Intro

This page is the first page I made that’s dedicated to f177 image of Great Canterbury Psalter. Presently p.m. March 11, 2023 there is a lot of decoding of this image in the two other pages plus the section about this image in the branching-message mushroom trees article.

All 3 Trees in the Entire Image Have a YI Morphology (2 Are Non-Mushroom Trees)

[11:13 a.m. March 4, 2023] ANNOUNCEMENT: Looking at the entire image, I just noticed all 3 trees (2 are dud non-mushroom trees) are YI type; I need to re-inventory all the trees in this psalter!

Dark 2020 Capture

Entire Image, with Looking-Lines and Boxed Target-Features

Features:

• row 1 right: cut right trunk. It is possible I could have mentioned this tree, b/c such a major cut. But I highly doubt — it’s unlikely — that I ever noticed the row 2 tree’s subtle YI before now.
• row 2 left: subtle YI morphology – not cut right trunk but rather, single cap on right split of lowest (first) split. Start from ground, move up: first split has 1 cap on right, move up along left path, splits into two thus the left is branching, right is non-branching.
• row 1 left, already announced: horses look at the right-hand blue cap nonbranching and they also look at guy’s right hand keeping him control-stable.

Maybe I will have to publish in my branching-message mushroom trees article the entire image, after all.
found it at
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/12/13/canterbury-psalter-mushroom-inventory/#f177 – copied to below:
Is this a dull older version, have they brightened it? Click image to check.

It is possible I may have mentioned 1-2 separate points about the two dud trees (vine-leaf trees), but now, I am issuing and recognizing for the first time, all together:

It still feels like a fresh new realization / decoding, that I’m still integrating and digesting, this equivalence principle: 1 cap on the right and 2 on the left, is equivalent to {cut right trunk}.

It’s about relative branching vs. non-branching. eg Eadwine drew a bunch of branches under the big blue cap, but it still continues to represent {non-branching}, vs. the other caps.

This principle bolsters my assertion, based on Dancing Man (bestiary salamander), that {cap} = {a non-branching part of a msh tree}.

And I’ve also noted that usually, generally, {cap} doesn’t contain branching – it’s hard/rare to find branching drawn within the cap of a mushroom tree, in this genre.

The exceptions are so rare as to prove the rule.

In a pilzbaum, a cap is considered non-branching, and doesn’t contain branching imagery.

Errata

It was a mistake to at all short-change the dud trees.

Todo: I definitely need to make a page not merely of all MUSHROOM trees, but all the dud trees, too!

What Other MAJOR Images/ Jackpots am I Still Blind To?

Notes a few days later, 10:45 p.m. March 3, 2023:

It’s slightly concerning that I had left so big a jackpot on the table, unrecognized, late 2020 to early 2023.

What other major images am I failing to see?

This particular image — the right-leg standing guy, was of very great value to me because so very explicitly right-limb relying.

I never thought to look at the left and right panel together.

So much depends on the crop.

I failed to look at the branching morphology — what did I say about this tree in my page 75 msh trees of the psalter?

Ans: I wrote the heading (no notes):

Mushroom tree #73: 7 caps, pink panaeolus, veil branches, 2 pink leaves, 1 red leaves, 2 blue fans

That heading fails to describe the branching architecture.

I inventoried all 75 msh trees using this approach, so I need to re-look at the branching morphology.

This crop is too tight; by design, excludes the surroundings — so, it excludes the blue horse making it hard to see that both horses are looking at the blue cap, and excludes the heads & eyes of the other two horses, looking at God’s right hand and the mystic’s right hand.

I wonder which crop I was looking at the other day – do my notes say?

I know I looked at a bigger panel crop — and then created a better crop.

It was the entire panel which I had added to my article on branching-message mushroom trees, after looking at the YI branching morphology in a new set of Van Der Foo images.

Likely a couple different pages/crops of this image, it took several little breakthroughs before I finally SAW the WHOLE elegant 2-panel message.

This tight crop of the tree has value, but fails to deliver the many-times-greater value of the full two panels, left & right. That’s pretty much by design, deliberately omitting the context, as ONE of the crop views; this crop was never intended to replace the bigger fuller scene. It possibly could have been this crop that I looked at to ask whether — at the time, I was surveying various images to try to argue that the YI morphology is commonplace, and wow I really proved that in this case, AWESOME outstanding example of YI morphology and proof that it’s expressed by right-limb, standing on right leg.

I discovered this Feb 26 2023. Very helpful to show decoding date in image.

See https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/14/idea-development-page-18/#Trajectory-of-Solving-Horse

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.

No other of the 75 mushroom trees have botched alignment of stem under-crossing, this looks deliberate, as if to make puzzle harder – strange.

Very botched alignment, yet definitely is the key stem.

Posting this using mobile Jetpack WordPress app. I wish I had created a post immediately with date url. In evenings, date is off by 1 , (subtract 1 from url day) so see manually written date.

Found a forgotten key date in the Egodeath Yahoo Group Nov. 14, 2001 during “branch” research – either magical thinking or no-free-will , are the two options — which sounds like the Superdeterminism post of Sep 12 2007 i think it was , where article says either Physics makes sense and is superdet else doesn’t make sense.

I wrote intensely about non-branching in 2001, not re: myth & motifs but re: Physics & Phil o Time [& control].

I was glad to find out that last night- proving that Medieval art is right; non-branching is a great, maximally relevant, appropriate way to contrast possibilism vs eternalism experiential modes/ world models of self-in-world.

I guess the first time I wrote (at length pointedly) about “branch” & non-branching in myth rather than in Physics/Time was upon return from my 3.75 year posting hiatus: Sep 2011.

Around 2001-2002 I posted several times about prince Absalom riding donkey hung in a tree branch and then javelined.

So you see the ideas connections bubbling, very early on, but not fully fruiting bodies yet.

To connect the two models of physics/time, to the contrasted art myth motifs eg antlers & vines, which I really GOT in Nov 29 2013, which is why I was so shaken for weeks then.

Bunch of things, at least 4, have to come together, else u dont rly get it.

Recognizing tree vs snake ideas as pointedly contrasted, is really the test of whether I grokked yet.

The change is NOT, like psychedelic scientists falsely say, just a change of model of self; they forget “in world”, though sometimes they are warm, when they mis-state “embodied” , when they should say “in world”.

Deserving of announcement posts: the previous breakthrough (re: a particular motif; narrow) – guy in tree holding stem higher with left hand than right hand which is closer to trunk.

Wasn’t there another motif-breakthrough before that too?

Check below https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/14/idea-development-page-18/#Trajectory-of-Solving-Horse

Check in https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/24/the-art-breakthrough-is-now-not-just-november-2020/ – im probably thinking of when I got confirmation of splayed fingers by two images: Golden Psalter Entry into Jerusalem mirroring of Peter

left leg bent was another recent motif discovery conjectured then confirmed by multiple art pieces. Deserving of a post with url that day, not made.

Why didn’t i post a date-url dedicated post about Enoch re the two celestial erections (John Rush’s dubious term ) are selecting the non-branching trees of the TWO, mirrored Y I tree pairs – i noticed perhaps the 3rd-4th time i saw this image – this was a big one, big realization/ discovery, highly valuable to confirm the theory of art & the Theory of Psilocybin Eternalism.

Interesting that Isaac in golden Psalter versus in Canterbury Psalter has left or right leg straight or bent the opposite demonstrating the principle of artist choice against numbskull art historian Erwin Panofsky, who in 1952 two letters to Wasson attempts to rob artists of all initiative and freedom and consciousness and intention, in order to shield them from meaning mushrooms: they are just helpless slaves; the prototype made me do it; I had no intention of depicting Mushrooms; the Distortion just decided to make it look like mushrooms, is his stupid, insulting cover story.

THE PROTOTYPES DEVELOPED THEMSELVES FROM PINES TO MUSHROOMS, BECAUSE SLOPPY INEPT RANDOM MEANINGLESS DISTORTION DEGRADATION, and then THE ART WORLD [not indiv artists w intent] CAME TO ACCEPT THIS DEVELOPMENT — his insane total insult of art & artists, to protect mushroom imagery (artists) from meaning mushrooms.

I wish to post a dedicated announce post with url date, as soon as I get confirmation of discovering a motif.

I did a pretty good job of that during jackpot two months like March 21 2022 into May.

Designating Main Article about f177

Notes March 11, 2023

Wrote up the following in Site Map when creating a Horses f177 section

Which of these shall be the main article about f177? the oldest? it would be the official place to copy crops from. Maybe have 1 formal, structured article w/ the crops neatly available, & then casual posts about it.

Poor URLs for All 3 Pages about Horses f177

Finding: these urls suck! No appropriate general-purpose key words! opinons: “catalan” is stupid, uninspired. “anglo” is attached to that, so ditto. Canterbury is good.

What Should I Call the Great Canterbury Psalter, Latin MS 8846

Wiki seems very clear: it is Great Canterbury Psalter. Other attempts are inconclusive so far. Suggests a URL title like:
xyz (Great Canterbury Psalter f177)

What are the 3 names and technical number of Ms per Lash? “Latin MS 8846, the Paris Eadwine Psalter. ”
https://web.archive.org/web/20111019022553/http://metahistory.org/psychonautics/Wasson/Discovery.php –
“the naming of Latin MS 8846, called the Anglo-Catalan Psalter. Because it was made in Canterbury, England, around 1180 CE, it is sometimes called the Canterbury Psalter. It was left unfinished and taken to Spain for completion, hence the odd name Anglo-Catalan.” “mushrooms of the Genus psilocybe are known to grow prolifically in Catalonia, on the southfacing slopes of the Pyrenees. But of course they also grow prolifically all over England, Wales, and Ireland.”

thats it, I AM OFFICIALLY CALLING TOTAL B.S. ON THE FOLK MYTH STORYTELLING THAT AMANITA = EUROPE, PSILOCYBIN = AMERICAS. TOTAL BS.

Paul Stamets’ book Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World[ignoring Europe] is nothing but an info blackout on the topic, he avoids & steers around the relevant topic/questions, is the bottom line true characterization of his IMPRESSIONISTIC NARRATIVE DOMINANT DISCOURSE picture-painting sleight of hand, smoke & mirrors illusion, mis-perception. iow THE MISSING CHAPTER OF ALL THE BOOKS: A Forthright Explicit Focused Discussion of Psilocybin in Europe. Hell, WE NEED SUCH A BOOK!!! LOT of catchup to do. You just have to WANT it, I proved that.

You all need to stop wanting Psilocybin to be absent from Europe.

You “entheogen scholar” dipshts all WANT Psilocybin to be absent from Europe, to have your fantasy infantile Amanita story instead, and your addicted-to-defeatedness, crybaby narrative of Big Bad Church.

This isn’t History, this isn’t Science; this is Folk Myth Storytelling Narrative.

Horsing Around But I Think I Just Scored a Hit(?!)

wouldn’t it be funny if I claim his crop of big brain = my self portrait, maybe put next to the low-iq grain-sower of f134 at Hatsis portrait.

Then I noticed his eyes [which I had carelessly repeatedly semi-noticed, but dismissed/suppressed before] – WHAT IS HE LOOKING AT?? 🤔 🤔

It finally ROSE TO CONSCIOUSNESS, “his eyes have been bugging me. wtf are you looking at, dude? 🤨 🤨 your eyes are bugging me! 😣 “

[what happened next:]

“At library hi-res site, zoom out… the tree is awful far away.

“What are the candidate targets on this bottom row…

“But why the odd jog in the floor & ceiling between rows??

“What could… could he be looking like… at foot??? !!!

“Because we already know that the guy in the Egodeath community is looking down at the right foot, so the right foot of the rightly standing balancing-by-God guy is already established as a target of looking.”

[Actually, of Eadwine the artist himself who is pointing to features in his painting to us, through painting a figure/character with eyes aimed precisely.]

!!!

!!! [that’s my 8:13 pm thought / scientific hypothesis]

8:20 as I type-up the above test to run, it occurs to me, there would then be TWO guys looking at right foot.

My over-tight crops keep messing me up, because Eadwine CROSSES NOT ONLY HORIZONTAL PANELS, BUT ACROSS THE FLOOR & CEILING TOO??!!

Well obviously I NEED TO DRW A DRAW A SHT-TONNE OF LOOKING-LINES ALL OVER THE PLACE.

Or, easy: make a text list of a full inventory of cast of characters, what is every set of eyes looking at in this entire image?? I need to just get to it and stop putting that off.

Didn’t I start doing that last night??

NEED FULL INVENTORY OF LOOKING (then eliminate eyes/people/horses, and draw lines among the target objects).

It then occurs to me: IF MY SELF-PORTRAIT BIG BRAIN GUUY IS LOOKING AT RIGHT FOOT ROW 1, THAT WOULD THEN MEAN TWO GUYS ARE LOOKING AT THE RIGHT FOOT, ….

I haven’t mentioned, the TRIANGULATION corroboration effect — I may have hinted at it:

Multiple indicators of– Multiple parity-check indicators of a communication message transmission, greatly amplifies the degree of certainty.

Also, symmetry accomplishes similar corroboration/ increase in provability/ certainty.

Announcement: I Decoded My Big Brain Problem

Confirmed: Big Brain Is Looking at Right Foot in Row 1

wow, i foolishly thought that I had mapped out the important connections.

Scientific hypothesis tested and confirmed at [9:12 p.m. March 11, 2023]: there are no other candidate looking-targets. right eye horizontal, left eye looking steeply up, average is exactly aimed at right foot in Row 1. I examined at various zooms, full screen, at the high-res library original site.

I have been recording a ton of solid spoken content today. I should not type too much.

You know– rather than drawing looking-lines, I would rather draw lines connecting the targets of looking. done: both.

Middle: Right Foot and Crutch Left Foot, with Looking-Lines

It’s no coincidence his head is exactly under a column, as if he is a column [4:14 p.m. March 12, 2023] articulating idea from earlier today during the recording-stop.

4781.wav – here i am tracking “how did I come back to saying “my half-baked “EXPLANATION” of big brain guy’s left heel” – and that got me to make more connections and have insights connecting {bad left heel} –> crutch & big brain –> {good right foot} for {balance}.

I jump from idea of hazy pseudo explanation, to “like my atempts to discuss crutch guy” – and I made the connection. 35:00.

“Here is further proof, I just got further proof, and his head presses up against the ceiling – a new network connection.

“I officially here make a position statement that I employ the Paul Thagard book Conceptual Revolutions.”

31:50 “everyone cites each other [ABOUT SAYING NO PSILOCYBIN IN ENGLAND BEFORE 1976] OR WASSON RUMORED IMPRESSION that HE RETRACTED “no mushrooms in Christianity ]

[SO #1 THING OF SCIENCE IS USEFULLY CLEAR & UNAMBIG POSITION STATEMENTS LIKE… in hazy confusion. increase the freewill fog haze… multiply that freewill fog. ” silence.

32:35: “I want to corroborate, this Day Trip to Hell, summary: bad trips not caused by set/setting, but by resisting ego dissolution.”

so here’ we’re going to build up a heap of pseudo explanation built on modules of science certainty article citations repeating “DMN, ego dissolution, resisting, neuroplasticity…. bad trips are [funny passage 33:40]

those components aren’t wrong, but don’t add up to an actual explanation either, like I was not managing to explain crutch guy in f177 there’s the “jump” topic connection where I realize… 10:29 am March 12 2023..then I do station ID / intro clip, then a bit more on “big brain guy”, then I come to type in pages.

“Another network connection!” ie I officially employ Paul Thagard’s book: 35:20 “I cite Thagard better than Kuhn.” “Theory revision” — Thagard.

4781.wav 55:00 long voice talking ends near 30:00 when thought of this; last night [Mar 11 2023] I connected his eyes to right foot, but didn’t connect his left foot directly to big brain looking at right foot conjoining right foot, big brain, left foot, and crutch.

How Is Understanding Left Foot Needing Crutch Stable?

{mytheme} = [referent] notation

{mytheme/motif} = [referent effect aspect in loosecog state]

Solution to the Problem Statement that Eadwine Presents

Solution Equations: How These Motifs Assert Cybernetic Eternalism

{left heel on tower base} + {crutch} + {big brain} = {stand right foot}

{left heel on tower base} + {crutch} + {big brain} = [(knowledge that left leg is unstable) is stable] AND [right leg is stable]

{stand right foot} = [knowledge that right leg is stable]

Most-Basic Equations

{right leg/foot/heel} = relying on eternalism-thinking

{left leg/heel/hip/foot} = relying on possibilism-thinking

eternalism-thinking = qualified possibilism-thinking

(having eternalism-thinking is tantamount to having qualified possibilism-thinking)

Solution

knowledge that left heel is unstable =
knowledge that right heel is stable

knowledge that possibilism-thinking is unstable =
knowledge that eternalism-thinking is stable

or equivalently (i don’t consider this relation to be directly depicted in the image):

knowledge that possibilism-thinking is unstable =
knowledge that qualified possibilism-thinking is stable

{left heel on tower base} is not asserting [left leg is stable] AND [right leg is stable].

That would be self-contradictory.

You get the mis-impression of the above contradiction being asserted, only if you ignore the crutch, which indicates “left leg is unstable“.

{left heel on tower base} with {crutch} and {big brain} is asserting [(knowledge that left leg is unstable) is stable] AND [right leg is stable], which is consistent.

[12:05 p.m. March 12, 2023]: the crutch is a bit weak to complete the equation, so “big brain” motif is added, saying to go a bit meta. We are not saying “left heel is stable”, we are like saying “unstable left heel is stable”.

Crutch Negating Asserting Left Heel

Do Not Read “Crutch” in any Positive Sense, it Here Means {left} [ie, possibilism-thinking] = Failure, Broken, Collapse, Incapacitated

It’s the profound difference between …. see pre/trans fallacy, ken wilber. between naive possibilism-thinking vs. qualified possibilism-thinking.

They APPEAR to be the same, but:
possibilism-thinking is opposite of eternalism-thinking.
whereas in sharp contrast,
qualified possibilism-thinking is equivalent to eternalism-thinking.

So, naive possibilism-thinking != qualified possibilism-thinking;

naive possibilism-thinking = -(qualified possibilism-thinking)
qualified possibilism-thinking = -(naive possibilism-thinking)

which brings me back to saying past cpl days, “the crutch is like a negative sign”; “left heel is not viable”. “left heel is unstable”.

[12:17 p.m. March 12, 2023]: crutch here means purely negative; lame; broken, doesn’t-work, incapable, disability. Now you appreciate why {big brain} needs to be added to the formula. “left heel made viable by the crutch” does not work, cannot be made to work! wrong reading!

Eadwine says: left heel is utterly hopeless, it is inherently the very definition of failure, doesn’t work, cannot work, beyond all repair, it’s been thrown in the furnace of descrtruction. left heel is TOTALLY ACCURSED.

No crutch can “supplement” and “repair” the phantom-power left heel. Such misuse of “crutch” motif is a wrong reading. “Wrong Answer; Try harder, big-brained viewer.”

Santa Claus doesn’t exist, but if you add a crutch, then he totally exists? No! Doesn’t work! try harder to interpret, with crutch solely indicating “LEFT IS IMPOTENT”.

Apply your big brain so as to avoid misreading “crutch makes the impossible possible, to stand on a phantom that’s designed to utterly fail.”

The crutch is a red X drawn on left heel. It says “No left heel”.

Left heel cannot support any weight, it gives freakout control fighting against itself escalating to disaster/ catastrophic loss of any effective control stability.

Adding a crutch does not change that.

Left heel on column base is a severe 100% problem and you cannot make left heel support you by adding a crutch.

We’re shown an unredeemable, incorrigible left heel, like it’s not there, ; the left heel is no heel at all; it cannot … it doesn’t exist, it’s not there, you cannot “fix” it.

See f134 image, pink guy in tree, FLOATING LEFT FOOT & HAND.

The left heel inherently floats powerless, no crutch can change or “fix” the phantom power of left heel.

Notes

He’s asserting that {big-brain knowledge that left leg is unstable} is stable.

bad crop fails toshow – yesterday I failed to comprehend connect the two feet, poor crop: valuable focus, but inadequate/ incomplete. Eadwine didn’t want me to just stop there.

Big Brain’s “looking” connects his left foot to upper level’s right foot. remember how i promised but failed, to draw lines connecting the looked-at things? Maybe I better do that, THERE IS LOT OF JUICE STILL LEFT TO SQUEEZE i am shamed / humiliated by :

yesterday I still failed to get the all most-main messages from this cybernetic communication message image.

Hatsis Portrait

[10:29 a.m. March 12, 2023] Big Brain looking at right foot means his left heel is directly taunting us, posing a puzzle interp problem to us (a problem of Eadwine is challenging the viewer:

“Question: Identifiy the referent: what aspect of high dose Psilocybin effect is analogous to this imagery motif combination?

How can I be asserting both, right leg stable, left leg unstable in Row 1, yet in Row 2, I appear to assert left leg stable (detail: crutch)”

[ans: he is not asserting left leg stable; he’s asserting that {big-brain knowledge that left leg is unstable} is stable]

… as “you guys got a big problem, requiring big brain to solve”,

throws down gauntlet at us, b/c he is looking at row 1 foot that says “only right foot is viable”, yet he’s left foot relying on stable column base. (and has crutch for left leg, btw detail).

his brain so big pressing AGAINST THE row 2 CEILING = row 1 FLOOR.

Jerry Brown is right – you MUST have hi-res images here to determine / prove what eyes are looking at.

Blurry is usually very misleading (whites/pupils of eyes distorted).

from naive possibilism-thinking to eternalism-thinking which includes qualified possibilism-thinking such that eternalism-thinking is equivalent to qualified possibilism-thinking;

eternalism-thinking = qualified possibilism-thinking

right foot = crutch + left foot = stable control in high dose Psilocybin state = eternalism experiential mode

Spoken Idea Development Insight Connecting Big Brain Right Foot & Left Foot

wow! unexpected. figured out glimmer of this seed of this realization while voice recording reading about Petter Johnstad’s Day Trip to Hell where he says:

IT’S A MYTH THAT BAD TRIPS ARE DUE TO SET & SETTING; THEY ARE DUE TO RESISTING EGO DISSOLUTION

but that is not the idea that made me realize this big brain guy interpretation – I’ll have to replay voice recording to see my sequence of thoughts, tape rolling on that recording 4781.wav.

What sequence of topics was I ranting on, that led …

28:00 – Paul Stamets NEVER DISCUSSES THE TOPIC AS A SCOPED TOPIC, OF PSILOCYBIN IN EUROPE ENGLAND (or w Religion).

Don’t b.s. me, a couple fragmented half-sentences where *I* have to do the authoring work to REWRITE STAMETS BOOK to forcibly pin him down and FORCE him to discuss the TOPIC, as a topic, grab his head and FORCE him to ADDRESS THE DAMNED TOPIC: WHAT *IS* YOUR POSITION STATEMENT ON THIS *TOPIC* of Psilocybin in europe?

Why is Letcher & Hatsis & Stamets in cahoots to IMPRESSIONISTIC NARRATIVE FOLK CRUDE MYTH-TELLING STORYTELLING PICTURE-PAINTING of Amanita = Europe, Psilocybin = Americas.

Instead of #1 quality of “Science” is CLEAR TREATMENTS OF TOPICS (not “experiments”).

Why is Staments AS UNCLEAR AS HE COULD POSSIBLY BE on the topic of Psilocybin in Europe/England(/W religion)?

He is constinutionally incapble of thinking that topic.

Petter Johnstad’s Day Trip to Hell: “Bad trips are not caused by set and setting. Bad trips are caused by resisting ego dissolution.” (

A heap of groupthink pseudo-explanation = “psychedelic science”, a foundation of mud.

We know this, as Science building-blocks that are certain, because of our circle-journal citation fest — “Everyone else says “default mode network = unity nondual complete mystical esxpeirence ego dissolution resistance set and setting causes bad trips”, SO IT MUST BE TRUE.”

DON’T ROCK THE BOAT. PLAY ALONG, pretending this dust-and-smoke activity constitutes “the light of science”, brick building blocks constructing our towering sky-castle

Articles cite each other and spew and regurgitate the same Science Folk Fairytale Pretended Explanations.

Every tenth article warns that the articles citing each other are all wrong:

“My group’s research article proves that it’s a myth that DMN reduces cognitive activity.”

“My group’s research article proves that it’s a myth that set and setting is the cause of bad trips.”

“My group’s research article proves that there is no determinate relation between cognitive experiencing and brain scans.”

“My group’s research article proves that PSYCHEDELIC SCIENCE IS PSEUDO-EXPLANATION.”

But they have no idea what to do to ground their sky-castle of circle-journal citation fest, floating off on a cloud of unicorn gas, so they just ignore the articles that say emperor no clothes, and keep churning out –

They cite each other twice as much to compensate for the erroneous nature of all the articles.

“Since the articles are known to be wrong, we’ll compensate by citing more of them.“

I call for a Complete Reset in my end of my 2006 Plainc aritcle: I call for “STOP DISCUSSING WASSON AND ALLEGRO; MOTHBALL ALL OF THAT, stop making that our “foundation”

TAKE A COMPLETELY FRESH START in asking: Extent Psilocybin Western history/ Europe/England?

Force Paul Stamets to talk about that topic-scope as such!

Stamets has said NOTHING on this topic, don’t B.S. me:

If I have to rewrite his book to glean & extract & gather a proper section on this topic, then that just proves my point:

STAMETS (OR GUZMAN) HAS NEVER WRITTEN ANY REAL SECTION ABOUT THE EXTENT OF PSILOCYBIN IN EUROPE/ENGLAND/WESTERN HISTORY.

HE HAS NEVER DELIVERED ANY POSITION STATEMENT SUMMARY ON THIS TOPIC.

Scattered CARELESS fragments that somehow it falls of ME to gather and glean, just proves my point.

It is a myth that Western religion lacks Psilocybin, and we need to stop avoiding the topic – that is my message in my article on branching-message mushroom trees.

We don’t know anything.

We have never asked the question.

We have never made proper position staetments on this matter.

What we have is folk crude rough myth-level narrative impressionistic picture-painting

We do not have any …

“See Brinckmann’s little 1906 book in German“, a quote echoing from Panofsky, 46 years out of date in 1952, now 117 years out of date, 86 pages, NOTHING!

WE HAVE NO SCHOLARSHIP ON PSILOCYBIN IN W RELIGION – why not??

And why does no one have ANY interest at all, on this topic?

Why are everyone, re: entheogen scholarship, CRAZED about AMANITA madness enthusiasm (as Hatsis rightly condemns), yet no one has even the slightest interest in ingesting Amanita?! or doing any Musicmol research, WTFF!! Something is very, entirely out of joint here!!

What we have like Hatsis says, is MYTH.

Folk myth taken as if scientific position statements.

Cite the entire body of scholarship on Psilocybin in Europe/England/Western religion in my branching-message mushroom trees article. Cite M Hoffman 2015 toxicology “Someone oughta consider Psilocybin in mystery religions [because our theory that Amanita was the engine of mystery religions has proven so sound and rewarding and has caused so much vigorous, engaged research into musicmol, and people using and tying ingesting it] 😵

Every entheogen scholar is fanatical and madly obsessed (per Hatsis) about storytelling about how Amanita is the source of all myth and religion and gnosis and everything…. yet no one has even the tiniest interest in any actual investigation. It’s strictly about a narrative dominant discourse; impressionistic story-painting, only – not seriously intended scholarship and vigorous, sincere investigation.

Letcher Hatis and Stamets paint an impressionist painting narrative, THERE WAS NO PSILOCYBIN IN ENGLAND BEFORE 1976.

I’m sure, it’s a sure-bet prediction: if you pin them down & interrogate them, they’ll flip the football field so as to flip the goalpost, and claim: “I never asserted there was no [whatever, fill in the blank with fog, oatmeal-mouthed, prevarication, double-talk]…

… like Wasson writing: “I once said no msh in bible, I retract what I said.” Ppl then read the impressionistic painting and claim: “Wasson retracted his denial of Plaincourault. 😑 ” (see my 2006 Plainc article Egodeath.com, see Irvin book the Holy Msh).

What the f exactly are you and are you not, asserting??!! BE CLEAR. BE SPECIFIC. WHAT ARE YOU ASSERTING, EXACTLY? WHAT ARE YOU NOT ASSERTING, EXACTLY?

This is not scholarship! This is bluster & story-repeating; meme propagation!

Clouds of dust & smoke, passing for “entheogen scholarship”.

Due to Default Mode Network, neuroplasticity, ego dissolution, nondual unity oneness, Complete [Newbie] Mystical Experience[TM], blah blah

Resisting ego dissolution causes bad trips, as validated by CEQ’s psychometics science, per the solid foundation of Walter Stace out of print 1960 book, if you are skeptical about this “scientific basis foundation”[per Studerus 2010], then I will throw William James at you to shut you up.

btw not in recording, I might cite Society of Mind 1985, to spite latecomer Metzinger. SoM says in one page what Metz says in 300 pages, without Metz’ dubious take on “so here’s what we need to do to revise society”.

Jonathan Bricklin’s good book title asserts that eternalism = enlightenment in altered state;

per Bricklin, James’ “Pragmatism” means, like I say, favor the OSC over ASC …

I do not advocate eternalism as conduct of life in mundane state.

I advocate qualified possibilism-thinking for mundane daily life conduct of life state.

I DIDN’T SAY THESE POINTS IN THE RECORDING, BUT IT’S THE CLUSTER OF TOPICS LIKE THIS THAT PRODUCED THE JUMP TO MR BIG BRAIN DECODING]

oh good I remember what I was going to type in Idea Dev p:

The Specialness of the Ram Is Its Ability to Get Itself Caught in a Thicket Helplessly

Ram Seizure: Ram Thicket Seizure Trap Ego Death & Rebirth

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.

History of Development of My {ram caught helplessly in branching thicket} Explanation

That’s my big deepening of insight, around [6:00 p.m. March 12, 2023].

I can’t say that this is a wholly new idea, been writing about “ram caught in bush” for many years.

Search-link format: scroll to bottommost, oldest search hit archive page first: deluge of false hits on “bush”:

June 25, 2003 (< Valentines 2004, therefore it’s copied to Egodeath.com)
Subject: To regain stable self-control, accept covenant/deal
https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/egodeath-yahoo-group-digest-38/#message1910 —

Entire message copy: starts by quoting my 1908# post:

Post 1908 excerpt within Post 1910

“When your usual accustomed freewill-oriented ways of thinking utterly fail
you and self-control goes profoundly unstable, because you see the truth —
the gorgon-like, soul-demolishing “face of God” — what is the viable way to
conceive of one’s relationship as illusory, secondary-only control-agent with
respect to the primary, transcendent, uncontrollable controller? …

“The long, subtle, advanced answer is

“Acknowledge the uncontrollable transcendent controller and relate to it in a way that is largely isomorphic with an infant’s relation to its nurturing mother, but realize that the Godhead transcends such personal archetypes.”

/ end of my 1908 excerpt; my post 1910 expands, adding “bush-tangled ram”:

“Another standard metaphor or archetype — missed by Metzner — is covenant or bargain.

The Unfolding Self: Varieties of Transformative Experience
Ralph Metzner
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/textbooks/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?isbn=1579830005

“God brings the mystic to truth, and makes a covenant, deal, or bargain with
the mystic: the mystic sacrifices to God, and in return, God gives enduring
stable self-controllership to the mystic.

“The mystic gets to retain stable, viable, practical self-control even though the mystic knows that their controllership is merely a virtual power of self-direction from a merely conventional but logically flawed perspective — secondary controllership only.

The mystic is made by God to sacrifice to God, where the sacrifice is a kind
of human sacrifice, a self-sacrifice of one’s lower self, or egoic mental
worldmodel about self, will, time, world, and control.

“In this sacrifice, the mystic is the priest who offers the human sacrifice, and is the sacrificial victim.

“That’s the real, original, direct and underlying sacrifice — sacrificing a sheep [ram caught in thicket -cm Mar 12 2023], goat, child, or human is merely a symbol of the real sacrifice, which is the sacrifice of one’s own freewill thinking.

The sacrifice of animals [ram caught in thicket] represents the sacrifice of the delusion of prime-mover, self-directing, freewill agency.

The mythic-only figure of Jesus willingly and obediently giving himself as a
sacrifice on the cross is a fully adequate symbol for any intelligent being to
use, if they desire a symbol.

“No symbolic action is needed to “use” this symbol, other than the action of understanding and recognizing the meaning of the symbol of the king on the cross.

“To “use” the symbol and “participate in it”, you don’t need to kneel, pray, or say anything, just recognize and comprehend the meaning.

“Other mythic figures also express this meaning, such as Abraham’s sacrifice of the bush-tangled ram in place of his son [a bit literal – cm] through whom Abraham’s “branch” or blessed line of viable continued future existence continues.

“Abraham essentially was brought by God into a covenental, bargain, or deal arrangement with God:

“Abraham is made to sacrifice animals [ram more caught helplessly in thicket the more the effort] to God and in return God preserves Abraham’s future, where the person “Abraham” includes all of Abraham’s future (spiritual) offspring.

“From a practical point of view, what should you do [rewrite in passive voice] when you realize the terrible truth that you are totally vulnerable to the mysterious hidden alien uncontrollable transcendent controller?

“Mentally accept the covenant or deal offered to you by the transcendent controller: you will sacrifice your freewill delusion to the transcendent controller, and in return, the transcendent controller will return stable self-control to you.

“The cybernetic theory of ego death is an important contribution because all
the mythicists and entheogenists and determinists and no-historical-Jesus
scholars and mysticism scholars are failing to see what is closest to them:
myth-mysticism-religion is centrally a matter of discovering, coping with, and
responding to no-free-will.

“What are the terms of the [1-way] covenant of the gods or of God?

“Repudiate the freewill delusion, and get stable and robustly enduring self-control.

“All other covenantal terms are merely indirect, metaphorical symbols of this
relationship.”

[6:49 pm p.m. March 12, 2023] there are three pointless loiterers, feed them to the furnace monster.

FEET INVENTORY TIME 🖼🔬🔍🧐

[6:53 p.m. March 12, 2023] what WHAT ABOUT 🙃 [discovery micro-log: why did i think of that? b/c I zoomed the hi-res site, looking at the 3 feet of the pointless loiterers, and the feet of the rams, then I puzzled for a minute WHY ARE THE RAMS’ FEET TOUCHING RED BAR DIVIDER CEILING LIKE BIG BRAIN’S HEAD TOUCHES CEILING?? 🤔 🤔 Well from their pov it’s the floor, see if you imaging flip 180 degress, … .. … .. … AM I INSANE? WHICH LEG? and f134 has UPSIDE DOWN guy in tree. And the crowd has no feet.

THIS IS NO This is not the first time I ever looked at/ thought about their feet, but that’s how it typically works:

I first consider a problem, scratch my head for two days a day or two about that specific problem and a bunch of others, and then I look again in some context for some reason or other, and THEN it comes to me.

I have been working (a few cpu cycles) on the {ram feet} problem for some 5 days maybe. A few cycles a day.

Forgot about that issue/question.

Now it comes back, that i been wondering what to make of their feet.

How I came to the above a few minutes ago –

Here’s the lead-in events:

At top of my new page, I wrote “Todo: 100 words max about each crop, telling how it describes by analogy, how it is analogous to transformation from possibilism to eternalism by driving that by control-instability like three thicket-caught rams.

Then I searched the Egodeath Yahoo Group to see when I posted “a ram gets caught in a thicket”. June 25, 2003 (only a mention, there, not deep).

I looked a few minutes ago before resorting to the the Egodeath Yahoo Group search: I have written not (alas) in 2006 main article about ram caught in thicket/bush by its own power.

Today, the past past hour or two, I’m thinking more and more that “ram caught in thicket” is very special and powerful and needs heavy spotlight attention during explaining control stability.

That’s why I was inclined to look more at the feet…. I *HAVE* been working hard, consciously/deliberately, on Pointless Loiterers’ feet interpretation …. not QUITE going to the extreme of listing a list of their feet positions.

Society of Mind — it’s not like I used my hardcore reading techniques in 1985 and read it cover to cover — but, it was welcome & green light, supportive.

d/k how much i dabbled in flipping through Minsky’s book in 1985-1989, def’ly in there somewhere I felt supported “Marvin Minsky actually agrees supports me!” “So, keep going in this direction.”

also ~7:00 pm 40 min ago, i CONSCIOUSLY NOTICED FOR FIRST TIME, THAT THER. ARE 3 RAMS AND 3 POINTLESS LOITERERS and been son wondering “why 3 rams”. “ON A TOTALLY SEP TOPIC, why 3 loiterers??” Only finally today (day 8??) i said HEY WHAT ABOUT 3 RAMS = 3 LOITERERS? “silly idea”

Then I see the red cap symmetry in the … when i made that crop 5 min ago, i thought “this will be low-value crop”. But I DIDN’T NOTICE SYMMETRY to back up my silly conjecture 3 loiters = 3 rams, until i flipped it.

SO GLAD I WENT AHEAD W/ FLIPPING THAT center-STRIP! Notice how I decided (on previous nonn-fllipped crop of ceiling/floor) to include big Brain.

oh fck 7:45 I JUST NOW — STUPID!!! I JUST NOW NOTICED THE ultra-obvious, that right-balancing guy is standing on the stable tower. 😵 OMG

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!

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.

Why the Effective and Best Title Is Great Canterbury Psalter

People Rightly Rejected the Titles “Anglo-Catalan, Paris Eadwine, Latin MS 8846”

For my high-commitment URL decision, I am going against John Lash and following Wikipedia instead, in calling it the “Great Canterbury Psalter“.

Due-diligence sufficient research suggests that if I say “Great Canterbury Psalter” everyone correctly understands what I’m referring to.

If I say another of the other 3 titles, everyone is confused.

And like everyone else, I have reasons to like “Great Canterbury Psalter” better than the other 3 titles.

This psalter:

• It is Great.
• It is from Canterbury.
  • Everyone knows what “Canterbury” means.
  • The Catalan art was added later and is worthless.
  • Paris is irrelevant.
  • No one knows “Eadwine”.
  • No one knows the MS number, 8846.
• It is a Psalter.

I’ve spent hours researching Lash’s claims about 4-5 titles of conflated psalters, and an hour discussing the results in voice recordings potentially for Egodeath Mystery Show; IT’S A FKKING MESS! exactly as Lash says — but like most people, I reject his solution, “the Paris Eadwine psalter”.

Lash doesn’t help his case by suddenly, silently switching to calling it “the Paris psalter” 3-4 times in one section, then switching back (silently) to acting as if the title is “the Paris Eadwine psalter”.

LASH HIMSELF USES INDETERMINATE, PREVARICATING TITLING! HE CAN’T EVEN MAKE UP HIS OWN MIND but he switchES SILENTLY between 2-3 different titles, and he makes various mistakes too, interwoven with such usage, saying eg “Jesus is shown inviting mushrooms”, in the scene God Creates Plants.

Lash is great in that he rejects Amanita and advocates Psilocybin strongly. He even criticizes his idol Wasson re: “Wasson’s specific theory” that all religion spread from a single, Ural mountains Amanita cult”.

This tells you how very, very strongly Lash rejects Amanita and advocates Psilocybin, because Lash is in love with Wasson and would only with great reluctance say anything about his love-interest who he obsequiously fawns over and glorifies as if Wasson is the Creator of Mushrooms.

Lash literally says Wasson is the creator of the word ‘entheogen’ and of the entheogen theory, etc.

Sure, hidden in his error-filled, misleading end notes (eg “psychomimetics … mind mimicking”, “Wasson coined ‘entheogens’), 1 time out of 10, Lash corrects his misrepresentation — then goes right back to spreading his misrepresentation 10 more times — typical narrativizing dynamics.

His outright GLORIFICATION of Wasson *THE* Great man is nauseating, and thank God no one else goes this over-the-top in Wasson-worship as John Lash – yet he criticizes and rejects “Wasson’s specific theory” – basically, the very Pop Amanita theory that Hatsis rightly attacks.

Thomas Hatsis severely overcorrects, hard-conflating “mushrooms” and “Amanita”, and says no Christian ever used The Mushroom (🍄).

Along with Paul “refuse to consider it” Stamets and Andy Letcher, Hatsis spreads the very FALSE MYTH of “no Psilocybin in Europe or W religion”.

Hatsis bizarrely fails to attack Wasson and Ruck and Heinrich who are at least as guilty of the Amanita Primacy Fallacy as Hatsis’ closeted-worshipped love-interest Allegro).

Hatsis rejects both “Wasson’s specific theory” and what Lash labels as “Wasson’s general theory” (well it gets complicated, re: Wasson’s self contradiction about entheogens in Christianity.

People can’t even agree whether Wasson asserts entheogens in Christianity or not (he doesn’t — though he does, or appears to, or says he does, but vaguely, prevaricating, etc etc ….)

Lash is proven highly untrustworthy, and highly deviant from everyone else: he is the ONLY person to say “psychomimetics, mimic the mind”; he is the ONLY person to put Wasson worship above the field: every time he mentions psycehdelics in religion, his main concern is to hand 100% of ownership of the idea to Wasson.

John Lash is more interested in handing over 100% ownership of “psychedelics in religion” to Wasson, than he is in the topic of psychedelics of religion.

Carl Ruck is more interested in fetishizing “secrecy”, “elite”, “suppression”, and doing theoretical academic Anthropology, than he is in Amanita.

Terence McKenna is more interested in self-aggrandizing defeatism crybabying about the Big Bad Church, than in 1) strategy to repeal Prohibition, or 2) striving to find Psilocybin in Christianity.

More hours of strained and strenuous re-titling activism or research is not going to change that fact.

Great news is, Wiki has gone with “Great Canterbury Psalter”, which is the pleasant, practical, … and it nicely throws the uninspired, unworthy, worthless Catalan art in the trashcan.

The title “Great Canterbury Psalter” is FAR better and more pleasant and on-topic than the poor, confusing, noxious, technical alternatives, which explains why people — against Lash — have committed to this meaning-definition of the titles of psalters.

Given that, per Lash, there is massive ubiquitous confusion, the upside is, we get to pick what title definitions we want, since THERE IS NO CONSENSUS from a technical POV.

The lack of consensus technically, frees us up to DO THE SENSIBLE PLEASANT AMENABLE smooth-sailing choice.

I support the direction that Wiki takes it, among the LACK OF EXPERTS CONSENSUS.

Given that (as usual) the experts f’d up in their titling, as Lash reports, then it defaults to PRACTICALITY and EASE OF USE and RELEVANCE, which means that the title “Great Canterbury Psalter” wins hands-down — the naive popular wording that’s easy and clear and commonly understood, is objectively superior to the confused, contradictory, indeterminate non-titling, THE FAILURE OF THE EXPERTS TO ESTABLISH ANY DETERMINATE TITLES.
