust, Submit, and Let Go of Control”).
Summary of What to Do, What the Mind Is Made to Do to Resolve and Transform
The clearer and more direct solution wording, per the Egodeath theory:
Rely on eternalism-thinking, and mentally repudiate relying on possibilism-thinking. Art motif: {stand on right leg, not left leg}.
Upon seeing how personal control is a 2-level system in a non-branching world, not autonomous monolithic control agency steering in a branching possibilities tree, the mind is made to consciously put trust in the source of control thoughts.
You don’t control the source of your control thoughts.
The mind has always been given control thoughts from the uncontrollable source of control thoughts.
