Projecting Too Many Mushrooms, in person!: the “Travel” fallacy

Done; copied section to: https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/11/saint-martin-frescos-%e2%9e%b3%f0%9f%96%96%f0%9f%8c%b4%f0%9f%94%aa%f0%9f%8d%84%f0%9f%96%bc%f0%9f%94%8d%f0%9f%94%ac%f0%9f%a7%90/#Travel-Fallacy

Critique the “must travel” fallacy

Critique Browns’ claim that travel makes you see clearly instead of projecting/ reading into “I strictly report what I see: I see caps that have been painted over so are obscured, not visible” –

How is in-person hallucinating/projecting any better than projecting onto blurry internet photos?

Following in the ardent footsteps of advocate John Rush who wrote “This … painting … clearly represents mushrooms (manna) being handed out”,

Julie Brown saw first-hand “that the caps have been made not visible

What kind of Wassonian mealy-mouthed double-talk is this?

Welcome to the wack world of entheogen scholarship.

I had to fight against earlier entheogen scholars’ mis-reading and projection and interpolation into the evidence, to think & see clearly.

Only by examining Browns’ blurry internet photos (eg Acrobat PDF fullscreen, & from Browns’ Word .doc file) along with multiple other ppls’ Blurry Internet Photos (eg 1964 french tourism site) was I able to get a still-hazy look at the STICKS & FEATHERS, which is what’s in fact shown.

Though, I wish to see & photograph Martin myself.

Important b/c it proves and ties together equivalence of … it more effectively bolsters interpretation of both of the overlapped mythemes, bolstering the interp of all 3 elements/ how to interpret the 3 distinct yet overlapping motifs.

mushrooms = celestial erection (lifted garment) = mushroom hem
= no-branching = stand on right leg

lifted garment = mushroom hem = mushrooms
= Psilocybin

Combines overlap of John Rush motifs “celestial erection” and “mushroom hems”.

John Rush always talks about the “celestial erection” and “mushroom hems” motifs as a pair, not an overlap, 5x per Index of book.

The Best Mushroom Hem is the Lifted Garment

Rush never points out that the best msh hem is the lifted garment. msh hem = a mini lifted cloth, and

mushroom hem as mini lifted garment

Usually the “celestial erection” motif is thought of as distinct from the “mushroom hem” motif.

Only 25% of lifted garments look like mushroom hems or mushrooms.

omg decoded by Cybermonk [3:29 pm February 13, 2023] – HE’S STANDING ON RIGHT FOOT! NEED CROP

Features: add:

  • L foot float, R foot touching ground, = standing on R leg = eternalism/ eternalism-thinking.

BUT feet are problematic: DO A FEET AND HAND INVENTORY

LEFT guy right heel off ground, bad

left guy touched by l hand, bad

r guy touched by R hand, good

r guy left foot touch non-branching trunk, bad.

I’m not getting clear readings, except middle guy R foot touching ground, L foot is not – that is significant.

Here’s something – right hand touches guy who has the lifted garment. left = no lifted.

L guy has mushroom hem, so it’s a wash??

Score! 2x {lifted garment} above {non-branching} Mushroom Tree — not Above {branching} Tree

Application to Manufacture Psilocybin in Oregon State, per Oregon Health Authority per Measure 109

pdf summary fact sheet: https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/PREVENTIONWELLNESS/Documents/Manufacturer-License-Fact-Sheet.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

Email Received Feb 10 2023 from Oregon Psilocybin Authority

From: Oregon Health Authority
email addr: oha — service.govdelivery.com
Subject: Psilocybin Services Update + New Resources
Date: Feb. 10, 2023

Greetings,

Are you planning to apply for a psilocybin facilitator, service center, manufacturer, or testing lab license in Oregon?

Required operational forms and documents are now available on the Oregon Psilocybin Services (OPS) website.

We also have fact sheets for each of the four license types:

We are now one month into accepting applications for licensure. Our team has been working to provide support to those who are working through the application process as well as responding to many questions from future applicants and members of the public.

As of today, we have received the following number of submitted applications in the Training, Licensing, and Compliance (TLC) system: 

Facilitator applications:            0
Service Center applications:    4
Manufacturer applications:     10
Laboratory applications:           2
Worker Permit applications:  116

“We understand it may take time for applicants to work through certain requirements before submitting their applications for OPS review.

“For example, before applying for facilitator licenses, students may still be finishing their psilocybin facilitator training programs.

“Those who intend to apply for service center and manufacturer licenses may be working with local governments on land use compatibility issues. And those who intend to apply for laboratory licenses may be working through the accreditation process.

Once submitted, applications take time to review and approve. We may be working with applicants on providing additional information or missing documents, waiting for the background check processes to be completed, and conducting site inspections for service center, manufacturer, and testing lab applications.

We want to thank you for bringing questions. We hope to issue our first licenses in the next couple of months and will keep you updated!

With Gratitude,

The Oregon Psilocybin Services Team”

Brown Feb. 9, 2023: Announce Decoded Items Held Out in St. Martin Entry into Jerusalem


Draft of Brown announcement, Cybermonk, Feb. 9 into 10, 2023

I decoded Browns’ items held out to Jesus — together with Jesus’ finger shapes.

Jesus’ branching, left hand, held-apart fingers contrasted against non-branching, held-together right-hand fingers

matches the contrast:

branching feathers contrasted against non-branching sticks

ultimately describes:

mental worldmodel transformation from possibilism to eternalism

I finally adequately decoded Browns’ items held out to Jesus — together with Jesus’ finger shapes.  
It took less than a year (2022-03-21 to 2023-02-09).
Or it took 2023-2016 = 7 years.

The key theme to look for is items & imagery that contrasts {branching} vs. {non-branching}. 
= appearance vs. reality.
= the ordinary-state appearance of possibilism vs. altered-state revealed eternalism.

_____________________

I report that I see tops that are not visible

Book p 112: “just stick with the facts, with what you actually see in the fresco.”

That fails to happen: why are we asserting “whose tops have been painted over or somehow obscured”.  

We’re talking about “tops” — that you DON’T SEE.  

This violates the explicit agreement and commitment.  Julie agrees to “just stick with the facts, what you actually see” — yet straightaway is talking about imaginary “tops”, what “tops”?  

“I see invisible tops”??  

“offering Jesus three stems[true?] with his right hand, whose tops[what tops?] have been painted over or somehow obscured.”

Julie violates the request and her commitment to fulfil it, speculating imaginatively about “stems” and “tops”.  

We don’t know that the sticks are “stems” (fair interp.), and especially, where did these hallucinogen “tops that aren’t visible” come from?  

What “tops”?  

The 2-way-confirmed agreement was “only talk about what you SEE in the fresco.”  

There are no tops seen, so what rhetoric-justification is there for claiming we’re only talking about what’s shown, what you SEE, and then proceed to talk about “tops” that are somehow NOT visible – yet still asserted to be there, directly violating the explicit set-up agreement!  😄

The result is a mis-framing rhetoric move: we agree to only report facts, for the purpose of reporting imagined things that aren’t there and then claiming that we are reporting things that ARE there.

What happened is precisely NOT “just stick with the facts, with what you actually see in the fresco.”  “Sure.  … three stems, whose tops have been painted over or somehow obscured.”

That’s a hallucinogen-based, forced reading of the sticks-and-feathers that ARE visible.

What’s held out is sticks and feathers (that is what’s visible, what is seen), but Brown — under the explicit 2-way agreement to only stick to what IS seen — said “stems and tops”.  

“Stems and tops is an imported interpretation, added TO what’s actually seen, and is NOT sticking to the facts.

We don’t know they’re stems; and, there are no tops seen, despite trying to cover-over that reality by the set-up of “we’re strictly reporting what we actually see.”  

What’s being obscured here is the fact that tops are NOT seen, that there are no tops.

Actually, Jesus displays two hands with finger shapes held toward the youth’s items, and the youth holds out sticks and feathers toward Jesus’ finger shapes.

So, what we are given, that demands interpretation, is sticks and feathers, held toward Jesus’ displayed finger-shapes.

Both figures present branching vs. (ie. contrasted against) non-branching forms to each other’s forms/shapes, matching the contrast presented by the other figure.

________

Where are the gates??

Kupfer: “The second phase of the episode on the west wall isolates the walled city of Jerusalem.  Youths, their mouths open in song, crowd the gates; others within the city drape the walls or cut away at the treetops””

What gates?!  Where?

I need photos of St. Martin: gate?  Isn’t there a gate somewhere?  I found the full curved knife the Browns didn’t show the holder of, upper right of Entry scene.

Browns’ 2019 article’s wording:

“Christ is riding on an ass with his arms outstretched to receive a plant-like gift (of which only the stems are visible), offered by one of the youths who with his other [must say “left”] hand is holding the stem of one of the mushrooms.”

Browns’ 2016 book The Psychedelic Gospels p. 112:

“his [Jesus’] arms reaching out toward the youths … One of the youths is leaning forward , holding on to the stem … in his left hand, while offering Jesus three stems with this right hand, whose tops have been painted over or somehow obscured.”

No “feathers” mentioned??

White painted feathers + deterioration + blurry internet photos.

“stems” = sticks; sticks have no branching (after {removing branching twigs}) and not forming a Y shape, but a II or |i| shape.

Y/II

Y contrasted against II

Y vs. I  morphology.  The {king/steersman} {holding the donkey reins} is killed at the {vulnerability} by the {spear} {blade} which {removes branching}.

Book p. 112:

“Jesus and his disciples are traveling toward the gates of Jerusalem, where a rotund man [no, beardless youth] on top of the tower is using a long knife to cut through the stem of a mushroom.”

Article: “Jesus with arms outstretched toward the large psilocybin mushrooms in the Entry

Not false, but, a motif-driven description must highlight that Jesus is displaying finger shapes, toward something near (b/c distance is important): the sticks and feathers held out toward Jesus’ finger-shapes.

A victory procession train.

What gate? Where?  I don’t see it.  It must be there; {gate} is central.  Why is no gate shown?  Need full 360 photo coverage.  

The donkey’s {right foot} is above a {doorway} = gate.

Image search:
https://www.google.com/search?q=st.+martin+entry+into+jerusalem+fresco&tbm=isch

* Not plant-like gift.  Sticks & feathers.  Sticks are non-branching or removed branching.  Feathers are branching.

* Not arms receiving; not offering a gift.  Jesus & the youth are holding out matching contrasting pairs of shapes: branching & non-branching.  

Jesus’ left fingers are branching like the feathers, right held together non-branching like the sticks.

* “stem” but it’s a more-branching-tree stem, than the right hand placement & plant.

Branching = possibilism-thinking.  

Non-branching = eternalism.  

The mind in the altered state, the main “effect” of Pilzbaum, is transformation of the mental worldmodel from possibilism to eternalism.  

My 1988 article draft contrasted the two mental worldmodels (egoic & transcendent) – here they are depicted, as {branching} contrasted with {non-branching}.

“On the far right of the fresco stands another youth holding the stem of a diamond-shaped frond (possibly a palm frond) in his left hand and a long slightly curved sword in his right hand.”

*  “diamond frond” – I have identified this plant as Psilocybe semi-lance-ata; I have identified this plant and its motif-network usage.

*  Not a curved sword; holding the non-branching middle of a spear aimed at king Jesus’ side.  

A curved lance — or semi-lance, from the relatively non-branching plant held by {right hand}.

“We can only speculate why a mushroom tree is growing on top (or out of) the roof of a stone tower.”

Above the gate.  

Browns wondered about why the plant grows from a “stone tower” – I wrote elsewhere about {rock} before; but now, I note that the tower {guards} the {gate}.

{through the gate} is all-important, and requires a {key/ password/ sacrificial payment} and to {remove outer garment/cloak} of appearances.

Key date: March 21, 2022

I am posting this decoding-announcement in this key thread that contains Professor Brown’s milestone providing of the March 21, 2022 Marcia Kupfer heavily highlighted passage about youths in trees cutting branches.

My March 21, 2022 reply that is the first place I ever wrote the important lexicon-phrase {branching-message mushroom trees}.

  1. Browns had to write Kupfer’s passage in their 2016 book The Psychedelic Gospels with faint emphasis, and I highlighted it there when the book first shipped.
  2. But Browns had to try again and put that Kupfer passage in their 2019 article Entheogens in Christian art: Wasson, Allegro, and the Psychedelic Gospels, with strong emphasis this time.
  3. But that didn’t get through to me either, so finally Professor Brown had to personally email me the heavily highlighted version of their passage, to make me finally see the passage in its fullness.

Now, Feb. 9, 2023, I have finally tonight adequately decoded/interpreted the Browns’ tree-guy’s items held out to match Jesus’ finger shapes, together with Jesus’ finger shapes which I don’t think the Browns noted in the book or article.  

For St. Martin frescos, you get 1 point every time you write “left” or “right” re: hand or foot or plant side.  

This genre employs motifs/ depictions/ images of {handedness} + {non-branching}; ie:

{left} contrasted against {right} = 

{branching} contrasted against {non-branching} =

possibilism contrasted against eternalism.

Book p. 112: (the 2nd copy in this message):

“Jesus and his disciples are traveling toward the gates of Jerusalem, where a rotund man [no; a beardless youth] on top of the [gate-guard] tower is using a long knife to cut through the stem …”

p. 112: “Walking directly behind Jesus are two men, possibly disciples, holding their arms up in the gesture of standing in awe.”

Don’t the Entry two guys behind Jesus have halos?  Yes, the near guy has Amanita undercap; gold circle in red band.   So, definitely disciples. (Or, less likely, Old Testament figures.)

Aggh! Brown-certified Blurry Internet Photos.

🖼🔍🧐🤷‍♂️

Not gesture of awe — take greatest note of Jesus’richer gestures/ finger shapes.  Remedied above.

They are — flexibly, one way or another — gestures of non-branching (or, gestures of “contrasting non-branching against branching”), with left hand, displaying finger shapes, like Eadwine’s initiation image classroom testing scene, but with slightly different meaning choices to express the same message of contrast.

Both scenes (Entry & Examdepict “branching vs. non-branching” shapes in flexible ways

Avoid magical thinking, even “left vs. right” isn’t rigidly, statically sancrosanct; isn’t the message of inherent import.

What’s important for you as a mystic artist is to depict that you comprehend that the message is “non-branching contrasted against branching”, referring to possibilism vs. eternalism world models.

Magical rigid thinking won’t do; there is no magical hand gesture that’s the correct answer, statically.  

Instead, you as an artist have to invent your own expression to prove you comprehend the message – not the envelope, not the outer form, but the principle.

Here is Eadwine’s class exam scene with Browns’ “gesture of awe”, but in this meaning-scheme, these failing students indicate (by displaying left hand) “rely on egoic, autonomous control in a branching world” like the left side of the pink key-tree.

March Is Slag on Meditation Month

Announcement: Annual Month of March Is Slag on Meditation Month, Right Back At Ya Even Worse than Meditation Constantly Abuses, Insults, Lies About, and Dishonors Psilocybin

Meditation Advocate = Smug Liar

Advanced Meditator = Advanced Avoider of the Real Deal

fruitless, barren, meditation is a dry well. they– [8:43 p.m. February 6, 2023]: They Neither {Go in Through the Gate}, Nor Do They Let Anyone Else {Pass Through}

Meditation Hucksters: the new Pharisees

They Neither {Go in Through the Gate}, Nor Do They Let Anyone Else {Pass Through}

Announcing upcoming March:

National Slag on Meditation month here at Egodeath Theory, JUST AS MEDITATION HUCKSTERS CONSTANTLY SLAG ON PSILOCYBIN.

Goal: Insult, condemn, and demonize and diminish phony, fraudulent meditation, even much more than meditation smears, slanders, dishonors, robs, and lies about Psilocybin, which is the Real Deal.

You know how everyone is so comfortable getting pleasure out of condemning Western religion?

Do exact same simply, to Eastern phony fraudulent lie-based Mediationanity.

What worth is a tree, without fruit?? It would be like meditation: a worthless tree that bears no fruit.

Fruits Dangling Under Liberty Caps

[8:24 p.m. February 6, 2023] The two fruits under left and right side of liberty cap caps by Eadwine = Transcendent Knowledge; {fruit} = Transcendent Knowledge. A mushroom contains fruit: Transcendent Knowledge.

It’s not tracked here which cap is from which folio. See folio pages such as https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f141.item.zoom

Hatsis Provides Good Images, 50% Valid Info, and Completely Worthless Arguments

I am not assessing all of his works, nor his potential. re: mushroom imagery in Greek & Christian art, he provides:

Highly valuable images, not sure if credit goes to Irvin, not sure where these images are on the web – Irvin didn’t provide them online? Rush’s gallery has some of them.

It is good that we have Hatsis’ articles, though the reasoning is more a misfire and misleading, than helpful and useful to engage.

Wildly off-base interpretations eg .. [list]

He is the mixedest of bags.

Totally worthless arguments.

Many provided facts are right, and many are wrong.

todo: streamline the Golden Ps page

streamline the Explain Away o Matic page – that latter would be a great place to put retorts — but that would wreck the o-matic page design – so keep entries as short skimmable then link to where detail is moved to(?)

Keep Hatsis’ helpful research in Golden page,

done: move out his inane 1-sided arguments that couldn’t possibly convince anyone, that he just broadcasts but never engages with 2-way critical response, so he imagines that his arguments appear solid (they do not at all look solid; they look mentally challenged and ideological, the requisite necessary irrationality that’s a hallmark of the committed skeptic.

Definition of “sub-specious argument”:

Arguments that give the appearance of validity NOT to other people, but ONLY to the one making the argument.

Result: foolish-looking bluster and bravado: the person carries themselves AS IF they made an impressive argument, when in fact, people are ROFL at the person revealing how utterly pinhead-foolish they are.

😑 🤡

The utter, manifest fool who carries himself as the wise authority.

I happen to know the type, thoroughly; it’s a combination formula.

Only the utter, manifest fool carries himself with such perfect, complete self-assurance.

Such a personality type has no need of any error correction mechanism — and so, he goes sailing off by himself into insane outer space, lost all touch with reality, the insane king.

100% confident, and 100% foolish-looking.

This ideal historian, Hatsis, who has replaced Panofsky as “the most influential art historian”, made ME look like a fool by repeating his mistake of mis-calling it “the Gold Munich Psalter“.

Its title is conventionally the Golden Munich Psalter, and so now I have to re-post this page to correct the URL due to his error. Thanks a lot.

Wildly off-the-wall critique. He is a reliable historian, in this way.

Add to my Explain-Away-o-Matic button page:

“This scene can’t be a depiction of The Mushroom (🍄), because this scene is violent. How are you gonna explain that??!! It completely destroys what your guys’s position is! Thus the backstory prevents that meaning of this art image. If you knew anything about how to read and do scholarship, like me, you wouldn’t have committed this FATAL BLUNDER. YOU GUYS GOT A BIG PROBLEM! If you guys keep up this bullsht, I’ll send you crying in a corner. I’m done acting nice, calm, and easygoing. 🤬 😤” – pretty much an exact quote of Hatsis’ online amateur web blogger post.

I need to keep the Gold Ps page streamlined, and either create a companion Gold Dump idea-dev page, or just use this page – d/k if … it’s unlikely I will constrain relevance to Gold Ps. in particular.

Mythemes: key/ password, in/ out/ up/ down through gate, remove garment, hold removed branch or feather, turn to look right/ behind/ up, left/ right heel, benediction gestures

Below is the worked-up content, moved to here to streamline the Golden Munich Psalter page.

This is extremely, truly the world’s highest-value content dump below, I’m about to paste below, moved from the Golden Munich Psalter page.

Breakthroughs and Solidifying Sureness of Hypotheses

Confirmed {garment} decoding cloak, several angles coming together

Shed clothing when pass through gate.

Clothing is illusion is possibilism-thinking which covers reality like lid covering snake-basket.

To remove clothes is to lift lid is to make perceptible eternalism-thinking, the experiencital mode, make mind’s functioning explicit and observable and testable. that = remove clothes.

Instead of the layer of virtual possibilism layer

[12:56 a.m. February 5, 2023]

the “possibilism” mental worldmodel = outer garment

the “eternalism” mental worldmodel

Remove the virtual possibilism layer {cloak} {OUTER garment} [10:53 a.m. February 4, 2023] your outer garment Confirmed Garment

Dionysus holds the “eternalism” mental worldmodel in his right hand.

Ariadne holds the “possibilism” mental worldmodel in her right hand.

____

Dionysus holds eternalism-thinking in her right hand.

Ariadne holds possibilism-thinking in her right hand.

{garment} = possibilism-thinking

{outer garment} = possibilism-thinking

“outer” is flexible AS LONG AS YOU DEMONSTRATE comprehensino of branching – ironically, simplifying it to the max, you POSITIVELY say “branching” Let me explain Transcendent Knowledge to you fastest: here is BRANCHING.

#1. FIRST OF all, BRANCHING.

Take the idea of branching.

Then invert it.

Presenting the ideas of Transcendent Knowledge to you: Firstly, BRANCHING. Then, contrast against that, “NOT”.

  1. Branching.
  2. Not.

garment = the “possibilism” mental worldmodel

they wore an undergarment and an overgarment.

Remove overgarment.

Come through gate, requires removing your overgarment of seeming possibilism. reveal eternalism.

the higher controller epiphany reveals Zeus reveals his kingship to Semele, remove layers of clothing to make mind’s functioning perceivable and testable/ trialable.

Put the lower mind on trial testing probing observing its limits and dynamics and seizure potential.

Become adult, transformation from possibilism to eternalism, remove the garment of appearances which is possibilism mental model.’

Outside of Static Images, Could Be a Movement/ Motion

Later comment, [1:20 a.m. February 6, 2023] –

this “motion” idea was transitional, mostly.

Making a scissors motion is good idea, and static images could be said to represent that, but it’s a bit off; a stronger better sounder idea is that the entire class of gestures is fair game for the artists:

the only rule is that you have to consciously represent / depict “branching vs. non-branching”, along with other motifs to depict the revelation of transformation from possibilism to eternalism.

/ end of the later, [1:20 a.m. February 6, 2023] comment.

Abstractly, generally, the family of gesture motions, is “that gesture whichh you convey “branching, or rather non-branching” with. Pls demonstrate now the hand motion to indicate that you know that THE PASSWORD THROUGH THE GATE IS BRANCHING, BRANCHING IS THE KEY {key} for {gate} = {branching} of the {non-branching type}. [12:56 a.m. February 5, 2023]

One word, ironically, to get through the gate into the kingdom of Transcendent Knowledge: the word ironically is “branching”.

[12:56 a.m. February 5, 2023] {key} {gate} {branching}

The {key} to get through the {gate} into {Psilocybinland} (Psilocybin-Eternalismland) is {branching} (ie non-branching)

Psiloosecogbinland

Psiloosecogbinland

So Make Any Gesture of Non-branching: holding a REMOVED branch, hold branch, yes, BUT hold a REMOVED branch, a REMOVED feather. [1:12 a.m. February 5, 2023] LETS DO SOME ART but right heel not left heel.

{heel} {step through gate from left heel to right heel shed garment under higher controller password gate branch that’s cut removed branch.

Holding a non-removed branch (with left hand, as a rule) is bad.

Holding a removed branch (with right hand, as a rule) is good.

{removed branch} is the {key} to get through the {gate} into {higher kingdom} {shed cloak; uncloak} reveal underworkings underneath appearances

Basket = appearance, snake = hidden veiled cloaked reality behind the blocking basket

{branching} … {cut branching} the {key} = {remove garment} = {remove branching} = {remove feather} Branching

The key to get through the: gate shed layer of garment, hold a removed branch and/or plucked feather.

Jesus I DONT’ SEE ANY SIGN OF AWAREness she’s holding a branch, though I prominently noticed snake;

I noticed snake.

I noticed 3-layer branching.

I didn’t write “holding branch”. Why wouldn’t .. why didn’t … Check the Egodeath Yahoo Group , when did I finally mention she holds branch?

Here is the breakthorugh announcement Dec 1, 2013:
https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/egodeath-yahoo-group-digest-124/#message6340

Found it: a year-long delayed reaction (little posting that year), can’t tell how slow I was… after a year, I casually am familiar of course that she holds branch, by Dec. 15, 2014:
https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/egodeath-yahoo-group-digest-125/

[a year ago, Nov 2013,] “I turned the page of the Joseph Campbell book and saw in black & white the Eve half of a diptych painting, by Cranach the Younger and/or Elder, buddy of Martin Luther, showing Eve holding branch of tree of knowledge, branching antlers behind her, holding branch in front of her.”

There’s very good content I need to review in those posts, discoveries that Calvin was a hypercalvinist.

Nov 2013, I wrote “snake”

i wrote apple (apple turbo charged the meaning) it says “gnosis is of branching & snake”.

My Nov 29 2013 question:

If Cranach knows that (gnosis is of moving from branching to snake, referring to possibilism vs eternalism), then OMG how many other people were in on it?

What cloak does a bird wear? A bird’s garment is branching feathers. Feathers are bird clothes, the bird’s cloak hiding the underlying workings of the birdt.

[1:18 a.m. February 5, 2023] Remove the barrier to viewing the workings of the mind. Going {up} through {Saturn gate} = going {out} = going {in} = going {down} from possibilism to eternalism (thinking, mental worldmodel).

These are all the same, expressing non-branching ie eternalism, by gestures of contrasting branching vs nonbranching: I am holding out a branch (branching) but it is removed/cut (non-branching). Thus achieved expressing both branching and non-branching.

Ironically, the only thing that Douris and Cranache had to show me: the nonbranching snake + 3 layers of branching at Eve’s legs, stag antlers, plant branch but I am too dumb that day to mark hand (left) holding branch. WHY DID I NOT FLAG THAT SHE’S HOLDING ON TO BRANCH u gotta be shttng me, no f’ing way, DID I NOT MARK THAT SHE HOLDS BRANCH? not sure. test that:

Defective art: stick-branches are not exactly parallel 😖 😵 GIVE UP

THERE IS NO HOPE, because not the correct static angle.

It has to be exactly 0 degrees or 90 degrees between the two sticks.

And it can’t ever change, OR ELSE THE MAGIC GESTURE FAILS.

At least they are removed branches.

Which Jesus Is Showing the Wrong Angle of Fingers?

Efficient Jesus (1 hand, 2 fingers) vs.
Expressive Jesus (2 hands 5 fingers)

WHAT IS THE SECRET ANGLE THAT’S THE ONE TRUE ANGLE??

Who is the False Jesus: the one holding right fingers together, or the one holding right fingers splayed??

🤔 🤔 🤯 🔥

[3:23 a.m. February 5, 2023] oh wait i just remembered, it’s not fair, one Jesus is more efficient: half-spread two fingers.

Jesus B uses two fingers of right hand plus 3 fingers of left hand: 2 hands and 5 fingers, vs. Efficient Jesus

Finger motion: right fingers relatively splayed, more branching.

UNFAIR/invalid/ inconsistent comparison B/C HIS GESTURE IS A 2-HAND DESIGN: IOW YOU CAN’T SEPARATE L & R INTO ISOLATED PICTURES.

1-hand Jesus C:

You must compare BOTH hands at the same time, of every Jesus, if any of them employ left as well.

WARNING: THIS IS ONLY HALF OF THE GESTURE GIVEN BY THIS Jesus B IMAGE; must include right hand in this case, to do a valid comparison vs. Jesus A. [[3:31 a.m. February 5, 2023]
Right hand. Crop by Cybermonk. St. Martin chapel. Right fingers held together, not splayed; nonbranching.
THIS adequate crop of Jesus B is the morphologically appropriate/valid image (showing both hands) to compare to Jesus A.
Not from Brown. Crop by Cybermonk.
Left hand. but WARNING: this is only HALF of the hand gesture in this image. Crop by Cybermonk. Angle of splay – mathematics of Benediction Gesture.
Emphasized branching. It’s harder to depict morphology of non-branching – eg show removing a branch.

Correct Fair Comparison of Jesus A Against Jesus B 🤜💥🤛

1-hand Jesus C

1-hand Jesus A

Finger motion: right fingers relatively splayed, more branching.

Finger motion: right fingers relatively splayed, more branching.

1-Hand Efficient vs. 2-Hand Expressive

Show that you comprehend branching vs. non-branching, meaning transformation from possibilism to eternalism:

WAIT where’s Jesus C for another, winning, 1 hand/2 finger expression of eternalism consciousness:

St Martin (Jesus B) is the key to decoding the hyper-terse morphology of Jesus A & Jesus C.

You have to compare a decent size set of variants of a motif, to decode it. [3:50 a.m. February 5, 2023]

Handedness Decoding Failure in 2014 😞

todo: trace my history of failure to comprehend/ recognize {handedness} in the midst of decoding art motifs 😵

by dec 2014 (few posts that year) I FINALLY noted that in Cranach Eve Tempted , she is holding branch. WHY IN THE LIVING HELL WOULD I NOT HAVE WRITTEN “HOLD BRANCH” ON PAGE OF CAMPBELL BOOK NOV 29 2013 WHEN I LISTED “ALL” THE BRANCHING ASPECTS OF THE IMAGE?

PAST-ME = DUMB

RIGHT: Cybermonk of Nov. 29, 2013: correct hand, incorrect foot. How in the hell can you excitedly list “all” branching & non-branching elements of the cranach image Eve Tempted, yet FAIL to note:

holding branch

w left hand

Christmas 2015: Figured out tentatively as a question:

🤔 Couldn’t {standing on right leg} mean relying on eternalism for mental worldmodel of control-in-world??

At that point, what I knew and discusseed with Max in effect, was {turn to look to the right} – [11:32 a.m. February 5, 2023] {look right} = perceive eternalism –

todo: get picture of Entry into Jerusalem scene with Jesus turning to look right, behind him. keep an eye out for this image, re-find it.

Progressive Decoding of {handedness} and {non-branching}

mytheme decoded: {turn look right behind}

1) before 12/2015: decoded sort of, {turn to look right, behind you} (but I didn’t have my rich network that I have now, to hook that decoding-element to)

also check concrete instance of a myth: Abraham turned to look right, behind, up and see ram caught helplessly in thicket

[11:56 a.m. February 5, 2023] got confirmation that in both of the mushroom-Isaac pictures, Abraham looks right and up. right AND up!! 🎉 + 🎉

🎉 + 🎉

This is happy because of high degree of closure with the first time that I wrote, discussed with Max Freakout & Cyberdisciple – “turn to look to the right, river lethe”,

{look right} = remember (even after returning to ordinary state of consciousness)

{look left} = forget, upon returning to the ordinary state of consciousness.

mytheme decoded: x

2) 12/2015: I leveraged my (partial) decoding of {turn look right behind} to hypothesize: {stand right leg} = eternalism.

mytheme decoded: x

3) 11/2020: Applied and tested the above hypoth : can it decode John Lash’s Brown-certified Blurry Internet Image of 2/5 of 1/3 = 13.3% of Eadwine’s initiation image (which, 1) I had no idea that there was a surrounding picture – purely in isolation, and 2) didn’t know it was from John Lash, or that 3) it was first uploaded May-Aug 2008)

mytheme decoded: x

4) March 2022: Engage brain, back-apply my eadwine decoding to all my other familiar images eg Eustace crossing river.

{river crossing = gate} as I mentally noted last night, feb 4, 2023.

mytheme decoded: mytheme-complex/cluster/network decoded Feb 4 2023: {key, gate, garment, non-branching}, border-crossing eg

breakthrough last night into this morning, feb 4 into feb 5, the nature of this breakthrough is, I decoded a “mytheme-complex”, centered on the iconic Entry into Jerusalem image/scene and its tropes/ art motifs.

[1:12 a.m. February 5, 2023] : {river crossing = gate}; broadly/abstractly: {boundary crossing = gate} therefore all applies: {key}, {payment}, {removing/ repudiating/ sacrificing}, {remove garment}, {reveal underlying}

{boundary crossing} is a high-level mytheme paradigm that requires expression in some low-level particular form eg {fording river}, {passing in|out|up|down through guarded gate}.

Wherever you have Campbellian {boundary crossing}, that motif/ mytheme connects to the network of mythemes like key, remove garment, repudiate/ sacrifice child-thinking, etc.

key concept: “decoding network”; to decode is NOT to say “X means Y”; to decode is more like whole-network meaning-shifting network.

Serpens

Search: https://www.google.com/search?q=serpens – “The first known use of Serpens was in 1715″

Does serpent express comprehension of [branching vs nonbranching]?

Does serpent express comprehension of [branching vs nonbranching]?

how does it express branching? has legs. and wings = arms, so, HAS 4 LIMBS.

how does it express not-branching? IS A SNAKE.

A SNAKE WITH LIMBS, A SNAKE (= X) & HAS LIMBS (= Y)

A SNAKE WITH LIMBS, A SNAKE (= ETERNALISM ) & HAS LIMBS (= PSM

What is the answer? Something that expresses both branching and non-branching. Hold a removed feather and/or removed branches. Or, best to cover your bets, hold removed branch and hold a plucked (removed) feather.

How is a cut branch like a plucked feather? winged dragon [1:28 a.m. February 5, 2023] dragon has feathers? search: dragon feather

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FeatheredDragons

“Dragons have changed a lot over history.

“From their origins as the giant snakes and serpents that guarded treasures and sacred places in Classical Mythology, they evolved into the monstrous images of Satan of Medieval myth, the fiery Tolkienian engines of destruction and the awe-inspiring godlike beasts of modern fiction.

“In recent fantasy art and fiction, some dragons are undergoing a new evolution — they’re sprouting feathers. [nothing new 😑]

“In terms of physical appearance, such dragons can vary from typical dragons with birdlike wings to ones bearing additional tufts or crests of feathers at various points of their bodies.

“More comprehensive Mix-and-Match Critters may have more even distributions of draconic and avian features, and some may even be primarily avian creatures with secondary dragon traits.

“There are, broadly speaking, three reasons for why a dragon might be depicted in such a manner:

To signal that this is a more benevolent creature than most dragons. This is a direct application of Good Wings, Evil Wings — because people tend to like birds more than they like bats, swapping out a dragon’s chiropteran membranes for avian pinions is a quick and convenient way of making it come across as more beautiful, benevolent and likeable to the audience.

“Even when these creatures are Feathered Fiends, they tend to be so in a Light Is Not Good sense rather than the monstrous evil of traditional dragons.

“To play up an association with Elemental Powers such as air or electricity. It’s popular in modern fiction to have elementally themed or aligned dragons, and depicting dragons tied to sky-themed elements as having physical traits of the animals most strongly associated with air and the sky is a good way to visually reinforce such themes.

“Dragons are reptiles, and sometimes they’re dinosaurs as well, and the scientific consensus that many dinosaurs had feathers is beginning to percolate into popular culture.

“Works tying dragons to the dinosaurs may depict at least some of the wyrms as feathered as part and parcel of the fact that the dinosaurs most likely to be associated with them, the predatory theropods, were primarily feathery animals themselves.

“See also Feathered Serpent, for another sort of feathered, reptilian beasts with their own cultural baggage (specifically, they call back to feathered serpent deities present in many Mesoamerican religions).

“See Dinosaurs Are Dragons for dragons and dinosaurs who are portrayed as related or interchangeable.

“See Catlike Dragons, for another portrayal of dragons with the characteristics of real-life animals.

“See Good Wings, Evil Wings.

“See Dragons Are Divine for dragons who are gods or like gods.”

They might say:

“a picture of {snake vs. tree}, a gesture now make, with two fingers, to express your knowledge of getting through the gate shedding garment,

the “knowledge of branching vs non-banching” 2-finger gesture motion. Usually not a vigorous Y, but half between (static single angle fall

the single-angle static fallacy as if a magical angle.

Some Jesuses do Y,

Some Jesuses do a II gesture.

Some Jesuses do two hands gesture,

how can this be? its too hard – its a mystery – we’ll never figure it out, its too hard, it’s not consistent, sometimes he goes “branching” sometimes he goes “nonbranching”. solution: what’s communicated , to be comm’d, is the complex transformation from possibilism to eternalism.

What we really wish to express is mental-worldmodel transformation from possibilism to eternalism – how to express that??

Hold a cut branch to get through the gate – to get out through the gate from p to e, to get in through the gate demanding the princess as payment price, end the false king to get through the gate.

E.Z. There is no one magic gesture. Every variety of expressing branching vs nonbranching is “the” gesture.

Which Jesus is correct, THEY ARE ALL MAKING A CONTRADICTORY DIFFERENT BENEDICTION GESTURE, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SOLVE THE MEANING [UNLESS the meaning is the general abstract concept of branching] but that’s not exactly right, specifically branching regarding control-in-world; eternalism-type of … not purely abstract “branching vs. non-branching”.

The point is not “branching vs. non-branching”; the point is to express moving from transformation from possibilism to eternalism mental worldmodel (and experience.)

It’s just that one efficient way to contrast possibilism vs eternalism is to express as branching/non-.

the “eternalism vs possibilism” gesture b/c IT ONLY REQUIRES TWO FINGERS (especially if moving) to express “branching vs. non-branching”. Guy in tree expresses that “versus” relationship.

EXPRESS “BRANCHING VS NON-BRANCHING” as the key, TO GET THROUGH THE GATE, the psychedelic eternalism gate to remove garment, get Transcendent Knowledge, the key

the Password Gesture to Get through the Gate is the Scissors Gesture with two fingers

the Password Gesture to Get through the Gate is the Scissors Gesture with two fingers

How do you signal via garment?

How do you signal via tree branch (ans: remove it, and then hold it in r hand)

How do you signal (possibilism to eternalism) via legs?

its a bird with 4 limbs and feathers (not {removed feather})

no its a snake

Ways to signal mental worldmodel transformation from possibilism to eternalism; awareness of eternalism:

he’s teaching using the scissors finger-gesture

to contrast branching vs non- which means possibilism vs eternalism.

{fingers together or splayed}

{key}

{gate}

{removed branch}

{two fingers varying pressed together & splayed}

{two fingers pressed/splayed} is the gesture of benediction, THE S the magic golden scissors w/ fingers finger-scissors motion.

Extend the index finger and middle finger. Demonstrate awareness that the morphology is moving from branching to non-branching.

You are Jesus – make any damned gesture motion you want, but the goal is to EXPRESS MOVING FROM BRANCHING TO NON-BRANCHING at least demonstrate that “I know branching is important” eg look what blew me away Nov 29 2013: did Cranach communicate to me “transformation from possibilism to eternalism” literally directly in the art motifs? NO!

Cranach BTFO’d me (with Fritz Graaf Greek Myth book… Douris.

Cranach + Douris BTFO’d me.

or the fact that they were that knowledgeable about the highest things that I know about, through an efficient hint: branching layered 3-levels, so strong a signal of simply “branching”, I didn’t even mark pointing to the huge fact… this is f’d up:

WHY DID I NOT MAKE A MARK AT HER HAND? Past-me kinda DUMB.

dumb past me (despite smart) – the (a bit slow) past-me

Cunning and extreme-reaching past me, vs evil future me, “evil” only means that past me is competing against future me – that they are competing to find gaps the other me failed to stake claim to and Declare victor / mapping-out.

Decoding.

Don’t fail to be extreme radical or else you WILL leave un-owned, unincorporated area / points.

Overshoot.

The whole way to look at the Benediction Gesture benediction gestures

A lot of the decoding technique of looking is about mentally discarding and abandoning our “knowledge”.

We’re better off saying:

I don’t know what this class of gestures means, therefore I need to DIRECTLY analyze the gestures.

SUPPOSE THAT THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLER, MORE FUNDAMENTAL, MORE DIRECT, the opposite of complicated special backstory. Suppose The Gesture Motion [or: gestures] is the very opposite of esoteric?

Achilles heel

goddess held baby by the ankle to make immortal, ankle is the weak point = possibilism-thinking is weak, control-instability when Psilocybin loosecog changes to eternalism experiential mode, possibilism-thinking isn’t compatible, goes unstable, feasible control system requires mind is made to repudiate possibilism-thinking and rely instead on “trust” in the higher control that it’s revealed personal control is profoundly dependent on.

Relying on {left heel ankle foot leg hip hand} will fail, in Psiloosecog.

The right heel is immortal, stand on use eternalism-thinking when Psilooscog, to have stable control.

Increasingly learn to engage possibilism-thinking to demonstrate its climax-seizure self-transgresssive control vortex whirlwind up to the transcendent realm which means up through the gate of Jerusalem out from town of seeming, stand and pass out the city gate upwards through the control vortex going out through the gate above top of Saturn layer out up to epiphany of the higher controller

mind’s cloak gets removed and see the profound dependence on God eternalism

go up through the Saturn gate to get cloak removed, garment removed when go through each gate. CONNECTION achieved.

esoteric A vs. esoteric B, we agree it’s esoteric

Certainty levels increasing:

Good-esoteric approach to thinking about The Gesture [or, class of gestures] decoding how is the motion gesture LIKE *the* “effect” of Psilocybin loosecog redosing 10 weeks?

Like the Double-Letter Riddle, the Key Is Dirt-Simple: {branching vs. non-branching}, representing possibilism vs. eternalism

I keep thinking of the riddle game where the solution is, “any word that contains a doubled letter”.

The moment a player knows the solution, you can instantly tell, they are suddenly switched from clueless and puzzled, to singing in harmony a full adept.

  • bubble is correct.
  • train is incorrect.
  • traffic is correct.
  • bike is incorrect.
  • leggings is correct.
  • rain is incorrect.
  • Hanegraaff is correct (this one time only, but doubly so).
  • Erik Davis is incorrect.

The message of the revelation of Eternalism when you pass out through the gate of Jerusalem for the epiphany of the sacred ruler:

IT’S ABOUT BRANCHING VS. NON-BRANCHING.

“The Benedictional of St Æthelwold contains pontifical benedictions for a bishop to speak at Mass on different days of the ecclesiastical year, as well as a prayer for blessing candles on the Feast of Purification (f. 33r).

“The Benedictional is preceded by a series of full-page miniatures, and by a poem relating the execution of the manuscript (ff. 4v-5r), written in gold. This poem begins, in translation: ‘A bishop, the great Æthelwold, whom the Lord had made patron of Winchester, ordered a certain monk subject to him to write the present book, and also to be made in this book many arches well adorned and filled with various figures decorated with manifold beautiful colours and with gold […]’.

“The poem also provides the name of the Benedictional’s scribe, Godeman (f. 5r).

“The manuscript is one of the earliest and most significant surviving examples of the Anglo-Saxon Winchester scriptorium.

“In the accounts of the four canonical Gospels, Jesus Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem took place in the days before the Last Supper, marking the beginning of his Passion, his time of suffering, death, and resurrection celebrated during Holy Week.

“In John 12:9-11, crowds gather around Jesus and believe in him after he has raised Lazarus from the dead, and the next day the multitudes who had gathered for the feast in Jerusalem welcome Jesus as he enters the city [via gate].

“In Matthew 21:1–11, Mark 11:1–11, Luke 19:28–44, and John 12:12–19, Jesus descends from the Mount of Olives towards Jerusalem, and the crowds lay their clothes [cloak, tunic, outer covering] on the ground [under his/donkey’s feet] to welcome him as he triumphantly enters Jerusalem.

“The triumphal entry is traditionally commemorated on Palm Sunday.”

Gates – ARTICULATING THE GATES Feb 3 realization (but last night I saw an early mention of mine; find “gate” at this site re: Entry into Jerusalem somehow involves a {gate} mytheme. But especially during my voice recording evening of Feb 3 2023 yesterday, which I vow to release, I articulate the idea fully, for the first time.

[Feb 4 2023 7:59 a.m.]

1) That Jesus’ two fingers pressed together rather than splayed means non-branching, per eternalism.

2) That St. Martins Entry into Jerusalem, held out to Jesus is two stick branches ({removed branch}) not splayed branching and having no branches off them, held together with branching feathers ({removed feather}), is a way of contrasting non-branching vs. branching.

This held-items realization – the contrast point – was last night during voice recording for Egodeath Mystery Show podcast, there are some timestamps in that recording, late in Feb. 3, 2023.

The St. Martin chapel’s {holding a removed feather and removed sticks} (a “vs.” contrast presented by the artist) glues together successful decoding/interpretation the held-feather Entry into Jerusalem and the held-branch Entry into Jerusalem.

This is why you HAVE to analyze a SET of images and not just look for mushrooms!

Just as I said for having to analyze Hellenistic & Christian art side-by-side, to decode either of them.

What is “mushroom imagery”?

As I wrote around Nov 2022 (see date of my Hatsis podcast recordings reading aloud the articles): as John Rush wrote, and Hatsis criticized Rush for writing, all imagery is mushroom imagery, I wrote and said that on Egodeath Mystery Show while I was reading aloud all of the Hatsis articles.

todo: make a catalog of all the stuff held out to Christ in versions of this scene.

The so-called “benediction gesture” – don’t let your mind shut off through that Jedi mind trick, where we attach a familiar sounding, reassuringly familiar sounding label to imply that there’s no meaning, it is a meaningless benediction gesture, STOP THINKING; MOVE ALONG.

No, I refuse to “stop thinking” just because YOU labeled-it-away as a Panofsky-like “Yes we know, it’s nothing new, it’s just a BENEDICTION GESTURE”, nothing to see here, move along.”

The mind-bluff of “familiar”.

“We are familiar with this gesture, THEREFORE IT IS MEANINGLESS.”

We art historians are familiar with these mushroom trees, and THEREFORE they are not mushrooms, because you would have to say they are all mushrooms, therefore they cannot be mushrooms. Q.E.D. – Panofsky

Crop by Cybermonk, from: Letter of Erwin Panofsky to R. Gordon Wasson, May 2, 1952. Wasson Archives, Harvard University Herbarium, Cambridge, Mass. Published by Brown 2019: https://www.academia.edu/40412411/Entheogens_in_Christian_art_Wasson_Allegro_and_the_Psychedelic_Gospels

(One of the several massive covert assumptions that are implicit and required, for such an “argument” to seem to work:
“And it is simply a given that you don’t want to assert that all mushroom imagery in medieval Christian art intends mushrooms.”)

All Imagery in Christian Art Means Psilocybin Experiencing

If a Christian artist doesn’t mean Psilocybin, then they are wrong. The theory is correct. Thus I am saying that all authentic art means psilocybin. If the artist fails to mean psilocybin, the artist is in error and it’s not authentic art. Therefore I am always right.

My arguments are more solid than the made-up on-the-spot Hatsis (the insanity of the committed skeptic) willy-nilly random arguments, throwing every bizarre vector of argumentation at the wall and acting like it all sticks.

Thomas Hatsis, the anti-mushroom psychedelic witch 🍄🧙‍♂️, has the insanity of the committed skeptic.

I have the divine inspired madness of the committed believer.

I’m a believer, I ain’t no deceiver

Bob Daisley, who had the good taste to have Ozzy sing his lyric

News for you Panofsky: We ARE 100% enthusiastically willing, per my Radical Maximal Entheogen Theory of Religion! In fact, it stands to simple reason, that all mushroom imagery in Christian art means mushroom experiencing, in fact all imagery in Christian art means Psilocybin experiencing.

Around early 2022, I downloaded the PDF, and flipped through it in Acrobat.

The web-based view can be good to link to from this page.

Library’s Info

This section: quotes, copy/pasted, broke up para. – Cybermonk

This manuscript is one of the most lavishly illuminated psalters of the Middle Ages.

It includes 91 full-page miniatures, most of which contain gold, in five picture cycles that give an overview of the most important scenes of the Bible, and especially the Old Testament, which is depicted in no fewer than 176 scenes.

Among these, several very unusual motifs concerning heroic women are especially noteworthy.

The style of the illumination is typical for the transition period between late Romanesque and early Gothic art.

With its calendar, the texts of the Psalms, 15 canticles, and ten prayers, this book was intended for the private use and devotion of an important noble lady.

Although its English provenance has long been known, it was only recently that the origin of the manuscript could be determined more precisely.

In view of the close parallels with another dated calendar of known origin, it now seems probable that the book was commissioned in an Oxford workshop as a present for Margaret de Briouze on the occasion of her marriage to the nobleman Walter de Lacy II in the year 1201.

According to an ex libris preserved on the front pastedown, the manuscript must have reached the Bavarian State Library by the 1620s.

Dynastic links between the house of Wittelsbach-Straubing-Holland and members of the English aristocracy in the 13th and early 14th centuries could explain the manuscript’s migration to continental Europe.

What the Authorities Say: Mushrooms Never Count

Ignore this page, because Hatsis the authority says the Golden Munich Psalter is not relevant. 🍄🧙‍♂️

It’s not the right kind of devotional Christian text, so it doesn’t count. 😑

Per the Secret Mushroom Cult theory (which is what you care about), these are not depictions of Jesus as a mushroom, therefore, they don’t count.

(Yes, that’s really, actually how Hatsis “reasons”, in his online internet blogger articles. In 2022, I read all of his articles aloud and commented on them, in the Egodeath Mystery Show podcast.)

As typically, as is normally & usually the case with Hatsis, everything about his approach to interpretation is completely wrong and irrelevant.

His argumentation is unprofitable to engage, because it is entirely irrelevant how he sets out to approach analysis.

Against Hatsis, the particular storyline should be kept very distinct from mushroom interpretation or the presence of mushroom imagery vs. the particular storyline for a particular image.

In fact, everything in religion means mushrooms, that is, the Psilocybin state, so it is mostly irrelevant and arbitrary where the artist chooses to put mushroom imagery.

Hatis commits the fallacy that to identify a msurhoom imagery as meaning a mushroom, it’s dependent on the backstory.

Hatsis assumes – without justification – that if you can describe the backstory in a certain way, then, you can dismiss and explain away the mushroom imagery.

Hatsis attempts to leverage a non-mushroom backstory, to explain away the plain use of mushroom imagery: even though the image looks like a mushroom, the “empirical” “naturalistic” backstory (he falsely and irrelevantly argues) NEVER permits us to identify mushroom imagery.

Per Hatsis’ bunk manner of explain-away analysis, only if the backstory were literally “He ingested the psychoactive mushroom”, only then could we grudgingly, reluctantly be forced to concede that there could possibly be mushroid intent by the writer, whose story the artist is conveying.

That’s not even slightly the case. The backstory in fact nearly irrelevant.

Hatsis’ approach is rigidly literalist and reductionist: only if the story is about ingesting mushrooms, and the story is explicitly and directly expressed as “this time, this instance, in this story, there tells an episode of ingesting The Mushroom” – only then could we say that the art imagery used to depict the story means mushrooms.

I take the exact opposite approach.

A story of visionary eating scrolls is not a literal recounting of a particular instance of literally eating ingesting psychedelics.

Rather, even when a mythic story does include direct expression of ingesting mushrooms (“I ate the scroll the angel handed me”), it’s just an abstract literary mode, with motifs in the story and possibly motifs chosen by the artist to decorate the mushroom-type, visionary-type story.

It’s a type, not a literal instance: MYTHIC TALES ARE NOT HISTORICAL REPORTAGE.

“Is it true that Balaam’s donkey walked on a path so narrow, no room to turn left or right?”

The mystic genre or mode of expression is a mythic abstract motif-driven tale, a mode of storytelling.

Hatsis tries to leverage welding the storyline to an instance ingesting “the mushroom” (🍄).

When Hatsis writes “the mushroom” or “mushroom(s)”, in Western entheogen scholarship context, he always, exlusively means Amanita – confirmed by pers. comm. By ‘mushroom’, Hatsis always, exclusively means Amanita.

He wrote me “Liberty caps are anachronistic” (whatever that’s supposed to mean). And that Brown and I are not allowed to assert Psilocybin, because our basis is Allegro.

In fact the Egodeath theory has exactly ZERO influence from Allegro re: entheogen scholarship.

I first heard of ahistoricity through John King’s book reaction to Allegro, around 1999.

In 1999 I read Strange Fruit (published 1994/1995) (a good book that’s exclusively focused on Amanita, not Psilocybin), which made false statements about Allegro: Heinrich said that Allegro said that Jesus led a mushroom cult.

In fact, Allegro said that Jesus was none other than The Mushroom (🍄).

(Meaning, Amanita only, with zilch awareness or thought of Psilocybin coming from Wasson/ Allegro/ Ruck/ Irvin/ Rush/ Hatsis.)

I started researching which psychedelic is in Revelation in 1986, with zero influence by or awareness of Wasson or Allegro.

Hatsis goes far beyond strawmanning: he dictates to people what their position that they are defending is, even if the person doesn’t hold that position – Hatsis tells them “you have to hold the particular position that I tell you to hold.”

It is dictatorial, beyond-strawmanning: YOU SHALL HOLD THE BUNK POSITION THAT I HAVE DEFINED FOR YOU.

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HOLD AND DEFEND A POSITION OTHER THAN THE ONE I HAVE ASSIGNED TO YOU.

There’s no profit in debating with an insane person, which is how far gone Hatsis’ manner and strategy of argumentation is.

Preliminary Lead-up to Re-Finding the Golden Munich Psalter

From other, earlier page (John Lash Provided the Leg-Hanging Mushroom Tree Eadwine Image in 2008), from which I broke out the present page:
todo[done]: unfinished biz: Need direct link to Golden Munich Psalter. I remember flipping through millions of pages of this psalter to find about 10 fair pics of mushrooms.
Web search:
https://www.google.com/search?q=Gold+Munich+Psalter
– shows mushrooms even in a preview of a book facsimile reprint.
Image search:
https://www.google.com/search?q=Gold+Munich+Psalter&tbm=isch

Two days ago, Sunday, Jan. 29, 2023, I discovered that the Biblio of Browns’ book cites the John Lash page that’s one of a set of 9 Lash articles that I found about the Great Mushroom Psalter (not the only one; Hatsis and maybe Irvin provided another one, Golden Munich Psalter, I posted a little about it here) and 20th Century psychedelics history & Wasson.

Bizarre coincidence: Christmas 2015: the same day that I figured out and posted about the dancing man salamander bestiary image:
{standing on right leg} = eternalism-thinking,
I also posted about Hatsis’ mention of the Golden Munich Psalter:

“Hatis writes:

“Golden Munich Psalter shows a style of tree that looks very “psychedelic” indeed, but it always ends up the same: when you put the “mushroom tree” in historical context, it never ends up being a mushroom.”

I believe I posted the URL for the Golden Munich Psalter here. It’s good, not as good as Eadwine (I’m hopelessly spoiled).
Found my post! It’s in

Motifs Identified and Explained by John Rush

Global comment for my writings: I won’t write this everywhere I point out the psychedelic art motifs that John Rush discovered and explained in his books.

  • lifted garment, he calls “celestial erection”.
  • mushroom hems.
