In 1987 my mission was fix dysfunctional cross-time control and explain how.
In 1988 my mission changed to explain ego transcendence easily as eternalism-thinking , mental model transformation from possibilism to eternalism in loose cognition : the (Cybernetic) Theory of Ego Transcendence
2025 mission: equip Loose Cognitive Science (& everyone) to endure and explore the psychedelic state.
suitably equipped for balance stable comtrol where u know how to climax and know what lies down that direction of thinking in the bridal chamber, while in the heated psychotic-able state of enlightened madness like the Acid Metal album Diary of a Madman.
frenzy maenad divine mania — honor the god Dionysus to have climax ability with control stability, calmly routinely boringly know what control-disproof disruption climax potential lies down that direction of looking.

Motivation for Creating this Page
Someone in a meeting of experts – who doesn’t know the Egodeath theory – asked me if we can have stable control, since …
todo: link to “mission” yesterday writing defining my mission as give map/ explantory model to Cognitive Sci Loose Cognitive Scientists & Phil’ers of Mind.
Advise Cog Scientist to stand on right foot, not stand on left foot — but complete balanced initiation requires using both feet: purified Left foot branching-thinking together with Right foot non-branching-thinking.
cover art of german edition of David Ulansey’s solution explaining Mithraism book:
cosmology and salvation in the pagan world, mysteries of mithras: pact between heimarmene & transcend heimarmene
the integration of eternalism-thinking & transcendent possibilism-thinking
bull is Stand on left foot is branching-thinking is possibilism , basic possibilism-thinking
mithras is fixed stars is eternalism , basic eternalism-thinking
Aion is transcendent possibilism-thinking above eternalism
TWO DIFF MAPPINGS of Mithras!
always put sol below mithras when map the 3 levels/ phases:
Mithra = eternalism (enlightened)
Sol = possibilism (naive possibilism-thinking )
OR!:
Mithra = transcendent possibilism-thinking ; transcend cosmic eternalism heimarmene fate prison enslavement
Sol = king of eternalism
seems like 3 phases and Sol = lower 1.5 phaed ses & Mithra = the upper 1.5 phases:
3) Mithras (transcendent possibilism); Aion; head of Leonocephalic figure
2) eternalism: lower part of Mithras (bull slayer); higher part of Sol after pact he is assigned ruler over Fate cosmos
11) Sol & bull – naive possibilism-thinking. more bull here than Sol. before or in early phases of initiation, Sol = bull, overpowered by Mithras.
consider WHY NEED 3 Figures : Aion/Leono AND Mithras AND Sol?? Squirrely slippery mapping.
Pre/Trans fallacy:, phase 1 naive possibilism-thinking looks like phase 3 transcendent possibilism-thinking.
phase 1: (naive) possibilism-thinking
phase 2: (basic) eternalism-thinking
phase 3: transcend eternalism; integrated transcendent possibilism-thinking & transcendent eternalism-thinking
one moment, Mithras = eternalism sacrificing possibilism-thinking; but next moment, Mithras represents “above eternalism “!
next moment, mithras is above heimarmene/ eternalism at transcendent possibilism-thinking and sol = mere heimarmene (lower) level?
proof that one moment, first, Mithras represents eternalism-thinking: in the tauroctony bull-sacrifice scene , Mithras L foot bent and —
announcement from other day:
do not focus on which torch up or down in Cautes vs Cautopates and DO NOT SAY “LEGS CROSSED”, say …
DO NOT SEE “LEGS CROSSED” , SEE WHICH LEG IS BENT!
c&c twins are not “legs crossed”, they have “one leg bent”! legs crossed is a mere means to an end, to bend leg to indicate weight relying on the other leg.
ANNOUNCEMENT: mytheme decoding: {bent leg} (L or R)
I am not now discovering or initially decoding (ie, mapping to its actual referent) the {bent leg} motif; I am now officially announcing as a gathering of variant instances. April 24, 2025 7:15 am date of formal announce.
I mean “{bent leg}” as shorthand for:
{bent left leg or bent right leg}
= rely non/branching thinking = stand on right leg / stand on left foot / stand on right foot
{cut right trunk} = stand on right foot
huge art motif that only i discovered: {bent leg} , part of {handedness} motif.
cautes and cautopates: Mithraism :
cut foot: f134 major theme: blade touch left limb.
DO NOT SEE THEIR LEGS “CROSSED”; SEE WHICH LEGS BENT in The tauroctony bull-sacrifice scene :
i think consistently guy on left has L leg bent IN ORDER TO MATCH MithraS, guy right has R leg bent TO MATCH BULL.
In every intact tauroctony bull-sacrifice scene:
left guy and Mithras have L leg bent = stand on right foot
rely on non-branching thinking

Engineers and the STEM way of explaining.
Since Spring 1988, I held Science at arm’s length to the extent that the idea of Science was dominated by Copenhagen Manyworlds interpretation of Physics instead of Minkowski 4D spacetime block universe eternalism, & instead aligned with Engineering in March 1988, upon finding that they willfully change the word ‘measure’ to ‘observe’ – probably doc’ed in book How the Hippies Saved Physics.

Hanegraaff Correction
Fate posts on videos to copy to Hanegraaff pages
yt ch VIS MYTH
The most interesting topic needing videos and research is the relation in Late Antiquity between cosmos spheres 8 & 9.
The Demiurge resides in sphere 8, ruling over the 7 archons who rule the 7 planetary spheres.
Sphere 8 = Fate, fatedness, the Ogdoad, the sphere of the fixed stars, Heimarmene, the cosmic prison, the cosmic rock, cosmic enslavement, wrapped by cosmic heimarmene serpent.
The soul (in a narrow, limited sense per the Valentinian 3-part model) rises to this level, no higher.
All brands of religion in Late Antiquity affirmed Fate, and also set their sights on the spirit rising to sphere 9 above Fate, above Heimarmene, to be redeemed and rescued out from the cosmic rock.
The initiate affirms the pair of both views, rebirth into sphere 8 (Heimarmene) together with higher rebirth into sphere 9, the Ennead, outside the sphere of the fixed stars; transcending Fate.
That is per David Ulansey’s solution explaining Mithraism: his book and his two articles:

Correction of Hanegraaff in the video at:
https://youtu.be/RocoS-vOGFk&t=500s = 8:20

Tat travels through the 7 planetary Fate-ruled spheres of the cosmos to reach Fate-ruled sphere 8 of the cosmos, the sphere of the fixed stars, which is the outermost sphere of the cosmos, the millions of stars of the cosmos, including the zodiac.
Hanegraaff correctly writes that the zodiac is Heimarmene/ Fate.
The zodiac is in the Ogdoad, which means 8th sphere of the cosmos, where the Demiurge dwells, ruling over the 7 planetary archon Fate rulers.
Hermetic rebirth is into the Ogdoad and the Ennead contrasted against each other like Fate vs. also transcending Fatedness, affirming both as a pair of complementary views, as lower, purified soul plus higher, transcendent spirit.
The soul (in the strict sense) halts in the Fate-ruled Ogdoad, sphere 8; sphere of the fixed stars.
Then in phase 2 of rebirth, the spirit travels outside of the 8-sphere cosmos, above the sphere of the fixed stars, reaching sphere 9, the Ennead.
This resolves Hanegraaffs’s footnote 114:
“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.” – p. 294.
In the Earth-centered cosmos model, it is a simple given that looking at the sky, the 5 white dots of the planetary spheres move relative to sphere 8, which is defined by the fixed stars.
Cosmos sphere 8, defined by the fixed stars, is the outer, most extremely visible sphere of the cosmos, the Ogdoad, which the soul (in the strict sense) is reborn into.
Hanegraaff correctly writes that the fixed stars are heimarmene.
The fixed stars define cosmos sphere 8, called the Ogdoad.
Tat is reborn in phase 1 of rebirth, into the highest level of pure Heimarmene, where the purified soul reaches the fixed stars and stops.
The result is the harmonious integration of the soul in Heimarmene sphere 8 in the cosmos (the 8th, the Ogdoad) along with the spirit above Heimarmene, in sphere 9 (the 9th, the Ennead) outside the Fate-ruled cosmos.
Tat (the initiate) asks to be brought into pure Heimarmene (the Ogdoad) and also into above Heimarmene, into the Ennead.
Then Tat (with soul in Fate sphere 8 & spirit in above-Fate sphere 9) can perceive the 2nd level that’s outside the Fate-ruled, 8-sphere cosmos, outside the most-visible cosmos sphere, perceiving the Decans, the Source, the Pege; level 10.
See David Ulansey’s solution explaining Mithraism, which was also in Late Antiquity, starting around 98 CE, flourishing around 150 CE, same as Hermetism.
Per Dr. Justin Sledge, of the ESOTERICA YouTube channel, with astrologer Chris Brennan, all brands of religion in Late Antiquity affirmed cosmic Fate (the fixed stars, defining cosmos sphere 8) and aspired to deliver transcending Fate, by also reaching sphere 9, outside the cosmos.
Look up at the millions of fixed stars in the sky and 5 wandering planetary stars (plus sun & moon): that visible sky is the Fate-ruled, 8-sphere cosmos, to ascend to and also ascend beyond, in Hermetism and in the other brands of religion in Late Antiquity.
The visible, Fate-ruled cosmos has 7 planetary spheres and most visible of all by far, sphere 8 of the cosmos, which the soul reaches, in rebirth of the soul, and which the spirit rises above, in spiritual rebirth outside the cosmos:
Per Mithraism, “born out from the rock” (the Ogdoad, sphere 8, fixed stars, the zodiac) to see the hypercosmic light (in the Ennead, sphere 9, and Decans, level 10).
Cosmic sphere 8 along with hypercosmic sphere 9 = the pact of harmony between Sol & Mithras; the soul & the spirit; Heimarmene & transcending Heimarmene.
“The 8th Reveals the 9th”, as David Litwa’s new 2025 book Hermetica I titles the Hermetic writing.
