Content/Timestamps

This episode skips tons of recordings with good content April 23-28, 2023. I’m hoping that the April 22 recordings plus these April 29 recordings cover the gap.

The big news yesterday (April 29, 2023) was that:

Jan Irvin exempts Amanita and Allegro from critique, when calling psychedelics “suggestogens” in 2014, and in Irvin’s 2022 book God’s Flesh when demonizing psilocybin. Irvin has been consistently much more favorable to Amanita than Psilocybin.

Irvin 2008:
Strong advocacy of Amanita & Allegro.
Tepid support for psilocybin; it’s treated as a mere supporting cast for the big star, Amanita, the holy mushroom.

Irvin 2014 & 2022:
Silent about Amanita & Allegro.
Demonizes psilocybin.

Irvin has never subjected either one to critique (other than precisely identifying the scholarly source for any technical errors in SMC). Amanita & Allegro are somehow exempted from Irvin’s critique.

In Irvin’s 2022 book God’s Flesh, Irvin criticizes Wasson for trying to harm Christianity by equating psilocybin with the Eucharist and the Word (Logos).

Irvin’s can-do-no-wrong hero Allegro was more clearly and obviously trying to harm and discredit Christianity.

Irvin (2008, 2014, 2022) is, in effect, trying to equate Amanita with Eucharist and Logos, while disrespecting psilocybin (2008) and demonizing psilocybin (2014, 2022).

todo: Guitar-only .mp3, Ep248G

Nice to do: Break out the guitar segments (longer than 20 s) into a separate .mp3, Ep248G. Shorten part A & B by removing the 27 minutes / 14 minutes of guitar at end. In any case, I plan/want to combine the 27 + 14 minutes into Ep248G guitar-only extracts.

27+14 = 41 minutes; LP length.

There’s a little typing, mouse clicks, or room noise in the mics, but reasonable.

haha i say “cybernetics” isolated word at Ep248a 1:27:10 (in middle of guitar/music) from input rec’g / track “02b VOX_TK_5302” — a 1 GB file, would be hard to figure out where the word came from; listen to the track where that passage came from “02b VOX_TK_5302”, which is from 18:34 to 27:11 in Ep248a. Is the word “cybernetics” missing from the voice part of Ep248a??

Ep248a 🍄🤥 The Phony Mushroom: What’s in a Name?

Tech issues and rough production: Lots of miking experiments and sometimes levels are wrong, or too much treble, too loud guitar (too quiet mic).

Length: 1:48:13 (1:21:00 spoken idea development scholarly content, then 27 minutes guitar)

Need to re-inventory Eadwine images in Great Canterbury Psalter now that I know a LOT more about morphology than in Nov 2020 through March 2023. Dud mushroom trees are highly of interest for morphology.

how many caps average, in Great Canterbury Psalter Eadwine images?

Image f134: 3 caps. 2 are red-leaf Amanita colors, 1 is tan shelf fungus.
Image f145: 5 caps. 1 panaeolus.
Image f177: 7 caps. 1 panaeolus, 1 red leaf Amanita cap. 6 cubensis.

Only 1 liberty-cap cap among those 3 images.
177 & 145 have a panaeolus cap.

18:34 — Errata: segment at 18:34 is too loud. Due to switching mics in mid-recording, that made production awkward. Adjust volume.

19:30 — We desire to enter into loosecog, but to enter Loosecogland/ Mythemeland and remain there with stable control requires going through fatal loss of control and the end of the world. Different model of control and of the world, to have stable, viable control.

Price of entry to the psilocybin realm: fatal loss of control and the end of the world.

20:00 —

Great Canterbury Psalter contains 2 Amanita trees, and red-leaf caps with white tips.

f134

You’re supposed to reconcile the two guys’ semi-contradictory foot heights and hand heights.

Solution:

Hanging from right knee causes left knee to dangle closer to the ground, so Red’s left hand should be closer to ground than right hand (following knees rather than feet, which aren’t used to keep from falling).

Physics dictates Red’s feet height relative to knees; the resulting foot height contradict Red’s knee relative height: right knee is further from ground than left knee, yet right foot is closer to ground than left foot, due to geometry/physics of knees relative to feet, unlike when standing — or when sitting balancing in tree.

Q.E.D.

f145

1 Liberty-Cap cap with red+white Amanita colors.
1 red-leaf cap with red/white Amanita colors.

f177

This mushroom tree includes a cut right trunk and a cut branch, by 100% offset of cross-under; I first grappled with this question when drawing the white line, Feb. 26 2023.

This crop includes Sun Light. 1 panaeolus, 1 red-leaf Amanita colors.

37:00 — designed a “table” for branching-message mushroom trees article to group the mytheme-pairs:
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/16/branching-message-mushroom-trees-psychedelic-eternalism-depicted-in-medieval-art-as-branching-mushrooms-handedness-and-non-branching/#Key-Motifs-branching-handedness-stability

The {branching} motif includes {branching} and {non-branching} motifs.

The {handedness} motif includes {left limb} and {right limb} motifs.

The {stability} motif includes {unstable} and {stable} motifs.

The {handedness} motif is in the middle and connects the {branching} motif to the {stability} motif in the psilocybin loosecog state:

{branching} — {left limb} — {unstable}

{non-branching} — {right limb} — {stable}

In terms of the three combinations of states, models, and resulting stability:

1: {no mushroom} — {branching} — {left limb} — {stable}

2: {mushroom} — {branching} — {left limb} — {unstable}

3: {mushroom} — {non-branching} — {right limb} — {stable}

40:00 —

{branching} is a direct analogy.

{handedness} is an indirect analogy, and helps connect {branching} and {stability} imagery.

{stability} is a direct analogy.

The {branching} motif is used to depict transformation of the mental model of the world in which control agency steers.

The {handedness} & {stability} motifs are used to depict transformation of the mental model of control agency that steers in the world.

50:00 — still designing the above “table”.

What drives us to switch the model of control?

Which one is the ultimate change:
the end of the world, and the new world?
ego death and rebirth of the control agent?

Entry into Jerusalem (Golden Psalter)

Passing through the heimarmene gate; ego death gate; sacrifice of child garment gate; no-free-will gate.

Lorenzetti’s heimarmene sphere of the fixed stars; heaven’s gate.

The gate at the upper Saturn layer leading to rebirth into the sphere of the fixed stars.

Pass in/out/up/down through the gate.

Revelation 22, last page of bible: allowed to go “may go through the gates” [NIV; check others] of the city with God’s throne and trees of life:

Reve 22:14 NIV:“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.”

See the very good Rev 22 excerpts I added today April 30 2023 at (will wordcount force me to remove that?) —

Entheogen scholars who cite Genesis 2 & 3 while omitting Revelation 22 have lost their share in the tree of life; they are prohibited from Psilocybin.

Entheogen scholars who complete Genesis 2 & 3 by citing Revelation 22 are granted a share in the tree of life and the ability to go in and out through the gate of the city that contains the tree of life.

1:14:00 — what’s the driver re: control instability?

The story is not ONLY “Change from the branching to the non-branching model of the world and control/steering, to regain viable, stable control.”

Don’t put the spotlight on that dynamic at the expense of the other 11 dynamics. similar to:

Remember to put emphasis on GET THE TREASURE, not AVOID THE DRAGON.

My lesson learned from my mistake in advising the Oregon Psilocybin Authority, I provided too much “how to avoid shadow dragon monster”, not enough “how to get through the guarded gate to get the treasure”.

That’s not the whole story, even if it’s the most striking theme.

Don’t tell a single-aspect story, there are several dynamics that occur together.

I in Jan or Aug 1988, and 1997, expressed the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence as some 12 principles, not just a single master principle.

Many aspects come into play during transformation from possibilism to eternalism.

Ep248b 3:00 – deocing decoding action doesn’t happen about the mushroom motifi in particular, tho use all 4 motifs to see everything best

mushroom motif itself doesn’t need as much decoding as the other 3: msurhooms

new, balanced phrase, same level of combination: lower-level, not “branching-message mushroom trees” hi-level compound mytheme/motif.
mbhs

branching-message mushroom trees is good at top level. break it down in lower level:

{mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs

old, uneven phrase:
{branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} motifs

Ep248b 10:00 —

each motif plays an important role, the motifs aren’t all required to be used

the first model of control is unstable in loose cognitive state, transformation isn’t ONLY b/c restablizing control. treat the system of motifs, and the sytsem of model of mental model transformation . beward of single-factor accounting; child loses control b/c multiple reasons: dinstinct dynamics, don’t misuse locking the spotligh on this one dynamic.

child lose control for many interlocked interconnected reasons:

also b/c helpless puppet

also b/c thoughts pre-exist

also b/c high-er level controller creator injects control-thoughts (what you will to think and do) into the mind

also b/c you don’t control the source of your thoughts

also b/c deja vu is forcing here’s you are made to remember fatal loss of control and end of the world

bracket-off the mushroom motif, that leaves

{mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs representing main dynamics of mental worldmodel transformation in the psil loosecog state.

{left limb touching blade}

Ep248b 10:15 — left limb touching blade

a form of non-branching. obeys Panofsky “must remove branching from your mushroom trees”

meaningless prototypes, the art world came to accept the msh shapes, no one has any agency, indivdual intentionality, direction of distortion of the prototypes. random sloppy art accidental distortion get distored in that particular direction, branching and non- too. Did the audience also agree not to think “mushrooms” so “all the art viewing world came to accept the mushroom garbled meaningless accidental shapes”.

blades = non-branching. affirming non-branching is affirming {blade}

cutting limbs: touching blade to the left limb = affirming non-branching, cut right trunk.

how many blades touching left limb in image f134 Great Canterbury Psalter?

row 1: 1

row 2: 2: swordsman standing & upside down. compare him to hanging guy

row 3: 3 guys, 4 blades.

Irvin Exempts Amanita from Critiques

Why is Amanita Allegro, Christianity-discreditor, lumper-together of psilocybin and amanita into fake word he engineered, “the mushroom”, why is Allegro & Amanita exempt from Irvin’s critique?

Astro Amanita Theology and Shamanism

the Amanita guy, the Allegro guy. When you think mushroom, think 🍄

Carl Ruck was totally psyched and enthused when smc SMC came out in 1970. I wonder if Ruck read the 1967 periodical version of SMC?

“Irvin was always lost.” I don’t understand irvin 2022 God’s Flesh book accuse Wasson of trying to harm Christianity but in fact Allegro is more so. Irvin is running defense against the Christianity-discreditor Allegro. Allegro can do no wrong,

Why didn’t Irvin 2008 book The Holy Mushroom declare:

Eucharist = Logos = Word = Truth = Psilocybin

Irvin 2008: gist, not brought to this completion:
Eucharist = Logos = Word = Truth = Amanita

you can’t talk about Genesis 3, Irvin 2022, REVELATION 22 as I already told u in 2006 article:
http://egodeath.com/WassonEdenTree.htm – find Revelation 22: the bottom part of the long section is copied here:

“Wasson’s position that Eden Trees were recognized as Amanita mushrooms only at the very beginning of writing the Bible is rendered problematic by “the Book of the Revelations”, because that late Christian book includes an Eden tree: the tree of life. Wasson has nothing to say about whether the tree of life in Revelation was intended by the author as an allusion to the use of Amanita. He doesn’t mention John eating the little scrolls from the angel with writing on them. Opening up that discussion would have blown Wasson’s story that only the very earliest Jews – when the Garden of Eden story was written – used and knew about entheogens.

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7). … down the middle of the great street of the city. 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. (22:2). 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. (22:14). And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. (22:19).

“Wasson essentially asserts that only the Bible’s opening is informed by understanding the Eden trees as Amanita. But the Bible is bracketed on both ends by these trees, virtually the extreme ends of the Bible, making it plausible that Jews and Christians commonly understood the tree of life to mean Amanita mushrooms throughout the entire era during which the Bible was written. The tree of life is first mentioned in Genesis 2:9, on page 2 of most Bibles, and is last mentioned in Revelation 22:19, only 4 sentences away from the end of the Bible.

“Wasson’s assumptions ask us to believe that the author and editor of the ‘tree of life’ passages in Revelation didn’t understand that the fruit of the tree of knowledge meant the Amanita mushroom, but that they chose to end the Bible with the emphasis on the tree of life out of sheer superficial literary mirroring.”

— Michael Hoffman, 2006

51:00 — hatsis misreps Irvin 2008’s position, Irvin THM tells people to stop the “secret fringe hereitcal and mystics” supposition, it’s false, Foreward concurs Judith Brown calls to STOP the “secrecy” premise.

Hatsis falsely calls Irvin Secret Christian Amanita Cult theorist, the “secret” part is opposite of what Irvin wrote. Hatsis lifts the idea of ditching “secret” from Irvin, steals Irvin’s idea, then claims Irvin is a “secret Amanita sect” theorist.

“the mushroom” is a propaganda-type word, shell game wildcard vague umbrella bucket term word “the mushroom” as a trick to shotgun-wedding Amanita and Psilocybin. characterizing-buckets,

“i’m goona cover ALL entheobotany… there’s a psilcovbin passage, our scope is Amanita only.” thm p. 31-32, 49, 59, 107.

Allegro wrote on fresco: “… some recollection of the old tradition was known among Christians”

the entheogenic practices in the wide sense –> non-drug psychedelics, can/ could/ might/ may cause identical effect as psilocybin: ie, transformation from possibilism to eternalism, and mytheme literacy depicting that.

No need to chew the flesh of Christ Eucharist.

What are the effects of the msuhroom? we are to picture a blurry mix of Amanita the engine of the mysery reliigions says Carl Amanita Promoter Ruck. expert told me Amanita wouldn’t work. Psilocybin is the correct pick, you picked wrong. Amanita is the reject/symbolic dud mushroom no one wants to ingest. covered for fake social machinations reasons by both Wasson and Allegor in same way yet somehow Allegro is Good Guy, Allegro and Wasson carry in same way, yet only Wasson, never Allegro, is subject to Irvin’s critiques.

Irvin didn’t point out the fake words “the mushroom” indeterminate hazy invention construction “the mushroom” THERE IS NO SUCH THING, no one uses that word, it’s as fake as Wasson’s Americas “Eucharist=Psilo” invented religion through cherrypicking quote phrases, Irvin shows all the bad stuff left out.

Fabricator of fake words, misrep’ive misquoting by Wasson, aka MAKIN SHT UP, invented fake religious practices made up by Wasson, unsupported by the original publications he draws from, put on display by Irvin in 2022 God’s Flesh. https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Flesh-Teonanac%C3%A1tl-History-Mushroom/dp/0982556225/

Hatsis ought to attack Ruck not Irvin 2008, Irvin was dismantling their combination of premises. He embraces Amanita usage within Christianity and lumps in psil in half sincere to bolster his Amanita premise/ thesis, but Irvin doesn’t fit Hatsis model of mushroom cult theorists (Hatsis 2013 Roasting Sal article sbu subtitle). THM 2008, RtS 2013 <– required heavy research to get the real article with the real title, the real year, and the dropped appendixes.

I’d be a negative …example of bad old paradigm, see Hatsis 2013 at Archive.org. Else worthless interpretation bizarre vectors and presuppositions and focuses and assumptions. Hatsis’ pictures are valuable (though his factual data is so-so, and his interpretations are poor and overall unhelpful):
Hatsis Gallery of Mushroom Imagery in Christian Art
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/06/29/hatsis-gallery-of-mushroom-imagery-in-christian-art/

Don’t perpetuate 1967-era stagnation by citing the Roasting the Salamander article — it’s stagnant, stuck on dead-end conversation about secret mushroom cult — stop talking about that.

My branching-message mushroom trees article has HOOKS ONLY. Not essays.

Why cite Old Paradigm Wrong publications? confusion-soaked references, what’s gain/loss, cost/ben?

Why is his article in my biblio? for the wrong reasons, it was profitable to discuss with Hatsis and read his articles several times.

My branching-message mushroom trees article is not about how I reached this theory, ie Hatsis’ articles. which were valuable to me, good pictures especially. didn’t get any value from Thomas Hatsis’ random arguments and Amanita-based, Amanita-or-nothing paradigm.

The less I know about the alleged “genre” according to Hatsis, the better. The storyline competes against clear visual thinking. Hatsis always reasons:

“The mushroom imagery in this image CANNOT POSSIBLY be a mushroom, b/c background story in the text, backstory, and theology too.” Look away from the image to get the artist’s message. Forget the artist, study the writer of surrounding text.

salamander survives fire

roudnabout Irvin reasoning about caduceus. i loath the theory that religious myth is sybmols in OSC that symobolize through consubstantial associateed with symbol of planet x which is correctlatedd with the number 3, therefore, meaning. Map everything to everything, no Transcendent Knowledge involved. vs my pair of pages:
the Egodeath Core Concepts catalog
the Key Mythemes catalog.

“msh cult theorists” in Hatsis subtitle of RtS

should i cite this hatsis article in this branching-message mushroom trees article? my article is estab’ing a new foundation for moving the field fwd, my 1988 theory, my 2007-2023 , especially brand new part of the Egodeath theory, branching-message mushroom trees theory is more artvisual art motifs visual motifs , my theory of religious mythology was not complete in 2007, always felt that. this aritcle completes my theory of myths and motifs, and completes my model of mental worldmodel t mental worldmodel transformation too. to better aritculate and model that.

osc + branching model = stable.

asc + branching model = unstable. restablizing control is important but is only 1 of 12 aspects.

Browns article is a new conversation, useful for moving the conver fwd

Hatsis is old conversation 1970s Man, stuck in 1970 like an 8-track tape continuous loop. holding back the conv, citing it is good when i write “What was wrong w the old paradigm and how do we move fwd?”
this branching-message mushroom trees article isn’t that purpose: purpose: to complete my mytheme theory of 2007. main point: complete the interp of the art images that are in my 2007 article (Eustace, Dionysus) psychedelic eternalism

the theory of analogical psychedelic eternalism cybernetics

the Key Mythemes catalog , the Egodeath Core Concepts catalog

12 principles of the the theory of ego transcendence : bo block universe, conceptual construct, lcp loose cognitive binding , how tranistion from mental worldmodel , …. about 12 topics, per aug 1988 MS, jan 1997 site, added religious myhtology in 2007 but not a complete mytheme theory of art.

religious imagery , visual art motifs, not textual rleigious mhythology was missing from 2007 article. Way more closure in 2020 than 2007, in 2023 i completed my art decoding and myth… helpd articulate and relate my non-analogy based core theory.

Cite Hatsis in my other article, the Outakes article. brings too much baggage, poor old-paradigm reasoning. clutter this particular article, no wordcount available to discuss what’s wrong w/ his article. but i’d need to. citing his article costs 100 workcount in his case, high.

asc + non-branching model = stable.

counterfeit alleged use claims meaning psil, wasson and allegro latched onto that alleged multi-plant use, to confabualate a single abstraction defined abnormally, Anaita / & Psil in one blow but this article branching-message mushroom trees is not about Amanita or its effects.

Psilocybin, none other, is the Eucharist. we don’t get a max of new thinking from Hatsis 2013 or Irvin 2008, a lot of bad, old thinking there, old paradigm. aman the Amanita Primacy Fallacy driven book THM.

Exempts Amanita and Allegro from critique

title THM = confusing old thinking, i refuse to allow Irvin’s phrase “THM” in my article. branching, mushrooms,

fatal loss of control and the end of the world, its relation to transformation of the mental worldmodel , = stop topic of restablizing control the main central most important topic, but not don’t hog all the spotlight.

mental worldmodel transformation is not only for the purpose of restabilizing control, the mind is taught how world shaped…

the model of control is revealed to be unstable, but regaining stable control shouldn’t have spotlight exclusively.

how exactly does control seizure and control restabilization work,
(but that’s not the only important topic)

how does mental model of control and world transform

Episode Title/Irvin Links

There’s no such thing as “the mushroom”. There are two completely unrelated psychoactives: Amanita (not a classic psychedelic) and Psilocybin.

Entheogen scholars deliberately conflated and confabulated Amanita and Psilocybin to sell a bogus, non-existent category to The Public.

No scientific mycologist ever wrote “the mushroom” to artificially group — a SHOTGUN WEDDING — Amanita with Psilocybin.

Deceptive entheogen scholars fabricated the super-awkward, Primitive Anthropology Theory dept. propaganda term “the mushroom” (a HIGHLY unscientific, ambiguous, confusion-spawning term) in order to falsely attribute the desirable psilocybin effects to the undesirable REJECT MUSHROOM, AMANITA “I’LL PASS” MUSCARIA.
