Incoming Ideas

Decoded Canterbury Image f134 Row 2 Right: Standing on Left Leg = No Understanding of {handedness} Motif, Standing on Right Leg = Basic Understanding of {handedness} Motif, Floating Feet = Hanging from Right Leg = Advanced Understanding of {handedness} Motif

[11:44 a.m. March 22, 2023] I hit the right angle to simply grasp and rightly conceptualize and read the 3 guys as Eadwine meant, elegant simple idea:

{youth standing on left foot} = ignorant of eternalism-thinking while receiving Cubensis

{youth standing on right foot} = understand basic idea of {stand right leg}

{mature sage standing on no feet} = hanging by right leg (floating sage looks at feet floating in msh tree) = advanced understanding of analogies of limbs

Let’s see how close I was 2 days ago in draft article on branching-message mushroom trees:

“Row 2 Right: Naive newbie (stand on left foot), basic understander (stand on right foot), advanced interpreter (hang upside-down from right knee).”

The above still lacks the punch, doesn’t express my grasp/network per Eadwine.

STAND LEFT LEG = NO UNDERSTANDING OF {HANDEDNESS} MOTIF

STAND RIGHT LEG = BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF {HANDEDENESS} MOTIF

HANG RIGHT LEG = ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE OF {HANDEDENESS} MOTIF

Standing on Left Leg = No Understanding of {handedness} Motif
Standing on Right Leg = Basic Understanding of {handedness} Motif

= pink guy in tree w/ right foot on cut branch

Floating Feet = Hanging from Right Leg = Advanced Understanding of {handedness} Motif

Advanced Understanding of {handedness} motif, ie of: {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} motifs

Cybermonk: The Reality:

Entire branching is NOT (it turns out) Uniformly “Bad”, It’s relative/ranked, from “bad” left branch/leaf, to “good” right branch/leaf.

OH LOOK! [10:13 p.m. March 16, 2023] — solved my little LEAF EXTRA LEAF PROBLEM. The left branch is “extra bad”, 1 extra leaf.

The pink key tree right-hand branch leaf does NOT touch – as i too-broadly vaguely wondered, “the branching part of the mushroom tree”, or “the cut branch”: the right-hand pink branch SPECIFICALLY TOUCHES HIS RIGHT HEEL.

Created zoom crop.

The pink key tree right-hand branch leaf directly touches right heel, indirectly practically effectively touches cut branch.

need use other crop for this next point: ironic, are the other 2 leaves “good” or “bad”, “non-branching” or “branching”? “right” or “left”?

  • At the level of the overally branch, if you included them as “the branch”, the right-hand branch, they become “good” as part of the BRANCH level,
  • At the level of leaves, eg fingers… this is why Jesus’ right-hand fingers can be “good” or “bad”.

within this scope (above the cut right trunk branch point):

The two red-cap branches = Y = “bad” = branching = possibilism-thinking, which causes loss of control (cyberdeath).

The pink branch = I = “good” = non-branching = eternalism-thinking.

The true, real, underlying, normally veiled I branch is obscured by the Y’s right-hand branch and by his “bad”, branching -related left hand, which blocks our view of the non-branching “real”, “true”, “good” branch (which is read as “non-branching” in this scope).

Why the “Bad” Branching Is Touching His Purely “Good” Right Heel: Because Relative Scope!

in fact, the dead bad left branch IS TOUCHING THE C STUDENT BAD LEFT ARM (SLEEVE).

bad-branching-touching-good-heel-wtf

Why the Left Branch of the Pink Key Tree Is Dead and Why the Right Branch Has the Audacity to Touch His Right Heel

Last week or so when i was examing examining where exactly does pink key tree touch big mushroom tree, I don’t think I appreciated what a huge conflict this is, as long as I wrongly statically assigned “bad” to the entire branching portion of the pink key tree – BIG MISTAKE!

I should have said (under that false thinking, “the evil branching part of pink key tree is touching HIS RIGHT HEEL!”

My criticism of myself last week or maybe 3 weeks ago, 1-3 weeks ago when I examined where pink key tree touches the big tree, I should have said (under my half-confused thinking):

“This is terrible to the extreme, totally unaccepatable: branching pink is not merely vaguely “touching the overall big tree” (as I thought), or touching vaguely “the cut branch” (which I then said or typed here).

It’s much worse: it touches his sacred right heel!

I should have realized the problem was so pointedly bad to the extreme, that I’m looking at a problem that the artist is FUNDAMENTALLY challenging me to RE-THINK my assignment of “BAD” to the entirely vague broad branches of the pink key tree.

This morning I discovered (fully — in case perhaps I have partially written and analyzed along these lines a bit, i maybe went a bit down this path) — now I GET IT.

Overall, at lower level of pink key tree, in that scope, yes, the 3 branches are “bad” compared to the cut right trunk.

BUT!!

BUT!! NOW WE move the scope upward, forget the cut trunk, and now, we RE-ASSIGN, FRESH, “bad” and “good” to the upper level of the pink key tree: so: branch 1+2 = “bad” in this scope, but now, branch 3 = “good” in this scope. Repeat at the leaf (= fingers) level:

On each branch, 3 leaves: leaf 1 + 2 = “bad” = a Y-branching morph’y. leaf 3 = “good” = an I-non-branching morph’y

The artist decided not to make the “dead plant” point at the level of just 1 leaf (the leftmost leaf) dead; but at the specific level of the BRANCH. Make the whole branch dead. Artist COULD HAVE just made the leftmost leaf dead.

Oh Nah I Figured out Why the Plant Is Dead on the Left oh Noes HAHAHAHA SOLVED THAT MYSTERY! 😅 😅 🌿😵–>⚰️

Why the Plant Is Dead on the Left

Oh Nah I Figured out Why the Plant Is Dead on the Left oh Noes HAHAHAHA [9:03 a.m. March 16, 2023] SOLVED THAT MYSTERY! 😅 😅 🌿😵–>⚰️

It’s touching the possibilism-thinking failed students who are giving the wrong answer by displaying left hand instead of right hand.

So today, I solved TWO BIG ONGOING HEAD-SCRATCHERS:

1) Why is the evil, branching part of pink key tree touching his sacred right heel, which is the very essence of God-mode compatible thinking in the Psilocybin peak state for stable viable self-control?

Ans from this morning’s voice recording spoken development session: relative to the local scope of the 3 branches, each which has 3 branching leaves, the YI morphology at the base is [bad, good] and at the tips is [bad+bad, good].

eg for the 3 branches, of the pink key tree, we have at the point where the 3 branches split: er, … we have [

eg for the 3 branches, of the pink key tree, the branches go [bad branch + bad branch, good branch].

eg for the 3 leaves of any branch, of the pink key tree, the leaves go [bad leaf + bad leaf, good leaf].

SO YOU BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT PERMANENTLY ABSOLUTELY ASSIGNING “GOOD VS BAD”.

IT IS RELATIVE TO CURRENT SCOPE OF ANALYSIS.

Man I need to record voice + mouse pointer. More nimble than screenshots.

You Haven’t Interpreted Art Until You Think of It How the Artist Thinks of It

But the artist collaborates with the viewer; if I make a puzzle, or send a message, I factor-in the problem of reception, decoding, I have to provide you with parity-checks that I know you know I know are sufficiently clear to check that our communication is effective.

I’m not going to send a message purely selfishly, that you cannot decode, unless I’m Eadwine making impossible incomprehensible images, wiki says “Great Canterbury Psalter – DIFFICULT TO INTERPRET”, read: IMPOSSIBLE.

What would be the point of artist sending a message, presenting YOU with art, knowing that you cannot fathom the meaning of it?

“HERE’S SOME ART I MADE THAT’S INCOMPREHENSIBLE, I’M SHOWING IT TO YOU, SO THAT YOU CAN UNCOMPREHEND MY ART I MADE TO NOT CONVEY ANY MEANING OR MESSAGE”

This is what Eadwine does.

To Interpret Eadwine, the Requirement Is Simply to Be Eadwine

Which You Can Do by Being Psilocybin Seizure Escalation Dread Dynamics

To interpret Eadwine’s meaning, to think of it how Eadwine does, the first requirement is Be Eadwine.

Let’s make frustrating, impossible to receive, messages.

Thus begat cryptography.

Some Eadwine Imagery Is Easy to Interpret — for example, God Creates Plants– oh wait, bad example 😞

Don’t let the fact that I today have totally successfully decoded f134 & f177 give you a misimpression: fact is, it remains impossible to interpret Eadwine… granted, —

I was gonna say “God Creates Plants” proves me wrong LOL bad example: Lash says the image shows: “Jesus invites ingesting mushrooms”. uh well technically, kinda….

Eadwine says: God Creates Plants (Panaeolus, Liberty Cap, Cubensis, Amanita).

Wisdom of the entheogen scholars (such as totally trustworthy John Lash & Chris Bennett & John Rush)

Plate 6. Jesus Invites Ingesting Plants (Cannabis, syrian rue, opium, and Amanita especially, and the other one is Scopalamine. And ergot of course. And ketamine & MDMA)

Golden Psalter’s Four Psychoactive Plants, in the “Jesus Invites to Psychoactives” Image, Identified by Entheogen Scholars

Tree 1: A spec of white on red, so obviously Amanita.

Tree 2: Brown stem positively identifies it as Opium, and the green is for sure cannabis (that’s a given), and the dots on the blue cap prove it’s Amanita.

Tree 3: Blue stem would be Cubensis, except that the cap is red and white, so it must be Amanita.

Tree 4: Cannabis, syrian rue, opium, Amanita, Scopalamine, ergot, ketamine, MDMA. 😑

I hope that I have done a worthy job of representing the scientific foundation that is the scholarly field of entheogen scholarship. — Cybermonk

Twisted Motives Corrupting Entheogen Scholarship

Motive #1: Make the Church look bad.

Motive #99: Study entheogens.

Motive #999: Repeal Prohibition.

The Egodeath theory is against the Secrecy / suppression assumption (presupposition, even: fetishization, like Ruck fetishizes “secrecy”.

Ruck values Amanita 1/10. The ONLY reason Ruck is interested in Amanita, is to use the topic of Amanita to conduct his Secrecy fetish, which is his objective.

Ruck values Secrecy 10/10. Zero interest in Amanita, 100% interest in Secret Amanita (b/c Secret, not b/c Amanita).

A Tragic Love Story: Lash Loves Psilocybin, Lash Loves Wasson, Lash Hates Amanita, Wasson Loves Amanita, Wasson Hates Psilocybin

The ONLY reason John Lash is interested in entheogens , is to USE the topic of entheogens to worship his GF Wasson. Ironic tho: Lash hates and regrets that his llove-interest, Wasson, pushes Amanita rather than pushing Psil which Lash rightly pursues.

SSo So Lash is in a bind, he’s in love with a girl who is an Aman fanatic, but Lash hates Aman (smart guy) and loves Psilocybin. A tragic love storey

To Avoid Control Instability, Rely on Right Leg, Not Left Leg ✅

it’s not about height of foot, but about which leg are you relying on. This is a message of extreme gravity.

🙃 I Have Something New to Say! About Red Initiate Hanging Upside Down in John Lash’s Mushroom Tree Since 2008

This morning’s exercise drawing white boxes on f134 leg-hanging msh tree image has made my brain go from:

to:

Looking at my two f134 and f177 comic-book panels with my John Rush-approved vague lines and confusing boxes — stepping back, I am now able to think clearly about the Psilocybin seiezure knowledge that’s being described in these images and in this genre.

I have even learer seeing, I can read Eadwine’s mind the mind of Religion, the mind of the branching-message mushroom tree artists, I have a clearer mental picture of how seizure escalation works and crosses into the unstable control zone.

My early posts on ‘sacrifice’ should have… a quibble but rely a bit less on saying “animal” thinking and more specifically emphasize the specific ability of the ram’s horn enables the dynamic of RAM CAUGHT struggling IN A THICKET. Isomorphic.

I’ve written at Egodeath.com how to test and threaten and demonstrate control. I thnk think Strange Loop in Transcendent Knowledge podcast specified that page, I was impressed. Egodeath.com is largely same content as Feb. 14 2004 and earlier (June 2001) at the Egodeath Yahoo Group.

I certainly have posted ram struggles more, gets caught and effectively paralyzed more or had less and less control, checking control, testing control, violating control,

panic testing escalation checking to see if vulnerable, requiring testing and threatening oneself to see if can block the threat, runaway — a house divided against itself cannot state

Heading

wow [5:21 a.m. March 13, 2023] i got a hit, some hits, at least 1, by using latest powerful white lines techniques.

row 2 middle: woman left heel on stable column base and wrong hand up too (you know i really need to FORMALLY INVENTORY hands).

This is the first time afaik that I pointed out she has WRONG HAND UP.

She represents Wm James’ OSC; “pragmatism” = OSC POV, preserve viability of mundane daily life, don’t do anything harmful due to “God told me to violate mundane cognitive constraints to prove/ fulfill & reach my Godliness”.

I am marking up a copy fresh full capture named “Canterbury-f134-2023-03-13-lines.png” adding white lines boxes.

[5:26 a.m. March 13, 2023] i just noticed that the left woman has no limbs.

5:39 a.m. March 13, 2023] i think i finally GOT IT with his upside down hand on the table, it is a subtle form of “left hand up, right hand down”. 🎉🎉 its’ so weird how you have to “learn” how to “see” — ie THINK ABOUT — the meaning of what you are seeing.

I’ve tried looking at his hands in all different ways / lenses/ mental assoocation networks… now I think, I THINK… I finally found a way of looking at his hands that FITS THE PATTERN: he is gesturing “MY HAND IS SO DOWN, ITS BACK ON THE LYBIN LYING FLAT ON THE TABLE, THAT’S HOW FAR down my right hand is, while my left is WAY up on the lip of bowl. ”

Maiden’s hands fits that too — it you take naive perspective, that is!

from absolute POV his hands are about same height, but how you define his hand, back of hand pressed against table is … 🤔 Right.

The visual height of the back of his hands is the right reading to MAKE his hands, your job is to MAKE his hands “left higher than right” by you counting the BACK OF HIS hands.

His hand strange gestures are to be read as: BACK OF LEFT HAND propped UP ON BOWL; BACK OF RIGHT HAND PRESSED *DOWN* ON TABLE. Focus on contrast the back of his hands.

“I am propping my back of left hand UP on bowl, but I am pressing my right back of hand DOWN on the table.”

What’s weird is I’m now somehow in a headspace perspective where 6:07 a.m. March 13, 2023] i feel that NOW i am able to look at God’s hands rightly and see them expressing “hand up” and “hand down” – by rejecting other emphases.

He’s signaling “up vs down”. Not “touching ground” – I was wrongly trying to read him as “pointing as foot all the way down on ground”.

But means actually, “downward” “upward”.

🏆

wow, this is really something! [6:12 a.m. March 13, 2023] — psalter viewer’s FINGER OF RIGHT HAND IS ALARMINGLY, DANGEROUSLY HIGH! 😱

don’t raise that finger up dude don’t do it!!!! 😱

his hands are dangerously nearly wrong, he shouldn’t be pointing up w left hand, omg!

Can I crop w/ Egodeath theory in psalter white box on each hand showing the great danger he’s messin with??!

Ram Seizure: Ram Thicket Seizure Trap Ego Death & Rebirth

[1:26 a.m. March 13, 2023] Cybermonk.

Each image describes by analogy, how it is analogous to transformation from possibilism to eternalism by driving that by control-instability like three thicket-caught rams.

The harder the ram struggles in the thicket trap, the worse the practical control effective control power; the worse/ the more the control seizure.

Panic tightening, inherently not a mellow but a tense thing, the control self-conflict is the teaching/ reshaping fire.

Standing on the stable tower is right-foot-balancing guy. Here is the basis he is standing on.

[12:14 a.m. March 13, 2023] use the fact of “there’s non/branching}, and there’s {handedness}, to cover transformation of two parts: control-in-world:

  • {handedness} = mental model of control (in world).
  • {non/branching} = mental model of world (that control operates in).

I am linking all images so you can click them to zoom at the original full-resolution library/museum website.

I’m keeping this image here as an interesting record.

I get the impression of more sharpness, as if there are black fine outlines throughout the image.

Formal Inventory of Feet/Legs of Pointless Loiterers 🖼🔨💎

  • Pointless Loiterer 1: legs crossed, THEREFORE: right (not left!) foot down, left foot floating touching* stable column base.
  • Pointless Loiterer 2: right foot down (fused w/ #1’s right foot). Left foot floating (behind/touching #3’s right foot). DEVIANT: LEFT FOOT NOT TOUCHING SIDE OF A COLUMN BASE.
  • Pointless Loiterer 3: right foot down (visually touching #2’s left foot). Left foot floating touching SIDE (not top) of stable column base.
Pointless Loiterer 3

Pointless Loiterer 3: right foot down (visually touching #2’s left foot).

Left foot [10:05 p.m. March 12, 2023] (therefore, clean symmetry!! both of the stable column bases are touched by a floating (negated like crutch!) (the SIDE of base is touched, so doesn’t bear weight.

However, be ginger & nimble: note that in Nov 2020 I cautioned, do not read vertical weight-bearing physics too literally in f134.

In contrast, Big Brain’s left foot, on TOP of column base, is putting downward weight on column base apparently.

This is surely intentional (at Eadwine’s disgression based on structural aesthetics), that their left feet are touching SIDE, not TOP of base.

*note: a required to take into account; we’re required to apply this principle of flexibility of artist creativity STRUCTURED, CONTROLLED (interpretable) clearness and interpretation:

Eadwine bends his own rules here BUT NOT CHAOTICALLY; justifiably and meta-consistently; intelligently. Not irrationally.

Artists always are always expected to bend rules creatively; f134 disallows (usually) left foot touching stable col base; f177 here allows it conditionally – of course the outstanding instance in f177 being Big Brain.

  • crop a “plus” shape centered on the red cap under his balancing on right foot. HOW DID I MISS THE STRADDLING OF THE FLOOR/ CEILING THERE, b/c i DID MAKE an (ineffective 😞) INVENTORY OF “things that cross the floor/ceiling”.

I VOW TO SACRIFICE 3 RAMS TO YOU IF YOU HELP ME SEE THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PATTERN

This one’s (decipherment analysis destined to be big & successful) for my Idea Dev page realtime followers in the Egodeath community

It turns out, I DO need for FORMALLY INVENTORY THEIR LOITERING FEET AND finally i can systematically inventory them and GUARANTEED TROPHY!

🏆💎🐉🏹

IT WILL ALL WORK OUT!

THAT they ARE standing on right foot!

his legs *are* crossed, as i was confused this morning trying to fit the puzzle pieces together to make sense/ keep track of their feet — and now it’s all so simple!

One lesson learned is, YOU HAVE TO GO BIG: FORMALLY INVENTORY *EVERYTHING* (if that’s what it takes).

NOTHING ESCAPES MY ATTENTION, ART ITEMS: YOU WILL BE THOROUGHLY WORKED OVER AND DIRECTLY BRAINSTORMED BY ME AGAINST EVERY OTHER FEATURE, THERE IS NO ESCAPE FOR YOU, ART FEATURE!

😠 😤 💪 🖼🔨💎

Left Loiterer: this morning i puzzled because i am stupid don’t know why i didn’t succeed this morning at summing my two roadblock baffling thought-blocking problems:

hopelessly confusing motif 1: his legs are crossed. aren’t they ? am i insnace/ insane? how to prove? I GIVE UP . ITS TOO HARD.

baffling impossibly motif 2: the wrong feet are touching column base.

it doesn’t make any sense!! 😭 😭

I CANNOT SOLVE THEIR FEET, IS A SCRAMBLED MESS.

ITS TOO HARD 😭

😭 😭 😭 solution this morning: GIVE UP 😞

It’s impossibly hard to figure out their correct-feet-down consistently.
and furthermore, he’s [row 1 middle left loiterer w/ basket] drawn all weird, almost looks like his legs are crossed(! wtf), it’s too hard, I’m too confused, GIVE UP.

I don’t think Eadwine is good enough to draw his legs crossed under garment.” 🤦‍♂️ — I thought, this morning, together with at the same time thinking, “Furthermore, why the hell is his left foot on the ground, IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE. ITS TOO HARD.” Further more, making everything even more IMPOSSIBLE to consistently solve, the right-hand loiterer’s left(!) foot is touching stable column base!

IT’S HOPELESSLY CONFUSED, their feet are sheer meaningless arbitrary CHAOS that ignore all patterns, NO ONE CAN MAKE ANY CONSISTENT SENSE; they are random nonsense feet positions, that is my conclusion.

I guess Eadwine just … quit, at that point 🤷‍♂️

[In my defense, this morning I did think: “Should I go to the trouble, invest the time, of formally inventorying their feet?” 🤔 ]

MAYBE HATSIS CAN HELP TELL ME THE SOLUTION?? 🤔 🤷‍♂️

Resign. Can’t do it.

I JUST HAVE TO BE RESIGNED TO NOT EVER SOLVING THAT PART OF THE PUZZLE 😢 😞 ITS TOO HARD

Sacrifice of Isaac (Great Canterbury Psalter)

I have never, ever written about decoding {legs crossed}, except in images such as sacrificing a ram caught the more helplessly in a thicket, the harder it struggles.

And Cautes & Cautopetes. (Mithras twins).

Abraham’s weight is 100% on right foot, I wrote some time/months ago.

Isaac left leg straight (I noted / announced a week or so ago).

trivia detail: this image panel is by same artist/ art shop as f177 3 shorn rams in monster furnace w/ right foot balancing guy next to 3 Pointless Loiterers.

But these two miniatures have a different backstory, per Hatsis, so therefore, these can’t possibly be msh, and you are an idiot if you don’t know, Abraham story isn’t in the backstory for 177; the two texts are unrelated.

Portraits of Cybermonk & Hatsis

So do not apply decoding of Dancing Man image (it’s a SECULAR bestiary, not Devotional Psalter) to Eadwine images f134 & f177, you moron, you should be a Historian technique specialist like me.

TOTALLY unrelated: 3 rams w/ left leg touching red floor/ceiling.

Upside Down Left-Foot Standing Rams – OMFG 🤯 Realtime Discoveries

OMFG over in the original Horses page i’m putting BREAKING NEWS AMAZING DECODINGS!

The 3 pointless loiterers are generally symmetric with 3 rams flipped upside down!!

The rams are standing on left leg!!

beyond confirmation of my theory, i’m getting a deep, deep comprehension and corroboration of all my most difficult-to-articulate about self-battling, rams caught in thicket the more they struggle by employing possibilism-thinking.

My most advanced speculations / descriptions of cybernetic dynamics are actually being confirmed by Eadwine!

You’d NEVER think it possible to communicate!

Eadwine is directly depicting and communicating my most difficult-to-espress cognitive control dynamics.

I was amazed in Nov 2020 about his doing that, and SAME AMAZED FEELING AGAIN!

Standing Balancing on the Stable Ego-Dead Tower

todo: crop that!! (!!) i am SCRAMBLING to discover, and to document my discovery process at same time, crazy!

I have a backlog of mind-blowing crops i’m trying to do while typing up my train of thought/ discovery-process log at the same time! crazy

And, also, in the literally middle/midst of looking at that symmetry, I saw that the right-leg-balancing guy is standing on stable tower! which gives it more of a function appropriate to its size!

I’m actually successfully grasping (deeper than ~2003 or whenever I wrote on ram how ram is like cyber-panic struggle) that THE RAM IS THE GOOD SACRIFICE B/C ISOMORPHIC CAUGHT IN BUSH JUST LIKE CONTROL VORTEX EXPERIENCE PANIC escalation of testing your power to death to cancel control by increasing control until it cancels and fails.

Man, scrambling to doc and discover and document my process of discovery at the same time, and broadcast in realtime in Idea Dev Page 18.

This Eadwine image f177 is EXCELLENT for figuring out ram seizure, ram thicket seizure dynamics better, connecting that to stability, balance,

{handedness} = model of control, {non/branching} = model of world

Found Individual Lash Pages Still Up at Metahistory – But No Site Map to Glue It Together

Best Title for Great Canterbury Psalter is Great Canterbury Psalter 🤯 (Against Lash)

I just don’t see any net gain by following Lash abstruse claims and going against the BY FAR the nicest title, per Wiki.

The story at wiki seems mercifully clear-cut: everyone calls it Great Canterbury Psalter. I don’t like Lash’s “Paris Eadwine Psalter” (why “paris”? irrel), I very don’t like “Anglo-Catalan”, 8846 – no one will call it that; technical.

I agree with Wiki that the title that doesn’t suck is Great Canterbury Psalter.

  • It’s great.
  • It’s made in Canterbury (ignore the added art)
  • It’s a Psalter.

What Is the Real Name of Great Canterbury Psalter – Can I Trust John Lash calling it “Latin MS 8846” – the “Paris Eadwine Psalter”?

https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/01/23/idea-development-page-16/#Johnson-Falsely-Says-Fatalism-Is-a-Supernatural-Belief

There, I quote Johnson, who indeed equates ‘naturalism’ with extremist hardcore reductionism/ physicalism/ cognitive neuroreductionism / materialism, just as the defenders of mystic experiencing claim that Sanders asserts in Sanders article Moving Past Mysticism.

Here, commit to this wildcard shifting term, just like “spirituality” is a shifting term ACCORDING TO JOHNSON. Johnson says the term ‘spiritiauliy’ has shifted in meaning so NOW, unlike YESTERDAY, we “naturlists” are all-clear to formulate “naturalistic spirituality”, which is as useful for my theory to marry as “naturalistic supernaturalism”.

Roast of the Vague, Magical, Superstition-loaded Word “Naturalism” Put Forth by Confused Matthew Johnson

Moving Past Mysticism: Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism Provides Scientific Basis, Superseding “Mysticism, Meditation, & Psychotherapy” Framework

really pretty funny & surprising development: yesterday (Feb 28) or just before my recent posting of “where’s the damn date!?!? of Good Friday 1962 experiment –

in the first half of the recording, I talk-through a REMARKABLE development: it turns out, that the word “naturalistic science” is completely unusable for theory -construction!

b/c the word “naturalism” is involved in the dumb war between Junk “Science” vs. Junk “Religion”

(we have a 3rd option for you savvy ppl: Junk “Esotericism”).

Dealbreakers Ruining the Word ‘Naturalism’ (Add It to the Forbidden Word List)

Two massive dealbreakers, no-go factors:

  • Everyone means something different by ‘naturalism’: can you PROMISE And GUARANTEE that Matthew Johnson means the same thing by the word as Chris Letheby? and Sanders & Zijlmans?
  • Everyone changes their conception of the word ‘naturalism’ every few days, or is liable & likely to do so.
  • NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE WORD “NATURALISM” MEANS, and it is ever-shifting confusion.

The word ‘naturalism’ is not my word — do not forget that!!

PROOF: Search the Egodeath Yahoo Group for “naturalism”: tell me, how many times do I advocate (over the course of 19 years) that we need to take a “naturalism” approach? Like, ZERO?! (Not confirmed, below. Time-consuming.)

I looked up oldest hit, false hit: found “supernaturalism” (a relevant word).
https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/?s=naturalism

Let’s switch from superstitious “supernaturalism” or “mystical” lexicon, to an equally vauge, shifting, loaded word “naturalism”.

I do advocate “STEM” style of model construction. That’s FAR less loaded than the political philosophy cultural warfare term of contention, “naturalism”.

My rebuttal to Matthew Johnson: AS IF the word ‘naturalism’ isn’t itself a vague, problematic, undefined LAY TERM!

Johnson, how is your pet (loaded) word ‘naturalism’ any clearer or less wooly-headed than the word “mystical”?!

Regardless of what Sanders & Zijlmans wrote in article “Moving Past Mysticism”, and regardless of what Chris Letheby’s book (see his Precis summary article & reply reply metareply in Metzinger’s journal), Matthew Johnson in particular confirms the worst accusations of the replies to Sanders claim.

The replies to “Moving Past Mysticism” describe Sanders as pushing a hardcore reductionism.

Sanders didn’t assert reductionism, but, Johnson does!

The replies to Sanders are strawman, but, those replies do accurately describe and characterize Johnson, who praises and has no problem with materialism and physicalism.

Does the Egodeath theory fit with materialism and physicalism, which Johnson approves of as an advocate of “naturalism”?

It is VERY worrisome what Johnson writes.

I love much of what Sanders actually wrote — but, what Johnson wrote is highly concerning: he equates “naturalism” with being counter to “fatalism”, so we are very quickly on soggy ground defined — or not — by Johnson’s sloppy language, he who lectures and cautions us about careless use of the word “consciousness” (article “Consciousness, Religin, Gurus: Pitfalls of Psychedelic Science”).

Eadwine Deliberate Sloppy Cross-under Misalignment to Make Puzzle Harder, with Precision Eye-Direction Drawing

This is such a huge contrdiction, it forces a discussion: this evidently apparently seems to be DELIBERATE sloppiness.

We’re expected to believe that Eadwine is SUCH a masterful painter, he can reliably provably depict that the horses are DEFINITELY looking at one particular mushroom cap that’s among a cluster of 5 – and yet, Eadwine is such a sloppy, clumsy, inept, poor painter, he can’t even handle drawing a stem passing behind another stem so as to retain alignment?!

How much more obvious would this puzzle be if the stem of the non-branching path had neat, consistent alignment?

As it is, this mushroom tree is a visually confusing mass of cluster, so it’s not obvious that the right-hand trunk is non-branching.

It would be interesting to Photoshop this image to fix it, to show how much more obvious the puzzle would be if the right-hand path were depicted more clearly and not with botched alignment.

todo: examine other Eadwine mushroom trees that have a stem passing behind another stem. Result: they are all PERFECT; therefore we are certain this is messaging, a puzzle posed. Solved Mar. 18 2023 in conjunction with the other honkingly awkward “bug or feature?”: ram’s leg under border hidden.

Micro-History/ Trajectory of Solving the Horse Puzzle Breakthrough

[1:40 a.m. February 27, 2023] while fresh from past half hour to two hours ago:

A day ago I think, I finished added pictures to the branching-message mushroom trees article, but I really wanted the extreme right-leg standing guy from Eadwine Great Canterbury Psalter because he so explicitly and so extremely conveys standing on right foot and avoiding any reliance on left leg & left hand.

And depicts relying on right hand and on God the creator, the higher controller.

So I added the full image to my branching-message mushroom trees article, probably end of day Feb 25 2023.

Then below, in Idea Dev page 18, I was posting some miniatures from Van Der Borch, because some eg Prince Absalom has pretty clear YI tree pair, and I ended up studying & noting the difference below, and writing-up brief descriptors justifying the artists variance and options employed to NOT rigidly show YI pairs that are all the same literal morphology, but I had to explain the lack of strict consistency: artists have to demonstrate creative flexibility in applying or playing the rules of this genre.

You have to depict eternalism & non-branching & handedness somehow, but it is flexible and we expect each instance to have its own twist, its own unique way of expressing the standard type of tropes/ motifs.

Then I tried to decode the image as horse dung because I had been reading and typing up in my page complaining against how 3 books are typical in painting the narrative/ impression of “Amanita = Europe, Psilocybin = Americas”

For the 1-hour or 2-hour micro pre-history leading up to the developments on the present page, first see my creation of this fresh 2-panel crop of horses + right-stand-man, in page: https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/23/stamets-factoid-no-psilocybin-england-europe-before-1976/

Stamets wrote Cubensis grows on (as habitat niche) dung from bovines, horses, elephants, and a Panaeolus section says specifically a strain of Panaeolus on horse dung in particular, so I was looking at the image thinking it shows horses producing horse dung producing mushrooms, and I had been looking at tree YI morphology either with a pair of trunks or a single trunk, in the Van Der Borch minis, and so I applied that same morphology view to classify this tree – and THEN AND THEN I SAW IT that … that the lower right trunk branch leads to only a SINGLE CAP, which thus is equivalent to {cut right trunk}!

Really not sure if I ever wrote up that newly clarified principle of equivalence! TODO:

Principle of Equivalence of Cut Branch = Single Cap = Less Branching = holding closer to trunk;
non-cut branch = multiple caps = more branching = holding further from trunk.

right = relatively less branching = non-branching, = right hand, = eternalism

rather than:

left = possibilism = branching = relatively more branching = holding far from trunk.

I think I first saw and forgot that one of the minis (miniatures paintings) does this cross-over switchback trick, which I noticed a year ago and didn’t mention, the fake-out switching sides , and I think one of the below minis does that.

Next, I looked at this tree, re: “Did you know, you can either use two trees, one more branching than the other, OR, you can use a single tree,

“Did you know, you don’t HAVE to employ cut branch, equivalent is “single cap” in contrast to “multi cap” and that latter can be a separate trunk/ tree, or OR, a separate main trunk branch using a single trunk”

“So let us examine this horse dung cubensis next to the “standing right leg” “held up by right hand” image, re: morphology: here we see a single trunk which splits WHOA WAIT wow, look at that, it really seems to be an instance of single-trunk YI tree — not employing {cut right trunk} but employing equivalently, single-right-cap constrasted against multi-left-cap.

Then I wrote that up below. Now i was looking at the isolated tree, lacking the horses on right looking right, (i had no idea of that yet), and b/c it was so cropped and so zoomed, i could see… UNBELIEVABLE but it kind of looks AS IF the horses are looking at my blue non-branching cap.

That’s pretty way-out from believability, but if you trace [at this point i reach for a straightedge] you CAN make a defensible case that the horse — in fact, that both horses are looking at that particular cap!

It’s not believable, yet it is defensible, it so happens (that the horses can be proved to look at the non-branching ie single/lone blue cap).

Surely an artist can’t aim horse eyes w/ that precision that the viewer could prove what the horses are looking at! Right?

So I started writing that up, below.

Then I was going back to the 2-panel crop, sitting back looking at scene, and started to ask what are the other two horses, pooping so facing right – but what are THEY looking at, if we entertain that unbelievable, the possible but improbable idea that you can see what they’re looking at.

Out came the straightedge again.

I started writing that up, below.

but this unbelievable idea would have to be demonstrated to audience by looking-lines, John Rush type of lines that add to the confusion:

“In this Brown-certified Blurry Internet Image, we clearly see mushrooms being handed out.” [shows blurry pic of sticks & feathers, w/ lines on it]

At this point I sat back and admired the pairs of horses connecting the non-branching cap-branch with the right-leg-guy.

Impressive, how the motifs work together.

“I really want to see zoomed in closely” to see what is the arc range of possible things the horses are looking at?

So then I drew lines on the picture, across the midnight calendar flip, and that gave the exact proof that yes, indeed, this artist knew it was possible to aim eyes that provably, with that sufficient level of precision, and so the artist demonstrated that mechanism of provable eye-pointing.

And my annotations prove it, that the artist did so, employing eye angles to communicate a definite message of non-branching & handedness from horse dung cubensis. — Cybermonk [2:28 a.m. February 27, 2023]

I was really wanting the right-leg-standing guy for my article. You better come through, right-leg-standing guy

(that’s like I recently said about: “Dancing Man you better not let me down, wasting my server space.” — https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/04/13/salamander-mushroom-tree-right-side-cut/ )

So the right-leg-standing guy & his horses (I NEVER thought there would be a tight connection between the two panels!) really came through and EARNED THEIR PLACE IN MY branching-message mushroom trees ARTICLE, after all!

‘Naturalism’ Means Committing to Afffirming Their Principle X

But what do the “naturalistic” Johnson, Letheby, Sanders, & Zijlmans say about this image?

You know, everyone konws, that the answer is: INDETERMINATE! Or negative.

I was saved by a Christian video about how all the scientists of the scientific revolution came from Christianity, against Naturalism. It problematized “naturalism”.

This image shows that you consciously depend on God for control stability, the source of your control thoughts.

Is that God’s-hand-from-cloud approved per Scientific Naturalism? per Johnson-approved “materialism”, and per the “physicalism” that he praises as his reference points in his review of Letheby’s book?

Naturalism means flexible varied things to various people.

I think the effects of Psilocybin have the JUST RIGHT amount of variation; I don’t need any more random wildcard factor, thanks anyway.

The effects of Amanita are whatever, unknown, varying, indeterminate: sounds like a solid foundation to construct & build a theory on, right?!

The conception of “naturalism” means whatever; unknown; varying, indeterminate, the definition changes every couple years — sounds like a solid foundation to construct & build a theory on, right?!

Let’s get to signing these marriage papers right away, huh? Then later you might get to learn about what you’ve married & taken on in this partnership with Entity X, aka Amanita, aka “naturalism”, aka “God” the “higher controller”.

Controller X brings quite enough indeterminacy, thanks, don’t need more ….

the advocates of hardcore reductionism materialism physicalism & Cognitive Neuro-Reductionism — oh oops I meant to sell to you as, “the advocates of Scientific Naturalism” have a proposal for you:

Align the Egodeath theory with Principle X.

What is Principle X? We call it “naturalism“.

What does Principle X mean? Well Principle X is counter to fatalism. The Egodeath theory is anti-fatalism, right?

Finishing up confirmation at [11:18 p.m. February 26, 2023] – wow, didn’t realize how tightly these two panels work together.

It didn’t occur to connect the pieces:

  • The two horses looking at [what significant thing on the left?] and
  • the two horses looking at [what significant thing on the Right?]

I had failed to ask “What is each horse looking at?”

Double + double looking, the emphasis keeps pouring in.

The painter/ artist is telling you where to look, for significance, to confirm and amplify the communication of significance. Looking, + smiling, x2.

The artist is using the horses, the horses which seemed to be a problem to me because they had no significance, they served no purpose; they weren’t being used to accomplish anything.

Just like the added branches and cut branches in mushroom trees — so I thought at start of day March 21, 2022 (still calling them “problematic-branching mushroom trees”) — weren’t being used for any substantive purpose.

Now I recognize the horses are serving a significant purpose: affirming/ amplifying significance, by what thing their eyes (and smiles) are directed at.

I Just Noticed Something About this Horse Mushroom Tree: It Actually IS a Self-Contained YI Morphology! [10:01 p.m. February 26, 2023]

And the Horses Are Looking at the Non-Branching Blue Cap, Not the Branching Red Caps

Starting from the trunk, moving up, the primary split has multi-cap Y on Left split, but only leads to a single cap on the Right split (blue cap).

The horses are looking at the top of the blue cap, eyes not aimed at red caps.

Eadwine is known for facial expressivity of animals, per Wiki, bolstering the significance of the horses both (redundancy = communication parity check/confirmation) are looking at the blue cap — the single-cap branch of the primary trunk split.

This is the panel to the left of the extremely right-limb favoring guy.

The indicators add up to provide the justified messaging confirmation.

And the Other Horses Are Smiling Looking at Right-Limb Guy

What are the other two horses looking upon favorably? The right-limb-supported guy.

Both panels favor right limb; both panels exude {handedness} messaging.

Eadwine was drunk in execution, couldn’t handle his mushrooms, SLOPPY crossover (compare leftmost blue cap’s cross-under, it is aligned).

10:27 pm corrob: tan horse is looking at cap 3 blue, which is the non-branching major trunk branching split.

Further corrob would involve looking for this morphology in other mushroom trees: a single trunk, the first split, on the right leads to 1 cap, on the left leads to multiple caps. I was able to see this after inspecting earlier today Van Der Borch

Keeping Track of New Bright-Color Crops

Let’s go get the isolated tree – is it the old dull colors? how dull? It seems bright-colors even though it’s not recent.
Ans: I’d have to do same crop again to assess; not obviously dull. wait, hypothesis:

  • Then I Captured scene – dull, or bright, by that time?
  • Then I made a crop of the scene – dull colors?
  • The last think I thing I did around Feb 2021 & Feb 2022(?) in making then publishing my gallery of 75 mushroom trees: capture & crop freshly, each tree – by that time, they fixed the colors.
  • Tonight I created a fresh the above fresh 2-panel crop, I didn’t use the older 2+ panel crop w/ vine leaf tree at bottom.

Tree Morphology

define bough – “a main branch of a tree”

“What is the difference between bough and branch?

Answer: https://bugwoodcloud.org/resource/files/15277.pdf
Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care, Warnell School, UGA –

Tree morphology is the study of external shape, form, and structure.

“Sub-Division
A technical term for branching is ramify, which means to subdivide (branch off of) an axis.

“The primary subdivisions of a stem which generate secondary growth (growth in girth or circumference) have been called by various names.

“A bough is any large division of the stem axis.

“A limb is a primary division of a stem or bough which bears foliage.

“A branch is a large, medium, or small division of the main axis of the stem or another branch.”

Reverted Harmful Joke “Great Mushroom Psalter” in Site Map Back to “Great Canterbury Psalter” (all Psalters are Mushroid)

Formal Research Articles Are Irrelevant: They Study Newbie Psychonauts vs. Non-Drug Religionists; They Fail to Study Advanced Religious Psychonauts

I’m annoyed and frustrated with trying to fit in with uninspired masses of academics.

Their work fails to be relevant to mine (not v.v.).

They are all lost and confused, so how is citing their failed, clueless work supposed to legitimize or improve my wipe-the-slate-clean article?

Like the problem of “peer review” for a new explanatory theory, kind of a self-contradiction.

Finally Mostly Finished Enhanced Version of Samorini 1998 Article Page, After 3 Years, Showing What a Massive, Milestone Article It Actually Is

Finally linked the TOC:
“Mushroom-Trees” in Christian Art (Samorini 1998)
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/mushroom-trees-in-christian-art-samorini/
Highly enhanced. TOC, white space, color images.

Jeez what a major pain! Since Dec. 20, 2020, I’ve been trying to simply make a copy of Samo’s 1998 article.

I FINALLY finished linking the ten million (ie 25) image sections, fabricating the headings that Samorini should have had.

His Italian & English article is exactly like a minified code file: almost as bad as ancient writings that leave out all whitespace and concatenate all the words into one giant long string.

He has no TOC, no section headings, no white space, no paragraph breaks, no nothing. His article is just a long series of … one giant long paragraph containing 800 sentences all jammed together, unreadable, incomprehensible. It took me 3 years to construct normal skimmable apparatus and readability via whitespace.

This page is still a confused disaster, need to remove the content that was wrongly put here:
The Mushroom-Tree of Plaincourault (Samorini 1997)
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/04/16/samorini-plaincourault-mushroom-trees-article/
Fake article, is there even 1 word about the 1997 article? It’s just me being confused about which article I’m talking about.
Self-contradictory URL: “plaincourault-mushroom-trees

I confused my webpage about his 1998 vs 1997 articles, still working on straightening that out.

I’m facepalming in many ways about my poor, confusing design of the two webpages.

I revised my page titles so they don’t suck (I did a awful job of titling them before, wtf) and so they aren’t all confused about what article we’re talking about.

two engines double lifted garment double non-branching tree selected and bent left leg = standing weight on right leg. Dumb Peter bends right leg?

[10:58 p .m. February 21, 2023] Entry Golden: just noticed oppostion overall of dumb Peter vs. smart gate guy, first their hands, then their legs: I can prove Peter’s weight is on left leg, one evidence is mirroring gate guy, also confirmed increasingly touching feet touching feet. image reverse, reverse Peter proves when aligend w/ the other bent leg figures, prove he mirrors:

/angle of feet

Feet Angle = Standing on Right Leg: Left can’t see heel up, right heel shown down. Left aimed at viewer can’t see angle heel, right heel def’ly down

I remember writing just a little about this, better mention again: which heel can you see? Right heel down? can’t tell if left heel down, thus it is up. Entire right foot shown down, left we only see toe down, look at heels of youths laying outer garment under donkey:

11:01 p.m. February 21, 2023]: more confirmation of a theory decoding i need to make sure I’ve adequately announced bc sometimes 2002 to 2004 I had only MENTIONED snake = worldline, like that, zero sign of breadth or comprehending how major that decoding is.

Look at the feet in lower left *& lower right of Golden Entry J.

Project: Crop & Mirror Peter Like Gate Guy & Enoch

Peter flipped to see eg: by mirroring, he’s standing on left leg, and right leg is bent, we don’t need to see; it is IMPLICIT by virtue of mirroring

Peter holds key, gate guy holds removed branch

Peter has round halo, gate guys have round arch

Peter the clueless holds fingers branching, gate guy holds fingers together

Peter is contradicted by Jesus’ donkey’s feet. The principle of implicit, of definite implicit.

donkey right-hoof down, peter near-foot (= right foot) up.

gate guy left foot up (weight not on)

peter contradicts all other legs here. and his branching fingers contradict Jesus’ held-together fingers and gate guy’s held-togeher fingers.

i think it was just tonight EOD feb 21 2023 i specifically saw the mirroring of Peter branching splayed fingers vs. gate-guy together.

Teh The key debate. The pink key teree tree.

Peter says “my key is branching”. bat gate guy says my key is removed branching. key = branch or key = nonbranch, removed branch. irony you cannot express nonbranching well, w/o showing branching, contrast. Child Jesus teaching w/ one finger — how enlightenement indicate, hold 1 non-branching ifn finger up.

Peter holds branching fingers close to key,
gate guy holds together-fingers far away from removed branch.

flipped peter

[12:13 a p.m. February 22, 2023] ANOTHER, 2nd reason why– evidence for “cap is considered non-branching”:
in the case where you have two trees in a Y/I pairing, the single-cap (single-crown) tree is the relatively non-branching one.
single cap = non-branching –> “cap is considered non-branching”.

Plainc Eve holds nonbranching cap in front of branching legs.

Salamander avoids branching parts of tree but right paw touches cap.

Image 54 top: Entry into Jerusalem

Peter outvoted by donkeys.

Donkey: left foot up, right foot down.

Peter: Left heel down full foot, left foot barely down, right leg bent, mirroring gate guy’s legs & feet

foal donkey right foot down, implies left foot up (rear left foot up too like donkey) – all we need is 1 leg and we double the donkey vote: i can actually tell the implied little donkey:

left front up

right rear down

left rear up

bent leg is shown to be equal to {left foot back} of the garment spreaders.

Decoded: Hold Left Hand High in Tree = More Branching, Left Hand Low in Tree = Less Branching

[7:28 p.m. February 20, 2023] i’m announcing a new decoding applicable to Entry into Jeru: youths hold left hand high toward greater amoount of branching, and hold right hand low, toward less amount of branching (closer to the single trunk).

Peter’s Hand Is Wrong

I’ll emphasize again: You are a failed medieval artist if you do what (rude, dehumanizing) Panofsky claims, and magically, slavishly follow templates, as a human copying machine.

Actually, working in this genre, you are expected to PROVE that you comprehend the high-level PRINCIPLE of branching vs. nonbranching (ie possibilism-thinking vs eternalism-thinking).

You have to INNOVATE in your employment of motifs of branching vs. non-branching.

This is why Jesus A contradicts Jesus B & Jesus C re: finger shapes.

There is no one, static, fixed, magic “blessing” gesture; there is only the total class of ways to express contrast of branching vs. non-branching.

[7:05 p.m. February 20, 2023] solved a contrast: Peter’s fingers held apart (to be read here as foolishly affirming branching) b/c Peter is always wrong, vs. the man who is passing through gate holds fingers together:

quick copy/paste:

Entry Into Jerusalem (Golden Munich Psalter)

Figure 1. Entry Into Jerusalem (Golden Munich Psalter). https://www.loc.gov/resource/gdcwdl.wdl_08939/?sp=54

Features:

  • Peter’s right-hand fingers are splayed branching, which is erroneous (asserting possibilism branching).
  • Man passing through gate has fingers together, which is correct (non-branching).
  • Man passing through gate has bent left leg; weight on right leg.
  • Donkey has bent left leg; relying on right leg.
  • Jesus’ right foot touches donkey’s straight right leg.
  • Baby donkey’s right leg is down.
  • Man in gate holds a removed branch in right hand, near the cut branch.
  • Peter has two mushroom hems.
  • Crouching youth has a mushroom hem.
  • Jesus holds right-hand fingers together, non-branching, contrasted near the branching mushroom pair.
  • 2 Youths in Branching Mushroom Tree
  • Christ on Donkey Lifting Left Leg
  • Standing on Cloak
  • Youth removes outer garment.
  • Holding Removed Branches
  • Blood on held-out branch aimed at king Jesus.
  • Mushroom Hems
  • Right leg standing in tree on cut branch.
  • Peter holds the key to kingdom, to pass through the gate of Jerusalem.
  • Youth in tree holds out a {removed branch}.  
  • {standing on right foot} on a {cut branch}.
  • Youth climbs tree with straight right leg on cut trunk, bent left leg on main branching point.
  • Higher youth in tree holds lower thicker branch in right hand, higher thinner branch in left hand.

Huge design question: whether & how much wordcount to expend on other people’s Lame, Wrong Ideas

It is good to relate this article to CEQ.

An article is expected to relate to other publications. But there is lots of flexy in how to do this.

Many of these articles are ultra-terse and vague, SUPER SHALLOW AS POSSIBLE, in their citations of previous publications.

You are (ironically) encouraged to do cursory-as-possible references to previous publications. The more cursory, the better. Give ultra compact nutshell points “backed up” by the BAREST mention of an article. Or refute them with barest mention/ summary.

The Doctrine of Artist Responsibilty:

The Artist Is Responsible for Trying to Deliver a Muhsroom Impreission, You Can’t “Shield” them from Being Intentional Responsible Artists

Push a Mushroom If You Give Impression of Mushroom, You Are Responsible for Forcing a Mushroom Impression on the Viewer

Panofsky told Wasson TWICE — ABOUT about Brinc book

but where does Wasson — please tell me — mention the name ‘Brinckmann’, who Panofsky TWICE, STRONGLY advised Wasson to read

Poor Pan had to go to the trouble of looking up the alien/ foreign, rare, old booklittle, Panofsky calls it — from way back in 1096 1906, – now is 1952, an entire 46 years ago!

It is “little”, 86 page book that has a cockamamy definifite tracing exactly linear over time, evidence proves — SEE BRINCKMAN FOR PROOF of this — we have THOROUGHLY covered the topic of mushroom trees, they most assuredly are definitely Italian Pine (

curiously, Wasson deviated from that cover-story with his more baloney explanation, “trees of the Palestine type

wtf does that even supposed to mean, FOG OF COVER UP.. the cover-up type of vague bluff, THE FOG-BLUFF TREE SPECIES”.

“We were able to construct a story, therefore we are right” – Wasson & Panofsky, to cons somewhat allied but con Wasson BLOCKS! con man crooked-arguer Panofsky.

Con Wasson blocked con Panofsky. Basically. Hatl! Halt! with THAT scholarship, NOT ALLOWED. COVER UP IN PROCESS… i have successfully BLOCKED (and the two mysteyr photostats, impossibly vague,

I will ask Evil M. Hoffman cough up photostats, urls pls.

Two different stories in fact, so we are we are double-right. 😑 😑

and mushroom tree artists would be SHOCKED and have NO IDEA that the artists are consciously, CHOOSING, shapes that MAXIMIALLy force upon viewer “musrhoom trees”, and they gave you the art hists, that impression. “Its a meaningless accident, artists are dolts, they are not responsible

Not your lie of “once the art world had come to accept maximum mushroom impression forcing” —

he’s robbing artists of all intentionality and self-ownership, he is totally insulting artists, in the name of shielding them from the catastrophe that would result if the artist were admitting to what we KNOW we are GUARANTEED the artist “world …

what a phrase!!

he robs an entire culture of intentional deliberate choosing of the art style motifs and intentions.

“the art world came to accept”. Real people don’t talk like this, this sounds just like if it were made-up fabricated cover excuses, BS in short.

This sounds like BS, Panofsky, your awkward, insulting wording, “the art world came to accept that what we art experts call “mushroom trees” bc we assess that they look like mushrooms.

what’s your cover excuse to shield the mushroom looking artists from being aware that their trees look as mushroom-like as they can possibly do

but you say this is not artistic intentional choice, but it “just happened” and after it “just happened” then “the art world came to accept “–

BUT WHY DID THEY “COME TO ACCEPT”, specifically the most mushroom-lookin’ trees you can possibly have.

*Why* did “the art world come to accept” the most mushroom looking trees,

THAT is THE question, don’t act dumb

The failed coverup-story cockamamy “the art world came to accept the distortions that produced what appeas to be trees that are MEANT to look like mushrooms?

Why on earth would “the art world come to accept” (your so insulting Pan, to shield them with a wall of BS.

The Panofsky BS shield: side effect: robs “the art world” of all intentionality. Its the Mushroom Exception: artists do art with intentionality EXCEPT in the case where, for NO REASON, Pines (Palestine tree types??) target the mushroom form.

We know that the final mushroom lookin form is reasonless is; the proof is: BECAUSE WE CAN TRACE THE TRAJECTORY , therefore, the target that’s aimed for doesn’t count, and is irrelevant accident lacking any intentionality.

What matters is not the target, but the spot the bowman stands, pay all attention to the bowman, pls ignore the target.

Image Crops of the 4-5 Handwriting Samples on the Two Panofsky Letters Proves Panofsky (not Wasson) Wrote the Brinckmann Citations/ Recommendations

Exercised done – pretty slam-dunk, basically proof I was wrong & unthinking in accusting Wasson or collegue of hand writing, when I already have in hand, handwriting samples 100% certain to be Pan’s.

Lesson Learned: How NOT to do theorizing: LEAP to conclusions then build critique on that, in fine Panofsky fashion.

That couldn’t convince a gnat AND WASSON KNOWS THAT, that’s why he CENSORED Brinckmann’s book which poor Pan went to the labor of writing down the exact title by hand — this is a different narrative I’ve developed the past couple days since I created the Panofsky Letters page a few days ago and looked at Pan’s handwriting at bottom vs. the vertical book citation. As I should have done the day I started looking at the hand writing on the letters. I LEAPT to ASSUMING (presuppositions unthinking) that it was Wasson’s hand, don’t know why I didn’t ask “Is it Pan’s hand?” especially since we have …. that would be an interesting image-crop exercise, lay all of the hand writing crops side-by-side and I bet an obvious match.

RECENT CHANGE OF ANALYSIS:

Errata Announce: I Retract “Wasson’s own hand” writing Brinc book title, It Is Panofsky’s handwriting, 100% makes sense

The nature of Wasson’s guilt is somewhat different becuse Pan hand-wrote Brinc cite on letter before sent, not Wasson write… I f’d up in not considering Pan OBVIOUSLY wrote it. That was negative theorizing, an example of an ERROR in doing theory.

Why did I fail to consider Pan as the writer? That was really stupid of me.

It’s elementary that I … I need to watch read more whodunnits. Any whodunnit nut woulda known IT WAS THE SENDER WHO DID IT.

This makes Wasson guildty of scholarly censorship and deceit about communications, anti-scholarship activities, multiple times lying by omission, to mislead people — ABSOLUTELY INECUSCUSABLE WASSON PRETENDING THERE’S NO BRINC BOOK. Pan recomm it STRONGLY, twice!! Where does wasson say or write the word Brinck or that there are more (pathetic) lame arguments , WEAK,that Pan presents. Why does Wasson supress and COVER UP the reast of Letter 1… HE CUT OUT THE SCHOLARLY PART, this is SABOTAGE of scholarship, this is impeding scholarship, a cover-up operation. Inexcusable to suppress Brinckmann cite which Pan TWICE, strongly recomm, in handwriting, on both letters, this was Panofsky’s major #1 point was READ BRINCKMANN’S BOOK, WE’VE COVERED mentioning the word Pilzabuam 5 hits in Brinc book, that DEMOLISHES any notion that mushroom trees mean msh. Why? bc 5 LAME reasons that convince you if you are a committed skeptic and willing to INSULT the H out of artists, robbing them of inte… of responsibility and artistic ownership. “the art world came to accept”: I demand that you address them as conscious intensilational, WHY did “the art world come to accept ” the most mushroom-lookin’ trees they could possibly manage to come up with, WHY?? WHY DO MUSHROOM TREES LOOK LIKE AS MUSHROID AS THEY COULD MANAGE TO COME UP WITH, WHY? “THE ART the art world came to accept” is no explanation , it is an anti -expla that dehumanizes artists and robs art of intentino it is a crime against art, to argue “the art world came to accept” that Pine was drawn absolutely as msh like of a tree, why did the pine get distorted IN THAT DIRECTION AND NOT TOWARD SOME OTHER FORM? “No reason, accident, we got no intentionality, it s just MEANINGLESS ARBITRARY ACCIDENTAL STYLE that they came to look like mushrooms: trees drawn as stylized to look like mushrooms. Pan’s bizzare “since med artists are photorealistic nature artists all of a sudden – direct see self contradication. When it suits his argument, artists draw photorealistically, to draw a mushroom, but to draw a tree, artists are intention-lacking slaves of the prototypes which by random accident for stylistic reasons look like msh — ask the artists: why do your trees look like mushrooms? I know that you know what msh look loke and I know that you know that the audience will take one look at your “art world’s” trees as and say “we art historicans report that these look like muhsroom trrees.” Why do you persist in drawing trees that force the viewer to think of mushrooms? You are responsible, artist, OS SO i made my awesome kickass PRINCIPLE OF ARTIST RESPONBILITY: Against the censors, blockers of scholarship like Wasson blocked Pan from providing scholarly cite, and covered it up , the existence of Brinc book. WHY? Guilty! Wasson the anti-schoalrs, the blocker of scholarship, the deceiver about scholarship, the discourager of scholarship.

HEY WASSON WHY DID U COVERUP BRINC BOOK – WTF IS UP W THAT YOU HAVE SOME ESPLAIN TO DO.

WASSON YOU ARE GUILTY OF SCHOLARLY COVERUP.

WASSON the Wasson the anti-scholarship cover-up artists, what a con, dishonest, interfering with scholarship, deceiving people REPEATEDLY life-long.

Phony Wasson the liar of omission, repeatedly, a cover-up of scholarship. A suppression of scholarship. Inexcusable. Guilty. What was the your motivation for your scholarsly crime, Wasson? Who gained by you covering-up Pan’s double-strong citation of Brinc? Where do you write the word ‘Brinckmann’, I assume nowhere … this was EXACTLY the citation I was enraged at and accusing Wasson of in 2006:

Hand Over the goddam Cite, Wasson — if there is one,

just how shady is the sitch?

I wrote in a 2006 formal article — what level of shady here?

EITHER things were medium-shady (Pan gave cite, Wasson BLOCKS cite) or things were EXTREMELY shady: there are no cites!

My q in 2006: Which is it?

Are there no cites, OR, the other alt’ve, there are, WE KNOW FOR A FACT if there are any, ten Pan IS OBLIGED AND FORCED to cite them,

you cannot make a HUGE MASSIVE CLAIM and NOT CITE.

It is *automatic* that as a scholar, when you make BIG HUGE CLAIM, the world will yell at you in unison, “ain’t got no cite, ain’t got NO CRED.

No cite, No Cred,

everyone in this market knows: no cite, no cred, and

EVERYONE will call BS ON on u if u got no cite.

There are only two options, I accused Wass — and possibly Pan — in 2006:

Either Wasson is guilty of censoring scholarship, OR, Pan cannot produce any and is BLUFFING when claiming “we art historians know about those”

“OK WHEREZ THE CITE!!” he gets hit with from every listener; standard acad practice/ expectations.

You don’t make big claims w/o at least a fake cite, a bluff citation:

like, a 46- year old book that’s only 86 pages long, “little” Pan calls it. THAT’S ALL U GOT??!! 1 “ITTLE “little” (your words) book.

One. Little. Book. 46 years old. AND… the two photostat art images, what were they, we can brief general descrip, can we hope to GUESS what images?

Slim chance!?! Simply go email Ruck , ask Hey Ruck pls send pics of the art attached to Pan Letter 1. thx, Cybermonk

Todo: Ask Evil M. Hoffman pls send pics of the art that was attached to Panofsky Letter 1.

Let us snag that vague desc:
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/05/panofskys-censored-pair-of-letters-to-wasson-revealed/#Letter-1-per-Sentence

“a miniature of ca. 990 which shows the inception of the process, viz., the gradual hardening of the pine into a mushroom-like shape

“a glass painting of the thirteenth century, that is to say about a century later than your fresco, which shows an even more emphatic schematization of the mushroom-like crown.”

Panofsky reasons: steadily over time, the trees Pines look more, and more, and more , and more like mushrooms, every year over history the pines become more definitely mushroom looking. This proves that the are not trying to look like mushrooms, but “the art world came to accept🎉👍🍄 🤖

WE ARE THE ART WORLD 🤖 🤖 🤖 🤖 WE COME TO ACCEPT MORE MUSHROOM LOOKIN TREES EACH YEAR 🤖 🍄 🤖 🍄UNTIL THEY CANNOT GET ANY MORE MUSHROOM LOOKIN 🍄 🤖 🍄 🍄 THIS PROVES THAT THEY DON’T MEAN MUSHROOMS 🍄 🍄 🍄 🍄 – Q.E.D. Panosky the world’s most influential art historian (sry to hear that)

brain-dead arguments, thypicall typical of Psilocybin denial. To deny it apparently requires brain-dead pseduo-arguments that CANNOT ENDURE A MOMENT’S CHALLENGE, these “arguments” are the thinnest pretext of being arguments.

“too many mushrooms, QED end of discusson, no need to define & defend my stupid insulting non-argument” – it sounds like what it is, a flimsy cover-up sloppy sad denial effort that contradictes itsself:

Pan: medival artists didn’t work from nature, nature, but from prototypes.

Also Pan: If artists wanted to draw msh, they would omit branches, based on using nature rather than prototypes. SELF CONTRADICTORY along with robbing “the art world” of intentionality , you CANNOT ARG “it doesn’t matter what the end result looked like, the ONLY thing that “counts” is the original form. SAYS WHO? Who would believe that arbitary ignoring of half the queestion: THE DSSTINATION-FORM QUESTION: WHY DID PINES REACH *THIS* MUSHROOID DESTINATION-FORM, you can’t just do what you do, IGNORE IT and claim “the only ting that “counts” — no one would agree to that idieotic insulting rule! Obv the question is WHY did art world “come to accet” *this* trajectory , this target form? One that OU YOU KNOW that the artists know that this FORCES a mushroom impressino. WHY is art world worilling willing to intentionally choosing to force a mushroom impression on you professuhal art historians such that YOU CALL THEM MUSHROOM TREES – you claim that there’s no reason , you assert that it is “just from sloppy crappy artists discusion for no reason, we know this BECAUSE WE TRACE THE DEEVMT TRAJECTORY THEREFORE it doesn’t count that that traj aimed at exactly the most mushroom lookin trees possible, WHY THAT TRAJECTORY, THAT DIRECTION OF PROGRESSIVE, UNIFORM DEVELOPMENT?

Not that I believe his BS that they ever originated from Ial Italian pines, EVEN WASSON SAYS PANOF IS WRONG ABOU TI ITAL PINES, wass says “of a Palestinne type”

OH NOES THE TWO EXPERT CON MEN DISAGREE!

WASSON: “def Palestine tree type”

Pan: “def Italian pine”

The BS artists both self-contradict AND contradict each other too. No wonder Wasson just censored most of it, he recognized con man Pan’s “arguments” as flimsy as f, PANOFSKY FAILED TO CONVINCE WASSON,

Pan = Idiot; he believes mush trees don’t mean msh

Was = Liar; he belieaves AAGINST PAN – that is my point here, Wsson Wasson called BS on Pan’s bogus flimsy args, “they would have to omit branches like naturalistic painters”, the con man contradicts self, “con man” = contradict yourself.

Wasson to Pan: “Stop, your arguments are an embarrassment, you’re making both of us into fools. Yor args are so lame & inconsistnt, you’re going to turn everyone to the light, that of course msh trees are trying to give impressino to viewer of mush, just exactly as art hist call them Pilzbaum, msh trees, we are solidly in mushroom land – WHY.

the Egodeath theory explains WHY his Ital pine – or is it “Pal tree trye ” per wasson? the experts diagree o no

What is the meaning of mushroom trees? Why did “the art world come to accept” mush trees? Because religion comes from mushrooms and the peak effect which is eternalism experiencing, which is source of myth.

Myth describes eternalism exp’g, the eternalism experiential mode.

con’t

3 reasons obv why that’s an lame argument.

Panofsky is trying to prevent a mushroom ORIGIN.

Pan says the DIRECTION of sloppy accidental development “doesn’t count” – to agree, you must assert there is no reason

, he says it doesn’t count, the artist is innocent of meaning msh if it ENDED UP msh that doesn’t count, the ONLY thing that matters, he want u to think, is th ORIDING ORIGIN. He claims the ORIGIN is the ONLY tin thing that matters.

Produce a cite or you prove you are lying; we academics will call you a liar if you got no cite.

Produce a cite, or we know you obv are makeing sht up.

PRETENDING Panofsky didn’t STRONGLY cite Brinckmann in TWO letters, by hand writing added specifically to recomm and properly cite Brinckmann.

Panofsky went to great effort to cite Brinckmann, AND WASSON WENT TO GREAT EFFORT TO BLOCK THE CITATION OF BRINCKMANN.

Handwriting analysis con’t:

I should have ENGAGED BRAIN.

Relevance: Retract my calling Wasson guilty of writing in his own hand or associate’s hand and then censoring. Not what happened. Pan OF COURSE wrote it before sending letter. Wasson is still a bad guy, but in a differnet way.

We can treat this as a conclusion. There are many reasons why it makes sense that of course it would have been Pan who hand wrote, not Wasson that scenario wouldn’t make any sense. See Pan letters page here for bit more my original writeup upon realizing I WAS MISTAKEN , i hadn’t analystzed well.

I was not thinking it through: it doesn’t make any sense that Wasson and crew would have handwritten Pan bk title. There’s every reason to think and conclude that it’s Pan’s writing.

AND SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY REALIZED IT’S SURELY PANOFSKY’S NOT WASSON ET AL.

No Quotes – Waste of Wordcount

Don’t waste word count on quotes, no one else does.

These journal-article guys love thousands of vague citations, never ex/… rarely exact… rarely do they expend their own wordcount quoting other peoples’ inane, bunk, pseudo-arguments.

How many times did the replies to Sanders & Zijlmans article “Moving Past Mysticism” quote them? Zero.

Moving Past Mysticism: Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism Provides Scientific Basis, Superseding “Mysticism, Meditation, & Psychotherapy” Framework – 2023/01/15
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/01/15/the-theory-of-psychedelic-eternalism-provides-a-scientific-explanatory-basis-for-mystic-state-experiencing/

They just reported Sanders’ position, as:

“Sanders says, in Moving Past Mysticism, we should run over old ladies and kick puppydogs.”

“Sanders says there is no such thing as subjective experiencing.” “Sanders in article [citation] asserts that we are not allowed to study mystical experiencing, but must use materialistic neuroscience only.”

SHOCKINGLY UNPROFESSIONAL!

The (non-) “reply” articles state that they are replying to Sanders’ statements…. but they NEVER quote him, and they grotesquely mis-characterize and in fact IGNORE Sanders’ clearly articulated recommendations.

Only the good journalist escapes, Don Lattin, b/c he ACTUALLY QUOTES AND INTERVIEWS them — but still, Lattin perpetuates the Caricature-vs.-Caricature war, as much as he can while still interspersing that with quotes.

Sanders does not straw man the mystic camp.

But the mystic camp straw mans the HELL out of Sanders.

Sanders states / articulates their position more than clearly enough, repeatedly, up front.

But the mystics — in fine mystics fashion — simply IGNORE what Sanders clearly wrote, and they reply to their fabricated caricature, while CLAIMING to be replying to what Sanders wrote (they do no such thing, as reply to what Sanders wrote).

Never quote; only summarize and reference.

  • Erwin Panofsky “They Would Have Omitted the Branching” Quote
  • Erwin Panofsky “Too Many Mushroom Trees” Quotes
  • Marcia Kupfer “Youths in Trees Cutting Branches” Quote

Panofsky Quote

“If the artists had labored under the delusion that the model before him was meant to be a mushroom rather than a schematized tree he would have omitted the branches altogether.” (Panofsky, May 12, 1952, in Brown 2019)

Mâle Quote

“it seemed almost as though the miniaturists were the true creators of the types adopted later by sculptor and glass-painter.” (Mâle 1913, Preface)

Marchia Kupfer Branching Quote

“According to Kupfer (1993), as Christ rides
the ass followed by his disciples “several youths excitedly
clamor up trees to break off branches, while others unfurl
their mantels at his feet. 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” [emphasis added] (p. 122).”

Panofsky’s “too many mushroom trees to be mushrooms” argument is an argument by appeal to popular prejudice.

Panofsky simply guesses and bets that no one is willing to hold that all mushroom trees are msh.

Why didn’t Wasson publish (admit the existence of) Letter 2? Hey Wasson fanboy/defenders: What is your excuse to excuse Wasson for his DECEPTION of withholding and pretending Letter 2 didn’t exist?

Hey Chris Bennett:

WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE FOR WASSON CENSORING Panofsky’s double-emphatic CITATION OF BRINCKMANN’s “little” BOOK?

This is INEXCUSABLE anti-scholarship by the big phony pseudo-scholar, anti-scholar, Wasson!

You’ve got some explaining to do, who try to whitewash Agent Wasson’s rep. Bow down to Wasson’s chicanery: Do not look at this book and see how FLIMSY it is as an anti-mushroom evidence.

Wasson censored this citation because he knew that this “little” book (Panofsky’s characterization of this, the 1906, lone, 86-page foundation of the HUGE CLAIM “we have thoroughly covered Pilzbaum”), this little book cannot possibly back up Panofsky’s HUGE CLAIM that “we art historians have covered mushroom trees and so we know that they are not mushrooms”.

And where have you art historians “covered” mushroom trees? A single, skinny, 86-page book that contains the word ‘pilzbaum’ only two times. by the time Panof mentioned… why did he have to stoop to recourse to a German-lang book that he couldn’t remember the title of (in Letter 1)? and had to write very ungainly German title by hand before mailing.

Really, is this all you got?!

A single, 1952-1906 = 46-year old, outdated already, “little” 86-page book, in a foreighn language, that only contains ‘Pilzbaum’ 5 times:
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/12/11/brinckmann-mushroom-trees-asymmetrical-branching/#FTS-Pilzbaum-in-Brinckmann

[if memory; search it at Archive.org – I posted my search findings here around 2021. did i act intelligent and put the Search result in my Brinc page???] ans: No, I was stupid, but I found it, Find “pilzbaum” in my page https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/03/09/idea-development-page-13/

And instead, which brings positive evidence (against Panofsky’s wildly prejudiced reading of it) for Pilzbaum meaning msh.

Tree Stylizations in Medieval Paintings (Brinckmann 1906)
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/12/11/brinckmann-mushroom-trees-asymmetrical-branching/

Wasson believed that The Public or those damned incorrigible mycologists who refuse to fall into line, actually *would* be — against Panofsky’s prejudice-based bet — willing and indeed eager, as in, CELEBRATORY, to hold that all the “hundreds” (read: many thousands) of mushroom trees ARE mushrooms.

Panofsky: “I am totally sure that of course it is UNTHINKABLE that all mushroom trees are msh; I *know* no one would be willing to say they are ALL mushrooms.”

That’s the Panofsky prejudice-premised bet, that Wasson rejected.

Wasson opted for censorship, rather than inviting scholarship and two-way critical consideration.

Wasson decided: Do not invite the mycologists and The Public to look into Brinckmann’s book! It will not go your way, Panofsky!

When Wasson heard from Panofsky that there were “hundreds”, and “too many mushroom trees”, Wasson knew: they are all mushrooms.

Wasson knew that the most defensible position was flipped opposite of Panofsky; that the all-or-nothing, proxy deal by Panofsky, Panofsky would lose his all-or-nothing bet, catastrophically, and the world would know, in 1952, that all of the mushroom trees mean mushrooms.

Not only “hundreds”, but many thousands.

How many psilocybin msh were there? As many as anywhere, and Stamets says Cubensis & Lib Cap are global.

Panofsky’s Losing, All-or-Nothing, Psych-Out Gamble, “I Bet No One’s Willing to Hold that All Mushroom Trees Are Mushrooms” – A Bad Bet that Wasson Saw, Blocked, & Censored

How many pilzbaum are there?

Panofsky says “hundreds”.

75 in Eadwine, so I have to say that Panofsky’s “hundreds” actually means MANY THOUSANDS OF MUSHROOM TREES.

Panosfsky: TOO MANY MUSHROOMS! He bets an argument on silent premise “There is no way you guys are willing to assert that all mushroom trees are mushrooms.”

Wasson disagreed here, and reasoned: “Don’t be so sure, stupid art historian — as a mycophile, *I* am willing for all them to be mushrooms, so your assumption that you’re banking on is WRONG and I report that “The Public” – like me; Wasson — in fact ARE willing to argue that ALL mushroom trees are mushrooms.”

Wasson told Panofsky “Your clueless argument from ‘too many mushrooms’ won’t fly, based on your banking everything — gambling betting all-or-nothing all of the Pilzbaum — on the premise “Of course no one is willing to say all Pilzbaum are mushrooms.”

As a bullsht artist, Wasson could easily see that Panofsky’s arguments were GARBAGE AND and would certainly lose.

Wasson told Panofsky “Your BS arguments are loser BS arguments – so I am going to have to censor them.

“I don’t buy your BS flimsy “arguments”, and neither will anyone else.”

Panofsky’s main argument was “THERE ARE TOO MANY MUSHROOMS FOR ANYONE TO HOLD THE POSITION THAT EVERY ONE OF THEM MEANS MUSHROOMS”.

Wasson’s reaction to Panofsky’s argument “There are too many mushrooms, for anyone to be able to defend the position that they are all mushrooms”: “Panosfky, your argument is crap, you’re wrong about what ppl will defend; you will lose, so, I’m going to censor most of your junk argument.

“Your pathetic, unconvincing-BS Letter 2 will never see the light of day.”

“Let ME handle BS’ing the public, you’re not crafty enough, Panofsky.”

This is why I technically categorize them as opposite:
Panofsky = Idiot
Wasson = Liar

History of mushroom cultivation

https://www.google.com/search?q=history+of+mushroom+cultivation

https://rrcultivation.com/blogs/mn/the-history-of-commercial-mushroom-farming
“In Europe, cultivation of wild mushroom species was first recorded much later, in the 1600s. Growers in Paris grew a species known as Agaricus bisporus in fields for 160 years before realizing these mushrooms were happy underground, in caves, excavated tunnels, and quarries. This underground cultivation method has persisted into the modern era. English growers saw France’s success with mushroom cultivation and were drawn to the same species because it required little investment and maintenance.”

“Psychedelics have a long history of use in religious contexts among indigenous peoples, and their use have been associated with spiritual and mystical experience.”

[caution, in this bunk field, the loaded term “mystical” specifically means Walter Stace-conceptualized “mysticism”, per the single, lone, 1960, out-of-print, hard-to-find book (Mysticism and Philosophy) which Erik Davis says is dated [“whose ‘mystical’ character is vouchsafed by scholarship that is over half a century old] and which Charles Stang says to Roland Griffiths fails to match the older data archive of mystics’ reports.]
FOUND IT: https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/01/23/idea-development-page-16/#Davis-Criticizes-Staces-Mysticism

Davis wrote:

“Within the official clinical discourse, at least in America, the key
to individual healing is largely tied to the capacity of psychedelics to trigger
transcendental unitive and ecstatic experiences whose “mystical” character is
vouchsafed, it must be said, by scholarship that is over half a century old.” – Davis.

Petter Johnstad’s Day Trip to Hell continues:
https://akjournals.com/view/journals/2054/5/2/article-p114.xml#B32

“This association may in part [🔍🔬🧐] be explained by the finding that psychedelics sometimes induce experiences of ego dissolution in which users feel a sense of union with other people and with the universe.”

1-time newbies’ beginner “unity” experience, who haven’t discovered the control vortex climax {gate-passage} transformation potential yet.

They are trespassers, in an unstable state, bringing {pollution/ impurity/ unclean} egoic throne-sitting into the creator’s throne room (the chorus covers their eyes).

“Furthermore, some researchers have argued that the therapeutic effects of psychedelics may depend at least in part on their experiential effect, and especially on effects related to ego dissolution and a sense of connectedness.”

ok we said the words ‘ego dissolution’, ‘union’, and ‘connectedness’, so we’ll call that an “explanation”.

Are these magical explainy-sounding words helping – or part of the problem causing incomprehension and bafflement?

Didn’t you forget the magic phrase, “default mode network” and the magic password “neuroplasticity“?

Don’t forget to throw in ‘shadow’ and “surrender to the experience” 👍 (🤷‍♂️ )

Johnstad, Petter (2021). Day trip to hell: A mixed methods study of challenging psychedelic experiences, Journal of Psychedelic Studies5(2), 114-127. doi: https://doi.org/10.1556/2054.2021.00155

“The employment of meditation skills – although not necessarily recognized as such – in order to overcome challenging psychedelic experiences was quite widespread among interviewees. One example was the individual who recognized the powerful and malicious entity he encountered as a representation of his own anger, and was able to overcome his entrapment by this entity through a conscious release of this anger.

“Another participant found himself trapped in a reenactment of his high school years and was unable to open his eyes, yet managed to calm himself and to focus on what the experience had to offer, and others explicitly employed the skills obtained from their everyday meditation practice in order to overcome mental chaos and anxiety during psychedelic trips.

“It seems clear from these narratives that the process of learning how to navigate psychedelic trips involves the development of meditation-type skills, whether or not they are recognized as such.

“Nevertheless, it should be noted that the regression model for the absolute difficulty of a challenging psychedelic experience found that a meditation practice was actually associated with a more difficult experience when controlled for the other variables in the model.

Possible explanations for this unexpected association may be that meditators are able to delve more deeply into the psychedelic experience, and are therefore confronted with more challenges, or perhaps that they are more mindful of their experiences and therefore able to identify a greater range of separate characteristics for them.

This seems like a promising area for further research.

IOW: “Set & Setting” as Cause of Bad Trip Is Bullshiite Myth

Johnstad continues, from Day Trip to Hell:

Factors relating to set and setting were not as important in these studies as we would perhaps expect.

“Set was the most salient of the two, and a number of interviewees pointed to negative aspects of their state of mind or emotions in order to explain the occurrence of their challenging trip.

“In most reports, however, there was no clear link between a negative mind-state before the psychedelic session and the emergence of challenging material during the session.

“Furthermore, interviewees rarely mentioned the setting of their psychedelics use as a factor that might explain their challenging experience.

The survey did not attempt to assess participants’ state of mind prior to the psychedelic session, but the variable for one’s most common social environment during psychedelics use did not reach statistical significance in the regression model.

“It is possible, however, that the difficult experience they were asked to characterize took place in a very different social environment than the typical setting for their psychedelics use.

“This complicates the interpretation of the null finding for the impact from social environment in the regression analyses.”

Extra-Bullshiite Paragraph About CEQ (Is there any other kind?)

Johnstad, Day Trip to Hell:

Baloney sentences:

“However, not all psychedelics users are comfortable with experiencing the dissolution of their ego or self, and this effect can therefore lead to intense fear as users feel they are losing their sanity or are about to die.”

There , I used the word “dissolution”, so you know I know what I’m talking about.

The word ‘dissolution’ halts and blocks comprehension; deploying that word is a substitute for explanation, just like the false, pseudo-explanation:
“snake is #1 myth b/c sheds skin + toxin”. F & F.

The reason ppl experience the threat of losing sanity & have a kind of dying is NOT “because they are not comfy w/ ego dissolution.”

The word ‘because’, there, is a bluff, it is making explainy-sounding noises, without doing any actual explaining.

“Researchers have attempted to measure this effect with a rating scale named Dread of Ego Dissolution (DED), which covers experiences of cognitive impairment, loss of self-control,[false; Studerus PDF never contains the phrase “self control” – CEQ does once or twice?] feelings of disintegration or separation from oneself and the world, and anxiety or panic (Studerus, Gamma, Kometer, & Vollenweider, 2012).

High scores on the DED scale may therefore be understood as an indication of an unpleasant psychedelic drug state, or in other words a “bad trip”.

Piling the BS EXTRA High: Griftiths’ Criticism of DED’s Coverage (“Therefore” He DISCARDS 86% of Its Coverage)

I find his name hard to pronounce, bit of a tongue-twister: GRIFTITHS.

Petter Johnstad’s Day Trip to Hell continues:

“However, Barrett, Bradstreet, Leoutsakos, Johnson, and Griftiths (2016) criticized the DED scale for overlooking some categories of challenging experiences, and constructed a scale based on a questionnaire of psilocybin experiences with seven categories or factors [ENTIRELY OMITTING CONTROL-challenges,; omitting IMPAIRED CONTROL & COGNITION; omitting 18 OF THE 21 (86%) DED EFFECTS]: Grief[🤑$$$$], fear, death, insanity, isolation, physical distress, and ‘paranoia’ [“do not use our bunk ‘paranoia’ pseudo-category” that we patched-on post-analysis; seat-of-the-pants – Griftiths].

FFS HERE’S THEIR BS EXPLANATION: YOUR FEAR IS DUE TO YOUR RESISTANCE TO EGO DISSOLUTION“: (LET’S SEE YOU DEAL W/ THIS; author writes “some ppl just can’t handle ego dissolution”.

Sounds like hubris + pseudo-explanation here.

Baloney manufacturer Petter continues:

“Thus, while one type of challenging trip may result from fearful resistance to the psychedelic effect of ego dissolution, others may be quite different in terms both of their characteristics and their etiology.”

Translation: Unicorns & Rainbows Griftiths has no clue about fear of threat of catastrophic loss of control, so, he simply DISCARDS all such Control effects, and replaces them by the good ol’ ordinary-state, familiar-sounding “Grief psychotherapy” medical industry business model instead.

REDUCTIONISM; dishonest bait & switch:

We can’t solve the unknown, actually Psychedelics-specific problem area, so we’ll just ignore it, suppress & repress it, and mock-“solve” a known area instead (Grief ordinary-state therapy), while pretending we’re solving the psychedelic effect.

These pseudo-explanations, these pat answers, are not even worth discussing. It’s all conventional pseudo-explanation.

We all agree to pretend to be explaining, that which none of us (them) have a fkking clue about.

Wow, found some non-baloney sentences:

“To sum up the state of current knowledge, it seems fair to say that the characteristics, etiology, and consequences of psychedelic “bad trips” remain somewhat unclear.

Answer: The cause of bad trips is not set or setting, but is inherent in the experience of psychedelic eternalism, including analogical psychedelic eternalism with dependent control, demanding/requiring moving from relying on possibilism-thinking to eternalism-thinking, under the fascinating experience of the threat of catastrophic loss of control.

the fascinating experience of the threat of catastrophic loss of control [ETLOC] – test:

the fascinating experience of the threat of catastrophic loss of control

the threat of loss of control [TLOC] – test:

the threat of loss of control

“Fear of death or insanity accompanying states of ego dissolution seems to play a central role, but probably does not account for all difficult experiences.

“Indeed, if we start from the assumption that challenging psychedelic experiences may be as varied as other forms of challenging experiences, even the seven categories identified by Barrett et al. (2016) may be too limited.

“Set and setting are clearly important, but have perhaps been overemphasized.

“Consequences seem largely benign, but perhaps only when the challenging experience is worked with in fruitful ways.

“The purpose of the present study was to expand our understanding of the characteristics of the challenging psychedelic experience, and to test previously established findings about their etiology and consequences.

“Its working hypotheses were that challenging psychedelic experiences have a greater thematic range than what has been established in previous research, that set and setting are important but not decisive, and that respondent-assessed consequences are generally positive.”

Myth of Set & Setting

I’m glad to see dogmas being challenged left & right.

Houot calls into question surrenderism.

People are starting to point out that even with “ideal” set & setting, high dose gives 40% freakouts (Houot cites an earlier Griftiths paper before Griftiths “fixed” the data to magically reframe 39% down to 30%).

Magic!

Just like Griftiths magically just “getting rid of” 18 of 21 = 86% of Dread/Unpleasant experiences.

Rigging the set and setting failed to get rid of bad trips from high-dose, so we’ll just DISCARD THE QUESTIONS ENTIRELY (see CEQ article).

Fixed! 😊👍

Forbidden Words: “Wasson”, “Allegro”, and “Plaincourault” (“Panofsky” is ok especially. re: Letter 2)

Might be surprising, but I don’t want to cite my Wasson/Plainc article – we really need a fresh slate.

I am DONE with Allegro — I was DONE when I finished that article, and extra-Done by 2021.

But Panofsky’s pair of letters warrants treatment eg interesting “branches” paragraph if nothing else (even if all the sentences are crap, this one sentence is crap just like … I should quote Marcia Kupfer per Brown.

“Authentic esotericism is entheogenic esotericism. Entheogens are the key to
esotericism. This is the simplest possible theory of esotericism, and the
most natural, the least contrived and strained. Theories of esotericism that
are not based on entheogens suffer from the problem of grandiose verbiage,
unmet promises and claims, chronic vagueness, excuses for lack of potent and
prompt efficacy, and no ability to deliver the experiences which are talked
about. Drug-free esotericism doesn’t work; it is not effectively ergonomic.”

“A person’s entire worldline of mental constructs is frozen in spacetime like a thread in a marble slab or like a snake frozen in ice — understanding this vividly amounts to the experience of control-death or cyberdeath. That’s the thought that kills the childself.”

This wording is a blow in FAVOR of the “ego death” explanatory construct. Is not the Sacrifice of Isaac depicting threatening to *KILL* the child-thinking based mental model?

Peak-state mature violation/ transgressing the false limits/ disproof/ righteous demonstration of the lower mental model as revealed-impotent and wrong, is pictured as DEATH, traditionally, in every tradition.

Greek: death.

Christian: death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Death

Israelite: death.

If you have a problem with the “ego death” motif, then you have a problem with religious experiencing, and you simply don’t understand why death is in fact a fitting description.

Ego death is more of a death than real death is.

How can or should we think of bodily death?

Compare literal death to the familiar, concrete example of ego death, cybernetic self transgression, non-viable, vulnerable illusion-premised control.

“Stiff wavy snake – frozen worldline”

I explicitly labeled this as a puzzle/topic/theme to develop.

Date, msg # todo find Serpent too

even as late as archive 43, aug 2003, still no development of “snake as worldline”.

archive 55: “One reason the snake is considered wise is that it undulates — wriggles —like visual distortion.” meh. not the main reason. worldline ego death > metaperception.

Msg 3045 is getting closer, per cosmic serpent = heimarmene but fails to say WHY, the reason is: non-branching = heimarmene = eternalism. https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/egodeath-yahoo-group-digest-60/#message3045

“In Mithraism, the lion-ruler’s body is wrapped by the cosmic snake, while his
head is sometimes shown outside the cosmic determinism experiential-ascent
boundary of the zodiac or fixed stars. Similarly with the well-known woodcut
showing the spiritual pilgrim with head (and hand) outside the sphere of the
fixed stars. The body is in the deterministic spacetime prison, but the
spirit — experientially and trans-rationally — is conceptualized as outside
of determinism.

This way, deterministic mystics can affirm cosmic determinism, repudiating
naive freewill, while including our divine ability to transcendently
postulate, for practical reasons of self-control stability, and to describe
higher experiencing, a level of existence outside of the deterministic
universe.”

Post 3206 Is Packed w/ breakthrough, and it is, my initial interpretation of {one leg up} is {one (good, transcendent) leg up} but failed, it’s actually {left (possibilism-thinking) leg up}

I’ll copy body of post into the dup record here:

“This is a highly significant, major scholarly breakthrough about the meaning
of a set of key elements of Mithraic symbolism. I stop to explicitly point
this out because breakthroughs are not uncommon in my posts, but this post
represents a set of some 6 mythic themes becoming clear together fifteen
minutes ago, providing the solution to several, even numerous, mystic-myth
interpretation problems I’ve been working on for a year or so. Although I
have routinized such decryption, the codes are broken sometimes in larger
sets, sometimes more individually.

I can’t get any reading done anymore, because I’m too busy writing up and
developing my explanations. In any case, the paradigm I have defined has
certainly taken flight and proven itself to be a reliable puzzle-cracker. The
key is that these symbols represent classic tangible experiences that are
familiar to visionary-plant users.

Entheos issue 3 page 28 fig 21 shows a raven flying from the mystic sun (pure
consciousness) to Mithras’ gaze/head, like the Holy Spirit dove.
http://www.entheomedia.org/Entheos_Issue_3.htm [Note: all my webpages are updated to .org from .com for Entheos, but the past postings in the archives
still say .com, now broken. Replace .com by .org.]

The cover shows the bull reversed, which implies that the layout artist of the
magazine is inside the cosmos looking up at the sky — the idea is to stand
outside the cosmos, reversing the bull.

Tales of the Constellations: The Myths and Legends of the Night Sky
Marianne McDonald
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0831772778
Large cover of actual book shows painting with extra-cosmic perspective, with
cherubs in this realm.

Reversed constellations automatically implies the entire hyper-astral-ascent
mystic system.

It is commonly said that Mithras looks up as he slays the bull. Actually, he
looks up and behind him — at the sun. Looking back, behind him, toward
the sun of pure consciousness is more important than looking “up”.

The torchbearers to the left and right of Mithras are Cautes and Cautopates —
one holds his torch up, one down. Page 29 states this means “the two psychic
directions of descent and ascent (i.e., Genesis and Apogenesis) sometimes made
more explicit by plunging and ascending lunar and solar chariots”.

However, a better reading is to keep in mind the siblings escaping from the
labyrinth on the flying sheep with golden fleece, with one sibling falling to
their death, while the other lives; or, the man and his child donning wings
and the child falling to his death, while the adult lives, or Lot coming up
from Sodom and looking back, turning his wife into a pillar of salt and
leaving her down behind.

This directly refers to the experience of soaring into heaven as ego, in an
advanced drug trip/initiation session: the egoic mind starts to ascend into
heaven, but then egoic thinking falters and falls downward when control
seizure death occurs.

Only the transcendently reconfigured mind, or mental worldmodel, transcending
rationality and determinism, is possible to ascend to heaven: the ego falls as
satan (leader of the rebellious angels) falling from heaven, or animalistic
prerational/irrational demon falling down to hell, while the newborn
transcendent supernatural magic miracle saint portion of the psyche ascends
on up to heaven.

This is what the raised and lowered torches mean, and what the two crucified
next to Jesus mean: one is the ego, who falls down to Hades during the ascent
to the hypercosmic transcendent heavens, and the other is the spiritual
ultra-transcendent trans-rational part of the psyche, which proceeds,
purified, to ascend to Heaven. The ascending part of the psyche is also
Mithras as opposed to bull, or is Sol, which is one’s spiritual portion of the
psyche, which is like a little sun that’s similar to the ultimate, hypercosmic
sun.

Consciousness pulls out and back from ego structure, killing ego by perceiving
it at the same time as perceiving pure consciousness itself.

“The snake wrapped around the lion-headed figure is the linear worldline of
one’s life: the Fates’ thread. One leg on ground, one leg up isn’t so much a
mushroom allusion
; it is first of all the idea that the transcendent psyche
stands partly on ego, partly on divine magic air. Thus Jesus’ foot elevated,
Mithras’ one foot on the ground, dancing Shiva with one foot on the air, and
so on. One leg up is readable as magical transcendence of
Fate/heimarmene
/cosmic determinism.”

/ end of copy of 2004 post’s body

As I recall, I stuck with that “one foot up” reading for a long time (2004-2015).

It was harmful having this trans-rational type of decoding; it prevented me from having a more basic, sound reading, which I conjectured xmas 2015 and got massive confirmation Nov 2020, and finally applied back to my 2005 article in March-May 2022 eg decoding Eustace window crossing river in terms of {handedness} & {non-branching}.

In Christmas 2015 looking at color Dancing Man I got from Hatsis’ Roasting the Salamander article, I asked:

We have two legs. There are two menta mental worldmodels. We depend on a worldmodel.

Isaac’s left leg is straight in Great Canterbury Psalter – proving my more specific reading… and a simpler, 2-level reading.

Instead of complicated Christian freewill invention of trans-rationality transcending of determinism / heimarmene.

My initial reading of “one leg floating on air” is suitable for later, complicated, Late Antiquity’s marketing competition “our brand is better b/c it transcends heimarmene.”

My later, simpler reading is better, per Early Antiquity: Left leg = possibilism-thinking, right leg = eternalism-thinking.

To cope in the Psilocybin altered state requires depending on eternalism eternalism-thinking and repudiating depending on possibilism-thinking.

Abraham doesn’t repudiate Isaac; Abraham repudiates relying on Isaac-thinking.

Abraham *preserves* Isaac childish mental worldmodel, and continues employing it (A & I walk away unharmed and blessed, cleansed (the ram doesn’t fare as well)).

Per Ken Wilber, healthy successful transcendence continues to employ the lower developmental cognitive structures, without “identifying with them”, as he puts it.

The Top 10 Suppressed & Repressed Dread Effects

The Challenging Experiences Questionnaire needs to add a Control category that contains these items from the main psychedelics psychometrics questionnaires:

These are my personal favorite picks of all the negative effects that Griffiths et al omitted from CEQ.

  • I was afraid to lose my self-control.
  • I had the feeling of being connected to a superior power.
  • I felt like a puppet or marionette.
  • I had the feeling that I no longer had a will of my own.
  • I felt threatened.
  • Sense of being trapped and helpless.
  • It was difficult to control my thoughts.

Items 1-5 are from OAV. Item 6 is from SOCQ. Item 7 is from HRS.

The CEQ omits and suppresses all such Control-challenging items, to replace them by the main, replacement category, Grief, which is preferred by the Big Pharma Psychedelic-Industrial Complex because a “Grief” sub-scale sounds as if it’s business-as-usual, ordinary-state, familiar couch psychotherapy.

The CEQ needs to be recalled and needs to restore the authentic Dread effects items, by adding this Control factor (category; subscale):

OAV Questionnaire Angst/Dread items:

  • OAV: I was afraid to lose my self-control.
  • OAV: I had the feeling of being connected to a superior power.
  • OAV: I felt like a puppet or marionette.
  • OAV: I had the feeling that I no longer had a will of my own.
  • OAV: I felt threatened.

HRS: “It was difficult to control my thoughts.” Didn’t even make it into CEQ’s Initial Item Pool.

Top 10 Dread Questions in the Psychedelics Psychometrics Questionnaires

“Psychedelic Science” = arbitrary = insert head in sand.

To market and sell their ordinary-state based Grief therapy services, CEQ simply summarily, silently DELETES 18 of 21 (86%) of Dittrich’s OAV Angst/Dread (DED) items, without providing any explanation or justification for doing so.

Here is a list of the 18 Dread items which Griffiths simply deletes, and the 3 which they keep.

Let us retrieve the 18 Dread items from the Wouter Hanegraaff’s Rejected wastebasket and take a look at them.

Why is the professional medical “therapy” industry repressing and suppressing these distinctive characteristic psychedelics effects?

Psychedelics “Science”: “We don’t like these disturbing and unfamiliar reported negative psychedelics effects, so we’ll just replace them by familiar-sounding couch-psychotherapy effects instead.”

Why were 3 items kept? What’s the nature of the retained Dread items (3/21 = 14%)?

Repress, suppress, and throw the shadow dragon monster into the wastebasket and declare the Dread shadow dragon monster — by fiat, with the authority of the medical industry — to be replaced by Grief therapy services.

  • 5D-ASC 63. I had the feeling something horrible would happen. — ok this is a pretty juicy good one, but vague (which enables Griftiths to re-frame and re-market this distinctive psychedelic effect as if it’s a familiar ordinary-state couch-psychotherapy ailment; to reduce it from mania-panic-madness altered-state Fear, to a mere ordinary-state Fear).
  • 5D-ASC 19. I was afraid that the state I was in would last forever. Toothless, no substance; vague, indirect.
  • 5D-ASC 44. I felt isolated from everything and everyone. [dup, and indirect, doesn’t say why/how this is terrifying]

Supports the claim of the book “What really happened in the Garden of Eden” that we need to read Eden Genesis WITHOUT projecting/importing a heavy-handed reading, “interpolating”? “introjecting”? find “fallacies of textual interpretation” – seems relevant: http://www.intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=77775 – “reading into” , “eisegesis“, ‘isogesis’ -that article seems good & relevant here.

possibilism-thinking = bad = sin, accursed, pollution, impurity, offense, diseased, malfunctioning, unstable, not viable, collapsing, perishable, subject to death of the viable control agent

eternalism-thinking = good = purity, blessedness, clean, health, proper, properly functioning, viable, imperishable.

Ethnopharmacologic search for psychoactive drugs

“Efron’s preface alludes to issues still important and unresolved in the study of psychedelics such as

the origins of humans’ psychotropic plant use and

the identity of the psychoactive plants referred to in the Bible.

Efron’s naivety [?]is evident however, where

he wonders if this Biblical drug use “brought happiness and comfort, or new problems, aggravations, and unhappiness” (p. ix). “

“Apparently Efron’s memory of Sunday school teachings had faded”

MW tries to insult Efron, and it massively backfires.

Michael Winkelman means to argue “You don’t even have a child’s Sunday School knowledge”.

Michael Winkelman ends up arguing “We should limit ourselves to infantile thinking to perpetuate Drug Prohibition“. And “we should read into the Eden story the Prohibitionism that we’re taught in Sunday school.”

” as Genesis clearly[red flag word!] tells us that the gods were definitely[red flag word!] displeased with humans taking the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil,

[CITATION NEEDED! THESE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF GENESIS, BUT THE WORDS OF WINKELMAN, which is dangerous, to not back up your assertions by texts.

eg which translations are you going by, in your claims of what Genesis allegedly says? if the text is so “clear and definite” why don’t you bother telling us which translations and why we are FORCED to project straightforward modern drug prohibition onto the Eden passage?]

[Winkelman, what is your rebuttal to the book “What Really Happened in the Garden of Eden“?]

“and

fearing that humans would also use this knowledge to partake of the Tree of Immortality, the gods banished Adam and Eve from an idyllic Eden and sent them to toil and suffer in the outside world.”

Winkelman: Why did God say you can eat from all the trees including the tree of immortality (but not the tree of knowing good and bad because Adam would die that day). What’s your Sunday-school level of theology / explanation reading here?

If God is “fearing that humans would … partake of the Tree of Immortality”, then how come God said Adam could eat from the tree of immortality as part of “all trees” except knowledge of good & bad?

Sunday school gives a simplistic reading of a non-simplistic text.

Typical entheogen scholar Winkelman gives a poor and un-strategic foundation for the repeal of Psilocybin Prohibition.

Entheogen Scholars Are Fully Invested in the Crybaby Short-Sighted Defeatist Narrative that God Supports Drug Prohibition

speak on no ego death , entheogen scholarship is addicted to defeat / addicted to the self-harming narrative Big Bad Genesis Prohibition – reading modern Drug Prohibition into Genesis, MW does this to an extreme. “By applying our Sunday School level of theology to Genesis, we see that God Supports Drug Prohibition”

oh wow, what I called a “funnel hat” is called a “Jewish hat”.

Hanegraaff crowd has a thing or three to say about “magician” and “magic” and “theurgy”. Now that this is uploaded to gallery what is its filename at WordPress? ans:
https://egodeaththeory.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/asp-img100487.jpg – it preserved the .jpg, didn’t mess w filesize? d/k if filesize got reduced — probably not.

check (check failed): dl it: agh garbage format: asp-img100487-test-dl-from-gallery.webp, only 200 K not 800 K now.

The asp is a serpent that avoids enchantment by pressing one ear against the ground and plugging the other ear with its tail. The asp is often depicted with wings. Unusually, the man appears to be hitting the asp with a stick, and the asp is breathing fire. The man, presumably a magician or sorcerer, is wearing what was commonly called a “Jewish hat”.

Dissolve Hatsis’ articles & arg’n. His contributions are merely grist for the mill – not structured serious effective arg’n worth responding to.

I’ll cite him, but I will answer his questions indirectly by presenting the successful expl’y fwk/ paradigm/ conceptual vocab/ lexicon. aAnd mode/manner of reading art motifs.

Not worth engaging his misguided framings of questions, “secret cult”, WTF are you even blathering/ fabricating.

Dumb Christians vs. dumb atheists, count me out of that unprofitable mis-framed dispute or pseudo-debate.

Which side do you advocate: junk religion, junk science, or junk eso’m?

Shall we engage the madman on a point-by-point basis according to the way he’s mis-framed everything?

It’s not my job to untangle the Gordian knot that Panofsky Hastsis has tied himself up in.

Hatsis dropped his appendixes of his Roasting the Salamander article, he dropped his questions (Archive.org solid 2013 .pdf vs. gimmicky “2017” HTML page) – corrob’ing that they are not worth asking and not worth answering AS POSED.

Shut up and show how it’s done successfully, directly.

“The asp is a serpent that avoids the enchantment of music by pressing one ear against the ground and plugging the other ear with its tail. In some versions the asp guards a tree that drips balm; to get the balm men must first put the asp to sleep by playing or singing to it. Another version holds that the asp has a precious stone called a carbuncle in its head, and the enchanter must say certain words to the asp to obtain the stone.”

“For the illustration of the asp in British Library, Harley MS 4751, folio 61r, the scroll the enchanter is reading from has writing on it. The writing says Super aspidem et basiliscum amb.; the full quote is Super aspidem et basiliscum ambulabis, et conculcabis leonem et draconem (Upon the asp and basilisk shalt thou tread, and thou shalt trample upon the lion and dragon). This is from the Christian bible, Psalm 91, verse 13.”

Good thing they specified “the Christian bible”; else I would have assumed the Jewish bible, or the Satanic bible.

Post at Cyberdisciple’s Site Feb. 18, 2023

start of my post:

Would-Be Historian Hatsis Disvalues His Own Articles’ Publication Dates and Their Content

Cyberdisciple wrote:

“Hatsis … articles … written and originally posted more like 2013 at an earlier version of his site”:

Here’s proof of that:

August 18, 2013 – the earliest Archive snapshot of Hatsis’ original domain, ArsPsychedelia.com:

https://web.archive.org/web/20130818041600/http://arspsychedelia.com/

Thomas Hatsis’ home page on August 18, 2013 lists the following three articles, proving that these three articles were published no later than 2013:

* Roasting the Salamander: Mushroom Cult Theorists Vs. Critical Historical Inquiry (.pdf, includes the appendixes, note original title)

* Mushrooms in Mommy Fortuna’s Midnight Carnival

* The Secret Cult of the Radish

Why is the would-be historian Hatsis so unscholarly and careless regarding the publishing dates of these articles?

As a theorist/scholar whose work overlaps with entheogen scholarship, this has been a major problem for me when trying to cite Hatsis’ articles: I can’t write “Hatsis 2017”, because I posted about his articles in 2015! –

Subject: Entheogen theory of myth is half-correct
December 24, 2015
https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/egodeath-yahoo-group-digest-144/

Do I have to explain to Hatsis the would-be historian why accurate dates are so important for contributing to and building-up the scholarly corpus?

Hatsis commits an off-by-4 error at his newer sites, claiming that his 2013 articles are 2017.

You might suggest: Maybe he made such improvements to the Salamander article that a new edition date was needed?

Nope; the opposite: his 2017 article is corrupted and incomplete and broken; it mentions “see appendix”, but I have looked as hard as I can: the appendixes were dropped (in careless or hasty fashion).

Even in *my* strategic selective sloppiness, that is not a careless treatment that I would do with my publication-quality articles – dropping the end matter (while still saying to see it), while incrementing the publishing date by four years for no reason.

Hatsis manifestly disrespects his own articles.

Hatsis’ “2017” webpage’s dim reflection of the Salamander article is not the article; his 2017 webpage that’s presented as the article is not usable for historical scholarship and discussion.

To reply to his questions in the Appendix, you have to get — and cite and link to — the archived 2013 .pdf instead, using its correct, proper, original title.

Why do his newer domains omit the substantive appendixes of the Salamander article? Strange.

The Hellenistic/Christian Psilocybin Eternalism Theory

In that Egodeath Yahoo Group thread that day, where I first wrote about Hatsis’ articles in 2015,
Subject: Re: Entheogen theory of myth is half-correct
https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/egodeath-yahoo-group-digest-144/

I wrote:

“I am not a Christian Mushroom Cult theorist.

I am a Christian Mushroom Eternalism theorist.”

(More broadly: unlike Brown and Hatsis, I co-treat Hellenistic & Christian, cross-mapping them.)

“A bestiary is a book of myth. Therefore it is a book of religious mythology. Therefore it is a book of metaphors describing entheogen-revealed Eternalism.”

Since Wouter Hanegraaff in his 2012 keynote article has unleashed upon the world his _non-drug entheogens_ (I sure hope people use them responsibly!) — his “entheogenic practices in the wide sense” — I am inconvenienced by having to hyper-specify:

… Therefore this Medieval bestiary is a book of analogies describing Psilocybin-revealed Eternalism.

I’ve Conversed with Entheogen Scholars

You can generally assume that I have conversed with entheogen scholars.

Eve covers branching legs with non-branching mushroom cap

In the morphology of branching-message mushroom trees, the cap (like trunk & like midpoint of stem/branch) is evidently considered & treated as a non-branching part of the tree.

Evidence eg:

  • Depicting branching is avoided in caps of Pilzbaum.
  • Salamander in Dancing Man image touches cap w/ right paw, tail touches trunk, avoids touching branching portions of tree.

Weirdest Insight re: Plaincourault Fresco

Given: Cap is considered non-branching in branching-message mushroom trees morphology (eg depicting branching is avoided in caps), Eve covers branching legs with non-branching mushroom cap. [1:17 a.m. February 18, 2023] while looking at Chris Bennett’s article https://www.cannabisculture.com/content/2021/08/05/__trashed/

A good demonstration of why image crops are better than images:

I was looking at this picture in Bennett’s article:
https://www.cannabisculture.com/content/2021/08/05/__trashed/

It was because the picture was cropped, that helped me realize and see that the cap is a non-branching element of branching-message mushroom trees that is over her branching legs.

{Eve} = the mind in the altered-state transformation process.

{ribs} = revealed underlying eternalism that’s made perceptible by Psilocybin.

Compare Cranache’s painting Eve Tempted by the Serpent, which layers a branch over Eve’s branching legs over and stag’s branching antlers (while Eve holds tree branch above w/ left hand).

What page of mine is proper to have main copyable copy of that painting?

The Back-and-Forth Debate on Totally No Mushrooms (🍄) in Any Christian Art EVAR

I don’t like to think of myself as servile participant in someone else’s stupid clueless “debate” which is never a proper anyway — THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY “DEBATE” PROPERLY when it comes to this taboo irrational topic.

Ruck made significant errors.

Brown made significant errors.

Irvin made significant errors.

Hatsis made significant errors.

The closest to an error I made is not recognizing {handedness} & {non-branching} motifs in my 2006 main article until the 2-month period notably starting March 21, 2022, and almost same, my slowness of applying my Nov. 2020 decoding of Eadwine’s initiation image back to my Dec. 2015 coverage of Dancing Man image and to my 2006 main article.

I made one error that is shifted onto Brown: I read aloud their mis-transcription of Panofsky as if he wrote “the completed project” (ie the Plaincourault fresco) when he actually wrote “the completed product” (ie the alleged “prototypes”).

I made so many errors when speaking, during Egodeath Mystery Show, that a regular segment was dedicated to correcting the misstatements from the previous show.

I can’t rattle off a list of my mistakes, I’d have to pull it together – simply search “errata” here.

Overall, a hallmark of the Egodeath theory including the mytheme theory is, a series of passing confirmatory test after test.

All signs are Green Light, so progress has continued apace.

eg Golden Munich Psalter: again we have together, the trio:
{mushroom, handedness, & non-branching}.

eg: Golden Ps.: Enoch lifted up; Tree of Knowledge, Entry into Jerusalem. All of them with an artificial-messaging diagrammatic quality:

  • Eve emphatically right heel on column base,
  • duplicated lifted mushroom hem twice above the short non-branching trees;
  • youth emphatically standing on right foot on cut branch and bent left leg on the main branching part of the branching-message mushroom tree touching the {gate} with ppl coming through with {bent left leg}.

It doesn’t get more definitive & explicit than this.

You couldn’t ask for more direct confirmation of the Theory of Psilocybin Eternalism, from diagrammatic non-naturalistic imagery.

Like Brown hitting you on the head 3 times with a highlighted Marcia Kupfer (fresco book author) quote about “youths clamoring up trees cutting branches”.

Actually, the image is a perfect example of standard esoteric motifs of the era:

1) Mushroom imagery together with 2) handedness motifs and 3) non-branching motifs.

Hatsis’ PDF’s image exactly matches the online Bod lib. Now I know where Hatsis got his image: from online Bodleian, then he cropped it (he also shows full page in PDF). I now made my own image, guess it’s time to squander server space, so I don’t have to use his crop although his crop is perfect.

Hatsis domains:

  1. ars psychedelia .com
  2. psychedelic witch .com
  3. ” historian

Look again at Hatsis’ specious reasoning. Here I give hatsis credit by calling his argument “speciious”. Unlike some of his prattling, this argument at least gives … succeeds at giving the “initial impression” of merit:

Hatsis wrote (condensed by Cybermonk):

“Irvin contends that the salamander is a symbol of Amanita.

“But Amanita is emphatically not what the artist meant to represent.

The author wrote that the poison from salamanders turns fruit poisonous.

“Mushrooms are known to be poisonous, even without salamander venom.

“Therefore, this tree cannot be a mushroom.

“Also, the text calls the plant a “tree.”

Notice the alleged witch’s total lack of any subtlety about the word ‘poison’, contrast Dale Pendell’s title “The Poison Path”.

And Hatsis is an expert in literally poisonous & visionary psychoactive Scopalamine.

This is selective denseness and brittleness (crudeness) of interpretation on Hastsis’ part.

When it suits his biased argument, Hatsis is subtle and smart.

When it suits his biased argument, Hatsis is dense and stupid.

When it benefits his prejudiced argument, he is all too eager to be stupid and brittly pretend (when he fully knows is wrong), that a poison is simply a poison.

He cannot believe his own CONTRIVED arguments.

Again in more detail:

“Irvin contends: “[t]he salamander is as [sic] a symbol of the Amanita muscaria,”13 but that is emphatically not what the artist meant to represent.”

ON WHAT BASIS CAN WE LEAP AWAY FROM THE ART TO INSTEAD RELY OUR INTERPRETATION ON THE TEXT WHICH ALLEGEDLY PRETENDS TO/ CLAIMS TO “EXPLAIN” THE ART?

WHAT ABOUT ESOTERIC, “SECRET”, “ALCHEMICAL” , OR MULTI-VALENT IN GENERAL?

HOW *NOT* TO INTERPRET ART, BY THOMAS HATSIS, FAILED “PSYCHEDELIC WITCH”, illiterate at esoteric (= Psilocybin altered-state) {handedness} & {non-branching} imagery.

Hatsis continues his specious reasoning:

The author of MS. Bodl. 602 wrote rather clearly that the poison from salamanders was so strong that if it crept into a fruit-bearing tree the once palatable fruit turned poisonous.

“Since mushrooms were known poisons since antiquity, requiring no infiltration by salamander venom, the tree in fol. 027v most emphatically cannot be a mushroom; the text even calls the plant a “tree.”

The text is correct, it IS a tree; specifically, a {branching-message mushroom tree}, typically Psilocybin not Amanita.

To help recognize the motif of {branching-message mushroom tree}: they are typically accompanied by:

  • {handedness} (say, for instance, {standing on right leg}).
  • {non-branching} (say for instance, {right foot touching cut trunk}).

List of false premises & suppositions underpinning Hatsis’ specious argument “the artist meant [bc] the text clearly states”:

1) In [the special case of mushroom] art imagery [only], an item in art can only have one meaning, and it is not the mushroom meaning; it’s always the non-mushroom meaning.

2) There is no reason why mushroom imagery in religious art would mean mushrooms.

Let me explicitly spell out the underlying presuppositions that you have to swallow, if you nod along to the merit of Hatsis’ manner of argumentation (or Panofsky’s).

An anti-mushroom, anti-esotericism interpretation.

Notice the presuppositions and premises that Hatsis silently rushes past, here: He expects us to follow him down his path of failure & folly, by quickly silently reasoning with him:

FALLACY: To know what an art work means, we are to ignore the art, leave the art, and rely instead on the accompanying text.

What if the text misleads?

What if the rules employed in that art are not the rules that are employed by that text?

The text is misleading to the foolish, which = Hatsis.

The rules employed in that art are not the rules that are employed by that text. Proof:

Knowing the textual backstory of Eustace crossing the river will accomplish absolutely NOTHING for you, in interpreting the {branching-message mushroom trees} and {handedness} in the Eustace window (any more than you’re blocked from interpreting the “Dionysus’ Victory Procession” mosiac because you’re missing what species of branch Ariadne holds):

I believe I am the Web source of this image. I think I photographed this in a book (The Gothic Image) in a bookstore and then later I did image processing to increase the contrast, and uploaded it before the image processing to Egodeath.com gallery in 2004-2006 used in support of my 2006 Plaincourulat artice. http://egodeath.com/christianmushroomtrees.htm#_Toc134497560

Suppose I provide you with accompanying text:

Placidas Eustace sons

https://pemptousia.com/author/st-nicodemus-haghiorite/

Saint Nikodimos the Athonite wrote, of Placidas:

“he, his wife and children left all their possessions and their homeland. … Both his children were taken by wild animals as they were crossing a river. Despite this, through Divine Providence, the wife and children were kept safe and sound. … On the way back to Rome after the war, by the dispensation of our ingenious God, he found his wife and children again and recognized them.”

Ok, now that you have the textual backstory, how useful is that text for interpreting the morphology in this image of Eustace crossing the river and a son being carried off by a lion?

Answer: ZERO HELP, and really ZERO RELEVANCE.

I think I am the Web source of this image. I think I photographed this in a book (The Gothic Image) in a bookstore and then later I did image processing to increase the contrast, and uploaded it before the image processing to Egodeath.com gallery in 2004-2006 used in support of my 2006 Plaincourulat artice. http://egodeath.com/christianmushroomtrees.htm#_Toc134497560

Here is some corrobroation test: try taking my low-res from Plainc article gallery, and on Windows, use Paint to increase the contrast. Can you derive my hi-contrast from my low-contrast photo or scan? I could also dig through my ~2005 photo archives from my bookstore trip … in fact I DO KNOW THAT I *do* know that *other* images on that gallery page definitely were photo’d by me in that bookstore on that trip. Memories are coming together.

I remember the scenario: I had a stack of books in a red handbasket in Snodfart’s Junior Academy bookstore, and that included I believe, The Gothic Image, and I photo’d the book, low contrast, later in some of my pages I put the hi-contrast, that explains why some Egodeath.com pages have lo-res, low constrast; high res / low contrast, and high res/ high contrast which you see carrierd fwd here at WordPress. That fits. And it’s in the same gallery as other photos that I *know* I’m the Web source for. Ok THAT’S IT I AM TAKING CREDIT. ADDING Adding to all instances of the picture, now… my taking of credit.

And I used it also in my 2006 main article – low or high contrast? High when you click: http://egodeath.com/images/egodeatharticle/HighRes/ChartresEustaceMushroom_HiRes.jpg

Wow, I’m surprised what lossy compression I used for the in-article version; you have to click the image to get the spectacular hi-res, that I think I provided via increasing the contrast.

OBJECTION to Hatsis: Are we to IGNORE the art, and ONLY consider the TEXT?

This is like asking John Lennon if the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds means ergot, vs. our directly interpreting the lyrics and cultural context in themselves.

Is there a conflict of interest, or some pattern where the text deliberately withholds the intended meaning of the pictures?

This is esoteric art, even if Hatsis mocks the idea that this is “alchemical secrecy”.

I do not employ the word/framework of “secrecy” (because that is the enemy; part of the problem).

Footnotes on Hatsis’ PDF’s page:

12 See Appendix 1 for picture of text, and full English translation.
13 Irvin (2008), pg. 115.

oh wow this PDF is way better than the new abrdiged Hatsis article! Is there a date? He includes the full apx which is only (it seems ) MENTIONED in new article but is omitted there (inconss’ly).

~APPENDIX 1~
FULL LATIN TEXT FROM MS. BODL. 602, FOL. 027V

” — full pic of entire page! How did he get that? Hyped colors.

Why bother: b/c I needed to know whether to give Hatsis credit. Answer: No.

His article is valuable, despite his awfulness at Theory/ interp’n/ arg’n.

Hatsis engages (badly) with important topics presented by Bennett, Irvin, Rush, and Hatsis engages vigorously.

YMMV, just like every book.

Even Browns’ 2016 book has errors, sometimes obscured by unclarity eg they never explicitly say “Walburga doesn’t mean mushrooms” – they IMPLY it , across 5 sentences, but I couldn’t 100% pin them down making a definitive explicit false statement, and the Browns’ dancing-around the topic is even harder to pin down in the 2019 article.

They IMPLY that they are going to assert that the tapestry doesn’t mean Amanita – but the guardian angel of good sense in 2019 stops the Browns well before they make such a pronouncement of folly explicitly.

Browns’ 2019 article on the topic of the tapestry is a good case of: ignore the text & narrative; just look at their gallery and LET THE ART DO THE TALKING.

Brown the art presenter has a disagreement with Brown the text/narrative author. Same w/ Allegro, Rush, Ruck.

Even Hatsis’ articles backfire: Here are 38 images of mushrooms in Christian/dom art, and my totally convincing dumb arguments about why “this cannot possibly be msh, b/c the accompanying text says its an arbor“:

Hatsis Gallery of Mushroom Imagery in Christian Art

Other error I wrote about at new Saint Martin page, “I see a cap has been painted over or somehow obscured.”

WUT – you who describe John Rush as too much seeing mushrooms everywhere, you now have see-through-the-paint superpower? X-Ray Vision Julie.

I can even see mushrooms that have been painted over. But you too much see mushrooms everywhere, like in the right hand of Creator of Plants in Great Canterbury Psalter.

Julie “X-Ray Vision” Brown

Same as Julie “X-Ray Vision” Brown crossed w/ John Rush, I am strictly reporting what I see: I see that a mushroom in His hand has been painted over or somehow obscured:

I gotta keep up with the new leaders of the Ardent Advocates, Brown & Brown (& Brown).

Hatsis has a good crop & filename:

I like tight image crops — the tighter, the better, to focus attention.

eg see my detail crops I collected today [February 16, 2023] in one page: https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/04/13/salamander-mushroom-tree-right-side-cut/

My filename is very accurate:

Hatsis says we need to ignore the mushroom imagery and read the plain, direct text instead.

The Hatsis Theory of Art Interpretation: Text Counts for Everything, and Imagery Counts for Nothing

Hatsis banks everything, as always, exclusively on text.

Text counts for everything, and imagery counts for nothing – this is the Hatsis gimmick that’s required, to protect art from the yucky mushrooms which he so detests.

But no one can read Latin (certainly not the illiterate, amateur, web blog scholars who read the Egodeath theory), but everyone can read imagery.

Per Hatsis, if I draw a mushroom and then put text that says “this is not a mushroom”, then you KNOW — because of my text — that my mushroom imagery that I drew does not mean mushrooms – because my text says as much.

xxxxxxxxx

Should pic link to my page about the image, or link to Bod site??

Hatsis embarrassed Ruck, and Ruck should be embarrassed bc Hatsis is right: Ruck DOES go WAY too far with his Amanita OBSESSION. Hatsis is right – but overcorrects. Ruck made a huge mistake asserting strongly/definitly (I don’t have Irvin book) that this image has red & white cap. Ruck wqas DEAD WRONG – Hatsis is right about *that*, there.

(I don’t have Irvin’s book to see Ruck making this HUGE error, would be like claiming — on the order of a huge embarrassing mistake – like saying Walburga tapestry can’t be Amanita b/c shows serrationsl

I couldn’t stomach any more Wasson, or Irvin re: Wasson, aftre my 64-page Wasson article in 2006, then Irvin book 2008 – pass.

Now I have to buy Irvin’s new book on Psil in Americas, and his color Holy Mushroom… as the Wasson Panofsky expert I can’t engage Hatsis’ critique of Irvin, b/c Hatsis has read Irvin’s book, and even Julie Brown held a photograph of Wablurra up to the light (with a 500-page Irvin book attached to it btw).

I can’t handle any more books! I have too damn many! I don’t even know what books I have — I have all of them!

Heading

It sure would have helped me if Hatsis had given the library link, I don’t think his article does – nope, not findable if hidden there.

He calls me odd generic insults, strange mischaracterizations and insults “online web blogger” — PROJECTION obviously; eg his article has no effective References section! Stupid popups, only. Unhelpful, unprofessional.

The Doctrine of Artist Responsibility (for Mushroom Imagery)

Specifically for Mushroom Imagery – No Special Treatment to “Shield” and “Protect” Artists

I developed this idea during the beginning of the Egodeath Mystery Show around Feb. 2021, before the concept of the Egodeath Mystery Show podcast.

Given the premise that artists are intelligent, are competent at communication, and possess choice and intentionality, it follows that if the artist didn’t want to convey a mushroom impression, then the artist would not have drawn mushroom imagery.

Therefore, by definition, mushroom imagery in art must mean mushrooms, or the artist would not have drawn it. QED.

This is independent of surrounding text that makes claims about the image.

You can’t brazenly paint mushroom-looking imagery, and then claim “I am so stupid, I had NO IDEA that you would interpret it as mushrooms. I am shocked, SHOCKED that anyone would get a mushroom impression from my Pilzbaum, my branching-message mushroom trees.”

No one is buying that b.s. done on behalf of “protecting medieval artists from mushrooms”, any more than you ask John Lennon is the song Lucy in the Sky w Diam about ergot?

“No, no no not at all, totally not.”

Right, sure, no conflict of interest here.

It is a lie and an insult to artists and everyone, to claim that mushroom trees “don’t mean mushrooms”.

My drawing of a pipe does not mean a pipe, and I am SHOCKED and resentful that you would claim that my pipe-looking painting gives you the impression that I intentionally drew a pipe.

Rene Magritte This is not a pipe
x https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images

This bull shiite put-on gaslighting would not fly for an instant, on any other topic than mushroom imagery in art.

It’s special pleading to “protect” art from meaning mushrooms. Panofsky’s bunk arg’n move simply merely requires calling artists idiots with no intentionality, no intelligence, no responsibility, and no choice — but ONLY re: this particular “special topic”, “the msurhoom exception”.

Panofsky says that artists are smart, they possess intentionality, intelligence, awareness, communication skills, and choice — EXCEPT for the special case of mushroom trees.

In that case, only, artists are idiots, lacking intentionality, unintelligent, have no awareness, have poor and ineffective communication skills, and lack choice.

But at least they are innocent of being tainted by intentional mushroom depictions.

no responsibility, and no choice

The Hoffman Uncertainty Principle: We can only know what a person publicly claims to believe, not what they actually believe.

That Panofskyan insanity and insult of artists to “protect” and “shield” them from intending mushrooms, doesn’t fly; it is manifest irrationality and self-contradiction, special pleading that you’d NEVER do for any topic other than mushrooms.

The artists are already fully guilty and culpable, the moment that they choose to draw mushroom-looking imagery – there is no “saving” the artists from what they freely chose to do, in full possession of intentionality and awareness and choice.

Artists, if you don’t want to cause art historians to describe your imagery as “mushroom trees”, then stop producing mushroom-looking imagery.

Let us not “protect” artists from mushrooms by insulting the artists, robbing them of intentionality, awareness, and choice, as Panofsky selectively does (flipping one way, then the other) when doing so supports his prejudiced, anti-mushroom, committed-skeptic position.

The alternative is to assert that artists are stupid, have no intentionality, and are inept at communication (like Panofsky does, selectively when required to prop up his anti-mushroom bias — even though he then has to assert that artists are so free and intentional, that they paint from nature when they want.

Totally self-contradictory & irrational, because of anti-mushroom bias.

Hatsis’ argumentation is too inane to waste time on. He writes “the tree in folio 027v most emphatically cannot be a mushroom”.

IDGAF what the stupid text says, the John Rush theory is correct: all esoteric art means Psilocybin mushrooom peak ultimate final effects ie psychedelic eternalism.

If the artist *chooses* to conveys/ delivers a mushroom impression (do not insult artists, saying “they slavishly stupidly follow prototypes” and “the art world came to accept the randomly distorted pines”), then the artist KNOWS that, and no excusing it away.

My phrase of aorunf around Feb. 2021: my DOCTRINE OF ARTIST RESPONSIBILITY.

If you depict an image that forces the impression of “mushroom” then BY DEFINITION, NO EXCUSES, YOU MEAN MUSHROOMS.

The alternatives are insane:

“Although I drew a mushroom impression image, I had no idea even though I fully was cognizant that it looks like a mushroom” — this is sheer self-contradiction.

This law applies to artists: If you didn’t want to transmit a mushroom impression, then you shouldn’t have painted mushroom looking imagery.

You painted mushroom-looking imagery, and therefore BY DEFINITION your art means mushrooms.

No lame excuses, they are self-contradictory and highly insulting to artists and to the intelligece of the unbiased.

“The artist was such a total idiot and a failure, they drew a mushroom imagery without realizing it.”

This is the insanity you have to propose to try to weasel & wiggle your way out to shield the artist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Treachery_of_Images

This is not a mushroom:
https://www.google.com/search?q=cubensis&tbm=isch
I had NO IDEA that search gives the viewer a mushroom impression.

I am innocent!

I am just infinitely stupid, and lack intentionality – that’s my defense as a pilzbaum artist.

I’m just following the prototypes! I’m helpless.

It wasn’t my choice; it was “the art world” made me do it (Panofsky says so himself; “the art world came to accept the garbled, sloppy, distorted, f’ed-up prototypes, despite them randomly, accidentally coming to look exactly like mushrooms with branching [and cut branches -mh] so much that astute art historians choose to characterize them as “mushroom trees”.

But they totally can’t mean mushrooms, b/c branches.

INSANE corrective epicycles of special pleading.

Hatsis Data on Dancing Man Image: Can’t Tell Whether to Credit Hatsis for Good Color Image, Where Did He Get It??

Hatsis wrote:

“What MS. Bodl. 602 Actually Says
I cannot be sure, but it seems that Irvin’s popular notions were influenced by another writer – Chris Bennett – whose Green Gold the Tree of Life: Marijuana in Magic and Religion (1995) is the second earliest reprinting of the MS. Bodl. 602 image I could find, coming just a few years after Fred Gettings’ Visions of the Occult (1987)17.
“With two sources for this picture available, Irvin seems to want us to believe that he visited the Bodleian Library, as he doesn’t cite Bennett or Gettings as a source (though Ruck does). It also probably explains why neither Ruck nor Irvin has the correct century; Bennett’s date is erroneous, as is Gettings’, the latter of which seems to be the origin of the misdating.”

Scholarship Proceeds back and forth

i don’t like that framing – because my god con good conclusions are NOT derived by following in any way the trajectory from Geerrald (get name from Hatsis original Roasing Salamander article) to Bennett to Samorini to Irvin to Hatsis … but in a real sense, Christmas 2015 I DID “get dancing man image from Hatiss” but I did NOT get my INTERP of Dancing Man from Hatsis. Yes, these scholars handled it before me.

Where is my list of scholars handling Dancing Man? PRoper name: Bod Ms 602 Salamander…. key word, “salamander”. Bod. S But I like putting focus on Dancing Man instaed of Salamander, focus on Dancing Man Cut Trunk image. Others call it Sal…. Irvin does NOT call it “bestiary”, that’s one of Hatsis’ criticisms of Irvin’s treatement. GOT to have short names! The moment I say “Salamander”, we’re right back regressed to Irvin. What does Samo article call it?

Samo writes: “This very picture, which we might consider an alchemical puzzle, parts of which we are trying to uncover, includes other interesting symbols.”

url https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/mushroom-trees-in-christian-art-samorini/

I agree, against Hatsis: Library categs this document as “bestiary” not “alchemical”, better word is “alchemical-like esotericism in a bestiary”. We must break away

Bennett wrote “As with a lot of current books that suggest a role for psychedelic mushrooms in history, the Brown’s build on the shaky ground of Wasson and Allegro.” https://www.cannabisculture.com/content/2021/08/05/__trashed/

Bennett continues:

“Even bigger issues arise when you look at Allegro’s linguistic case for Jesus being a mushroom, which, thankfully, the Brown’s did not endorse.

“To the Brown’s credit, they do not count on Allegro for his philological expertise, and they actually reject “Allegro’s radical interpretation of the Old and New Testaments, which concludes that the Jesus of the Gospels did not exist but was rather a metaphor, a code name, for the Amanita muscaria mushroom”.”

I saw Hatsis striking a strategic neutral stance, “for those who believe he existed, Jesus …” Was that in his PDF of Salamander, I think it was – no, not finding it there: try his “#1 allegro fan” post. It’s there: https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/18/reading-allegro-again-hatsis-2015/

“But that simply wasn’t who Jesus was. In our modern popular culture, Jesus (for those who think he existed in history), is imagined as taking on all the attributes of a hippy, if not a very liberal democrat.”

Breaking Away Esotericism from “Secret Alchemy” Framing

So much is a matter fo FRAMING. Even Brown (pers. corr.) hits us with a clumsy heavy heand handed FRAMING. quote him: “How … If secret elite rites, ” – we see here the truth of Hatsis’ framing, “You guys are pushing Secret Christian Mushroom Cult” and Brown DOES fall into the framing, the Allegro/Hatsis framing , of “Secret Christian Mushroom Cult”.

Framing: Esoteric Morphology vs. “Secret Alchemy Elite Christian Mushroom Cult”

All entheogen scholars agree; Ruck, Irvin, Allegro, Rush, Hatsis

Ruck: “Secret Alchemy Elite Christian Mushroom Cult”

Irvin: “Secret Alchemy Elite Christian Mushroom Cult”

Rush: “Secret Alchemy Elite Christian Mushroom Cult”

Allegro: “Secret Alchemy Elite Christian Mushroom Cult”

Hatsis 2013: “Secret Alchemy Elite Christian Mushroom Cult”

Blurb:

“A renowned biblical scholar contends that we have misconstrued the meaning and lessons of the Garden of Eden story for more than two millennia

“The Garden of Eden story, one of the most famous narratives in Western history, is typically read as an ancient account of original sin and humanity’s fall from divine grace.

“In this highly innovative study, Ziony Zevit argues that this is not how ancient Israelites understood the early biblical text.

“Drawing on such diverse disciplines as biblical studies, geography, archaeology, mythology, anthropology, biology, poetics, law, linguistics, and literary theory, he clarifies the worldview of the ancient Israelite readers during the First Temple period and elucidates what the story likely meant in its original context.

“Most provocatively, he contends that our ideas about original sin are based upon misconceptions originating in the Second Temple period under the influence of Hellenism.

“He shows how, for Ancient Israelites, the story was really about how humans achieved ethical discernment.

“He argues further that Adam was not made from dust and that Eve was not made from Adam’s rib.

“His study unsettles much of what has been taken for granted about the story for more than two millennia and has far-reaching implications for both literary and theological interpreters.”

Moving Past Surrenderism, to Get the Treasure

article Moving Past Mysticism – no one replied to it; they falsely claimed to be, but no one quoted it, and it’s result the result is a caricature standoff: extremist materialist reductionists who deny consciousness exists (like Sanders and Zijlmans advocate — but I’m not going to deign to provide quotes / citations to substantiate my assertion) vs. wooly headed mystics whose mission is to defend the existence of (Walter Stace-conceptualized) “mystical experiences” (as defined by their sole, out of print (and becoming outright rare) book, Mysticism and Philosophy, 1960, as their “science foundation”).

Even tech-mystic Erik Davis pointed out, this book, this “science foundation” of Mystic Griffiths is becoming quite dated.

The doctrine of artist responsibility: Given the premise that artists are intelligent, are competent at communication, and possess choice and intentionality, it follows that if the artist didn’t want to convey a mushroom impression, then the artist would not have drawn mushroom imagery.

Therefore, by definition, mushroom imagery in art must mean mushrooms, or the artist would not have drawn it. QED.

We are not looking for “spot the mushroom”.

Spot 3 things together, in this genre: {mushroom} + {non-branching favored} + {right-limb favored}.

{bent left leg} means ~100% of weight is on right leg. Applies to gate guy, tree guy, & donkey front left (noticed 4:44 February 16, 2023).

That represents psychedelic eternalism with high certainty, — instead of basing our data recognition on the most crude, material type of evidence, do the opposite: look for depictions of the ultimate effect of Psilocybin, which is transformation from possibilism to eternalism.

https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/04/29/eve-is-standing-on-right-foot-in-plaincourault-fresco-corroborating-mushroom-induced-non-branching-experiencing/

The key question that I identified & defined, to be able to assess this aspect of this type of images:
What percentage of weight is on the figure’s right foot?
Answer: 100%.

Like regions of branching or not, it’s a matter of relative balance.

Panofsky Quote “If Meant Mushrooms, They Would Have Omitted the Branches”

Copied from https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/04/the-panofsky-hatsis-explain-away-o-matic-mushroom-eliminator/#Panofsky-Letter-2-Sentence-5

b/c that page, (ironically lacking from my Panofsky Letters page), has a heading for each sentence, which I add a dest anchor for.

Panofsky Letter 2 Sentence 5: If meant mushroom, would’ve omitted branches.

“if the artists had labored under the delusion that the model before him was meant to be a mushroom rather than a schematized tree he would have omitted the branches altogether.”

What fkking horseshiite! I shall explain:

Directly self-contradictory (b/c Mushroom Madness in Academia lowers IQ to 50):

When it comes to “easily explaining away” mushroom trees, Panofsky flips 180 degrees from “artists have no intentionality and slavishly follow prototypes, not working from nature” to “artists have total freedom and control/license and aim for photorealistic based on nature”.

https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/04/the-panofsky-hatsis-explain-away-o-matic-mushroom-eliminator/#Panofsky-Letter-1-Sentence-6

“What the mycologists have overlooked is that the medieval artists hardly ever worked from nature but from classical prototypes which in the course of repeated copying became quite unrecognizable.”

Panofsky spouts whatever self-contradictory, specious BS, to prop up their LIE about mushrooms, to get rid of everyone’s worst competition, Psilocybin mushrooms.

“… some especially ignorant craftsman may have misunderstood the finished product, viz., the “Pilzbaum”, as a real mushroom. But even that is not very probable because even the most mushroom-like specimens show at least some trace of ramification; if the artists had labored under the delusion that the model before him was meant to be a mushroom rather than a schematized tree he would have omitted the branches altogether.”
– Erwin Panofsky

So, suddenly now, medieval artists do work from nature, not from “classical prototypes”. What garbage, self-contradictory arguments!

The main effect of Psilocybin is transformation of the mental world model from possibilism to eternalism.
cit: Erik Davis book: Led Zep 4: p 118 & 122).
My main 2006 article (“block-universe determinism”).

Non-branching and right vs left foot (two states/models) PROVES that all mushroom imagery in Christian art means Psilocybin mushrooms.

The fact that these 3 elements appear together: mushroom, nonbranching, right foot, proves that all of such images report Psil msh psychedelic eternalism.

Thus we are no longer dependent on “spot the mushroom”, we can perceive and gather a bigger — bootstrapping — evidence base by looking for “effects” depictions — where the main effect is now understood to be transformation from possibilism to eternalism

and that’s depicted as handedness (stand on right foot) and non-branching (cut branches ie eg stand on right foot on cut branch –

The art is trying to show possibilism contrasted against eternalism. Not just showing right-handedness by itself. Contrasting left vs. right, along together with …. contrasting {left & branching} against {right & non-branching}. left-hand branching vs. right-hand non-branching.

Point #1: the word ‘mushroom’ means Psilocybin mushrooms, not Amanita mushrooms.

Amanita imagery is used to represent Psilocybin mushrooms.

More important than the literal object “mushroom”, what’s important is the effects of mushrooms – ie specifically, Psilocybin, NOT Amanita —

The word “mushroom” means Psilocybin, which is represented by Amanita.

Eve Standing on Right Foot

done: add image, but do it using my new approach:

  1. identify what should be the main page to contain the image for copy-paste purpose.
    Decided: the main Plaincourault page shall be:
    Eve Is Standing on Right Foot in Plaincourault Fresco, Corroborating Mushroom-Induced Non-Branching Experiencing
    https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/04/29/eve-is-standing-on-right-foot-in-plaincourault-fresco-corroborating-mushroom-induced-non-branching-experiencing/
  2. done: Edit that page to prep image for copy-paste formatting. Ideally, put all crops there, show png urls. Show dates according to WordPress Gallery. As I just did for Dancing Man/Roasting Salamander image.
  3. done: here link to there
  4. done: copy from rendered there to here, done 1x, d/k how many images, maybe 1 full + 1 crop.

What date did I discover that? important. April _, 2022? Evidently April 28, 2022 but the exact timestamp is in some other file (naturally);

  1. While working in random other page, I realize she stands on right foot.
  2. I write exact timestamp in that page.
  3. I create new page https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/04/29/eve-is-standing-on-right-foot-in-plaincourault-fresco-corroborating-mushroom-induced-non-branching-experiencing/ – alas, sans timestamp for that particular discovery.

So I think I have the day, April 28, 2022 – not yet found timestamp. Often subtract 1 from URL, as I announced officially.

Key Question I Devised: % Weight Right?

What % of weight is on the figure’s right foot?

Which of my pages is my official page where I shall put all of my image crops of Plaincourault, for way easier copy/paste than WordPress Gallery?

Johnstad’s Day Trip to Hell:

Lucas (2005) wrote:

“bad trips as a shamanic initiation experience involving the dismemberment of inauthentic parts of the self.”

The full paragraph (almost):

” … set and setting are important for the outcome of a psychedelic trip.

“Whether they are sufficient to avoid a bad trip is another matter.

“Both Rubinow and Cancro (1977) and Ungerleider et al. (1968) acknowledged the helpfulness of an appropriate set and setting, but they also warned that precautions in this regard do not guarantee against adverse reactions. 

Lucas (2005) noted that bad trips can happen even when you follow all the rules of common sense, and criticized what she called the “set-and-setting attitude” as playing into a fantasy of control: “if we just do everything right, we can prevent negative experiences” (p. 26).

Instead, she understood psychedelic bad trips as a shamanic initiation experience involving the dismemberment of inauthentic parts of the self.

bad trip = initiation experience of dismemberment of inauthentic parts.

“Microdosing Magic,” and the forthcoming books “LSD The Wonderchild” (summer, 2021) and “The Sacred Mushroom Conspiracy” (spring, 2022).

Note his vulnerable left heel foundation, Hatsis’ Achilles heel, “Conspiracy”. As Cyberdisciple pointedout, these theori these scholars are ALL ABOUT SECRECY, it is their paradigm! I do not employ the concept of “secrecy”. All entheogen scholars employ the concept of “secrecy”.

I am not an entheogen scholar, I am a theorist of Transcendent Knowledge. Thast’s why I’m able to avoid falling in the pit that all of the entheogen scholars have fallen into, the sec the Secrecy Pit. A dead-end mindset.

I am hesitant to place myself in a line of back-and-forth as if I’m “departing from the Wasson/ Allegro/ Irvin / Hatsis / Brown trajectory”. I am departing from and starting from the *ME* trajectory.

Thesis->Antithesis->Resolution:

  1. Thesis: Irvin
  2. Hastsis
  3. Cybermonk

That’s problematic. I do not follow after Hatsis. I entered the field in June 1986 asking what’s the Revelation scroll?

Ethnopharmacologic search for psychoactive drugs

Is there a “Church eliminated entheogens” presupposition/ agenda/ narrative/ premise here?

Is 1967 more level-headed than 2020 here?

Winkelman’s dubious paragraph about 1967 conference proceedings:

“Efron’s preface alludes to issues still important and unresolved in the study of psychedelics such as

the origins of humans’ psychotropic plant use and

the identity of the psychoactive plants referred to in the Bible.

Efron’s naivety [?]is evident however, where

he wonders if this Biblical drug use “brought happiness and comfort, or new problems, aggravations, and unhappiness” (p. ix). “

Next, I expect Winkelman to chastise Efron, saying “Obviously, psychoactives bring positive and negative experiences.” Is that the vector he takes?

MW continues:

“Apparently Efron’s memory of Sunday school teachings had faded”

MW reveals the crude and childish level of attitude that causes short-sighted, effective COLLUSION OF ENTHEOGEN SCHOLARSHIP WITH PROHIBITION.

MW tells us that we need to use a Sunday-school level of interpretation of the Eden trees esoteric story.

Look at MW’s rhetoric, “clearly”:

” as Genesis clearly tells us that the gods were definitely displeased with humans taking the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil,

“and

fearing that humans would also use this knowledge to partake of the Tree of Immortality, the gods banished Adam and Eve from an idyllic Eden and sent them to toil and suffer in the outside world.”

MW uses a literalistic, brittle reading. Lacking the subtlety of the serpent. I do not agree that God prohibited, punished, forbade, etc. Those words are not in the Bible text. The Bible text is more neutral and esoteric.

MW (following the herd, and limiting themselves to Sunday School level of reading — because doing so, childishly props up their boo-hoo, crybaby, immature reading of the situation).

MW is self-defeating here. The herd of entheogen scholars are self-defeating here. They’d much rather cry and accuse the Bible of being simply anti-drug, rather than keeping an open mind to receive and perceive the irony readings that the Bible gives us, an ironic inversion reading of the Eden trees “kicked out through the gate from eternalism to possibilism ” mythic storyline. We have here a kind of Pre/Trans Fallacy. The Eden story is not to be read… as… only an inferior, outsideres’, exocteric reading of Eden mis-reads it as if Eden can only be read as simple, brittle narrative of drug prohibition. Immature entheogen scholarship WANTS Eden to be simply a brute Drug Prohibition tale that can only be read in that exoteric manner. They are AGAINST any consideration of a more subtle, serpent wisdom way of reading the Edge tree/gate , reverse-gate or backwards-gate reading of “getting kicked out of Eden for violating God’s commandment”.

Where in Genesis does it say verbatim that God COMMANDED not to eat, and PUNISHED?

Those words are illegitimately IMPORTED into the text, only by EXOTERIC biased reading.

Two Ironic Treatments:

1) Entheogen Scholarship Is Addicted to Drug Prohibition in the Bible & Church, Blinding them to– Willful Blindness to Entheogens in Christianity/ Bible

What really happened in the Garden of Eden: stop the habit of projecting (presentism) modern Drug Prohibition onto Bible/ Genesis-Eden/ Christianity/ the Church

Cite Cyberdisciple post: Rejecting premise of suppression.

2) The Egodeath Theory Does Not Use the Concept of Ego Death

Entheogen Scholarship Is Addicted to Defeatism and Bible Drug Prohibition, of Their Own Hallucinated Projection and Interpolation into the Text

Entheogen Scholars Want Genesis to Assert Modern-Era Drug Prohibition (Perverse, Dysfunctional Presentism); They Are Committed to and Invested in that Self-Defeating Narrative

They Get a Rush of Reward by Projecting Prohibition onto Genesis and then Crying About It

We have here exactly as advertised, from MW, literally a Sunday School level of crude, brittle reading, b/c MW and everyone else WANT, THEY they are COMMITTED TO, the Bible being Prohibitionist, simply and plainly, with all subtlety shut out by MW — not shut out by the Bible text itself, but by MW’s eager lapping up and limiting himself to only his Sunday School teacher’s childish mis-reading and interpolation into the Genesis text, PRESENTISM, PROJECTING DRUG PROHIBITION BACK INTO THE GENESIS text, is self-defeatingly encouraged by MW and everyone (exceptions proving the rule).

“Seems like this early engagement with psychotropics provoked the first war on drugs!

Just like everyone else, pushing the herd’s favored, received, dominant discourse narrative story framing, MW takes a 1-dimensional, brittle, crude, self-defeating, eager-to-give-up angle just like everyone else, none of whom say to open your eyes and look for entheogens within the Church.

MW wants Genesis to be only readable as Modern-type Drug Prohibition. Then he gets to morally grandstand, which is more important and valuable to him (to most all entheogen scholars) than finding entheogens in the Bible/ Christianity.

MW — same as all the zero-imagination entheogen scholars — has his priorities backwards:

Priority 1: Elevate oneself and demonize the chruch for getting rid of entheogens.

Priority 10: Open eyes and perceive entheogens throughout the Bible & Church & Christianity. How come Chris Bennett is willing to look and see nuanced presence of entheogens throughout Genesis, Bible, Chruch, and Christianity, but MW doesn’t want that and accuses Beneette of not even having a Sunday School level of knowledge that “of course Gneesis/Bible is solidly Prohbitionist”?

I Have Shattered the Broken and Dysfunctional Narrative that MW and Most All Entheogen Scholars Are Firmly Addicted To, in Self-Defeating, Dysfunctional Fashion

Two Egodeath Mystery Show podcast topics needing coverage:

I AM DECLARING AN END TO THE DOGMA OF ENTHEOGEN SCHOLARSHIP THAT THE BIG BAD CHURCH/ GENESIS/ BIBLE/ Christianity GOT RID OF ENTHS – IT IS A LIE AND SELF-DEFEATING FALSE PRESUPPOSITION.

AS LONG AS YOU ENTHEOGEN SCHOLARS KEEP TELLING YOUR FALSE, CRUDE, DEFEATIST SOB-STORY, PSILOCYBIN PROHIBITION WILL CONTINUE.

2) The Egodeath theory HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EGO DEATH.

The term ‘Egodeath’ is just an improved domain name (Egodeath.com vs. CybTrans.com) and surface branding, appropriate at a very zoom-out level.

See my 1997 posting’s titular use of the expression “ego death”, compared to how I employ that term within the body of the article/posting/ summary specification.

The term ‘Egodeath’ is a good 1-word summary – no more than that.

Very often, the best lexicon for a zoom-out level isn’t the best for an adequate zoom-in level.

Ego death is but a minor concept, one among many, to be flexibly used sometimes but not other times, within the explanatory theory: the theory of ego transcendence; “transcendence theory” (per a May 1988 voice recording); the Cybernetic Theory of ego transcendence, Transcendent Knowledge, the Core theory.

The best theory-lexicon phrases for a 20-word or 10-word summary of the Egodeath theory are NOT the best phrases for a 100 or 1000-word summary scale.

Their Crappy “Cognitive Neuro-Reductionism” Non-Lexicon

Their lexicon is tainted – stay away — by Cognitive Neuro-Reductionism. cnr

Default Lame Network

Default Clueless Network

Default Fail Network

Default Baloney Network

their lexicon reeks of “got nothin'” of any merit and usefulness

Their lexicon is the problem. Nice you have a lexicon, now I’m erasing the board and showing you a successful lexicon.

Their lexicon blocks the gate and won’t let anyone pass.

Quote CEQ. Here’s what they say about the removal of 18 of 21 Dread items. DED….

I don’t like “ego dissolution”, warning: beware of other alien termy lexicon. Dread is ok. DED is bad b/c “Dread of Ego Dissolution” has “ego dissolution — WHICH IS NOT HOW I TALK.

MY LEXICON at risk of being TAINTED BY BEING BASED ON THEIR CRAP, 4TH-RATE fragmentary hazy pop terms, not an effective lexicon, in fact the familiarity of the poor terms halts insight.

This article contributes a lexicon. Map to their crap terms, “default mode network” held at arm’s length, harmful as a foundation for a theory.

I do not use as a basis their problem-perpetuating terms: Pop Sike Term’y. Into the Hanegraaff Rejected wastebasket.

Sure, I’m willing to discuss why your lexicon isn’t even a lexicon, but a heap of dead ends.

blah blah default mode network i even have an acro for it DMN wow

blah blah ego death blah ego dissolution

I’ve read the explanation – WORTHLESS.

Eustace

My best guess is that I photographed the book in Snodfart’s Junior Student Bookstore, uploaded the low-constrast version to my Plaincourault gallery, then later image-processed it to get such high contrast.

I think I am the Web source/provider/ uploader of this window, and during that bookstore visit I said “look how extremely easy it is, piece of cake, to find multiple mushroom trees in Christian art and upload them”.

Need to Register Dates of Discovery of the May 21, 2022 Art Breakthrough Month-Long Jackpot

Log of Discoveries & Achievements
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2021/01/04/log-of-discoveries-achievements/

todo: update my Discoveries Log page; add lots of key milestone dates.

What was I developing before March 21 2022? So many things were in flight, there were 5-10 milestones happening on that day.

The dates are not very hard to find, but it takes time away from breakthroughs right now.

When Did My Breakthrough Period Around March 21, 2022 Start & End?

the old problem: i’m too busy DOING breakthrough discoveries, to coherently track usefully a summary of dates. at this point I have memorized:

March 21, 2022 = Brown showed Marchia Kupfer quote youths trees cutting branches AND my full-momentum, “already hot/primed” [ie, before March 21, I had ALREADY started & was in the midst of a discovery phase] reply to that was in same thread, same day, next post:

March 21, 2022 = first time wrote branching-message mushroom trees (previously: “problematic branching mushroom trees” was clueless – despite posting in 2020 “message of nonbranching”, I didn’t “get it” until I wrote “branching-message mushroom trees” March 21, 2022.

Just now [~8:45 a.m. February 15, 2023] a quick look at page “Eustace” shows that it waited all the way until May 2022 before I un-slumbered and FINALLY applied my Nov 2020 non-branching/handedness/ mushroom trees decoding back to my 2006 Eustace Crossing River picture, Chartres cathedral window.

Tired: Spot the Mushroom. Wired: Spot the Mushroom + Handedness + Non-Branching

Crude and immature entheogen scholarship is a childish, puerile game of “spot the mushroom”.

This low-grade notion of the objective of entheogen scholarship is a reductionistic exercise, as if what is revealed in the Mysteries is The Mushroom (🍄).

That phrase “the mushroom” is meant by 1880 or 1970 writers as trying, striving to express and connote a “primitivism” mode of thought.

I have a much superior childish, puerile game: instead of superficially and reductionistically playing “spot the mushroom”, we need to level-up and instead, superficially and reductionistically play “spot the mushroom + handedness + non-branching”.

Cybermonk May 2022+: “Look mummy, there’s a mushroom and handedness and non-branching!” 👍 😊

Missing Cap Definitely Seen in “God Creates Plants” Image

God Created Pilzbaum with Pre-Cut Branches

Using my strict reporting technique that I learned from Browns, I shall only report what I see: in the left tree, bottom/right side of trunk, I definitely see that a cap has been painted over or somehow obscured.

It seems that when God created branching-message mushroom trees, He created them with not only added branches, but with cut branches, right from Day 1 (or Day 3, rather):

Entheogen Scholarship Is Complicit Enablers of Keeping Psilocybin Illegal

The Communication Power of Redundancy: Against John Lash, Two Mushroom Psalters (Sarcasm)

Lash is wrong saying Great Mushroom Psalter is unique.

Actually, there are TWO uniquely mushroom-containing psalters.

Exactly two.

Which is further evidence (following Ruck’s pattern of framing) that real psalters do not contain mushrooms.

Only the lone, sole psalter – make that, two psalters – only deviant, abnormal, secret, heretical, imported-from-outside psalters contain mushroom imagery.

Proving that the Big Bad Church to that extent, the more mushroom imagery we find, the more we know for certain just how much & totally the Church got rid of all mushrooms.

(waitaminnute, who is the one striving to remove mushrooms from Christianity?)

The entheogen scholars are the ones who are strenuously pushing a project of removing and neutralizing mushrooms from Christianity, because that is their driving, #1 mission and objective: not “find lots of mushrooms inside Christianity”, but rather, “smear the Church for eliminating all mushrooms”.

Entheogen scholarship is perverse!

Entheogen scholarship abusively employs mushroom finds, to prop up *THE* entheogen scholarship narrative, which is “There are no mushrooms in Christianity” — so that the Supreme Court can continue saying “Entheogen scholarship has found that there are no mushrooms in Christianity, therefore, put people in cages for using Psilocybin.”

(But No More! Stop! Lest Our Precious “Big Bad Church” Dominant Discourse Narrative Be Broken)

Speaking (below, minutes ago) about redundancy within an image, likewise in a psalter, likewise in a genre: multiple psalters.

But surely it stops at 2 psalters, because if we allow 3 mushroom psalters, our most important thing: our “big bad church had no mushroom” narrative, will be a smoking ruins.

We cannot allow this; therefore, there shall be no more mushroom psalters.

🚫 🍄 📚

John Lash – I need to read his 9 removed articles, he is committed to the narrative “I am the one who found the only mushroom psalter”.

He wrote (see below):

“I am so far the sole investigator to specifically identify BNF Latin MS 8846 [Great Canterbury Psalter] as the unique psalter with entheobotanical imagery.”

Not entirely sure what he is & isn’t claiming (circa 2008).

Mushroom pictures from Eadwine have been around for a while.

https://www.amazon.com/Psychedelic-Gospels-History-Hallucinogens-Christianity/dp/1620555026/

Let’s do a fresh color check since the hi-res site fiddled w/ color balance:

We can revel in John Rush’s clearly identified mushroom that God is holding in right hand.

I can put below it my original 2020 capture to see if this 2023 version has brighter colors. Yes it does. You can see the bright red mushroom in God’s right hand even more, now, just as John Rush claimed, against those Hatsis-like Brown naysayers who fail to see mushrooms everywhere (except St. Martin church’s Entry into Jerusalem fresco, where the Browns’ mushroom vision is so acute, they are able to see through paint to spot: “I see … the caps that have been painted over or somehow obscured.”)

Julie Brown: “I see caps have been obscured from the plant-like objects — so much so, that the sloppy artist makes it look like he’s holding just stupid sticks & feathers: FAIL!”

What kind of a talentless, hack, uninspired artist would show holding out feathers to Christ the savior??!

St. Martin church’s Entry into Jerusalem scene holding out just worthless sticks & feathers is as big a dud as all the dud, disappointing vine-leaf trees (failed Pilzbaum) that disappointingly litter Eadwine’s Great Mushroom Psalter.

Probably those, too, were mushroom trees that got painted over or somehow obscured.

Confirmed, the Great Mushroom Psalter [an awful, counterproductive phrase! i repent!] I am changing/ redefining my keyboard shortcuts now…

“Great Mushroom Psalter” that is a TERRIBLE phrase, to be used only sarcastically, because it fatally backfires:

If you call this “THE” mushroom psalter, then YOU, not “the evil Church” — are the one who is GUILTY of striving to remove mushrooms from Christianity — while you PRETEND that, and strike a pose as if, you are ASSERTING mushrooms in Christianity.

This self-contradiction is typical and characteristic of the ironic self-defeat of entheogen scholarship.

Allegro says only first-gen primitive Christians used “the mushroom (🍄)” — and then (in my copy of his book), he says that the Plaincourault fresco indicates that they still remembered this tradition, over the course of 1300 years.

Ruck piles book upon book , he outdoes himself with excessive plethora of evidence, that there are no mushrooms in (normal, real, proper) Christendom – but the sheer size of his evidence base that he puts forth in support of that NARRATIVE directly disproves that narrative.

McKenna in effect directs us to close our eyes, don’t even TRY to perceive mushrooms in evil Christianity, because they cannot be there; we cannot allow for there to be mushrooms inside of Christianity.

T McKenna considers it unfortunate and undesirable when buttloads of mushrooms are all throughout chapels, cathedrals, and manuscripts.

This is a variant of the “too many mushrooms” syndrome/argument:

There are so many mushrooms inside the church, that there is no way we can possibly imagine that the church included mushrooms; we have to in a sense “explain away” our mushrooms that we find inside/throughout the Church.

That’s our job & programme/project, as anti-Church entheogen scholars (or anti-church scholars pretending to be entheogen scholars), who abuse entheogen evidence in support of our smash-the-church narrative.

Confirmed, the Great Canterbury Psalter has been monkeyed with at the hi-res site so now you can see what acutely visioned John Rush discovered (alas I cannot take credit for this find):

God (or Lash (wrongly) says Jesus in one spot at least) clearly holds a mushroom in his right hand (don’t let those inferior entheogen scholars mislead you with their biased, anti-mushroom, or excessively Ardent Advocates, forced readings):

Artificial Redundancy Signalling in Diagrammatic Medieval Art

* Pink Key Tree in Eadwine

also the two cybercide guys form a redundancy to affirm the deliberate messaging.

also the two balancing guys in tree form a redundancy

* 3 Layers of Branching + Holding Branch in Cranach

* Enoch Lifted Up in Golden Munich Psalter

This feels like i new idea, yet maybe I am re-remembering the POV, b/c I did post this point before, or some very similar angle:

[11:25 p.m. February 14, 2023]: the pink key tree’s specifically BRANCHING part of the key tree is touching some part of the main tree… which part? the overall tree, or the cut branch, or the left-hand branching part (vs the cut trunk)?

The right reading a moment ago felt:

The branching part of the pink key tree is touching the left general (branching) part of the main tree, to establish that:

“what is true of the pink key tree re: branching is true of the main tree re: branching”.

That’s the message of “why is the pink key tree reaching over to touch the main tree?”

In Nov. 2020 I felt same way about Eadwine’s use of the pink key tree as I did about the loud explicit artificial signalling in the Campbell image, Cranach’s Eve Tempted by the Serpent where he employs 3 layers of branching as well as (I posted a year later) Eve holding branch w/ left hand.

Also last night (or two ago), I felt the same about the artificial redundancy built into the diagram to ensure communication, — against the whole “secrecy” premise that’s WAY overblown and clumsily mis-handled by entheogen scholars.

Diagrammatic Redundancy of Lifted Mushroom Hem Selecting the Relatively Non-Branching Pilzbaum, x2

also: contrasting branching vs. non-branching, symmetrically – this image specializes in conveying pointed deliberateness; it is blatantly artificially duplicating elements.

This image messages about the distinct scales of detail, too: it says, although the short trees branch the stem under cap, they have 1 cap, so are relatively non-branching.

We have the reality of non-branching cap, held up by the appearance of branching (interesting new little idea [11:44 p.m. February 14, 2023].

I’m becoming more skilled as perceiving & thinking in terms of “Where can we see a CONTRAST between branching vs. non-branching?”

Even isolating the left short tree, it contains both branching, and a non-branching trunk & cap as the roasted salamander teaches in Dancing Man image.

Like Eustace’s “look mummy a cubensis” has “traces of ramification” under the cap.

A branching-message mushroom tree is an instructional teaching device: it contains both branching elements and non-branching elements.

{lifted garment/mushroom hem} affirms {non-branching} tree, not {branching} tree.

John Lash’s Critique of “the Specific Version of Wasson’s Theory”

Content Moved Out from “The Panofsky/Hatsis Explain-Away-o-Matic Mushroom Eliminator” Page to Idea Dev p 18:

Working-up some John Lash content rn ([7:23 p.m. February 14, 2023] in my Explain-Away-o-Matic page (a useful page structure/context!)

It seems I’m dumping (developing) the info in section: (moved to Idea Dev p 18)
Page title:
The Panofsky/Hatsis Explain-Away-o-Matic Mushroom Eliminator
Section heading:
You’re Not Allow to Deviate from Allegro, Who Is Your Foundation, Origin, and Boundary of Thought 
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/04/the-panofsky-hatsis-explain-away-o-matic-mushroom-eliminator/#you-have-to-be-faithful-to-allegro

Lots of sketchy/ wrong/ interesting points in Lash’s 9 deleted/archived articles. Although I created a bunch of Lash webpages, I really haven’t done a full gone-autistic critique of these 9 articles.

I haven’t unleashed the sperg on Lash yet, I’m still too facepalming at “variations of the Wasson thesis including those which completely depart from it” — not to mention Lash’s praise of “psychomimetics” which you want b/c they “mimic the mind”.

Is Lash’s psychomimetics like Hanegraaff’s non-drug entheogens? 🤔 🤷‍♂️

Every idea anyone ever had on the topic is called “follower of Allegro” by Hatsis, yet is called “variations of Wasson’s thesis” by Lash — same fallacy, different name.

Lash pushes the Great Man view of Wasson.

Hatsis pushes the Great Man view of Allegro — albeit negatively.

Lash bets everything on the magic name “Wasson”.

Hatsis bets everything — negatively — on the magic name “Allegro”.

Content Moved Out from “The Panofsky/Hatsis Explain-Away-o-Matic Mushroom Eliminator” Page to Idea Dev p 18:

I have done intensive intellectual autobiography and have determined that my Core theory (the cybernetic theory of ego transcendence) and the mytheme theory are 0% influenced by Allegro.

In no sense whatsoever did I “come from” or “depart from” Allegro — or from Wasson for that matter, as John Lash would just as falsely proclaim in the exact same wrong manner as Hatsis’ mis-conception of the field.

I am not a “follower of Allegro”; I am a follower of me.

Hatsis has a snowball’s chance in hell, of articulating what the Egodeath theory has to say about the history of Psilocybin in Western religious history.

My view is about as far as possible from Letcher Hatsis’ fabricated projection, “secret Amanita Christian cult”.

Hatsis should — per John Lash — blame Wasson for fabricating the “ural mountains single Amanita cult origin of all religion” theory.

John Lash Article “Three Generations of Psychonauts > ” Says Wasson’s Specific Amanita Ural Mountains Thesis was “Eccentric”

Looking for Lash’s passages about Wasson’s two theories. Getting close.

Wait Wut? “Only Eadwine has mushrooms inside the Evil Church” – Lash

PARADISE DENIED was intended to be the first complete account written for mainstream readers of the entheogenic theory of religion, or Wasson thesis – so named after R. Gordon Wasson who proposed it in 1968.

The thesis has two forms:”

I’m SURE Lash wrote “Wasson has two theses: a poor theory (Ural) and a good theory (entheogen theory of religion)” Maybe I am thinking of this passage that says “general form” Wasson theory is good, and “specific form” Wasson theory is inane:

“In its general form, the thesis states that the primal religious experience of humanity was a visionary trance induced by the ingestion of psychoactive plants.

“This direct revelation of Divinity was ecstatic religion as it existed long before any doctrines, rites, rules, hierarchy, or institutions.

“In its specific form, the Wasson thesis locates the roots of entheogenic religion in cultic use of the fly agaric mushroom (amanita muscaria) in the Ural mountains of Central Asia around 6500 BCE.

“Wasson is also known, and primarily known to many people, for his book Soma: Divine Mushroom of Immortality (1968) where he identified the fly-agaric with soma, the divine inebriant of Vedic religion.

“As originally conceived, I did not intend PARADISE DENIED to plead for or against the Wasson thesis.

“My aim was to challenge the longstanding taboo on ecstatic religious experience, explain why this taboo was imposed in the first place, and consider the massive pathological impact of forbidding access to the divine dimension of the natural* world.”

[Warning, if you agree to his technical term ‘natural’, what raft of views are you signing on to? This word-employment ‘natural’ is Lashian jargon, caution! -cm]

“To do this, I set out to define the thesis, trace its development, its role in the psychedelic movement of the 1960s, its current ramifications, and let the evidence speak for itself.

“And the evidence is spectacular.

The centerpiece of entheogenic theory in my proposed book was the Paris Eadwine Psalter, BNF Latin MS 8846, a rare illuminated book of the 12th Century.

“Biblical scenes in the psalter depict in botanically distinct form the “forbidden fruit,” blue-staining psilocybe mushrooms sprouting from the Tree of Knowledge, and other varieties of psychoactive fungi.

“The above image of Adam and Eve is one of twelve sections from a full-page panel of the Eadwine MS.

“The psalter opens with five such panels, lavish in detail and color, and there are three other full-page panels as well, though not all of them show entheobotanical imagery.

“About forty other images in the 357-page MS repeat the motif of the paradisical tree, often shown in the explicit, literal form of a blue-staining mushroom.”

[i have much critique (i like his “explicit”); see my morphology pages inventorying Great Mushroom Psalter -cm] Site Map: https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/nav/#Great-Mushroom-Psalter

“In one twelve-section panel Jesus[sic; God] presides over four botanically distinct types of psychoactive mushrooms, including those that stain blue (right).”

[I’ve successfully ID’d them:
Panaelus, Liberty Cap, Cubensis, Amanita
– a highly useful scheme. -cm]

“This startling image, in which the Christian Savior[sic; God] appears to invite the faithful to partake in a sacramental mushroom mass, has appeared on some entheogenic sites on the Internet, wrongly identified as belonging to the Canterbury Psalter. There is much confusion, and scholarly obfuscation, around the precise identification of the Paris Eadwine Psalter, which closely resembles two other 12 C illuminated MSs.

“To my knowledge, I am so far the sole investigator to specifically identify BNF Latin MS 8846 [Great Canterbury Psalter] as the unique psalter with entheobotanical imagery.”

If so, that’s because you’re “uniquely” full of shiite, Lash.

John Lash Is All Too Typical of Entheogen Scholars: His Top Objective Is Smear the Church, So, He Simply Demotes “Find Mushrooms” to Be a Lesser Objective that Needs to Be Suppressed to Prop Up His Real Mission

Let’s see what image randomly happens to be at top of my recent WordPress gallery additions — oh look, it’s a statement of mushrooms causing non-branching to be revealed, in not the Great Canterbury Mushroom Paris Eadwine Psalter MS 8846:

url https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/10/golden-munich-psalter-analysis-in-terms-of-the-theory-of-psychedelic-eternalism/#Image-24-top

right foot = right-hand (red) non-branching portion of the instructional branching-message mushroom tree — {handedness} + {non-branching} + mushroom imagery in this psalter fits together to PROVE that mushrooms are meant, in this psalter just like in the Great Canterbury Mushroom Paris Eadwine Psalter MS 8846.

but that’s just a coincidental accident — but wait– MORE right-handedness + non-branching motifs intertwined with mushroom imagery:

Amanita will always be and has always been the billboard for boring ambiguous LBMs (little brown mushrooms, per Stamets’ term).

As the leading entheogen scholar/theorist, I have made the positive botanical identifications, left to right:
Panaeolus, Liberty Cap, Cubensis, and Hybrid Panaeolus/ Liberty Cap/ Cubensis/ Amanita 😑

I think I found that passage, in the page which contains article “Generation 1: 1935 – 1965” that’s part of a formerly planned series “Three Generations of Psychonauts“.

The 3-gens webpage has a heading-like link to another article, Wasson and Company: The Entheogenic Theory of Religion : The Psychonautic Adventure — which is sort of a related chapter of a potential book-in-the-works.

Lash, obsessed with THE Great Man, Wasson, never gets around to writing his imagined 2nd Gen & 3rd Generation articles.

Dates of 2006 Griffiths Article vs. 2006/2007 Main Egodeath Theory Article

May 3, 2006 – David Nichols (! top chemist colleague of Shulgin) – his review of Griffiths article is received by Pharmacology journal.

July 7, 2006 – e-publication of Pharmacology journal issue containing Griffiths’ article.

October 2, 2006 – Cybermonk publishes “The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death“, starting the Psychedelic Renaissance, though lacking Intro section (it’s separate, at Egodeath.com home page introducing the article) and the sentences are too long & nested to read aloud.

June 15, 2007 – Cybermonk copies the Intro from home page into main Egodeath theory article.

September 12, 2007 – Cybermonk breaks up sentences in the 2006 main article, like was first done in the streamlined mobile version of the article (interesting implication that mobile’s tech constraints produces better writing).

So, like John Rush, ignore my evidence base and pay attention to my narrative instead:

The Psychedelic Renaissance was started by my 2006 main article, and was then bolstered by Griffith’s 2006 response article.

[What then is the Psychedelic Renaissance, which began with my 2006 article “The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death” and then Roland Griffiths’ response article, “Psilocybin Causes Mystical Experience“?
[G4 = “Great Man” Cybermonk]
Note: I finally looked up dates the other day at the Egodeath Yahoo Group – Max Freakout archive, found September 12, 2007: broke up sentences, and I added the (structurally crucial IMO) Intro section copied on June 15, 2007 from Egodeath.com home page into the article as I recorded the other day at:
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/the-entheogen-theory-of-religion-and-ego-death-2006-main-article/#About-this-Article
Still, Roland Griffiths looked at the body of my article October 2, 2006 and then wrote his article.

fact check, see my References page
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/01/17/references-for-psychedelic-psychometrics-questionnaires/#Psilocybin-can-occasion-mystical-type-experiences

findings: a “Commentary on:” the Griffiths article was received May 3, 2006.

My 2006 main article was finished in its body (no Intro section) on October 2, 2006.

My Intro was added June 15, 2007. May/July/Aug 2006 are the dates of availaiblity of the Griffiths article. I have a specific date for the publishing of the Griffiths article: e-pub: 2006 Jul 7.

But insiders were reviewing his article by May 3, 2006.

At that time, I was drafting my article, at Egodeath.com & the Egodeath Yahoo Group – clearly, Griffiths saw that, and had to get his article published.

How did Chs S write a Commentary on May 11, 2006, if the article by Griffiths was first released electronically after that, on July 7, 2006? (For the August 2006 Journal).

May 3, 2006 –

May 11, 2006 – Chs S Commentary received – actually the PDF at MAPS contains 4 reviews of Griffiths article, including one received May 3, 2006.

July 7, 2006 – Griffiths article e-pub

August 2006 issue – contains Griffiths article but “aug ” is vague, could be off by 2 months; could have shipped in June 2006.

to get date of Griffiths 2006 article: drat, Chs Shuster’s commentary was Received: 11 May 2006 /Accepted: 27 May 2006, so Griffiths i’m guessing March 2006 since Issue 3 of the journal that year, here’s a citation: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16826400/ – electronically published first, then the journal print so-called Aug: 2006 Aug;187(3):268-83; discussion 284-92. doi: 10.1007/s00213-006-0457-5. Epub 2006 Jul 7.

John Lash Critique con’t

Not in His Image: Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief is the work of a G2 author with a G3 message.

“It delves into the entheogenic rites of the Mysteries and discloses the sacred secret of instruction by the Organic Light.

“Hence it links this G1 event, the discovery at Nag Hammadi, with the emergent perspectives of 21st century psychonautics, and points toward the G3 concept of telestic shamanism.”
https://web.archive.org/web/20111030041712/http://www.metahistory.org/psychonautics/Psychonautics1.php

“G1 psychonaut R. Gordon Wasson, who proposed the entheogenic theory of religion, devoted a good part of his studies to proving that the Vedic Soma was the amanita muscaria or fly-agaric mushroom. If this were so, it would have been the supreme natural source of religious experience for the human species.”

“Clearly, Wasson was less concerned to verify his thesis experimentally, as he could have done through delving deeper into psilocybin mushroom shamanism, than to receive academic recognition for his eccentric notion that religion originated from an amanita cult or community located in the Ural Mountains of Eurasia in the Neolithic Age.

As we shall see, Wasson’s fixation on the amanita muscaria or fly-agaric, which is not of the Genus Psilocybe, proved to be problematic for him and others…”

[interesting, what does Lash say later re: “shall see”?]

Ackshually, “Genus Psilocybe” looks like a good phrase, but technically isn’t a good phrase, because it eg omits Liberty Cap; so we have to alas speak of “Psilocybin” instead of the Psilocybe genus.

Source: Paul Stamets’ 1996 book Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: an Ident’n Guide.

Which is ok, since point blank unavoidably saying specifically the word ‘Psilocybin’ prevents massive truckloads of B.S. substitution/ avoidance/ deletion stratagems.

Everyone’s top mission is get rid of Psilocybin and avoid Psilocybin at all costs, move the spotlight to anywhere else except the one plant that actually works, that actually threatens & kills ego; that does in fact change the mind in transformation from possibilism to eternalism.

todo link my lash page, probably my Wise as Serpents book page (yes), identify which article he says “Wasson’s really stupid idea, ural mountains” (ans: topmost Wasson article https://web.archive.org/web/20111019042357/http://metahistory.org/psychonautics/Wasson/WassonAndCo.php – contains idiotic mis-assessment of the field of entheogen scholarship –

“Wasson posited the existence of a prehistorical shamanic mushroom cult in the Ural mountains.

“He sought to prove that the natural sacrament and inebriant of this cult was the fly-agaric, amanita muscaria, which he identified with the Vedic inebriant, soma.

“Variations of the Wasson thesis[sic!], including some considerable extrapolations and departures from it[nonsensical!], have been advanced by John Allegro, Ralph Metzner, James Arthur, Terence McKenna, Benny Shannon, Jim de Korne, and many others. … John Rush.”

Elsewhere Lash (uncharacteristically for fanboy Lash) says this is an inane [“eccentric”] thesis by his idol, Wasson.

Excerpt from Lash’s 9 Archived Articles

I’m trying to re-find where Lash says that Wasson had two distinct theses – I’m finding it, here & there.

  • Wasson’s smart, general thesis: The Entheogen Theory.
    • Thankfully, Lash is the only person who talks of “The Wasson theory”
    • – or who praises “psychomimetics”[sic!!] which “mimic the mind”[sic!]- Lash’s credibility plummets & crashes here.
    • He also omits Mithraism from history, b/c it demolishes his narrative.
  • Wasson’s stupid, “specific” thesis: All religion came from a single Amanita cult in the Ural mountains.
    • Find ‘Ural’ in the 9 archived articles, as I recall.
    • This is as close as you’ll ever get to John Lash critiquing our God & Savior, R. Gordon Wasson, who fkking invented mushrooms, and The Wasson Theory (which little people call “the topic of entheogens”, thus dishonoring Wasson the Great).

Lash incorrectly says the following image shows “Jesus” inviting people to ingest mushrooms; Lash should know that it depicts the great Creator of Mushrooms himself: that’s right, none other than Wasson himself!

(Does that make Wasson co-eternal with Christ? 🤔 🤷‍♂️ — a problem to leave for the psychedelic theologians.)

Lash also writes that only a single psalter contains explicit mushroom imagery.

oops, wrong “the only mushroom psalter”!

I meant this “the only mushroom psalter”:

Lash, Too, Noticed Eating from the Tree of Life Is Allowed

I indep’ly noticed (posted here 1-2 years ago) that eating from the tree of life isn’t forbidden.

(I doubt also that eating from the tree of knowledge was “forbidden”; that word is imported into the Bible from outside of it.)

The Oldest Taboo in the World
John Lash ~2008
https://web.archive.org/web/20111019042416/http://metahistory.org/psychonautics/Wasson/OldestTabooIntro.php

The Two Trees

“Genesis 2:9 describes the two trees, of knowledge and of life. But Genesis 2:17 only forbids eating of the first.

“Here is another hidden factor in the mythical syntax.

“Reading the myth in fine detail, we notice that eating of the tree of knowledge brings up the risk that Adam and Eve will eat of the tree of life, which is not expressly forbidden.

Why is God so upset that eating of the one will lead to eating of the another?

“Perhaps because the realization gained from eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge generates recognition of what the tree of life is.

“The forbidden fruit gives the first parents access to the very biological source of their existence, “the tree of life.”

[his reductionism gets smaller & smaller -cm]

“Because this tree could not be attained unless the fruit of the other tree was eaten, access to it did not have to be denied.

“Without the forbidden fruit to open their vision, Adam and Eve could partake of the tree of life for nutrition, to sustain themselves, but not to access its deeper secrets, not to attain the secret of life itself.

“The tree of knowledge confers the wisdom that opens the way to the secret of immortality, represented by the tree of life …”

Why a New Idea Development # Page So Soon

Word Press is choking on long files more than it used to.

Time to start a new Idea Development page already; #17 hit 61 sheets = 122 pages (a fraction of my longest such pages) and is already acting overloaded.

Website Techniques for Quickly Finding/ Copy/ Pasting my Existing Gallery Images

Some of my changing use of posting pages is affected by this: I need 1 page per art “site”. I keep having to sleuth and find and puzzle over where to find my own images, along with metadata about them eg where is the original psalter hi-res website – I have to stop (… slowly…. rummaging… ) adding images from the Gallery UI, and copy them from existing pages rendered, instead.

That requisite findability of my images in my webpages requires an intelligent breakout of webpages (aka posts).

I’m still working out a better technique for tracking data about my image crops of psalters, to make images clickable, and especially finding a way to quickly find and copy/paste images WITH metadata and clickability.

Enoch’s {lifted garment} selects the {non-branching} tree, not the {branching} tree, x2 – the Diagrammatic Quality of Medieval Mushroom Eternalism Art

10:11 p.m. February 12, 2023, I happily discovered that the lifted garments affirm non-branching pilzbaum in Golden Mushroom Psalter Image 24 top panel, showing Enoch lifted up.

I finished going through Golden Mushroom Psalter, the reward was recognizing and receiving several {handedness} & {non-branching} motifs, eg:

Copy from a rendered page not gallery, b/c auto’ly get a clickable png w/ metadata.

The reason I didn’t see this faster (lifted cloth is over nonbracnhing pilzbaum) is b/c the page/caption lopsided capture distracting; I NEED A PROPER CROP of just the image/panel content. … done.

Now put this in Golden Gallery and tag it there then copy it from that rendered page:
