Abstract

This set of medieval art images uses {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} motifs to describe by analogy how the mind changes in the loose cognitive state from psilocybin.

The Egodeath theory, the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism, or the Theory of Psychedelic Cybernetic Eternalism includes the Mytheme theory, which explains {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} motifs.

{branching} and {handedness} Motifs

In Medieval art, branching-message mushroom trees use added branches and cut branches to diagrammatically represent the difference between the two mental world models: the initial, temporary, perishable, transient branching model and egoic steersman ({king steering in tree}) vs. the subsequent non-branching, mature, durable, altered-state compatible model: {snake frozen in rock}.

Mushroom trees don’t simply depict mushrooms. Mushroom trees depict the non-branching experiential mental worldmodel that results from mushrooms. That’s why artists added branches to mushrooms (along with cut branches). Identifying this meaning of mushroom trees answers Erwin Panofsky’s 2nd letter, regarding “at least traces of ramification”, in [Brown 2019].

YI and YO Tree Morphology

YI tree morphology: A tree or a tree pair that has YI morphology means branching on left, non-branching on right. A given element of a tree can be both branching and non-branching, because whether a point on a tree is branching or not is relative to a specific scope of analysis within the image.

Recursive/fractal YI morphology analysis: Repeated-scale pattern of assigning relatively branching (bad) and non-branching (good). Internal micro-branching within a branch (Eustace window). A morphology analysis must sweep up and down, left and right, with independent analysis in each scope.

YO tree morphology: The cap or crown is a non-branching zone, and almost never contains branching. The cap sits on top of one or more stems, so it enables moving upward from a non-branching trunk or stem, to multiple branches, to returning to a single non-branching cap.

YO tree morphology: The cap or crown is considered non-branching, and almost never contains branching. The cap sits on top of one (non-branching) stem or multiple (branching) stems. The cap, as a single terminator of a branch, enables moving upward from a non-branching trunk or stem at the bottom of the branch, to optionally splitting into multiple branches and yet returning to a single, non-branching cap zone.

The crown can be a leaf, egg, mushroom cap, or triangle, and can be held up by a single stem or multiple stems. The crown can contain a grid of leaves or caps (“omphalos pattern” per [Lash 2008]), and those inner caps can include dangling fruit or raised, branching arms.

Equivalence of implementations: A branch that terminates in a single crown, of any shape, is equivalent to a cut branch. A YI tree pair is equivalent to a YI tree.

St. Eustace Crossing the River (Chartres Cathedral)

Figure 1. Mâle, p. 3, The sky, water and trees. From the Legend of St. Eustace. Window at Chartres. Image sharpening by Michael Hoffman 2006.

Features:

  1. Gestures affirming non-branching, I branch of the YI tree.
  2. At micro scale, trees 2, 3, and 4 have a cut right trunk.
  3. Branching cubensis tree on left, non-branching on right (a YI tree pair).
  4. Branching tree on Eustace’ left, non-branching on right.
  5. Eustace’ child carried away while crossing a river.
  6. Lion’s left heels up, right heels down.
  7. [7:47 a.m. March 19, 2023]: tree 4 is a YI tree, so this diagram demonstrates on the left (tree 1 + 2), that you can express a YI pair implemented with 2 trees, and tree 4 shows YI implemented, equivalently, by a single tree. So, [8:11 a.m. March 19, 2023] his left (bad) hand is positively gesturing at the I (good) of tree 4, to be read in local scope as good from our POV; THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE PROPERLY COMPREHENDED THE YI THEORY IN THIS IMAGE.
  8. YI analysis stacks vertically or horizontally and applies at local scope; this means that the rightmost tree [12:42 am p.m. March 19, 2023]’s upper level reads as branching (bad) on left, and non-branching (good) on right. At tree-pair level, the rightmost tree is “bad” (attached to his left hand; it’s his left tree = branching). But within local scope of isolated rightmost tree, the lower cap veering to our right is “good” and the other two, higher crowns form a Y, which is “bad” b/c branching. But again, in the scope of the upper part of that tree, the left crown with 2 black lines is left and therefore “bad” and branching, and the right crown is “good” and “non-branching”. [wow I’m surprised, I applied now my recent jump in sophistion of YI morphology theory, i thought there was nothing to say about the right tree except “it has a bunch of branching, in contrast to tree 3.” Internal YI morphology…. ie, variable scope of analysis, FRACTAL QUALITY repeated-scale pattern of assigning relatively branching (bad) and non-branching (good). DRAW DIAGRAM? Fractal YI Morphology Analysis.
  9. Most of Eustace’ weight is on right leg.
  10. Y/I clover formations on the mountain.
  11. On the micro scale, the trees have traces of branching (black line under cap or crown) and cut right trunk.
  12. Clover YI pairs are only on the mountain, not on the plain. 3 YI pairs and 1 IY pair.

Exerting Possibilism-Premised Control Causes Loss of Control, which Produces the Eternalism Model

Psilocybin switches the mental world model of control and possibilities from possibilism to eternalism; from possibility branching to eternity non-branching. Asserting the possibilism mental worldmodel when in the loose cognitive state causes control instability and loss of control, and produces the eternalism mental worldmodel.

Norbert Wiener [1948] drew attention to Maxwell’s paper “On Governors” [1868]. Maxwell’s is the first paper on control theory. Maxwell is the father of control theory. Maxwell’s paper “On Governors” is the origin of stability analysis. [Kang 2016]

The unscientific, folk knowledge of “surrender to the experience” and “accept your lack of control” (Janikian 2019, Houot 2019) is a crude, unformed way of partly reconciling with the eternalism experiential mode, but it doesn’t succeed at getting the treasure of mental model transformation, and comprehending what’s going on. We’re left with “ineffability” and vague sense of a degree of regeneration, but it’s incomplete, unfinished, and unfulfilling, while also dangerous, high turbulence, and traumatizing — not very healing.

There are efforts to truly understand the real cause and resolution of bad trips (Johnstad 2021, “resisting ego dissolution”; Houot 2019: “mystical surrenderism instead of shamans’ technology of control”). The highest, most profound cause of bad trips is that the mind is designed to, when exposed to loose cognition, transform from possibilism to eternalism, in which the model of control and world transforms out from under you.

The more you exert (and and observe and test) possibilism-premised control, the more you go unstable and lose effective, viable control. “Control harder” (in the usual way) causes loss of control [Watts 1960].

Teaching and Testing Students About Control Re-Stabilizing (Image f134)

Figure 1. Teaching and examining students about control re-stabilization prior to psilocybin banqueting, including advanced analogies of handedness and non-branching. Row 1 Left, image f134, Canterbury Psalter [Lash 2008].

Recursive scope: When considered as the right-hand branch or leaf of a Y (as when cut branch 3 or leaf 3), branch 2 or leaf 2 maps to eternalism-thinking = stable control.

todo: reframe section is for purpose of talking about these crops, explain whats going on, whats he teaching?

entry jeru = Rev 22, we come through the gate to city of God to eat from fruit year round of tree of life, bracketing w/ closure completion the “prohib” motif Gen 2-3.

Flip Gen 2-3 into Rev 22 come back through the Psilocybin gate.

The elect only, are made able to go in and out through the angel fire guarded gate.

A gate is for passing through, by giving key password, of removed cleansed new garment.

The gate is not open for everyone: if you are a literalist, for you, Prohibition.

YOU are not allowed gate passage or Psilocybin.

Psilocybin gate passage to the tree of life is prohibited to YOU if you are an inferior anti-Christianity narrative pusher loser like McKenna.

The gate is open only to those who are sophisticated superior people with coherent thinking to obviously read an obvious esoteric document in esoteric correct mode.

If you are superior/ elect, you know is Christianity/ Bible is to give regeneration/ eucharist/ salvation to you, to the elect, only, to permit the elect through the gate to eat the Psilocybin fruit.

So are you those on the outside, who hold “Bible = Prohibition, a gate that is pointlessly permanently closed”?

Or are you among those on the inside , who hold “Bible = Psilocybin, gate = passable”?

The angel-guarded, loss of control {fire guarded} gate, {blade sword} keeps out the unworthy, non-elect, who are confused, who misread Genesis 2-3 as rank, vulgar Prohibition and who advocate that incomplete misreading that calls God a liar for saying “You will die when you eat the Psilocybin.”

Phases of Mental Model Transformation

The foundation for identifying the referent of myth is the basic model of the trajectory of mental model transformation across the two states of consciousness. This basic model is the point of reference to map mythemes and motifs to.

The mind works in four phases of development to the mature form that’s suitable to go in and out of the psilocybin loose cognitive state.

Phase 1. Ordinary state (tight cognition & possibilism experiencing); the possibilism mental worldmodel.

Possibilism-thinking. Ordinary state of consciousness: tight cognition gives the possibilism experiential mode, which produces possibilism-thinking.; the “possibilism” mental worldmodel.

Phase 2. Ordinary state (tight cognition & possibilism experiencing), the eternalism mental worldmodel.

Teaching eternalism-thinking. The tight cognitive state ordinary state of consciousness: education during the tight cognitive state to learn the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism, including the mental model transformation process; learn eternalism-thinking ; the eternalism mental worldmodel. This instruction is the lesser mysteries; candidate training.

Instruction to prepare for the turbulence of making the structural transformation to shift weight from left to right foot; to transfer reliance for personal control from possibilism-thinking to eternalism-thinking in the heat of the actual loose cognitive state.

Phase 3. Altered state (loose cognition & eternalism experiencing), the eternalism mental worldmodel.

The loose cognitive state brings the eternalism experiential mode, which produces eternalism-thinking, and builds on the preparatory education. The greater mysteries.

Phase 4. Ordinary state (tight cognition & possibilism experiencing), the qualified possibilism mental worldmodel, along with the eternalism mental worldmodel.

The completed initiate has qualified possibilism-thinking along with eternalism-thinking. The qualified possibilism mental worldmodel. Tight cognition (tightcog) gives the possibilism experiential mode. The mind has been {perfected}, {regenerated}, {cleansed}, and {reborn}: the mental model is reconfigured to be equipped to enter the altered state; the psilocybin loose cognitive association binding state (loosecog).

God Creates Plants (Golden Psalter) – Genesis 1:11-12

Figure 1. God Creates Plants (Golden Psalter).

Features:

  1. The message on the right is between an I and Y [9:31 p.m. March 25, 2023]. God is the creator of branching illusion, non-branching reality, and mushrooms that reveal the difference.
  2. The message in the middle goes across a YI tree.
  3. Left tree has right cut trunk; YI.
  4. God’s right-hand two fingers are pressed together, non-branching.

Amanita Is the Billboard for Psilocybin

The simplest explanatory theory: Amanita imagery in religious art (or texts) means ingesting Psilocybin, the same as in contemporary culture.

The Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism, or the Theory of Psilocybin Eternalism in particular, replaces the Amanita paradigm and the Amanita Primacy Fallacy by an explanatory framework that is useful, successful, relevant, and effective.

Switch from “Amanita, Christianity, Surface Form, Low Esotericism” to “Psilocybe, Greek + Christian, Cognitive Effects, High Esotericism”.

Tree of Knowledge – Genesis 2:16-17 & Genesis 3

Strategy: interleave Genesis & Revelation inverse verses.

Genesis 2:16-17 — https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=gen+2%3A16-17&version=NIV

Genesis 3 — https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203&version=NIV

Revelation 22 — https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2022&version=NIV

God asserts that when you ingest the fruit, you die. The snake asserts that when you ingest the fruit, you don’t die, but gain wisdom. Avoid the literalist reading, which must be wrong, because it claims that God asserts a falsehood.

To repeal Prohibition, switch from literalist reading to an esoteric analogy reading of all terms, such as: “naked” (vulnerable to loss of control), “fruit”, “tree”, “knowledge of good and bad” [Ziony Zevit 2013] and “eyes opened” (meta-perception to watch mental functioning of control-agency).

“Because you have eaten the fruit, the snake will bite your heel.”

On psilocybin, the block universe worldline, pre-existing, is perceptible, forcing thoughts into the mind, destroys the presumed foundation for personal control: a fatal snakebite, for egoic possibilism-thinking.

Literalist entheogen scholarship who leap to wallow in a self-defeating literalist out of context reading-into the Genesis 2-3 a 20th a C drug prohibition (for the strategic logic of righteous self-defeatism), must ignore God’s fallacious statement and ignore the OTHER garden gate bracketing the very end of the Bible where we are permitted through the gate to the tree of life.

God who entheogen scholars emphatically and falsely assert is a drug prohibitionist, permits coming through the gate to the tree of life into the city exactly isomorphic with the garden of Eden.

You cannot discuss the angel flaming sword gate in the walled garden of Eden preventing the permitted tree of life (as entheogen scholars always make sure to do), without also discussing its mirror, the walled city gate and angel conditionally allowed through the gate into God’s presence to eat of the tree of life, if garments (mental world model) are washed clean (of possibility branching, left-foot-standing).

To prevent Adam from coming back into the garden to eat from the tree which God permitted eating from in Gen 2:16 (tree of life/immortality), God placed a gate-guard, angel with flaming sword, to perpetually eternally prevent man from ever, ever eat from tree of life

BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT FKKING BIBLE YOU GUYS ARE READING, BECAUSE *MY* BIBLE SAYS WE ARE BROUGHT BACK THROUGH THE GATE TO EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF LIFE — BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT YOU’RE INTERESTED IN READING, YOU DRUG-PROHIBITIONIST ADDICTS, ENTHEOGEN SCHOLARS.

Thomas Hatsis is the anti- mushroom psychedelic witch.

Similarly, entheogen scholars are the anti-esoteric sealers of the gate to the fruit of the tree of life.

They use their exoteric reading which they eagerly enjoy applying, to weld shut the gate, against Rev 22’s opening of the gate.

Drug prohibitionist entheogen scholars’ favorite strategy for self-defeat, is to assert exoteric reading into Genesis 2-3.

God didn’t close down the gate and seal it; God put a gate guard: angel with flaming sword. Flame means self-control threat.

To get through the gate to eat like Revelation at end of bible, must endure loss of control, Revelation 22: 2:

Entheogen scholars are determined to assert perpetual Prohibition, ignoring Rev 22, “No longer will there by any curse.”

“On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

“No longer will there be any curse.

“The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.

“They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. … The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.

“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

“Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.”

Entheogen Scholars Always Conceal, Never Reveal, and they Seal the Gate Permanently

It’s as lopsided as talking about “conceal” without also talking about “reveal”. Entheogen scholars only care about concealing, never revealing — a half story.

You cannot talk about your drug prohibition you project onto Gen 2-3 at the very start start of the Bible where we are sent wrong way through the gate guarded by the angel with fire-sword, and snake bites heel when your ingest Psilcobyin, and because because you eat thefruit of the tree of knowledge of good and bad, …

without at the same time talking about Revelation 22 at the very end of the Bible, where we are told to come back through the gate back to God and back to the tree of life.

Stop telling a half-story of drug prohibition, the story of the entheogen scholars, the Prohibitionist Narrative always asserted by entheogen scholars.

Repeal of psilocybin prohibition, or continued prohibition, is in the hands of entheogen scholars: get your priorities straight:

Either continue the defeatism and literalist incoherent, incomplete reading of the Bible, perpetuating Prohibition and moral self-elevation by asserting God is a rank drug prohibitionist (this is only strategic toward perpetuating Prohibition),

or, take a winning attitude, win on every front, including theology leveraging what the Bible says, in the right, cleansed, coherent, esoteric reading.

Either God is a liar (Genesis 2:17: you will certainly die when you eat the fruit), or, you failed to rightly, coherently read Genesis 2-3 together with Revelation 22 which completes it, and we are brought back through the gate with the angel to eat from the tree of life if our garments are washed clean.

Genesis 2:16-17 — https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=gen+2%3A16-17&version=NIV

Genesis 3 — https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203&version=NIV

Revelation 22 — https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2022&version=NIV

Let go of gleeful leaping to a Sunday School level of reading into the Bible 20th Century drug prohibitionism, and instead, take the correct, coherent mode of reading religious esoteric texts esoterically.

Or, stay addicted to rank, low, moralistic, exoteric reading, where you would have God literally prohibit Psilocybin, setting up a gate that is a wall and lets no one through, and you would have God pointedly assert that you literally die when you ingest Psilocybin — which is manifestly false.

At the point, the ones stand blocking the gate, they never go into and won’t let anyone else pass through, is the entheogen scholars, who like McKenna 1994 simply DECLARE there is no, and there must be no, Psilocybin in our own religion.

“Do not look for Psilocybin in Christianity; it is not there and we must not permit it to be there.

And so if you were to find any psilocybin in Christianity, you must hasten to prop up our narrative commitment, neutralize the findings of psilocybin in Christianity by framing-away the psilocybin; neutralize and discount psilocybin by labelling mushrooms, as Ruck enjoys and gets high by doing, as “heretical, alien, outside, deviant, not real Christianity, because everyone knows Christianity lacks psilocybin.”

Typical entheogen scholarship move. Perfectly optimized to perpetuate Prohibition. What the F is your objective, entheogen scholars? What kind of “strategy” is this?

We don’t need outside prohibitionists, because Prohibitionism thinking is baked right into the DNA of exoteric entheogen scholarship.

No one is more addicted to perpetual defeat and drug prohibition than entheogen scholars.

Never trust an entheogen scholar.

Prohibition of Psilocybin Is the Fault of Entheogen Scholars’ Self-Defeatism, and So Repeal of Entheogen Scholars’ Prohibitionism Is Also in Their Power, if They Get Their Priorities and Objectives Straight

The continuation or repeal of Psilocybin Prohibition, depends on you: whether you take a mature, esoteric, coherent and complete reading of religious texts, or, an immature, exoteric, incoherent and incomplete reading of religious texts.

Entheogen scholars have the power to repeal prohibition: make the #1 strategic objective the repeal of Psilocybin prohibition, by revealing that the traditional esoteric eucharist through which we are regenerated and taught Logos is psilocybin.

Abandon and jettison your mentally ill assertion of drug prohibition projected onto Genesis 2-3, abandon your cheap addiction to self-aggrandizing yourself over the God of Genesis 2-3 who you frame as the rank drug prohibitionist, who builds a guarded gate in order to make the gate serve as a mere wall.

Stop blocking the gate, by your self-elevating moralistic grandstanding, when depends on making God a mere liar (Genesis 2:17) by your addiction to asserting Sunday School-level of exoteric, incoherent misreading.

Cease the literalist reading of Genesis 3 as drug prohibition, and instead explain the way to coherently read Genesis 2:17 and 3:4 so as to stop asserting that God tells a falsehood against the wisest animal when God asserts “The day that you eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge, you will certainly die.” Genesis 2:17.

The snake speaks truly and not deceitfully when asserting “You will not die when you eat from the tree of knowledge, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and bad.” [Zevit 2013]

Eve was correct in seeing that the psilocybin fruit gives wisdom. Adam and Eve entered that state of loose cognitive meta-perception, and they perceived that they were naked — vulnerable to control instability.

Adam saw God in the garden and was afraid of God because Adam knew that he was naked; vulnerable to control instability, and so tried to hide from this vulnerability.

Sacrifice of Isaac – Genesis 22:1-19

Sacrifice of Isaac (Canterbury Psalter)

Figure 1. Sacrifice of Isaac. Canterbury Psalter, BnF Latin MS 8846, folio f12. 1176-1200 CE. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f12.item.zoom#

For {lifted mushroom hem}, John Rush’s terminology is “celestial erection”. Cite Rush.

Abraham & Isaac: Isaac straight left leg (in Canterbury not Golden Ps) touches Abraham’s lifted garment; Abraham knows that asserting possibilism-thinking causes loss of control — ram caught in msh thicket by its own power and ends up with no control and reality is revealed, eternalism-thinking results, given birth, engendered from above, God-mode thinking, higher level of 2-level (not autonomous monolithic) mental model of control. Rams in f177 Row 2 Left.

Mushroom Hems Mean Mushrooms: Multiple Mushroom Hems vs. Naturalistic Hems

Important for all Golden black-arrow mushroom hems: black-arrow mushroom hems contrasted against free-form red cloth folds. This proves that throughout Golden Psalter, the black-arrow mushroom hem shape means mushrooms and the artist rejected the naturalistic option. Multiple black-arrow mushroom hems are contrasted against multiple rounded naturalistic hems.

Any Erwin Panofsky-like claim that mushroom hems are meaningless, accidental, and rigidly dictated to the artists by meaningless distortion and random degradation of prototypes, is firmly shut out by the above figures’ signalling by the artists that they are in command of the shapes. [Brown 2019]

For another example, see Moses, Burning Bush, and Tablets (Ingeborg Psalter). Mushroom hems are covered by [Rush 2022, 20xx].

Features:

  1. Abraham has four mushroom hems, one of which is a lifted mushroom hem.
  2. The lifted mushroom hem is on a non-branching part of the tree.

  7. Gill striations on lifted mushroom hem.
  8. Angel’s left wing touches leftmost branch of a YI branch of the tree.

The Principle of Artist Responsibility and Agency

Artists have artistic freedom, intentionality, agency, and choice to employ imagery that they know perfectly well will deliver a mushroom impression. If the artist didn’t want to be held as intending mushrooms, they wouldn’t have chosen to deliver mushroom imagery to the viewer. This principle counters Erwin Panofsky in [Brown 2019].

The Principle of Art’s Independence from Text

If accompanying text states that the image means something other than mushrooms, and the image delivers mushroom imagery, then the image and artist means mushrooms, regardless of the text. This principle counters [Hatsis 2013].

  15. mushroom gives the eternalism experiential mode; eternalism experiencing, then eternalism-thinking, the “eternalism” mental worldmodel. ordinary state vs altered state: they give two opposed world-models: transformation from possibilism to eternalism.
  16. There are two mental world-models, for the two states of consciousness, the altered state gives the eternalism experiencing & eternalism-thinking
  17. The loose cog state gives the “eternalism” mental worldmodel, including metaperception.

Translate {stand on right foot} to {hang from right knee}

Challenge: Confirm analogous relative hand heights when hanging upside down from right leg (knee) vs. sitting upright using right leg (foot) in mushroom tree.

Summary of solution:

Why right hand should be farther from the ground than left hand when hanging from right leg rather than standing on right leg: because when hanging from right knee, left knee droops closer to ground than right knee. By analogy (like when standing), hands should be same: left hand closer to ground than right hand. Q.E.D.

Detailed analysis:

The advanced-level floating sage in Row 2 Right worries: how come the hands of the guy who is hanging upside down are in the “bad” configuration (right hand elevated)? Does this violate consistency of the standard analogy system, so that he’s unstable and falling to his cybernetic death on God’s sword?

The hanging guy’s feet fulfill the standard “good” configuration, so why aren’t his hands the same relative elevation as his feet? That seems inconsistent. How to analyze this abnormal scenario consistently with the standard analogy system?

{stand on right foot} translates to {hang by right knee}.

{right hand further from ground than left hand} -> {weight on left leg} -> control based on possibility branching world model, which causes loss of control (fatal control instability). So, {right hand elevated} = bad.

Key point: When hanging from right leg, foot height doesn’t count; what counts instead is knee height.

When standing, “good”, stable control is meant by {right foot is on ground and left foot higher}. By an additional degree of analogy distance, {left hand higher than right hand}.

When hanging by right knee, left knee droops closer to ground than right knee. By the same, consistent analogy as when standing upright, the left hand should be closer to the ground than the right hand, to be “good”; that is, to have stable, viable control.

Loss of Control as a Function of Fingertip Height (Mapped to Which Mental Model of Control-in-World)

OPEN scroll is knowledge about this & balance = loss of control. “When I didn’t know about this[ie that possibilism-thinking in peak state of loose cognition causes loss of control] (ie when scroll was closed), I had balance/ stable self-control, back when I stood on left heel in OSC.” – 9:31 a.m. March 18, 2023

i’m doomed, condemned to forever type in more realizations: Eadwine won’t let me ever stop [8:42 a.m. March 18, 2023] she’s holding a scroll with balance scale, which is Transcendent Knowledge that possibilism-thinking causes loss of control — and the cross-image jackpot won’t stop; this (specific) decoding means also that in f145 Row 1 Quarter 2 the scroll and god r row 1 R THE SCROLL MESSAGE about doomed POSSIBILISM-THINKING, asserting/RELYING ON LEFT FOOT CAUSES LOSS OF CONTROL; {SCROLL} DECODED.

f145 Row 1 R god too holds in left hand closed scroll, but is open in Row 2. got it (got something): he holds in right hand open scroll. Need todo crop: mirror him & her & scrolls, feet, hands, balance. [8:59 a.m. March 18, 2023]

She’s the balance that u have in OSC and that you wish for in altered state. He’s out of control, he looks at her in OSC she has stable control, contrasted against him, she is stable bc she lacks Transcendent Knowledge (closed scroll, wrong hand & foot down), she is the ctrl-stab’y of the osc [9:05 a.m. March 18, 2023].

what’s in his book is what’s on his & her scrolls.

now i puzzle: closed vs open scroll, is she ignorant of Transcendent Knowledge, standing her left heel on stable column base? “hard to interp” – wiki.

{rams} assert and double down on asserting possibilism-thinking and so they lose balance, building falls down, they go out of control

  • [11:20 p.m. March 23, 2023] Middle special dark ram is equated with the special, I branch of simple key tree: the shroud carrier looks simultaneously at the cross-under of the good branch and beyond that the occluded right leg exactly inline . or/and, looks at crown of good branch and beyond that, exactly at angled at right leg of “good” (in another sense/perspec.) ram 3 (rightmost as if I of YI trio).
  • Ram 1 + 2 ~= Y, ram 3 = I. Same w/ each trio of tail & legs. tail + L leg ~= Y, R leg ~= I. The proof that these details count for points is the botched cross-under of the msh tree. You also get 1 point for explaining that the really awkward R leg of ram 3 under border yells “analyze cross-unders”; proves / signals that R-hand cross-unders are significant.
  • Shroud’s right-hand wrist being not cross-undered then means: fully ego-dead state = full, non-occluded perception of right-hand non-branching branch, clearly, directly, fully perceiving non-branching, without that reality being at all occluded by the branching illusion.

He’s able to see the occluded branch & right feet so we are “able to see”, in effect, Shroud’s occluded R ankle.
  • Shroud’s R foot touches Carrier’s R leg, not L leg.
  • the fact that Carrier is looking at cross-unders proves that Shroud’s cross-overs/ cross-unders are to be analyzed. Plus Shroud’s cross-over wrists X is exactly under Stable Tower that’s under Stably/Rightly Standing guy in Row 1, proving that a focal point for analysis is Shroud’s wrists choice of overlap, the fact that R wrist is NOT occluded; “the non-occlusion of Shroud’s R wrist” is a major focal point for analysis/meaning-concentration. The most important significant feature of Shroud is certainly the visibility (non-occludedness) of the R wrist. L Carrier’s right hand occluding R shoulder doesn’t count as occluding, b/c R hand.
  • Carriers are effectively putting Shroud’s wrists crossover config’n on display to be analyzed.

Conclusions

Re-centers the Field on Psilocybin Rather than on Amanita

This Theory moves the field solidly out from centering “is it a mushroom (picture Amanita) or not?”, per Brown’s request about whether DH or I have written about “compelling evidence & criteria of proof” for identifying mushroom imagery in Christian art [pers. corr. Nov. 10 2020], by a superior central concern: evidence for Psychedelic Eternalism in art, particularly from Psilocybin.

“I will also propose a framework for revitalizing the study of mushrooms in Christian art (MICA), and focus the field on the central question: to what extent are psychoactive mushrooms present in Christian history?” [Brown 2022].

Read Esoterically to Reveal that Genesis Is Not Simple Literal Prohibition

The Genesis text indicates that a literalist reading cannot be correct, because such a mode of reading would have God assert a falsehood in asserting per Genesis 2:17: “in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” An esoteric mode of reading, which recognizes “die” as ego death, solves this problem that is signalled by the text to be the correct, appropriate, successful mode of reading, for those on the inside. For those on the outside, who have incoherent thinking, this passage is simple literal prohibition, and God asserts a manifest falsehood.

Become coherent and abandon the literalist narrative of claiming that Genesis 2-3 expresses a simple, rank, vulgar anti-drug attitude. Perceive and reveal the peak climactic central presence of advanced psilocybin technology in the heart of Western religion, and commit to the overriding strategic objective of repealing psilocybin prohibition.

Increased Ability to Perceive and Recognize Psilocybin Evidence

The entheogen scholarship game of “spot the mushroom” is played most effectively when integrated with literacy about the psilocybin experiential referents of religious mythology, mythemes, and art motifs: not just “spot the mushroom”, but level-up the game by recognizing the language of {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} motifs.

… increased manyfold by adding Theory of {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} motifs. Happens to provide greatly increased ability to see and gather evidence, cumulative breakthrough effect, to identify mushroom imagery in esoteric art — but much more profound, exciting, and worthwhile, is {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} motifs

Flip the Psilocybin-Absence Narrative Expectations and Presuppositions

There are countless thousands of images of psilocybin mushrooms in Western religion. The top priority for entheogen scholars is to strategically repeal psilocybin prohibition. Especially beware of entrenched self-defeating, anti-strategic narratives and commitments to presupposition frameworks and habitual, defeatist, negative lenses.

Online images along with the present enabling lens present a golden age of recognizing the vibrant copious tradition of psilocybin in Europe. Embrace and expect and vigorously spotlight and focus on recognizing psilocybin in Western religion, including Europe, England, and the Mediterranean.

Add to the forbidden word list to enable a successful explanatory framework: suppressed, secret, concealed, forbidden, heretical, cult. Stop committing to the paradigm of absence, which succeeds at one thing: reifying Prohibition.

Understand Control Instability from Psilocybin

With the coming full repeal of Psilocybin Prohibition, people will use high-dose psilocybin, and will inevitably discover that asserting possibilism-thinking during loose cognition causes loss of control, as surely as a ram caught in a thicket by its own efforts and exertions of its power.

By applying the Theory of Psychedelic Cybernetic Eternalism to the {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} motifs, we now have a STEM-type, effective explanatory model of the classic ram seizure dynamics escalation of control instability vortex attractor that religious mythology and this art genre reports, because myth and medieval art come from psilocybin experiential dynamics.

Repeal Psilocybin Prohibition and Leverage Evidence in Christianity

Medieval Christian artists were evidently experts at psilocybin’s peak effect of transformation of the mental worldmodel from possibilism to the eternalism mental worldmodel of time, possibility, and control. Repeal psilocybin prohibition, because Western religion has a well-evidenced, strong tradition of using psilocybin as the source and inspiration of religious experiencing.

The Path Is Cleared for Psychedelic Cognitive Science

Psychedelic Cognitive Science is now equipped to enter the realm of psilocybin without trespassing and being thrown out through the guarded gate by the threat of loss of control.

The Mental Transformation Process Is Now Efficient

To easily and smoothly transform the mental model to retain stable control in the psilocybin state, study the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism.

Further Reading

See Hoffman 1996 for the mental worldmodel of control in the loose cognitive state. Hoffman 1997 presents the Core theory specification of the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism.

See Hoffman 2007 for mapping religious mythology to the core of the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism. Hoffman 2020a provides guidance for psilocybin sessions and for development of the theory of branching-message mushroom trees.
