{snake} = worldline in frozen block universe
{snake biting its tail} = frozen block universe as a bounded region (and boundaries are for crossing, via gates)
Decoded: OUROBOROS CIRCLE, SNAKE BITING Its TAIL [10:25 am November 22, 2024] means the eternalism block universe as a bounded container; the serpent-wrapped cosmos at the top of the onion layer 8: fixed stars — with the implication of affirming & accommodating eternalism, conforming your agency model to eternalism, so as to transcend no-free-will/ fatedness.
When you exert yourself as a control agent in the intense altered state, to avoid loss of control, you must assert yourself as a virtual-only control agent; a VIRTUAL control agent, despite seeing and knowing 2-level control, that you are a helpless thought-receiver, totally vulnerable – else loss of control.
The Cosmic Serpent is the idea of the eternalism boundary of the cosmos, a boundary to cross from 8th to 9th, from the Ogdoad to the Ennead, not skipping the 8th (the no-free-will/monopossibility level), as Wouter “naive freewill thinking” Hanegraaff does by censoring the sphere of fixed stars and deceptively redefining the term “the stars” to mean only the planetary (moving) stars (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn).
Thus (in that sense), you have “transcended” eternalism/ heimarmene/ fatedness/ no-free-will/monopossibility/ non-branching of possibilities.
title key words:
Minkowski Block Universe Invariance General Relativity vs Quantum Physics
Psychedelic Eternalism vs Pop Quantum Spirituality
Saturn Gate into Heimarmene Prison vs Fixed Stars Gate into the Virtual Freewill Supercelestial Empyrian with God and the (Perfected Completed) Elect Above the Stars / Serpent that wraps / bounds the eternalism/ heimarmene block universe. fatedness-ruled
In my 1991 ink brush drawing, a snake in the block rises past outside the block, crying “Liberte!” – that figure is equivalent to the {serpent wrapped around the cosmos}, (biting its tail) which is withjn the sphere of fixed stars, at the top/ upper layer of level 8.
How to Legitimately Leave the Eternalism Block Universe – Not via Quantum Spirituality ( = Naive Freewill Thinking)
Ouroboros = block universe boundary.
To exit the eternalism domain, to leave the block universe, be so good at accepting no-free-will/monopossibility & the control-thought inserter, as a helpless puppet of God, you have viable stable control in the intense Psilocybin loosecog state.
the cosmic serpent, the block-universe serpent ruler
General Relativity vs Quantum Physics =
no-free-will vs freewill thinking
Full awareness of the block universe gives the true kind of freewill; Quantum Mechanics-based pop spirituality sustains the false kind of freewill, prevents & successfully avoids {transformation by encountering terrifying psychedelic block-universe eternalism}.
QM = the bunk way to preserve freewill thinking. vs principled, virtual-only freewill thinking.
I assert myself as a consciously virtual-only control agent, helpless puppet of God, the creator of the frozen block-universe eternalism spacetime block.
Produces stable self-control in the ASC.
Pre/Trans Fallacy: Naive Free Will vs Virtual Free Will
We return to freewill thinking/ experiencing after the peak window, AND in the intense paychedlic state of hyper awareness we are able to effectively control, like an enlightened king.
WHY do pop spiritual people embrace QM quantum physics and ignore block-universe general relativity (called ‘invariance’ by Einstein)? Because QM does not challenge & disprove freewill thinking; QM preseves ego branching power.
The pre/trans fallacy a la Ken Wilber: affirming eternalism fully amounts to transcending/ escaping the heimarmene prison, in that the personal agent is able to cope and exert itself effectively when on the peak state, without loss of control.
That is the real way in which we “transcend” no-free-will/ monopossibility.
The fake, ersatz way to try to have spiritually legit freewill delivered, is to retain untransformed naive freewill thinking by adopting QM.
QM is foggy and mind-creates-reality, “conscious” observation collapses the wave; multiverse.
Every word-choice and version of QM serves the motivation/ purpose of empowering freewill ego power, reifying possibilism-thinking.
The purpose of Schrödinger’s Cat was to reject & ridicule & disprove QM.
I’ve done the QP experiments and written up the lab reports in a 1988 university course in Modern Physics, and got the record highest score on the Relativity exam:
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is merely because when you throw a mass at a mass to measure the position of the latter, reducing the precision.
The limited precision has zilch to do with “conscious observation”. It’s merely that the mechanics of measuring disturbs the particle.
block-universe superdeterminism solves EPR – no faster than light info is transmitted.
first, we pass through Saturn gate at top of the Saturn sphere onion layer, to move from the Seventh sphere/ onion layer to the Eighth level.
Treatise on the Ogdoad (Eighth) and the Ennead (Ninth) – and Septoad (Seventh)
Hanegraaff’s book Altered States of Knowledge has those terms. he skips from freewill thinking (demonized as “heimarmene”) at level 7 straight to the 9th level, that’s outside of level 8
sphere of fixed stars = no-free-will/monopossibility = heimarmene = serpent = serpent boundary – see Ulansey online article about snake-wrapped.
Wouter Hanegraaff leaps past level 8 (heimarmene) & deletes it on his pseudo-transformational journey from naive freewill thinking to faux transcendent virtual freewill that’s really just regressive, untransformed, developmentally stunted, naive freewill thinking.
KEEP CALM AND CONTROL ON, to exit no-free-will/ monopossibility
First, starting in the top of the Saturn layer (freewill thinking in altered state), we repeatedly partially move through the gate into level 8: the sphere of the fixed stars; heimarmene consciousness.
Eventually the mind is fully transformed to be able to maintain calm control in the peak state of awareness of vulnerability, helplessly receiving control-thoughts from the uncontrollable higher controller; the uncontrollable source of control.
At that point, we (the completed/ perfected initiate) transcend no-free-will; we have moved from the Ogdoad 8th sphere-layer through an even higher, star gate, at the top of the 8th onion-layer, into the Ennead 9th sphere-layer.
The Empyrian = fire realm, here resides God the Creator and all of the Elect.

The Standard Mapping of Cosmology to Freewill
astral ascent mysticism levels per the classical geocentric model
9-11 = virtual freewill; practical freewill thinking based in eternalism-thinking
9-11 — virtual freewill, transcendent mastery of eternalism , the Empyrian fire outside the fixed stars, with the Creator & the Elect.
8 = no-free-will; eternalism-thinking (w/o a virtual-freedom emphasis)
8 — no-free-will, eternalism thinking, eternalism awareness, block universe awareness, monopossibility, heimarmene, fatedness.
This is where all the action is at in psychedelic transformation: entering into here via Saturn gate, then exiting upward via God gate, savior gate, to exit the heimarmene prison.
The sphere of fixed stars includes the zodaic (animals) band of 12 out of the 45 or 88 constellations.
The constellations can be viewed from above or below eg Taurus bull facing left vs right; per David Ulansey.
The image of {sage holding celestial sphere} means transforming thinking via psychedelics, first to no-free-will/monopossibility, and then upon completing roasting and burning off for transmutating, transforming to virtual freewill thinking, in which you are able to avoid loss of control while in the peak mystic state.
1-7 = freewill; naive freewill thinking
1-7 — naive freewill [thinking].
the planetary spheres: moon mercury venus sun mars jupiter, & especially SATURN (where is the sacrificing of the pleading/ praying child).
Sphere level 7 is Saturn.
The important Saturn gate is at the top of the Saturn onion-layer.
Hanegraaff’s Confused Cosmology Mapping to Freewill
geocentric cosmology levels:
8-11 = freewill thinking
8-11 freewill (Wouter Hanegraaff actually ends up with untransformed, naive freewill thinking)
biggest confusion: he deletes the fixed stars (ie heimarmene/ fatedness) from level 8, jams them down into Saturn, equates level 8 with TRANSCENDING heimarmene (totally garbled!)
Classically, level 8 = heimarmene (definitively), not yet transcending heimarmene (that doesn’t happen til level 9)
1-7 = no-free-will; fate-controlled thinking/ experiencing
1-7 heimarmene; no-free-will, enslaved by fate
Hanegraaff Falls into the anti-Heimarmene Marketing Twists/ Reframings/ Modifications/ Claims of Late Antiquity
Using Luther Martin’s characterizations of periodization:
early antiquity = psychedelics transform the mind from naive freewill thinking to eternalism-thinking. end-state: no-free-will/ monopossibility.
late antiquity = rebellion against eternalism as the end-state. change the narrative framing; marketing depts:
In competition, all late-antiquity religions proffered an inverted, modified narrative (countersignalling the harsh psychedelic eternalism of early antiquity), that psychedelics transform the mind from (naive freewill thinking &) eternalism-thinking to virtual freewill thinking
The goal & marketing focus of salvation in late antuity is to move from level 8 to 9; concentrate on attaining freedom from the heimarmene/ fatedness prison that early antiquity (psychedelic eternalism) shackled us with.
Scholars claim “Christianity invented freewill thinking”: false.
All the religions of late antiquity invented freewill thinking, in competition against each other: neoplatonism; gnosticism, Christianity, hermeticism, & Mithraism. per my theory’s findings & discoveries.
Fully transforming into psychedelic eternalism = transcending psychedelic eternalism

Block Spacetime Mystic Transformation
Before Quantum Mechanics (QM) was formed, the basic idea of time as a 4th dimension was mathematically formalized in 1908 by Einstein’s math professor Minkowski — entirely prior to QM.
That math formalism was initially REJECTED by Einstein.
I built my system of mystic enlightenment (psychedelic eternalism) on that basic idea of block spacetime — not essentially based on the theory of Invariance/ Relativity, nor based on the later QM.
I’m an example of an entirely satisfying & successful mystic system that is not at all based on QM or Modern Physics, other than the basic idea of time as a 4th dimension (block spacetime), which I think was in the air in that era 1880-1910.
The block spacetime idea relates to (entheogen-based) Greek myth, eg {king saw snake, turned to stone}.
