Motivation for Creating this Page
Unpublished MS. But I might publish it as Academia.edu, for a couple reasons: I want to see my 1988 wording of the Core theory. I need a standard way to represent that the Egodeath theory was formulated in 1988, without belaboring the point in a way that’s hard to follow and gets lost in minutia of historical development.
People need dates for the development of the Egodeath theory, and article dates are especially useful, even if an unpublished MS. This MS’s year, August 1988, is same as important date Jan. 1988 when the Egodeath theory was formed. Started 1985. Need a citation that represents and indicates that the Egodeath theory was formed in 1988.
History of Development of the Egodeath theory in Terms of Main-Article Years
1988: The Theory of Ego Transcendence (unpublished ms)
1997: The Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence (Self-Control Cybernetics, Dissociative Cognition, & Mystic Ego Death (core theory spec)
2007: The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death (2007 main article, adds myth but not branching-message mushroom trees/ handedness)
2020a: Compelling Evidence & Proof of Explicit Psilocybin Mushrooms in Christian Art to Communicate Non-Branching Stable Control
2020b: Proof that the Canterbury Psalter’s Leg-Hanging Mushroom Tree Is Psilocybe
2023: Branching-Message Mushroom Trees: Psychedelic Eternalism Depicted in Medieval Art as Branching Mushrooms, Handedness, and Stability (supplement to 2007 main article)
Notes
bubble is first pub’d article but is more an adjunct to the 1988 draft/ 1997 spec.
My 2006 Fresco article is a SIDESHOW footnote, albeit formal and exhaustive and a major milestone. Its message is: Fresco/Wasson/Allegro = irrelevant dead end. The Egodeath theory is on-track, relevant.
My 2020 article on Eadwine is too incomplete, lacks theory of branching-message mushroom trees, which is finalized April 2023 (now). Good news: I realized I have a Nov 19 2020 untouched 1st Edition frozen snapshot of the article as well as my updated, potential 2nd edition (wide page format).
