Motivation for this Page
Rough mobile draft, because need to create several pages. but hard to manage todos. gotta get them started. Started cleaning up on desktop.

Yesterday March 25, 2025, I realized that this mushroom-tree has YI branching form discovered yesterday. I got this picture a long time ago like maybe 2003.
I contributed this instance of mushroom imagery in Christian art to the Brown virtual db of all mushroom imagery in Christian art (whatever’s meant by “catalog” given that Browns proposal was no-go, no one has time). Brown should’ve proposed a database, not a committee.
My book review of Hermetic Spirituality and the Historical Imagination: Altered States of Knowledge in Late Antiquity, by Wouter Hanegraaff, 2022:

How Much Does the Egodeath Theory Utilize the Concept of {death}?
Find ‘death’ in my two main theory-spec articles:
Self-control Cybernetics, Dissociative Cognition, & Mystic Ego Death (1997 core theory spec) (Hoffman, 1997) https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/30/self-control-cybernetics-dissociative-cognition-mystic-ego-death/

Death Quotes:
- Seeing the illusory aspects of this mental representation and feeling the absence of the accustomed sense of personal solidity can be experienced as death, as literal cessation of personal existence, because the naive mind strongly identifies with the projected image and the sense.
- Conceiving of the world as a fixed spacetime block leads to the astonishing potential of experiencing ego death, because the logic of ego’s control power is coherently disrupted.
- There are multiple [INSUFFICIENT] triggers for the dissociative cognitive state, including psychedelics,
meditation, schizophrenia, sensory deprivation, hyperventilation, temporal-lobe epilepsy, UFO abduction, and near-death experiences. - Acid-rock mysticism vividly alludes to and resonates with ego death and the dissociative cognition that leads up to it.
- The peak experience of ego death can be rationally explained, whether or not its logic, perceptions, and hypotheses are valid.

Outline All Headings of Houot Book Rise of the Psychonaut
big todos: voice input all headings of Rise of the Psychonaut.
Needed for a book study page,
in my book review i will mention i have posted an outline of headings. voice efficient to enter headings
sections: which are the most relevant for the Egodeath theory? fav sections of book?
for my church book club intelligent discussion
copy here my Mission: to equip Loose Cognitive Science to endure Psilocybin and pass thru the gate to explore loose cognition realm wv w basic dynamics of control votrtex climax already on doily on silver platter for them:
Neo inserts chip in brain: the Egodeath theory, incl religious mythic motif analogies {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs –
instantly neo is able to explore loose cognition scientifically, already having the basic knowledge, CYBERNETIC WISDOM, the cybernetic communication transmission THE MESSAGE OF THE mushroom-trees ARTISTS, the dynamics of SURRENDER.
Know already the cheap trick of stand on right foot

Read Aloud The Psychonauts Ship: What Are Cyb Dyns of “Surrender” in Janikian’s Folk Tech Book? Shamans Have Full Control — O RLY IZZAT SO??
Stupid mystics couldn’t figure out personal control system on Psilocybin
but somehow shamans achieved FULL ACIVE CONTROL.😑
it be ultra fast to copy his article into a page where i can get hands on it to analyze and critique how Houot is foolish. In what way Houot wise recomm?
Shamans are rational scientists who achieved what muddle headed mystics failed to try to achieve. Show the way wise Houot.
Houot ‘s major interest is surrenderism – why only barely mentioned in book Rise of the Psychonaut??
I STEM-explain “surr” – Houot ‘s fav topic ; he says shamans have full active control and he says they have ACTIVE CONTROL but mystics suck because they do passive surrenderism.
other big anticipated todo: read aloud voice recording Houot article The Psychonaut’s Ship which i already read on paper but merely 1 time every line.
What Did I Discover? For Houot Context
for reviewing Rise of the Psychonaut , the Egodeath theory is an example of a discovery.
Frame the Egodeath theory within Houot’s context as an illustrative example
religious myth depicts by analogy transformation from possibilism to eternalism and Psilocybin transformation of personal control system
same w mushroom-trees genre motifs {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs
Classical Antiquity aims at heimarmene, via Psilocybin transformation
Late Antiquity aims a little above Fate.
loose cognition block-universe eternalism personal control system transformation, NOT Ken Wilber’s beginners’ unity, is what ego transcendence is REALLY about per jan 1988 when put the pieces together – Ramesh Balsekar and Watts were closer than Wilber to figuring out core wisdom.
Wisdom core knowledge was botched by
common-core mysticism and perennialism attempt w sht-tonne of BAGGAGE noise obscuring wisdom more than revealing and usefully conveying and delivering wisdom.
you agree w common-core mysticism and perennialism? ok , therefore you agree w my every whim, a slave of the Egodeath theory & iceberg of hidden agendas like The Banker for the Pope, Gordon . . . .🔍🧐🤔 Wasson INFINITE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, the Pope Wasson says – on roller derby team The Salvation Salesmen-
are you going to believe the meditation hucksters — Zen master Brad? meditation is way more potent than 12g dried cubensis trust me
are you going to believe the salvation salesmen , lying Fraud pope Gordon . . . .🔍🧐🤔 Wasson the lying Pinocchio liar?
Salvation Salesman Gordon . . . .🔍🧐🤔 Wasson Shows Us That Christianity equals deceiving and lying to people and censorship
so commendable, we must defend, like the Art Historian Ronald Huggins’ Foraging Wrong article ,
We must go to bat to defend and run cover for Gordon . . . .🔍🧐🤔 Wasson and applaud and support his deceiving, lying, Fraud scholarship obstruction and excuse him.
This is the kind of people that deny mushroom imagery in Christian art.
pope Gordon says that if you assert mushroom imagery in Christian art, then you are a blundering ignoramus.
What a wonderful Christian, Wasson the deceiver.
what does Logos Media jan irvin have to say about these Christian values of Truth from Gordon . . . .🔍🧐🤔 Wasson ??
Evil Archons of this passing Age
when he tells you that Christianity means lying to people, it is quite clear from Gordon Lawson that Christianity means deceiving and lying to people.
Thanks a hell of a lot , oh wise “father of Ethnomycology”. INFINITE CONFLICT OF INTEREST –
Pope Wasson 🤥 has achieved levels of conflict of interest not even thought possible.
Dionysus and the Pirates
In my emails exchg w Houot, i claimed the best writing on nautical analogy myth of Dionysus & pirates is my site but that writing is hidden in idea development page 23:
https://egodeaththeory.org/2025/01/07/idea-development-23/#Pilot-Helmsman-Steersman-Begged-Dionysus – Find 32 hits on ‘dionysus’
For Houot’s benefit – (Cyberdisciple scoffs at BENEFIT) — i am considering making a page dedicated to honoring — –, Dionysus. As a pilot of Egodeath, honoring Dionysus. To honor the god is to not claim to be foundation source of one’s own control power; ivy disproves that; ssw sna {snake frozen in rock} ;
snake-shaped worldline frozen in rock
sswfr
sswfir
snake-shaped worldline
ssw
I advised A. M. Houot (WHOAH!; “Ooh-Oh”) to study several writeups of this myth cybernetic nautical – tho not a myth of scientific exploration & disco?
Secret Names of Scholars: Policy: Every Writer Gets Only Two Names: First & Last
SECRET – DO NOT TELL ANYONE: it’s Alan Houot
Alan Houot
amh
A. M. Houot
Egodeath Policy: everyone gets 2 names: first, last. That’s it. eg:
Dr. Professor Jose Bob Alfredo Gonzalez Celdran the Great –> Jose Celdran
Esteemed, Learned, Learned! Dr. Professor Jerry M. Brown the Third –>
Jerry Brown
I hate the early 2oth C convention – unhelpful – that I stupidly parrotted in the 2006 & 2007 articles:
Wasson and Allegro on the Tree of Knowledge as Amanita (Hoffman, 2006), http://egodeath.com/WassonEdenTree.htm
& mh07 main article, “J. I. Smith” – stupid, give us the damn first name ffs.
How does it help anyone to write J Z Smith instead of Johnathan Smith?
Errata in URL of WordPress copy of 2007 Main Article
“2006” should be “2007”; recently I determined that body of article was written 2006 but DIDN’T REACH ITS FINAL FORM until Sep. 2007:
The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death (Hoffman, 2007) – https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/the-entheogen-theory-of-religion-and-ego-death-2006-main-article/ – failed to copy the Intro from home page into article until Sep 2007.
The day after that, I found (like Josie Kins did recently, in article “Perception of Eternalism” in EffectIndex.com) the correct word, ‘eternalism’ instead of the wrong word, ‘determinism’ – fail.

Granting Advanced Degrees in Transcendent Knowledge per the Egodeath theory per Cybermonk
— except for Max Freakout & Cyberdisciple & the other, skizzo guy who re-pointed me to Jan Irvin’s great work, who have the ultra rare honorary(?) (sounds like an insult; they earned PhD fair & square) degree, PhD in Transcendent Knowledge: they are strictly to be addressed as:
Esteemed Dr. Freakout, PhD TK
I cannot grant more PhDs, b/c:
- no time to vet ppl
- no one is worthy earned it as Cyberdisciple & Sir Freakout , but even if they did, no time to vet ppl.
idea: I am ok w idea of granting more PhD degrees in Transcendent Knowledge per the Egodeath theory.
In principle, every high school student takes 1 semester class to learn the Egodeath theory, and advanced degrees are granted in Masters’ in Transcendent Knowledge; PhD in Psychedelic Eternalism.
Night Fever Surrender to Psilocybin transformation – paste bk club summaries of my mission statement
WHAT LOOKS LIKE dread Dittrich’s Dread DED dimension, dread ETCLOC — the experience of the threat of catastrophic loss of control, on the ego, childish side of the gate, is transformation of ctrl: a 2-level relationshio w God the puppetmaster
we are not to be hubristic self assured control agents yet nor are we to avoid massive Kafei sized Max Freakout 3 Reallys high , Eight Reallys High:
God wants creatures to be rly high to know Him as Source of control, yet not hubristic self assured
like shamans right form of full active control , not egoic possibilism-premised control
in the peak state and afterwards we must utilize possibility thinking ego, egoic like possibilism-thinking , freewill thinking , BUT qualified possibilism-thinking
Justified Rectified Purified Egoic Control Thinking
2-level, dependent control
monolithic, autonomous control is now washed: known to be only virtual
use the branching model false virtual illusory local egoic POV but modded.
do not RELY on egoic premise re the foundation source of ctrl
to have stable ctrl, Use egoic freewill looking self control, but yet with a transformed, cleaned, redeemed, rectified, washed, washed clean foundation a new understanding of our source of control.
Our basis foundation is changed, although the visible upper layer of self control looks like it is free will premed but yet transformed foundation understood

Gordon . . . .🔍🧐🤔 Wasson, example of what kind of person is pals with the Pope — MAKING Christianity LOOK BAD, GOOD JOB DEMON WASSON THE DECEIVER, achieving levels of conflict of interest not thought possible.
- Wasson: “If you say there’s mushroom imagery in Christian art, you mycologists are blundering ignoramuses.”
- Wasson: “You failed to consult the art world” / in the same paragraph: [shhh, I am covertly censoring the Brinckmann citation: Albert Brinckmann’s 1906 86-page book in German, Tree Stylizations in Medieval Paintings & two mushroom-trees pics sent by the world’s top art historian Panofsky, and – Brown astutely 2019 pointed out: withheld the 2nd Panofsky letter WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE, Huggins, THERE IS NO EXCUSING THIS CHACANERY DUPLICITY COVER-UP OPERATION THAT YOU GUYS — YOUR SIDE — MICA Deniers — DID. How solid is your case, Ronald Huggins, given that Wasson resorted to HIDING academic publications, how can you excuse [cit his article page quote] this atrocious, INEXCUSABLE behavior on YOUR side, Huggins?? I am holding you guilty as Wasson’s defender. Wasson’s censorship PROVES he is lying and you MICA Deniers cannot win an honest debate so you have to resort to deception.] Art Historians are revealed to be liars, or on the side of a leading liar, Gordon . . . .🔍🧐🤔 Wasson; Art Historians are revealed to be defending Wasson’s duplicitouus censorship, “It’s ok” NO IT IS NOT OK, Huggins. YOU GUYS GOT A BIG PROBLEM, in the words of the worlds greatest exemplary historian, Thomas Hatsis.
- I am the banker for the Pope and have private audience with him.
- Andy Letcher book Shroom in 2006, quoted in The Holy Mushroom ji08: “Wasson says it, I believe it, that settles it.”
- Ronald Huggins’ 2024 article “Foraging for Psychedelic Mushrooms in the Wrong Forest: The Great Canterbury Psalter as a Medieval Test Case” — “Wasson tried to force his pretended negative view on mycologists, but THAT’S OK, b/c as proved by fact that MICA Affirmers still were able to publish assertions of mushroom imagery in Christian art despite Wasson.”
