The Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism & Mytheme Analogy

The Egodeath theory is the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism & Mytheme Analogy.

The Marketing brand name of this brand of Transcendent Knowledge: the Egodeath theory.

Compare the names of the two theory-halves within so-called “relativity” theory:

  • the theory of Relativity (Petkov: yuck, no!)
  • special relativity (Petkov: yuck, no!)
  • Ein. 1907: “Minkowski math is TOO HARD! 😭”
  • Ein. 1908: “Minkowski math is CRUCIAL for gen rel”
  • 1908: Minkowski dies (bad strategy to become famous).
  • general relativity (Petkov: yuck, no!)

By my stds for theory-naming, these are poor names like my poor name “the Core theory”, non-descriptive

  • Describing my 1997 theory as Core is a vague, low-value descriptor (even if phase-by-year-cutoff is seemingly clean and useful (fact: i
  • In 1997, though i PUBLISHED strictly the core theory spec, I also knew a lot about esotericism analogy eg Rock Lyrics mapping to psychedelic eternalism; eg I was reading all issues of
  • Smoley’s Gnosis journalzine (probably no coverage there of mystery religions).
  • No Newage bookstore has any mystery religion books.
  • The Theosophy bookshop hasn’t any mystery-religion books.
  • Describing my 1997 as the Psychedelic Eternalism theory is high-value descriptors.

The theory of Relativity (Petkov hates this and retitled his book to avoid “relative” and advocate “absolute four-dimensional spacetime​”; ABSOLUTE is a rebuttal to RELATIVITY.

As I observed and experienced in the university Modern Physics course, Minkowski is badass and knew that Block-Universe Mysticism is total mind blowing revolutionary.

I Am a Follower of Minkowski, Not a Follower of Einstein

(or Allegro)

Einstein DID NOT inspire me in Jan. 1988. Minkowski inspired me in Jan. 1988. the Egodeath theory does not thank Einstein.

The Egodeath theory thanks Minkowski, in accordance with Petkov’s Intro chapter in Minkowski’s Block Universe: Spacetime: Minkowski’s Papers on Spacetime Physics (Petkov, 2021).

Resolved: Notation Goes in “Technical-type Language”

Assessed/decided:

I had:

  • tech
  • everyday
  • analogy
  • [oddball: notation]

Solution:

  • Does Notation fit in Everyday Lang? No.

  • Does Notation fit in Analogy Lang? Maybe.
    Define “analogy”. broad flexible – can it not include notation? Science uses analogy always and notation always, separating is unreal.

  • Does Notation fit in Technical Lang? Yes.

If the 3 buckets are everyday, analogy, & technical, CLEARLY notation fits well as a special thing within Technical Lang.

branching vs. non-branching fits all 3.

The Nesting Problem: The Core Half of the Theory Has Same Name as the Entire Theory (a Natural Shared Emphasis)

  • the theory of psychedelic eternalism
    ambig.
    This term 2/3 connotes the entire Egodeath theory.
    This term 1/3 connotes just the core half of the Egodeath theory.
  • the theory of mytheme analogy

Simple formatting to show the nesting problem:

the Psychedelic Eternalism theory[broad sense] includes two component theories:
…… the Psychedelic Eternalism theory[narrow sense] – poor at communicating.
…… the Mytheme Analogy theory – good at communicating.

The entire Egodeath theory (“the theory of psychedelic eternalism”) mainly means just one, privileged half: the core half: ie, the theory of psychedelic eternalism, ie, “the Psychedelic Eternalism theory”.

The Mytheme theory brings a LOT of knowledge too; the Core ain’t worth much, without the P R Marketing Communication that’s acccomplished by the Mytheme Analogy theory, as seen so well in 2007 main article interweaving direct terms with analogies from myth:

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 is the nesting problem. Naturally, the total entire overall Egodeath theory MOSTLY means the Core theory, which call “the theory of psychedelic eternalism” or “the Psychedelic Eternalism theory”.

The broad term “the theory of psychedelic eternalism” also means / includes the other half: the Mytheme Analogy theory.

The broad term “the Psychedelic Eternalism theory” also means/ includes the other half: “the Mytheme Analogy theory”.

Notes

A myth is an analogy.
Thus the order: Mytheme Analogy, not Analogy Mytheme.

“Analogy Mytheme” reads nonsensically.
“Mytheme Analogy” reads sensibly, b/c a myth is an analogy.

Try Switching from “Analogy Mytheme” to “Mytheme Analogy”

The Name Nesting Problem

It kind of makes sense (even if awkward) that the name of the overall theory is same as the name of the Core theory: “psychedelic eternalism”.

The complete Egodeath theory, which is the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism, consists of two sub-theories:

  • the Psychedelic Eternalism theory
  • the Analogy Mytheme theory

The Egodeath theory includes the Psychedelic Eternalism theory & the Analogy Mytheme theory.

Repeat that, now using 1-word terms:

The complete Egodeath theory, which is the Theory of Eternalism, consists of two sub-theories:

IS THERE a good 1-word name for the core theory and the myth theory? resort to bad word “cybernetic”?

notice the last part says that the entire Egodeath theory = psychedelic eternalism.

but i’m now saying half the Egodeath theory is psychedelic eternalism,
the other half of the Egodeath theory is analogy mytheme.

Hierarchy of Theory Components Names

the Egodeath theory of psychedelic eternalism , contains:

  • the Psychedelic Eternalism theory
  • the Analogy Mytheme theory

awk, often need 1-word names of the two halves of the Egodeath theory:

  • the Eternalism theory
    eternalism-thinking ego transcendence cybernetic eternalism
  • the cybernetic eternalism theory

I like these 1-word theory-half names:

  • the Eternalism theory
    et
  • the Mytheme theory
    mt – good, already def’d

todo: define keyboard shortcuts for those 2.

eternalism-thinking
et – current def.
e t h – new def.

possibilism-thinking
pt
pth – defined now

eternalism-thinking

now do pair:

  • possibilism-thinking [PTH]
  • eternalism-thinking [ETH]

that frees up the new pair of keyboard shortcuts/ acros:

  • the Eternalism theory
    [ET]
    = the Core theory 1988/1997 + the 2000/2025, 3-level correction.
  • the Mytheme theory
    [MT]
  • the Eternalism theory
  • the Mytheme theory

New Name for the Egodeath Core Theory: the Psychedelic Eternalism theory (Excludes Analogy/ Mythemes)

I often said, the past 2 years:
the Egodeath theory is the theory of psychedelic eternalism
I didn’t dwell, there, on whether Analogy/Myth is included

Analogy/Myth is included in the theory of psychedelic eternalism, as a separate add-on.

Analogy/Myth is included in the Psychedelic Eternalism theory, as a separate add-on

Analogy Mytheme theory is NOT in the core of the Psychedelic Eternalism theory.

the Psychedelic Eternalism theory VERSUS the add-on, [which caused a maturing of the Core]

The Added-on, Mytheme Analogy Theory Forced Improvement of the Core Theory

The Analogy Mytheme theory forced correction of the psychedelic eternalism theory

not loving thse new keyboard shortcuts, two

do better parallelism of these 2 keyboard shortcuts

  • the Psychedelic Eternalism theory
    tpet – curr def’d
  • the Analogy Mytheme theory
    tamt – added.
    amt

test of [TPET] & [TAMT]:

the Psychedelic Eternalism theory

the Analogy Mytheme theory

  • the Psychedelic Eternalism theory (“the Core theory”)
  • the Analogy Mytheme theory (“the Mytheme theory)

That’s a better set of 2 keyboard shortcuts. Parallel now, even though longer acro.

The phrase “the Core theory” omits the important, load-carrying words ‘psychedelic eternalism’.

The phrase “the Mytheme theory” omits the important, load-carrying explanatory word ‘analogy’.

Myth is analogy.

Mythic art motifs are analogies describing control transformation etc.

The mere add-on, analogy mytheme, the Analogy Mytheme theory, caused revision of the Egodeath Core theory: the core theory had to stop the “from possibilism to eternalism; get rid of possibilism-thinking ” huge long-lasting error like 1994-2025. Even after Coraxo corrected me from 2- to 3-level to “transcend fate”, I waited to 2025 to stop in any way disparaging possibilism-thinking.

Precedent: I’ve already characterized the entire Egodeath theory (but mainly the Core) as “psychedelic eternalism” theory.

i wrote like:

When i wrote that, i was thinking, of myth/analogy as an outer layer of that, a distinct outer layer, tacked-on as a sep. thing.

  • the Egodeath Core theory is the Psychedelic Eternalism theory
  • the Egodeath Mytheme theory is the Analogy Mytheme theory

the price to pay for the marketing word “Egodeath” — doesn’t carry much load of descritpive meaning. or explayanatory meaning.

eras:

1985[start], 1988 [core theory born]-1997 [core theory outlined], plus in 2000 & 2025 the 3-phase correction (integrated possibilism/eternalism).

for History purpose, “core” works great. BUT, for content-description purpose, “core” says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Abandon, move away from history focus; it’s confusing, vague, a lost opport, and there are BETTER WORDS WATING WAITING TO COMPETE & DEMONSTRATE THEIR SUPERIOR LOAD-CARRYING STRENGTH.

i often lately say the Egodeath theory = the theory of psychedelic eternalism – when i say that, i’m thinking of mytheme analogies too.

define:

The Egodeath Core theory (1988/1997) is psychedelic eternalism without analogy/ myth/ mythic art.

(Core had some adjustments, really 1 adjustment w/ 2 examples:

  • 2000: Coraxo corrected my core theory:
    Classical Antiquity = 2-level change from possibilism to eternalism [handled by my 1997 core theory outline; BUT:
    Late Antiquity = 3-level: from basic possibilism, to basic eternalism; to integrated possibilism/eternalism (= “transcend no-free-will/ heimarmene“).
  • 2025/04: 2POV; marry don’t kill branching thinking​.

The 2000 correction and the 2025 correction BOTH are the same fix of same flaw: in both cases, I tried to do a binary toggle, from possibilism to eternalism as if exclusive and not summed/ cumulative.

The mind is actually cumulative:

Adding Eternalism causes qualifying of Possibilism – NOT “getting rid of” Possibilism!

  • End up with not just eternalism (I shape).
  • End up not just same possibilism now w/ eternalism added (YI shape).
  • End up actually with eternalism added and with possibilism QUALIFIED
    (Y’I shape).

The Two Halves of the Egodeath theory Mutually Corroborate and Confirm Each Other (“It’s Circular! 😭” )

Sharday Mosurinjohn is wrong if she attributes (she’s so briffilaint, attachking their motivations, presentsed as her big-brain much-needed analysis that is SO helpful to the field of entheogen scholarship

She claims that the bunk motives are to try to find psychedelics in Western religious history in order to bolster brand new NRMs by FANTASIZING psychedelics in Western religious history, which this PUNK Shardog in 7th grade GIRLISH namecalling fashion, SMEARS Rogan/ Ruck/ Muraresku as “colonialist violence” and “religious fundamentalism”.

Rude AF Newcomer Shardog 🤬🖕🐶 Mosurinjohn, Enters the Field We Created, Fists Randomly Swinging – and a Train of Morons Following Behind Her

Meanwhile, HYPOCRITE Shardog proceeds to write HER book asserting psychedelics in Western religious history.

SOMEHOW SHE IS EXEMPT from her CHEAP and anti-shcolarly, punk namecalling.

The most opposite of academic scholarship is found and is genereated from within the field of entheogen scholarship.

How did these CHURLISH, CRUDE anything-but-drugs academics get into the door? Rude! Stupid, wrong, faceplant is the result.

Will she retract her IGNORANT BILE? Did she read the 7 most important documents in the field?

Intro

NOT that:

  • Dionysus = the Mytheme theory
  • Ariadne = the Cybernetic theory (Core theory)

Rather, the image is proof of Myth forcing me to revise Core theory.

Two instances where Myth (my work developing the Mytheme theory) caused me to revise the Core theory:

In 2000, Myth (Gnosticism) Revised the Core Theory: 2-Phase vs. 3-Phase Models of Psychedelic Transformation

2000

in Gnosticism Yahoo Group, Coraxo found error in my simple 2-phase model, “desire to end up w/ Fate/ eternalism”.

That’s true of Classical Antiquity but false of Late Antiquity.

Thanks Cyberdisciple for help on the periodization name-pair, “Classical Antiquity vs. Late Antiquity”.

  • Classical Antiquity = 2-phase: mental model transformation from possibilism to eternalism.
  • Late Antiquity = 3-phase: transcend heimarmene, ie do sequence: possibilism-thinking; then eternalism-thinking; then integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking. Y, then I, then YI. Lower hand: Y-then-I; upper hand of a medieval hand-pair: YI, or Y’I. per von Trimberg scanned bottom to top, by the Manesse Codex artist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Manesse –

Late Antiquity moved to a 3-phase model: possibilism-thinking; eternalism-thinking; integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking =

integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking = “transcend heimarmene”.

In 2025, Myth Revised the Core Theory: Embrace and Include Possibilism-Thinking; Marry the 2POV Like Dionysus Weds Ariadne

2025 – Stop disparaging possibilism-thinking!

I keep being shown by the gods, by the muses, by Saraswati, that the mind ALWAYS includes using possibilism-thinking , but, now have a higher vantage point in altered-state, to SEE the possibilism-thinking (Isaac) going on.

Do not “get rid of” Isaac; qualify him.

Then my church founder Aug 2025 gave sermon on Alan Moore block-universe eternalism comic book novels, which pushed me over hump to finish my church Reader article

Though bizarrely I have to add “block” (somehow missing?!)

Now with that article, finally I have presented a BALANCED HARMONIZED view.

You shoulda been there when I told Debunker Rick that I am harmonizing branching multiverse physics with Minkowski absolute four-dimensional spacetime​ / “relativity”.

Rick misread momentarily me and thought I was advocating branching Quantum Mysticism against non-branching Block-Universe Mysticism.

He showed me internet research which 100%, more than expected, corrob’d

  • my hatred for branching Quantum Mysticism since 1988, &
  • my 1997/2001 first posts at Egodeath Yahoo Group talking about stupid branching vs smart non-branching IN PHYSICS (but failed yet to connect branching vs. non-branching IN MYTH/ mythic art: that started w/ snake then tree around 2002-2004).

The Dionysus and Ariadne victory wedding procession mosaic, provided by the Egodeath community ~2005, made me revise my 1988-1997 Core Cybernetic theory in 2025, to stop my long-standing since 1995 mistaken expectation of “get rid of possibilism-thinking”.

Per emails with wrmspirit in April 2025. To solve big problem, How am I going to sell “no-free-will” to my church?

Ans: Do not get rid of freewill thinking. egoic freewill thinking (albeit qualified) is standard for the possibilism state of consciousness and is used 24 x 7 x 365 even during peak state of loose cognition.

Possessed by My Patron God Dionysus in 1987

Besides Michael the Archangel, my patron god is Dionysus b/c in Fall 1986-Spring 1987 dorm room of awesomeness, I felt as if possessed by eg Dionysus.

Notes about the Need to redo keyboard shortcuts

Fallback: verbose/clumsy articulate phrases for the Egodeath Core theory (defined by Feb. 1997 outline) vs. the Egodeath Mytheme theory (well-articulated in Sep. 2007 main article, but, lacking: YI/ handedness/ branching vs. non-branching).

When did “the Mytheme theory portion of the Egodeath theory; analogies for eternalism-driven control-transformation” become mature?

I still need my personally meaningful phrases:

  • the Core theory
  • the Mytheme theory

or maybe:

  • the Egodeath Core theory
    the Egodeath Core theory of cybernetic psychedelic eternalism; eternalism-driven control-transformation
  • the Egodeath Mytheme theory

Notes re: short terms the Cybernetic theory / the Mytheme theory

= phase 1 1985-1997 = the Core theory of the Egodeath theory

The CORE did change due to mytheme research: eg in mid 2025, when I stopped “get rid of possibilism-thinking”, and changed to integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking. two different points of view, two different mental models = 2POV.

Harmonizing/integration of possibilism & eternalism thinking

Affirming YI (two states = two models).

The mind learns and retains the 24 x 7 x 365 use of both ordinary-state possibilism & altered-state eternalism, conjoined in one mind.

The completed initiated mind ends up with two different states (experiential modes) & world models of time, possibility, & control.

This means you can shake fist at God and confidently enter high dose.

NO.

Learn the fear of God, profound implic that God can make you do anything as God is making ppl want all kinds of terrible things.

This is the psychotomimetic revelation: the more inspired your thinking, the more unstable and vulnerable. Why did the mushroom-tree religion decline in 1300?

Why does Manesse ditch {mushroom} motif and go nuts with the {YI hand shape} motif instead?

b/c mushroom revelation is: full enlightenment = full unstable vulnerability.

That’s not my final idea; it’s tentative/recent. Past 4 months. Now Feb. 10, 2026.

The “Mytheme” Conception in Strauss’ Structuralism Is Inferior to the Mytheme Theory within the Egodeath theory

My Mytheme theory: I do NOT mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mytheme

My usage fits ok w/ that, but, just as several writers have their own brand of “mytheme theory”, i mean, the EGODEATH THEORY’s version of the Mytheme theory, NOT Strauss’s network of meanings.

Even stupid ideas like “Secret Christian Amanita Cult” would be ok concept if done right, per the Egodeath theory.

Blame for that stupid Pop idea of “Secret Christian Amanita Cult” originates with Wasson/ Allegro/ Ruck.

Weed out this god-forsaken stupid fkking idea, “Secret Christian Amanita Cult”, from infesting the field of entheogen scholarship.

social drama narrative wags entheogen scholarship dog

“The big bad church got rid of entheogens, as proved by all the entheogen mushroom imagery in Christian art”.

I give Ruck yet more evidence of mushroom imagery in Christian art BUT he responds as always:

Thank you for yet more evidence of mushrooms in HERETICAL Christianity.

thus Ruck NEUTRALIZES the evidence at the same time as delivering it.

Ruck shows that the mushrooms in mushroom imagery in Christian art DOESN’T COUNT, because it was “HERETICAL” and “Suppressed”; it’s merely an ALIEN INFILTRATION into the very heart of Christianity.

By Ruck’s perverse attitude and framing: (the minimal/moderate entheogen theory of religion)

keyboard shortcut

the minimal/moderate entheogen theory of religion
below is better:

the Moderate (= Minimal) entheogen theory of religion
mmetr

Ruck’s Perverse, defeatist, Prohibition-compliant, social drama narrative Constructs the Moderate (= Minimal) entheogen theory of religion

Shardog Mosurinjohn gets it all wrong. “entheogen scholars try to validate their NRM via hallucinated history doggedly pursued in vain”

No, Ruck does NOT have that motive. Ruck’s mission (following Allegro) is to defame Christianity, through abusing the field of entheogen scholarship: convert each mushroom imagery in Christian art into “Christianity sucks because it got rid of this mushroom imagery in Christian art”

Ruck OUGHT to say, with maximal entheogen theory of religion:

“Christianity is cool, b/c it contains all this mushroom imagery in Christian art.” Like 2nd-generation entheogen scholarship (the Explicit Psilocybin paradigm) (

  • Samorini
  • Ruck – momentary half-right attitude in Conjuring Eden: Art and the Entheogenic Vision of Paradise
  • Michael Hoffman,
  • Jerry Brown.

Ruck – momentary Ruck sometimes in Conjuring Eden: Art and the Entheogenic Vision of Paradise

But then in Apples of Apollo book, they reverted back to the main narrative: suppression & titillation, Amanita is the engine of all Mystery Religions

At which point in 2002/2003 I posted F this S, I part with this LAME trajectory, I take the [2016 Brown] approach:

The maximal entheogen theory of religion.

The copious mushroom imagery in Christian art does NOT “neutralize” mushroom imagery within Christianity; it BOLSTERS it.

See John Rush’s intense contradiction on back of book cover. I color-hilited his contradictions, at this site. Conflict of interest within 1st-generation entheogen scholarship (the Secret Amanita paradigm) causes the misguided, 1st-gen entheogen scholars to not want to find “TOO MUCH mushroom imagery” in Christian art in Great Canterbury Psalter.

Allegro-Ruck-Rush Fears Finding “Too Many Mushrooms” in Christian art

Allegro-Ruck-Rush has a restrictive conflict of interest, because for him, holding up the social drama narrative takes precedence (wrong priorities mixed up) over the presence of mushroom imagery in Christian art.

Ruck BOTH wants to find mushroom imagery in Christian art, AND, BUT, intensely desires what Andy Letcher mocks on p. 35 of Shroom:

“Various writers have suggested cult, secretly, oppression, hidden, secret cult, surreptitiously slipped in”

Ruck: “Thank you for yet more evidence of mushroom imagery in HERETICAL Christian art, proving that Christianity 100% eliminated mushrooms”

The Allegro-Ruck Foregrounding of their social drama narrative wags the entheogen scholarship dog, causing blindness to evidence and failure to perceive the mushroom-tree religion within MAINSTREAM Christianity

See end of Brown 2016 book & 2019 article, emph’g Mainstream Christianity having mushrooms – and trashcanning the Allegro/Ruck 1st-generation entheogen scholarship (the Secret Amanita paradigm).

The fact that mushroom heresy penetrated into the heart of Christianity, shows the total removal and compelte absense of mushrooms from mainstream normal proper actual Christianity.

Over-emph on conjectured social drama narrative prevents recognizing add’l mushroom imagery.

The Egodeath theory’s equiv of social drama narrative: the artists initiation guild w/ psilocybin lockbox teaching {mushroom}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs.

the “Secret Christian Amanita Cult” idea, including “the big bad church got rid of entheogens, as proved by all the entheogen mushroom imagery in Christian art”) social drama narrative, is poison ergot contaminating the field of entheogen scholarship.

THE PROBLEM OF ALIEN LEXICON, “MYTHEME”. Myth theme. Tainted, LOADED with HIS network of meanings not MINE.

Structuralism is stupid. If done wrong.

Their Alien Lexicon Would Be OK If Done the Right Way

I DO STRUCTURALISM THE CORRECT WAY.

I DO MYTHEME THEORY THE CORRECT WAY.

I DO COMMON-CORE MYSTICISM AND PERENNIALISM THE CORRECT WAY.

I DO MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE THE CORRECT WAY.

I DO EGO DISSOLUTION THE CORRECT WAY.

I DO DMN THE CORRECT WAY.

I DO RELIGIOUS MYTH INTERP THE CORRECT WAY.

Wiki Crazy Person Said “Ego death” is not a proper encylopedia entry, should be [stupid term everyone rejected] – but Canterbury Says {death} Is the Right Motif

The person used the phrase “ego dissolution” way back in 2005?

Great Canterbury Psalter Vindicates the Ego “Death” Ossuary Motif Analogy.

“Ego death” is too colloquial and debatable and arbitrary – says 1 of 100 ppl, against the other 99 ppl.

Great Canterbury Psalter says u r full of it. Great Canterbury Psalter is packed with the “psilocybin = ego DEATH” motif. eg

  • {rock ossuary} motif.
  • Threatened by blades of DEATH.
  • Lifted up from passive DEAD state.
  • Resurrected from a DEATH state.

Proving us 99% of wikipedians correct, against the fool who pooh-poohed the term “ego death”.

I can provide wiki url where some fool tried to nuke the wiki title “Ego death” – did he try to rename the article to “Ego dissolution” way back in 2005?

AI Accidental Query: “define Core Theory vs. Mytheme Theory”

“define Core Theory vs. Mytheme Theory”

AI ans:

“Mytheme Theory (specifically structuralist) and various “core” approaches to myth analysis (like functionalism or archetypal analysis) differ primarily in their focus on structure vs. content, and universal cognitive patterns vs. universal social functions. 

Mytheme Theory (developed by Claude Lévi-Strauss) treats myths as language, breaking them down into minimal, irreducible units of meaning (mythemes) that are organized into binary oppositions to reveal universal structures of human thought. 

Core Theories (often referring to functionalism, archetype, or thematic analysis) focus on identifying the “core” message, social purpose, or recurring, universal motifs that satisfy human psychological or social needs.”
