quick copy from draft of branching-message mushroom trees article — been recording many hours of spoken idea development to get this far.
Brown’s call to recenter the field on the question of “To what extent “mushrooms” in Christianity?” has a fatal flaw: the word “mushrooms” is a trojan horse for perpetual Prohibition and primitivism and physicalist approach, because THE WORD “MUSHROOMS” BY DEFAULT MEANS EXCLUSIVELY AMANITA, WHICH IS A TROJAN HORSE FOR EVERYTHING BAD AND WRONG.
Hatsis has explicitly and directly confirmed this to me in pers. corr., Hatsis personally confirmed to me that when he says “mushrooms” in this context, he EXCLUSIVELY means Amanita.
And I’m finding HUGE problems and flaws and massive self-contradictions and inconsistencies in Irvin’s 2008 book “The Holy Mushroom” along this same line.
WE MUST STOP EMPLOYING THE TERM “MUSHROOMS”, “THE MUSHROOM”, ETC.
Repeal and sound theory depends on us adding ‘mushrooms’ to the Forbidden Word List, the list of conceptual explanatory constructs and terms that cannot be a viable foundation for theory and for repeal and mainstreaming.
This article and the Egodeath theory replaces the Amanita paradigm by the Psilocybin paradigm.
The Amanita paradigm = perpetual prohibition, primitivism; a physicalist-limited theorizing (shape of Amanita); ambiguous, obfuscating language (“the mushroom”, “mushrooms”, “the holy mushroom”); unstated argumentation, poor theorizing; proxy associations and narratives; lowering consciousness, immature childish exoteric misreading of religious myth and art motifs.
The Psilocybin paradigm = repeal and beyond to mainstreaming psychedelics; advanced comprehension of history; a cognitive experiencing domain approach; controlled conceptual vocabulary unambiguous; sound theorizing, explicit argumentation, direct speech and direct thinking/ argumentation (not proxy), elevating consciousness; mature adult esoteric coherent reading of religious myth and art motifs.
Ruck & Rush need to convert from the “Amanita counter-culture” paradigm to the “Psilocybin mainstream” paradigm.
Nov 29 2024 note: Avoid the term ‘mainstream’ as well as ‘counterculture’. Both terms imply & reify a Prohibition-type barrier and identity boundary, a presence/absence boundary.
MUST ABANDON AMANITA BASED CENTRIC ENTHEOGEN SCHOLARSHIP LIKE THE PLAGUE
The Egodeath theory is successful as a relevant, domain-appropriate, useful and effective explanatory model because it models and provides an explanatory model using a custom, appropriate, purpose-optimized, conceptual vocabulary and lexicon suitable for effectively capturing the explanandum.
Ineffective approaches fail to deliver an effective explanatory model to explain dread of the {shadow dragon monster}, instead just deleting and eliminating the explanandum (dread of fatal control instability) and replacing the explanandum by some substitute:
- An ordinary-state based Grief subscale that simply deletes 18 of Dittrich’s 21 5D-ASC Dread effects [Barrett et al 2016: Scoring Guide appendix].
- A Physicalism/Materialism focus that’s conceptually limited to domino-chain determinism [Johnson, 2022].
- Eliminative “Cognitive” Neuroscience that attempts to discuss loose cognitive binding by instead talking indirectly in terms of “neuroplasticity”.
- Unscientifically vague mysticism as a methodology [rejected by Sanders & Zijlmans 2021].
The Egodeath theory is an anti-neuroscience, bona fide actual cognitive phenomenology-based approach, explaining experiencing of control model transformation in terms of control models, not in terms of neural networks which deletes and removes the explanandum through using a conceptual lexicon which fails to describe the explanandum.
We must discuss the experience of mental model transformation, in direct terms about experiential mental model transformation, not indirectly and ineffectively in terms of brain scans.
Nov 29 2024 note: Ruck’s telltale typical words ‘sects, cults, communities, groups, [secret] societies’, or later, ‘elites’, all function as a barrier / boundary construction word/concept, in Ruck’s writings. Ruck NEVER says “Christians” or “heretics”, but ALWAYS speaks of a closed group, because he cannot allow Amanita-using individuals to be spread throughout the general population of Christians – that breaks his narrative and especially, eliminates Ruck’s personal identity.
Anti-“secret amanita sect” paradigm, which is ordinary-state based, limited to the physical forms of the Amanita, ignores repeal of Psilocybin prohibition, and is fully invested in a false theological claim that what makes a form of Christianity mainstream vs. heretical is that mainstream Christianity is required by entheogen scholars (sitting in Pope’s chair issuing theological decrees) to prohibit Psilocybin.
Bad, anti-Psilocybin, Prohibition-asserting theology, is how the “Amanita sect” theory operates.
According to the Amanita heresy theology that’s a false theological dictum or decree of the “heretical Amanita sect” paradigm, there are only two options: mainstream anti-psychedelic religion and culture in opposition to heretical psychedelic sects.
In sharp contrast, the “explicit mainstream Psilocybin Eucharist” paradigm formed by the Egodeath theory, provides the correct, true, theologically correct theological decree, that real Christianity, normal mainstream religion and culture, is Psilocybin-based.
The fatal flaw of the “Secret Amanita” paradigm is that the flip side of assigning psychedelics to a postulated counter-culture is the false assertion that mainstream culture must prohibit psychedelics – a fatally self-defeating, false theology.
The self-contradiction that is “Cognitive Neuroscience”
The “Secret Amanita heretical sect” paradigm is infantile, concretistic, limited to the physical form of the fly agaric, and cannot engage with the cognitive content, mental model transformation about control-in-world.
The result is reductionism, which is the elimination of the explanandum through ineffective and inappropriate explanatory model using terms that allow the escape of the explanandum.
Only the Egodeath theory captures the explanandum and explains, not deletes [Barrett et al 2016: scoring guide appendix] OAV’s Dread DED dimension {shadow dragon monster}, replacing the altered-state explanandum by a ordinary-state based Grief subscale.
Note 29 Nov 2024: “factors” in 11-factors – Psychedelic Pseudo-Science
- Inconsistent names of these pseudo-Science questionnaires.
- Dittrich = APV = OAV + x/y = 5D-ASC = [Studerus’] 11-Factors.
- Panke = MEQ = MEQ42 = MEQ30.
- The two q’s where the revised, 2nd one added a “Determinism” factor.
- Unclear null “factors” (item 54) not in ICC or AD subfactor/ “sub-scale”, accidentally forming “shadow factor 13” and “virtual factor 12”, formed implicitly, unconsciously, thoughtlessly, not defended or acknowledged by the authors, in 11 Factors.
- Poor writing in this field of “science”; Roland Griffiths “accidentally misunderstood” the poorly written 11 Factors writeup paper, and dropped 8 of the 21 Angst factors right out the gate (shadow factor 13). Poor explanation of why item 54 of DED/AED Angst Dread scale was dropped in 11-Factors, poor justification of several “dropped items”.
Do I actually desire, or not, the psychedelic therapy clinic to be swallowed whole by the shadow dragon monster?
/Nov 29 2024 notes
The “Amanita sect”theory asserts that mainstream religion is anti-entheogenic, which maximally supports Prohibition. The “Psilocybin Eucharist” theory asserts that mainstream religion is entheogenic, which maximally supports repeal of Prohibition.
Do not associate “counter-culture” with entheogens, which maximally benefits Prohibition. Associate mainstream religion with entheogens, which maximally leads to Repeal of Prohibition.
Other methodologies fail to effectively model the actual explanandum, experiencing mental model transformation from possibilism to eternalism, transforming the mental worldmodel of control-in-world, driven by corrective instability and failure of control.
No other theory than the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism captures and recognizes and effectively models and explains this dynamic: not neuroscience, physicalism, or mysticism.
My approach instead is: Loose Cognitive Science, loose cognition; psychedelic eternalism; mental construct association matrix; mental construct processing.
Only Psychedelic Cognitive Science, liberated from Neuroscience’s replacement and reductionism of the explanandum, can accurately, usefully, and relevantly model and explain mental worldmodel transformation in the psilocybin loose cognitive binding state.
This explanatory model of conditional control stability enables the field of Psychedelic Cognitive Science; enables Cognitive Scientists to enter the loose cognitive realm to get the treasure of Transcendent Knowledge, without being cast out through the gate by terror of seeing the {shadow dragon monster}.
CARL RUCK’S “AMANITA HERETICAL SECT” THEORY IS OPTIMIZED AND MAXIMIZED TO SUPPORT PROHIBITION OF ENTHEOGENS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Do not assert that mainstream religion was anti-entheogenic; that false assertion maximally supports Prohibition.
The “Amanita sect” theory falsely asserts that mainstream religion is inherently anti-entheogenic; that false assertion maximally supports Prohibition.
Assert that mainstream religion was entheogenic; that correct assertion maximally repeals Prohibition.
The “Psilocybin Eucharist” theory (part of the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism) truthfully asserts that mainstream religion is inherently entheogenic; that correct assertion maximally supports repeal of Prohibition.
Conflating Forms of the Barrier Wall: Eden entrance; City of God wall; Those on the Inside; Prohibition (War on Drugs); Pope Ruck’s decree against “Heretical Sects” (his words)
Do not read Genesis 2 & 3 as exoterically read God is prohibitionist, and ignore Revelation 22 at the end of the Bible, titled by NIV as “Eden Restored”.
Nov 29 2024: Rev 22:2 gives us THIRTEEN DIFFERENT ENTHEOGENS — not just one (Amanita) per Heinrich or Cannabis only, “Hemp”, per Bennett.
Esoteric affirmation … the only possible reading is esoteric, God speaks truth: Adam died that day; God is not a rank Prohibitionist.
