Mushroom-Trees with 3-7 Caps

How many mushroom-trees in Great Canterbury Psalter have 4 caps/crowns, like fingers? f177?

5 caps would work if one ~= thumb. eg:
https://egodeaththeory.org/2025/05/25/f109-great-canterbury-psalter-hellmouth-net-ossuary-cloth-looking-out-from-temple/

not hand-like: 5 caps + {cut right trunk} = thumb

Guy in fire no left arm, YI hand reaching toward Christ, implies leaving fire via ossuary. Ossuary guy has cloak, = improved mental world model; improved personal control system.

11:24 a.m. January 19, 2026 — there are 4 caps of mushroom-tree and there are 4 fingers; caps = fingers. cut branch = thumb.

Summary: The Meaning of the Image and Genre

The message is:

Psilocybin mushrooms reveal purification by repeated immersion in the psychedelic state, harrowing, corrective demons fire, done cooking and transforming when made to make the YI sign w/ thumb & fingers.

Then rescued from experience of the threat of catastrophic loss of control , when lose left arm & lose left leg, and receive thumb, along with fingers.

Elab’d:

Then rescued from experience of the threat of catastrophic loss of control , when lose left arm & lose left leg (those = branching thinking​; possibilism-thinking) and receive thumb (non-branching; eternalism) along with fingers (branching; possibilism).

Receive ‘I’ along with ‘YI’;
Receive eternalism-thinking added to possibilism-thinking.

The psilocybin mushroom revelation of eternalism causes panic, dread, control instability;
control stability occurs after mental model transformation;
end up with integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking.

Revelation of:
eternalism — that is:
eternalism-thinking
analogical psychedelic eternalism
analogical psychedelic eternalism with dependent control
analogical psychedelic eternalism with 2-level, dependent control
analogical psychedelic eternalism thinking with 2-level, dependent control

instead of only knowing:
possibilism — that is:
possibilism-thinking
literalist ordinary-state possibilism
literalist ordinary-state possibilism with autonomous control
literalist ordinary-state possibilism with monolithic, autonomous control
literalist ordinary-state possibilism thinking with monolithic, autonomous control

End up with:

  • 2POV
  • two different points of view
  • two different mental models of possibility and control
  • qualified possibilism-thinking along with basic eternalism-thinking
  • integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking

f107 Proves Previous Hypothesis Reading Fingers and Thumb as Branching vs. Non-Branching

When did I first try to map possibilism & eternalism to hand / finger shapes? March 21, 2022, when emailing Jerry Brown re: Marcia Kupfer art historian re: “cuts the branches” in St Martin … maybe. That email made term “branching-message mushroom trees”, but did that email thread include figuring out finger shapes by Jesus on donkey? Same week probably.

3:39 p.m. January 19, 2026 – important: this picture PROVES my previous speculations about fingers and thumb.

This image clearly links on the right:
cut branch ~= thumb,
4 mushroom branches ~= fingers.

Other motifs in f107 that corroborate that:

  • Angel’s thumb against open book.
  • Sage’s thumb against open book.
  • Policeman’s thumb against open scroll touching God’s cloud; fingers not touching scroll.
  • God’s thumb touching God’s cloud; God’s fingers not touching God’s cloud.
  • Hellmouth fire pit guy making IY shape with thumb & fingers reaching to Christ via ossuary.

In the course of this decoding, 11 p.m. January 17, 2026, I analyzed (in max detail) dancing man: fingers touching head, came away with the same type of creativity:
3 fingers splayed touching L of forehead;
Index finger separate, touches R of forehead.
Has closed eyes, same as f107 sleep guy.

Is the message “Jesus was a mushroom?”

Is the message “secret hidden suppressed heretical Amanita Gnosis”?

Alan Houot talks about Engineering-type, technical UX progress toward Transcendent Knowledge – I do it. Invented the acronym in April 1987, on expansive, wide-ruled paper.

Not the case: you might speculate, as implied by naming:

  • Wide ruled = high school, to 12th grade.
  • College ruled = college. College freshman+.

But the official story is very different:

  • Wide ruled paper = grade school, but only through 4th grade.
  • College ruled is for upper grade school (5th grade) and after. ie, you are expected to have your hand writing dialed in by end of 4th grade, age 9. When turn 10, expect small excellent hand writing (5th grade) suitable for college hand writing.

In April 1987, I threw away 6″ x 8″ blank books with maybe college ruled, and did a fresh start (when father died), using binder filler paper Wide ruled.

That change of paper & binding hugely blew open the horizon, and I started explicitly, consciously, doing theory development for the first time.

I became a theorist of mental construct processing and STEM-expressed Transcendent Knowledge, in April 1987, by moving to Wide ruled paper; in start of binders series: around April 1987 through June 1987.

Then, having really gotten routine doing this theory devmt, I switched from Wide ruled binder sheets, to College-ruled binder sheets, keeping some expansiveness, but miniaturizing the lines.

I cannot just use College Ruled paper, now, to tap into that consciousness;
I must also use the pivotal key expansion: Wide Ruled binder sheets.

Ariadne only has branching hand (fingers only).

Dionysus is not exclusively eternalism-thinking; he integrates possibilism-thinking. 2POV.

compare black key tree (upper part of picture) to upper half of mushroom-tree:

  • black key tree: YI (3 stems) bracketed by cut L trunk & cut R trunk.
  • mushroom-tree upper half: there are 3 stems at first, bottom-up; bracketed by cut L branch & cut R branch.

His 4 fingers ~= 4 caps of mushroom-tree.
His thumb ~= the cut branch of mushroom-tree.

{hand showing fingers but not finger tips} = “branching, negated”.

Notation: Read “~=” as “is like” or “maps to”.

{thumb} : {cut branch} :: {4 fingers} : {4 branches}

11:56 a.m. January 19, 2026 — solved! decoded! in both trees, the count of cut branches, or cuts, or etc.: just like I found a mushroom-tree often has 4 protrusions, like 4 limbs – or here, 4 fingers.

mushroom-tree: 4 cut trunk at bottom, maps to his 4 fingers, or the 4 caps/crowns of the tree.

black key tree: 2 cut trunks & 2 branching leaves (Y on left)

mushroom-tree: 4 cut trunks, 4 caps/crowns; his 4 fingers. 2 visual cuts of 2 of the 4 branches/stems.

12:00 Noon January 19, 2026 – semi correction: below, bottom of mushroom-tree, is 4 cut trunks, maps to his lower hand showing 4 fingers visually bent/cut.

mushroom-tree, upper half: each of the 3 branches that ends w/ cap/crown, has a cut:

from bottom up:

  • L branch has cut L branch.

Possibilism and Eternalism Are Cumulative, Not Mutually Exclusive, per Ken Wilber’s “Embrace and Include” the Earlier, Lower Developmental Structure

Since 2025 April/Aug 2POV breakthrough way of thinking and expressing, I fear to say “vs” as in, “possibilism vs. eternalism”.

Possibilism and Eternalism are not pitted against; mut exclusive.

possibilism-thinking and eternalism-thinking are not mutually exclusive. Gaining eternalism-thinking does not mean “get rid of possibilism-thinking” like insane Popular Neo-Advaita says.

Ken Wilber tries to distance from Popular Neo-Advaita, calling for more sophistication. This is No True Scotsman fallacy: “Real Advaita is not insanely deleting egoic structures.”

I don’t care about irrelevant, alleged postdoc University Academia Armchair Learned Sophisticated PHILOSOPHY THEORY of Advaita that has a buried footnote “Strictly speaking, ego is relatively real.”

That precision doesn’t matter. Shell game, move goalposts, bait & switch.

The only thing that matters is Popular Neo-Advaita, which is insanity and developmental ruin. The model of mystical experience that’s baked into psychedelic pseudo science is not “sophisticated nuanced real Advaita”; but rather, Popular Neo-Advaita in its simplified insanity:

  • you don’t exist
  • nothing is real
  • your mind doesn’t exist
  • nothing exists
  • lang is incapable
  • truth cannot be in words (functional self-contradictions L & R)
  • ineffable
  • apophatic
  • Transcendent Knowledge cannot be explained per STEM, clearly and explicitly.

In 1985-1987, I required a clear, rational, useful model of Transcendent Knowledge, articulated exactly same as any field explained per STEM fashion.

Frits Staal’s 1975 book Exploring Mysticism agrees with me: rejects the premise of “Transcendent Knowledge is non-rational” (in 4 religions, he lists). p. 390 of Baier article High Mysticism:
https://egodeaththeory.org/2025/05/15/moving-past-mysticism-in-psychedelic-science-article-debate-series/#High-Mysticism

Baier wrote: p. 390: “Staal accuses Learn and Alpert for having ceased to be rational explorers”

Baier quotes Staal there: “They seemed to have lost their rational mind, and founded instead a religious sect.” Staal p. 188.

“The academic research of mysticism is not even developed enough to provide a valid definition of mysticism”

Baier wrote: “According to him [Staal] at the present time [1975] the academic research of mysticism is not even developed enough to provide a valid definition of mysticism.”

Alan Houot in Rise of the Psychonaut says “be rational”. He thus implicitly rejects “Transcendent Knowledge is non-rational.”

Staal wrongly, like EVERYONE other than me, imagines that “mysticism” = the Unitive experience (he probably gives away that specifically, he imagines mysticism = positive unitive model.

Read the word choice loosely in such articles about mysticism & psychedelic mysticism. Notice every time the writer uses, for any purpose/point, words like: 3 groups of key words:

EXAMPLE 9:24 a.m. January 19, 2026 —
“ego dissolution” a la Dittrich OAV 1994: or the guy who in 1985 extracted the OAV dimensions from Dittrich’s 1975 v1 APZ questionnaire:
ego dissolution connotes what they are thinking, everyone who assumes mysticism = positive unitive model: “dissolution = separation != unitive”; You were supposed to have unitive experience, but instead, you had dissolution into multiplicity/ separation, so, bad trip.” Their off-based explanation.

  1. unitive (union, merging, oceanic)
  2. non unitive (separation, multiplicity, dissociation, angst)
  3. positive (bliss, pleasant, joy)
  • union
  • non separation
  • non multiplicity
  • boundary
  • encapsulated
  • merging
  • oceanic
  • bliss

also trace words that carry the paradigm “anti-rational”:

  • non-rational
  • irrational
  • ineffable
  • apophatic
  • words cannot explain

Quotes from Staal High Mysticism re: Rejecting the Anti-Rational Premise

anti-scientific exoticism“: p. 389 top: Baier wrote that Staal is “not a naive adherent of the countercultural worldview and criticized a hippie-like anti-scientific exoticism.” Staal wrote: “Those who have had enough of science and rationality [eg anti-rational interps of QM] … look at exotic repositories of the irrational; the Oriental religions and cults seem to meet such a description very well. ONLY IF WE LOOK CLOSELY DO WE FIND SOMETHING DIFFERENT” …

Or find something self-contradictory, like Mosur’s article Abstract saying you’re not allowed to do entheogen scholarship other than centered around and limited to Indig Shams, because there is no evidence (of any kind) for any other psychedelics history – she backpedals and contradicts that in her talk.

QM, Hidden Variables

see interps of Quantum Mysticism other than Bohm’s hidden variables & superdetermism: my complaint is that these are gleeful anti-rationalists, who WANT physics to be irrational, and do not even TRY to find a way of “the particle has a position, we just are ignorant of what that position is”; they DESIRE the particle to have no position until we, magically, “observe/measure it consciously” which then “gives” the particle a position. -mh

The “Positive Unitive” Model Is Disproved by the {shadow dragon monster}

Be suspicious of the connotation network they try to weave via word-choice; even when not directly talking about nature of mystical experience, the articles are flooded with flavor-connotation words to paint that paradigm.

Paradigm-driven lexicon and word-choice.

the positive unitive paradigm vs.
the eternalism-driven control-transformation paradigm.

Sure, control might transform into unitive, but it is spiritual bypassing to do as __ says, and just skip over control transformation to cheat and jump straight to unitive, bringing possibilism-thinking pollution –> PRODUCES CONTROL INSTABILITY.

{SHADOW DRAGON MONSTER} = EXPERIENCE OF THE THREAT OF CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF CONTROL DISPROVES THE POSITIVE UNITIVE MODEL.

Mysticism: Rename the positive unitive model of “mystical experience” to add: {shadow dragon monster} ie control instability

The positive unitive mystical experience comes with the shadow dragon monster.

The “shadow” that matters is NOT personal “material coming up”.

The shadow monster is transpersonal; universal in all minds, which start with possibilism-thinking then learn eternalism-thinking, producing integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking.

Mysticism in Psychedelic Science: Good Friday Experiment at Marsh Chapel: “frightened by loss of control; terrifying fight to overcome”, & tower escapee was given tranquilizer (both omitted by Pahnke)

The Baier article High Mysticism shows Doblin’s redo of the Good Friday Experiment at Marsh Chapel on April 20, 1962 by Walter Pahnke under the advisor Tim Leary , censored:

  • a guy was terrified of loss of control and had bad trip fighting against that threat – Baier article High Mysticism p. 386 middle.
  • a guy was brought down to baseline w/ a tranquilizer eg Thorazine/ CPZ, in stairwell postal message to the university leader. – Baier article High Mysticism p. 387 bottom.

the control instability that is produced by combining psilocybin with positive unitive model, disproves that Unity is the central focus and activity of the mystical experience process

Unity is nothing but an alleged end-state, skipping all the fullness of the process/ ladder/ path which would be needed to get to the alleged destination of Unitive experience/ “realization”

psychedelic mysticism
psmy

Mysticism: The ‘positive unitive’ model of “mystical experience” (Popular Neo-Advaita) is insanity, chaos, developmental failure, avoidance of Transcendent Knowledge

Positive unitive Pop Neo-Advaita is insanity destroying previous developmental structures.

Ken Wilber warned about this.

Must “embrace and include” the earlier developmental structure (egoic personal control system; possibilism-thinking).

Must Integrate and Differentiate, Preserve and Include, Childish “Separation”/ “Multiplicity”, by which they should say instead, egoic control thinking.

possibilism-thinking is not bad; having ONLY possibilism-thinking is bad. Good is having both possibilism-thinking & eternalism-thinking; YI. Hand showing YI shape.

Notes Written on Baier p. 367, Top

non-branching = sun light, standing; thumb on scroll.
branching-demon = S [?] each branching-demon has ears like Y horns.

{thumb over heart} motif 6x because YI mushroom-tree (lower R) naturally maps to hand as:

  • cut branch of mushroom-tree is to
    the branching part of the mushroom-tree, as:
  • thumb is to
    fingers.

a:b = c:d

{cut branch of mushroom-tree} : {the branching part of the mushroom-tree} =
{thumb} : {fingers}

a:b :: c:d

wiki: “A statement expressing the equality of two ratios A:B and C:D is called a proportion, written as
A:B = C:D
or
A:B∷C:D
The latter form, when spoken or written in the English language, is often expressed as:
(A is to B) as (C is to D).”

branching = moon, eyes closed, sitting on ground, not seeing (yet, hold beard, w/ thumb & fingers)

God’s non-branching thumb touches God’s cloud, fingers don’t. That’s like: Police’s L hand: thumb over/above scroll that’s touching non-branching branch of tree that’s touching the Sun Light cloud;
Police’s R hand: thumb against open scroll that’s touching God’s cloud.

  1. Thumb vs. fingers; eternalism vs possibilism; non-branching vs branching
  2. Favor thumb over fingers
  3. Favor YI (thumb & fingers) over Y (fingers, no thumb).

Notes Written on Baier p. 367, Right Margin

Consistent:

Closed book how favor — .. correction: No hand at closed book.
Hand holds book / Police’s L [R hand is favored: evidence: A scroll]

ie, we can’t say Police’s L hand is favored over R hand, b/c both are affirmed:

  • L hand is affirmed by being against open scroll that’s touching God’s cloud.
  • R hand is affirmed by holding an open scroll that’s touching non-branching branch of tree that’s touching cloud of Sun Light.

Police looks at top of Sun Light, as if looking above the folio image.

Sleep guy: HOLDS Holds beard (enlightenment/ wisdom); = holding the open scroll.
Problem: Not holding the end of the open scroll.
Solution: His L hand shows thumb and fingers holding beard, = holding the end of the scroll.

Inventory of Trees

Left YI Tree

circular leaves

cut left trunk

no cut right trunk

sun light is not only touching non-branching R branch; it’s also touching the R branch of the Y on the L.

all 3 leaves touch sun light cloud; affirm Y & I; affirm possibilism-thinking & eternalism-thinking & contrast (= integrate + differentiate) between possibilism & eternalism

That’s per the 2POV philosophy.

The two different points of view, two different mental models

(against the “Get rid of possibilism, it’s bad” error, bad like Popular Neo-Advaita’s insanity, “get rid of the self”).

{cut left trunk} is equivalent to non-branching branch on right

{cut left trunk} is on the lower level

(always interp the branching morphy of a mushroom-tree starting at bottom upward)

Right YI Tree

trident leaves

{cut right trunk} & {cut left trunk}

only 1 of 3 branches touches the moon cloud: the leftmost, = max branching.

Compare the {cut right trunk} & {cut left trunk}
with
mushroom-tree’s 2 pairs of same.

Mushroom-Tree

midway up: {cut right branch} & {cut left branch}
near-bottom: {cut right trunk} & {cut left trunk}
very bottom: {cut right trunk} & {cut left trunk}

Two visually cut branches.

Bottom has 4 cut trunks, matching a hand’s 4 fingers w/ fingertips hidden.

Guy has form of lifted garment, John Rush calls “celestial erection” motif.

Inventory of Books

Closed Book on Upper Level

No hands.

Open Book on Upper Level

1 hand, YI, {thumb against open book}, fingers are not against open book but touch multiple pages.

1 hand behind it, not shown.

Closed Book on Lower Level

L hand, hidden, holds book and forms lifted garment motif.

Image has {mushroom hem} motif ~20x; ~10 guys have it.

The hook demon does The Kneel stance, R leg forward.

Open Book on Lower Level

R hand no thumb, only fingers.

L hand YI thumb & fingers, {thumb against open book}.

{thumb} maps to “non-branching” via __ (mushroom-tree)

{thumb} maps to “rescue from control instability” via __ (demon hook touch R leg…) .

Notes Written on Baier p. 367, Bottom

{beard} = YI hand (shows fingers & thumb) of sleep under moon w/ closed eyes = branching (Y) (no thumb) … by branching tree = moon.

Vertical Notes on Baier p. 367 (Left Margin)

Middle vertical notes on p 367, written last:

Upper right: brings togeher:

  • moon
  • asleep
  • closed eyes / not seeing
  • Y-fingers
  • branching on L part of black key tree.

Sleeping guy joins 2 motifs: [closed eyes / not seeing = Y fingers = branching thinking​].

enlightenment (light, sun) = revealed non-branching thumb vs. branching fingers. Favor thumb, and favor [Y vs. I]; ie:

  • favor thumb over fingers, of a hand
  • favor hand showing Y-vs-I, over a hand showing just fingers.

I really want to see which other folio I was struggling to interp before (couple weeks ago), re: the “only showing one of his two thumbs” motif. I was struggling w/ Handedness, in that other folio:

“the thumb moves from L hand on this guy, to R hand on that guy, so is thumb = good = Right??

Ans: I doubt specifically handedness is utilized there; I doubt the meaning utilizes L vs R.

The meaning is just, “inferior hand shows fingers; superior, other hand shows THUMB AS WELL AS FINGERS, regardless of whether L or R.
10:36 a.m. January 19, 2026

This nuance (that when you get non-branching, you retain branching thinking​) conveyed by Eadwine f107 corroborates my April/Aug 2025 2POV breakthrough, like the two images that breakthrough was based on:

  • Dionysus + Ariadne mosaic, victory procession wedding chariot. Incl 5 {mushroom hem} + Amanita leopard fountain, and mushroom-shaped bunches of grapes.
  • Rebis holding a Y.

mental model transformation from branching thinking​ to non-branching thinking​ .

You don’t go from fingers to thumb; you go from fingers to [thumb as well as fingers], favoring thumb but still having fingers. “embrace and include” fingers (branching thinking​; egoic thinking; possibilism-thinking) per Ken Wilber.

Contrast fingers and thumb, and favor thumb – but honor fingers, if thumb is present, complementing.

Jesus holds cross staff with fingers working together with thumb.

When you hear “eternalism-thinking”, or abbr as simply “eternalism”, it does not mean get rid of possibilism-thinking; rather, think:
integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking; qualified possibilism-thinking + eternalism-thinking;

“eternalism” is shorthand for:
integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking;
qualified possibilism-thinking + eternalism-thinking

from possibilism to eternalism

from possibilism to possibilism + eternalism

from fingers to fingers + thumb

mental model transformation from:
possibilism
to:
possibilism + eternalism

eternalism is revealed, open book; thumb against open book, 2x

from possibilism to integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking

Hierarchy of Inferior Mysticism and Superior Mysticism

The best model of mystical experience is the Egodeath theory; eternalism-driven control-transformation.

The worst model of mystical experience is reducing narrowing mystical experience to nothing other than positive unitive experience.

They say introvertive mysticism is higher mysticism
extrovertive mysticism is lower mysticism

ackshually,

eternalism-driven control-transformation is higher mysticism
unitive mysticism is lower mysticism

L tree has L cut trunk; cut trunk signals “non-branching is important”

same role as pink key tree in f134

The black key tree reinforces/ confirms/ establishes interp of the mushroom-tree below it: note that a cut branch touches his elbow/arm / left limb, which hand shows IY, thumb against heart,

1st-order, simp’d crude model: imprecise:

As a memento of the blood/toil, flaws in R white box remain. I patched the white bar midway up the {hand mushroom-tree}.

FAILED to Perceive 4 Cut Trunks, was still mystified puzzling over them

Eadwine got me. Too dumb to pattern-match despite clearly trying. I tried, I failed. Welcome to this puzzle-genre, or encoding-to-communicate and teach, genre.

The first-time fails I keep falling into, demonstrates in detail what’s involved in the decoding project. It’s not trivially easy.

Error: if draw box around upper part of mushroom-tree, must include in that box, the 4 cut trunks (= lower hand of tree).
1:55 p.m. January 19, 2026
I hadn’t yet figured out the mapping of 4 trunks ~= 4 fingers of lower hand.

Hand showing fingers and also thumb is favored over hand showing only fingers but no thumb.

Thumb is favored over fingers, on the YI hand (ie showing thumb and fingers).

Decoded motif: {pair of hands, one hand showing fingers, the other hand showing fingers and thumb}

11:10 p.m. January 18, 2026

The message of the {pair of hands, one hand showing fingers, the other hand showing fingers and thumb} is:

You start with branching thinking​ (possibilism-thinking), [fingers, no thumb]
you end up with integrated branching thinking​ and non-branching thinking​; integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking. [fingers and thumb]

todo: re-analyze my other top images, with hand shape, re: pairs of hands; both of a person’s hands:

Which other Canterbury folio(s) did I see that shows often, something like:
one hand w/ fingers, other hand with fingers and thumb? It seemed to switch around a lot, which hand showed thumb.

Thumb = non-branching = eternalism-thinking
Fingers = branching = possibilism-thinking

Emphasis is on non-branching thumb. Branching fingers only on one hand (possibilism); fingers and non-branching thumb on other hand (thumb = eternalism).

mushroom-tree:
IY branching morphology of hand touches cut tree branch on L, branching of tree on R.

upper trees: both are YI, yet have cut left trunk forming at bottom level, IY.

Mushroom-tree bottom emph. cut trunk 4x.

Ossuary guy has no left leg or left arm – cut. Hook touches left missing leg.

Jesus non branching right big toe on ossuary; left toes = branching, on unstable ground. Angel behind has similar toes, right foot on boundary, left foot on lower level head of sage who is aware of being stood on.

Thumb Against Open Scroll or Open Book 3x

  • Police officer’s thumb against open scroll of God’s cloud.
  • Angel’s thumb against open book.
  • Sage’s thumb against open book.
  • Lower right: thumb against open scroll 2x.

11 p.m. January 17, 2026 — Dancing Man: Three Branching fingers touch L side of forehead/mind; index finger, alone, touches R side of forehead/mind. This is discussed in voice recording DR-O5B-2814.wav, p.m. January 17, 2026, where I talk through much of f107, and switch out to Dancing Man to analyze f107 row 1 R: Sleeping Sage, who has L hand showing fingers & thumb, R hand at forehead showing fingers, no thumb.

  • Branching fingers (pinkie, middle, ring) = L side of forehead
  • Non-branching index finger = R side of forehead

https://egodeaththeory.org/2023/03/12/4-horses-mushroom-tree-right-foot-balancing-great-canterbury-psalter-f177/

To help decode important themes in f177:

  • Held up by right hand by Christ pointed by hand of God in 107 = held up (above ossuary) by right arm by right hand of God in 177.
  • Left-foot rams in furnace (f177) = hellmouth fire pit (f107).
  • Ossuary in 107 = ossuary in 177
