Armillary Sphere

from messages copypaste:

i integrate the Psilo assumption to the *extreme*.

No watering down, countersignalling, or diluting.

A book club complaint about Yugler’s book on psychedelics, myth, shamanism, & Jung was, where’s the psychedelics emph? weak, on that.

I need this arm. sphere: must have zodiac band w animals, ideally on both sides of band , is the best art

https://www.scienceofgadgets.com/post/how-armillary-sphere-works – good pictures photos

bull facing right means you are looking from POV outside the cosmos , outside the sphere of the fixed stars. per David Ulansey’s solution explaining Mithraism.

this hypercosmic POV = you are outside of & above Fatedness/ heimarmene/ cosmic frozen rock of 4D Spacetime, per Late Antiquity mystery religions via entheogenic experience of hyper-eternalism

if u have picture of u holding arm. sphere, it means u r enlightened w gnosis wisdom

which u r, so.

the sun & planets & sphere of stars revolves around a SPHERICAL earth. not around a flat earth! 😑

Like Hanegraaff, Paul Davidson (the video’s script author) can’t bring himself to mention his “precious” magic word ‘Ogdoad’ (cosmic sphere 8) in the same sentence as “evil” fate-soaked ‘fixed stars’ – a contradictory mess of a narrative results.

Hermetic Writing Title “The Eighth Reveals the Ninth” Proves that I Am Right

Web search: “The Eighth Reveals the Ninth”
https://www.google.com/search?q=%E2%80%9CThe+Eighth+Reveals+the+Ninth%E2%80%9D

when u hang out 2000-2025 theorizing about transcend eternalism, and learn to stand on right foot in Psilocybin, using egoic personal control system (washed clean), to have stable control, you have then moved from … graduated from sphere 8 to sphere 9 the pleroma. –

Never since the album liner notes for Free Will seen such dubious triple-negatives:

http://gnosis.org/naghamm/discorse.html — son, write this book for the temple at Diospolis in hieroglyphic characters, entitling it ‘The Eighth Reveals the Ninth.'”

“I will do it, my <father>, as you command now.”

“My <son>, write the language of the book on steles of turquoise.

“My son, it is proper to write this book on steles of turquoise, in hieroglyphic characters.

“For Mind himself has become overseer of these.

“Therefore, I command that this teaching be carved on stone, and that you place it in my sanctuary.

“Eight guardians guard it with […] of the Sun [David Ulansey’s Mithraism hypercosmic sun].

“The males on the right are frog-faced, and the females on the left are cat-faced.

“And put a square milk-stone at the base of the turquoise tablets, and write the name on the azure stone tablet in hieroglyphic characters.

“My son, you will do this when I am in Virgo, and the sun is in the first half of the day, and fifteen degrees have passed by me.”

“My father, everything that you say I will do eagerly.”

“And write an oath in the book, lest those who read the book bring the language into abuse, and not (use it) to oppose the acts of fate. Rather, they should submit to the law of God, without having transgressed at all, but in purity asking God for wisdom and knowledge.

“And he who will not be begotten at the start by God comes to be by the general and guiding discourses.

“He will not be able to read the things written in this book, although his conscience is pure within him, since he does not do anything shameful, nor does he consent to it.

“Rather, by stages he advances and enters into the way of immortality.

“And thus
he enters into the understanding of the eighth that reveals the ninth.”

“So shall I do it, my father.”

“This is the oath: I make him who will read this holy book swear by heaven and earth, and fire and water, and seven rulers of substance, and the creating spirit in them, and the <unbegotten> God, and the self-begotten one, and him who has been begotten, that he will guard the things that Hermes has said.

“And those who keep the oath, God will be reconciled with them and everyone whom we have named.

“But wrath will come to each one of those who violate the oath. This is the perfect one who is, my son.”

4D-Transcendent Graduation Day for the Egodeath Theory

Upgrade Notice for Transcendent Knowledge PhDs: the PhD has been Upgraded so as to Include Hyper-Eternalism; doubled in value

Litwa’s title for 8th/9th is very interesting: “The Eighth Reveals the Ninth”, supports The Egodeath Theory — now with Hyper-Eternalism!^TM

Wisdom? not so much, in this video 😄

At least Wouter “Star Destroyer” Hanegraaff admits he’s stumped, in a footnote:

“Whether the fixed stars should be included [with Saturn, sphere 7] or should rather be associated with the Ogdoad [sphere 8] remains an open question for me.” 🤡🌌

Hanegraaff thanked me for info about that, so ok 🤷‍♂️

ordered the new Hermetica I book – by David Litwa – & “Cosmology in Antiquity” book to further prove my model of astral ascent mysticism – bound for hyper-eternalism! 😇👼🚀 beyond fixed stars, in the Pleroma with the Aeons spirits.

x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COYJi9CKrGI —

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COYJi9CKrGI

cosmic sphere 9 outside the sphere of the fixed stars is sometimes called “the Pleroma” it seems – same level as Mithraism’s precession of the equinoxes; = transcend no-free-will/ Fatedness; become spiritual, per Late Antiquity.

Houot Withholds His Milestone Discovery per Rise of the Psychonaut: Guess: altered state aliens contact us

Houot’s Brand of (Immature, Irrational, Mentally Ill) Religion, Marketed as “Science”

Houot’s silly brand of science fiction religion with mental alien entities contact in your mind when tripping but selling/marketing/ advertising his tripping as “science explorer discoverer” – A CALL TO POSTURING.

Houot insults religion, yet delivers his own made-up flimsy religion that he calls “Science”, by which he means, take firm control of the wheel of the mental space ship, to steer through the branching manyworlds physical external cosmos and do trade with mental space aliens. T

The closest Houot comes to mentioning the true Physics religion of 4D Spacetime Mysticism is to mention “relativistic” then immed emphasize Quantum” because Houot worships Quantum Mysticism false religion

he believes in the religion of Quantum Mysticism , ignorant of the true religion of 4D Spacetime Mysticism includugin hyper-eternalism / transcendent compatibilism

transcendent compatibilism

p 254, Rise of the Psychonaut , Houot

Answer:
Per
the Egodeath theory <- brand name
the Egodeath theory of psychedelic hyper-eternalism
the Egodeath theory of psychedelic eternalism
the theory of psychedelic hyper-eternalism
the theory of psychedelic eternalism: <- descriptive neutral direct theory descriptor
brand name + descriptive specifier:
the Egodeath theory of psychedelic eternalism

The “hyper-” specifier fits better in first sentence than in short name of the theory.

per the Egodeath theory of psychedelic eternalism:

1) We discover Jan 1988 that no-free-will = ego transcendence.
2) We transcend eternalism. [i was writing about this in 2001, 2007 article integrates it, March 2025 I emphasize best kind of Compatibilism in Marketing framing introducing ppl to Egodeath theory]
3) We figure out how to have stable self-control in Psilocybin. [I think of stand on right foot — when did i fully explain stand on right foot motif / technique? feel my March 2025 work on POSITIONING, characterizing. TO THE SAME EXTENT THAT I EMPHASIZE THAT NO-FREE-WILL/ ETERNALISM IS THE CASE, ALSO TO THAT EXTENT EMPHASIZE FREEWILL EXPERIENCING/ THINKING; VIRTUAL FREEWILL – = A BALANCED VIABLE MODEL & VIABLE FOR MARKETING / COMMUNICATING THE THEORY]
We reach cosmos sphere 9 the Pleroma above outside of eternalism.
We transcend no-free-will.
We reach the cosmic sphere of hyper-eternalism, penetrate through the sphere of the fixed stars.

Rise of the Psychonaut Uses Conventional Debate Position Terms that I NEVER Employ

“sacred” – I never write that word.

“divine” – I never write that word.

The fact that I never employ Houot’s KEY terms, is a big red flag and highly valuable clue that something is off-base — same exact situation within the Mysticism Wars:

“mystical” – I never employ that word in my core theory. I explain the mental dynamics that OTHER people label as “mystical”. I do an anti-Mystical approach to explain that which other ppl call “mystical”.

“naturalism materialism secular” – I never write that word.

“secular” – I never write that word. I never employ that word. I imagine if you search the present site and Egodeath Yahoo Group Max Freakout archive & Egodeath.com, 0 hits on ‘secular’ – it is literally not part of my vocab and CERTAINLY isn’t a part of my lexicon for core theory per

The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death (Hoffman, 2007 main article) http://egodeath.com/EntheogenTheoryOfReligion.htm & https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/the-entheogen-theory-of-religion-and-ego-death-2006-main-article/

2007 wording terms: theory of X:

“The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death explains what is revealed in religious revelation and in enlightenment, including the nature of personal control agency.”

“The essence and origin of religion is the…”

good wording there:

“Self-control stability is restored upon transforming one’s mental model to take into account the dependence of personal control on a hidden, separate thought-source, such as Necessity or a divine level that transcends Necessity.”

(“transcend Necessity” – i didn’t say you can transcend Necessity; i said GOD could perhaps do so)

the 2007 Summary/Intro conclusion para:

“Myth describes this mystic-state experiential insight and transformation. Religious initiation teaches and causes this transformation of the self considered as a control-agent, through a series of visionary-plant sessions, interspersed with study of perennial(!) philosophy. Most modern-era religion has been a distortion of this standard initiation system, reducing these concepts to a weak interpretation that is based in the ordinary state of consciousness.”

around apr 1 2025, noted: Mithraic lion-headed gatekeeper figure — SNAKE HEAD IS ABOVE HIS HEAD!! David Ulansey’s solution explaining Mithraism misses that? Supposedly the lion’s head is above sphere of the fixed stars ; above heimarmene – BUT, YET, the snake’s head is still ABOVE the lion’s head!

that 2007 article section cites (“Heimarmene or universal fatedness was centrally important in ancient astrological cosmology (Barton 1994), and was a major theme in Hellenistic-Roman astral ascent mysticism and religion (Cumont 1960). Transcending astral fatedness“):

at 1:20:00, Sledge rejects both errors (just like Brown positions themself as centrist by rejecting mushroom imagery in Christian art (St. Walburga tapestry, definitely not Amanita) and affirming it by also at the same time displaying that same art in beautiful gallery of awesome instances of definite Amanita imagery in Christian art):

Avoid psychedelics eliminativism – I agree, that is baloney.
Avoid DMT reductionism (“it’s always DMT”).

Sledge means: Avoid entheogenic reductionism; avoid saying that the way esotericists accessed the altered state of consciousness was always psychedelics.

Sledge is wrong. This is false centrism.

In fact, the way ppl had the altered state of consciousness sufficient for mental model transformation is always, exclusively psychedelics, no other method.

That’s my official firm position.

My Wussy Half-Truth in 1997 like the traditional methods of the mystics are non-drug entheogens

“There are multiple triggers for the dissociative cognitive state, including psychedelics, meditation, schizophrenia, sensory deprivation, hyperventilation, temporal-lobe epilepsy, UFO abduction, and near-death experiences.” – Michael Hoffman 1997

“the” dissociative state? maybe, but that is BS, in that it is not sufficient to cause mental model transformation from possibilism to eternalism. “DIZZY DOESN’T COUNT” – Michael Hoffman slogan.

“Dizzy Doesn’t Count”

{balance scale} = BS

I give NO credit to claims of “the traditional methods of the mystics” that are allegedly non-drug.

Non-drug entheogens is academic balony, with ZERO substantiation. It is pure doctrinal positioning, a circle of academics pleasing each other, not reality.

I wimped and caved, in:

BEING SLIGHTLY DIZZY PROVES MY POINT:

Heavy breathing makes you dizzy – it does not cause mental model transformation, mental model transformation from possibilism to eternalism. which is the only thing that’s relevant for this debate.

“Authentic esotericism is entheogenic esotericism. Entheogens are the key to esotericism. This is the simplest possible theory of esotericism, and the most natural, the least contrived and strained. Theories of esotericism that are not based on entheogens suffer from the problem of grandiose verbiage, unmet promises and claims, chronic vagueness, excuses for lack of potent and prompt efficacy, and no ability to deliver the experiences which are talked about. Drug-free esotericism doesn’t work; it is not effectively ergonomic.” – Michael Hoffman, Egodeath Yahoo Group, June 12, 2004

that lacks definition: “sufficient for mental model transformation from possibilism to eternalism” – note also: hyper-eternalism

When You Think of Psychedelics Extremism, Think Egodeath theory

I agree, Justin Sledge, it is always Psilocybin, never DMT. Do not say it’s always DMT. It is always Psilocybin. (It is never Wouter Hanegraaff’s non-drug entheogens.)

Per hardline Egodeath theory:

No one ever had mystic experiernc any way other than Psilocybin.
Academics lie when they emphatically proclaim their DOCTRINAL STATEMENT OF FAITH that “there are many ways to produce same effect as Psilocybin” – LIARS CLUB. Fabricicated alt methods do not work, defined as: they do not produce sufficient effect. re strength or reliablility. note however, Cuebensis is not as reliable or ergonomic as blotter. Cubensis is hard to worrk with, for Psilocybin transformation.

The Evil Creator: Origins of an Early Christian Idea (M. David Litwa, 2021)

[hypoth: 150 AD, everyone flipped to be anti-cosmos/ anti-eternalism story/narrative – and we see this loud & clear in orig Christianity]

The Evil Creator: Origins of an Early Christian Idea
M. David Litwa, 2021
https://www.amazon.com/Evil-Creator-Origins-Early-Christian/dp/0197566421/ —

Blurb:

“This book examines the origins of the evil creator idea chiefly in light of early Christian biblical interpretations.

“It is divided into two parts.

“In Part I, the focus is on the interpretations of Exodus and John.

“Firstly, ancient Egyptian assimilation of the Jewish god to the evil deity Seth-Typhon [lion serpent?] is studied to understand its reapplication by Phibionite and Sethian Christians to the Judeo-catholic creator.

“Secondly, the Christian reception of John 8:44 (understood to refer to the devil’s father) is shown to implicate the Judeo-catholic creator in murdering Christ.

“Part II focuses on Marcionite Christian biblical interpretations.”

[Litwa thinks Classical Antiquity Hermetica … planets give good gifts. Corruption added in Late Antiquity: negative Fate planets inserted]

Value-Flip from Positive Planets in Classical Antiquity, to Negative Fate Planets in Late Antiquity

book blurb con’t:

“It begins with Marcionite interpretations of the creator’s character in the Christian “Old Testament,” analyzes 2 Corinthians 4:4 (in which “the god of this world” blinds people from Christ’s glory),

“examines Christ’s so-called destruction of the Law (Eph 2:15) and the Lawgiver, and shows how

“Christ finally succumbs to the “curse of the Law” [eternalism?] inflicted by the creator (Gal 3:13).

A concluding chapter shows how still today readers of the Christian Bible have concluded that the creator manifests an evil character.”

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Nevertheless, the book offers an extremely helpful and compelling exploration of the various voices in the early Christian centuries who held this view, making clear that it was sufficiently widespread that it cannot be explained as a late anomaly.”

— James F. McGrath, Butler University, The Society of Biblical Literature

“It is a highly recomendable book which will introduce its readers in a world of practice and reflection on how people developed novel Jewish forms of life in the aftermath of the crisis of the first and second major Jewish revolts against the Romans, and the re-writings of these debates in later times.”

— Markus Vinzent, San Miguel de Abona

“The Evil Creator is a thoughtful and historically-responsible reading of the Bible.

“Examining the Creator Deity of the Bible through the lens of various early Christian interpreters who themselves long ago identified many of the same concerns that modern interpreters struggle with today makes this book not only a valuable contribution to the field of Biblical Studies but also important for modern readers who ponder the God of the Bible.”

— Kevin Sullivan, Illinois Wesleyan University

“David Litwa is to be congratulated for this book, which is both well-researched and thought-provoking.

“He compellingly delineates here how the idea of an inferior creator-God arose directly from what was said in some of the earliest and, for many, sacred Christian texts, including Paul’s letters and the Gospel of John.”

— Ismo Dunderberg, author of Beyond Gnosticism: Myth, Lifestyle, and Society in the School of Valentinus

Email 3 to Timothy Freke 8:35 am Mar. 29, 2025 – Su: 2nd-phase Egodeath theory beyond 4D spacetime block-universe eternalism & beginner Unity glimpse

Look forward to YouTube, your views on beyond nonduality.

I reject BOTH of Chris Letheby’s Phil-Dept options: he says when he is in altered state, he says only mind exists.

Sober, he says only matter exists.

Reject both, irrelevant.

Defining mysticism as “Unity” is for beginner glimpse only.

Control transformation is more where it’s at, and “relational” mysticism; personal control system: from monolithic, autonomous control, to 2-level, dependent control.

Engineering is to provide a useful, relevant model of Transcendent Knowledge – ie, personal control system: control transformation.

That is relevant, not “unity/ nondual realization” – that’s not real mysticism/ enlightenment, which is more relevant and practical.

Control stability in Psilocybin state via mental model transformation.

from:

literalist ordinary-state possibilism with monolithic, autonomous control

to:

analogical psychedelic eternalism with 2-level, dependent control

Email to Timothy Freke 9:10 am Mar. 30, 2025 – Su: 2nd-phase Egodeath theory beyond 4D spacetime block-universe eternalism & beginner Unity glimpse

Hi Timothy,

We both are refining and balancing and adjusting our mature expressions of Transcendent Knowledge.

Compatible with religious myth & the ancient conclusions/ model: be sure to consider this time tested Psilocybin Wisdom, given that you are balancing your view. This is the sure view to commit & articulate to ACTUALLY benefit everyone.

Without this view, spiritual theorists are not actually benefitting ppl; such a malformed model fails the Reference Test given by Psilocybin, The Teacher of Righteousness.

Wisdom = Respect illusory egoic freewill thinking.

For stable control in Psilocybin state, the mental model of the personal control system is reshaped per 4D spacetime eternalism (your future course of thoughts is already set in stone): if do not affirm that, do not have stable control. Fall down.

But also affirm spirit rises above heimarmene-soaked fixed stars.

Even though Fatedness is the case and YOUR FUTURE COURSE IS ALREADY EXISTING IN FUTURE GIVEN TO YOU unalterable, set in stone;

king frozen powerless statue (king sees snake, is turned to rock statue); {snake frozen in rock}.

Surrendered to Heimarmene cosmic rock prisonkeepers archons at body & psyche level,

ONLY THE SPIRIT rises above Fatedness, your future thoughts are frozen embedded in rock.

You helplessly receive your control-thoughts, which are non-branching and already exist frozen in rock. Experienced in altered state.

Use egoic freewill power of steering in APPARENT branching possibilities but repudiate that, too! in a way.

Completion of Initiation; perfection; purified & reconciled.

Stable control in Psilocybin state. The TEST OF TRUTH.

If you don’t repudiate freewill power claim steering in branching tree, unstable self-control.

Yet ALSO affirm the egoic personal control system; you must affirm compatible child + adult mental model.

Use freewill child thinking AND repudiate relying on it: it is virtual only.

CONSTRUCTIVE INTEGRATION OF REVELATION OF 4D block-universe eternalism w no-free-will but w 2-level, dependent control (relational mysticism ) rather than taking monolithic, autonomous control too literally like childish thinking:

per the medieval art genre, Psilocybin heyday of mushroom-trees:

Medieval had a fully developed use of Psilocybin, depicted via {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs ; mushroom-trees genre.

keep your left foot, but rely on / stand on right foot ; use BOTH adult no-free-will AND child-like freewill thinking.

stand on both feet: virtual freewill AND actual no-free-will; virtual possibilism thinking AND mature, eternalism-thinking

To be a-thanatos, immortal, no longer dying ego death / control instability,

the resulting BALANCED combination of mental models is

qualified possibilism-thinking.

Now you are washed clean, able to pass through guarded gate to eat from tree of life while stable viable personal control system. Important end of Bible study Rev 22.

Final 2 pages of bible – study; especially fav Rev 22:14 —

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.

In advanced psil state, branching possibilities is revealed as illusion when see inner workings of the egoic personal control system who exerts power of steering in a branching tree to create the future

non-branching means non branching: snake shaped pathvof ur future life ; = enlightenment that one’s snake-shaped path in 4D spacetime, tgat path is seen frozen in rock, imprisoned in fate rock, slave

now you are a competed purified initiate enlightened. honoring the gods. no lomger turmoil & trespassing, bringing impurity that raises fury stormy anger of the insulted DISRESPECTED gods.

the path for you is decided from outside your control, done deal, future path non-branching possibilities, only the path forward is real, stone-

NEXT, reincorporate the egoic personal control system, w adjustments cleansing child-thinking.

Ken Wilber “embrace and include ” childish thinking of branching steering, and use the egoic personal control system which u now perceive & use all the time, corrected, purified, made mature

“Reach Fate” Achievement Earned!

Treat this Isaac, your child thinking, like u r riding a donkey – ur BELOVED only son. dont get rid of ego; use it, dis-indentify w it, egoic thinking was only an immature-phase, temporary level of identifying, it it always will be used; reconciling and” ride” egoic thinking.

Be inclusive: SUPPORT and love your egoic, childish, branching-possibilities, freewill thinking.

REGAIN FREEWILL, ABOVE FATE

no-free-will & 4D spacetime eternalism/ heimarmene is the case (else control instability during Psilocybin) – but also,

finally, above the heimarmene fixed stars per Mithraism & Late Antiquity, you kinda get freewill, monolithic, autonomous control again — but, merely VIRTUAL,

qualified possibilism-thinking , “set free from Fate heimarmene cosmic prison ransomed rescued lifted up – rise above fate(!)”

The first easily accessible translation of the esoteric writings that inspired some of the world’s greatest artists, scientists, and philosophers.

Here is an essential digest of the Greco-Egyptian writings attributed to the legendary sage-god Hermes Trismegistus (Greek for thrice-greatest Hermes), a combination of the Egyptian Thoth and the Greek Hermes.

The figure of Hermes was venerated as a great and mythical teacher in the ancient world and was rediscovered by the finest minds of the Renaissance. The writings attributed to his hand are a time capsule of Egyptian and Greek esoteric philosophy and have influenced figures including Blake, Newton, Milton, Shelley, Shakespeare, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Jung.

Providing a fascinating introduction to the intersection of the Egyptian and Hellenic cultures and the magico-religious ideas of the antique world, The Hermetica is a marvelous volume for anyone interested in understanding the West’s roots in mystical thought.”

“Explore the Essential Teachings of the Ancients

“Serving as a theological basis for major world religions such as Christianity and Islam, the Hermetica has had an influence on Western culture that cannot be overstated.

Max Freakout Triveryhigh [very, very, very high]

blurb con’t:

“The collection of Greek texts-attributed by some to the legendary Hellenistic god Hermes Trismegistus (literally, Hermes the thrice great) in second-century Alexandria-is said to represent the divine philosophical and mystical practices of the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt (around 3000 BCE).

In this creative, approachable introduction to the central ideas and essential teachings of the Hermetica, authors Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy offer a profoundly inspiring gateway to understanding and appreciating the profound wisdom of the ancients.

“Following an enlightening historical overview of the material contained in the massive Corpus Hermeticum, Freke and Gandy present a diverse sampling of Hermetic thought with extracts of Hermes’s beautiful, poetic writings on topics including

creation,
the cosmos,
human culture,
prophecies,
the Zodiac,
incarnation of the soul,
death, and
immortality
, and others.

Along with each free-verse extract, the authors provide helpful commentary that explains the original text and places it in context for modern readers.

An invaluable resource for initiates in Hermetic studies or anyone seeking a deeper understanding of human spirituality, mysticism, and consciousness [Houot rejects spirituality, rejects mysticism, DOES Houot REJECT PSYCHEDELIC STUDY OF CONSCIOUSNESS?] [whatever those are supposed to me],

“this book belongs on the bookshelves of any who seek a greater awareness of humanity’s place in the cosmos.

Michael A. Williams Review of Litwa’s Book

“Readers interested in why so many ancient Christians concluded that the creator was evil have here in one book an extremely well-researched assemblage and exposition of evidence suggesting answers.

“Litwa reviews the role of

indigenous Egyptian myth,
Graeco-Roman philosophical argument, and above all,
interpretations of Jewish and Christian scripture.

His sobering concluding chapter reviews how ancient evil-creator doctrines live on today.

An important contribution on a perennial theological challenge.” — Michael A. Williams, University of Washington, Seattle

“This book should be taken in the context of early theological divisions between ancient Jewish and early Christian sects and used to deepen our understanding of the extreme changes theological positions can take over time.” — Rob Perry, Religious Studies Review

“M. DAVID LITWA is a scholar of ancient Mediterranean religions with a focus on early Christianity.

Just to show what I mean, I enclose two specimens: a miniature of ca. 990 which shows the inception of the process, viz., the gradual hardening of the pine into a mushroom-like shape, and a glass painting of the thirteenth century, that is to say about a century later than your fresco, which shows an even more emphatic schematization of the mushroom-like crown.

But even that is not very probable because even the most mushroom-like specimens show some traces of ramification; if the artists had labored under the delusion that the model before him was meant to be a mushroom rather than a schematized tree he would have omitted the branches altogether.

And I really recommend to look up that little book by A. E. Brinckmann.

“Mushroom-Trees” in Christian Art (Giorgio Samorini, 1998) https://www.samorini.it/doc1/sam/sam-alberifungo-1998.pdf & https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/mushroom-trees-in-christian-art-samorini/ –
That was the first time that I created such a page, containing someone’s article, the purpose was not to add my markup & commentary; the purpose was to make his unreadable article pdf readable.
Adding headings.
Addidng whitespace.
Breaking up paragraphs.
Inserting better, color pictures.
Needed b/c he sent me article long ago, but not digestable.

I made such a page – I did this first with Samorini “Mushroom-Trees” in Christian Art (Samorini 1998) b/c it is a hugely crucial article – not to overlook his shorter Wasson the Plaincourault fresco article in 1997.

Though Samorini sent me the print articles 97 & 98, they are b/w not color, and the 1998 article is far, far too dense to comprehend; my page format style is tons & tons of white space, adding I added headings by using each picture caption in Samorini article as a heading.

I ALWAYS badly need a toc for every book, that listas EEVERY heading, not just damn chapter title, usseless!

I cannot digest a book w/o the full toc of all headings.

One time a couple years ago, I dictated by voice, all headings of a book, I think, a few years ago, which book??
See site map, books section. Possibly an article it was.

it works well for portion of article, but that means, this way would work ultra great for entire article. eg it is very hard to digest:

If only I had my own post/page w/ full text of article – don’t need all formatting / b/c have pdf to READ.

I need a spot to WRITE and way to add format highlight.

WORKS GREAT! The most efficient way, works better for article than for book, eg I can easily work w/ Brown 2 bb19 gbut hard to work w/ Brown 2016.

The equiv page format for a book is: voice dictate the outline of all headings of book, in a page, and comment on each section heading.

Wouter “Star Destroyer” Hanegraaff

Ripoff: He sells you the sphere of the fixed stars (Ogdoad, sphere 8), but without any stars in it! He removed the fate-soaked stars and moved them to Limbo — not Saturn sphere 7, not in Ogdoad sphere 8 — just …. nowhere.

Over here, Hanegraaff’s cosmos model.
Over there, in null space, the fixed stars. not a SPHERE of fixed stars; rather, all of the stars, removed from the sphere which they defined, #8.

What a weird non-cosmos cosmos.

His book tells us about enlightenment of the Truth… but Wouter “Star Destroyer” Hanegraaff delivers malformed Yaldabaoth instead.

Hermetic Spirituality and the Historical Imagination: Altered States of Knowledge in Late Antiquity

Blurb:

“In Egypt during the first centuries CE, men and women would meet discreetly in their homes, in temple sanctuaries, or in solitary places to learn a powerful practice of spiritual liberation.”

The Egodeath theory Marketing Department sells you “spiritual liberation” by making you a slave of Fate, frozen embedded {snake frozen in rock} — and then a half step higher raises merely only your tiny Spirit portion above Fate.

“They thought of themselves as followers of Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary master of ancient wisdom.

“While many of their writings are lost, those that survived have been interpreted primarily as philosophical treatises about theological topics.

“Wouter “Star Destroyer” Hanegraaff challenges this dominant narrative by demonstrating that Hermetic literature was concerned with experiential practices intended for healing the soul from mental delusion.”

“The Way of Hermes involved radical alterations of consciousness [THROUGH NON-DRUG ENTHEOGENS] in which practitioners claimed to perceive the true nature of reality [slave of Fate frozen in Rock, helpless puppet] behind the hallucinatory veil of appearances [virtual illusion of freewill steering among branching possibilities].

Generic Book Review by Cybermonk: “This book is not entirely bad; it has a couple good sentences”

Scholarship is a matter of highlighting the good sentences and phrases, and ignoring the fluff.

What are the good points that Ruck, Huggins, Houot deliver, that have the potential to be a good idea after they are fundamentally repaired and transformed?

Houot is smart to propose battle over Great Canterbury Psalter: “All mushroom-trees mean tree, not mushroom, because they have branches.” I accept your terms of battle, given that mushroom-trees have cut branches.

At the moment I have the text of two articles David Ulansey’s solution explaining Mithraism.

My task and scholarship strategy is to highlight the valuable words and delete the worthless words.

With Houot, my task is to vooice transcribe all headings into an out

Headings Outline of Rise of the Psychonaut

Which sections are valuable?

Which sections are worthless?

Which 3 sentences of the book are valuable, as opposted to the worthless remainder? This is the positive attitude a scholar must have especially in the field of entheogen scholarship.

My aim is to exemplify and be a model of constructive scholarship: which two sentences of Rise of the Psychonaut are not worthless? 😊👍

God: “I will relent from burning the book, if you can find one good sentence in it.”

Image contributed to Brown Virtual Gallery of mushroom imagery in Christian art by Michael Hoffman, found maybe 2003, uploaded to WordPress / web Dec. 2020

Announcing: Brown Virtual Gallery of mushroom imagery in Christian art [check name of db in 2019 brown article – not “committee”, failed idea]

Browns’ Dual Dogmatic Pitfalls

ALL YOUR MICA ARE BELONG TO US.

Browns forfeited their Psychedelic Gospels theory v1, because they identified it with their wise [foolish] rejection of Walburga tapestry which they are strangely glad to display crowning their brilliant gallery of MICA both in 2016 & 2019 – QUADRUPLE PENALTY FOR BROWN & BROWN 2016 & 2019.

Browns’ Dual Dogmatic Pitfalls; Browns Fell Into their Own Dogmatic Pit in that speccically, their Exhibit A – Bet The Farm, is, “Walburga is vial therefore not mushroom plus serrated base therefore can’t be Amanita”, is what they mean by “the dogmatic pitfall of seeing mushrooms everywhere”; when I caught this ~Nov 2020, that constituted Browns fumbling the ball, and I picked up their failed psychedelic gospels theory v1 and now i running w it away, my Psychedelics Gospels theory v1;
ALL YOUR MICA ARE BELONG TO US. They forfeited the Psychedelic Gospels theory v1 because they identified it with their rejection of Walburga

My finding of Browns’ Walburga error led to Prof Jerry Brown asking if Cyberdisciple & I wrote an article about compelling evidence & criteria of proof for identifying mushroom imagery in Christian art, so i did, in Nov 2020, which led to my huge breakthrough via f134 Eadwine’s leg-hanging mushroom tree image in the Great Canterbury Psalter. eventuating eg in my 2025 perception in the seemingly well picked-over, even by Huggins’ Foraging Wrong article 2024, f11 Great Canterbury Psalter comic panel – 6 Days of Creation + Eden, picked over by everyone since 2000 Paul Lindgren, yet, MASSIVE discoveries remained FAILED to see by me Nov … I failed since when d.. 2001 “Conjuring Eden” ? does it show 6 days? does M&M ARthur 2000 show 6 Days?? If so, I was blind to Day 3 branching forms progreession, & Day 4 4 mushrooms pointing to {balance scale} , since 2000: TOOK ME 25 YEARS , took entheogen scholars 25 years to open their eyes to see. “well picked over image” yet WE ARE BLIND.

The Holy Mushroom: Evidence of Mushrooms in Judeo-Christianity Paperback – October 29, 2008

Jan Irvin, Jack Herer

(Color edition)

“Christianity and the Piltdown Hoax (one of the largest academic scandals in history) share many similarities:

“In both stories the information was constructed and then salted into the information stream, and, through the word of noted scholars, presented as fact, the truth.

“Scholars have egos and once committed to their ideas through scholarly publications, faculty meetings, and conferences, have difficulty seeing, hearing, or even appreciating an adverse view.

“To waver from a strongly held opinion could spell academic ruin and withdrawal of acclaim.

This leads to lively debate, counter stories, and even character assassination if one side or the other is being out trumped in the symbolic mêlée.

Jan Irvin (The Holy Mushroom) has captured what we might call an “anthropology of clarification” regarding whether or not mushrooms, and mind-altering substances in general, played any role in the development of not only Judaism and Christianity but the total culture in play at that time.

It is now recognized in many academic communities (anthropologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, psychologists) that sufficient evidence exists of the importance of these substances, both textual and visual, to say “yes” in very large letters.

It is no longer theory.

“The questions Irvin asks are these:

“If mind-altering substances did play this major role, then how would this affect our interpretations of the Bible and the Qur’an?

“Would this shed light on the origins of mystical experiences and the stories, for example Abraham hearing voices and Ezekiel’s convenient visions?

“What would this suggest about the shamanic behavior of Jesus? [BROWN ERROR: DISPROOF OF BROWN LUMPING TOGETHER FALSELY CLAIMING THAT IRVIN SAYS JESUS DIDN’T EXIST; afaik, Irvin always held position: agnostic about if Jesus existed]

What impact would this have on organized religion?”

These are bold questions.

This is a very useful volume for those interested in the Holy Mushroom and the politics of truth.

Detailed and wonderfully illustrated;

great bibliography.”

~ Professor John A. Rush, Sierra College”

Conclusions Section of Brown 2019: “Academically Irresponsible” Wasson

Wasson’s Thug Bully Force Tactics to Deceive and to Try to Impede Scholarship

Wasson’s Thug Bully Force Tactics to Deceive and to Try to Impede Scholarship – Take Note, Sleazy Huggins, DEFENDER of Panofsky-Wasson, the Bad Company You Hang With and Play Cover For:

You Deniers Ain’t Lookin’ So Hot, Not Looking Very Credible, Huggins – and where did you find about the two Panofsky letters, Huggins?

and why didn’t you credit Brown 2019 for pub’g them?

and why didn’t you help ppl find the letter so that everyone -NOT JUST YOU w/ your twisted misuse of them?

Browns wrote:

“due to Wasson’s preeminent position
as a leading authority on the study of entheogens and
religion, this lack of disclosure was especially damaging to
the nascent field of ethnomycology. In effect, Wasson’s lack
of transparency combined with his relentless personal and
professional attacks on Allegro stymied widespread scholarly
inquiry into the study of entheogens and Christianity for
nearly half a century.” OH BUT HUGGINS PLAYS DEFENSE FOR THIS SCOUNDREL!

MICA Deniers = DEFENSE OF IMPEDING SCHOLARSHIP; Huggins in Foraging in Wrong Forest gives EXCUSE, “Wasson didn’t prevent entheogen scholarship from asserting mushroom imagery in Christian art after Wasson.”

What a pathetic excuse, Huggins, defending the con artistry by Wasson. What kind of scumbags are MICA Deniers? They stoop to censorship, and then they excuse it:

“Wasson’s Attempt to Force MICA Denial, Which Irvin Complains About? This Is Fine” – Huggins’ Foraging Wrong Article

“Yes, we MICA Deniers use deception and censorship, as Irvin claims, but that’s ok, b/c entheogen scholars asserted mushroom imagery in Christian art, after Wasson’s moves.”

Brown is correct: Wasson was ACADEMICALLY IRRESPONSIBLE, and Huggins takes the side of Wasson, running cover for Wasson’s DUPLICITY?!

Shame on Huggins!

Wasson also insulted and attacked the leaading mycologist too, AND ALL MYCOLOGISTS, Dec. 1953, John Ramsbottom in person, via letter, which Ramsbottom retaliated rightly in defense of mycologists, by exposing Wasson’s committed skeptic stance of “Rightly or wrongly, we are going to reject the Plaincourault fresco as Amanita”

– credit: Irvin, circa Irvin contributing research to the article Wasson and Allegro on the Tree of Knowledge as Amanita (Hoffman, 2006), http://egodeath.com/WassonEdenTree.htm

Browns article has scathing coverage; read it all.

CONCLUSIONS

TODO: ADD TO MY DEMOLISHING OF the FRAUD Gordon . . . .🔍🧐🤔 Wasson:

“Revisiting the epic Wasson– Allegro controversy [thank God they didn’t write “debate” here] in light of new evidence reveals that Wasson did behave in an academically irresponsible manner in not publishing the second letter from art historian Panofsky that favors [BROWN IS WRONG HERE — unless! we are talking about Wasson’s PRIVATE knowledge, his PRIVATE view, that (fkking OBVIOUSLY) mushroom-trees mean mushrooms, as leaked by Ruck writing “Wasson’s conclusion” in “Daturas for the Virgin”] Allegro’ s interpretation of the 13th century Plaincourault fresco as a psychoactive A. muscaria mushroom.

“During his 1952 visit to the Chapel of Plaincourault in Central France, Wasson mysteriously did not investigate the nearby Abbey of Saint Savin or the Church of Saint Martin de Vicq, which would have provided significant evidence of entheogens in medieval Christianity, thereby contradicting his [bullsh!t lying public fraudulent, deceptive, duplicitous, con-artist, scheming demon, designed to mislead ppl away from Brinck bk etc] claim in Soma that their remote role in Judeo-Christianity ended around 1000 BCE.

“Wasson’s function at J.P. Morgan as the “ Pope’ s banker” furnishes a [100% extreme CONFLICT OF INTEREST GREATER THAN ANY OTHER IN THE WORLD EVER] powerful financial motive for his refusal to pursue [and his alas successful effort to impede scholarship!] the thesis regarding the entheogenic origins of religion into Christian art and artifacts, as well as for his rejection and ridicule [yes, Wasson acted the rude, THUGGISH, insulting, bully, pr*ck, high-pressure tactics] of Allegro’ s writings in The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross.

“While Wasson’ s [*lyingly proclaimed fake public PROPAGANDA funded by the Vatican] views* [his pretended public “view” != his actual, private view] stymied research on entheogens in Christianity for decades [until finally THE BIG BANG OF 2nd-generation entheogen scholarship (the Explicit Psilocybin paradigm): “Mushroom-Trees” in Christian Art (Samorini 1998; 96; 97)] after the publication of Soma in 1968, a new generation of 21st century researchers [Brown lists Michael Hoffman of Egodeath.com first] has documented growing evidence of psychedelic A. muscaria and a variety of species of psilocybin-containing mushrooms in Christian art, consistent with Samorini’ s typology of “ mushroom-trees.””

Samorini’ s so-so typology of mushroom-trees

I criticize Giorgio Samorini’s effort to typology, but ok.

Yes we must analyze forms of mushroom imagery in Christian art / mushroom-trees; branching form of mushroom-trees,

but Giorgio Samorini is merely an ATTEMPT and wrongly says the Dancing Man salamander bestiary’s mushroom-tree is Amanita, in his b/w article;

And, Giorgio Samorini badly tries to make our sacred the Plaincourault fresco — b/c its Amanita — the paradigm model for all typology effort.

DO NOT START WITH Amanita OR the Plaincourault fresco AS THE FUNDAMENTAL BASIS FOR ENTHEOGEN SCHOLARSHIP & TYPOLOGIES ANALYSIS.

Start with {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs including mushroom-tree branching form analysis per my math article:
YI Tree Branching Morphology: Formal Theory of Fractal YI Scope of Analysis of Branching-Message Mushroom Trees – Day 3 of Creation in Great Canterbury Psalter is a great example, for teaching, as provided deliberately by Eadwine:

If the image that the “spot the mushroom” hunter contributed is YI tree, that’s correct.
If the image that the “spot the mushroom” hunter contributed is an IY tree, or, Jesus’ donkey stands on Left foot, that means the ignorant shlub screwed up and reversed the art.

Wouter Hanegraaff, Dedicated Teenaged Mushroom Collector

“As a teenager, I joined the Dutch Mycological Society and became a devoted collector of mushrooms. I found myself instinctively attracted to those twilight realms of the natural world that tend to be overlooked by biologists concerned with daytime creatures such as animals and plants… But while I enjoyed their fairy-tale aura of mystery and magic, studying mushrooms in fact gave me an early training in empirical research, attention to detail, and systematic scientific thinking from which I have profited ever since.”

“The windows are called variously, the poor man’s bible, theological windows or typological windows as they were used as a [SECRET] teaching medium probably mainly for the [SECRET] monks.”

Per Ruck Committee, we need to correct the informational page: “The YI mushroom-tree indicates that this is a cult, secretly, oppression, hidden, secret cult, surreptitiously slipped in heretical Christian members-only sect, alien infiltration into the very heart of the institutional Church.”

THE DEFEATIST NARRATIVE TAIL WAGGING THE ENTHEOGEN HISTORY EVIDENCE DOG

The mushroom-tree in this image of Lot is yet another example of cult, secretly, oppression, hidden, secret cult, surreptitiously slipped in; heretical Christian members-only sect; alien infiltration into the very heart of the institutional Church.
Ruck Committee, hastening to wrap the mushroom imagery in Christian art in a barrier boundary jail to protect their driving, master, social drama narrative of “counterculture havers of The Mushroom, in perpetual defeat battling against the mainstream mass of organized Christian society” – music to the ears of Prohibition Profiteers – DEFEATIST NARRATIVE TAIL WAGGING THE ENTHEOGEN HISTORY EVIDENCE DOG

The Ruck Committee (1st-generation entheogen scholarship (the Secret Amanita paradigm)) hastens to quickly wrap every incoming instance of mushroom imagery in Christian art in THEIR narrative’s required barrier boundary jail, to protect their driving, master, social drama narrative of “counterculture havers of The Mushroom, in perpetual defeat battling against the mainstream mass of organized Christian society” – which is music to the ears of Prohibition Profiteers – the Ruck DEFEATIST NARRATIVE TAIL WAGGING THE ENTHEOGEN HISTORY EVIDENCE DOG. Which Andy Letcher demolished like David vs. Goliath using a single instance of mushroom imagery in Christian art that Ruck cannot possibly do his usual move on, of enwrapping one of Bern’s seven Liberty Cap mushroom-trees in a hermetically isolated barrier to protect the narrative of defeat, at all costs: gotta keep The Mushroom bounded-about, behind a protective barrier, to keep The Mushroom separated from the general population, BEHIND THE RUCK BARRIER WALL OF “HERETICAL CLOSED MEMBERS-ONLY CULTS/ SECTS/ GROUPS” and my God, even the releaatively good thinker Giorgio Samorini — FAILING to be a 2nd-generation entheogen scholar (the Explicit Psilocybin paradigm) — in 1997 wrote “certain Christian communities”.

Samorini, why not write simnply, “some Christians” or “some people in Christendom?”

Why do you have to fabricate “certain communities” – citation needed; on what basis, Samorini, failure of a 2nd-gen entheogen scholar, do you pull out of thin air YOUR construction, “communities”.

On what basis do you pull out your word, “communities”?

Samorini, why do you have to attach your arbitrary word, your FABRICATED, CONCOCTED, NARRATIVE FRAMING, “certain Christian communities” used The Mushroom?

Where did you come up with “communities” instead of Christians, individuals mixed in with the entire community of Christendom?

What’s with your barrier wall, members-only, closed, exclusive boundary construction?

2nd-generation entheogen scholarship (the Explicit Psilocybin paradigm) is Anti-“Communities” of Entheogen Users

Darth Hanegraaff’s Alderaanization of the Fixed Stars

https://egodeaththeory.org/2025/03/18/hanegraaffs-inability-to-place-fixed-stars-in-sphere-7-or-8-proves-rebirth-is-into-fate-not-freedom/#Darth-Hanegraaffs-Alderaanization-of-the-Fixed-Stars

What is the Egodeath theory? Summary

The entheogen content & my sites: Wouter Hanegraaff is trying to push the edge within stodgy academia.

My sites are breath of fresh air for academia & light years ahead: I’ve been extending my 1988-1997 core theory by adding myth & esotericism since 1998-2025.

You probably told me already but what is the ego death theory?

Nutshell summary of the Egodeath theory:

Psilocybin or blotter loosens cognitive associations, causing mental model transformation about the personal control system, from steering among branching possibilities as a monolithic, autonomous control agent, to instead, future control-thoughts already exist as if frozen in rock, killing ego; reveals 2-level, dependent control

analogy: from {king steering in tree} through {mixed wine at banquet} to {snake frozen in rock}

You end up with qualified freewill thinking.

Nutshell summary of the Egodeath theory: Intro of my main article:

Mobile version of my 2007 main article:

The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death
http://egodeath.com/mobile.htm

Overview

The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death explains what is revealed in religious revelation and in enlightenment, including the nature of personal control agency.

The essence and origin of religion is the use of visionary plants to routinely trigger the intense mystic altered state, producing loose binding of cognitive associations.

This loose cognitive binding then produces an experience of being controlled by frozen block-universe eternalism (determinism) with a single, pre-existing, ever-existing future.

Experiencing this model of control and time initially destabilizes self-control power, and amounts to the death of the self that was conceived of as an autonomous control-agent.

Self-control stability is restored upon transforming one’s mental model to take into account the dependence of personal control on a hidden, separate thought-source, such as Necessity or a divine level that transcends Necessity.

Myth describes this mystic-state experiential insight and transformation.

Religious initiation teaches and causes this transformation of the self considered as a control-agent, through a series of visionary-plant sessions, interspersed with study of perennial philosophy.

Most modern-era religion has been a distortion of this standard initiation system, reducing these concepts to a weak interpretation that is based in the ordinary state of consciousness.

Wouter Hanegraaff on Mushrooms

https://www.wouterjhanegraaff.net/about —

“As a teenager I joined the Dutch Mycological Society and became a devoted collector of mushrooms.

“I found myself instinctively attracted to those twilight realms of the natural world that tend to be overlooked by biologists concerned with daytime creatures such as animals and plants.

“But while I enjoyed their fairy-tale aura of mystery and magic, studying mushrooms in fact gave me an early training in empirical research, attention to detail, and systematic scientific thinking from which I have profited ever since.”

It is barely worth your reading now, but I plan to put ideas there b/c starting have good substantial ideas.

Can’t promise to spend time posting Amazon bk review:
Tip/Strategy: give 5 stars + give Pros & Cons & chapters desc.

Done 1st pass reading, listened 2x to Rise of Psychonaut. I now have a few ideas. Beginning to write them up or do voice recordings, idea development for critique of your book.

My newest writings at site are roughest – ranges from published journal articles through rough mobile shorthand idea development.

I really appreciate your good pronunciation & vocalization.

Room for improvement: PROJECT more, do not sound like you are quietly reading.

For psychological reasons, back off the mic.

Stand up, 2′ back from the mic, and PROJECT, to sound like you are talking to an audience in the room, not like you are quietly reading into a mic.

One person in book club said you got worked up too much and were shouting – in early part of book, saying some point he disagreed with.

I’m baffled by his claim.

In fact you err in speaking too calmly, and need to PROJECT like you are talking in a room to someone, during loud daytime.

I’m very happy w/ your voice recording and the UI of Audible.

Paid full $24 yikes, as well as bought your book.

Bonus: I am stunned to discover that just before my huge breakthrough in Great Canterbury Psalter, in early November 2020, I purchased Thomas Hatsis’ audiobook of Psychedelic Mystery Traditions.

So after I re-listen your book a few times, I will hear the clownish banana on skates [Roller Derby banana-suit coach who does scholarship like roller derby high-impact fisticuffs] – he is almost on my Block list, because he is quite aggressive, while giving confused utterances like “you’re not allowed to cover Psilocybin, because you come from Amanita Allegro theory” [false] and famously, “The shape of the liberty cap is anachronistic”.

I will enjoy listening to Hatsis’ book read by him.

I bought his print book AND ebook AND voice recording!!

Amazon ought to sell all 3 for slightly more than price of print book.

Dear Michael,

Thank you for taking the time to read my book, to really comb through it.

I appreciate it.

My aim was to make readers think differently about these visionary substances, and I hope that something was sparked within you.

Regarding the audiobook:

I followed their lead since they were the audio/sound professionals. I simply sat and read.

It was harder than I thought, especially managing my breathing in between sentences while not having the microphone pick up every possible sound apart from the spoken word.

I’ve visited your website a few times.

It appears that you have enough material to write a book.

I encourage you to do so.

It’s a wonderful and challenging experience.

Thankful that the book club leader talked about your audiobk format in conjunction with printed bk. It’s a great supplement to printed book.
the most $ , but UI & your execution is great.

I have ideas to rebalance my critiques / pros / cons to favor you, but my fingers need rest.

I think my book review template will work great, easy:
Summarize pros cons.
& key words for each chapter.

I wonder why you did not mention surrenderism 🤔🤔 except 4 hits, in Rise of the Psychonaut, given that you wrote a lot in dissertation & Psychonaut’s Ship article.

I am eager to read aloud, for Egodeath Mystery Show, your Psychonaut’s Ship article, which I have completely read on paper.

I scientifically identify the dynamics of surrender, the folk wisdom- compare your work to Michelle Janikian book that well expresses the folk crude wisdom of surrender to the experience – whatever that means– I specify in STEM terms.

You should’ve gone deep on the etymology of “cyber”, the most important thing, unstable self-control cybernetics leading to self-control climax & mental model transformation.

You halted at the wrong, mere Pop misusage of ‘cyber’; vs deep etymology myth history.

Multiple valences possible that resonant with eternalism:

The noun FATA, which I translated as “The Fates,” can also mean “death.”

The verb REGUNT, which I translated as “direct,” can also mean “rule.” Latin for “king” is REX.

The noun ORBEM, which I translated as “world,” can also mean “wheel.”

The verb STANT, which I translated as “depend on,” can also mean “stand still” or “are motionless.”

The adjective CERTA, which I translated as “fixed,” could also be translated “determined.” It generally refers to something that is unchanging.

Glad I finally quoted Wouter Hanegraaff’s index entries on “Ogdoad” to get a good look at his assertions.

I only made it 1/3 through them, but it is clear that he is high on non-drug entheogens.

“the Ogdoad above heimarmene”

Where are you getting this, Hanegraaff?? Citation needed!!

The fixed stars, you rightly say, are Fate; heimarmene (block-universe eternalism).

So where the heck do you put the fixed stars, including the zodiac constellations?

Into Hanegraaff’s Rejected wastebasket.

🤷‍♂️ –>

Hanegraaff is definitely wrong , he maybe latched onto some deviant text saying “above Saturn = above Fate”.

I LOVE TO SIT IN JUDGEMENT OVER ANCIENT systems or art:

Any ancient text that says the highest Fate sphere is Saturn is INFERIOR.

Art that fails to support the Egodeath theory is BAD ART.

Modern-era Entry into Jerusalem paintings:
Jesus’ donkey lifts the WRONG FOOT!

ART FAIL.

Clueless artists & ancient writers getting it wrong.

The Bible is WRONG overselling Amanita.

The ancients are WRONG when they say Amanita is better than any mere psychedelic, that it’s a mythic realm, super-psychedelic that’s far better than mere Psilocybin or reality.

After all, I’ve been saying since 1986: mystics are bad at writing, let me handle this, I have to do it myself, explaining usefully and clearly, since they are muddled thinkers and writers.

Myth that confirms to the correct standard of judgment — the Egodeath theory of psychedelic eternalism — is superior myth.

If the data don’t support the theory, too bad for the data, THE THEORY IS CORRECT.

My Oct. 1, 2018 Email to & from Erik Davis: Expanding Mind podcast: Eric Wargo discusses Block Universe “determinism” per the Egodeath theory

Erik Davis’ Expanding Mind podcast, episode September 27, 2018 with guest Eric Wargo, discusses Block Universe “determinism” per the Egodeath theory (around the final third).

https://expandingmind.podbean.com/e/expanding-mind-%E2%80%93-time-loops-092718/

“In part one of our conversation, author, blogger, and dreamer Eric Wargo talks about uncertainty, determinism, Zen, the evidence for “feeling the future,” and his brilliant and head-spinning book Time Loops: Precognition, Retrocausation, and the Unconscious.”

The discussion in the podcast comes close to comparing the “open future, branching possibilities” model to a *tree*, or a king steering in a tree, and to comparing the “block-universe with worldlines” model to a *snake*, or a snake embedded in rock.

The discussion comes close to mentioning the archetypal most-terrifying experience, of perceiving future control-thoughts as frozen in a pre-existing, snake-shaped rail embedded in spacetime with no change, or more exactly, no meta-change.

Typhon, the father of all monsters, refers to experientially perceiving one’s *Block-Universe Worldline* in the mystic altered state, removing the sense of personal control power: encountering the dragon that guards enlightenment.

The dragon (a serpent as *the* monster) demands prayer, reconciliation, and sacrifice, which means repudiation of the premise of relying on personal control power steering in a tree into the open future, relying instead, consciously, on pre-given personal control-thoughts that were established by the hidden, uncontrollable creator of the spacetime block.

The mind retains the original model of time and control, now qualified, and adds a new model of time and control, progressively revealed in the altered state in a series of purifying sessions of “mixed wine”, and eventually retained (conceptually, not experientially) in the ordinary state.

This model of psychedelics and mixed wine emphasizes the psycholytic, cognitive loosening effect of psychedelics.

The series of sacred meals given by the god leads to an overwhelming feeling and experience of “remembering” an epic, mythic-scale climactic peak experience of control-seizure realization, forcing a dramatic mental reconfiguration, with sacrifice and rescue, transforming the mental model of personal control power and time.

There are two models of time (and implicitly, of control) in Philosophy, which are contrasted in mythology, and are experienced in the two states of consciousness:

o First, the Tree model, called “Possibilism” in the Philosophy of Time, experienced and perceived in the ordinary state of consciousness, which has tight cognitive association binding. More fully, this model is described by analogy as a king steering in a tree.

o Second, the Snake model, called “Eternalism” in the Philosophy of Time, experienced and perceived in the altered state of consciousness, which has loose cognitive association binding. More fully, this model is described by analogy as a snake frozen embedded in rock.

The contrast between the initial tree view vs. the later snake view (after initiation into the sacred meals given by the gods), is depicted in Hellenistic and Biblical mythology as a rigid snake on a debranched tree, and other combinations of king or tree, vs. snake or rock, such as:

Hellenistic religious mythology:

o The staff of Aesclepius the healer (snake on debranched tree trunk).

o A snake on a debranched tree trunk (sculpted in rock) on ossuaries (stone coffin, depository for the bones of the dead).

o A snake on a debranched tree trunk (sculpted in rock) propping up statues.

Biblical religious mythology:

o Moses’ healing brass snake on a pole (a tree with the branches cut off), to prevent death by snake bite (that is, restabilizing mental control after ego death that results from perceiving Block-Universe Worldlines).

o The comparison of king Jesus fastened to wood (“hung on the tree”) to Moses’ brass snake lifted up on a pole, given as a “sign”.

Mythology describes psychedelics experientially revealing the block universe and no-free-will.

More generally, listing all the terms in the four key concept-categories:

{religious mythology, analogy, metaphor}

describes

{the altered state, psycholytics, psychedelics, entheogens, psychotomimetics, loose cognitive binding, loose mental construct processing}

experientially revealing

{Eternalism, Fatedness, Heimarmene, the block universe, frozen time, determinism, no meta-change}

and

{non-control, Cybernetics, control cancellation, self-control seizure, rail of control-thoughts, worldline, no-free-will, no meta-control}.

‘Determinism’ is an ok, familiar term for the Minkowski/Parmenides *Block Universe* with embedded pre-existing *Worldlines* of personal control, but ‘determinism’ amounts to a particular narrow theory about *how* it is that the future is pre-set: through domino-chain causality acting from one moment to the next.

‘Eternalism’, a less familiar but more relevant term, doesn’t emphasize the supposed domino-chain causal mechanism acting through time, but instead emphasizes timeless pre-existence of the future, especially the most fearsome, destabilizing, and dis-empowering perception, the pre-existence of the future rail of personal control-thoughts, frozen, unavoidable, unchangeable, the snake dragon monster guarding the treasure of enlightenment and mental transformation.

The Possibilism (tree) and Eternalism (snake) models of time are depicted in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, though without recognition of the archaic mythology contrast {tree vs. snake}, or {king in tree vs. snake in rock}, which I recognized without the Philosophy terms ‘Possibilism’ vs. ‘Eternalism’ on November 23, 2011, and then with those terms on November 29, 2013 (announced December 1, 2013).

Hanegraaff’s Inability to Place Fixed Stars in Sphere 8 Proves Rebirth Is into Fate, not Freedom

I heard back from Wouter Hanegraaff today re my latest / best Hanegraaff page:

Hanegraaff’s Inability to Place Fixed Stars in Sphere 8 Proves Rebirth Is into Fate, not Freedom

Zep IV book is missing crucial concept from Late Antiquity, “transcend heimarmene”

Zep IV book is missing crucial concept from Late Antiquity, “transcend heimarmene“, and that was not well developed at Egodeath.com in 2003.

The book correctly represents Classical Antiquity, not Late Antiquity. p. 118 & 122.

Hard to pick just 1 year where I added that – in 2000, Coraxo was right, my 1997 2-level model doesn’t work for Late Antiquity Gnosticism, and I immediately started theorizing about idea “transcend heimarmene”, but your book proves that Egodeath.com didn’t fully develop or present that idea – it is in my 2007 main article:

https://egodeaththeory.org/the-entheogen-theory-of-religion-and-ego-death-2006-main-article/#Transcending-Determinism-Requires-Two-Jumps

or equiv url at Egodeath.com

Erik Davis applauds Hanegraaff’s non-drug entheogens, therefore signs on board with proposing non-drug psychedelics

You egg-on Wouter Hanegraaff’s monstrosity “non-drug entheogens”, but you’d sing a different tune were someone to propose equivalently, non-drug psychedelics.

Yes, heavy breathing, active imagination, meditation “can/ could/ might/ may” give you AN altered state, but, that’s much too feeble to cause THE mental model transformation – the only one that counts.

Meditation makes you dizzy – not discover self-transcendence of personal control system; cybernetic seizure & mental model transformation.

Chemist David Nichols agrees: meditation must have come from Psilocybin, that’s the only thing strong enough to cause religious myth dynamics.

ONLY Psilocybin (or modern era: blotter) is sufficiently strong to cause THE mental model transformation: transformation from possibilism to eternalism; causing terrorizing egoic claim to be my own source of control-thoughts.

The latter goes unstable and discover vulnerability stairway to ascend, the control vortex, the gateway: the control-vulnerability is discovered in loose cognition state from Psilocybin, only — not sufficiently experienced via all these alleged, “the traditional methods of the mystics” other than Psilocybin.

Led Zep IV Adding a 3rd Phase (Transcending Heimarmene): Details

1. naive freewill thinking

2. eternalism-thinking

3. qualified possibilism-thinking

Rise above Fate-soaked the sphere of the fixed stars, lifted there by Mithras or equivalent in every Late Antiquity brand of Mystery Religion. Spirit portion of mind, only, rises above heimarmene/ block-universe eternalism.

When you read Egodeath.com in 2003, I was starting to confirm that:

Classical Antiquity equated Transcendent Knowledge (Psilocybin transformation) with mental model transformation from possibilism to eternalism, terminating in heimarmene/ Fate/ no-free-will/ {king frozen in rock}; eternalism – sort of like “determinism” but future already exists.

Late Antiquity inverted the values to the extent possible given that they still affirmed that heimarmene is the case, yet just only the spirit portion can sort of “transcend heimarmene”, transcend Fate; transcend eternalism.

I call this a cultural shift from revering heimarmene to selling instead, transcending heimarmene. From a 2-phase model of Psilocybin transformation, to a 3-phase model.

Classical Antiquity:

1. naive freewill thinking; possibilism-thinking.

2. revelation of heimarmene; eternalism, valued positively.

Late Antiquity:

1. naive freewill thinking; possibilism-thinking.

2. revelation of heimarmene; eternalism, valued negatively.

3. transcend heimarmene; transcendent freewill.

per Ken Wilber’s Pre/Trans fallacy, this looks like freewill thinking, but, has a different basis – I do not control the source of my control thoughts.

Grow {beard}, {sacrifice child} (child-thinking), move through {guarded gate}, pay toll at rock/fire/blade {altar} to pass through the {gate} into land of — first, heimarmene, then – in Late Antiquity – proceed a little to sort of transcend heimarmene.

David Ulansey’s solution explaining Mithraism: born out from the cosmic rock, above the sphere of the fixed stars, reaching level of precession of the equinoxes.

I re-checked Zep IV p. 118 (astral ascent mysticism) & 122 (the Egodeath theory) — you just missed my 2004-era beginnings of forming the 3-level, 3-phase model, including “transcend block-universe determinism” better called block-universe eternalism.

Actually around 2000, I started working on adding this level “higher than no-free-will”, or “higher than block-universe determinism” — NOT reflected in my 1997 outline summary of my 1988-discovered theory, which strictly terminates – like Zep IV book – at block-universe eternalism; heimarmene.

But in 2000, Coraxo in Gnosticism Yahoo Group, pointed out that my 1997 2-phase model (mental model transformation from possibilism to eternalism) is unable to discuss Gnositicism’s goal of transcending heimarmene.

— which was the goal of every brand of religion in Late Antiquity – in contrast to Classical Antiquity, which Zep IV book covers and Egodeath.com 2003 mainly emphasizes.

— Michael Hoffman, the Egodeath theory of psychedelic eternalism

Email 2 to Erik Davis, Mar. 24, 2025

Zep IV book accurately represents the emphasis on experiencing no-free-will, in Rock.

We have not yet built above that the idea also of in a way, transcending no-free-will.

Late 20th C, Psychedelic Rock lyrics terminate in block-universe eternalism / block-universe determinism, unless you count Rush song Freewill as asserting “transcending no-free-will”.

Typical blotter Rock expresses tragic amazement at no-free-will revelation – not emphasizing “transcend determinism”.

“On a 1997 radio show “The History of Classic Rock”, I heard the apocalypse of the early 1970s, the day the music died; some 26 years earlier, freewill thinking took a fatal spearing of the heart, leading inevitably to its death. Through bubbling audio distortion, the full album Led Zeppelin IV played, time stopped, this passing age had been speared and the end was inevitably near for collective freewill thinking.”

My god I heard that on the Classic Rock station Dec. 1997 during an EPIC album history festival, what a journey.

That song struck me with confirmation of my recent, Feb. 1997, outlined/ summarized, original, Core, Phase 1 theory.

Not covering the history of religious myth and entheogen scholarship yet – that started 1998, my Phase 2, Mytheme theory work.

By 2001, shown in the Egodeath Yahoo Group archive from Max Freakout, I was working on adding the concept of “transcend determinism”.

I didn’t find the word ‘eternalism’ until the day after I finalized my Phase 2, main article, 2007 – though that was still missing comprehension of the art motifs of {branching} & {handedness}, figured out in 2013, 2015, and especially Nov. 2020… continuing into 2025.

My main article, in 2007:
http://egodeath.com/EntheogenTheoryOfReligion.htm

My Phase 2 theory, integrating religious myth, is summarized in my main article, September 2007 – the day before I switched from ‘determinism’ to ‘eternalism’.

That expanded outline of the Egodeath theory includes “transcend block-universe determinism”.

My 1997 Core theory terminates in block-universe eternalism, and lacks the idea of “transcend eternalism” – so that original-phase explanatory model (1988-1997) is “period-correct” — but is not adequate to discuss Late Antiquity’s project of “[in a slight sense] transcend Fate”.

If Coraxo hadn’t pointed out my theory’s limitation in 2000 (in the Gnosticism Yahoo Group), I certainly — inevitably; predestined — would have figured it out soon anyway, because in 1998 I started looking to religious myth to corroborate my 1988-1997 2-level, core theory.

I would have seen, as I did around 2003, that Late Antiquity emphasized in the Marketing dept. of every brand of religion: “Only OUR religion elevates you above Fate; all other brands make you a slave of Fate.”

They all reified Fate even while selling transcending Fate.

1998-2007, I was reading all books on myth and religion with a focus on “determinism”/ heimarmene, and experiencing it after sacred eating and drinking. If Coraxo hadn’t corrected me in 2000, something else would have, and did, anyway.

Coraxo’s point was a memorable explosion that started my differentiation between
Classical Antiquity (terminating in heimarmene); aim for block-universe eternalism.
Late Antiquity (terminating in transcending heimarmene); aim above block-universe eternalism (while yet affirming that block-universe eternalism is the case).

Coraxo was only one of many factors that corrected my 1997 2-level, 2-phase model, as soon as I in 1998 switched to scouring religious myth to corroborate my Core theory, 2-level theory.

Late Antiquity created a “2-1/2 level” or “2-1/2 phase” model.

Consider the title “Treatise on the 8th & 9th / Ogdoad & Enneand) cosmic spheres:

The initiate asks to be brought to the 8th & then 9th.

First bring me to no-free-will/ block-universe eternalism, then, teacher, bring me, right after that, to its companion sphere:

from the sphere of the fixed stars to above that, precession of the equinoxes (David Ulansey’s solution explaining Mithraism).

The MAIN Psilocybin transformation trajectory is transformation from possibilism to eternalism; rebirth into {snake frozen in rock} — exactly like Classical Antiquity said, the Psilocybin revelation is transformation from possibilism to eternalism – that is 8/9 of the “complete initiation” effort.

It took me a lot of work, it has been requiring a lot of theorizing lately, to frame and sell and position my correct relation of

“reach eternalism” vs.

“end up kinda w/ same freewill as ever, transcending eternalism, sort of”.

I’s been a lot of work for me to move above the sphere of the fixed stars into sphere 9, precession of equinoxes, born from the cosmic, heimarmene-snake-wrapped cosmos to reach the Empyrean, dwelling place of all the Elect.

The Elect are sort of in the sphere of the fixed stars, but more, they as spirits dwell above the the sphere of the fixed stars, in the 9th sphere, outside the Fate-soaked cosmos.

Rise of the Hubristic Psychonaut (Houot, 2025)

March 22, 2025 – I am starting to add book review content near:
https://egodeaththeory.org/2024/12/24/rise-of-the-psychonaut-houot-2025/#My-Book-Review-Draft-Notes

My Condemnation of Modern-Era, OSC-Based, So-Called “Myth” 👎👎

https://egodeaththeory.org/2024/12/24/rise-of-the-psychonaut-houot-2025/

Added info in the above page re: Simon Yugler’s extreme botching of Medusa myth, which confirms my condemnation of modern-era “myth”. https://egodeaththeory.org/?s=%22Simon+Yugler%22

todo: gather my “Jugler Medusa” criticisms.
https://egodeaththeory.org/?s=Yugler+medusa+invisible

Yugler Exemplifies Characteristic Modern Corruption and Obscuring of Myth

Simon Yugler writes the myth accurately of Perseus vs. Medusa, and yet, he mixes in with it, his own, LUNATIC mythmaking that DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS THE BASIC IDEA of that myth, directly contradicting the actual myth and his own accurate telling of the actual myth.
https://egodeaththeory.org/?s=Yugler+medusa+invisible

Perseus Looks at Medusa’s Face

This is an attempt to destroy myth!

Jugler writes “Perseus looks at Medusa’s face.”

NO, NO NO!!

You are directly contradicting yourself and the basic, essential idea of the Medusa myth; this is madness, Yugler!

WTF!! Are you insane?!

[todo: link to my detailed post at this site]
https://egodeaththeory.org/?s=Yugler+medusa+invisible

As you yourself wrote just 2 paragraphs / pages ago, you cannot look at Medusa’s face and live.

Medusa Is Invisible

This is an attempt to destroy myth!

Juller writes “Medusa is invisible.”

NO, NO NO!!

You are directly contradicting yourself and the basic, essential idea of the Medusa myth; this is madness, Yugler!

WTF!! Are you insane?!

As you yourself wrote just 2 paragraphs/ pages ago, Perseus, not Medusa, wears Hades’ magic cap of invisibility.

PERSEUS IS INVISIBLE.

The notion that “Medusa is invisible”) is modern baloney psychobabble REPLACING the sound, coherent myth.

Jungianism Sucks Because It Replaces, Not Clarifies, Myth

Jungianism sucks: It adds its own, wrong, clueless, modern-era overlay on top of the pre-Modern myth, thus destroying and obscuring and directly contradicting the basic idea that’s expressed by the actual ancient myth.

Correct Use of Analogy

Houot book DOES mention correctly, analogy, vs. metaphor. chapter 10 at 33:22, 80% through. Section: Analogical reasoning, p. 165, simile & metaphor too.

The Jungian approach is an abuse/ misuse of analogy.

https://www.google.com/search?q=define+analogy –

“An analogy is a comparison between two things in order to explain and clarify.”

Perfect for the Egodeath theory! This is like a description of the Egodeath theory, Phase 2, which in 1998 went to Mr. Jesus/Paul and instantly realized

Instantly realized that LITERALISM HISTORICITY ASSUMP FAILS TO CONFIRM the Egodeath theory; BUT AT SAME TIME, INSTEAD, GOOD INTERP OF MYTH AS ANALOGY DESCRIBING Psilocybin Psilocybin transformation IS PERFECT APPRORPIATE APPROACH THAT WILL VERY LIKELY SUCCEED and then by 2003, I felt that it worked: inddedd, myth is analogy describing Psilocybin transformation.

“Instantly realized” in 2001 thanks to Timothy Freke & Peter Gandy’s book The Jesus Mysteries, 2001, https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Mysteries-Was-Original-Pagan/dp/0609807986/ & I met w/ them underground to discuss entheogens (semi-censored by their publisher) & myth.

Freke in another book asserts spiritual psychedelics. And no-free-will, like the advaita meditation guy – not Ken Wilber! – Ramesh Balsekar, who Andrew Cohen & Ken Wilber discussed in the magazine What Is Enlightenment?

Rubes Andrew Cohen & Ken Wilber were SHOCKED by Ramesh Balsekar saying (crudely) enlightenment = realizing no-free-will.

Like in 1995, all Christians rediscovered Calvinism / Reformed theology and were SHOCKED!

That was like 2 years after I discovered that confirmation of the Egodeath theory. I was a little ahead of that curve, the late late modern era rediscovery of Reformed theology. thus i say WE BADLY NEED BOOK: HISTORY OF *ALL* FORMS OF DETERMINISM.

Stop silo’ing that key, main, central topic!! Like Pagels badly silo’s in her 1st 3 books: “the topic of free will vs. determinism in no way is at all related to topic of predestination in theology“. “Don’t cross the streams.” says Pagels and everyone.

Ramesh Balsekar conjoins the interests of Kafei & the Egodeath theory.

Ramesh Balsekar is the common link that brought together Kafei & Michael Hoffman’s Egodeath theory.

Wow, awesome new type of keyboard shortcut! A refinement/ variant of the recent new type: keyboard shortcut for book/ article citation. Great idea: include my site’s link within the expansion! powerful! Can’t wait to try/use this approach!

Per the Egodeath theory,

metaphor is bad (literary, confusing writing).
analogy is good (comparisons for purpose of clearly explaining).

Like Wouter Hanegraaff says (per my reading of him) do not make myth-based pseudo-history the basis of academic scientific actual history of esoteric pseudo-history.

We are to write the actual scientific history of tales of esoteric pseudo-history. Don’t cross those two streams.

the Egodeath theory is not BASED IN myth. Previous explanatory frameworks failed b/c they were based in myth, hazy thinking & communication. the Egodeath theory utilizes myth as analogies for purpose of clearly explaining. the Egodeath theory is not based in myth.

The Egodeath theory explains and uses myth.

The Egodeath theory is based in clear STEM thinking & communication of explan fwk; a science-based (or, Engineering useful tech based) explanatory framework.

Fav Article Title: J. Z. Smith: “In Comparison a Magic Dwells”

https://classics.osu.edu/sites/classics.osu.edu/files/Magic_Dwells.pdf

That’s related to my above point, that Elaine Pagels’ books 1-3 acts like the topic of free will vs. determinism has NOTHING to do w/ theology topic of predestination. I hate how the history of versions of determinism is silo’d, preventing people from realizing:

The Key Central Topic of Everything Is, Free Will vs. Determinism [Better: Possibilism vs. Eternalism]

Why don’t ppl realize that the topic of free will vs. determinism is the key to everything?

Because the topic of possibilism vs. eternalism is has been fragmented and silo’d into 10 different separate fields AS IF they were unrelated topics, but really it is manifestations of the same topic/ concern/ Psilocybin transformation revelation.

eg in theory of time, off-track blind contrast discussions are off base: “presentism vs. eternalism”. Same in YouTube vids about “eternalism” – they wrongly say “eternalism is constrasted w/ presentism”. No!

From the most relevant and terrifying (during Psilocybin) personal control system POV, it is actually possibilism that’s contrasted w/ eternalism. I am forced to admit, from a non-focused POV, we must consider – in the Phil classroom — Presentism. and,

From the Psilocybin loose cognition POV/ state, yes, we have hyper Presentism of awareness.

But in loose cognition, most relevant for control stabiltiy, is transformation from possibilism to eternalism.

Not presentism, which is merely a Phil dept topic & also is one aspect of Psilocybin experience.

In the relevant, useful, exciting, non-boring Psilocybin state, the clash is not … the Psilocybin transformation is not from Presentism to Eternalism; it’s transformation from possibilism to eternalism. The mind is made to repudiate not presentism, in the sacriice for gate-passing-through, but rather, repudiate possibilism.

The first, childish, sacrificed, repudiated worldmodel, {king steering in tree}, is possibilism, NOT presentism. When that is repud’d, control cs results.

keyboard shortcuts not defined:
control stability [CS]
stable control [SC]
stable personal control [SPC]

expect c s = “control system”? but already defined are:
personal control system [PCS]
the egoic personal control system [EPCS]

cybernetic self-control seizure [CSCS]

from {king steering in tree} [= possibilism; NOT presentism!] through {mixed wine at banquet} to {snake frozen in rock}

The mind does NOT transform from presentism, presentism is nothing but a stupid Phil dept notion.

Irrelevant to Psilocybin transformation.

otoh, possibilism is extremely relevant to Psilocybin transformation.

that’s why discussions treatments of “eternalism” are stupid and irrel even including effectindex.com Josie Kins’ treatment of eternalism, and YouTube MISSING THE PERTINENT POINT:

They wrongly pit the Phil dept notion of “Presentism” against a kind of Eternalism that fails to focus on the personal control system PROBLEMATIZATION OF PERSONAL CONTROL GIVEN ETERNALISM.

Sure, Wm James’ domino-chain cuauslity article 1897 has some points about cancelling personal control system, but , fails to relevantly integrate.

James fails to grasp/consider eternalism; he tries to get to eternalism from freewill-soaked notion of domino-chain determinism that Kafei rejected when Kafei misread my main article Sep 2007 final draft b/c only the following day did I discover and announce the words ‘eternalism’ and ‘superdeterminism’ – as conventionally defined, neither “determinism” nor “eternalism” nor ” superdeterminism” grasp the important points: problematization of control during loose cognition experience of eternalism, forcing to repudiate relying on possibilism – NOT repudiate presentism, which is just a stupid Phil dept notion invented by half baked Chris Letheby.
Our childish initial worldmodel – which we keep, by the way; we preserve it like Isaac and per Ken Wilber – we ride consciously , after enlightenment , the lower, childish Possibilism worldmodel.
Not ride & use childish presentism

prmj

“presentism”, a mis-focused, irrelevant, ordinary state-based term from armchair philosophy department (Chris “only mind exists” Letheby, late to class from tripping all night in his dorm room), having nothing to do with & not useful in any way for the ego death experience

Thomas Hatsis posted “Allegro is my fav author” in his blog, and then goes around attacking everyone by projecting his own #1 fanboiism of Allegro onto other entheogen scholars.

Hatsis projects his own personal childhood trajectory of folly onto everyone else, even me who is 0% influenced, in my intellectual trajectory, by Allegro.

I never heard of Allegro or his stupid Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory until AFTER my Feb. 1997 outline of my core theory.

Similarly:

Chris Letheby wrote (published) that when he’s tripping in his dorm room, he insists “only mind exists”.

He wrote that then, when he comes down, he flips and insists only “only material exists”.

Both are irrelevant positions. re the most important experience, control transformation.

The debate between whether “only mind exists” or “only material exists” is irrel to control transformation in Psilocybin state, & control instability that drives mental model transformation.

Max Freakout & I agree that the useful practical, relevant, useful model is:

We can’t know if the external world exists, beyond the wall of mental construct representations, but, it is useful to assume it does; useful for control transformation in the loose cognition state.

So, build a model on THAT foundation.

Pure distraction is Phil debate “only mind exists” vs. “only external material world exists”.

Irrel for control crisis; the experience of the threat of catastrophic loss of control.

Dittrich’s OAV questionnaire Angst/ Dread/ DED dimension item 54: “I was afraid to lose my self-control.”

Why did Griffiths obtain the Angst items from 11-Factors’ re-factoring of OAV’s Angst dim, isntead of directly copying the 21 Angst items directly from OAV’s Angst dim?

b/c that way, he can “accidentally” overlook & exclude the 8 items – incl item 54 – that were too broadly powerful to fit exclusvely into either one of the new, low-level factors, ANX or ICC.

But why didn’t the B-tier, lower-IQ ppl on Stud’s team put — obviously, item 54, “anxiety about control” GOES INTO HALF OF THEIR HALF BAKED “ICC” LO-LEV FACTOR, “Impaired Control and cognition”.

Questionnaire Authors 1) Conjoined Impaired Control + Impaired Cognition into single factor; 2) placed item 54 fear of loss of control into ANX anxiety factor, why?

Why not into ICC factor initially?
3) “dropped” 54 from ANX.

I would have expected them to put 54 in ICC – impaired control – where there’s no way in they could’ve dropped it, and they woulda known obviously WE GOT A BIG PROBLEM.

Thats’ a Thomas Hatsis quote, confused about the position of Brown & me; the Explicit Psilocybin paradigm:

Hatsis 2020 assumes he can attribute Irvin 2008’s view onto Brown & me.

You guys got a big problem.

Imagine an alt, better reality of how Stud group ought to have defined neg Factors in the 11-Factors questionnaire: so as to prevent Grift from missing 8 negative effects out of 21, when concocting the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ): What if this had happened:

Stud group’s b team, who was assigned to make-up some lo-lev factors within their renamed “Angest” hi lv … goddamnit i have to voice recording. can’t type , MUST REST FINGERS. true, at 1:34 pm March 22 2025 I am pulling out from editing the present page.

1) 11-Factors Questionnaire Should Not Have Made a Single Factor Scoped as ICC; “Impaired Control and Cognition”

2) 11-Factors Questionnaire Should Not Have Initially Placed OAV’s Item 54 “Fear of Loss of Control” into the ANX “Anxiety” Factor; Should Have Put It into ICC (or better, an IC) Factor Instead

3) 11-Factors Questionnaire Should Not Have Dropped OAV’s Item 54 “Fear of Loss of Control” into the ANX “Anxiety” Factor; Should Have Put It into ICC (or better, an IC) Factor Instead

4) Griffiths Should Not Have Gathered Initial Item Pool from 11-Factors’s low level factors; Ought to Have Copied from OAV’s Angst Dimension DIRECTLY, to not overlook 8 broad effects items of 21

4) Griffiths Should Not Have Gathered Initial Item Pool from 11-Factors’s low level factors (thus overlooking 8 too-broad items), but Should Have Instead Drawn Directly the Complete Set of All 21 Items from OAV’s Angst/Dread Dimension –

By using the ill-formed middleman questionnaire 11-Factors, which is an overlay on OAV that makes change 1 & change 2 , Grifty overlooked 8 of 21 neg Psilocybin effects [and went on to arb delete 10 more, leaving only 3 of 21 neg Psilocybin effects, deleting 84%, magically reaining 3/21 = 14% of neg Psilocybin effects, yet p. 1 “the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) is awesome b/c it is BROADER collecion of neg Psilocybin fx than SOCQ/MEQ & HRS & OAV/5D-ASC Combined!

Change 1: 11F renames OAV’s Angst/Dread/ DED dim as “Unpl Exp” and that becomes a hi-lev dim in comparison to their added shiny Mktg dept “factors” they add.

Change 2: 11F adds to the Angst dim of OAV, relatively lo-lev “factors”, but, they unconsciously create what i call Shadow Factor 13, (vs its complement i cal “Virtual Factor 12” within “Pleasant Exp” hi-level dim which = OAV’s O + V dims = Ocean + Vision dims). When they “drop” 8 items from their lo lev factors ANX & ICC, that means, the 8 items still remain, within their non-Marketed, non-Advertised, hih level “Unpleasant” dim which exactly = OAV ‘s A Dread DIM. The 8 items ….

Alternatively, Grifty could have copied entire “Unpl Exp” hi-lev dim from 11F questionnaire, which includes the 8 “dropped from factors” items, as well as the 7-8 ANX items + 6-7 ICC items

draw diagram: venn: OAV’s Angst dim = 21 items = 11F’s “Unpl Exp” hi-lev dim;

11F’s hi-level “Unpleasant Experiences” dimension consists of 3 groups of items: Studerus team unconsciously ended up defining 3, not just 2, low-level Factors within their renamed “Unpleasant Experiences” high-level dimension:

‘S’ (Shadow Factor 13) – incl OAV’s item 54: Anxiety about Control
‘ANX’ (Anxiety)
‘ICC’ (Impaired Control and Cognition)

What a fkking mess! Studerus never explains:

Why we made 1 factor combining two different things: impaired control & impaired cognition.
Why we initially (temp’ly) placed item 54 (anxiety about control) into our Anxiety factor instead of into our Impaired Control factor.
Why we dropped 54 (anxiety about control) from any factor, either Anx or Imp Ctrl – they write “we dropped 54 b/c had too much cross-laoding across all of the 2 facotrs, ANX & ICC”). ie, kept in hi-level Unplease dim, but excluded from – LOST IN BAD MATH, THEY FORGOT WTF THEY ARE TRYING TO ACOCMPLICSH. IF 11-F SHINY NEW LO-LEV ADDED FACTORS, THAT THEY ADDED TO DITT’S WONDERFUL OAV A DIM, CANNOT FIT 54 “ANX ABOUT CTRL ” INTO ANY OF THEIR FABRICATED, MARKETED, NEW FACTORS, LO-LEV FACOTRS, WHAT IS THE FUCKKING POINT OF 111-FACTORS????? What is the purpose of 11-F questionnaire, i mean the purpose of its shiny new “factors”, if they cannot fit a major psychedelic effect, “anxiety about control”? What in the HELL is Stud team treying to accomp, w/ their shiny marketed lo-lev factors, if those factors FAIL to capture “anxiety about control”??????

What is Studerus Team Trying to Accomplish with their shiny new heavily marketed low-level “factors”, if those factors FAIL to capture “anxiety about control”??

What a COMPLETELY USELESS, POINTLESS SET OF FACTORS!!

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😵💦🔫

The Studerus Low-IQ, C-Team, Retarded scientists assigned by Mktg Dept to fabricate some low-level factors, that exclude, after fumbling around

see their phase 1 outline where they fumbled around, then their next appendix where they fumbled around more moving item 54 here & there, then see final result in outline of only the factors item —

BUT NOT the “dropped” 8 negative items whcih now have gone off the radar b/c only remain within the Unpl Dim but not in any lo-lev “factor’,

so become invisible from marketing pOv that Grifty gets suckered into when he copies only the neg factorss –

instead of copying entire neg Unp Ex hi-level dim – which exactly = the full set of 21 OAV/Angst items — from 11F into “initial item pool” for the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ).

OAV Angst dim exists w 21 items
11F copies all 21 as “Unpl” hi-lev dim, and iniitally puts item 54 (anx about ctrl) in ANX, not in ICC (imparied control). see apx 1 outline.
11F then removes item 54 from ANX, so it’s in Unpl but not in either ANX or ICC factor (8 Neg items become “grayed out” this way, not included in any low-level Factor).
Along comes Grifty, gathering items for CEQ’s initial item pool, but he IGNORES THE NON-marketed hi-lev Unp dim w/ 21 items, (full set), and ONLY copies the low-lev factors items (21-8 = 13 items). we’re down to 13 of 21 Negative Psilocybin effects.
in final item pool, Grifty deletes 10 more of the OAV/Angst items, retaining only 3 of the 21 items that are in OAV’s Angst dim or – identailly – in 11F’s hi-levl Unpl Exp dim. Mission accomp: Grift has deleted 8 and then 10 items, of the full set of Ditt’s 21 Angst items, dleeted 18 of 21 = 84% of Psilocybin challengiing effects, retaining only 14%.
the LOL part: Grifty then writes the Hop marketing spiel on p 1 of the CEQ article, bragging: the reason CEQ exists is, we make a broader, more emcompassing list of negative psychedelic effects, than any other questionnaire;
indeed MORE COMPREHSIVE THAN THE NEG FX OF SOCQ & HRS & OAV questionnaires, COMBINED! LOL!
And no, the deleted 18 of 21 OAV items are NOT covered equivalently by the neg items that were drawn from the other questionnaire lineages, SOCQ or HRS;
predictably, the same type of folly was applied by Grifty team to SOCQ & HRS as well.
Final sordid results: see “Scoring Guide” appendix of the CEQ article. site map section:

Subsets of Negative Psychedelic Effects that Make Up the 11F qair’s Unpleasant Experiences hi-level dimension (which = OAV’s Angst/ Dread/ DED/ Dread of Ego Death

Dittrich’s “DED” actually means “Dread of Ego Dissolution“, not Dread of Ego Death, , but my Marketing dept. told me to accidentally slip.

Plus, psychedelic dread is not of dissolution, it is fear of cybernetic {death} ie loss of control;

dread = the experience of the threat of catastrophic loss of control. you could say, DED = the experience of the threat of disastrous loss of control.

DED = Dread of Ego Disaster

11f; 11f-m; 11f-l – set of 3 verbosities of shortcut expansion

Define a set of 3 keyboard shortcuts, by using pattern:
abbrv (a short expansion, as if abbrv-s but default to omit -s)
abbrv-m (a medium-length expansion)
abbrv-l (a long expansion)

short expansion:
the 11-Factors questionnaire
11f

A good, needed summary of 11-F, showing how it’s a malformed addition to OAV questionnaire:

med expansion:
the 11-Factors questionnaire, which is same positive & negative psychedelics effects items/questions as OAV questionnaire, but with incomplete low-level subset factors added
11fm

long expansion:
the 11-Factors questionnaire from Studerus group, has a high-level dimension that’s identical set of negative psychedelic effects as Dittrich’s OAV questionnaire’s Angst/ Dread of Ego Dissolution dimension, but with two low-level “factors” added — and also, problematically, an unconscious “Shadow Factor 13” factor because the two factors omit 8 effects items
11fl

11F’s “factors” are incomplete subsets, so i had to add their unconscious factors:
Virtual Factor 12 [items omitted from lo-lev factors in OAV’s Oceanic & Visionary dimensions]

Shadow Factor 13 [items omitted from lo-lev factors in OAV’s Angst/ Dread of Ego Dissolution/ DED dimension] –

includes item 54 “anxiety about control” which fit both the Stud malformed ill-designed factors, “ANX” Anxiety & ICC “Impaired Control”

and so their GENIUS solution 🤔💡was to simply “drop” item 54, “anxiety about control” from these badly formed lo-lev “factors” entirely, only retaining such 8 items within the shunned, anti-Marketing, hi-levl Unpl dim.

b/c marketing purpose was:

Our new improved questionnaire, 11F, improves OAV by adding some lo-lev factors to the combination of Ocean+Vision dims, and Angst dim which we rename as the “Unpleasant Experiences” high-level dimension.

the official expansion of ditt’s Angst/ Dread of Ego disosluion /DED acro per the Egodeath theory is “Dread of Ego Death” – a faux expansion, for my Marketing purposes; as we see from Grifty.

Roland Griffiths team at Johns Hopkins Dept. of Psychedelic Pseudo Science

The Grifty Group & the Stud Group Are Marketing-Driven Psychedelic Pseudo Science

Similarly, the Egodeath Theory is driven by Marketing at the Expense of Science, so, I misstate:

OAV’s Angst/ Dread/ DED Dimension (Dread of Ego Death)

not dread “of Ego Dissolution”, per know-nothing, confused Adolph Dittrich listening to Acid Rush album Caress of Steel in 1975 when he formed v1 questionnaire, of his lineage, APZ.

Adolph Dittrich falsely claims that dread is of ego dissolution.

when he formed/ first id’d his in 1985 his 3 dim’s within APZ. these were v1 OAV sets of psychedelics fx items/questions, vs. v2 OAV in 1994.

psychedelics effects items/questions
peiq
when i say “items” i mean this.

The Dittrich lineage of questionnaires:

1975: APZ
1985: OAV dims (v1) of APZ
- There’s also a stupidly named, irrelvant dimension or two — ie categs of a-s fx altered-state fx the altered state ychedelics about drug-specific non-psychedelic effects that is pointless and no one pays any attention to – that’s the other 2 dims of “5D” later.
1994: OAV dims (v2) of APZ
year: 5D-ASC
year: the 11-Factors questionnaire – same items as – same psychedelics effects items/questions as OAV 1994, but combines Ocean+Vision to form “Pleasant Exp” high-level dimension, and mainly exists for Marketing dept to add 11 low-level “factors” but, they are incomplete subsets within Please or Unplea dims, the Pleaseant dim omiting like 16 positive items, and the Unpl dim omitting 8 neg psychedelics effects items/questions. thus i trump them all,
2023: Cybermonk defines hidden in the 11-Factors questionnaire:
Virtual Factor 12 [16 items?]
Shadow Factor 13 [8 items]
SF13 includes – incl “control anxiety” which was dropped from Stud’s ANX factor & CTRL factor & ANX factor

The CTRL Factor – so to speak; actually it is named ICC, for “Impaired Control and Cognition”. God only knows why Stud combined Ctrl & Cog into a single Factor.

I am a dumb person on Stud team: hey i have great idea, lets divide Angst/Dread/ Unpleasent exp into Anxiety & Control.
problem: where do we fit OAV’s item 54, “anxiety about control” then?

item 54, “anxiety about control” goes in both Factors: ANX & ICC.

since item 54 “anxiety about control” fits both in our “Anxiety” Factor and in our “Control” Factor, we need to “drop” item 54, from out incomplete set of low level Factors, bc it (& 7 other psychedelics effects items/questions) fails to fit our model.

we’ll hide item 54, “anxiety about control” in our unconscious SHAD Factor instead

my made-up Factor name acro “SHAD” works better than my joke about ‘S’ factor abbr that’s snake-shaped.

Real Factors from STud group: ANX, ICC. (note the 8 items they dropped from those, in Unpl dim)

Fake factors per the Egodeath theory: fake descriuptions of Stud’s factors: SHAD; for Shadow Factor 13 i id’d as the BLIND SPOT IN psychedelic pseudo science: {shadow dragon monster}.

my pretend factors:

ANX, CTRL, SHAD – all neg items are placed in some lo lev Factor this way.

actual Factors

ANX, ICC – omitting 8 neg psychedelics effects items/questions

https://egodeaththeory.org/?s=Ghostbusters

theat works brilliant for teaching purpose:

The foolish Stud group, forming the 11-Factors questionnaire, said that Unpl exper divides into 2 (unconsciouly 3) Factors:

ANX
CTRL (actually named ICC)
[SHAD] <– unconscious

Given item 54: anxiety about control. Where put? Fits both ANX & CTRL factors. 🤔💡 i has idea: lets drop item 54, b/c it fails to fit only in ANX or only in CTRL. Item 54 is faulty b/c it fails to conform to our “ANX vs. CTRL” dichotomy, so we’ll simply drop it from any category — ie, place item … it in our unconscious SHAD factor, where Grifty group won’t see it when pickking items for initial item pool of teh questionnaire from Hell, the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ).

🤔💡 Item 54, “anxiety about control”, Fails to Fit Only into Our “Anxiety” Factor or “Control” Factor — So, Simply Drop It! 🎉

😱🐉 –>🗑

That is exactly what happened, what was done by the B Team in Studerus group when fabricating the 11-Factors questionnaire.

The Griffiths group then came along, when crafting the the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) as directed by the Grifty Marketing team, ignored the 11-Factors questionnaire’s “Unpleasant Experiences” high-level dimension (which has OAV’s entire set of 21 negative psychedelics effects items/questions), and instead ONLY copied the two, shiny, heavily marketed, low-level factors — ANX & ICC — ~= Anxiety factor & Control factor — from which item 54, “anxiety about control” had to be dropped b/c it spanned both factors.

That’s EXACTLY what happened; that’s how Grifty omitted 8 of 21– MAGICALLY DELETED 8 OF 21 NEGATIVE Psilocybin EFFECTS by accidentally being confused by the Studerus’ 11-Factors questionnaire made by the Studerus Marketing team.

Now just 10 more to go, omitting 10 more of the 21 negative psychedelics effects items/questions, so Grift can end up w/ only 3 of the feeblest negative psychedelics effects.

To achieve goal of selling ordinary state Grief therapy, foisted as “CEQ is the world’s most comprehensive questionnaire of all known negative psychedelics effects” —

A positive-balanced set of all negative psychedelics effects.

Which is to say, the nullification and cancellation of negative Psilocybin effects. PRESTO!

THUS THE MALFORMED 11F BEGAT MALFORMED CEQ, CREATING THE YALDABAOTH 🦁🐍🙈 OF QUESTIONNAIRES

Happy was the day the episode of Egodeath Mystery Show voice recording that defined those LOL factor names:

Virtual Factor 12
Shadow Factor 13

ie imagine:
11f-s –> the 11-Factors questionnaire
11f-m –> the 11-Factors questionnaire blah blah blah
11f-l –> the 11-Factors questionnaire blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

8 items that are too braod to fit ANX or ICC lo-lev factors b/c “too much cross-ladng” loading across these SHITTILY DEFINED low-level factors. These do not reside in any lo-lev factor, so I point out they in effect have unconsciously defined a hidden, 3rd factor, i call “Shadow Factor 13“, abbreviated as S b/c shaped as snake, containing {shadow dragon monster} , fear of loss of control.
7-8 items in ANX Anxiety factor. when you consider that FEAR of loss of CONTROL violates their bad categ schem b/c item 54 Fear of Loss of control fits both their ANX factor and their ICC “Impaired Control and Cognition” facotrs, they faced a question because of theeir stupid factors scopes: 54 fits both in ANX (because fear) and ICC (b/c re control), SO THEY SOLVED THE PAINTED INTO CORNER PLOB PROBLEM THEY CREATED, BY SIMPLY DROPPING ITEM 54 AND 7 OTHERS. which means, keeping those 8 items in the hi-lev Unpl dim, but exclusived excluding them from any low-level , highly Marketed, factor.
6-7 items in ICC factor. “Impaired Control and Cognition” factor. subset of hi lev dim “Unpl Exp”.

Then sucket for sucker for Marketing, Grifty, comes along, ignores 11F’s hii-leve Unplease dim, he only pays attention to shiny Marketing low level added factorrs,

DO VOICE RECORDING OF ALT REALITY, WHERE STUD GROUP DOES NOT JOIN IMPAIRED CONTROL W IMPAIRED COGNITION,

AND DOES NOT INIT PLACE 54 INTO ANX FACTOR, BUT PUTS IT INTO “IMPAIRED CONTROL [IC] FACTOR,

THEN THEY COULDN’T POSSIBLY HAVE “DROPPED” item 54 B/C OF “TOO MUCH COROSS-LOADING across MULTIPLE of our FACTORS”

The wording in Stud article: “dropped due to cross-loading”: ie, these 8 negaive psychedelics effects items were too broadly powerful to fit into our shiny new narrow low-level factors, lo-leve groups within “Unpleasant Experiences”, ANX or ICC.

Subtle you must und: to “drop” the 8 items/effects, means, have them in the negative high level category [same identical set of 21 items in OAV’s Angst/Dread dim & 11-F’s hi-level dim “Unpleaseant Experiences”.

“which one exists: external material world, or mind only??”

That debate is as DUMB as the low-IQ debate “Does God exist or not” — while it never even occurs to them to define; while NEVER defining their term ‘God’.

That doesn’t occur to them that we can define ‘God’ in different ways; instead, they take – thoughtlessly – for granted the most rank, crude, unreflective notion of ‘God’, taken silently for granted, and proceed to build their stupid debate on that irrelvant foundation basis. premise.

Houot does that kind of unthinking move, re: his assertion:
“myth = stupidity = woo; reject it.”

Presentism IS relevant for “metaperception” in the Psilocybin state. Thus: THE PROPER USE OF PHIL DEPT CONCEPT OF “PRESENTISM” IS NOT FOR CONTRASTING TWO MODELS OF TIME, BUT FOR METAPERCEP IN THE ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

4-Hour Productive Voice Recording Sat. Mar 15, 2025

I found errors in Jerry Brown Psychedelic Gospels 2016. Do not lump together scholars , or you lack precision.

Brown says Clark Heinrich asserts ahistoricity Jesus- False.

Hein never heard of tgat, Str Fruit says Allegro said Jesus was leader of mushroom cult.

Brown is smearing competitors, fakely exaggerating his distance to make them look bad, But Brown’s view is close to theirs.

Posturing, Brown misrepresents competitors to make them look bad and fabricate pretended distance between him & them.

Breakthrough: Wasson’s Private View vs. Wasson’s Public View (They Differ; He Is a Liar)

Mar 15: Ruck half truth – Hoffman Uncertainty Principle regarding deniers of mushrooms in art:

We cannot know what a mushroom denier’s private view is, we only know what their stated public view is. Exception: If you are pals like Ruck, you can tell that Wasson believed mushroom art.

As a peer reviewer for Wink the Journal of Psychedelic Studies article about Wasson i was wrong to say Wasson dod NOT believe mushroom art– [shorthand here]– the mediocre writer was correct saying

Wasson must have believed mushroom art.

Correct, we are safe to assume Wasson believed mushroom imagery in Christian art PRIVATELY while Wasson PUBLICLY LIED and pretended reject mushroom imagery in Christian art

I should have told the draft journal article author:

You must contrast Wasson’s PRIVATE belief vs his PUBLIC LIE about his view.

Conflict of interest: Wasson was the banker forcthe Vatican.

Ramsbottom 1953 leaked Wasson’s private affirmative view, by printing Wasson’s Dec 1953 letter in 2nd printing of book Mushrooms & Toadstools.

Wasson didn’t figure that out he was caught lying about his view, until 1970+ when Allegro busted him in endnote quoting Wasson 1953 Dec to Ram: “Rightly of wrongly, we are going to publicly pretend to not believe mushroom-trees mean mushroom.”

Brown says Irvin asserts ahistoricity. False i think, in AstroSham – i think irvin is agnosrltic and flexible about ahistoricity.

I explained to friend after recording, in just 3-4 minutes, why Hanegraaff botches astral ascent mysticism and cannot place fixed stars in their usual sphere level 8: because the initiate asks teacher to take them to sphere 8 & 9.

In fact initiate asks teacher to take them to Fate sphere (8, Ogdoad), which is the highest level of the Fate-ruled cosmos, 100% Fate; and AFTER that, after going THROUGH Fate, then reach level 9, freewill, a little bit, with your head / soirit poking outside of the Fate-cosmos,

I wish I recorded teaching all the basic points in just 3 min. I used extremely common words, no tech jargon.

I need to write and record like beginner/ outsider utoob videos.

i didnt even mention Saturn, maybe. Only talk about where to put the stars, in sphere 8, which is Fate, NOT freewill.

I first prepped friend by explaining who Hanegraaff is: in 1995 when I asked bookseller what book studies the esoteric roots of Newage, he said I should write it.

1995, Hanegraaff was writing his book Newage Mirror of W Thot.

As if Hanegraaff wrote the book for me, to order.

Thx for writing the book I asked for in 1995, Hanegraaff.

Hanegraaff thinks wrongly sphere 8 ogdoad is above fate , and he thinks one would want to avoid fate, not reach fate..

He thinks Ogdoad is fe freewill . but it is actually Fate, . his root problem preventing placing fixed stars. in sphere 8 ogdoad. Chaos results in his broken sytem. but i got big confirm my astral ascent mysticism model in 2014 from 2013 book N D L Cosmology & Fate, then yesterday Justin Slegdge Chris B

Ogdoad is fate and that is where the fixed stars (which Hanegraaff knows are Fate)

Pagels’ First 3 Books Compatible with the Egodeath Theory

Elaine Pagels’ first 3 books resonate with the Egodeath theory. She divides traits into two contrasting sets of views, like in the book The Jesus Mysteries by Freke & Gandy:

“Orthodox” (exoteric): literalist ordinary-state possibilism with monolithic, autonomous control.
“Gnostic” (esoteric): analogical psychedelic eternalism with 2-level, dependent control.

Beginner Perennialism & Esotericism: 10% Beginner Unity Glimpse + 1% Advanced Unity + 0% Control Transformation Though That’s 95% Bulk of Transformation

Reality:

initial glimpse of unity – 1% of the journey
series of freakout Psilocybin transformation sessions – 98% of the journey
final state of unity – 1% of the journey

How beginners mis-describe and mis-understand esotericism / perennialism:

unity = 100% of the transformation journey

Beginners are the ppl who say heavy breathing can produce Psilocybin effects.

There is only a little overlap between Pop esotericism / perennialism and the Egodeath theory.

Set of 3 Incoherent Assertions Made About Treatise on the 8th & 9th: Which Sphere # Contains the Fixed Stars (which are Fate), If Rising Above Sphere 7 Saturn = Rising Above Fate?

is this in Fail Quotes page? https://egodeaththeory.org/2020/12/04/scholarly-fail-quotes-hall-of-shame/ – no.
This page has the quote: https://egodeaththeory.org/2022/08/03/the-hanegraaff-leap-over-no-free-will-eternalism-the-fixed-stars/ and several other my pages from search below might have it.

Whether the fixed stars should be included [with Saturn (sphere 7)] or should rather be associated with the Ogdoad [(sphere 8)] remains an open question for me.
Wouter Hanegraaff, footnote 114, p. 294, Hermetic Spirituality and the Historical Imagination: Altered States of Knowledge in Late Antiquity, 2022

How in the hell can this be an “open question”?!

Ans: BECAUSE HE CONSIDERS OGDOAD GOOD IE ABOVE FATE, AND STARS BAD IE = FATE — SO HE IS STUCK. HE CANT PUT EM IN 7, HE CANT PUT EM IN 8 — so THROW UP ARMS, AVOID TALKING ABOUT THIS, <SHRUG>.

Can you not read the plain diagrams?

This is the most elementary given in the world!

Wouter Hanegraaff & Followers: “Whether the number 8 should be included with the number 7 or should instead be placed after 7 remains an open question for me.”

“Whether the number 8 should be included with the number 7 or should instead be placed after 7 remains an open question for me.” HOW SO? WTFF!!!

Whether the fixed stars should be included with Saturn or should rather be associated with the Ogdoad remains an open question for me.

The 7 planets = Fate.
The fixed stars aka constellations aka zodiac = Fate.
When you rise about the 7 planet spheres, you rise above Fate.

They equate Ogdoad and Ennead.

They say:

Fate is bad.
Rising above Fate is good.
Ogdoad is good; it is above Fate.

They say:

Fixed stars = Fate = bad.
Ogdoad = above 7 planet spheres = Good.
THEN WHERE DO THE FRIKKIN FIXED STARS GO IF NOT THE OGDOAD?

What kind of low-credibility hack uses WordPress?
I miss my underlying url https://EgodeathTheory.WordPress.com

I am going to email Wouter Hanegraaff & Paul Davidson and point out INCOHERENT SELF-CONTRADICTION:

If you rise above Fate as soon as you rise above Planet 7 Saturn & reach sphere 8 = Ogdoad, and the fixed stars = Fate, then what level # contains fixed stars, which are Fate?

It can’t be sphere 7, b/c moving planet level 7 is Saturn, which is Fate.

It can’t be sphere 8, b/c that (the Ogdoad) is above Fate according to you, but the fixed stars = Fate, according to you.

What have you done w fixed stars (Fate)? What sphere # do you put the fixed stars in?

The correct answer every schoolchild before 1600 knows: fixed stars are level 8, Fate, Ogdoad.

What is the lowest sphere that’s above Fate? You say 8, incoherently. Ans is 9, Ennead.

You say Ogdoad and Ennead are both above Fate, no real difference between them. YOU ARE CONFUSED and unablle to count to 8.

Ogdoad = Fate = 8th sphere = — the THE PICTURES IN YOUR OWN VIDEO PLAINLY SHOW THIS!! CAN YOU NOT COUNT TO 8?!! IE T

ie sphere 8 (Ogdoad) contains zodiac = fixed stars = constellations = Fate.

This is ULTRA elementary, so much, your diagrams plainly show this.

dummy: point in your diagram, point to zodiac sphere, tell me what # is that? Obv 8. WTF do you think the word “Ogdoad” means? 8th sphere. How in the hell do you keep saying “rise above Saturn sphere 7 to rise higher than fate”? but where are the fixed stars? Higher than Saturn! How are you so plainly inconsistent? WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU THAT YOU NEVER JOIN THE TWO FACTS:

FIXED STARS = FATE
FIXED STARS = SPHERE 8
THEREFORE SPHERE 8 = FATE. <– YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SAYING THIS. YOUR SYSTEM IS BROKEN!

You are trying to “protect” level 8 Ogdoad from being Fate. In fact rising above Saturn (fate) puts you in Fate (fixed stars).

Reaching sphere 8 does NOT put you above Fate which you keep falsely, incoherently saying. ONLY sphere 9 (or higher) is above Fate. Level 8 is NOT above FAte.

quote Wouter Hanegraaff footnote “i cant figure out if fixed stars go in Saturn sphere or Ogdoad sphere”.

Are you incapable of looking at your own diagram and counting to 8 where zodiac are?

Wiki block-universe determinism articles.
Josie Kins Effect Index article: Perception of Eternalism.
A big jump lately, solved a major framing/marketing problem: Stop framing the resulting product as “eternalism”, nor frame it as freewill possibilism; frame the product you get from the Egodeath theory as 2-Level Compatibilism, or Split-Level Compatibilism

You end up not fighting between free will vs. determinism – irrelevant and poorly formed – but rather, end up with two ways of thinking: practical way of thinking (possibilism-thinking) & the factual way of thinking (eternalism-thinking). There is no functional conflict.

Eternalism is the case (eg hidden uncontrollable source of control thoughts), and possibilism is the way the mind experiences and the personal control system is shaped.

You hafta believe in eternalism! = no-free-will puppet slave embedded prison.

The Egodeath theory reveals that you are no-free-will puppet slave embedded prison, on the underlying level, and at the practical, experienced level, you always use possibilism-thinking, now washed clean, and now able to endure the Psilocybin state; loose cognition.

The Pre/Trans Fallacy: After Learning the Egodeath Theory, Nothing Changes

Except Gained Beard, & Crowned by God, & Sacrificed Child-Thinking, & Gained Ability to Endure Eat from Tree of Life & Pass Through the Gate Guarded by {flame} and {blade} to Get the Golden Apple Treasure of Transcendent Knowledge

You can go ahead a believe in egoic freewill branching steering! <– the Pre/Trans fallacy. You are just like an enlightened person, by using efw egoic freewill thinking! DO NOTHING – SAME AS ENLIGHTENMENT. ie, the Egodeath theory gives you nothing, no change.

Justin Sledge ESOTERICA YouTube channel argues: enlightenment is not worth the bother.

Before the Egodeath theory, chop wood carry water.
After the Egodeath theory, chop wood carry water.
Therefore the Egodeath theory is nothing; learning the Egodeath theory is same as not learning the Egodeath theory. You gain nothing. You change nothing.

Actually:

Psychedelic Transformation Adds Eternalism-Compatibility to Possibilism-Thinking: Able to Stably Cope in the Altered State

Psychedelic Transformation Gives You Compatible Possibilism-Thinking & Eternalism-Thinking

Characterizing What You Gain from Enlightenment as “Compatibilism of vs. “Eternalism” vs. “Qualified Possibilism”

More accurate than “gives you compatible free will & determinism”.

psychedelic transformation
p-t

Psychedelic Transformation Gives You Compatible Free Will & Determinism

The solution to free will vs. determinism is to shift the options, and instead deliver split-level compatibilism between possibilism-thinking & eternalism-thinking.

When shifting from “freewill” and “determinism” to instead, “possibilism-thinking” and “eternalism-thinking”, notice the shift of attention away from “matter vs. mind”, or “materialism vs. mysticism”, and instead, express in terms of Cognitive Phenomy: thinking, & mental models.

The Losing Framing: A zero-sum fight between which is true: freewill, or causal-chain determinism

I hate irrelevant, causal-chain determinism! And freewill isn’t the case at the underlying level! A Lose/Lose Debate of Folly, Buffet of Folly

We have two mental models. There is no conflict there, when worded in terms of mental models, rather than zero-sum fight between which is true: freewill, or causal-chain determinism

cognitive phenomenology
cp

DGAF what is the case in the ontological external world; irrelevant.

Neurosci is a losing concern.

Ontology is a losing concern.

Philosophy ruts bring nothing of value, just confusion and irrelevancy.

Neurofoo is entirely irrelevant.

Cognitive Neurobaloney is a ruse, to eliminate the cognitive by giving barest lip service.

Neuroscience Is the Enemy of the Cognitive Phenomenology-Based Explanatory Framework Realm

Cog Pheny is the winning realm of expression.

Gain Split-Level Compatibilism (Better Characterization of the Outcome than “Gain Eternalism” or “Gain Qualified Possibilism-Thinking Including Eternalism-Thinking”

the word ‘compatibilism’ is bad b/c implies combine domino-chain causality determinism, and freewill is real. It is more like compatibilism between possibilism-thinking & eternalism-thinking.
