Ruck Committee’s Chicken Footnote about Allegro 🐓🙀😨
In Carl Ruck’s book Apples of Apollo, footnote 1 complains that they have to cite Allegro’s Sacred Mushroom & the Cross book in the footnote instead of the bibliography, because if they were to put Allegro’ book in the bibliography, it would be the first book listed, and that’s not acceptable.
No surprise, this footnote has to do with entheogens – which is clown world land – 1st-generation entheogen scholarship (the Secret Amanita paradigm) worst of all.
Meanwhile, I’ve seen various assorted different kinds of authors routinely listing Allegro’s book in their bibliography.
I bet Jan Irvin had a thing or two to say about that ridiculous, puerile, childish reasoning about omitting Allegro from the bibliography.
Of course the book about mysticism by the professor of religion can compete against Ruck’s footnote for stupidity:
At page 1 bottom of the page, that utterly mainstream book about mysticism says in the footnote that “Of course, college students don’t have any way of accessing the mystic state.” Living under a rock! 😵 I tried hard to re-find the book.
Of course, college students don’t have any way of accessing the mystical state of consciousness. 🤷♂️

Eadwine Is Depicting Fate
[7:38 pm March 21, 2025] – I just realized wheel uploaded maybe by John Lash = DIRECT DEPICTION OF FATE by Eadwine in Great Canterbury Psalter.
Recognized because of looking at cover of Brennan after his good discussion with ESOTERICA Justin Sledge YouTube conversation.

THE FATE RULES THE WORLD
ALL THINGS ARE CERTAINLY LAWFUL
FATA Translation from Cyberdisciple
Cyberdisciple wrote: [March 22, 2025]
Brennan’s book cover shows a line of poetry from Manilius, 1st cent AD, author of Astronomica:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomica_(Manilius)
FATA REGUNT ORBEM, CERTA STANT OMNIA LEGE
THE FATES DIRECT THE WORLD, ALL THINGS DEPEND ON A FIXED LAW
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.

“Hellenistic astrology is a tradition of horoscopic astrology that was practiced in the Mediterranean region from approximately the first century BCE until the seventh century CE.
“It is the source of many of the modern traditions of astrology that still flourish around the world today, although it is only recently that many of the surviving texts of this tradition have become available again for astrologers to study.
Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune is the first comprehensive survey of this tradition in modern times.
“The book covers the history, philosophy, and techniques of ancient astrology, with a special focus on demonstrating how many of the fundamental concepts underlying the practice of western astrology originated during the Hellenistic period.”

Dean of Harvard in video interview in psychedelics series, Chs Stang also says the Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ) FAILS to match mystics reports.
My Dec 3 2013 branching breakthrough lecture announcement:
Great Canterbury Psalter:
Great Canterbury Psalter f134 row 2 middle, boring mundane grain dispensary bin:
Dittrich article about OAV v1 questionnaire items, 1993:
Studerus 11-Factors Questionnaire Article: “Non-Pleasant Therefore Non-Mystical”
The absolutely bunk model of mystical experience that is foisted as the science basis of psychedelic pseudo science. thats ok, Grift tells Stung in Harvard vid:
Our Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) catches the mystic failures of our “POSITIVE-BALANCED” Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ) [which Tim Leary 🌾😵💫 created while dressed up as Walter Pahnke in 1963]
The endnote [20] hides Walter Stace 1960 based on Wm James 1902, as “science”:
11-Factors Studerus article is poor at presenting their purpose , strategy, justification.
Stud’s article about 11F is drawn from INEPTLY by R Grift team for their 1st phase Pool gathering “all” (sic) negative fx from the 3 leading questionnaires:
SOCQ (the Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ)) &
HRS – Strassman, NN DMT &
Adolph Dittrich’s APZ-derived “5DASC” albeit only via 11Factors, which is not 5D-asc but is OAV 1994, ignoring the dumb 2 dims. CEQ only draws from A of OAV but screws that up, missing 8 of 21 neg fx
OAV’s Angst/ DED Dimension: “Dread of Ego Death” Psychedelics Effects Questions
… thus missing the 8 Shadow Factor 13 items, conveniently for the Grifty team – they subsequently deleted 10 more of the 21 Dread items, leaving only the 3 weakest effects. Mission achieved.
The Grifty team when constructing the CEQ should have ignored the confusing middleman Stud 11Factors and drawn directly from the entire Angst/Dread of Ego Death [“of Ego Dissolution”) DED dimension of OAV 1994.
Stud sold 11F questionnaire as new shiny tech but pointless and BACKFIRED: there was NO reason Grift had, but POSTURING salesmanship, to use the “new improved” 11F instead of using the REAL DEAL OAV A dimension directly.
This stupid move resulted in the omission of the 8 of 21 most broadly potent negative fx, which wouldn’t have been omitted from the CEQ’s initial items pool, had Grift drawn directly from the excellent OAV’s Angst Dread of Ego Death dimension.
Using the intermediary 11F for no reason other than “because it’s an improvement on OAV” (pure marketing posturing w no actual benefit) per the bogus reasoning on p 1-3 of Stud 11 Factors article =
How to get from a GREAT questionnaire jnstrument (Dittrich 1975 APZ begat … v2: OAV 1994, which has a SOLID Dread dimension 👍😱🐉) to end up w SHIITE quality Grifty Hop questionnaire the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ)
Beware, the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) is not a serious, real questionnaire.
I said in my page “References for Psychedelics questionnaires”, that I hesitate to list CEQ, as if it is a real questionnaire thats meant to be used; it is not.
The Purpose of CEQ is only for Grift to wave at Stung when challenged in video interview at Harvard: “meq fails to match mystics writings”. its ok we catch fails of positive-balanced meq via our CEQ – sign up for our non-psychedelic psychedelic, neutered, denatured, ordinary-state Grief therapy today, with 8 side-helpings of Buddha statue Newage cult propaganda, — unless Matt Johnson & the Buddha statue have run off together back in the hall closet again.
OAV is the official questionnaire approved by the Egodeath theory.
The Egodeath theory rejects SOCQ/MEQ, like Michael Pollan does, in How to Chg Your Mind, (index entry: the Mystical Experience Questionnaire) MEQ.
After toad venom dmt, then filling in the MEQ questions, Pollan had to write “N/A” because yes he TOTALLY experienced block-universe eternalism — but he HATED it, it was terrrifying; but the Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ) mis-frames block-universe eternalism experience as unicorns farting rainbows, which was not Pollan’s terror experience.
Pollan could not give any answer that the MEQ author (Leary hiding behind Pahnke, Wm Roberts, then Roll-on Griftin) conceived; a misrep/ mismatch.
That is the trash-quality basis of science foundation of psychedelic pseudo science.
Total failure.
The same POSITIVE-BALANCED error pollutes the Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ) and its broken wastebasket (CEQ) to catch the failures. apx of 11Factors’ diagrams tracking their shell game of hiding “item 54 fear loss of control”, because that psychedelics effect is too broad to fit their shiny marketing factors: ANX anxiety & ICC impaired ctrl & cognition.
The CEQ is the broken wastebasket to catch the failures of the MEQ.
11Factors’ weird compound factor ICC “impaired control and cognition”?
why combine those distinct fx? CRICKETS.
never any answer from Stud committee.
State in plain English what you are are trying to accomplish, Stud 11Factors committee.
Why does OAV’s Angst/ Dread dimension need two subfactors but omit from any low/level factors, 8 of the 21 effects from tgem, producing my SHADOW FACTOR 13: incl Dread “item 54: I was afraid to lose my self-control”.
What kind of items are in Shadow Factor 13 that i id’d as implicitly crafted by the Stud committee?
In 2025 I grasped the answer via the notable reasoning in Stud article:
“we dropped items 16, 28, 54, 65, & 72-1/2 from ANX factor, because too much cross-loading or another reason, math jargon; ie because THEY ARE TOO BROADLY POWERFUL TO FIT IN EITHER the ANX OR the ICC NARROW FACTORS,
so we keep these broad neg fx only in the hi lev dim “Unplsant Experiences”, not in our explicit subdfctors of that hi-level dimension.
ie:
WE PUT item 54 and the other 8 MOST BROADLY POWERFUL NEGATIVE psychedelicS FX IN SHADOW FACTOR 13 of our 11-Factors instrument/ questionnaire — where the Grift Hop team can ignore them when gathering the initial item pool to construct the failed questionnaire from Hell, the CEQ, with our Grift team’s signature, characteristic, giant gaping hole blind spot {shadow dragon monster} – the experience of the threat of catastrophic loss of control.
— which is either the exact opposite of mystical experience, per p 1 of Stud’s 11Factors article; — …
— or, is THE KEY, VERY ESSENCE of mystical experience, the key gateway to driving mental model transformation.
{shadow dragon monster}, Shadow Factor 13, Is Actually the Very Essence of Mystical Experience – Oops, Total Fail
Stace 1960 is 180 degrees backwards, re the huge fallacy, “non-pleasant = non-mystical”, that corrupts everything the pollyanna Grift Hop team touches.
🦄💨🌈
😱🐉🍽️🚪🏆
Since OAV’s Dread dimension’s “item 54: Fear of Loss of control” fits both the 11-Factors ANX narrow factor & the ICC narrow factor, but item 54 only fits in the overarching, non-marketed, hi-lev dimension (Unpleasant Experiences) that Stud is not trying to market & so only mentikns 1 time in 11F article, the Grifty team misused Stud’s 11F questionnaire, by ONLY drawing from the subset of terror psychedelics fx: only ANX & ICC, ignoring the 8 broadest Dread fx from the Dread dimension of OAV v2 1994:
APZ qair by Dittrich 1975 year of LSD album Caress of Steel by Rush begat solid OAV questionnaire incl A Angst/Dread Dimension including dread item 54 i was afraid to lose my self ctrl:
O: Ocean ; Oceanic psychedelics fx
1. I had the feeling everything around me was somehow unreal.
7. I felt as though I were floating.
13.The boundary between myself and my surroundings seemed to blur
16.I felt totally free and released from all responsibilities
31I had the feeling that I had been transferred to another world
34.it seemed to me that there were no more conflict and contradictions in the world
68.it seemed to me as though I did not have a body any more.
84.I felt very happy and content for no outward reason
92.I could have sat for hours looking at something
95.I was completely indifferent toward everything
127.I experienced past present and future as a oneness
129.it seemed to me that my environment and I were one.
147.It seemed to me that I was dreaming.
A: Angst Dread dimension: DED , Dread of Ego Dissolution (loss of control more like) — ie Q 54 of oav 1994 i was afraid to lose ctrl — isnt 54 shown by previous-me below??
i think i am showing blind spot of Studerus 11-Factors qaire missing 8 Dread psychedelics fx because 54 was too broad and powerful to fit into a narrow factor: their malformed ANX & ICC narrow factors.
WHAT DOES STUDERUS IMAGINE HIMSELF TO BE DOING BY DELIVERING these NARROW MARKETED SHINY FACTORS?
Grifty ignores the intent & strategy of why 11F questionnaire exists, and abuses 11F opportunistically to omit 8 of the 21 Dread psychedelics fx…
by pass 2 when creating bunk Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ), when the dust settles, ONLY 3 of Dittrichs OAV 1994 Angst/Dread 21 effects remain!! DISASTER! 18/21 = 84% of well formed Dread effects are SIMPLY OMITTED, w no explanation whatsoever – replaced by fake inflated Grief factor instead. because grief sounds as if osc – not psychedelics-specific chall fx.
Neutered denatured the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) results;
what the heck is the purpose of these stupid instruments (qairs) , if they ignore 18 of 21 fx?
This Is Fine 😊
you retort that’s ok the other two leading questionnaires that Grift drew from cover dread effects, right? right?
No;
THE SAME BIASED BLIND SPOT CORRUPTS EVERYTHING THAT ROLAND GRIFT TOUCHES:
When whittling down the Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ) from 163? to 43 to 30 fx q’s;
When drawing from SoCQ;
” HRS hallucinogen rating scale Strass n n dmt 1990s;
pool 1 of chall fx for the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ);
ceq’s final pool of chall fx ” –
see ceq’s “Scoring guide” apx for the Yaldabaoth 🦁🐍🙈 MONSTROUSLY MALFORMED awful final questionnaire fx list has only 3 of the 21 Dread fx – and omits the good bad fx from SOCQ (the Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ) and from HRS — the same type of willy-nilly deletions of the best neg psychedelics fx.
Everything Grift touches becomes “POSITIVE BALANCED” — even the negative questionnaire he fabricated, the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ)!
The Positive-Balanced Negative Effects Questionnaire = 0 Psychedelic Effects, Only a Fake Ordinary-State Grief Factor Remains – SMOKING RUIN
Matthew Johnson filed ethics violations complaints against the Grifty Hopkins team for corrupting Science with the worst thing, mysticism newage. and the Hop Grift team is terrible for pushing psychedelics as cult religion corrupting Christianity says Travis Kitchens new articles.
my pages:
References for psychedelics questionnaires
Site Map
ceq is left w nothing but a gigantic Grief factor sculpted by the anti psychedelic Hop Mktg Dept 🤑💰 because Grief sounds as if ordinary state:
profit by deleting psychedelics-specific fx from psychedelics , NEUTERING psychedelics — wgat the hell are these questionnaires trying to accomplish?
OAV tries to represent full span fx — as the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) ARTICLE article p 1 falsely, braggingly CLAIMS to be EVEN BROADER thab tgan than HRS & SOCQ/ m e q & 5D-ASC/ OAV Dread dim, COMBINED!
Now in 2025 i know that a year ago Matthew “Lose the Buddha Statue and im not joking” Johnson, of the self-exploded former 💥 Hopkins group, filed ethics violations complaints against the Grift Hop team.
Now I understand how Matt Johnson values my expose of the garbage derivation of MEQ & 11-Factors & CEQ.
Science? 404
psychedelic pseudo science
. . .
Then Griftiths misread 11-factors ignoring the non-factor, “too broad” psychedelics dread fx eg 54.
DISASTER RESULTED, called the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) , because Hopkins MISUSED the 11-Factors questionnaire when formulating their garbage CEQ-POS pseudo-questionnaire:
Grift Hop failed to attend to the HI LEV dim of 11F, “Unpleasant Experiencing”.
