This Draft Post an Exercise in Off-Topicness: todo: move sections across pages, add more content about the Egodeath community

At least, sending this draft post achieves a place about the Egodeath community, to develop. I gotta go for now: reading stack of 13 documents about psychedelic-church policies.

It’s same as an idea development page eg 31.

The Egodeath Community: List Includes

  • First of all, everyone except drive-by posters, in Egodeath Yahoo Group & unmoderated Egodeath Yahoo Group.
  • the first guy who posted in Egodeath Yahoo Group June 2001
  • wrmspirit, the 2nd person i think to post in Egodeath Yahoo Group
  • the guy who provided puzzle 4 pieces per common-core mysticism and perennialism image for that article
  • Strange Loop, Strangeloop
  • Max Freakout
  • Cyberdisciple
  • Kafei
  • Strange Loop
  • Dr. Brown & Brown against the Ardent Advocates team (= the Egodeath community & vigorous Affirmers of mushroom imagery in Christian art – but i converted him to join the AAs)
  • the guy who helped condense 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/

This was supposed to be a short post to rest fingers.

now printing my church’s ~13 documents about drafting policies re: ceremonies.

Least Ceremony

  • What is your name? = religious ritual.
  • Pass the collection plate. = religious ritual.
  • Which sacrament? = religious ritual.
  • Dosage? = religious ritual.
  • t0? What time for small group forming a circle? Write down the time. = religious ritual.
  • my distinct contribution, the question: at t2hours, re-gather in small circle: redose? to extend the flat curve and stay cruising altitude.
  • very optional: Intention? (not suggested by me; from someone in the Gongs community: that community gets credit for the present list)

Kafei Episodes & Strange Loop & Cyberdisciple

Proof that Everything Max Freakout Says Is False

in 1:28 in episode 12 of Transcendent Knowledge Podcast Max Freakout says I’m not going to do any more episodes w/ Cyberdisciple who is boring and uninspiring — yet they did more episodes together.

So, no mushrooms.

oops i meant:

So, everything Max says is false.

That logic is the “catastrophizing” fallacy:

If
any statement by any Affirmers of mushroom imagery in Christian art is false, then that proves:
No mushroom imagery in Christian art.

This tone is the tone used by Deniers of mushroom imagery in Christian art. I am making true statements about art, therefore: So, no mushroom imagery in Christian art/ = no Secret Christian Amanita Cult = no provable intentional use of mushrooms in eur hist to deliberately have [me: don’t forget to say PEAK] religious experiencing.

todo: link Letcher page where he was forced to respond to my bk review apirl 2007/04/01 then Jan Irvin review 2007/04/08.

  1. An Affirmer of mushroom imagery in Christian art made a false statement, like Ruck 2009 Sacred Mushroom & The Cross writing that Dancing Man salamander bestiary’s mushroom-tree has a red cap (it’s blue).
  2. So, that disproves Allegro/Ruck’s Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory. [insert here any small, transitional arg – doesn’t matter; stepping stone to the end goal:]
  3. So, that proves (per Andy Letcher’s book Shroom, 2006 UK):
    No mushroom imagery in Christian art. = no mushroom use in Eur history. THEREFORE WHITES MUST CRAWL grovelling BEGGING ON KNEES PERMISSION FROM THE DERBY TEAM, THE INDIGENOUS SHAMS. CONTRADICTING Thomas Hatsis own book arg. b/c the Indigenous Shams OWN psilocybin and the loftiest of spir’y eg quote the violent mayhem savagery incorp’g psilocybin that’s cited in:
    Jan Irvin’s 2022 book God’s Flesh: Teonanacátl: The True History of the Sacred Mushroom, August 2, 2022 https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Flesh-Teonanac%C3%A1tl-History-Mushroom/dp/0982556225/
    ji22
    & Thomas Hatsis 2025 book Psychedelic Injustice.
    i wrote review of – posted review of Jan Irvin in wrong small Amaz page, linked it here at present site. Need to move, i owe Jan Irvin, he asked meto copy it to correct Amzn big page, 5 star i think. https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Flesh-Teonanac%C3%A1tl-History-Mushroom/dp/0982556225/
    the Indigenous Shams
    i-s
  4. Also, per th25 Thomas Hatsis 2025 book Psychedelic Injustice – Euopr history DID TOO have rich full psychedelics history EXCEPT NO Secret Christian Amanita Cult IE NO MUSHROOMS IN EUROP HISTORY, b/c even though “Allegro is and was my fav author all my life” [point url blog post], [per my book review] Thomas Hatsis says “I wish above all that europe had psychedelics history, but, alas, the Secret Christian Amanita Cult is false, you are idiot if you ever thought allegro any good. So, there were no mushrooms in Christian art / history.

UK Spelling FTW: Grovelling, Not Groveling

for the win [FTW]

Is ‘grovelling’ a legitimate spelling of the word ‘groveling’?
https://www.google.com/search?q=Is+%27grovelling%27+a+legitimate+spelling+of+the+word+%27groveling%27%3F
“Yes, “grovelling” is a legitimate spelling, but it is primarily used in British English, while “groveling” is the standard spelling in American English. Both spellings refer to the act of being excessively servile or humble or the act of lying or crawling on the ground.”

Toward a Philosophy of Psychedelic Technology: An Exploration of Fear, Otherness, and Control (Alan Houot, 2019, master’s thesis in degree programme) https://www.academia.edu/38583547/Toward_a_Philosophy_of_Psychedelic_Technology_An_Exploration_of_Fear_Otherness_and_Control + https://egodeaththeory.org/2023/01/22/toward-a-philosophy-of-psychedelic-technology-an-exploration-of-fear-otherness-and-control-houot-2019/
ah19 – Abstract of thesis: WHAT DEGREE – FIND in my page “philosophy”

“The central question guiding this study is: In what ways can modern users conceptualize the psychedelic experience that counters the current fear-laden discourse on drugs? Misconceptions and falsehoods conflate current ways of considering drugs in general and psychedelics in particular. Fears of psychedelics serve as the framework to apply philosophies of mind and technology to the reexamination and amendment of psychedelic concepts and terms. Governmental and religious institutional actors fear psychedelic users will: harm one’s self and others because psychedelics are still falsely believed to have analogous properties to mental illness; the incommunicability of seemingly non-rational states cause disjunction between shared sociocultural knowledge; and psychedelics are arguably similar to mystical experiences, thus mainstream religion fears individuals’ direct access to divine realms, which could upend their hierarchical and spiritually monopolistic power structures. Next, modern researchers commonly advise users to “surrender” to psychedelic experiences, a term likely adopted from mysticism. Since surrender implies a master role is at play, a discussion on master-subject relations emerge when confronting the “psychedelic Other,” i.e. the spatial context, experiential content, and originating from within or without users’ minds. To better understand users’ fears, an analysis of known and unknown fears provide context to the ultimate psychedelic fear, that of a conscious and intelligent unknown presence. Against these fears of psychedelic Others, a new conception of (altered) states of self develops that considers the current debate in cognitive neuroscience and philosophy. Narrative and minimal selves are co-present during psychedelic experiences depending on dosage and intoxication levels, and a new qualitative framework is proffered to understand these implications. Finally, it is suggested that modern psychedelic users need not abandon the prototypical mystic to conceptualize their experiences, but instead might consider another prototypical figure, the shaman. [the Indigenous Shams] Rather than dealing in surrender and fear like mystics and modern users, drug-taking shamans control and master their experiences through the joint use of symbolism, techniques, and technologies [translation: drum, chant, dance – VERY IMPRESSIVE TECHNOLOGY!]. A change in prototype also has epistemological significance, that is, from perennialist to constructivist approaches when considering psychedelically subjective knowledge. In view of built narratives regarding self and knowledge, i.e. narrative self and epistemological constructivism [SMELLS LIKE TEEN BULLSHIITE], analysis shows how shamans use symbols with technologies to control their experiences and the idea of symbolico-technological relations is proposed. The above philosophical insights have prescriptive consequences that provide new opportunities for modern society and users to conceptualize psychedelic experiences, to control them, and as a result, to reduce fear.”

the Egodeath theory = MAXIMIZE FEAR / Max Freakout , fear you to death, egodeath.

EUROPE MYSTIC SURRENDER ACTUALLY IS VASTLY SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY TOWERING OVER the Indigenous Shams SAVAGERY AND VAGUE “HEALING” AND CURSING ENEMY SHAMS.

Master of Science in Philosophy of Science, Technology and Society = Superior Shaman Technology, Better than Western Surrenderism

Master of Science in Philosophy of Science, Technology and Society = Superior Shaman Technology, Better than Western Surrenderism, Is, Specifically: Chant, Dance, Drum, to Have Full Control on High-Dose Psilocybin During Human Sacrifice & Curse-Weaponry Against Enemy Shamans (*and to Find Lost Objects) – PEAK SPIRITUALITY!

We European Mystics Can Learn SO MUCH from the Indigenous Shams, if They Accept Our Plea for Permission to Use Their Psilocybin and Usage Technologies: How to Human Sacrifice on High-Dose Psilocybin?

Lyrics:

I’m feeling sacrilegious

Put your arms around me

I’ll stab you in the back

You’ll never see a skeleton

Christ I’ll be the one in Bible black

You should have treated Your saviors better

With the tombs that you left behind

Do you think that coffins gossip

And all of your ghosts are blind?

Are you here for the resurrection?

How deep did you dig my grave?

Cancel your subscription

You’re the one who needs to be saved

Let’s get evil

I’m feeling sacrilegious

You can climb

To the top of my horns

but make sure that you don’t look down

Don’t spit in the face of God
When you’re trying
To wear his crown

Are you here for the resurrection?

How deep did you dig my grave?

Cancel your subscription

You’re the one who needs to be saved

Let’s get evil I’m feeling sacrilegious

You can’t kill it until it’s born

You can’t kill it until it’s born

Let’s get evil

I’m feeling sacrilegious

I’m coming back, baby

Alan Houot 2019 Thesis in Philosophy of “Science, Technology” and Society

What is “technology”? What is “surrenderism”? we asked Him in psychedelic church book club, big-brain academic couldn’t answer these elementary definitional questions, but “Mystics Bad, Shamans Good” –> u win degree!!

Amanita = honorary; cite “Daturas for the Virgin” artuges what?

Does Ruck argue that (like Heinrich: Strange Fruit + 2nd Edition title from Park St Press) Psilocybin is a suitable standin for the real, uber psychedelic Amanita? NO! b/c they are not both psychedelics.

When the real thing, Amanita, was unabilable, alas they were forced to inferior Psilocybin – strike that – Datura. – Ruck 2001

Ruck 2001 “Daturas for the Virgin” argues that Datura/Scopalamine is a suitable equivalnt of Amanita.

Link/cite Keven Feeney’s book on Amanita. The Effects cahapter reads as if he made it to order per my request, perfect chatpr, says Amanita effects = Deliriant like Scop.

JLF: for Experimental Use Only, and Incense for Religious Ritual

I invented (derived) concept of Least Ceremony – my inspiration was 5MeO packaging from JLF 1986-2003 mail order, “for experimental use and religious ritual incense” but what is “religious ritual”??
