Peer Review Feedback from Cyberdisciple

This page only shows the feedback I didn’t incorporate or note in the article.

Is the top row indeed more transcendent than the lower rows? Why do you call them ‘mundane’ ? I wonder if they too will yield to the theory of mythemes, if only we apply the method to them. There are no mushroom trees, but the guy stabbing himself in the bottom left has that distinctive floating folded robe. But of course that can’t refer to a mushroom at all; neither can that jar near the center of the bottom row that reminds me a bit of the bowl in the Dionysus mosaic.

This builds on your identification of the column as the barrier between tight cog and loose cog. I was looking at the lower rows of the image, when the thought occurred to me to look for symmetries between the right and the left sides of each row.

The top row has god in the center, the two groups on the far left (wise men)[or, agnostically/neutrally, “onlookers/audience” -m] and the far right (banqueters), and then the two branching scenes on the near left and the near right.

The middle row has three scenes: two large group scenes around a middle scene of the guy with the hat sitting with a book on a stand.

The bottom row has four scenes: the two single figures near the border on each side and the two scenes of farming around a central column.

Additionally I’m certainly not thinking that the scythes have anything to do with the harvest mytheme you identified recently. That would be unreasonable. Just like the scroll stretching down from God’s cloud to the right hand of the guy sitting on the chair in the center couldn’t possibly be analogy for the mushroom “scroll” that connects the eater/reader to the control source.

/ end of Peer Review Feedback from Cyberdisciple

After I glanced at row 2 & 3 for the 3rd time (1 minute total), I agree with Cyberdisciple, {scythes/blades} in rows 2 & 3 refers to my recent 2 “ego harvest” 2 articles. A key thought in decoding it today was “unsheathing your sword”, then I noticed that his unsheathing-the-sword is exactly underneath, and parallel to, God’s sword. — Cybermonk 1:41 p.m. November 19, 2020

Proof of Psilocybe in Christian Art

A Proof Based on Depictions of Analogies Describing Ultimate Mushroom Effects, not on Depictions of the Mushrooms Themselves

This article proves that in the Canterbury Psalter, the 3-cap mushroom tree with a man hanging from it by one leg, above a sword, is Psilocybe.

This article is a complete decoding and commentary on this illuminated manuscript image from the Canterbury Psalter which contains a 3-cap Psilocybe mushroom tree, with the right-hand branch cut off.

This proof is based on identifying descriptions of the highest effects from Psilocybe; this proof is not based on the physical attributes of the mushroom tree literally matching the surface form of Psilocybe.

The analysis method laid out in this article proves that Christianity has always been based on Psilocybe mushrooms; there must be full repeal of Psilocybe Prohibition.

The message that is transmitted, communicated, and conveyed by this mushroom tree, by the entire top row of the image, and by the entire image, is the loftiest possible message:

How to have stable self-control during the intense mystic altered state from mushrooms, by gaining a transformed, durable model of time, possibility, and control.

This complete, most-lofty analysis absolutely proves that the entire image represents and describes peak Psilocybe-induced experiencing and how to endure and accommodate it, and that the mushroom tree in this image is undoubtably Psilocybe.

The Entire Image Is a Cybernetic Control-Seizure Mechanism that Only Works if Mushroom-Powered

The mushroom tree is depicted within the flow of this image, in such a way as to make the image serve as a system, a transcendent communication and message, a device; a labyrinth mechanism which pulls-in and pulls upward the mind’s self-control system.

The image is a message from on high, from the altered-state mode of God-aware loose cognition, that draws the mind into self-testing, and leads the mind toward its mature potential for controlled cybernetic control-seizure of self-transcendence.

Following and tracing the message that is communicated in this religious image, inexorably culminates in the sacrificial self-cancellation of the mind’s incoherent, childhood-suited illusion about personal control power that’s based on a naive, incoherent branching-possibilities model of time and control, premised on confused, irrational thinking.

The mind’s initial, childhood-suited thinking is based on the premise of having and wielding the power of control to steer within a tree of branching possibilities; freewill-premised thinking within a presumed branching model of time and possibility.

This image incorporates the mushroom tree in a very specific, particular way, together with God’s sword of self-control death; {God} referring to the hidden, uncontrollable source of the mind’s control-thoughts.

The mushroom tree with the sword, sets up the sword as a stability condition; conditional stability; personal control in the mushroom-induced altered state is stable and viable if the mind contains and relies on the requisite model of time and control: the non-branching model, per Eternalism.

The sword in this image is packaged together with the mushroom tree, along with the {left limb} versus {right limb} contrast that is mapped to {branching} vs. {non-branching} thinking.

The sword and the “branching vs. non-branching” condition that are presented in this image are packaged together with the mushroom tree that’s of interest, forming a message-encoding that is corroborated by the explicit form of the pink key-tree.

The pink key-tree explicitly indicates that viable stability of personal control in the mushroom-induced altered state conditionally depends on which model of time, possibility, and control the mind uses: branching (not viable; perishable) or non-branching (viable and durable).

Simply Move Aside the Cover-up, to Reveal the Blatantly Obvious, Now Bolstered with Comprehension of Mythic Imagery

Mushrooms in art are obvious, especially now that such images are bolstered by comprehension of the patterns of mental transformation which are depicted by mushroom images together with other mythic imagery. Mythic images use analogies to describe such transformative altered-state experiencing.

This proof presented in this article shows that there has been, in effect, something like a cover-up, to make the entire world of religious scholars blind to the blatant, explicit, obvious, more-or-less literal presence of mushroom depictions all throughout Greek and Christian art.

We merely need to ignore the cries of objection from the Brinckmann/ Panofsky/ Wasson camp, those on the outside, to remove and simply move aside the cover-up and then we can easily, plainly, readily recognize that mushroom trees, and mushroom thickets, and branching and non-branching mushroom shapes and forms in Christian art, of course represent psychoactive mushrooms. Why would anyone have thought otherwise?

The brilliant, genius conclusion that in religious, mystical, mythical art, images of mushrooms represent mushrooms (shocking; who would’ve thought!), is obvious when we consider the matter sensibly from the perspective of mythemes that describe by analogies, the mind’s high potential to test itself and transform its mental model.

The mind’s built-in potential to test and challenge and probe its power over its own self-control-thoughts while in the loose cognitive state, produces regeneration into the adult form of thinking.

The adult form of thinking is characterized by non-branching possibilities per the Eternalism model of time and control, as asserted by the pink key-tree and {left & right limb usage or non-usage} when the mind’s control-system is placed precariously above the sword of God which is attached to this mushroom tree.

The adult form of thinking is conformant with the loose cognitive association state that is produced by ingesting psychoactive mushrooms, a state which reveals and makes perceptible God’s higher power of control over the mind and personal control system.

Here Is the Deal Which Mushrooms and the Mind’s Structures Offer

This revelatory article explaining this mushroom tree image which includes a sword and non-branching and an entire profound graphic storyline context, presents the following non-negotiable package deal from on high.

This is the deal that is offered by the transcendent structures in the mind, and by the inherent nature of what the mushroom experience itself ultimately reveals:

o You can have mushrooms all throughout broadly Greek and Christian art and culture throughout history.

o You can have the full repeal of mushroom Prohibition.

The price you have to be willing to pay is your {beloved first-born child-self}, mythically speaking by using analogies.

The price you have to be willing to pay is:

o You have to learn Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism; the Egodeath theory; the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence, as laid out in the plainest, most direct English here, assisted by the Psalter image.

o You have to learn religious mythology, as well-represented in Greek and Christian Mystery Religion including this Psalter image that is explained plainly here.

o You have to sacrifice freewill thinking within a branching-possibilities presumption, as explained and instructed in the image and in this article.

As the monk artists would say:

Whether or not you elect to accept this proposed deal, is up to God.

Normal Christianity Includes Abundant Awesome Mythic-level Religious Experiencing

The revelation in this article is given in order to confirm the complete experiential authenticity of Christianity through the Holy Spirit that is given by God in the form of Psilocybe.

A reward for studying this theory of interpretation is, getting to hang precariously by one leg above the sword of God along with the red-garment initiate on the de-branched mushroom tree, and learning how to endure this intense altered state which leads inexorably to self-testing and transformation of control.

This type of decipherment of this image’s message proves that the mushrooms found throughout Christian art represent Psilocybe; and firmly, completely supports the full repeal of Psilocybe Prohibition, based on religious grounds, such as religious history and Freedom of Religion.

Scholars have failed to actually look into the matter of mushrooms in Christian art, practice, and culture. Courts are incorrect if they presume that other religions, but not Christianity, have a “shamanic” origin and tradition.

This article proves that Christianity has always been based on Psilocybe mushrooms. Christianity is highly competent in the awesome mythic and religious experiencing department.

There is no need to travel away from Christianity, mistaking it as uninspired, bereft of Dionysus, lacking the actual effective Holy Spirit; no need to go running off after other religions that proffer authentic experiencing of God’s power, and that promise to serve the mind’s innate desire for transcendent, otherworldly experience.

The theory of intense mystic altered-state experiencing that is presented here, and the method of mytheme analysis that is presented here, proves that our religion, normal mainstream Christianity, is based on intense, transformative Psilocybe experiencing, throughout history.

This mushroom tree, with a man hanging from one leg above a sword, certainly represents Psilocybe, in the heart of Christian art.

The Image Depicts an Entire Traditional, Time-tested Mushroom Initiation Procedure

The Message Conveyed Is Mandatory for Utilizing Psychedelics

There’s talk of a “new psychedelic revolution”, but there is no way to research such Loose Cognitive Science without preliminary learning of the Transcendent Knowledge that is conveyed in this mushroom-tree image.

The valuable message conveyed in this image is the magic password of ego death that is required in order to pass through the gateway of transformation, to explore and utilize the psychedelic state.

The intense altered state has a gate that is guarded by God’s angel of death, the dragon guarding the high treasure; a guarded gate which repels and casts out in terror anyone who doesn’t have this knowledge, this wisdom.

Instead of trying to steer away from “the shadow”, trying in vain to forever avoid, repress, and suppress “the shadow”, this Theory shows how to effectively steer toward the {blade} vulnerability demonstration.

Touching the {blade} to egoic thinking {sacrifices} Naive-Possibilism-thinking, {false rulership}, switching instead to Eternalism along with Qualified-Possibilism.

There’s no talk of “the shadow” here, except in the furrowed brows of the failed students: the exact nature of the threatening danger is exposed and known, and how to conform with and endure the danger is known.

By entering into the initiation session with this religious knowledge, training, guidance, and prayer, the initiate comes away unharmed, but enlightened and spiritually transformed.

The Depicted Method of Mushroom Initiation Provides Safety, Reliability, and Scalability

This Psalter image establishes the requirements for teachers, students, and initiation guides, to relatively safely use mushrooms to head toward what outsiders call “the shadow”, which specifically is, transcendent cybernetic control seizure, and sacrifice of the childhood-suited illusion that’s built into the branching-possibilities model of time and control.

The method presented in the image, and spelled-out in plain English in this article, covers safety, reliability, and scalability, to deliver the most profound, the very highest religious breakthrough mystical experience — as routinely done, delivering spiritual regeneration on-tap, in the various ancient Mystery Initiation traditions:

o Caution and Safety — This approach leads up to full control-seizure and mental model transformation in the most cautious and safe way possible.

o Reliability and Effectiveness — This approach provides the classic regeneration experience as effectively and reliably as possible; routinely on-tap.

o Scalability and Availability — This approach makes the cybernetic seizure and regeneration experience available and accessible to the most people, the greatest number of people possible.

The method encoded and communicated in this package-deal “mushroom, sword, and non-branching” image, is immediately and freely available to everyone who can understand and endure control-seizure and the sacrifice and purification of the childhood mental structures.

Initiation preserves the childhood mental structures intact, fully usable, and without any harm; just identifying, separating, and putting away childhood illusion, while gaining the Eternalism model of thinking about time and control.

With this article and image in hand, everyone who is able, can now sacrifice and move beyond the childhood mental structures that were taken as if metaphysically real, while yet fully preserving these required, treasured and beloved mental structures, without any harm.

These preliminary requirements for caution and safety; reliability and effectiveness; and scalable efficacy exactly fit the pattern of the Lesser and Greater Mysteries of Eleusis.

In Mystery Religion initiation on the pattern of Eleusis and depicted in the class teaching and testing scene in the upper left of this image, candidates are first instructed on theoretical book learning of the meaning of mythology as description of personal control seizure and transformation.

Only after that completed education in the ordinary state, the candidates for initiation who pass the examination, can become full-on initiates, who are prepared and ready to engage in entheogenic, real-world, in-practice, first-hand experience, of the experiences which are described, or encoded for communication, by analogies in religious mythology.

Religious mythology depicts the loose cognitive association that is reliably and strongly produced only by entheogens, a state that produces mental dynamics that are described as mania, frenzy, or rapture by the power of the Holy Spirit.

This Holy Spirit mania state, produced by ingesting the sacred meal of mushrooms provided by God, leads the mind to access its innate structure and climax potential of self-probing and control-testing, that inexorably leads to the sacrifice of childhood-suited, temporary, transient, perishable thinking, and regeneration of the mind regarding the mental model of control, possibility, and time.

This image is a mushroom-powered cybernetic control seizure mechanism, that only works if powered and activated by psychoactive mushrooms — thus proving that the mushroom tree depicted must be Psilocybe.

This same perspective from on high, above the mind’s cybernetic self-control system and getting a good look at it, likewise proves that all the other mushroom images in this Psalter and throughout Greek and Christian art are also representations of psychoactive mushrooms, whether the images match Psilocybe, Liberty Cap, or Amanita, in their various outward shapes, textures, and colors.

Qualifications That Are Required for a Completely Experienced Religious Initiation Guide: What ‘Wisdom’ Is

This illuminated manuscript image first depicts a teacher who knows the highest wisdom about self-control seizure, teaching students about how to endure Psilocybe and be spiritually regenerated.

The image then depicts a completely experienced, God-fearing religious initiation guide at a sacred-food Psilocybe banquet, not partaking.

The religious teacher, wise from full initiation into cancelling his personal control-thinking, and the religious initiation guide, teach the initiates how to effectively wield the controlled threat of loss-of-control, so as to correctly re-align their self-control.

The ultimately experienced teacher, and the initiation guide, teach the initiates how to consciously put trust in God as the ultimate controller and the actual source of their control-thoughts.

There is no vague talk about “the shadow” here, which amounts to saying “HERE BE DRAGONS”; meaning dangerous uncharted territory.

The completely experienced instructors who are depicted in this image know all about exactly what the inherent danger involves, in the altered-state exercise of pointedly revealing the mind’s control-vulnerability, in such a way as to successfully cause mental transformation into the coherent, durable, mature configuration.

The religious guide, and the wise, fully experienced religious teacher, know the real nature of sacrifice, prayer, God’s wrath, repentance, God’s mercy, and religious regeneration.

Students Are Required to Fully Understand Eternalism First, Before Permitted to Become Initiates in Practice

This preliminary theoretical training of {youths} and {maidens} before actual initiation, is like the Lesser Mysteries of Eleusis; pre-initiation.

A {youth} or {maiden} is a person who still thinks in terms of Naive-Possibilism; not fully initiated yet to convert to mature thinking, which is Eternalism.

A student is not permitted to become an initiate, until the student fully passes the exam to prove that the student has full theoretical understanding of the present article; knowing Eternalism and the {sacrifice} process of transforming to Eternalism-thinking (along with fully preserved and unharmed, Qualified-Possibilism-thinking).

Only 1 out of 4 students pass the exam in the upper left of the image.

The student must first prove that the student has complete understanding of Transcendent Knowledge; the Egodeath theory; Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism; the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence; the present article and the complete image which this article explains.

I have laid out that Theory in direct, plain language in this article; linked articles; and the Egodeath site, such as the main article there.

Students who have an incomplete understanding of Eternalism are not permitted to banquet and be on mushrooms above God’s sword.

The strict prerequisite before banqueting and being on mushrooms above God’s sword is, students are instructed and tested by the completely initiated teacher, to ensure that they first have complete understanding of the Eternalism model of time, branching possibilities, and control.

Students must be taught how to pray and trust in the hidden control source before, during, and after initiation; for example, Jonah’s prayer in the “whale” (ketos; short sea-serpent):

“Those who cling to worthless idols turn away from God’s love for them. But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. Salvation comes from the Lord.”

And, for example, the verses near this image in the Psalter.

Students must understand, for example, {fatal snake bite} and why looking at Moses’ {rigid bronze serpent on a de-branched pole} {cures} and restabilizes control.

Students are first trained, educated, and tested about (in theory) how to consciously put full trust in God as the source of control-thoughts, given that God is always the hidden uncontrollable source of control thoughts.

Students must first study this image, aided by the present article and a completely initiated teacher.

Students are required to understand {sacrifice} of child-mode delusion on the model of {Abraham’s child Isaac} and the {ram caught helplessly in the thicket}.

Students must first fully understand {charitable mercy and good judgment} and {breaking the bow}, to relent when the mind has cybernetically seized and tested its power against itself; sufficiently demonstrated to itself its dependent power.

The student must demonstrate that they consciously understand that the mind’s control system is dependent on the hidden uncontrollable source of control-thoughts.

Knowing the entire present article and image it explains, is a strict requirement, before the teacher permits the students to become initiates, banquet, and be on mushrooms above God’s sword.

The teacher is shown examining the students, and rejecting the students who have an incomplete understanding of the Eternalism model of time, branching possibilities, and control, and theoretically how to consciously put full trust in God as the source of control-thoughts, given that God is always the hidden uncontrollable source of control thoughts.

Students are required to score 2 out of 2; having the {right foot down} and displaying the {right hand}, with completely un-furrowed brow, per the front-left student.

Students are not passed if they have a mixture of understanding, scoring 1 out of 2, such as {right foot down} and {left hand displayed}, with slightly furrowed brow (per the front-right student).

Students are not passed if they score 0 out of 2, with {left foot down} and {left hand displayed}, with {very furrowed brow} (implied for the two students in the back row, whose feet are not shown).

The Complete Mushroom Initiation Storyline in Pictures

Scenes in the Whole Image, in Temporal Order

The top row coherently depicts and communicates a storyline which includes the following stages as scenes:

1. Act 1: Teacher with students — On the left, a teaching and examination session with a mature, wise, experienced teacher, and students who conditionally graduate.

2. Act 2: Sacred meal — A sacred meal of Psilocybe with a religious initiation guide and father present, not partaking.

3. Act 3: Pulled toward God by an angel for testing — The initiate is pulled into self-testing by a messenger-angel from God. The religious initiate is carried off into the Holy Spirit altered state by an angel from God; receiving ideas about testing personal control power while in the altered state of loose cognitive association binding.

4. Act 4: Vulnerable to God’s sword on mushrooms — The religious initiate is placed in a precarious position by the angel, messenger from God (the true, ultimate source & controller of control-thoughts). In the intense altered state, the mind seeks to probe and explore its control-integrity, and is innately drawn to ideas about self-testing and control-vulnerability.

5. Act 5: The Psalter viewer gets pulled into the center of the story — The person who is looking at the Psalter image thinks of the meaning of the initiates on mushrooms above God’s sword; reviews their training and testing (upper left); their banquet coaching (upper right); their being pulled upward by angel thoughts (upper mid-right); and ending up balancing on the tree (upper mid-left).

The viewer of the image thinks of challenging the mind’s control, and mercifully and charitably relenting. Any remaining old-thinking pollution, impurity, or childhood illusion is sacrificed, gaining Transcendent Knowledge, yet retaining functioning child-mode thinking, without any harm.

5. Act 5: Daily life — In the lower rows, mundane life then resumes, expressed with mystic analogies of plowing, sowing, reaping, eating, warring, and religious study.

Scenes in the Top Row, from Left to Right

In order from left to right. Numbering = temporal sequence.

1. Transformed teacher, testing students. (1 out of 4 has the required thinking.)

2. Pink key-tree (left = branching = instability; right = non-branching = stability).

5. Mushroom tree with qualified initiates being tested and transformed in practice.

0. God as source and paradigm of valid, stable control (left hand = null power = branching-illusion).

4. Angel bringing initiate for transformation after eating.

3. Sacred meal banquet with qualified {maiden}/student (the viewer), transformed guide, initiate’s transformed father, and qualified {youth}/student.

The initiates on mushrooms are vulnerable to falling onto the ultimate controller’s sword, until their thinking is stabilized by repudiating their initial, branching-premised thinking about control, and by instead adopting the non-branching way of thinking about control, possibility, and the ultimate source of control.

Recognizing Depictions of Transformative Effects

Method of Decoding Mytheme Analogies in Esoteric Art

The reward for reading this article and learning the Theory which it presents is:
o Proof that there are countless Psilocybe mushrooms all throughout Christian art.
o Proof that Christianity has always incorporated Psilocybe.
o The entire repeal of Prohibition of Psilocybe mushrooms.
o Learning how to recognize Greek & Christian art describing mushroom experiencing.
o Learning gnosis; Transcendent Knowledge.

Defining “Compelling Evidence” & “Criteria of Proof” for Mushrooms in Christian Art
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/13/compelling-evidence-criteria-of-proof-for-greek-bible-mushrooms/
That article defines three levels of evidence:
o Literal depictions of the physical form of mushrooms.
o Mythemes that describe the physical form of mushrooms, by analogy.
o Mythemes that describe the effects which result from mushrooms, including mental model transformation from a branching to a non-branching model of time, possibility, and control.

Understanding this proof requires the Egodeath theory, which is Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism, which I have laid out here, summarized in plain, direct language.

The Image Matches Psilocybe’s Effects of Self-Cancellation: Viable Control Depends on Understanding Non-Branching Possibilities and God’s Ultimate Control of Thoughts

The entire image exactly describes the distinctive, extreme, transformative effects of Psilocybe, in a complete, coherent, consistent storyline, in which the mind is brought to test its control and pass muster upon adopting the non-branching model of time and control.

The story in the pictures proves that the mushroom tree is Psilocybe, by coherently describing the peak transformational religious experiencing which Psilocybe intensely and reliably causes.

This illuminated art work is successfully read and interpreted in a compellingly coherent way that is laid out plainly here, as a description of mental model transformation from the Possibilism to the Eternalism model of time and control, intensely experienced in the altered state that reliably results from Psilocybe.

The situation that is depicted and described in this art work by use of analogies, exactly describes the peak, ultimate, intense transformational crisis that results from Psilocybe — exactly as depicted: an uneasy sacred meal, then carried away to be placed precariously above God’s sword while receiving thoughts of wrath and mercy.

The mature, completed initiate now has a modified, corrected understanding of personal control. In the remainder of the image, mundane life is depicted through mystic analogies, high comedy, and meaningful absurdity, representing the self-cancellation of the old, childhood-suited mental model.

The initiate is mentally placed in a precarious testing situation where the mind is made to conform with a non-branching model of personal control power, possibility, and time.

The mind is regenerated and made conformant with God-mode thinking.

Instead of looking for the physical form of mushrooms in this image, like the Minimal mushroom theorists, I look for {branching vs. non-branching}, {blade}, and {testing} themes, which describe by analogies, the ultimate transformative experiential effects from ingesting mushrooms.

An Image Designed to Communicate the Highest and Innermost Information

It is the world’s loftiest puzzle, an image-based communication of a subtle and intense message about personal control transformation in the loose cognitive state.

This image is a strong, highly coherent communication message, like a caduceus carried by the transcendent messenger of mythic knowledge. Receiving this message involves the highest kind of decryption, decoding, deciphering – compare the Rosetta Stone.

This message was in no way designed to obscure, but was entirely designed to communicate, to convey the highest observations about how the mind works in the intense mystic altered state.

This image provide instructions about how to conform with the mystic altered state, in order to have viable control and coherent thinking that endures.

Mythic art communicates in this mode, writing and reading using this analogy-based language of mythemes and motifs, including broad Greek and Christian art.

This image is the opposite of obscurantist. This image tries to communicate, not occlude: it even includes the pink key-tree to confirm the reading or decoding of the lofty message about branching vs. non-branching possibilities, and viable control in the altered state.

The Fluency Brought to this Decoding Problem

A few days ago, I was aware of nothing but the image of the mushroom tree itself, separated from the rest of this image, as if a free-floating, isolated image that actually had no surrounding context, with a random blue wavy area on the right. I was not aware of the existence of the Psalter or surrounding areas of the image.

The only thing I knew was this blurry, out-of-context cropped image, yet I was able to quickly decode the {non-branching}, {left and right limb}, and {sword} aspects, based on my knowledge of other art and mythemes:

From https://www.ancientpsychedelia.com/canterbury-psalter/

After Cyberdisciple located the source image, it took me a couple more days to decode the class session on the left and the pink key-tree, restricting myself to the top row of the image, to unpack the dense meaning and cross-connect meanings within the top row.

Then I reluctantly allowed myself to glance at the remainder of the complete image; rows 2 & 3. I didn’t want to get sucked into decoding the entire image.

As an expert at mapping mythemes to Eternalism, it took almost a week to decode and document the complete image, to fully explain the mushroom tree in its context of the entire image in the Psalter.

I still have barely glanced at the rest of the Psalter, but clearly it confirms everything here.

The information conveyed in this entire image is so lofty, that even with this art (this clear-cut image-based coherent expression of that loftiest knowledge), combined with expertise in Transcendent Knowledge and mythemes, it still took me four days (and more) to fully decode the image and write-out the communication for everyone here.

I was fluent from having decoded mythemes in other art; I used that literacy to read this context-free mushroom tree image in a series of easy steps; then the entire top row; then the entire page.

Since I knew the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence; the Egodeath theory; Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism; and Transcendent Knowledge, this decoding-puzzle was perfect for me.

Receiving this imagery-expressed communication across time and place requires a sophisticated, complete, mature, well-developed comprehension of both the mystic state and analogy-based descriptions of it.

I explain this loftiest message here in plain language, for everyone to readily learn, using my latest, clearest wording, supplemented by my many other, directly relevant writings and research leads.

To successfully receive the message, the viewer must know enough about the referent domain of mystic-state experiencing, and the artistic language of mythemes, to decode and receive the message.

Trees & Limbs, Branching & Non-branching

Unnatural Branching Identifies Psilocybe in Christian Art

The Minimalist, literalist outsiders, superficial thinkers on this topic, expect to identify mushrooms in art by only looking at the mundane surface forms of plants.

Minimalists maintain that there are no mushrooms in Christianity, and there is no possibility of compelling evidence for mushrooms in Christianity. Any mushrooms that appear, are to be quickly explained away. Minimalists hold the minimal mushroom theory of Christianity.

In fact, we know these are psychoactive mushrooms, because they do not look exactly like mushrooms, but instead, have added {branching} under the caps, representing knowledge of one’s non-branching worldline in the block universe.

An instructional hypothetical question: How could one tell the difference between a non-psychoactive mushroom vs. a psychoactive mushroom, in religious art?

Answer: The psychoactive mushroom has branches under the cap, or another otherworldly, unnatural branching feature, as a message of transcendence.

The angel’s ego-transcendent {message} that causes self-control seizure, panic, ego death, profound transformation, rescue from peril, and spiritual regeneration, is about branching vs. non-branching possibilities, including the personal cybernetic power to steer among possibilities.

The presence of altered-state mythemes such as {threat of death, branching, hand on heart, and hand gesturing toward the situation} show that this image is a depiction of altered-state mental model transformation; therefore the mushrooms represent specifically psychoactive mushrooms.

Trees Shape: The Simple Pink Tree Is the Decoding-Confirmation Key

Mytheme-decoding of this image is all about consistency of the mytheme patterns, defined so wonderfully explicitly by the pink tree, which is the confirmatory decoding key and an instructional aid used by the class session on the left.

https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f134.item.zoom

The pink tree is much clearer regarding the cut branch being on the right. The blue tree, its cut branch is barely on the right, and the branch splits off so near to the ground, and is cut so low, that it only reads as “stump”, not “branch”. The pink right branch really is a branch, with some significant length.

The smaller, pink, non-mushroid tree, and the larger, mushroom tree, are isomorphic: both have a trunk, one cut-off branch on the {right}, and one intact branch on the {left} that branches into three branches.

The two isomorphic trees confirm the valuation pattern:
o {left} = bad; illusory; unstable control; Possibilism; branching-thinking.
o {right} = good; real; stable control; Eternalism; non-branching-thinking.

The left, branching major branch of the pink tree approximately touches the left, branching major branch of the mushroom tree, indicating that what’s true of the one, is true of the other; or should we say, “what’s false of the one, is false of the other”.

This is not “matching by isomorphism”, but instead and also, “matching by touching”. In case all the other corroborations and signals and redundancy confirmation checks weren’t enough.

No Use of {serpent} or {rock} Mythemes

This diagram does not use the mytheme {serpent} to depict worldline, or {rock} to depict block universe.

This diagram only relies on the mythemes {left vs. right limb} and {branching vs. non-branching}, together with {sword} for cybernetic death, to focus on the control-death aspect of the two worldmodels.

The red initiate securely hangs from a long, serpentine, non-branching stem. In mytheme art, branching vs. non-branching is a matter of degree, for practical artistic purposes.

Ivy is considered to be non-branching, because it relatively rarely branches.

Although one could say that “the red initiate is saved from falling thanks to a branch”, that’s not a branching spot.

The red initiate’s “good”, {right leg} is on a straight, non-branching portion of the limb, far away from major, “evil” {branching}. It’s a matter of emphasis.

This art is extremely deliberate; there’s almost no slop or accident; most every aspect has been painstakingly weighed, considered, and decided with some deliberation and awareness of the signalling, by the monks who designed this highly intelligent art composition, an intricate communication.

This art piece exudes intelligence and deliberation, a dense transmission of coherent intention and meaning, which keeps revealing more and more depth, after days of decoding it.

Trees Shape: How to Establish Left = Possibilism, Right = Eternalism

{left} and {right} are arbitrarily and traditionally assigned to the two models, to keep track of them; to enable referring to one or the other of the models.

{branching} and {non-branching} are used to describe or characterize one of the key differences between the two different models of control and time, omitting use of the mythemes {snake} (worldline) and {rock} (block universe).

“Floating in mid-air offering no protection from death” is assigned to {left}, to (in contrast) communicate that the {right}, {cut-branch}, non-branching model is the viable, life-preserving model of control and time.

The function of the pink tree is to provide a simplified morphological schematic without any distracting mushroom or men, inviting us purely to focus on contrasting branching (on the {left}) vs. de-branched (on the {right}), and serving to confirm our interpretive experiment: it messages to the viewer, “Yes, you understand this message”.

The isomorphic, duplicated branching of the two trees communicates the consistent mapping, that in this diagram, {left limb} means branching, thus Possibilism; and {right limb} means non-branching, thus Eternalism.

Class Session: The Good Student and the Bad Students

Exam Question: Which Hand to Rely On When in Peril and Put to the Test for Viable Control Stability?

Consider the hand positions in this image:

Exam Question:
Which hand is good, and which hand is bad?
That is, which hand to rely on, when in peril; which branching-model to rely on, to save one from control-system failure?

The Students Display Their Answers

The Grading System

These are capable, clever artists, packing-in so much communication of information: they express three levels of comprehension among the class.

It’s a class of four students.

Two students are fully visible in the front row; that is, with feet and hands visible.

The exam consists of two questions for which to give an answer, the answer being indicated as follows:
Which hand displayed?
Which foot down?

The only exam-answers which we can see for the two back-row students, is the hand, not the feet (that is, whether a student’s left foot or right foot is down).

There are three possible grade levels:
A — correct foot down & correct hand displayed.
C — correct foot down & incorrect hand displayed.
C — incorrect foot down & correct hand displayed.
F — incorrect foot down & incorrect hand displayed.

Further details of that analysis:

Assume that one foot being up, means that the other foot is down. This gives 4 combinations (one feet-configuration, one hand-configuration), the middle two combinations being equivalent.

There are four theoretically possible combinations, to represent three grade levels:

‘A’ grade — 11; correct foot, correct hand; right foot down, right hand displayed.
Score: 2 out of 2. Fully correct understanding. Unfurrowed brow.
Passed; the student is allowed to banquet and be initiated on mushrooms above God’s sword.

‘C’ grade — 10; correct foot, wrong hand; right foot down, left hand displayed.
Score: 1 out of 2. Half incorrect understanding. Slightly furrowed brow.
Not Passed; the student is not allowed to banquet and be initiated on mushrooms above God’s sword.

‘C’ grade — 01; wrong foot , correct hand; left foot down, right hand displayed.
Score: 1 out of 2. Half incorrect understanding. Not depicted; would be slightly furrowed brow.
Not Passed; the student is not allowed to banquet and be initiated on mushrooms above God’s sword.

‘F’ grade — 00; wrong foot, wrong hand; left foot down, left hand displayed.
Score: 0 out of 2. Completely incorrect understanding; very furrowed brow.
Not Passed; the student is not allowed to banquet and be initiated on mushrooms above God’s sword.

The Students’ Grades on the Exam

Students must fully pass this “Possibilism vs. Eternalism” exam, or else they aren’t allowed to be on mushrooms above God’s sword.

The student on the left passes.
The pink-undergarment student, to the left of the teacher, confidently gives the correct answer with completely un-furrowed brow, displaying his {right hand} (Eternalism); that’s why he’s permitted to pass the exam and continue on to banquet and be on mushrooms, so he gets to appear twice more in the top row for the school yearbook, as the pink initiate.

The successful student has studied the present article and fully understands it. He is the one good student among the class of four.

The three students on the right don’t pass.
The student with feet on the right and only slightly furrowed brow, half-gets it: his right foot is correctly down, left foot up — but he incorrectly displays his left hand.

The other two students, with fearful, furrowed brow, give the incorrect answer, displaying their {left hand} (Possibilism); and either having left or right foot down; not shown — we can assume they all had the correct foot as the front-right student shows. The don’t pass the exam.

For their own safety, they are not allowed to banquet and be on mushrooms, nor to appear in any other photos in the top row for the yearbook.

The teacher:
The teacher doesn’t need to look at the initiates on the mushroom tree; he already understands, and is examining the good student’s thinking.

The teacher has successfully communicated the full understanding to the good student.

The teacher’s expression shows that he is testing the student; and this student displays the fully correct answer.

The other candidate {youths}/students are still incorrectly thinking partly in terms of {left hand} Possibilism; Literalist Ordinary-state Possibilism, even though the front student has the correct foot down (the back students’ feet we can’t see) — I think I recognize them.

The teacher is Cybermonk.

The smart student is Max Freakout and Cyberdisciple, who pass the exam and so are coached further at the banquet, and are then permitted to be on mushrooms and blade-instruct themselves into a God-conformant new mental model, putting their well-studied, theoretical understanding of Eternalism into practice, first-hand.

The flunked students are Brinckmann, Panofsky, Wasson, Letcher, and Hatsis; they give the wrong answer, according to their default presumptions, they flunk the exam, and for their own safety, they are not permitted to banquet and be on mushrooms, nor to appear in any other places in the school yearbook, the illuminated manuscript, except in the oxen scene down on row 3.

However, as a cautionary example of failure, the bad students’ images of giving the foolish, wrong answer are captured, and remain in the yearbook for the next 800 years.

Students Who Gave Wrong Answer Appear Elsewhere

Have you seen these youths around town? Former students, it didn’t work out.

The happy brute getting grain poured into his sack is one of the few with the wrong foot on the ground, his left foot (he is affirming Naive-Possibilism-thinking). Grain is more useful than gnosis.

I think it’s Wasson — there’s an uncanny resemblance.

Banquet Meal, then Pulled by Angel by Right Limb

The Sacred Meal and the Barrier Column Between Mundane and God-Consciousness

There is a full-height barrier column to the right of God, between the angel and the spiritual-food banqueters who are beginning their celestial loose-cognitive voyage.

The column divides the ordinary state from the altered state. The barrier column means separated from God-awareness, in the ordinary state of consciousness (tight cognitive association binding).

{Foot/base of column} represents stability.

There’s the same placement of the barrier-column and mushroom tree, making them equivalent.

By the same symmetry, the observers on the left are in the ordinary state, with the mundane pink tree.

Everything to the left of the mushroom tree is in the same, ordinary (but spiritually observant) state of consciousness.

The zone of altered-state God-awareness (God-consciousness, God-mode thinking), is from the mushroom tree to the barrier-column.

The observers on the left observe the altered-state representations, the peak altered-state phenomena that are depicted and visually described.

The meal banqueters on the right are consuming the entheogen that causes the peak altered-state phenomena that are depicted and visually described.

The horizontal placement of the barrier-column is symmetrically placed with the mushroom tree, corroborating that the column represents the switch from ordinary state to altered state; think of the mushroom as being overlaid onto the column, serving as a gateway or portal to the otherworld of Mythemeland.

The column and the mushroom tree are in exactly equivalent spots. This confirms the interpretation of the column as the barrier between tight cognitive state and the loose cognitive state. What causes the shift from tight cog to loose cog? Look to the same spot on the other side for the answer: the mushroom (tree).

Having cleared his bowl of the mushrooms provided by God, while the others are still eating them, one of the entheogenic banqueters (the red initiate) — the same who later hangs above the sword — is now lifted off the ground in the altered state, supported and pulled (by his {right arm}) by an angel, messenger of God; a messenger of Possibilism vs. Eternalism.

The entheogenic banqueter (the red initiate) who has taken off is supported and pulled by the angel of God by his {right arm}, emphatically not by his {left arm raised up floating} in the air, nor by his {feet} in the ordinary state on the right-hand side of the column, where we are blocked from seeing God’s power.

{Left arm} means Possibilism-thinking.
{Right arm} means Eternalism-thinking.

{Both of the red initiate’s feet together off the ground} is a different kind of meaning, more like ordinary comic book than a mytheme. It means that the red initiate is not using his accustomed Naive Possibilism-based control-thinking (and experiencing).

The red initiate’s feet are not on the ground and on the base of the column; his usual self-control basis is suspended. Compare shoes that are partly resting on other column-bases.

The theme of “resting on the base of a column” is probably less consistent or ubiquitous than the use of hands and arms in the upper row; it is less of a critical driving theme, and is used more opportunistically, as a lower priority to drive the placement of items.

The red initiate’s accustomed control-system is in abeyance.

The referent or meaning of “both feet together floating at the top of the column foot, base, or foundation” is somewhat different than “left hand grasping at thin air without purchase, in the altered state as virtual Possibilism-power fails”.

“Both feet together floating” is negative; it means “not the mind’s regular control-thinking/experiencing”; “regular control-thinking and control-experiencing is in abeyance.”

On the right side of the cloud of God, an angel is coming forth from the realm of God, holding up the red initiate {beardless youth} by his {right arm} (Eternalism-thinking).

The red initiate’s {left arm and hand} (Possibilism-thinking) is {floating in mid-air}, offering no support for personal control stability.

Timeline for Initiates Finishing Eating, Getting Placed in Tree, then Almost Falling Onto the Sword

There are two initiates in the tree at the same time: first the red initiate, hanging, then after that, joining him, the pink initiate, sitting near the branch in the tree.

1a. First, the red initiate ({youth}) finishes eating his white bowl (while pink is still eating two bowls).
1b. Then, the angel pulls the red initiate (initiate #1) by the {right arm} (Eternalism-thinking).
1c. The angel then places initiate #1, the red initiate, hanging in the tree above the sword.

2a. Trailing some time behind red, the pink initiate-{youth} finally finishes consuming his two bowls.
2b. The angel pulls the pink initiate by the {right limb}.
2c. The angel places the pink initiate to sit near the branch of the tree, overlooking the red initiate who is hanging. That’s the state that the left scene shows.

3a. Third, not shown, in the future, on the right, the {maiden} will finish eating.
3b. It’s implied that in the future, the angel will pull the {maiden} up into God-mode thinking, by her {right arm}.
3c. The angel will then place the {maiden} in the tree in some position, to be vulnerable to falling on the sword if she maintains branching-thinking and its model of control.

Note: {threatened to almost meet a blade} = for example, the sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham — or rather, of the ram which got himself stuck helplessly in a thicket.

Genesis 22:12-13 — The Sacrifice of Isaac’s thicket-caught ram — the angel/ram verses:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+22%3A12-13&version=KJV;NIV

Barrier-Column

On the right side of the image, on the left side of the barrier-column, the red initiate is pulled by an angel coming out of God’s cloud or aura — the blue band.

The red initiate is pulled by the angel by his {right arm} (Eternalism-thinking), while his {left arm} (Possibilism-thinking) extends up, floating helplessly in mid-air.

The red initiate’s {right arm} (Eternalism-thinking) is pulled by, and attached to, the stability that’s dependent on the angel, though the angel is about to hang him above the threatening sword; meanwhile, the red initiate’s {left arm} (Possibilism-thinking) floats free without offering any control-stability; no purchase for control, no foundation, no ground, no basis to support control-power.

The placement of the red initiate in relation to the barrier-pillar:

The red initiate bends, where his body crosses the state-boundary.

The red initiate’s feet extend down straight to the base of pillar, on the ordinary-state, right side of the boundary-pillar.

A full-height spear or pillar dividing a scene marks a major contrast:
tight cognition/loose cognition
ordinary state/ altered state
mortals/immortals
mortal/immortal
perishable/imperishable
egoic/transcendent
Possibilism/Eternalism
Naive Possibilism/ Eternalism + Qualified Possibilism

The barrier-column is the gateway between the tight cognitive and loose cognitive states; the ordinary state vs. the altered state.

The left side of the barrier-column shows that the loose cognitive state lets us distinguish the two models of control.

On the right side of the barrier-column, the red initiate’s legs are together, indicating that he only knows one model of time, possibility, and control; he only knows Naive Possibilism.

On the left side of the barrier-column, the red initiate’s arms are spread emphatically far apart, indicating that he has become highly aware of a new model (Eternalism ) in stark contrast to the old model (Naive Possibilism).

After initiation, the initiate possesses two mental models of time, possibility, and control: Qualified-Possibilism, and Eternalism.

In the loose cognitive state, there is a clear difference between the two models of time and control:

The loose cognitive state is the realm of experiencing the Eternalism model.
The tight cognitive state is the land of the Possibilism model.

Before initiation, the mind has the Naive-Possibilism model.
After completion of initiation, the mind has the Qualified-Possibilism model an the Eternalism model.

The loose cognitive state introduces a new model to the mind, that contrasts with the old model, so the initiate becomes now aware of the existence of two models: old vs. new.

Lack of {left vs. right} pattern on the right side of the barrier column

The {left vs. right} rules do not apply in the ordinary state (tight cognitive association binding), to the right of the barrier column.

The column sets up a sharp contrast: to the left of the column, the {left vs. right} limb or branch rules consistently and emphatically apply; to the right of the column, the {left vs. right} rules manifestly do not apply.

The red initiate {beardless youth} held by the angel doesn’t have a clear-cut difference between his two feet, on the right side of the dividing column.

Both of his feet appear to be floating: he is not basing his foundation of control on ordinary-state thinking (which is, initially, naive Possibilism-thinking); his foundation of control-reliance is solely on the angel holding him up by the right arm.

The pink initiate {beardless youth} on the right of the table explicitly has both arms resting on the table, each holding a bowl, taking a double dose of Psilocybe.

In the middle of the table are the {bearded, mature men} (completed initiates who have gnosis; wisdom.

Snakes with Legs, and Men with No Limbs

The bearded men do not eat the sacred meal, because they are already completed initiates.

The bearded, mature men have completed initiation to convert from Possibilism to Eternalism-thinking.

They have been de-branched; like the cut-off right branch of the mushroom tree, which is the good, stable, Eternalism model, they show no branching limbs.

Canterbury Psalter, folio 11. Includes unnatural branching as a signal: serpent with legs, and branching under the mushroom cap.
https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f11.item

(The image also contains literal depictions of Liberty Cap mushrooms, within a mushroom-tree cap. Or maybe that’s a depiction of an Italian Pine tree, as art historian Brinckmann explained in his 1906 book: artists worked off of templates, which got screwy over the years, as the top art historian Panofsky explained in a letter to Pope-banker Wasson.)

A serpent is non-branching. Ironic mythology, playing with branching and non-branching as a central theme, includes serpents with branching, such as multiple heads, or with legs (branching limbs).

The Concerned Father Bringing His Maiden for Psilocybe Initiation

Everyone at this table has prepared by studying Transcendent Knowledge in the ordinary state, as shown on the left side; they have read the present article, in the ordinary state, and the blue man has first-hand experience blading (self-threatening, to revise) his child-thinking.

Zoom-in the high-resolution image at the site, to examine everyone’s facial expression. These are capable comic book illustrator monks, creating these images; their facial expressions are significant and meaning-filled.

The {maiden} and her father are anxious, and the religious initiation guide is reassuring and coaching the {maiden} (presumably with prayer for trust and mercy, protection and spiritual regeneration), under the guidance of her father.

https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f134.item.zoom

The Apprehensive Maiden Is the Viewer; the Reassuring Experienced Religious Guide Is the Monks

Everyone at the table is looking at the {maiden}, and the {maiden} is looking at them. The {maiden} is the common focal point at the meal.

(The angel is not visible to the meal participants.)

All mythemes and mythic figures are aspects of the mind in the altered state.

The viewer identifies with the {maiden} and her concerned, fully initiated father and loved ones.

I suspect that the “women” Maenads, devotees of Dionysus, with unbound hair (loose cognition), revelling in the forest, are either men or women, in women’s clothing.

King Pentheus, to spy on Dionysus’ group, had to dress as a Maenad to fit in; that was the initiates’ dress.  

A common theme in Mystery Religion is {maiden, kore} = initiate, by analogy: “the mind makes itself vulnerable to mystic impregnation, producing new birth spiritually”.

In Mithraism, soldiers dress as woman, for at least one stage of initiation.

Religious Initiation Guide at Banquet

The religious initiation guide is de-branched; showing no limbs, like a non-branching, wise {serpent}.

The bearded men do not show their limbs — they are limb-less, debranched — a mystic joke about branching, like the snake with legs.

The red initiate owns the white bowl that’s emptied of mushrooms; he’s already off the ground, pulled by the angel by his {right arm} (Eternalism-thinking).

The pink initiate owns the red and blue bowls, a double-dose that slowed him down, so he’s following behind the first initiate.

Since the {maiden} isn’t shown on the mushroom tree, she will be third in line to be placed on the mushroom tree by God’s messenger angel, precariously above the sword. The {maiden} rests both limbs (arms or hands) on the table.

Angel

To pass through the gate guarded by the {angel} of {death} with {flaming sword}, the price is ego death; repudiating Naive Possibilism, and knowing/affirming Eternalism, so that the mind ends up with Qualified Possibilism.

{Angel, messenger} = communication of cybernetic death-dynamics. The angel from God is the active agent; this communication and lesson is received by, not initiated by, the egoic controller.

Hanging by the Right Leg Above a Sword

Precarious Hanging Above a Sword, Supported by the Right Leg Only

Hanging precariously above a sword by the right leg, with left foot floating, is evidence for Psilocybe representation, by representing the peak effects of Psilocybe.

This diagrammatic image represents by analogies of {branching and non-branching}, {peril}, and {sword} causing {death}, the two models of time and control.

These mythemes describe the Psilocybe-induced phenomena of mental model transformation from the branching Possibilism to the non-branching Eternalism model of time and control, thus confirming that this tri-fold mushroom tree in Christian art specifically represents Psilocybe.

The red initiate {beardless youth} ate the mushrooms in the {banquet}.

The meal and barrier-column area show that the red initiate consumed (emptied) his (no one is touching the white bowl, it is shown to us as empty, and the red initiate is already being pulled by the angel by his {right arm} (Eternalism-thinking), and will be first to be hung above the sword, while the pink initiate is still eating, and will be initially placed by the angel to sit at the branch) bowl before the pink initiate, who was still eating his two bowls (he is touching the blue bowl and holding the red bowl).

Now the red initiate, pulled into gnosis by the angel, has ended up in a {precarious} position that threatens {death}; control-loss.

The red initiate was pulled by the {angel, messenger} of God, by his {right arm} (Eternalism-thinking), and ended up positioned to hang {precariously, perilously} above a {sword}, {supported by} only his {right leg}, and touching with his {right hand} the {cut-off branch} of the mushroom tree, affirming the truth of non-branching, to {save his life} (restore his viable cybernetic control-stability).

The red initiate’s {left hand} is touching the sword: his {left hand} (Possibilism-thinking) offers no purchase, no power to stop him from falling onto the sword and dying.

The red initiate’s {left hand} (Possibilism-thinking) is cut by the sword, which removes Naive-Possibilism-thinking, the {perishable} part of the mental model, leaving only Qualified-Possibilism, as well as driving the mind to construct and develop Eternalism-thinking.

Eternalism-thinking is the new model of time and control, which is able to endure and conform with the loose cognitive association state from Psilocybe.

Implicitly, the sword cut off the right-hand branch of the mushroom tree, rendering it the correct branch, which is, the “non-branching”, second model of time and control which the mind develops.

The Pink Initiate

The pink initiate {beardless youth}, who is sitting in the {branching} part of the {tree}, {grasps at thin air with his left hand}, and {gestures towards and looks towards} the hanging red initiate’s {foot floating in mid-air}, which gives no support basis to prevent control-loss cybernetic {death} by falling onto God’s {sword}.

https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f134.item.zoom

The {sword} and the {angel} are connected, because they are both coming from god’s cloud/aura at the same level.

This is equivalent to the angel with flaming sword who guards the gate into the Garden of Eden.

The {left hand} of the pink initiate who is sitting in the {branching} part of the {tree} is {floating in mid-air}; his left hand is grasping at thin air, clenching to try to support himself from falling onto the {sword of death}, but grasping nothing.

The pink initiate is only supported and saved from death by the {cut-off branch} grasped by his {right hand}. His right hand is firmly grasping the {cut branch} which is saving or rescuing him from falling to his {death}.

{Left leg and foot} means the old, naively held Possibilism mental model, naive freewill-premised thinking, which gives no basis for stable, effective personal control power in the loose cognitive state; relying on that mental model in the loose cognitive state produces the threat of cybernetic control instability, {death}.

{Right leg and foot} represents the new, Eternalism mental model, which gives support (on the branch, not the ground, in this case) to prevent from {dying} by falling into the {sword} of cybernetic loss-of-control upon seeing and experiencing that one’s future path of control-thoughts is pre-set, frozen into the block universe.

A mytheme related to {left hand grasping at thin air for support, to save from death} is {idol worship}; freewill-premised, branching Possibilism-thinking has null power, as experienced in the altered state.

The pink initiate’s {right foot} is {secured, stabilized} on a {cut-off branch} (there’s a white line like on the major cut), just as his {right hand} is {securely} clutching a {cut off branch} within the branching half of the tree.

The loose cognitive association state characteristically makes creative, fluid, fluent analogies.

The pink initiate’s {left hand} and {left foot} are floating in thin air, not {securing} him from falling to his {death} on the {sword}.

A deliberate contrast is shown: instead of the pink initiate’s {left hand} being shown as behind the stem, thus grabbing onto it for support, his left hand is in front of that stem, explicitly on the wrong side of the stem, the hand displayed as clenched and {grabbing onto nothing}, {giving him no security}, rendering his left hand useless and {impotent to stabilize} him.

His hand is displayed, explicitly underlined as not behind the stem where one would want it to be, to provide {secure stability}. 

If the far stem weren’t too far away, he could be pressing the back of his {left hand} against that stem to provide stability.

The consistent intention would be clearer if his hand were floating against a gold backdrop. But the artist uses the “wrong side” contrast instead.

The artist contrasts, “hand on wrong side of stem”, and the stem is sufficiently far away and his arm is angled toward us, to indicate that his {left hand} is floating in mid-air, not reaching around to grab the stem.

Be sure to look closely, using high-resolution fullscreen zoom; it pays off; this high art is extremely deliberate, in various significant, crucial points. The details are packed and loaded with significance.

Hanging: Continued Analysis of the Mushroom-Tree Hanging Diagram

The right-hand mushroom, the hanging red initiate’s {right foot} (Eternalism thinking), and the {sword} of cybernetic self-control {death} all touch the realm of God.

His right foot is touching God’s cloud, as if standing on and supported by God’s veiled power. He’s not supported and saved by the branching, by Possibilism, but rather, by a serpent-like, non-branching stem.

The {serpentine non-branching long stem} is good for control-stability, equivalent to {non-branching, cut-off-branch}; it describes by analogy, through its shape, the non-branching worldline in the block universe.

The {life-threatening} {sword}, that threatens self-control loss, {wrath} of God, comes from God’s {cloud} that prevents directly seeing God’s transcendent power.

God is demonstrating his {wrath}, {threatening} the initiate to teach him to stop relying on freewill-premised, Possibilism-premised control-thinking.

Personal control power, the wrathful threat of control-instability (cybernetic {death}), the {merciful} return of control-stability ({imperishable life}), and mental transformation ({gnosis; message from angel}) all come from the realm of {God} the ultimate controller, as experienced, revealed, and apprehended in the loose cognitive state from Psilocybe.

The hanging initiate’s {left hand} is on the far side of the sword, dangling in mid-air, offering no support, so that he would fall onto the sword and {die} if he tried to rely on his left hand; Possibilism-thinking.

The hanging initiate’s {right hand} touches the cut-off trunk-stem; understanding non-possibility-branching Eternalism provides stable self-control cybernetics.

Blades to Transform Thinking

The mushroom {tree} comes with a {sword}, a {blade}. It’s a package deal. Here’s the specific, directly identified nature of the {blade} of {sacrifice} to become {blessed} and {regenerate}.

Hyper-Inspired Psalter Reader with Self-Testing and Self-Mercy

The Psalter reader in the peak intense altered state views this image.

The self-threatening Bible reader, or Psalter image viewer, is the central focal point of the entire image.

Five figures focus on the hyper-inspired Psalter image viewer:
o The bow man with arrowhead inches away from the Psalter image viewer’s head.
o The sword man, who is unsheathing or re-sheathing his sword.
o The bow man who is relenting, backing off, and breaking his bow.
o {charitable mercy and good judgment}.

The Psalter image viewer is the same man as the initiation guide, who is reassuring and en-couraging the uneasy {maiden} (initiate), who is the viewer of this image.

The teacher is testing the student’s thinking. The teacher is the same man as the Psalter image viewer, who is testing his own thinking.

The mind stably relies only on the {right leg}, which is, Eternalism-thinking, about time, possibility, and control.

The mind’s self-control is put to the test, but reasonably judges, with {charitable mercy based on good judgment}, relenting and breaking the bow, upon purging the illusion of branching possibilities: {left leg}, Naive-Possibilism-thinking.

The viewer of this image in the Psalter, is shown within this image, viewing the Psalter, and thinking about the meaning of the red initiate above him hanging by the {right leg only}, on mushrooms, above God’s sword, while the viewer’s mind {unsheathes the sword of sacrifice} and at the same time, pleads the case for {charitable mercy and good judgment} for the viewer’s mind and well-being.

The mystic reader (as the red initiate) {breaks his bow} (he backs off from self-control system violation), and receives the thought, the transcendent message, like the {angel} said of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his {child} Isaac, which would prevent God’s promise of health and fecundity from coming true:

The angelic thought is sent into the mind: “This mind has demonstrated right, coherent thinking about personal control. For an appropriate, blessed sacrifice that matches this correct, coherent thinking, here is a ram that got himself trapped helplessly in a thicket.”

The {sacrifice of the ram} is the Bible paradigm of sacrifice that sustains life unharmed; yielding corrected, blessed thinking about control and time.

Genesis 22:12-13 (KJV) —

“he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.”

From folio 12 of the Psalter.

Abraham then sacrificed the ram on the altar of {rocks} (block universe), and Abraham and his child-thinking walked away unharmed and healthy, yet thinking rightly about control and time.

Genesis 22:8-18 — The Sacrifice of Isaac’s thicket-caught ram
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2022%3A8-18&version=KJV;NIV

Genesis 22:12-13 — The Sacrifice of Isaac’s thicket-caught ram — the angel/ram verses only:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+22%3A12-13&version=KJV;NIV

The angel’s message, the saving thought: do not harmfully violate self-control; rather, repudiate reliance on freewill-thinking; convert from Naive-Possibilism to Eternalism (+ Qualified-Possibilism), as the model of time, possibility, and control that endures and is true and stable.

The soldiers {unsheathing God’s sword}; the intensely inspired Bible reader; and {charitable mercy based on good judgment}, are all the viewer in the mystic state; the mind probing and testing its control-model, and relenting upon repudiating Naive-Possibilism and converting to Eternalism + Qualified-Possibilism.

{child} = childhood-appropriate self-control thinking, based on illusory and incoherent, branching-possibility, freewill-premised control, which proves powerless when put to the test, and cancels itself out in the intense mystic altered state.

Gentle {lamb}, {dove} and {Holy Spirit}, Contrasted with {ram}, {eagle}, and {frenzy} or {mania}

Contrasted with {lamb} and {dove}, the mythemes {ram} and {eagle} have connotations of harm, such as {burning the ram on the altar}, during or after the climactic, final full demonstration of nullity, vulnerability, and cancellation of self-control power.

The mind is made to demonstrate its inability to control itself, in order to eliminate Possibilism-thinking, and receive its mature form of mental worldmodel: Eternalism-thinking together with Qualified-Possibilism-thinking.

In this transformation struggle, or {wrestling with an angel}, the mind is made to purify and purge itself of {sin}, {impurity}, and {pollution}; this way, the mind is finally rid of self-contradiction about self-control.

Compare the violent connotations or tone of Zeus’ {eagle} who abducts the {youth} Ganymede by force, along with {frenzy} and {mania} (the altered state); versus the {power of the Holy Spirit} (the intense, cybernetically overpowering altered state) figured as a gentle, peaceful, harmless {dove}.

Compare the powerful {ram} of Isaac, versus the gentle, non-harm-toned analogy of Jesus as {lamb}.

Together, the mythemes {Holy Spirit} as a {dove} instead of Zeus’ {eagle}, and Isaac’s {ram} now figured as a gentle {lamb}, emphasize the angelic thought that saves the completed mystic from harm, “do not harm the child”, while the mind is finally purged of the remnants of Naive-Possibilism-thinking.

The heavily inspired Psalter viewer may be looking at an image of the sacrifice of the ram that got himself stuck helplessly in a thicket.

The {arrowhead} of testing the mind’s mode of thinking is aimed straight at the inspired Bible reader’s head from inches away, while {charitable mercy} and {good judgment} are taken into consideration from the other side.

{charitable mercy} and {good judgment} in the mystic’s mind encourage the mind to do no more than sufficient, adequate demonstration of the control-vulnerability of the freewill-premised, branching-possibilities model of control and time.

{good judgment and charitable mercy} {holds up her palm}, asking the mind’s sword-men and bow-men to relent, have mercy, and not harmfully violate the personal self-control system. The red initiate, in compliance with this reasonable, saving idea, {breaks his bow}.

The reasonable pleading tone of {charitable mercy} and {good judgment} is that very tone of God’s angel telling Abraham that he has obeyed God rightly, and to go sacrifice the provided, isomorphic, ram that got himself caught helplessly in a thicket.

During the altered-state initiation into adult thinking, the mind is innately designed to put its power and integrity of self-control to the test, in order to drive itself with force, to convert to the non-branching, Eternalism model of control and time, while yet keeping the original, illusion-based, incoherent model of time and control fully intact and usable, unharmed.

{Foot/base of column} represents stability. The inspired Bible reader’s chair rests on the right side of the base of the column. This is a stable zone, a stable space, with two columns under God.

{charitable mercy} and {good judgment} rest on, and are based on, the foot of the stable column.

The intensely inspired Bible reader is both reading the Bible — viewing the present Psalter image in this illuminated manuscript — and receiving revelation through the Holy Spirit.

The inspired Bible reader’s right foot is on the ground, left foot floating in thin air; he knows the Egodeath theory.

{God’s wrath} & {God’s mercy}

The arrowhead and spear are aimed pointedly at the inspired Bible reader’s head.

The arrowhead and sword are directly below God’s sword.

The {unsheathed sword} is parallel with {God’s sword}; the intensely inspired Bible reader is in the same situation as the red initiate who is hanging supported by his {right leg} above {God’s sword} of cybernetic self-cancellation.

The contemplative Bible reader in a state of intense Psilocybe inspiration, has been placed on the de-branched mushroom tree by the {angel}, messenger of God’s control, to test and correct his control-thinking.

Humorless, dour people cannot crack the code — it is the wrong mentality. Can the comic book artist make it any clearer?

All mythemes refer to aspects of the mind in the entheogen-induced, loose-cognitive, altered state.

Two guys are both stabbing themselves happily, communicating a positive, winking sense, un-serious yet of highest, ultimate profundity and classic mythic drama.

The duplication of the {self-stabbing} image signals that these images are meaningful and relevant, not just whimsical.

This joking yet ultimate, transformative experiencing goes beyond mere “epic”, to full-on mythic level.

Unsheath the Sharpened Sword of Scripture

Arrow tip as a blade: In Mithraism, the Father (initiator) would aim the bow and arrow at the initiate. 5 blades are shown below.

Cybercide

{Piercing the right side wound}, means demonstrating the vulnerability of the freewill-premised, branching-based model of control, in order to drive mental regeneration.

{piercing} the {wound} of {death and regeneration} is, exposing the flaw of the mind’s control model which is based on the initial childish assumption of branching possibilities.

Self-threat by the {blade} means probing how control-thinking works, to cause regeneration of the mental model of control.

By such testing and probing of its control vulnerability, the mind learns to attribute God as the ultimate source of thoughts, and thus properly and coherently place trust in God, rather than trying to keep trusting in and relying on the vaporous {idol} illusion of autonomous personal control agency.

God the Ultimate Controller of Control-Thoughts

Sword Piercing God’s Cloud in God’s Right Side

God’s {sword of death}, cybernetic self-control cancellation and violation, is piercing into God’s cloud, instead of coming out from it.

Theology of Sword Piercing God’s Cloud in the Right Side

To positively identify the mushroom tree in Christian art as Psilocybe, the greatest analytical power we can bring, to apply in order to judge that question, would be the highest, most fully sophisticated esoteric theology of cybernetic ego death; so I here lay that out, plainly and directly summarized, to explain how {God’s sword of correction} works.

This is what the red initiate is thinking, mystic thoughts that are caused by and distinctive of entheogens, not by an ersatz sacred meal of merely grocery-store mushrooms.

Being a classic entheogen, that causes loose cognitive association binding, Psilocybe causes these types of thoughts, about self-control cybernetics, thoughts which match the analogies that are depicted by the picture’s mythemes, thus proving that the mushroom tree is Psilocybe, not grocery-store mushrooms.

{God’s cloud} is being pierced by God’s {sword of death}. The monks who designed the picture show God’s cloud pierced by the sword in the right side.

The initiate is made to threaten their own self-control so as to violate it so as to cause the mind to switch its attribution of its control-foundation source.

The mind is made to change to:

o The non-possibility-branching, Eternalism model, depending on and trusting in the actual source of control-thoughts

instead of:

o Futile and irrational {praying for rescue} by the {grasping-at-thin-air idol} of freewill-premised personal control power, per the Possibilism model of control, possibility-branching, and time.

The mind is caused by God to pierce itself in its vulnerable side, to gain correct, coherent thinking, fundamental integrity and coherence; made to sacrifice one’s child-thinking.

God sacrifices his son, the king ruling over all the cosmos, in the same pattern, relevantly isomorphic with the self-sacrifice, sufficient demonstration that the mind is made to do to eliminate the illusion and self-contradiction of branching-possibility control-thinking.

In cybernetic {death}, the mind receives control-thoughts that cause the mind to violate and cancel its own power, by the initiative of the uncontrollable higher controller.

The {blade of sacrifice} pierces the {right side} of God’s cloud.

God is being pierced by the {sword of death and regeneration} in his right side.

The {right side} is where the self-control system has a vulnerable opening, through which {death and regeneration} occurs, producing gnosis; Transcendent Knowledge, mental model transformation from Naive-Possibilism, to Eternalism alongside with Qualified-Possibilism preserved and affirmed as blessed.

God is being {pierced by a blade in his right side}, while pulling-in the red initiate, whose control foundation {right foot} is in God’s cloud, while sending out a message scroll to the mystic-state Bible reader.

The sword is not shown with handle coming out from God’s cloud, cutting the mushroom tree’s right branch.

Inventory of items coming from God’s cloud

There is a lot of key activity in the bottom band of the center of the image.

The sword and angel come from the cloud in symmetric positioning.

Inventory of items in the bottom band of the center of the image:
Pink tree cut-branch & bottom of branching
Mushroom tree cut-branch & bottom of branching
Sword in cloud
God’s right hand pointing down to stable ground, vs. left hand in thin air
Head of red initiate
Right hand of red initiate touching cut-branch
Left hand of red initiate floating in thin air
Red/white disc below God
Bottom of cloud/aura around God
Angel
Red initiate pulled by angel, to hang on tree
Red initiate’s feet above pillar base, on the ordinary-state side
Angled Liberty Cap shape in God’s garment under left arm (check Psalter conventions)

A separate “cloud-touching” inventory covers items such as the scroll coming down from God’s cloud, and the red initiate’s right foot.

God — The Uncontrollable Hidden Controller; the Creator and Source of All Control-Thoughts

Items touching God’s cloud:
o Mushroom cap with branches on the underside.
o Red initiate’s right foot, toes go into cloud.
o Sword tip goes into, or comes from, cloud.
o The funnel hat of the mystic-state Bible reader.
o Scroll.
o Angel, legs come from cloud, right hip/leg shown, angel’s wing.

God’s {left hand} (the Possibilism mental model) is lifted up {dangling in mid-air}, offering no support, and his {right hand} (the Eternalism mental model) points down to the {ground}, which provides firm support for self-control cybernetic stability in the mushroom-induced, loose cognitive association state.

In the loose cognitive state, the mind can perceive and experience God’s power, as the hidden, uncontrollable source and creator of control-thoughts, embedded in the non-branching spacetime block.

The Reproducibility Crisis in Science

But there’s no reproducibility crisis in Loose Cognitive Science.

https://www.britannica.com/science/scientific-method
I’m not seeing anything in this schoolboys’ version of How Science Works, re: confirmation by other independent scientists.  I thought that was part of the deal eg per Ken Wilber “Eye to Eye” article.

Neither does this schoolboy-science article have a “test for Reproducibility” step. Is this why Science has a Reproducibility Crisis?
https://www.thoughtco.com/steps-of-the-scientific-method-p2-606045

Why doesn’t the main “Scientific Method” article at wiki have a robust “Test for Repoducibility step? Is this near-total omission why Science has a Reproducibility Crisis?

wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method#Communication_and_community
But whoa, almost nothing in this main article about duplication in other labs!? What gives?
“Frequently the scientific method is employed not only by a single person but also by several people cooperating directly or indirectly. Such cooperation can be regarded as an important element of a scientific community. Various standards of scientific methodology are used within such an environment.

Peer review evaluation
Scientific journals use a process of peer review, in which scientists’ manuscripts are submitted by editors [weak! no running experiments?] of scientific journals to (usually one to three, and usually anonymous) fellow scientists familiar with the field for evaluation. [weak! expected “re-run experiment”] ……

Documentation and replication [this section starts w/ following statement & link:]
… Main article: Reproducibility [<– what I’m looking for is in this other article. Why so little about Reproducibility in the main article? The main article continues:]
Sometimes experimenters may make systematic errors during their experiments, veer from standard methods and practices (Pathological science) for various reasons, or, in rare cases, deliberately report false results. [Wasson censoring Brinckmann’s book about musrhoom trees?] Occasionally [what?? but there’s a whole other article on this, saying it’s important! wtf] because of this then, other scientists might attempt to repeat the experiments in order to duplicate the results.”

Forget that main article.  This article dedicated to Reproducibility contradicts that main article: it says this is a very important step.  Isn’t this step, or process, or check, a main normal part of the schoolboy “The Scientific Method”?  Confused.  

Ah well, the whole thing is b.s. anyways.  As they say themselves, “the replication crisis”.  I expect us to have better replication than them!  🙂   After all, Loose Cognitive Science (loosecog switching from Possibilism to Eternalism) is the original Science Confirmation Test Corroboration of Truth.  Hard Science just tries to dumbly ape that true Science of the Gods which we do in alchemy labs.

Here’s the real article about it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducibility
“Reproducibility is a major principle of the scientific method. [not according to the weak main article!] It means that a result obtained by an experiment or observational study should be achieved again with a high degree of agreement when the study is replicated with the same methodology by different researchers. Only after one or several such successful replications should a result be recognized as scientific knowledge. [my emph]
…
The terms replicability and repeatability are used in the context of reproducibility, see below.

In recent decades, there has been a rising concern that many published scientific results fail the test of reproducibility, evoking a reproducibility or replicability crisis.

lol – crisis? have you tried prayer, sacrifice, and putting trust in higher controller?

Confirming My Experiment Results

2 images, which I saw years before, but didn’t take an aggressive and persistent decoding mentality, just fell open to me. It is striking, how this works. I feel as if I was relatively blind and dull-eyed, before now, when looking half-dumbly at these images before.

This is big, bigger than mytheme-illiterate who cannot Read these images. 

This is a new, full, coherent reading of the Salamander bestiary image, in terms of Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism, mytheme decoding (a clearer, stronger “Mythemeland” frame of mind than before), and especially branching-assessment of images.

I’m writing up my leading-edge discoveries in realtime on the World-Wide Web (within the ‘Criteria’ article) — a new technology, which is cool.

Mytheme decoding is of more ultimate importance than the Rosetta stone because it gets to understanding gnosis.

This mytheme decoding type of work rests on the basis of the Rosetta Stone type of work, sitting at a higher level, achieving full decoding to directly identify the referent: mythemes describe Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism.

It’s weird to me and very significant that I before, failed to (fully) Read these images. 

During the first decoding pass a few years ago, I was busy making initial progress: affirming it’s a mushroom (I never hestitated on this), and speculating (with a lesser degree of confidence) that the man who someone else thought was “dancing”, was rather, standing on one leg, lifting the other leg in the air, meaning “Eternalism mental model”.

In the first decoding pass, around 2015, I had a weaker degree of confidence about that “leg” decoding.

I failed yet to map to salamander (still seen as if plural) next to — what I didn’t attempt to think about in the first pass of decoding — the branching stem of the mushroom.

I was still largely visually dumb, clueless, now I’m not but am embarrassed I looked w/ such dulled eyes b4.  Had to aggressively use “the diamond hammer of interpretation “– do an assertive, dedicated, branching analysis, together with the “Mythemeland” frame of mind.

One big change was that this time, I cross-decoded two 1-leg images in tandem.

I feel same way about failing before, to reason-through to Positively Identify Amanita as tiger-watering bowl. 

I had to get in the right “Reading Mindset” to read mythemeland and crop and put the 2 pics together (same Amanita photo I think on Strange Fruit cover, next to the wonderful Dionysus Triumph, bottom middle, the dog-watering bowl.  

Of course it’s Amanita!  The only 1 odd misfit is, the dog-watering bowl has a lip (ring), not sure if some upturned Amanitas have that, maybe if it hyper-curls up so the fins are almost pulled on top of the cap?? Ignore that ring, and it’s an *exact* match.  

Of course the stem/bowl-diameter is not *exactly* the same proportion, but no 2 specimens are *identical*.  I seen lots of them firsthand. 

The proportions are “within range” of, like electronic parts, 10% variance. 

My point about dog-watering bowl identi’n is, I had a sorry, unsure, wrong mindset, until a couple days ago, now it is reached Certainty.  What changed?  Why am I more fluent, more literate at reading books in mythemeland, than I was before?

I couldn’t read the images before (except, I was correct, ~2015 or whenever I read Roasting Salamander article, about 1 foot.  I had some doubts, but less and less, and less and less doubts b/c Coherence — I’m literally making predictions of what I’ll see when I re-look at pics. 

I could barely read them, now a simple Coherent Interp the 2 images (like others the past days) are falling open to me, a series of Observation -> Hypoth -> Predict -> Confirmation (however, I’m very skeptical about that schoolboy theory of “The Scientific Method”).

Too hot jackpot to fix typos.  Onward!

I feel embarrassed that I was lame about these 2 images before, I looked at them with dull eyes, I didn’t know “how to think” about them, “how to perform an assessment” — WHY NOT?  what lacking?  I failed to do a BRANCHING ANALYSIS.  I couldn’t even come up w/ hypotheses before! when lacking BRANCHING ANALYSIS.

A weird thing is, implausible coincidences, (a “sign”?) – I’m picking pics that are supposedly very different, but then, very improbably, discovering major, key, important things so similar — “structurally” in terms of Egodeath interpretation – that I am forced to crop portions and the two images.

Decoding 2 images in tandem, like November 2013, the 2 images (Campbell’s Power of Myth Eden tree & Douris Jason Athena serpent kylix on front cover of myth book) — are essential to shine light on each other. 

I have to use — of random pair I happened to have — I have to use key elements in both these pics.

Other labs can run same decoding experiment to check the same analytical perspective, perform the same analysis.  Like grade-school “how scientists corroborate ‘The Sci Method’ results.”

Independent Scientists, am I full of it? 

Are my Experiment Results Reproducible in your labs? 

Are my lab glasses contaminated and blurry? 

Need branching analysis. 

The funniest finding earlier: the very factors that make dimwit rejects these as Psilocybe, are precisely the Message that proves that they ARE entheogenic.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BRANCHING and the fact that the artist “bends” away from natural shape, to do oddball things w/ branching, PROVES that these are entheogenic.  They have it backwards!

Depictions of analogies that describe the physical form of the mushroom.

Stylized semi-literalistic depiction; a stylized, modified mushroom shape, such as a tree, grape bunch, chalice bowl, garment fold, umbrella, or vial designed to look like Amanita.

Cross-representation: Amanita means or represents Psilocybe, more than it represents ingesting Amanita. Amanita is an honorary Psilocybe.

https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/24/lesser-greater-mysteries-teaching-then-initiating/

WE HAVE SOLVED THE MYSTERY RELIGIONS.

We can essentially explain purification to approach the Goddess.

We need more attention to the preparatory Lesser Mysteries, what was taught, book learning, as prerequisite for first-hand ingesting the mushrooms, in mystery religions.

Literal Depiction of Amanita in Art Is a Cross-Representation; It Is a Stylized Depiction Representing Psilocybe

Lesser & Greater Mysteries: Teaching then Initiating
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/24/lesser-greater-mysteries-teaching-then-initiating/

Stop mentioning entheogens other than psilocybin mushrooms, in this context; it just confuses the plain matter.

Amanita is most notable for its shapes and colors. It’s an Honorary Psilocybe representation.

–> Amanita represents Psilocybe.

Scholars’ Failure to Debate Mushrooms in Christian Art
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/20/scholars-failure-to-debate-mushrooms-in-christian-art/

Dumb-as-an-ox and then Even-dumber-than-an-ox pissed me off bad enough to firmly settle the matter (by writing the Canterbury article).  

What very little Dumb-as-an-ox says in his latest book, about the topic of mushrooms in Greek and Christian art, is a solid wall of mistakes; and hopelessly confused, garbled position statements, not worth rebutting.

Why does he think he knows enough to write anything about this topic of mushrooms in Greek & Christian art?  He doesn’t know anything about the subject.  He doesn’t know the difference between a krater and a cista mystica.

Any further denial of mushrooms in Greek & Christian art, I now consider to be a hostile cover-up attempt to try to hide the undeniably obvious, not a real position to take seriously.  

Actual serious entheogen scholars are moving the field forward, regarding the most important topic: mushrooms in Greek & Christian art, regardless of the clown posse, Brinckmann/ Panofsky/ Wasson/ Dumb-as-an-ox/ Even dumber-than-an-ox.

Counter to Therapists’ Hubristic Claims to Out-do Mystery Religions: Initiation Prep (Lesser Mysteries) Derived from Crossing Mushroom/Sword Decoding with Muraresku’s Chicken-Out-While-Bragging-to-the-Heavens, Hubristic Claims of “safety/ most cautious; reliability/ effectively; scalability/ most number”

The following subsection, I inserted [7:56 a.m. November 18, 2020]:

😱

as the Chorus, I can’t bear to watch;
shielding my eyes and averting the wrathful gaze
of the madness-inducing fury of the gods
as they strike him down, King Muraresku

Gods, please do not strike me down; I bow to you; I honor you; I sacrifice to you, Zeus Meilichios, all-powerful over my control-thoughts. 🙏🐍🐉

Muraresku wrote the sleazy, evasive, chicken-out-while-bragging-to-the-heavens word “a profound”.

My own wording here, “the very highest“, is a slap-down retort to Muraresku’s chicken-out, he brags while also leaving himself the wuss-out option, a covert manipulative, sneaky, deceitful “out”:
“I merely claimed to provide “a” profound experience, not “the very most” profound experience.”

Muraresku wrote:

“Delivering a profound mystical experience in the most cautious way possible, as effectively as possible, to the most number of people possible.”

Against his feeble, chicken-out-while-bragging-to-the-heavens wording, I wrote (condensed; emphasis in my original):

“The method presented covers safety, reliability, and scalability, to deliver the most profound, the very highest religious breakthrough mystical experience.”

Excerpt from Cyberdisciple’s page

Cyberdisciple writes:

Muraresku’s modernist stance is apparent on p. 387, where he praises the “psychopharmacologists and clinical psychiatrists at Hopkins and NYU” for “somehow doing what the Greek and Christian Mysteries were never able to accomplish in antiquity.” And how, in the eyes of this self-satisfied modernist, have they advanced on the ancients? Muraresku goes on:

Today’s scientists have now solved the critical flaws of the religion with no name: safety, reliability, and scalability. Delivering a profound mysterical [mystical?] experience in the most cautious way possible, as effectively as possible, to the most number of people possible. The technology is all there: a safe, pharmaceutical-grade hallucinogen and a finely-tuned protocol that maximizes spiritual breakthrough while minimising risk.

The hubris of Muraresku and the therapists! Muraresku’s entire historical depiction of ‘the religion with no name’ is a mere foil to justify how it has been improved upon by modern technology and ‘protocol.’ The historical study serves only to support the already set agenda of the therapists. Despite the book’s marketing, this is not the work of a serious scholar or student of history.

The method presented in the image, and spelled-out in plain English in this article, covers safety, reliability, and scalability, to deliver the most profound, the very highest religious breakthrough mystical experience — as routinely done, delivering spiritual regeneration on-tap, in the various ancient Mystery Initiation traditions:

o Caution and Safety — This approach leads up to full control-seizure and mental model transformation in the most cautious and safe way possible.

o Reliability and Effectiveness — This approach provides the classic regeneration experience as effectively and reliably as possible; routinely on-tap.

o Scalability and Availability — This approach makes the cybernetic seizure and regeneration experience available and accessible to the most people, the greatest number of people possible.

The method encoded and communicated in this package-deal “mushroom, sword, and non-branching” image, is immediately and freely available to everyone who can understand and endure control-seizure and the sacrifice and purification of the childhood mental structures.

Here is my counter, scoop, rebuttal, retort, or real-deal response to the Hopkins/NYU therapy model of psychedelics initiation.

btw this method is FREE AND OPEN for everyone, and it’s based on TIME-TESTED Greek and Christian TRADITION.

My explanation supplements and leverages that proven tradition, rather than bragging about accomplishing what that tradition allegedly failed to do according to the HUBRIS-polluted outsiders who are unwittingly summoning the Furies of the Gods.

Day 5? of Decoding Canterbury Mushroom/Sword Image

What is this, Day 5? Of explaining the image, Canterbury mushroom tree leg hanging above sword. I added to the Proof article (see that for any later rewording:

oh wait, double check I’ve covered the 3 bragging points of the psilocybin therapy clinics.

“the first psychedelic prescription medicine for restricted clinical applications: addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, end-of-life distress. But you wouldn’t just pick it up for personal use. The prescription would probably be linked to a regulated center, with a licensed team that can administer the drug in a safe, therapeutic setting. …

“And then after nationwide FDA rescheduling of psilocybin, I can envision regulated centers all over the country – from fairly secluded to inner-city settings, and everywhere in between. Where one could visit for a week or two. There’d be a regimen of psychotherapy, of course. But there could also be adjunct modalities like mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and healthy cuisine in a comfortable, spa-like setting. There would be one or two psilocybin sessions with well-trained clinical teams. And then you go back home. Just like Eleusis.”

On p.387 Muraresku praises the “psychopharmacologists and clinical psychiatrists at Hopkins and NYU” for “somehow doing what the Greek and Christian Mysteries were never able to accomplish in antiquity.”

Cyberdisciple writes: “And how, in the eyes of this self-satisfied modernist, have they advanced on the ancients? Muraresku goes on:”

“Today’s scientists have now solved the critical flaws of the religion with no name: safety, reliability, and scalability. Delivering a[??] profound mysterical experience in the most cautious way possible, as effectively as possible, to the most number of people possible. The technology is all there: a safe, pharmaceutical-grade hallucinogen and a finely-tuned protocol that maximizes spiritual breakthrough while minimising risk.”

What a freaking ignorant foolish braggart, what outrageous, furies-inducing HUBRIS!!! to think that his camp has solved the problem of control-seizure and mental model transformation, that antiquity had not, in Greek and in Christian initiation methods. What a boastful ignoramus, certainly headed for a crash, to be struck down in a frenzy by the gods.

“Today’s scientists have now solved the critical flaws of the religion with no name: 
1 – safety, 
2 – reliability, and 
3 – scalability.
“Delivering a profound mystical experience
1 – in the most cautious [safe] way possible,

3 – to the most number of people possible.
“The technology is all there: a safe, pharmaceutical-grade hallucinogen and a finely-tuned protocol that maximizes spiritual breakthrough while minimising risk.

I incorp’d those 3 claims/brags FOR REAL, FOR FREE, FOR EVERYONE

f anyone who thinks this is bad writing! If you don’t think this is the most interestting thing in the world, adding peak interest value to the Intro section of this article, you are brain-dead. I had a bit of a block to deal with, around dismissing “freewill-thinking”. I ended up *controlling the framing* of it, by putting the phrase WITHIN “a branching model of time”. Don’t just say “trash-can freewill-thinking” — you instantly lost 90% of the audience. Say “trash-can freewill-thinking that’s within a possibilities-branching model”.

Here’s the problem paragraph:

The mind’s initial, childhood-suited thinking is based on the premise of having and wielding the power of control to steer within a tree of branching possibilities; freewill-premised thinking within a presumed branching model of time and possibility.

The article says HERE’S THE DEAL: YOU CAN HAVE MUSHROOMS ALL THORUGHOUT ART, AND YOU CAN HAVE MUSHROOMS REEPEAL PROHIBITOION, BUT, THE PRICE TO PAY IS, YOU HAVE TO LEARN Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism , YOU HAVE TO LEARN MYSTERY RELIGION, YOU HAVE TO SACRIFICE FREEWILL THINKING AND BRANCHING POSSIBILIES PRESUMPTION.

writeup of that, to add to start of article: [done; see article for latest edits]:

passage copied from article:

This revelatory article presents the following non-negotiable package deal from on high, from the transcendent structures in the mind:

You can have mushrooms all throughout our Greek and Christian art and culture throughout history, and you can have the full repeal of mushroom Prohibition, but, the price you have to be willing to pay is your {beloved first-born child}, mythically speaking; that is, the price to pay is:

o You have to learn Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism; the Egodeath theory; the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence, as laid out in the plainest, most direct English here.

o You have to learn religious mythology, as well-represented in Greek and Christian Mystery Religion.

o You have to sacrifice freewill thinking within a branching-possibilities presumption.

The 4 sections I added to the Intro/ Proof Claims section of the Proof article:

passage copied from article, see latest Proof Canterbury article for edits: — i moved at least 1 of the below sections to form a Section (chapter) about trad’l safe initiation requirements.

The Entire Canterbury Mushroom Sword Image Is a Cybernetic Control-Seizure Mechanism that Only Works if Mushroom-Powered

The mushroom tree is depicted within the flow of this image, in such a way as to make the image serve as a system, a transcendent communication and message, a device; a labyrinth mechanism which pulls-in and pulls upward the mind’s self-control system.

The image is a message from on high, from the altered-state mode of God-aware loose cognition, that draws the mind into self-testing, and leads the mind toward its mature potential for controlled cybernetic control-seizure of self-transcendence.

Following and tracing the message that is communicated in this religious image, inexorably culminates in the sacrificial self-cancellation of the mind’s incoherent, childhood-suited illusion about personal control power that’s based on a naive, incoherent branching-possibilities model of time and control, premised on confused, irrational thinking.

The mind’s initial, childhood-suited thinking is based on the premise of having and wielding the power of control to steer within a tree of branching possibilities; freewill-premised thinking within a presumed branching model of time and possibility.

This image incorporates the mushroom tree in a very specific, particular way, together with God’s sword of self-control death; {God} referring to the hidden, uncontrollable source of the mind’s control-thoughts.

The mushroom tree with the sword, sets up the sword as a stability condition; conditional stability; personal control in the mushroom-induced altered state is stable and viable if the mind contains and relies on the requisite model of time and control: the non-branching model, per Eternalism.

The sword in this image is packaged together with the mushroom tree, along with the {left limb} versus {right limb} contrast that is mapped to {branching} vs. {non-branching} thinking.

The sword and the “branching vs. non-branching” condition that are presented in this image are packaged together with the mushroom tree that’s of interest, forming a message-encoding that is corroborated by the explicit form of the pink key-tree.

The pink key-tree explicitly indicates that viable stability of personal control in the mushroom-induced altered state conditionally depends on which model of time, possibility, and control the mind uses: branching (not viable; perishable) or non-branching (viable and durable).

The Depicted Method of Mushroom-Mysteries Provides Safety, Reliability, and Scalability

This image establishes the requirements for teachers, students, and initiation guides, to relatively safely use mushrooms to head toward what outsiders call “the shadow”, which specifically is, transcendent cybernetic control seizure, and sacrifice of the childhood-suited illusion that’s built into the branching-possibilities model of time and control.

The method presented in the image, and spelled-out in plain English in this article, covers safety, reliability, and scalability, to deliver the most profound, the very highest religious breakthrough mystical experience — as routinely done, delivering spiritual regeneration on-tap, in the various ancient Mystery Initiation traditions:

o Caution and Safety — This approach leads up to full control-seizure and mental model transformation in the most cautious and safe way possible.

o Reliability and Effectiveness — This approach provides the classic regeneration experience as effectively and reliably as possible; routinely on-tap.

o Scalability and Availability — This approach makes the cybernetic seizure and regeneration experience available and accessible to the most people, the greatest number of people possible.

The method encoded and communicated in this package-deal “mushroom, sword, and non-branching” image, is immediately and freely available to everyone who can understand and endure control-seizure and the sacrifice and purification of the childhood mental structures.

Initiation preserves the childhood mental structures intact, fully usable, and without any harm; just identifying, separating, and putting away childhood illusion, while gaining the Eternalism model of thinking about time and control.

With this article and image in hand, everyone who is able, can now sacrifice and move beyond the childhood mental structures that were taken as if metaphysically real, while yet fully preserving these required, treasured and beloved mental structures, without any harm.

These preliminary requirements for caution and safety; reliability and effectiveness; and scalable efficacy exactly fit the pattern of the Lesser and Greater Mysteries of Eleusis.

In Mystery Religion initiation on the pattern of Eleusis and depicted in the class teaching and testing scene in the upper left of this image, candidates are first instructed on theoretical book learning of the meaning of mythology as description of personal control seizure and transformation.

Only after that completed education in the ordinary state, the candidates for initiation who pass the examination, can become full-on initiates, who are prepared and ready to engage in entheogenic, real-world, in-practice, first-hand experience, of the experiences which are described, or encoded for communication, by analogies in religious mythology.

Religious mythology depicts the loose cognitive association that is reliably and strongly produced only by entheogens, a state that produces mental dynamics that are described as mania, frenzy, or rapture by the power of the Holy Spirit.

This Holy Spirit mania state, produced by ingesting the sacred meal of mushrooms provided by God, leads the mind to access its innate structure and climax potential of self-probing and control-testing, that inexorably leads to the sacrifice of childhood-suited, temporary, transient, perishable thinking, and regeneration of the mind regarding the mental model of control, possibility, and time.

This image is a mushroom-powered cybernetic control seizure mechanism, that only works if powered and activated by psychoactive mushrooms — thus proving that the mushroom tree depicted must be Psilocybe.

This same perspective from on high, above the mind’s cybernetic self-control system and getting a good look at it, likewise proves that all the other mushroom images in this Psalter and throughout Greek and Christian art are also representations of psychoactive mushrooms, whether the images match Psilocybe, Liberty Cap, or Amanita, in their various outward shapes, textures, and colors.

Simply Move Aside the Cover-up to Reveal the Blatantly Obvious, Now Bolstered with Comprehension of the Patterns Depicted by Mythic Imagery

This proof presented in this article shows that there has been, in effect, something like a cover-up, to make the entire world of religious scholars blind to the blatant, explicit, obvious, more-or-less literal presence of mushroom depictions all throughout Greek and Christian art.

We merely need to ignore the cries of objection from the Brinckmann/ Panofsky/ Wasson camp, those on the outside, to remove and simply move aside the cover-up and then we can easily, plainly, readily recognize that mushroom trees, and mushroom thickets, and branching and non-branching mushroom shapes and forms in Christian art, of course represent psychoactive mushrooms. Why would anyone have thought otherwise?

The brilliant, genius conclusion that in religious, mystical, mythical art, images of mushrooms represent mushrooms (shocking; who would’ve thought!), is obvious when we consider the matter sensibly from the perspective of mythemes that describe by analogies, the mind’s high potential to test itself and transform its mental model.

The mind’s built-in potential to test and challenge and probe its power over its own self-control-thoughts while in the loose cognitive state, produces regeneration into the adult form of thinking.

The adult form of thinking is characterized by non-branching possibilities per the Eternalism model of time and control, as asserted by the pink key-tree and {left & right limb usage or non-usage} when the mind’s control-system is placed precariously above the sword of God which is attached to this mushroom tree.

The adult form of thinking is conformant with the loose cognitive association state that is produced by ingesting psychoactive mushrooms, a state which reveals and makes perceptible God’s higher power of control over the mind and personal control system.

Here Is the Deal Which Mushrooms and the Mind’s Structures Offer

This revelatory article explaining this mushroom tree image which includes a sword and non-branching and an entire profound graphic storyline context, presents the following non-negotiable package deal from on high.

This is the deal that is offered by the transcendent structures in the mind, and by the inherent nature of what the mushroom experience itself ultimately reveals:

o You can have mushrooms all throughout broadly Greek and Christian art and culture throughout history.

o You can have the full repeal of mushroom Prohibition.

The price you have to be willing to pay is your {beloved first-born child-self}, mythically speaking by using analogies.

The price you have to be willing to pay is:

o You have to learn Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism; the Egodeath theory; the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence, as laid out in the plainest, most direct English here, assisted by the Psalter image.

o You have to learn religious mythology, as well-represented in Greek and Christian Mystery Religion including this Psalter image that is explained plainly here.

o You have to sacrifice freewill thinking within a branching-possibilities presumption, as explained and instructed in the image and in this article.

As the monk artists would say:

Whether or not you elect to accept this proposed deal, is up to God.

Changed Interpretation from “Bible Scribe” to “Bible Reader” or “Psalter Viewer”

Rewrite of the “Bible reader” as “Psalter image viewer”

[8:07 p.m. November 23, 2020]

Resulting rewrite after modif’s of previous log entry (I deleted that rewrite): It is good.

I hate leaving myself open to someone saying “You missed this really, really good point you could have made. The biggest game, and you fricking missed it. Dumber than an ox.”

I had failed to capture the self-reference vibe of the image, without this rewrite, and important whole-image tie-in with the teacher testing the student, going, “Are you sure you understand the ram-ifications? Are you ready for the real deal cyber-voyage? Same guy as Mr. Too-Inspired Bible reader/Image Viewer. and guide — got all that, and cleaned up the slop.

I won’t comment, in this passage, on the happy cybercide upside-down guy, earning his space, serving a functional comic role. high irony (not quite the right word)

Voila:

Hyper-Inspired Psalter Reader with Self-Testing and Self-Mercy

The Psalter reader in the peak intense altered state views this image.

Five figures focus on the hyper-inspired Psalter image viewer:
o The bow man with arrowhead inches away from the Psalter image viewer’s head.
o The sword man, who is unsheathing or re-sheathing his sword.
o The bow man who is relenting, backing off, and breaking his bow.
o {charitable mercy and good judgment}.

The Psalter image viewer is the same man as the initiation guide, who is reassuring and en-couraging the uneasy maiden, who is the viewer of this image.

The teacher is testing the student’s thinking. The teacher is the same man as the Psalter image viewer, who is testing his own thinking.

The mind stably relies only on the {right leg}, which is, Eternalism-thinking, about time, possibility, and control.

The mind’s self-control is put to the test, but reasonably judges, with {charitable mercy based on good judgment}, relenting and breaking the bow, upon purging the illusion of branching possibilities: {left leg}, Naive-Possibilism-thinking.

The viewer of this image in the Psalter, is shown within this image, viewing the Psalter, and thinking about the meaning of the red initiate above him hanging by the {right leg only}, on mushrooms, above God’s sword, while the viewer’s mind {unsheathes the sword of sacrifice} and at the same time, pleads the case for {charitable mercy and good judgment} for the viewer’s mind and well-being.

The mystic reader (as the red initiate) {breaks his bow} (he backs off from self-control system violation), and receives the thought, the transcendent message, like the {angel} said of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his {child} Isaac, which would prevent God’s promise of health and fecundity from coming true:

The angelic thought is sent into the mind: “This mind has demonstrated right, coherent thinking about personal control. For an appropriate, blessed sacrifice that matches this correct, coherent thinking, here is a ram that got himself trapped helplessly in a thicket.”

The {sacrifice of the ram} is the Bible paradigm of sacrifice that sustains life unharmed; yielding corrected, blessed thinking about control and time.

Genesis 22:12-13 (KJV) —

“he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.”

From folio 12 of the Psalter.
https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f12.item.zoom

Abraham then sacrificed the ram on the altar of {rocks} (block universe), and Abraham and his child-thinking walked away unharmed and healthy, yet thinking rightly about control and time.

Mushroom Sword Image Reveals There’s Been a Big Cover-up of Mushrooms in Christianity

[6:05 p.m. November 23, 2020] – After writing Requirements [for initiation, sections, copied-out as sep article too]

Huge number of theory reconnections – it’s a breakthrough. Can I articulate what the breakthrough is? Discovering that there’s been a massive cover-up. That this stuff was down to a routine, in Greek & Christian religion — then was suppressed and denied, strongly so by 1906/1952/1970. We’re un-doing the cover-up, blowing its cover, THAT is the nature of the hard work at hand. All doubt is gone, I see what’s going on now. Putting the blown-apart puzzle’s pieces back together agains and of course they fit readily right together, everything is falling into place, the initiation systems, make sense.

We are now on the downhill stretch. I’m now fluent on how the Mysteries work. It’s just detail, fleshing-out this explnatory paradigm. The Image (= Canterbury hard to type)

Definition: “the Image” means “the Canterbury Psalter mushroom-tree hanging by one leg over God’s sword + inspired alt-state Bible reader unsheathing his sword against himself while {charitable mercy and good judgment} plead their case in his mind – he is the red initiate’s actual body location.

It’s the viewer, sitting reading the Bible Psalter looking at the Image, shown reading the Bible within the Image.

Escher is hanging from the tree by one leg, it shows in the Bible within the picture.

The Bible is the center heart of the picture, and the reader: the viewer is tied to the Reader in the picture, and, the Psalter that you’re reading, is tied to the picture of the bible within the image.

You reading the Image, is shown in the image as, the Reader reading the Bible.

I didn’t capture this in the Proof Article–.

.. ok, added:

The viewer of this image in the Psalter, is shown within this image in the Psalter, which shows the altered-state Profoundly Concerned Reader reading the Bible (all myths are “you”) looking at a picture, showing reading the Bible… and thinking about the meaning of the red initiate above him hanging by the {right leg only}, on mushrooms, above God’s sword, while the reader’s mind — the viewer’s mind — {unsheathes the sword of sacrifice} and at the same time, pleads the case for {charitable mercy and good judgment} for the reader’s mind and well-being; for the viewer’s mind and well-being.

You could refer to him as “the Psaltar image viewer”, would be better. Instad of “the altered-state Bible reader”. the Psalter viewer in the altered state”

change:

the altered-state Bible reader

to:

“the Psalter viewer in the altered state”

Done. A bit of repetitaion, but hey that’s Bible 4 u: new passage/reworked:

notice CENTER OF ATTENTION from other eyes: Maiden at banquet table = center of eyes’ attention = the altered-state Psalter reader.

Also I didn’t work-in “testing”.

The teacher is “testing” the student, and the teacher is same guy as the Psalter reader, who is “testing” his thinking.

kinda should add that. done.

Do invnstory — who is looking at who? Plot the vectors. Student is being looked at by teacher

dumb guy looked at by oxen

Maiden is looked at by Guide, Father, co-initiate/spir’l brother.

5 ppl look at Psalter reader! a record. He is the center of focus of the image.

done: add that. lo pri. my framing/crop already sets-up that realization.

Email to Christian Ratsch Asking Him to Read Brinckmann’s Book in German and Summarize His Argument

[2:43 p.m. November 23, 2020] – Email to Ratsch re: Brinckmann

I emailed a contact to ask Christian Ratsch to evaluate Brinckmann’s book.

Hi Christian, 

Could you please read Brinckmann’s book in German and do a critical summary or review?  

In English, or possibly in German so I can use machine translation on your assessment.

This book is important for the Wasson vs. Allegro dispute about the Plaincourault Amanita mushroom tree.  

Dr. Jerry Brown (book: The Psychedelic Gospels) and I need to know about this book’s argument.

My Questions:
o  On what basis does Brinkmann argue that mushroom-trees in Christian art are trees but not mushrooms?  
o  What is his conclusion and his argument?  
o  What is the scope of his theory or the question which he treats?
o  Does he claim that mushroom trees represent trees but not mushrooms?
o  What about mushrooms in Christian art that are not in the form of trees: are we to dismiss those, too, and deny all mushrooms in Christian art? 
On what basis; on what argument?

Brinkmann is wrong, if he claims that mushroom trees represent trees but not mushrooms (or if he claims there are no mushrooms in Christian art).

This book has been used to block research in the field, since 1906 (Brinckmann) or 1952 (Panofsky, top art historian) or 1970 (Allegro/Wasson dispute).

I have written a lot of material on the mushroom-tree debate.  For example:

Wasson censored the citation of this book, omitting it (in the book SOMA) from Panofsky’s 1952 letter.

This book by Brinckmann (1906) is central to the Wasson vs. Allegro debate about the Plaincourault Amanita mushroom tree, that’s been blocking the field since 1952.

Please read and critique Brinckmann’s argument, which tries to explain-away and deny mushrooms in Christian art.

I’ve messaged Hanegraaff:

I downloaded your article because:

Have to see if the future study of religion includes entheogens, and how such inclusion is justified, for entheogens and what they reveal such a block universe non-control and frozen personal worldlines, hyper-Calvinism, and no-free-will.

Deniers of mushrooms in Greek & Christian art are attempting a cover-up; they can’t be taken seriously.

{fatal snake-bite}, Cool Psalter Image of Moses’ {Healing Serpent on a Pole} (Debranched Tree)

[10:57 a.m. November 23, 2020]

Snake on a debranched tree; serpent on a pole to cure fatal worldline-snakebite:
A serpent is Eternalism-shaped; a de-branched tree is also.
A branching tree would be Possibilism-shaped, which is incorrect.

https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f13.item.zoom

Lesson: Studying, seeing, experiencing, and explicitly comprehending Eternalism “cures” the self-control seizure from seeing Eternalism, which those on the outside fear as the guarding dragon, which they don’t even recognize and they just inarticulately call “the shadow”. They’d do much better to call it “the dragon” than “the shadow”.

Beginners say “the shadow”. They hardly even see the treasure of gnosis. They aren’t fully bitten by snakebite yet.

Intermediates say “the dragon” but cannot endure and get past it, to obtain the treasure of gnosis. They are bitten by fatal snakebite, and not yet cured; the serpent on a pole is not publicly displayed for them to learn.

Advanced say “the dragon” and can endure and get past it, to obtain the treasure of gnosis. They were bitten by fatal snakebite, and are now cured; the serpent on a pole is publicly displayed for them to learn and understand. These are {the chosen; the Israelites}.

Comment at Cyb’s – Don’t Waste Time on Minimal Mushroom Scholars

[8:47 a.m. November 23, 2020]

https://cyberdisciple.wordpress.com/2020/11/17/moving-on-from-muraresku-the-immortality-key/?unapproved=2381&moderation-hash=c263cd8f7c7d5b1c2fd7e8dd436ba85d#comment-2381

I propose an attitude of haughty dismissal and firm ignoring, as ignorant idiots, the minimalists — anyone who maintains “no mushrooms in Greek & Christian art/practice/culture”.

I would not waste my time debating with them.

They prove themselves ignorant, unqualified, and beyond reasoning with. They are nothing but a drag on the field, not a contribution.

They can’t even articulate what their muddle-headed “position” is.

https://confidenceandjoy.com/dumber-than-an-ox/

Dumber-than-an-ox’s book has no coverage of mushrooms in Greek or Christian art, and what little he writes is a SOLID WALL OF MISTAKES AND CONFUSED WRITING.

The field has left them behind, as Copernicus has left Ptolemy behind.

I only communicate with sensible, reasonable people.

Dumber-than-an-ox was not worthy of debating Brown, in the video lecture-hall presentation.

I’ve only watched part of it — I cannot bear the painful clownish embarrassment he’s loading onto himself in that farcical performance of “look how infinitely dense I can be”.

Shall I debate someone who thinks the moon is made of cheese?

His is not a serious view, and he is a WASTE OF TIME. I wash my hands of him; he’s nothing but a joke, on this topic.

I now see the whole thing, the Minimalist view, as (for all practical purposes, and maybe literally, too) a HOSTILE COVER-UP of the rather obvious, even plainly obvious, truth. The Minimalists are GASLIGHTING — “These psychedelic mushrooms throughout art are not psychedelic mushrooms.”

This pencil is not a pencil. Up is Down. True is False.

Ok, gibbering morons, am I to debate an imbecile, or a liar?

No Time to Look at Other Psalter Images – First One Seen Is Isaac’s {Mushroom-Ram in Mushroom-Thicket}!

[7:06 a.m. November 23, 2020]

https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f12.item.zoom

Yikes, kinda sorry to say [b/c I can’t right now dive into this pile of top-rate fully confirming evidence and beautiful high, OBVIOUS mushroom art that’s been LIED ABOUT and DENIED], it looks like the Psalter is packed with the 3 types of evidence: from memory:

literal depictions of mushrooms
stylized depictions of mushrooms
depictions of mushroom effects

I got those phrases right, matching below.

I’m not specifically happy that there are more mushrooms; I already know that.

But I’m happy because the very first page I looked at, the first image to meet my eye, on another page, praise the Lord, is a long-shot that I was trying to link to the Bible reader image in the hanging-mushroom image —

The mind’s self-control system in the loose cognitive state is like a ram caught by its own struggling power become powerless, in a branching mushroom tree.

The ram has mushroom horns.

and here it is, not only a ram caught in a thicket, but a ram caught in a mushroom-thicket, which ALSO corroborates my long time hypothesis that THE THICKET OF THE RAM IS EQUIVALENT TO KING IN A *TREE*;

THAT THE RAM CAUGHT IN A “THICKET” , THAT “THICKET” IN the story of Isaac IS TO BE THOUGHT OF AS A BRANCHING TREE FORM. I’m getting TRIPLE-QUADRUPLE-PENSEXTAL CONFIRMATION SIMULTANEOUSLY:

o stylized and literal mushrooms in other pages

o confirms “you are the ram”, which I am therefore no longer hesitant to say; because initiate is in peril in msh-tree, and this ram is in a mushroom-thicket, and msh-thicket = mushroom-tree, all the connections close the circle and confirm: therefore initiate = ram.

— which “gets burned”, which is true, in the mystic sense: you do have to burn a ram; that’s what already happened at the peak zap — your inner caught-ram got burnt entirely, you are now transformed and set right, the ram’s been toasted already, same as the salamander in the bestiary.

Dumber-than-an-ox ended up roasting himself; that’s how it goes, with ego death.

[keyboard macro spit out accidently:

Religious mythology is description-by-analogy of repeatedly taking psychedelics, producing transformation of the experiential mental worldmodel from Literalist Ordinary-state Possibilism to Analogical Psychedelic Preexistence <– not “Eternalism”, because I was looking for a non-technical term ]

o depictions of mushroom experiencing eg rock, snake, non-branching, sword, sacrifice, crisis, unsheathing blade, mercy / relenting.

o ram’s thicket indeed = branching tree

o Not only that, but also, this shows the angel pointing to the ram — filling in a gap — which I feared was missing from the Bible text; the text doesn’t say that the angel said to sacrifice the ram. The angel never tells Abraham to harm the ram! So I was vindicated yesterday in preaching “the story should have no harm, b/c any physical harm means, most likely, magical incoherent thinking, and failure to purely mentally transform.” omg it’s true, the angel NEVER TELLS ABRAHAM TO HARM THE RAM! NEVER SAYS “you are blessed because you harmed the ram”.

Genesis 22:8-18 — The Sacrifice of Isaac’s thicket-caught ram
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2022%3A8-18&version=KJV;NIV

My pacifism in advocating pure mental-only sacrifice, has been vindicated, pretty much, as far as instructions from on high.

Abraham did burn the poor mythic ram, but at least the angel never told him to, despite the mushroom-thicket picture showing the angel pointing to the ram.

God said “because you have done this thing, and not withheld your child” — this thing != harm ram.

Abraham claims that “God will provide the ram for the sacrifice”, which does kind of imply God wants harmed rams.

There’s no direct connection between “burned ram” and “God is pleased”.

There IS a connection between “not withheld your child” and “God is pleased”.

So I’m satisfied that the mythic math adds up, for pure mental transformation with no bows broken, rams burned, or kings killed.

As the angel says: DO NOT HARM THE CHILD IN ANY WAY.

Continuing the list of many theory-confirmations that this mushroom-thicket image represents:

o Other connections/aspects I won’t elaborate here now – I don’t dare look at these other pages, it would be too much multi-way confirmation of all 3 types of evidence, every which way, massive confirmation of the Egodeath theory and the maximal mushroom theory of Christian art, of Christianity.

And now I’ve learned how to get/ read/ decode/ recognize highly coherent dump-trucks full of corroborating evidence for “the New Theory”, explanatory framework of assumptions and evidence.

Canterbury Mushroom-Thicket Image Shows There’s Been a Big Cover-up; Blowing the Lid off “the Minimal-Mushroom Cover-up“

Don’t say:
the minimal mushroom theory, or
the minimal mushroom scholars, or
the minimal mushroom theorists; say:
“the minimal-mushroom cover-up crew“

Mass-Quantity Theory Confirmation, this mushroom-thicket-caught-ram image represents, to me.

o even something, a combination I didn’t expect, beyond what I could have dreamed of hoping to find, that the ram’s thicket would be — a mushroom-thicket. I just discovered a new thing — did Brinckmann’s big-brain book cover mushroom-thickets, or just mushroom-trees? Those oh-so-wise “art historians” — give me a break.

The technical mytheme-term for them is:

Fools!

And liars, pope-buddy Wasson — a COVER-UP is exactly what it is.

I’m calling them out.

KNOCK IT OFF, THAT FLIMSY, TRANSPARENT, OBVIOUS ATTEMPT AT A COVER-UP OF MUSHROOMS THROUGHOUT CHRISTIANITY — AND THROUGHOUT ANCIENT GREEK CULTURE.

Everyone who claims no mushrooms in Christian art is TOTALLY FULL OF IT, that’s dead opposite of the truth.

AN ACCURSED COVER-UP BY LITERALIST DREGS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. AWAY TO HADES, MINIMALISTS!!

MINIMALISTS ARE A *WASTE OF TIME* — THIS CONVERSATION IS *DONE*.

It has to be said:

Forget willfully mentally slow, unqualified, un-read idiots, who are, in effect, participating in a COVER-UP and have a conflict of interest.

They have proved that they have zero credibility on this topic.

They are illiterate outsiders who no one should bother reading.

Two of them can’t even articulate their mentally garbled position on the Eden tree.

They get an F for writing; I can’t even make out what they are asserting in their writing that is as garbled as their thinking and arguments — if they really have anything that can be called “arguments”, buried in there somewhere in their confused, incoherent, Minimalist mind.

They are a waste of time and I would not waste my time debating them.

It’d be more profitable debating some random guy on the street, on this topic.

The oxen are wiser and more sensible than them!

Oxen, disputing with Brinckmann/ Panofsky/ pope-buddy Wasson/ Dumber-than-an-ox/ Even dumber-than-that

Anyone who maintains against ALL EVIDENCE AND SENSIBLE THINKING can absolutely go to hell — I’m done with their ridiculous lies and cover-up of the plain and straightforward Holy Spirit given by God.

Minimalists, who deny mushrooms in Greek and Christian art, go in the same bucket as I dumped Meditation hucksters decades ago.

Minimal-brains:

YOU – ARE – IRRELEVANT

– AND HARMFUL.

And a complete WASTE OF TIME.

Dry wells, they neither enter the gate, nor let anyone else go in.

THERE ARE NO MUSHROOMS for those on the outside.

_____________________________

[6:30 a.m. November 23, 2020] —

There are many ways to expand these 3 labels, but the shortest, concise labels are as follows. Needed: short form, long form.

Here’s the short form of Cyberdisciple’s identified 3 levels or categories of evidence for mushrooms in Greek & Christian art (or texts):

literal depictions of mushrooms
stylized depictions of mushrooms
depictions of mushroom effects

The Canterbury Psalter contains all three types of evidence.

Next, as a footnote, I’ll decode the remaining images throughout the entire Psalter, and inventory the 3 levels of evidence for mushrooms throughout the Psalter.

[5:44 a.m. November 23, 2020] —

Confirmed Dumber-than-an-ox is totally un-read outsider; he knows NOTHING of mushrooms in Greek mythology art.

Dumber-than-an-ox knows nothing about mushrooms in Greek & Christian art. No wonder he talks total rubbish claiming so quotably, idiot scholar’s hubris, in his book,

“easily explained away 
through 
sound, tried-and-true historical criteria”

His quote joins the Hall Of Shame for idiotic quotes, along w/ Panofsky.

He knows NOTHING about “historical criteria” on this topic, he is UN-READ, a nobody, outsider, on this topic of mushrooms in Greek & Christian art — yet he throws around such bold claims, as ignorant as they are bold; IGNORANT EMPTY BRAVADO. The exact opposite of scholarship.

Certainty of Mushroom Identification Increases While Sweeping Across Materials – Cubensis Liberty Caps Tree – Terms “Literal, Stylized, Effects”

This is remarkable, like the previous log entry. As I’m working across my long articles, and re-looking at mushrooms in Christian art, I’m sitting back watching the Certainty Meters increase.

I rewrote the section heading, shown below — much tighter, expressed in terms of Cyb’s 3 levels of evidence.

From my article:
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/13/compelling-evidence-criteria-of-proof-for-greek-bible-mushrooms/ —

Section 12: Stylized Psilocybe Clusters, Literal Liberty Caps

…

High-Resolution Complete Canterbury Psalter
https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10551125c/f11.item

There are Liberty Cap mushrooms in the cap of the mushroom tree, depicted literally; this is an example of “Literal Depictions of the Physical Form of the Mushroom”.
https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=liberty+cap+mushroom

/ end of excerpt from article

Back when I added this image a few days ago, I noted its’ mushrooms in the mushroom cap, but I was focused on de-emphasizing the “literal depicition” evidence of muhsrooms, suppressing htat mode of argumentation, and emphaising instead, branching (experiential transformation effects of mushrooms, as evidence of Christian art).

HOWEVER, now that I have tightened-up the definitions of the 3 types of evidence, I did a web image photo search on Liberty Cap mushrooms, and DAMN, this is a 10/10 as far as “literal depictions of mushrooms’ physical form”, in Christian art. I didn’t realize or press the case to confirm, against photos, the identification — I’ve seen them first hand, a lot, so hardly need photos — I’ve even seen them in grass in the shade in the desert at a gas station, in Summer.

If you wanted to depict the form of Liberty Caps, could you possibly paint a more botanically accurate literal depiction?!

I barely made mental note when I first pasted the image into the “Criteria” article, and refrained from even mentioning it — but, I HAD to now add text and image-search link, this is 10/10 evidence of the “literal depiction” type, really filling-in the article with all 3 levels of evidence:
1. literal depiction,
2. depiction of isomorphic mushroom-shaped item;
3. depiction of analogy describing high transformative effects of mushrooms.

Increased Certainty of Leg Positions on Salamander; back-reflection or cross-image decoding

[6:08 p.m. November 22, 2020] —

This is very thought-provoking, very significant, that after my big Canterbury hanging-mushroom article, I now have a infinitely more confident view, on this image. Now, when I see it, it’s striking how I feel,

“Of course naturally, it’s certain, a plain matter of established scientific fact, that his {raised left foot} means Possibilism is illusory and impotent.

“Everyone knows that; that’s well-established scientific knowledge.”

It’s remarkable how my confidence has skyrocketed on this image thanks to the wonderful Canterbury image. Canter paid off this way.

Circular history of decoding:

First, Irvin published this, not sure if I have that book,

Then Dumber-than-an-ox mocked Irvin re: this image in 2015,

Then I speculated (at Yahoo Group) in 2015 that left leg/foot = Possibilism , right = Eternalism. with certainty of 7/10.

Then, I decoded Canterbury a few days ago, and imported that decoding-hypothesis, with certainty of 7/10, and for Canterbury, I reached 10/10 certainty that in that image (which mytheme-illiterate Dumber-than-an-ox calls “dancing”, which I never believed), same assignment/decoding.

Now, I come back to this pic, and now, b/c of Canter success, it INCREASED my certainty on this pic:

Now, I consider it 10/10 certainty, that my reading on this pic legs is correct. No longer 7/10.

Also, my ability to decode the mushroom-tree & salamander-serpent to the left, also supports up-ing my certainty on his legs from 7/10 to 10/10.

Now, thanks to my cross-image decoding-fluency,

“Everyone knows” left = Possibilism, right = Eternalism. It’s now simply a given.

This is the common language of Greek & Christian mushroom art mythemes.

Comment on Cyb Article – Moving On from “Treating Book as Redeemable” Means What?

[November 22, 2020] —

https://cyberdisciple.wordpress.com/2020/11/17/moving-on-from-muraresku-the-immortality-key/

Your post contributes to the field. Analyzing where the author is coming from, what his motives are, what his rhetoric strategy is, what’s his spin, his agenda.

What does it really mean, I wonder, “my attempt to treat [this book] as redeemable writing and thinking”.

I guess that means, his book requires excess correction, before you can put it to use.
We always have to deal with distortions, correcting them.

“suspect of being an untrustworthy judge of those qualities” — that’s a truism, to some degree, for all scholarship.

Last time I had respect for scholarship, was about 1994.

Since then, I profited from disrespecting all scholarship — back to since like 1985, even.

My father warned me against looking up to authors.

“, and may be a shill for the publisher or the psychedelic therapy agenda”

Good point. Hermeneutics of Suspicion. Identify the agenda of 1 author, and agenda of a “school” or “field” or a contingent/band.

I wrote the Canterbury article largely against their point of view, to stand against it and be sort of incompatible in tone.

I disdain their lingo, assumptions, style.

Hanegraaff disparages huge sets of books as tainted by “religionism” — personal spirituality (god forbid!) instead of dispassionate scientific historical scholarship.

Meanwhile, he’s trying to sell his field as relevant and exciting!

With his several articles on Psych’s, he happens to be aligned w/ the trendy New Psych Revolution, I’m sure he’d dislike much of its worldview/tone.

Bit of a balancing act.

Likewise, I avoid books tainted by Jungianism, they are so heavy-handed of an overlay obscuring what they “cover”(-over).

A nice relief, was to get inside the minds of the Canterbury psilo-monk-comic-artists, which headspace is like a big (finger) in the face of the oppressive “Presentism fallacy” presumptions.

I do want to read for real Hanegraaff’s huge hit of a book about New Age, how it contains/packages real Esotericism.

I Used an Atrocious, No-Context Crop of the Mushroom Tree/ Sword Image to Successfully Decode a Sophisticated Message

Remarkable historical note about decoding the whole “Hanging from mushroom” page:

[~6 p.m. Nov 19, 2020]
At the time, when the present article wasn’t a dedicated aticle but was only a single picture in the article Defining “Compelling Evidence” & “Criteria of Proof” for Mushrooms in Christian Art, and para I only had the mushroom tree image in isolation to decode, and was completely unaware that there was much more to assess. This proves I was able to decode

Original sh*tty image I successfully decoded 2 days ago with no context at all:
https://www.ancientpsychedelia.com/canterbury-psalter/

High-res same crop from Cyb’s scholarly site:

Literally the only thing I knew about this image when I successfully decoded the central message in it, two days ago, was this blurry image; I didn’t even know it was cropped. I had no idea whether there was anything (like, for instance, eg GOD gesturing with left hand floating up impotently in thin air, right hand pointing down to solid ground).

new idea 9:36pm nov 19: wilber satan high image: goat man cross legged: points up and down.

USUALLY when one sees “one hand point up, one down”, we think: with the Flunked 3 students —
The up hand is good/heaven/Good/bliss/self-integrity,
the down hand is evil/hell/failure/torment/self-adversary.”

ADD POINT TO ARTICLE, ADD CROP OF RED INITIATE PULLED. UP hand is bad, otehr is good.

Classmates L-R: Cyberdisciple, Cybermonk, Brinckmann, Panofsky, Wasson, Dumber-than-an-ox, Even Dumber-than-that.

Exam Question:
Which arm is good, and which arm is bad?
Which arm should you rely on in the altered state, to save your life from catastrophe?

Funny/odd: big breakthorugh using atrocious, low res, highly cropped image: Eve branching 2013

, same situation as Nov 26, 2013 huge breakthorugh: Campbell’s book The Power of Myth — working from and looking at a mere b/w copy of a mere half of the painting of Eve/tree containing 5-7 branching-elements, was my biggest art decoding ever. This proves that key shapes /forms are what matters, and both images zero in on that.

Funny/odd: big breakthorugh using atrocious, low res, highly cropped image: Hanging Man

[Nov 28 2020] Correction of below: I didn’t see (this year) the mushroom tree/sword first at Ancient Psychedelics site, but rather, at Sam Woolfe’s site. I think I saw the image years ago, maybe, but didn’t think in terms of decoding it.

Ancient Psychedelia site gave me[sic] the image-fraction b/c had the msh in it, but wouldn’t you know, THAT MSH TREE HAPPENS TO BE USED BY THE ARTIST TO SHOW THE VERY HIGHEST CENTRAL ANALOGIES IN THE WHOLE PSALTER IMAGE/PAGE. So, dumb researcher (30 years) got a mushroom-fixated fraction of the whole image, which JUST HAPPENS TO BE used/chosen/selected by the monk-artists to show the key message, of:

Possibilism = branching-thinking causes you to “die” on mushrooms; become non-viable as a control agent.
Eternalism = non-branching thinking brings you life, rescue, viability, salvation and gnosis and right relation w/ God.

The monks selected the msh depiction as the area/feature in the image on which to convey their highest message, which resonates like a blade into oneself all through the whole image. They made the msh depiction the central, most important part/area to communicate the highest message. That’s like I’ve said, TREUE, kids just want kicks (ppl accuse) from msh, but, they end up like Zep “Take My Body SHom”, getting ultimatate mythic-level max drama and gnosis salvation instead. Dumb researcher (30 yrs) crops pic to show only the msh supeficial form; he accidentally thus selects/isolates only the very most important part of the pic (w/ Teacher with Students and Pink Key Tree throuwn in, but ignored by that researdcher and by me.

Dumb me, and dumb  Joshua Bempechat both fixate on the msh, and accidently, we took the monks’ bait, and we ended up hanging above the sword, gaining gnosis.

[[~7 p.m. Nov 19, 2020]
“decode”? sort of; I had such huge head start, “decode” seems to overstate the activity. More like merely “apply existing decoding-hypothesis”. It was actually a matter of tentatively applying an existing decoding from another piece, the Salamander from Bestiary, which Dumber-than-an-ox ineptly critiqued Irvin’s long-ago publishing of the pic.

So, when I started decoding this totally isolated cropped image in isolation a few days ago, I had a huge head-start, plenty to comprehend “at risk of dying from sword on mushrooms” was not a problem for my expertise to grasp and explain; I merely had to move from
0. “one foot is good, the other foot is bad” [decoding imported from my 2015 rebuttal of Dumber-than-an-ox) to
1. “right foot/leg is good, left bad”, to
2. “right hand is good/secure, left hand is powerless/chaos-headed”.
3. right limb is good/secure, left limb is bad/insecure.
These were very easy individual jumps, to get started decoding the tree portion of the Hanging Man illum manuscript comic top-left 1/3 of a row blurry.

That initial decoding might be in this log file below, or I worked-them up in the Criteria article and then moved that decoding to become the indep Canterbury Hanging article.
[7:21 p.m. Nov 19, 2020]
. [a main point obsucred here: I decode many pictures, and those decodings cross-polinate each other, it’s not like each one is a wholly different encoding-scheme.

I been doing this decoding since like 2001, maybe 1999, whenever I read Heinrich’s book Strange Fruit, I think 1999 —

I learned about Allegro from that book, and I didn’t obtain Allegro or hear about the idea of ahistoricity from Heinrich —

I first heard about ahistoricity from a Christian preiest’s book that was a rebuttal of Allegro & ahist’y!

My library had that response book, not Allegros book. By 2001 (check Egodeath YGroup), I was gangbusters hypothesiszing All Myth Is Enthoegens & “Eternalism” whatever the hell I called it at the time, “block universre determinism“??

Date of Decoding {non-branching} — Around 2010, Definitely by Nov 2011

Suppose I decoded {non-branching} in 2010 (in context of very rich understanding of Egodeath & mythemes). If so, then I’ve had that
o deep-comprehension of non-branching for 10 YEARS NOW.
And I semi-tentatively decoded the Irvin/Dumber-than-an-ox “dancing man” aka Sal Best image,
o {one of the legs/feet = Eternalism} 5 YEARS AGO NOW.
o msh {worldline = monocoursal labyrinth path} vision, semi-mild yet abs spot-on, 1997, FOR 23 YEARS AGO.

Summary: When I first started decoding “hanging from msh by right leg over sword” 3 days ago, I’ve comprehended:

NOTE: DON’T TAKE THESE NUMBERS/DATES/SPANS AS GOSPEL PRECISE AUTHORITATIVE. WITHOUT YAHOO GROPU TIMESTAMP OF MY POSTINGS, ROUGH #S.

Why It Was So Easy For Me To Get Started Decoding the Mushroom Tree/ Sword

You could say the mushroom tree with sword is the very hardest part of the entire image, requiring most sophisticated understanding of mystic experiencing, of the left 1/3 of the top row of Canterbury Hanging image.

Yet I was able to decode the branching tree with sword, in 100% isolation, not knowing anything at all about its context.

ok, pretty sure i got the shitty low-res cropped image a few days ago from: https://www.ancientpsychedelia.com/canterbury-psalter/

My browser history says I hit this domain on Nov 17! very very very recernt, but, that DOES corrob that I been decoing this Psalter page for 3 days now. It SEEMS longer bc I was writing such decoding articels for the past 7ish days. This was I think, a LATE addition to my “Criteria” article.

1. I got Dumber-than-an-ox’ book, I was shocked that it skips and only MENTIONS mushrooms in Christian art, to dumbly wave it aside, “burn this useless book and go see my articles titled foo and bar, where I demonstrate my Method to Wave Aside” He’s so proud of his method that’s SO GOOD, it can “explain away” (his words!) msh in Christian art.

Listing my recent major flagship articles:

1 – Rebuttal-of-Dumber-than-an-ox article started on

2 – Criteria article started November 13, 2020

3 – Hanging article – moved from Crit bottom, to sep pg today?! November 19, 2020. find timestamp in present log file, when did i try to … i cannot have started decoding it before 2 days ago nov 17 – confirmed below; on Nov 17 2020 I was solving Bestiary Salamander image, and started solving Hanging Man image — 2 days ago = 3 days of decoding & commentary.

Book: Ancient Psychedelia https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/17/book-ancient-psychedelia/

Weirdly, when I started decoding that zero-context cropped image [which I first found at Sam Woolfe’s site -mh nov 28 2020] about 3-4 days ago, I was totally dull-eyed re: pink tree. I made no use of it, stupidly, until AFTER I figured out all the “hard” parts — I only served as a Confirmation #3 that my interp was sound/coherent/consistent. I need to read that decryption book someone gave me, to have better words than “sound/coherent/consistent”. When you decrypt text, it’s obvious when you succeed, I think. You either get total gibberish, or you get an intelligible message. You don’t get a totally intellibile, consistent message and go, “You have NO evidence that the orig message said that.” There is no question, no doubt, when you solve a puzzle. It is OBVIOUS you solved it, and my guide is, I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT FOR NOT INSTANTLY SEEING THIS DECODED MESSAGE — *that* is PROOF. I proved the tree is psil. How did I prove it? My interp (decoding, hypothesis, theory) produces a 100% intelligible coherent message. What’s Dumber-than-an-ox gonna say,

“Just because you were able to extracted/projected onto it a 100% intelligible, lofty, complicated, coherent message, is NOT PROOF THAT IT’S PSILOCYBE. Maybe you completely misread and forced your decoding.”

Oh yeah? What’s *YOUR* interp of it? “It’s just random”? “It has no meaning, because I say so”?

His Big Message is: “that is NOT a psych msh”. That’s not a theory, not an expl, it’s a BASELESS OPINION; “it MIGHT NOT be psychocactive mshrm depicted in that Christian art piece, THEREFORE, IT DEFINITELY IS NOT PSIL”.

“I proved that it’s possible to easily explain away, therefore, I have proved it.”

WTF is that fallacy?! — his wording is an EXPLICIT ADMISSION OF 100% BIAS! Who would ever positively use the phrase, “explain away”? doesn’t he know that is a bad, illegitimate thing?

He’s treating “explain away” like it’s considered a Valid arg. But the phrease always means FALLACIOUS! Tom I THINK THAT WORD DOES NOT MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS

You keep saying, proudly, “easily explain away” — You Keep Using That Phrase, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means — it usually means “I have a fallacious, biased argument”.

Argument from Ease of Explaining Away?

Argument from Waving Aside?

Argument from Sheeer Denial?

Dictionary definitions of “explain away”: it is not something to be proud of! to “explain away” predominantly means FAIL; it means your reasoning is poor and not even reasoning at all.
The idiom “explain away” means your position is b.s.!

Yes, I fully agree that your so-called “sound, tried-and-true historical criteria” [what a frickin JOKE!!] method enables you to explain away mushrooms in Christian art — “explain away”, in every one of the very worst senses combined.

His “criteria”, “sound, tried-and-true historical criteria“, amounts to nothing but the “argument”: it is POSSIBLE to deny it, even if it looks, sounds, smells like a psychoa. msh, BECAUSE it is POSSIBLE to WAVE IT ASIDE, because it is POSSIBEL to utter the words “No it’s not”, THAT is your “sound, tried-and-true historical criteria“?! WHAT A FUCKING JOKE. GTFO, CLOWN. % OF PPL convinced by this fool: 100% of ppl who INSIST on believing his sheer baseless dismissal. It’s not an argument, it’s a sheer POSITION, that’s all.

Argument from Position-statement; Argument from Sheer Asssertion.

“My argument, is, NO ITS NOT.”

Argument from sheer denial.

I REACH THE SAME VIEW AS (I reached years ago): the Minimalists are morons, that have no interest in Reason; committed skeptics, wholly a waste of time, a travest of “reasaoning”. IGNORE THEM they are nothing but a BUMP in the road, dry wells, they neither go in, nor let anyone else go it. [In UNIMPORTANT TOPICS, he contributes “avaluable”[sic, contradic]

Minimalists produce valuable work in topics that are of no value. If you skip the topic, in your book on Entheogens in W Religious History, and you just SKIP topic “Mushrooms in Christian art”, on the [non-]argument of “Because it is possible to explain away and simply deny it, no matter what evidence / interps/ arguments you make“, the book is shit, it’s irrelevant, it’s an automatic 1-star out of 5 rating. BASIC TOTAL FAIL at the ONE important topic, the very center of the book, the ALL IMPORTANT TOPIC, literally the most imporant topic in the world — the flesh of Christ the savior — Mushrooms in Christian art.

the “argument from denial” fallacy, is NOT AN ARGUMENT.

How I Decoded the Mushroom Tree/ Sword Image

I knew about:

block universe 1988 (known for 32 years)– core technical idea w/ loose cog, as ego t’c: 1988 (not mapped to mythemes at all; per Core Physics & Loosecog theory).

monocoursal labyrinth: 1997 (known for 23 years)

branching/non-branching: 2010 (known for 10 years) forest path brancing path and trees, nonbranching hypoth: 2010

two feet/legs = Possibilism vs Eternalism – 2015 (been decoded for 5 years)

— [8:04 p.m. Nov 19 2020]

Snake decoding a milestone, like 2003 quite tentative, and Rock decoding came even later, last; dead last was 2011 tree vs snake, which fully clicked nov 2013. When did I first (releva Q for here) decode “tree”?

With Yahoo Groups down, I cannot answer/prove that. Very fertile myth decoding period after my 4 year hiatus…
[public hiastus 2008, 2009, 20010, 2011]
[fertile period of decoding: late 2011 – late 2013 and into 2014, {tree} decoding likely was in there, like 2010-2011, actually I know teh offiieela moment I formed “tree branching” concept, very clear:

when wlking paths of the musrhoom patch 1-sequare block forest preserve in a bizness zone, I got the idea from paths, but w/ vibes hearkening way back to 1988 riding Dionysus chariot along a canal path.

and very outstanding, using only a little bit of traditional inspired spirit wind in msh scholarship in 1997, I received a vision of monocoursal labyrinth.

very low-key vision, yet exactly hit the target; oriented me for 1997-1999-2003+.

The Labyrinth Path vision was completely low-key and 100% spot-on to orient my thinking to, then around 2010 proably during hiatus, walking on the brnching forest paths of the mushroom patch and thinking about trees and branching, IIRC that was the end of my 4-year public hiatus, around 2011.

Nov 2011 gangbusters posting about non-branching, Nov 2013 btfo’d the problem, with a week of trembling omfg!! omfg!! weeping; max imaginable week-long peak breakthrough, seems totally differnet than the other 10/10 Magnitude 10 1988 Jan brkthru.
[7:43 pm Nov 19, 2020]
HOW TO TELL WHICH OF MY DATES ARE MORE AUTHORITATIVE: ED Yahoo Group posting dates – I very miss that datetimestamp record. I might make mistake of date.
o Start date: Oct 26, 1985?
o Magnitude 10 brkthru 1: Jan 11, 1988? I was on fire like NOv 1987 through Mar 1989 — but never had 1 week of trembling weeping like 2013 Nov-Dec. Why not? 2013 was *not* bigger than 1988 brekthru.
o Magnitude 10 brkthru 2: Nov 26, 2013? 1 week of trembling weeping 2013 Nov-Dec ].

… — the key central part of the image, which is, it so happens — should it surprise us? The mushroom tree. There is much more meaning around the mushroom tree than God, as far as analyzing sections of the top row. I didn’t know there were two more rows below it.

So, the historical happenstance of my successful decoding — which I feel fine about — is that I decoded the mushroom tree in total mentla isolation, without any awareness that it was part of a big comic-strip page.

That is, I had no awareness of the following panels: Teacher with Students, … here is the image that I started with: the log page currently shows the poor-quality, highly cropped image, which I successfully decoded (mushroom tree … I really knew nothing about where this picture came from; no sense of context at all; perfect mental isolation.

Given *only* this picture, knowing nothing whatsoever about where it came from, in fact believing it to be an isolated picture with no surrounding imagery, I was able to decode the most key aspects (only): the bare, basic concept, that … for the record, I still am perfectly lily-pure: I don’t know anything at all, zero, about the Psalter. Is it England, I guess? France?

No one has time for such trivia. Here’s the picture that was literally the ONLY thing I knew, when I started doing longer and loonger commentary on it, either in the REALTIME LOG page, or in the CRITERIA areticle: I identified the situation of “at risk of cybernetic blade of control-loss unless you repudiate Possibilism and build-up and affirm the Eternalism mental model”.

I didn’t exactly “decode” left and right; I simply applide that idea from an unrelated piecce eg the salamander bestiary image, which I first commented on and speculated about left/right legs bieng Possibilism vs Eternalism, back in 2015.

So I merely had to apply an existing hypothesis; “Can I apply my speculation from my critique against Dumber-than-an-ox 2015, that the man is not “dancing” but is repudiating Possibilism and affirming/relying on Eternalism?, to this image too?” So, unfair. That is why you — against maybe Dumber-than-an-ox’s strict cordoning off the bestiary as “mushrooms here would contradict the mushroom interpretation of Christian art, b/c this is not *religious art* (bestiary). I totally disagreed with that whole premise of segregation. I enjoyed an author’s books about the otherworld, around 2006. Stupid idea to propose a strict division between “religious vs non-religious art”.

Note added slightly later, 3:31 p.m

[…] of the existence , not even the God or baquet, and demonstration of the mytheme-decoding process.

Tired of formal writeup in the main article, Psalter. slow/cumbersome. MOtivated by greed for credit. The article is almost over-the-top.

I screwed up not doing FULLSCREEN view at the Psalter site. Result was crap quality blurry pics at WordPress. We have to have high-res!

Idea 5:20p.m. nov192020 good student = pink initiate prior to meal. If pink is at table in same pic as later time, is it too much a stretch to have pink in “same scene” as his later self when he’s ni tree? tree = different time, than Class.
Date 1: pink is shown in class.

Date 2: pink is shown at banquet

Date 3: pink is shown in tree. show his 3 photographs, do face recognition, prove it’s the same guy at 3 poinst in time

got it – 5:48pm nov 19 – the bad students flunked, they are the rejects. pink passed the prep exam so he gets to banquet. subtle joke in the pic. proof: the bad students don’t appear elsewhere in the top row. pink appears 3x. you aren’t permitted to banquet unless you demonsrate reasonable agreeableness to non-branching (right hand) & comprehension. students who are “muh freewill” don’t pass the prep class.

Realtime decoding of mythemes in the two images of the man hanging by one leg above a sword, and the salamander in a bestiary.

The beginning of this breakthrough rush, the first log entry is:
1:17 a.m. November 17, 2020

Hypothesis 5:31 p.m. November 17, 2020:

Ruck’s “one leg” studies: Dumb people with one leg are naive Possibilism thinkers, who lack Eternalism-thinking; gnosis, Transcendent Knowledge.

That’s the hypothesis formation phase of scientific discovery in the field of Loose Cognitive Science.

Next, is the testing phase.

This is not the first time I thought of that hypothesis, so, there must be Phase 0: early hypothesis-formation, the most tentative, like in past years when I demurely fleetingly dared to wonder, not boldly yet, whether the dog-watering bowl in the Dionysus Triumph mosaic is Amanita.

It was merely a possibility yet to be tested and considered, and I didn’t have good ideas to test that, or a strong sense of that it would be worth troubling my mind about — I wasn’t converned about it and I now feel that was a mistake, to wait until couple days ago to 1) form a more forceful hypothesis, 2) test it seriously by literally aligning it next to Amanita photo, 3) formally list out the justiification for such interp, 4) Pronounce to the world that I have solved, positively identified, the dog-watering bowl as an Amanita.

Like Paul Thagard’s model of Conceptual Revolutions can handle/ explain/ model, “hypothesis formation” is a matter of degree, and intensity of commitment to testing it.

Like the salamander guy facepalming, DISCOVERY/decoding of something I’ve seen for years FEELS EMBARRASSING; WHY THE HELL DIDN’T I REALIZE THE SLAM-DUNK IDENTIFICATION OF DOG-BOWL AS AMANITA WAY BACK IN 2006?

I have yet to fully write up decoding salamander man’s facepalming: apprehension. And repentence; “I now see how my thinking as late as this time ….”, in ~1995 (I thought at the time in the peak conversion moment), “that my thinking is STILL contaminated with freewill-dependence control-thinking! All these years, 7 years now since 1988 breakthrough, and I’m STILL contaminated with impure thinking, against God the puppetmaster!” (facepalm), I went from excited panic of control-loss instability, unspeakable thoughts, saved by blood of the King on the Cross from Heaven (Mr. Historical Jesus, I still assumed at that time), trembling with terror AND high holy excitment, mentally kneeling (with the feeling of mentally laughing “insanely”) to consciously align my trust with the uncontrollable controller of my pre-set, injected control-thoughts.

Class of Students Displaying Their Hands (and Feet) as Answers

re: Canterbury Mushroom Tree/ Sword image

I was slightly off, re: students holding displaying hands. Everyone starts life , until initiation, displaying their left hand — thinking is characterized by Naive Possibilism.

The 4 students, and teacher, are displaying their hands, the meaning really is, they CONTINUE to think in the default mode network – Possibilism. The advanced/ aptitude student has switched from default left-hand displaying ie default Possibilism-thinking, to now , demonstrating Eternalism- thinking.

Decoding {Facepalm, Gestures of Apprehension}

Like Alan Watts wrote in The Way of Zen: upon Satori, you can only laugh at your change of thinking. Those are the gestures of exclamation, APPREHENSION, which can combine terror, amazement, like ELEUSIS experience, laughing, OMFG, it tangles together terror, fear, amazement, mega-breakthrough, conversion, laughing at the inconsistent self-contradictory folly of Possibilism-thinking, Angels Sing, Demons Flee, PEAK EXPERIENCING TRANSFORMATION, then I went to my grandfather’s Restorationist church; he and the elders baptized me in Christ.

I now declare that I have decoded {facepalm, gesture of apprehension}.

— Michael Hoffman, 5:54 p.m. November 17, 2020

But in the high- time-competition aftermath of the rush of discovery (in this mode, I’m stumbling over myself to type as fast as possible, making all kinds of expansions/connections/commentary in 10 different directions), I’ve been putting off looking up the def’n of ‘apprehension’ – it’s Meaning 2 below, but, also with connotations of trembling, rescue, close call, huge mental transformation of the presumed basis of your control power, and one can have “insane” feeling of laughing: “facepalm”.

Increased Certainty of Mytheme Decoding Over Time: {leg}; The “Breakthrough Rush” Experience

~5:40 p.m. November 17, 2020 —

Now in this present hypothesis-formation phase, I feel a higher degree of confidence that when I check data, read Ruck re: {one foot}, not that I have yet a particular very specific decoding to commit to, but rather, I have fairly high confidence that my decoding of {leg} = a mental model of control (Possibilism or Eternalism), will somehow or other, successfully decode whatever Ruck is covering re: the one-foot people.

I can’t remember what-all he says, so in that aspect, this is a very tentative hypothesis, to test — sort of like where I was in early December 2013, when I had a strong breakthrough under my belt but I was looking for test-cases, like bending light around the sun to confirm Relativity/gravity bending of spacetime.

Looking for test-cases to use to test the theory.

A breakthrough is 1 hour of breakthrough rush, then 1 day of cleanup, then potentially, weeks and months of build-out. As late as now, 5:23 p.m. November 17, 2020, I’m still processing the breakthrough, cleaning up, reflecting.

Realtime Decoding-Discovery Log During the Breakthrough Rush of Decoding — but not only “during the Rush”; ie, what does that time period mean? There’s the Peak Rush, there’s the 16 hours of aftermath, there’s days and weeks after that.

I’m realizing that the aftermath refinements are very important part of the Discovery process too, during the following 16 hours of cleanup & refinement.

In the case of November 2013 (in some ways, the biggest rush breakthrough), the peak rush (1 hour?) was followed by a full week of shaking, announcements/messaging, followed by months of research and corroboration and build-out of the Theory for interpretation of mythemes, and into 6-8-12 months after that.

The January 1988 breakthrough was the other major of the two huge breakthroughs I’ve had – there was lots of intensity there, but not like 2013’s week of shaking. I have yet to explain the difference between those two huge peak breakthroughs.

1988 mega-breakthrough: enlightenment, ego transcendence, is actually about experiencing block-universe no-free-will, not as Journal of Transpersonal Psychology frames it.

2013: tree vs. snake = Possibilism vs Eternalism. This seems like merely condensing my 2006 great theory of mytheme decoding.

I haven’t really explained why 2013 felt so much more intense than the gradually developed excellent decoding work of 1999-2007.

I haven’t really explained why 2013 felt so much more intense than the 1988 breakthrough which is the Core foundation for any mytheme-decoding work of 2006 or 2013, where I mapped the Core to mythemes.

About the later-in-the-day (3:42 p.m. November 17, 2020) cleanup pass I’m now doing in this page:

Originally, there were efficient abbreviations such as ‘msh’ instead of mushrooms below, to type faster, and many typos, and heavy use of bold and caps to give degrees of emphasis during the jackpot discovery rush of insights.

Sometimes I misspoke or mis-judged, I’m keeping that, but inserting notes for correction/clarification.

This realtime discovery notebook proves that a literal photorealistic depiction of a mushroom form in art is sometimes LESS evidence that it’s specifically a psychoactive type of mushroom, than non-photorealistic depictions of mushrooms, which bend the image to force it to message that there’s something very profound to discover in the mind concerning branching.

When the image depicts messages like branching = gnosis, is it established that the context is the altered state, loose cognition from entheogens, thus an entheogenic type of mushroom.

What Is the Sitting Man in Tree Pointing[sic] At?

Now that I’ve formally written up these decodings of the two images in the “Criteria” article, I need to correct a couple statements, and also interestingly, revise which discoveries are most important. I now at 8:05 a.m. November 17, 2020, think that the guy sitting in the branch of the tree (i didn’t catch that, below) is actually pointing specifically to the floating foot – {floating foot} = Possibilism-thinking is no use for self-control stability in the altered state.

(later, with high-res, i saw he’s not pointing at all! meta-theory: initial observation, data collection, was poor, had poor tools/ poor view of the explanandum)

Further refinement 4:40 p.m. November 17, 2020, this subsection:

More accurately: pointing to the foot, as the center of focus, which is only meaningful when surrounded by the context around it.

It’s like pointing to the sword and branching and both legs and the wise men, but saying the central focus is here.

So, it’s true he’s pointing past the foot to the far cap’s underbranches, but by the same token, he’s pointing to the sword and entire image.

It’s concentric; the branch-sitting man’s pointing means, “concentrate your analysis around this point in this image”.

That zone of the image, though, depends on the rest of the image, such as the branching under the mushroom caps, and the sword.

All elements are important; it’s holistic — the pointing merely means that “the meaning of all the crucial elements (branching, mushroom, sword, left leg, right leg) is centered around this spot“.

_____

I less and less think he’s pointing at the branching of the tree (under the cap), which is 3x further away than the floating foot. Unbelievable coincidence, these pairs of images have same elements to cross-solve the two puzzles in conjunction: floating foot in both images.

Proximity demonstrated (it is important for decoding these images) in both of these images (I need to write that up a little): pointing near the floating foot; salamander near the odd mushroom stem branching.

Re-assessment and changing weightings, after the discovery phase.

I don’t want to clean up the below too much and lose the records – I need to snapshot this page as a record of discovery steps, before any real revisions/corrections.

Mushrooms in Christian Art Confirmed in Spades

Here Is Where I Started Decoding and Got a Rush of Confirmation of the Theory, Upon Wondering “Will He Fall & Die?”, then Testing the Theory via Experiment, then Getting Massive Confirming Evidence Supporting the Theory, because then Looking for, & Seeing & Discovering the (Blurry) Sword Under the Tree: Yes He Would Die!

[Nov 28 2020] This note is a revision of elsewhere — I didn’t see (this year) the mushroom tree/sword first at Ancient Psychedelics site, but rather, at Sam Woolfe’s site! I think I saw the image years ago, maybe, but didn’t think in terms of decoding it.

My first decoding breakthrough of the image-crop — in total isolation, blurry — is below: datetime stamp below is [1:17 a.m. November 17, 2020], which led to 3, 4, 5… days of intensive decoding of the entire image, which is HUGE, AMAZING, TOTAL RAMIFICATIONS TO CHANGE THE WORLD; SHOWS INITIATION EDUCATION CYCLE, SELF-BATTLING/RELENTING, PEAK EVERYTHING!!

Total proof *NOT* MERELY OF MUSHROOMS IN Christian ART; BUT OF THE ENTIRE Egodeath theory; PAGELS’ FIRST 2 BOOKS ABOUT TWO OPPOSED GROUPS, etc etc…. everything I could possibly want, the key to corroborate Lesser/Greater Mysteries of Eleusis full decoding, everything!

The Psychedelic Origin of Christianity
Article with 12 images of mushrooms in Christian art
A gallery page, Sam Woolfe, 2013
https://www.samwoolfe.com/2013/04/the-sacred-mushroom-and-cross-by-john.html
https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/imagenes_biblianazar/biblianazar84a_02.jpg — discovery/reading of mine new idea of mine, Michael Hoffman priority of discovery 1:17 a.m. November 17, 2020: man hanging from mushroom by one leg means his right leg, which is the Eternalism leg. left leg is hanging in air, it’s his Possibilism leg, which offers no support; our Possibilism-premised power is illusory.

Check Egodeath Yahoo Group to see when (2013? 2016?) I first solved {leg/foot} = mental model of personal control power, though with less certainty than now — that’s how it goes: I first form a hypothesis “could it be that “leg” means mental model you rely on?” Then corroboration rolls in over time, strengthening the certainty and confidence in that mytheme-decoding.

Find “Hephaestus” in my writings/posts, then I “test” the hypothesis/decoding by looking for that theme; gradually I fine-tune my hypoth and gain certainty by graduated leaps. I feel 93% certain this is the correct reading, totally makes sense.

This image gives an INCREASED DEGREE OF CORROBORATION OF a hypothesis (this concerns the theory of scientific discovery) that I maybe only articulated a couple days ago, I think; I maybe for first time speculated specifically that, LEFT LEG = Possibilism, RIGHT LEG = Eternalism.

Like in the land of the dead, at two rivers, remember to turn to look to the right to remember, turn to look to the left means to forget (considered bad).

Left = bad = Possibilism = no solid ground to support self-control in the altered state.
Right = good = Eternalism = solid ground to support your self-control.

I JUST GOT FURTHER CONFIRMATION OF HYPOTHESIS WHILE “TESTING” IT — I checked to see if “Hm, I wonder if he’ll die if he falls — how high is the branch he’s precariously dangling from?” then at 1:25 a.m., I went to re-look at the picture – and only then, I saw that THERE’S A SWORD UNDER HIM!
gimme https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=laurel+wreath — HYPOTHESIS CONFIRMED!

Not the hypothesis regarding left vs. right foot, but regarding: he’s depending on one leg (the right leg) to stop him from dying in mytheme land; that is, avoiding cybernetic death/ loss of control/ control instability. I did not notice the sword before typing the initial analysis above.

I hadn’t yet “read” the “scene”. 1:31 a.m., I just formed a hypothesis, or rather confirmation; increased my degree of certainty regarding the interpretation of WHY MUSHROOM CAPS ARE SHOWN WITH BRANCHES ON UNDERSIDE IN MYTHEMELAND.

It’s not just b/c veil hasn’t dropped; IT’S BECAUSE OF THE DESIRE TO INCLUDE EMPHASIZING THE BRANCHING MESSAGE.

How I got there just now, was looking first at the 3 guys pointing, then looking at the 1 guy sitting in mushroom tree, he’s pointing, first I thought at the 1 leg the guy’s hanging from, then I wonderered if he’s pointing at the mushroom cap overall, then I wondered if he’s pointing to the branching.

Then I remembered by interpretation-theory development/discover of 1-2 days ago speculating and writing-up the Eden trees regarding their underside branching, and their other branching, in my “Criteria mushroom trees” article.

Recording both my priority of discovery timestamps, and, recording my process-of-discovery as a study in the theory of “scientific” discovery.

This is the highest Science I’m doing, the paradigmatic mother of all of Science is Loose Cognitive Science.

I don’t want to take the time to copy the image locally to here, that would break the jackpot flow.

This is a good image and analysis.

This would be the “hint” I would give students, to help them decode this image:

Your {left leg} is of no use to stop you from {death};
you must have a {right leg} to stop you from {death}.

That image was pretty quick to add now that i’m figured out how to fast-paste pictures here.

1:39 a.m. I JUST GOT STRONG CONFIRMATION – SUCCESS, OF LATEST HYPOTHESIS: I CONFIRMED HE’S POINTING TO THE BRANCHING [later, I disagree; he’s pointing[no, still wrong: had to correct again, soon like 1 day after that. Nov 28, long after decoding it all: he’s not pointing; got high-res image. he’s grasping at thin air, w/o any support/power. -mh nov 28 2020] much more to the {floating foot}] — the very thing that makes dumb literalists say “this image can’t be Psilocybe, because there are branches under the cap”, is the very most important point of all [or is it the floating-foot?], proving it IS representation of Psilocybe: Psilocybe reveals holy godly gnosis enlightenment satori Transcendent Knowledge about basic how the mind works to shift mental models in ASC — ITS ALL ABOUT THE BRANCHING DUDE. [and the two models of time; the secure leg/foot and the floating one]

This image confirms — when taken together with other recent mushroom trees i analyzed [that’s an important point, that I’ve been having great success decoding pairs of images] — both my theory of transformation from Possibilism to Eternalism AND the positive identification of Psilocybe – in fact, we can be MORE SURE, that this is a psychoactive mushroom, THAN IF IT WERE A PHOTOREALISTIC! by adding unnatural and unrealistic branches under the cap and then having a guy to the scene, whose only, sole purpose is to point, at the branches, ARTIST HAS GONE OUT OF WAY TO BOTH ADD UNNATURAL BRANCHES, AND, THEN TO POINT AT THE BRANCHES HE ADDED.

The love of these clusters, in this style of art, “insert lame stupid Panofsky quote, the style drifted to become unrecognizable because they worked from templates” stupidest b.s. i ever heard, are the mushroom-tree artists stupid inept idiot fools, or is Panofsky the stupid inept idiot fool!

Art Historians = dunce. ie THOSE ON THE OUTSIDE = FOLLY.

I love to hate Panofsky’s lame passage in letter that Wasson censored Brinckmann out of.

Prepare to see 10 x more, copy paste paste paste idiot passage from SOMA quote. I gotta clip Panofsky’s letter photo to mock the original typewritten letter on “Advanced Studies” letterhead, The Institute for Advanced Folly.

Foolishness of Art Historians

The guy in ridiculous pointless nonsensical fantasy scene that means nothing, whose sole point in the picture is to point. [a few hours later after formal writeup: he’s sitting in the branch of the tree, too] whatever.

What’s he pointing at? A shoe! o wait.

Both the foot hanging powerlessly without a foundation in the air, AND, at the branches — you know, the branches which allegedly prove to the literalist outsider that these cannot possibly be Psilocybin, because these have branches, contradicting Psilocybe.

In fact the pointing at the branches, and foot w/ air under (above) it, offering no purchase for the guy who’s going to fall to his death on the sword IF HE WERE to rely on Possibilism-premised control ({left leg/foot}) , except for his right, Eternalism-premised, godly conscious leg/ mental model of control is hooked on the tree keeping him from {dying}.

The 3 wise wisdom men[sic; class of students.. sigh. -mh nov 28 2020] gesture at the scene (i have to double check their standce / eyes/ hand gestures next, in this jackpot flow of discovery steps/process.

It is ambiguous whose hand is on heart vs. pointing to the scene; totally irrelevant. The idea clearly is, the 5 men are putting their right hand on their heart, and their left hand pointing at the scene.

There’s a couple hands/arms missing — irrelevant.

The message is clearly: “wise men putting their hands on their hearts and pointing at scene of guy pointing at branches and guy hanging perilously re: peak-profound near-death branching insight due to Psilocybe {sword, death, rescue by switching to (adding; repudiating & replacing) Right foot not Left foot}– you see, this is why it is not possible for me to put together a gallery.

I was typing-out discoveries for 2 days for 5 pictures, and an hour for this one picture. 2:19 am. I’ll never complete the image gallery. 😦

Historical Record of Decoding Process: I Here Paused in the Rush of Initial Decoding of Mushroom/Sword, to Check the Bestiary Salamander Image’s “Dancing Man”

[note: here’s where, in the initial decoding process, when initially decoding mush/sword, I reluctantly went & found image of Irvin/Hatsis so-called “dancing man, to cross-decode the two images. mh nov 28 2020]

Now I’m wasting time looking for the source file of the “dancing” (not) man by the “non-” (not) mushroom w/ salamander.

3:06 am – I took a break, now I looked again at salamander – I GOT SOMETHING. LOOK AT THIS MUSHROOM WITH A BRANCHING ANALYSIS. The fact of strange branching is significant, more than the particulars of the strange branching in these images.

November 17, 2020. How I trajectoried [ie what my train of thought was during the rush of the discovery process]: I brought up the picture, decided if to crop it, thought “omit salamander on fire… first check the vertical salamander in the middle – what’s his altitude of head vs. cap of the mushrooms?

Is the guy’s heart at same level as branching?

Then i noticed CONSCIOUSLY FOR THE 1ST TIME — that this mushroom has 1 stalk, IT BRANCHES INTO TWO then back into 1 [later cleanup: strike “then back into 1; they do support 1 cap”], which for idiots means “it cannot be Psilcocybe”, but 4 those on the inside, who Know Branching, the branching message is PRECISELY what makes it proves that it is enthoegenic (Psilocybe specifically).

The fact that this msh has impossible branching is PROOF that there’s a MESSAGE ABOUT BRANCHING/NONBRANCHING, emphasized by burning off the perishability of the salamander which is —

NEW IDEA 3:11 A.M. IT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY [ie, sequentially] THE SAME SALAMANDER (no big deal [i.e. the fact it’s only 1 salamander, that’s shown twice, is a key for the successful decoding, but is not most important point/realization here]) on the fire = the salamander here it is: the just now idea in realtime: what is the elevation of the salamander which is by the mushroom?

HYPOTHESIS: (I can’t see that part of the picture right now; this way, I can register my experiement-outcome prediction): I PREDICT the salamander is at the impossible branching.

TESTING THE HYPOTHESIS: I’m gonna look: 3:13 a.m., I just noticed that the salamander has a long serpent tail! I CONFIRMED THE HYPOTH PREDICTION – Per Thagard, I just got a bunch of Theory Confirmation – THE SALAMANDER-SERPENT [notice the orig question just said “salamander”; I added ‘-serpent’ here] IS AT THE IMPOSSIBLE BRANCHING.

Decoding Contributions from Another Abbey’s Dept. of Alchemy – In Which Cyb Locates High-Res Psalter; Peer Collaboration at Independent Labs

Cyberdisciple at 1:54 p.m. Nov 17 2020 wrote the points in this section; I’m reworking it, commenting. -Cybermonk

In the image of the hanging man, the sword, head, and hand are placed at the same level as the stump, i.e. where the cluster has been de-branched. [that sounds like a new realization]

What is that circular shape and wavy blue shape on the right side of the image? The right foot and the sword disappear behind it or go into it.

The hanging man’s right hand touches the debranched stump, while his right foot touches whatever that is on the right side.

The sword, which presumably cut the stump, extends to whatever is on the right side.

Is whatever is on the right side a representation of the control source that provides stability? [good thinking, test this decoding-hypothesis, thank you for finding the whole picture, for context, and opportunity to do more mytheme decoding hypoth testing]

The smaller tree in between the wise men and the blue true also has one stump, inviting us to contrast branching and de-branched.

My Comment Posted at Cyb’s – People Find My Record of Discoveries/ Process Valuable

Nov. 18, 2020

That is valuable feedback, that this process of discovery can be interesting as distinct from what’s discovered.

I even incorp’d a lot of that meta-discovery into the relatively formal article (now broken into 2) about ‘Criteria of Proof’. Need to keep it kind of separated out of the way, not impede simple summaries.

In this new field of Loose Cognitive Science, it is important to pro-actively position the field to help make it easy for people to think about whether it is an organized field with a process that relates to at least schoolboy-level “The Scientific Method”.

On exams, Show Your Work.

In the “formal” articles, I wish to have separate summaries, vs. meta-description of the Conceptual Revolutions process.

As one who is subject to various degrees of first-hand experience of “breakthroughs”, it’s relevant to have a developed idea of what the concept of ‘breakthrough’ really amounts to.

Why did the 1988 breakthrough have a distinctive trajectory and feeling?

~2001 Maximal Entheogen Theory of Religion?

Nov 2011 vs Nov 2013 progress/breakthough on branching?
“Diamond Hammer of Interpretation” around then?

1988 vs 2006 vs 2013?

Why don’t I think of 2006 (Main Article, + necessary “tax”/evil of having to write Plaincourault article to clear stupid obstacles) as a “breakthrough” in discovery, but merely a breakthrough in Communication/presentation?

I’m now leveraging the fact that I failed to decode tree/snake then, that failure and later breakthrough-solution is interesting for meta-theorizing.

I knew that Moses’ snake on pole was unsolved, in 2006. That posed a perfect question, which I solved 2011 then really in 2013. 7 years to decode Moses’ snake on a pole.

When I pub’d the Main Article in 2006, Sally pointed out “You don’t grasp the meaning of {King on Cross} in Antiquity”, so I roughed an article then about that.

How do you measure how “big” a breakthrough is? Gist of Thagard:
How many connection revisions, and how big the resulting scope of explanatory power?

Important:

What are the sequence of thoughts, when a mind switches from Possibilism to Eternalism?

Didn’t Thagard form a computer model of that? Check the Cog Psy / Cog Sci chapter. Think it’s a later module in Brown’s class.

What are the sequence of thoughts, when a mind switches from Naive-Possibilism, to Eternalism + Qualified-Possibilism?

My meta-thinking during discovery-and-decoding, is to help model how a mind transforms.

The master paradigmatic example of “Conceptual Revolutions” is mental model transformation from Possibilism to Eternalism.

Loosecog Science is on more solid ground than other fields.

Loosecog Science is the original, ultimate instance of Scientific Revolution / Paradigm Shift.

The best example of Paradigm Shift is Possibilism to Eternalism in loosecog.

Loosecog Science is better and more relevant than any chapter (field) in Thagard’s book Conceptual Revolutions.

Theorists of Science are looking for the best example of Scientific Discovery.

The best example of Scientific Discovery and Theory Revision is, learning Eternalism, subjecting personal control to the court/judgment/testing, revision, to gain broader explanatory scope and gain explanatory power.

You have to both add Eternalism, and revise the old theory (Possibilism).

Phase 1. Naive Possibilism thinking.

Transformation Process X: [magic happens here, Kuhn’s Chaos, here be dragons/The Shadow] [but Thagard’s Lantern]. Something to do with an angel of God giving you a message by hanging you from a tree above a sword, that’s how the best instance of Scientific Discovery works, and should be the new model for how all fields of science are conducted, even though we don’t fully understand why hanging scientists by their right leg, above a sword, on 3 msh’s, is the most authoritative way to conduct hypothesis formation and testing and peer review in every field of Science.

Phase 2. Eternalism (new) + Revised Possibilism — result can be called “one system” but, systems are separated into modules. You end up w/ one 2-part mental model.

Per Ken Wilber: you end up with two, distinct, major, contradictory, but Possibilism-thinking MUST STILL BE KEPT INTACT & USABLE (else crazy/regression; cannot move to the next level in Wilber’s graduated multi-level system.

“Dis-identify with the old developmental structures” (Wilber’s wording) BUT MUST keep the older structures intact, usable, not dismantled/destroyed.

The mind is designed specifically to enable this loosecog REVISION without simple destruction, of egoic freewill moral-agency thinking.

You end up with 1 mind, containing 2 contradictory models: a brand new model (Eternalism) and a modified/qualified model (Possibilism).

The best example of what Scientific Discovery looks like, that fields of Science must follow, is: pink & red initiates at risk of falling onto sword in Canterbury Psalter.

That’s what the REAL “The Scientific Method” looks like: the red initiate upside-down above the sword, touching the cut branch.

A recent Transcendent Knowledge podcast guest focused on my webpage about how to transform thinking basically from Possibilism to Eternalism.

I am glad about that; rewarding. That is good judgment on his part.

/ end of comment

Mytheme {spear}

Addendum, not sure if should post: — save the rough here, but paste for real in the Spear article:

The mind is designed to {sacrifice} (repudiate & qualify/transform), as described by Abraham’s sacrifice of child-thinking, which didn’t exactly directly put risk to a child, but, really did put risk for ctrl stability.

I recognize the sword in the Hanging picture — it’s the same blade that Abraham raised over his own child-thinking!

Which chapter in Conceptual Revolutions covers how that blade works, the one they use on piles of rock altars in all mystic religion? It is the same blade that is used in Jesus’ side, the blade of threatening the mind’s, the blade of the mind threatening the mind’s control power, in order to learn and “force” or “drive” or cause, mental model transformation. Teach the mind about it’s vulnerability, the pine cone on the Maenad’s (she is the initiate guy wearing woman’s garment like leader Dionysus) thyrsus “spear”, the thyrsus “spear” pine cone blade penetrates – it demonstrates control vulnerability; that is how Scientific Discovery works, discovering self-control vulnerability to force/drive/cause the creation and adoption of a new mental model of time and control that is not subject to that failure, that’s not completely at sea, that knows how to receive trust in its own hidden source, ever the source, less hidden now that it previously was. But thinking was always profoundly dependent on that source.

About the Ancient Psychedelia Project
https://www.ancientpsychedelia.com/about-2/ —

Rewritten for simplicity:

“Humans evolved in tandem with ongoing use of entheogens.

“I teach about entheogens throughout history using:
o Research from books.
o Images from coins, artifacts, steles, seals.
o Christian and religious art of which I have built up a large database.

“I spent 30 years researching and writing the book Ancient Psychedelia.

“This website shares information through visual means.

“‘Symbolism’ is the emphasis of this site.

“A key finding of my research, to bear in mind while studying the imagery on this website:

“Mushroom symbolism has been secretly encoded, across cultures, in religious iconography.

“Mushroom symbolism is not always immediately obvious.

“In Egyptian religion, Mushroom symbolism is encoded in a highly specialized manner.

“In Christian art, there are many depictions of “mushroom trees”.

“It can be argued that mushroom images in Christian art do not represent mushrooms. [The man hanging by one leg above the sword positively identifies these Canturbury images as Psilocybin, because of systemic consistent mytheme use. -mh]

“By its nature, symbolic encoding is not intended to be explicit or immediately understood.”

Please Upload and Caption Many More Images, It Is Easy to Find More

As an uploader of images of mushrooms in Christian art since 2002, I can say with certainty, people have barely begun to try to find and upload images — they need to do this. By comparing my image search results 2002 vs 2020, I can see the rate of uploads (slow), and the ease of finding more images (easy). It is easy to find images that aren’t on the web yet, but the rate of uploading such images has been slow. Therefore it is evident that people have barely tried to find such images; the hunt has barely begun.

As tired as I am of the old 2002 game, “spot the mushroom”, people do need to upload and caption articles as “mushroom christ”, “mushroom eden eve tree”, “mushroom tree christian psalter”, and gather such images in pages titled with the words “mushroom” and “christian” and “bible”, to appear in image searches.

Greek art mushroom Amanita
Photo by Michael Hoffman, the theorist of ego death, 10:10 a.m. October 10, 2010
amanitaholygrailheinrich.jpg (703×517)

On November 14, 2020, I positively identified the leopard’s bowl in the Dionysus triumph fresco as Amanita mushroom — not as a fleeting possible hypothesis to consider, like in 2006 with a sense of high uncertainty and skepticism (that was a preliminary, hypothesis-formation phase of the discovery process) — but this time as a conclusion that I commit to and stand behind.

I defensibly concluded that this image represents an Amanita, based on:

  • My own first-hand, close-up inspection and photographing of numerous Amanita specimens. My specimen-photo confirms that a rim can be formed, matching the leopard-fountain image, when the Amanita is upturned but not extremely upturned.
  • The wide stem; the proportions of stem and bowl.
  • The distinctive gills exposed on the outside.
  • The established mushrooms and mythology context of the mosaic.
  • In contrast to the striped tigers, this is a spotted feline, a leopard. The veil-remnant spots are not shown on top of the fountain, but the associated leopard has spots, like an Amanita cap, making the leopard a better choice of feline, to visually match the Amanita fountain, than a tiger would be.

the block universe

In spacetime Physics, the 4-D frozen, pre-existing future and the already-existing past, per the eternalism mental model of time, possibility, and control.

Synonyms:
pre-existence
eternalism

Description from my 1997 theory-spec:

The time axis combines with the 3 dimensions of space to form a 4-dimensional block universe, or crystalline ground of being.

Even if the time axis is warped, relative, or branching, and there are more than 3 dimensions of space, one can coherently and usefully frame the experienced world as an ultimately unchanging, 4-dimensional spacetime block.

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.

If one consistently adopts the mental model of the block universe, the usual sense of exerting the power of choice disappears, and the logic of personal self-determination cancels itself out.

branching

In the ordinary state, the mind experiences itself as steering with power among multiple possibility branches into the future.

Concept Group:
Branching-Possibilities Worldmodel

control cancellation

Cybernetic self-battling, instability, control-cancellation, or seizure due to the mind adhering to the initial, freewill-premised control model.

At the same time as the mind is shown the underlying reality of how self-control works, this causes temporary instability of control, but also teaches and plainly shows that it makes no sense for the mind to be divided aginst its own actual source of thoughts, and there is no choice about the matter anyway.

The puppet (the lower, local locus of self-control virtual power) is incomparably overpowered by the puppetmaster (the normally hidden, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts).

The personal control system moves from cybernetic instability, to stability, becoming {unshakeable} in the altered state of perceiving the uncontrollability of the mind’s source of control-thoughts.

Synonyms:
cancellation of control
cybernetic instability, turmoil, thrashing, seizure
self-battling of personal control power

Related mytheme:

Concept Group:
Control Testing & Cancellation

control-thought injector

The normally hidden, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts, at a given point in time.

{phallus}; not the long {snake}.

The thought-injector is distinct from the long, cross-time, time-spanning, pre-existing worldline of control-thoughts, which is another aspect or angle of “the uncontrollable source of control-thoughts”.

Synonyms:
the control-thought inserter
the veiled control-thought insertor

cybernetic non-control

Concept Group:
Control Testing & Cancellation

calming

Calming the {storm} of cybernetic self-battling, instability, control-cancellation, or seizure due to the mind adhering to the initial, freewill-premised control model.

The personal control system moves from cybernetic instability, to stability, becoming {unshakeable} in the altered state of perceiving the uncontrollability of the mind’s source of control-thoughts.

Related mytheme:

{calming music}
{potion fed to dragon}

Concept Group:
Self-Violation & Higher Controller

cybernetic self-control climax

Grasping increasingly at control and looking at the vulnerability, feeling increasingly out of control control thoughts the more the mind is made to look at the uncontrollability of the source of thoughts, now unveiled and made perceptible.

The mind becomes loosened and more flexible, until the thoughts escalate to full self-threatening and only ratchet in that direction, producing cybernetic contradiction and form a completely non-viable control system.

For this control-escalation and climax to happen, requires adhering to a locally centered locus of control that’s built around illusory premises of wielding autonomous control, while steering in a tree of open, branching possibilities.

The perspective which enables control-cancellation and instability, is also the perspective that changes away from the illusion-based control system.

That perspective brings a mental worldmodel that conforms to the reality, of the uncontrollable source of thoughts.

Then a reset from outside the personal control system happens, given that the source of control-thoughts is outside the personal control system.

Synonyms:
control climax

Concept Group:
Self-Violation & Higher Controller

entheogen-based cybernetics testing

Testing personal control-power in the altered state, checking for and {hunting} and looking for vulnerabilities, to learn about how control works.

Initially leads to seizure, control failure, cybernetic {death}, until the mind learns through testing, the eternalism (pre-existence) worldmodel of control, possibility, and time.

elevated awareness

In the altered state, in effect, awareness is lifted out from and above the personal self-control system, to observe its functioning more clearly than in the ordinary state of consciousness.

Metaperception is the perception of the layer of mental constructs presented to awareness.

In the dissociative state, the world blatantly appears as mental representations which are themselves frozen into the block universe, extension of objects and the controlling ego-entity across time appears to be distributed along a fixed and pre-set stream of time-slices.

The vantage point of awareness can be raised, or stepped back a level, to observe mental construct processing and perception itself. Time is no longer perceived as a flow, but as a frozen expanse.

loose mental construct binding

From my 1997 theory-spec:

Mental constructs are dynamic association matrixes of mental representations, held together by some degree of binding intensity.

Ordinary-state cognition is settled and immersed in standard ruts of patterns and mental associations, such as trying to improvise on a musical instrument but ending up playing repeated patterns.

Having a recognizable personality relies on such habitual patterns of dynamic mental construct associations, which are somewhat dynamic, but are restricted to a characteristic mode.

Synonyms:
loose mental construct association binding

Concept Group:

levels of control

From my 1997 theory-spec:

Moral Agency, Theology, Levels of Control, and Delusion

There is a level of control beyond the ego that gives rise to the ego’s control actions, which are not self-originating. Personal self-control is secondary-level control.

The ego effectively and apparently is the only origin of its actions, but this isolated autonomy of the ego’s power is illusory.

The ego’s power is an epiphenomenon, a mere appearance that arises as a result of the more ultimate driving factor beyond or outside the ego.

The primary level of control is the underlying ground of being, or block universe, which gives rise to the ego’s entire stream of thoughts and control actions.

One hypothetical example of a control hierarchy is God, fate, the lower gods, the block universe, creatures, and finally puppets, fictional characters, virtual agents, and cybernetic devices.

The same logic that implies that creatures are predetermined seems to implies that the hypothetical God would be predetermined as well, unless God were unfathomably different.

Christianity is largely about maintaining the delusion of our freedom, to make us individual moral agents that we cannot logically be.

Even the deterministic variants of Christianity insist on moral agency and moral freedom.

1997:

indirect responsibility, virtually autonomous puppet or automaton —

The Creator, like a programmer, can disclaim direct responsibility for the control-actions of his creatures, but he remains indirectly and ultimately responsible.

When a computer artist creates a fractal image, the artist does not directly define every bit of the fractal, but defines general equations and thus indirectly creates every detail.

So has the hypothetical Creator caused our every action, while denying direct responsibility.

Insofar as the Creator avoids direct manipulation of the details of our lives, he can give Satan freedom, the freedom which is sin and delusion.

The Creator’s omnipotence permits only a practical, virtual type of moral freedom.

the mind’s innate transformation sequence

A series of loose-cognitive sessions culminating in complete elimination of naive-possibilism-thinking, resulting in eternalism-thinking plus qualified-possibilism-thinking.

The initiation sequence:
1. Sensory entertainment. Discovery of meta-programing.
2. Nondual unity oneness awareness. Rainbows & unicorns, peace & light; the premature, unearned glimpse of the heaven-realms.
3. The gods’ guarding dragon smells your pollution, your impurity, and wakes up, releasing the Furies.
4. Some purification, try again. Get thrown out, fleeing in terror.
5. more purification, try again.
6. more purification, try again.
7. more purification, try again.
8. sacrifice, purification.
9. wedding banquet, bridal chamber. <– the proper return, now “earned“, of nondual unity oneness awareness.
10. singing praise to God with the angels.

Beginners’ Nondual Unity Oneness Awareness, versus Completed Initiates’ Nondual Unity Oneness Awareness

The early initiation stage, and the final initiation stage after reaching Completion (of transformation from possibilism to eternalism), both include nondual unity oneness awareness.

The beginner has not yet discovered the cybernetic control-seizure vortex; has not become as acquainted with it as the bride has become well-acquainted with her husband’s body inside of her.

The situation is reminiscent of Ken Wilber’s concept “the pre/trans fallacy”: something from before a big change, can mistakenly look like after a change, but there are important differences.

mental construct processing

Everything that’s present to awareness is a mental construct.

Mental constructs are highly dynamic association matrixes, held together by some degree of binding intensity.

Deep re-indexing of mental construct groups (such as concepts of “time” and “change” together) enables a wholesale mental model shift or inversion to another mode.

nondual unity oneness awareness

Mere beginners’, overestimated, nondual unity oneness awareness.

The beginner’s stage of accessing the loosecog state, when the beginner thinks they are advanced and enlightened, saying “I am God”. Unicorns. Rainbows.

Next, all Hell breaks loose and the intruder gets kicked out of heaven, fleeing in terror and panic, mumbling inarticulately about “the shadow”, while trying to shield their eye and cover the place where they are naked and vulnerable, exposed.

This is part of the mind’s innate transformation sequence, prior to catching sight of the seizure attractor vortex.

psychedelic eternalism

A psychedelics-induced experiential shift from Possibilism to Eternalism.

The Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence is psychedelic eternalism. The Cybernetic theory is not analogical psychedelic eternalism; the analogy theory is covered by the other half of the Egodeath theory, which is called the Mytheme theory, for short.

The Mytheme theory is, in long form:
the analogical psychedelic eternalism theory of religious mythology;
the analogical psychedelic pre-existence theory of religious mythology.

The last 2/3 of the phrase “analogical psychedelic eternalism” (or, “analogical psychedelic pre-existence”) describes the first phase, the historically first half, of the Egodeath theory development (1985-1997): the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence.

That theory (the Cybernetic theory), by definition doesn’t have the Mytheme portion.

By definition, all coverage of Mythemes is placed in the Mytheme theory half of the Egodeath theory (the historically second half of the Egodeath theory).

‘Eternalism’ (or: ‘pre-existence’) in the Egodeath theory, includes & emphasizes nullification of personal control cybernetics.

In the context of the Egodeath theory, ‘eternalism’ is not only focusing on a spacetime model, but especially, on the nullification of personal control power which William James correctly recognized as a huge, profoundly problematic ramification of the single-future, frozen, “iron block universe”, as James referred to Minkowski’s concept.

‘eternalism here is not merely about the philosophy of spacetime Physics., but is about the deepest and innermost assumed personal identity.

William James astutely recognized that Hermann Minkowski’s block universe idea is painfully relevant to personal control.

It is under-appreciated, the huge effect or impact, that eternalism and the block universe concept have, on undermining personal control power.

puppethood

From my 1997 theory-summary (partly rewritten here, in December 2020):

Self-Distrust, Self-Violation of Personal Control, and Becoming Conscious of Subjection to a Higher-Level Controller:

At the peak of grasping transcendent knowledge and fully confronting one’s inability to restrain one’s actions in the near future, one can completely lose trust in oneself, but the mind now perceives its previously veiled enslavement to the hidden source of control-thoughts.

The mind was always at the mercy of the uncontrollable external controller, but wasn’t able to perceive that situation.

There literally is no choice but to trust what has been and always will be, the mysterious hidden source of control thoughts, the hidden puppetmaster over oneself as puppet.

The conscious mind merely has to catch up with the underlying reality and consciously understand the {true king} has always been in control of the {female} mind, the helpless passive thought-receptacle.

It’s a cybernetically effective and compelling move, an irresistible offer, since the mind has consciously been adducted by the forceful previously hidden controller, the mind is made to project a trustworthy entity to a higher level in the control hierarchy and place faith in that entity instead of in oneself, that is, let the entity take one’s cybernetic {helm} of self-control.

A {prayer} is a committed assumption and transmitted communication.

The mind is brought to trust, pray, and re-stabilize.

The creator of the block universe created it such that one’s future stream of thoughts and actions are not disastrous to one’s integrity of selfhood as a cross-time controller with values and investments.

This assumes a personal god, because the universe itself is not easily conceived of as a controlling agent able to hear and respond.

Concept Group:

transformative cybernetic seizure

Rescue of the personal self-control system that’s inevitably & certainly headed for & compelled & escalating toward catastrophic loss of control, from outside the personal control system.

This is the all-important king of topics, the central topic of the self-control climax: transformative cybernetic seizure, and what that is really all about.

The goal of Transcendent Knowledge or gnosis is not “how to avoid self-control seizure”, but rather, how to understand and make use of the transformative dynamics involved in seeing this potential of the mind, being attracted and drawn toward it, to touch it, engage with it, know it, and become familiar with it — this most transcendent and sacred potential of the mind, the potential of the personal self-control system to be brought to transcend itself, producing transformation of the mental model of self, time, possibility, and control — to {know and fear God}.

The god resets and transforms and resets a personal control system that is in a state of {wrecked, broken, failed, destroyed, doomed-for-harm, accursed, control-seized, sunk-ship, defeated, capsized}.

The more that the personal control system thinks, tests, perceives, & comprehends the situation and tries to avoid the increasingly visible doom, the personal control system is increasingly and rapidly headed for doom. Looking at the situation brings the situation closer, becoming a crisis situation.

Seeing and thinking about and testing the crisis-situation vulnerability, brings the interesting and fascinating cybernetic self-control crisis rushing even more clearly into view.

The personal control system is drawn into the vortex to the point of forcing or causing a new mental model, a required sacrifice and repudiation of the old, childhood-mode thinking, and a system reset of the personal control system into a new mode: eternalism-thinking, accompanied by a now qualified (rather than naive) possibilism-thinking.

God transforms and resets the mind’s personal control system, {deus ex machina, rescuing from certain shipwreck, salvation and rescue from outside the system, as his slave owing him his life, transformed and un-harmed}.

Transcendent Knowledge

The knowledge that’s in the Egodeath theory; gnosis, but as understood using direct, modern, scientific language and clear model-based representation of the target knowledge.

Of the two halves of the Egodeath theory, ‘Transcendent Knowledge’ refers more to the Cybernetic theory than the Mytheme theory.

‘Transcendent Knowledge’ primarily refers to the Cybernetic theory (the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence); not so much to the Mytheme theory (the analogical psychedelic eternalism theory of religious mythology).

‘Transcendent Knowledge’ refers mostly the non-mytheme part of the Egodeath theory.

I coined the name “the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence”, for the non-myth-based original theory (the Cybernetic theory), in 1988 during my Phase 1 non-mytheme theory development, when my motivation for theory-development was to obtain expected cross-time self-control.

Analogy-literacy (tradition-conversant mytheme-literacy) is appropriate, too, as a non-essential part of Transcendent Knowledge.

Theory of Mythemes: Decodings, Mappings, Referents, & Breakthroughs

Theory of Mythemes; Decoding a Mytheme; & Mappings in a Decoding

Core Concepts of Egodeath
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/17/glossary-for-the-egodeath-theory/

Every mytheme is understood to be in the altered state and in some way is about transformation of the mental worldmodel from Possibilism to Eternalism. Entries are more specific than that.

About the Key Mythemes Page

Two Laws of Mytheme Decoding:

  • A mytheme is never literal. A mytheme is a description-by-analogy.
    • A mytheme is a description-by-analogy, of things that are observed and experienced in the altered state.
    • We only have to identify which specific thing in the altered state, is most isomorphic with this particular mytheme.
    • Whatever this mytheme means, we know one thing for certain, that we can rule out: a mytheme never refers to (as its *primary* referent) the thing that it uses as the representation-symbol.
    • eg {woman}, whatever it means, most certainly does *not* mean a literal woman.
    • {ear of grain harvested}, whatever it means, most certainly does not mean “a literal ear of grain, harvested”, as its primary referent.
  • Mythemes describe things in the intense mystic altered state.
    • All mythemes are in mushroom-Mythemeland.
    • A mytheme is a description-by-analogy, of things that are observed and experienced in the intense mystic altered state from mushrooms (or equivalent entheogen; any fully effective cognitive-loosening agent).

Every entry in this mytheme list assumes: in the altered state; the loose cognitive association binding state.

REMEMBER NONE OF THESE ARE LITERAL! THESE MYTHEMES ARE ALL ASPECTS OF THE MIND, dynamics that are experienced & made visible specifically in the altered state! “WOMAN” DOES NOT MEAN WOMAN! NOTHING IS LITERAL.

A {family} of three, carved on an altar, does not mean a literal family; it primarily depicts the mystic {family}; that is, a single initiate, with multiple distinct mental worldmodels.

A mytheme is a description by analogy, of something that is experienced or perceived in the altered state (loosecog).

Whenever discussing mythemes, such as in the “Key Mythemes” catalog entries, it is to be understood that:

  • Mythemes are in context of the altered state; loose cognition.
  • Mythemes are description by analogy.
  • Thus together:
    Mythemes are description by analogy, of things that are observed and experienced in the altered state

Mytheme explanations are written in the following concise form, in the Key Mythemes catalog and other Egodeath theory writings.

This concise form focuses on the particular, distinctive meaning of that mytheme, given that all mythemes are analogies describing things that are observed and experienced in the intense altered state.

{snake}

The worldline of control-thoughts.

That definition means:

The mytheme {snake} is a description by analogy, of the worldline of control-thoughts, experienced and perceived in the intense mystic altered state.

Definition of ‘Mytheme’, ‘Decoding’, ‘Mapping’, & ‘Breakthrough’

mytheme

mytheme – a description, by analogy, of referents in the altered state. For example, {rock} is a mytheme, and block universe is a referent, and these equations are a mapping from the mytheme to the referent.

{rock} = block universe.
{snake} = worldline.
{wine} = entheogen.
{king} = pseudo-autonomous center of personal control power, steering through the tree of apparently branching possibilities.

decoding

decoding – a set of mappings of interrelated mythemes to interrelated referents.

A decoding is a set of mappings, from interrelated mythemes to interrelated referents.

mapping

An equation of a mytheme and a referent.

referent

referent — Anything that can be experienced, perceived, or observed in the altered state, of loose cognitive associating binding. In the decoding of a mytheme, the mytheme is mapped to a referent. For example, the mytheme {rock} is resolved by mapping it to the referent, the block universe.

breakthrough

A breakthrough like my non-mytheme-related, directly expressed breakthrough in 1988, is bringing together, re-inter-relating, items such as loosecog, block universe, non-control, and ego transcendence.

See Paul Thagard’s book Conceptual Revolutions, for a model and explanation of the reconnections involved in theory-expansion and theory-replacement.

Terminology (general/sort/move)

Glossary for referents (non-mytheme) terms in explanations within the “Mytheme List” page; a referent is anything that is experienced, observed in the loose cognitive, altered state.

Breakthroughs that Are Not Centered on Mytheme-Decoding

The Difference Between My Non-Mytheme, “Block Universe/ Ego Transcendence/ Loose Cognition/ No-Free-Will/ Non-Control” Breakthrough, vs. my biggest “Mytheme-Decoding/Mapping Breakthrough” (tree vs. snake = Possibilism vs Eternalism)

In my “Block Universe/ Ego Transcendence/ Loose Cognition/ No-Free-Will/ Non-Control” breakthrough, that involved reconnections within the referent area: consisting of two types of perceptants, all within the referent-realm:/ referent-domian (no mytheme-domain involved): OSC-perceived items, now perceived in ASC perspective, and also, OSC-imperceptible items, now made perceptible in the ASC.

—–

So, categories involved in the explanation of two kinds of breakthroughs:

The referent domain portion A: OSC perceptants; things that are perceived in OSC and (differently) in ASC.

The referent domain portion B: ASC perceptants; things that are not perceived in OSC, but are perceived, for the first time, in ASC.

The mytheme domain – not involved in my purely scientific, non-analogy-based breakthrough forming the Core theory (the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence) in January 1988. Was the central focus of my November 2013 “tree vs snake”(that’s mappings among mytheme-domain items) = that’s mappings from the mytheme domain to the referent domain) Possibilism vs Eternalism (that Possibilism/ Eternalism pair is connections within the referent plane).

—–

Reconnection happens during the ASC.

The things that are perceived in the ASC are things that are perceived in the OSC but now are seen differently in ASC, and also, things that are not seen in the OSC, that become perceptible in the ASC experiential perspective.

I here list out all the elements/factors that are identified above, to specify a perfect model.

referents are all things seen in the ASC, including:
o Some things that are seen in the OSC (but now, in the ASC, seen differently).
o Things that are NOT perceptible in the OSC, but become perceptible in ASC.

In my “Mytheme-Decoding/Mapping Breakthrough” breakthrough, that involved __.

My January 1988 Core Theory breakthrough of the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence, not involving mythemes

See History page, but the point to make here, is,

What’s the difference between a breakthrough of mytheme decoding, versus my breakthrough in the Core theory before I knew anything about mythemes?

My January 1988 breakthrough, or my “October 1987 to February 1988” breakthrough on a broader scale, was like a chapter straight out of Conceptual Revolutions, but with the understanding that the “Old Theory” usually is no “theory” at all, but fragmented confusion.

It’s more a matter of “the Old Non-Theory” vs. “the New Actual-Theory”.

I went from my, say 1980-1985 way of thinking, to a new, 1987-1988 way of thinking, which was finally made consistent and purged of remaining sin and impurity and pollution, in my moment of conversion/completion, which was around 1995.

Although I was fished out and rescued by a vision of Christ Crucified, and I probably read Gnosis issues by then, and I had decoded Rock lyrics for a few years, even that late, final event of my Core Theory Development was essentially nothing to do with mythemes or revelations about mythemes.

I was saved by the vision of a mytheme, yet, I thought in terms of historicity; Mr. Historical Jesus, envisioned bloody on the cross as a vision, not requiring historical reality of any actual violence. I was saved by an idea of self-violation taken to completion in the visionary example of Jesus crucified. That was around 1995, shortly before my baptism —

I might have my peak-conversion/ purification/ rescue/{fishing-out} date written on a cassette of buzz and feedback at Egodeath.com home page.

A breakthrough of mytheme decoding can shake me very hard although you’d think not, because it in theory didn’t change my core theory, but merely added periphery content.

YET it shook me extremely hard in November 2013 tree vs snake decoding breakthrough — gave huge confirmation of my core theory, in some way. my theory keeps changing; that is, growing, covering more fields, which involves more connections to the Core, possibly (surely in some sense:) reconnections within the 1988-founded Core.

Instantaneous vs. Gradual Transformation — Two Models in Myth

Stages and Levels: 1 door, or 12 doors, and 10 levels of initation, as in Mithraism.

In the standard simplified, all-at-once model, there’s a 1-time taking of the personal control system (it’s female).

The personal control system rises up — or instantly toggles to, or over 40 minutes rises up, to the higher loosecog mode.

The sphere of the fixed stars contains the mushrooms.

When the personal control system jumps or flips into the loosecog mode, the child gets cut away by Saturn’s scythe instantly.

The mind (in the instantaneous model) immediately gains 100% myth-literacy and Transcendent Knowledge, the instant — the 40 minutes — mushrooms switch the mental state, as fast as that rocket engine takes.

That quickly, as fast as God’s mercy, all of the mind’s perishability is zapped like Semele instantly giving birth to Dionysus.

Like a single massive shake of Persephone’s filter, strips all mortality instantly in one blow.

Not 50 years gradually losing virginity.

That mind is now immediately a completed mature initiate.

That’s the exaggeratedly extreme binary model.

Versus: purgatory for a long time gradually burning away mortality.

Some hellish Wilberian 16-step, 4-quadrant, untenable drawn-out multi-life-long Project. Through pscyhospiritual developmntal stagificationism. Stretch out the duration — spiritual professionals dole it out in tiny increments.

Think binary: either Kore in the ordinary state of consciousness, or toggle: jump to the other *orbit*, an orbit-jump, a binary flip from the ordinary state of consciousness to the altered state, from tightcog to loosecog, from earth to Saturn the child-preventing-entering gate.

The instant, binary-state model. Not “gradually ascend” per slow ptolemaic astral ascent mysticism, but instantly flip/toggle/jump up to Saturn/fixed stars/emperiam. A 3-in-one gate reduced to a single gate, binary toggle like myths often.

The simple standard model: virgin maiden, altered state, abducted, seduced, overpowered, climaxes, dies, gives birth, to the new, consciously 2-part self, the god-aware mental worldmodel of time, self, possibility, and control.

All of that happens all at one point in time, in many of the myths, as completely as losing virginity.

Semele had been sleeping with Zeus repeatedly, in the dark, before her instantaneous zapping in a flash of lightning — a drawn-out storyline combined with instant climax action.

The personal control system is exposed to the altered state fire, burning away… gradually over several nights, or imagined as instant — 2 opposite ideas in myth, the “instant” model like in quick-running myth narratives:

{maiden virgin abducted impregnated dies gives birth to god-boy}

The events happen as fast as the poet can sing them.

The innate design of the personal control system is such that it is female in response and outcome.

She the female-acting, female-functioning mind gives birth to the final mental worldmodel, god-aware, the control-thought-injection {phallus} now exposed, having been exposed once or more. Watts Does Mystery Religion.

The normally veiled, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts.

A goddess dangles a boy over fire night after night in a series of 10 initiations to make him immortal by burning off his mortal aspects – not instantly in that story.

Does the initiate pass through one door, the eternalism door (price: sacrifice the childhood self and world, put away childish things), is it one big Heaven’s Gate, or is it a series of 10 doorways?

Either way is a true (incomplete) description; need both — alternate between transformation from possibilism to eternalism happens al at once a la Watts Does M-r m-r , rising through 10 gateways, or is it 1 gateway?

Both, from different scales/perspectives.

It’s a drawn-out sequence, and it can be quick like my January 1988 discovery of combining some 7 basic ideas forming clearly a new coherent system, a coherent theory pulled itself together.

My circa 1995 conversion removing remaining old thinking, with a rescuing vision of {Christ crucified}

How I Got Started Decoding Mythemes

I did much historical reconstruction of my path from 1985 to 1997, but oddly, I have a gap in my reconstruction in the transition from:

Phase 1 – Core theory; the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence; no mythemes: 1985-1997) –

Rock Lyrics Decoding – 1988-1992+

Decoding Rock lyrics as description of referents in the altered state.

Diary of a Madman (Bob Daisley, Ozzy Osbourne) in late 1988.

In 1991 or 1992, I really got started decoding Rock lyrics, mapping them to altered-state referents.

Gnosis Issues in mid-1990s, into 1999

In the 1990s, I did read the Gnosis issues. I’m critical of their special issue on Psychedelics.

Phase 2 (Mytheme mapping to Core theory, and historical research on ahistoricity of religious founder figures, history of Western Esotericism in Antiquity)

1998: was given book on probably on Roman Religion, or Mystery Religions (red-pink-peach cover with image, probably). I had read the Gnosis journal set in 1995 era.

1999: I was expecting and looking for Jesus to be asserting my the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence, but the thing that made no sense was why he was get himself harmed bodily. I hadn’t heard of ahistoricity yet.

I got Clark Heinrich’ book Strange Fruit this yera (most likely), which perhaps got me started thinking in the mode of mytheme decoding.

From that book, I found the priest’s book bemusedly rebutting Allegro – both his ahistoricity theory, and his mushroom-Christianity theory.

Finally I got Allegro’s book, The Mushroom & The Cross.

Around 2000, I posted a lot in the JesusMysteries Yahoo Group. People wanted to know about my entheogen theory combined with ahistoricity, but the Mods woudln’t let people discuss this popular requested coverage. Peter Gandy followed me onto there for a copule posts at least.

I met privately with Freke & Gandy around 1999, an underground coffeehouse conversation.

I read the sketchy entheogen scholarship books at the time, best (besides Heinrich) was James Arthur’s book Mushrooms & Mankind.

Arthur would call me when he was drunk.

Arthur told me on the phone that he agreed with everything in my Theory — which could seem surprising, except, by 2002, I discovered that per Pagels’ first two books, the entire set of beliefs held by the Gnostics (esoterics), diametrically opposed on every point to the Orthodox (exoterics), also aligned perfectly with my coherent, integrated set of ideas.

I found Pagels’ first 3 books via Freke & Gandys book, which is like a sequel of Gnostic Gospels. I don’t recall exactly how I had the good sense to go from her 3rd book, GG, to her 1st & 2nd. I believe my sequence of books was:

Strange Fruit
Clark Heinrich

A Christian View of the Mushroom Myth
John Charles King
http://amzn.com/0340125977
1970
London; Hodder & Stoughton
Customer review 2004 excerpts:

John C. King wrote for his Christian readers this piece against the ideas of Christianity being based on the mushrooms or drugs.

King’s opinions are narrow-minded, prejudiced, and lacking any amount of education whatsoever on other religions other than his Christianity; he uses circular biblical arguments.

King argues as a priest.

Allegro studied as a minister.

Not only can King not see that the Eleusinian mysteries were based on drugs, as well as Greek mythology as laid out in recent [he writes in 2004; here’s a nice historical snapshot of which entheogen scholarship books were hot at the time] publications by Yale University and others:

Persephone’s Quest by Wasson, Ott and Ruck
Apples of Apollo by Ruck, Staples, and Heinrich
[Strange Fruit; the 2nd print-run was titled:] Magic Mushrooms in Religion and Alchemy by Heinrich
Food of the Gods by McKenna
Soma – Divine Hallucinogen by David Spess
Mushrooms and Mankind by James Arthur

but King even avoided other publications existing at the time such as “Soma – Divine Mushroom of Immortality” by R Gordon Wasson in order to make his case.”

Incoming Mytheme Entries & Dictionary Entries
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/12/02/incoming-mytheme-entries-dictionary-entries/

Religious mythology and its mythemes are description by analogy of visionary plants causing loose cognitive association binding, which gives the experience of a frozen block-universe rock, with a person’s past and future control-thoughts laid out in the spacetime block along a snake-shaped path frozen in rock, with personal non-control, control consciously depending on a hidden source of pre-existing control thoughts.

It doesn’t matter what the artist, poet, or writer thought, about a mytheme they use.

What’s important is to define how one ought to to understand a mytheme; that is, what mappings should come to mind, given a full understanding, “knowing all things”.

Nov 27 2020 I’m working out what a “complete decoding of a mytheme would be”, in “Idea Development page 3”. What I’ve worked out so far:

What constitutes a good, complete, satisfying decoding?

Shortest possible answer:
mytheme>mytheme
mytheme>referent
referent>referent
referent>mytheme

Demonstrated concretely via the hyperlinks in my Mytheme List page and Dictionary Tech-Terms page.

1. Map the isolated mytheme to the referent domain (something experienced or perceived in ASC).

2. Mapping the mytheme to other mythemes of some 4 types: duo-pairs/complements; near-synonyms, & antonyms. & general/particular eg branching/tree, rock/altar, rock/cave, nonbranching/snake, nonbranching/vine, even more specific is nonbranching/ivy (one type of vine). one type of nonbranching is vine; one type of vine is ivy.

3. Mapping all the related mythemes to the referent-domain.

A decoding is a set of mappings, relations, and connections.

A decoding of a new incoming mytheme consists of:

0. Specifying the mapping of the isolated new incoming mytheme, to a single referent.

1. Specifying the set of relations (or, “cross-mappings“) among the new mytheme and other mythemes.

2. Specifying the set of mappings from those mythemes to their referents.

3. Specifying the set of connections among referents in Referentspace. eg, here forbidding the employment of any unnecessary mythemes, but only speeaking directly (as possible) of things that are observed/experienced in loosecog: “A worldline is frozen into the block universe, nullifying autonomous personal control power that was seemingly steering in a tree.” Equivalent to saying: the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence explains the relation between loosecog, block universe, and self-control cybernetics across time, and how mental worldmodels work, and how the Possibilism mental worldmodel transforms to the Eternalism model”.

referents, in Referentspace = things experienced, seen, mentally grasped, or observed in the ASC; the loose cognitive association state; the intense mystic altered state. A referent, here, is something that is experienced or observed in the ASC — a thing which might be the case in OSC too, even if occluded then.

A decoding of a mytheme is a set of mappings: ( say 5 things about those “mappings” — in the Mythemes domain (“Mythemeland”),

1. you must show the relation of the “new mytheme” with all known mythemes — there are 4 types of relationships — and,

2. you must map all mythemes that connect w/ the “new mytheme”, to the Referent domain (aka “Referentland”) — and,

3. thirdly, to complete the set, you must make sure to cross-map and items in Referentspace to each other, that are affected by the above mappings from Mythemespace to Referentspace.

Terminology

“loosecog” in the broad sense means all of this: the entheogenic altered state, which is loose cognitive association binding and its experiential cognitive phenomenology, including mental model transformation from Possibilism to Eternalism; transforming the mental model of time, possibility, and control, from freewill-premised possibility branching, to no-free-will/monopossibility and non-control aka depending consciously on a hidden uncontrollable source & creator of control-thoughts.

“decoding a mytheme” means identifying how a mytheme is analogous to loosecog. It also means how to “read” a mystic image, a “scene”, a “diagram”, in esoteric art — reading a spread of mythemes in relation to other, interlinked mythemes such as “debranched mushroom tree”.

The experienced, mytheme-literate eye knows what to look for when decoding a scene: male/female, reins/steering, rock, king, ruler, visionary plants, branching/non-branching.

One of my recent decodings/discoveries about branching, to read mushroom trees: use the Eden mushroom tree as a height gauge relative to branching legs and to heads. What is the relative height of the head and the branching?

Inventory all branching in the picture, as I did with the Eden tree image in Campbell’s book The Power of Myth (my November 26 2013 breakthrough), as I analyzed and “mytheme-read” the Eden tree with some 4-5 branching themes packed into it.

The king’s head is at the place where the trunk meets the branches, that’s where he decides where to steer among the branching possibilities. Eve is looking, profoundly, at the branches at the underside of the mushroom cap, below the fruit and birds and leaves of the mushroom cap.

This is decoding art mythemes, how to read a mystic image, by doing a branching analysis, inventorying any rocks, any sacrifices (implies rock altar).

The entheogenic altered state is (specifically and directly describing it) loose cognitive association binding, per the comprehensive sense — not just the cognitive fact of loosening, but rather, the set of experiential cognitive phenomenology.

Some aspects of loose cognition are developmental, as the mind transforms from Possibilism to Eternalism, and narrative-over-time applies here. First X, then Y, then Z. That can be a direct non-metaphorical description of how the mental model develops and transforms. Or it can be heavily cast as story narrative, “There was a king named …”

Some aspects are more static, such as metaperception. These non-time-dependent, non-developmental aspects can be included in a story narrative, “the king looked into a mirror”.

A mytheme is a description by analogy, of the cognitive phenomenology of the altered-state, loose cognitive state.

Mythemes are a description of altered-state experiencing.

There doesn’t have to be a narrative; there can be not much of a narrative.

Western Esotericism diagrams are meant to be “read” as a diagram. You can order the elements in a sequence, but they are not presented in a sequence, and it would be arbitrary to treat the diagrammatic picture as subservient to some assumed-to-exist “narrative story”.

Against Narrative

Mine is an anti-narratives definition of the term ‘mythemes’.

It’s bad news, if the term ‘mytheme’ connotes narratives — I have to tear the good term ‘mythemes’ out of the hands of those who weld it to narratives.

I don’t think in terms of narrative.

I’m at the extreme other end of the spectrum than narrative: I like Western Esotericism diagrams or analyzing Mithraic images for which we lack all the narratives.

Don’t privilege poetic recitation linear narratives over visual art. Don’t turn mytheme-art into a soap-opera framework. eg to decode an Eden tree art, don’t automatically drag in the Genesis storytelling narrative, of “the fall” or “guilty about eating”.

The proper, primary reading of “guilt” is: Eternalism cancels moral culpability, so knowing and experiencing Eternalism teaches “the knowledge of good and evil”.

You can omit the complex Genesis narrative and decode the scene elements independently of that narrative, which was only one configuration of the mythemes in archaic times, of forms of the Eden tree.

The fruit as “knowledge of good and evil” is independent of any story narrative, such as Genesis. It’s to be decoded by mapping it to loosecog (per the Egodeath theory Core theory), not to some arbitrary narrative among many potential narratives.

The meaning of a given mytheme comes primarily from loosecog, not from a narrative that happens to incorporate that mytheme.

The REAL sequence is what happens during transforming Possibilism to Eternalism.

Privilege cognitive phenomenology during a series of altered-state initiation sessions, not poets’ storytelling, which is only one way of communicating descriptions of what happens in loosecog including transformation of the mental model of control and time, sacrificing freewill-premised personal control-thinking on a rock altar, flames burning away perishability.

Mithraic rock-carved diagrams or images can be artificially forced into a linear, narrative storytelling structure; for example: “the snake wrapped itself around the egg, during 7 initiations, and then, the initiate was reborn from the rock”.

Such “storytime” presentation is reductionistic; mis-placed focus or center-of-emphasis. That’s letting the story-narrative cart drive the loosecog-dynamics horse. Storytelling is only one form of describing what happens in looosecog. Mythemes are description of loosecog.

Mythemes describe loose cognition. There is no need to even mention “narrative”. Narrative is only one way of describing loose cognition.

Mytheme Needing No Narrative: cista mystica

Example of a standalone mytheme that needs no narrative story: cista mystica {snake revealed in basket with lid lifted}

narrative-free mythemes.

cista mystica eg. on a coin — snake hidden and revealed in a basket by removing the lid, is a good example of a standalone mytheme with, I hope, no narrative behind it at all.

cista mystica coin
https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=cista+mystica+coin

cista mystica — snake hidden and revealed in a basket by removing the lid, and dying from fear and panic falling off the rock cliff like the girls who fell to their death — now I’m slipping into “narrative mode”.

_____________

I go in-and-out of narrative mode freely.

You can have a fully meaningful snake-basket mytheme on a coin, with no need whatsoever to force it to be placed artificially within a storytelling narrative.

I see each mytheme as general-purpose: a mytheme can be used within a narrative, but it’s not like the mytheme is of no value until it’s forced into a narrative jail.

The mytheme is to be decoded by me, totally independently of knowing anything about the narrative.

I don’t know that much about long-winded mythic narratives.

I know tropes.

Narrative must be demoted as merely one way, among many, to put a mytheme to use.

The mytheme gets its meaning not from a narrative, but rather, from the mind’s built-in narrative of the initiation sequence, which is a simplified equivalent of “the hero’s journey”.

Or rather, the “hero’s journey” model is an indirect, roundabout, artificial elaboration of the basic description of loose cognitive state. Assume all myth stories are variants of “hero’s journey” — that fails to explain what the hero’s hourney is really about. To properly explain the hero’s journey, must map it to loosecog. Loosecog includes both static and developmental aspects.

Direct Description of Loosecog, vs. Mythemes Describing Loosecog Indirectly by Analogy, vs. Storytime Narrative

Here, don’t mix direct & indirect (metaphor/mytheme) writing; keep them separated. 3 distinct things:

o Direct description of how the mind works in loosecog

o Analogy/metaphor/mythemes that indirectly (or less directly) describe how the mind works in loosecog

o Storytime linear narrative with a cast of characters with names. As soon as you go into storytelling mode, you necessariy move away from direct discussion of the mind’s dynamics as such. We should be primarily talking about, and referencing, how the mind works, not a cast of a thousand characters’ names.

With the Egodeath system of decoding of mythemes (ie in terms of Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism), it’s possible to write in a 3-layered or 3-aspect way, or a 3-perspective way: direct description of loosecog phenom including transformation-over-time phenom but not limited to that; 2) mythemes as analogy-based description of that same referent, but with no added narrative, not even for the develop-over-time phenom, 3) adding storytelling “There was a king named…”

1. Direct description of the mental developmental innate trajectory listed below; direct description of how loosecog works to transform the mental model. It is linear-structured, or rather it has/includes linear-structured aspects. You can describe metaperception, “it’s like a mirror”, without reference to a developmental trajectory.

There are 2 kinds of loosecog phenom to describe:

o Aspects of loosecog that develop over time (dynamic; that is, developmental dynamics; trajectory-over-time aspects of loosecog), and

o Aspects that don’t develop over time (static — alas can also be called “dynamics”, in the broad sense of ‘dynamics’; static dynamics eg “the dynamics of metaperception” (poor example)).

Storytime linear narratives are suited for describing the developmental dynamics of loosecog, and then those narratives can also, along the way, incorporate mythemes that describe the non-developmental aspects of loose cognitive phenomenology, such as {torn to pieces} (meaning loose cognitive state mental constructs representing the body & mind).

2. Use of mythemes, but without any fictional narrative. {king; snake} But ths is totally distinct from storytime narrative with named cast of thousands. A Western Esotericism diagram could show a crown, or throne image, or God’s hand-of-control coming out of the cloud — with no narrative implied whatsoever.

o Storytime narrative with named cast of thousands. “There was a king named..”

I’m firmly based in scientific direct system-description of the mind and mental models as such, and then off to the side, without my depending on mythemes/metaphors, I’m mapping from that core basis of reference, out to arbitrary fanciful metaphors that are relatively indirect descriptions of loose cognitive phenomena.

The True Basic Narrative That’s Built Into the Mind, Later Elaborated-over by Florid Roundabout Storytime Narratives

The Mind’s Innate Developmental Trajectory – the master pattern for arbitrary indirect elaborations (which largely serve to obscure, rather than shed light on, the plain goings-on) such as Hero’s Journey:

First the child knows only the OSC, which is the freewill Possibilism state of consciousness and a mental model of control and time.

Then a series of entheogenic loose cog sessions. {initiation (series actually)}

The testing personal control power, and seeing it fail. {judging in court trial}

Seeing and testing its vulnerability.

experiencing frozen time and non-control.

Repudiating dependence on freewill-premised, Possibilism-thinking.

Then during that peak of that initiation session, the mind continues on, still in loose cognition while the mind continues revising connections after that major transformation to Eternalism-thinking.

The mind returns to the ordinary tight-cognitive state after transforming the mental model of time and control.

Then after that, more loose cognitive sessions.

____________________

THAT is what mythemes describe. That is the mind’s true, built-in, minimal narrative.

I reject “myth” (where it’s equated with storytime narrative tale-spinning); I decode mythemes.

Decoding mythemes means mapping each mytheme to loose-cognitive phenomena; identifying how the mytheme is an analogy that describes and is isomorphic with the experiences and events that occur in the loose cognitive association binding state.

Description of loosecog, the land of mythemes, can take many forms – visual art, esoteric diagrams, narrative storytelling in lyre-accompanied poetic altered-state improvisation song at a club banqueting party symposium.

Myth theorists who insist on prioritizing the “linear narrative” frame, are too locked into domino-chain linear time, in their own, limited, anti-mythic experiencing.

Mythemes truly are broader than that.

Storytime linear narrative is only one of various ways to present and utilize mythemes.

https://www.bing.com/search?q=mytheme

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mytheme — “a minimal unit that is linked with other, related mythemes and reassembled in various ways (“bundled”) … a fundamental generic unit … from which myths narratives [misguided -mh] can be constructed”

A soon as I saw that definition of mytheme, I knew we weren’t on the same page, that the writer was not properly based in loosecog phenom, but was treating the story-narratives more like the basic point of reference. He’s extracting mythemes from story narratives, but he should instead be extracting mythemes from loose cognitive phen. The point of reference for a mytheme is not “What tales is this mytheme used in?“, but rather, “How is this mytheme analogous to loose cog phen?“

“Structuralism” might mean, too much, storytelling structure. We should be spending most time discussing and thinking in terms of, and in reference to, loose cog phen, not fiction stories narratives.

The bad theorists of mythemes, are merely theorists of myth-narratives — they steer by the wrong star; 2nd-hand roundabout. the Egodeath theory starts at the source (even historically speaking; 1985-1997), and later (historically, 1999-2013) added mapping-to-myth, aka “myth decoding”.

The bad theorists of mythemes = The bad theorists of myths = the bad theories of myth. Read Cyb’s page (or as always, my Egodeath Yahoo Group posts) as if it were about “Theories of Mythemes” instead of “Theories of Mythology”:

Evaluating Theories of Mythemes
https://cyberdisciple.wordpress.com/evaluating-theories-of-mythology/

Ideally, to decode a mytheme-scene, such as a Mithraism tauroctony or snake-wrapped egg or Mithras born from rock, or a Western Esotericism diagram image, you would need two different things:

o The Egodeath theory Core theory (non-metaphorical, no myth, no history-of-religion). To decode mythemes, this is more important than knowing the myth-stories/narratives. When I define the word ‘mythemes’, my true, ideal foundation is loosecog — not an arbitary and confusing set of stories, a jumble of noise and signal.

o Understand the Bible stories and Greek mythology stories/narratives and literature. “There was an evil king named… He sent the hero to do task…” Bad myth theories know all these narratives, but fail to know the Egodeath Core theory. When they define the word ‘mythemes’, their false foundation is the set of stories, without even realizing the most basic thing, that all these narratives and the mythemes they incorporate are really primarily describing loosecog.

The Egodeath theory is not very dependent on knowing the stories narratives of Greek Myth, in order to decode a greek art image. I come to the image-under-decoding from the source: from the vantage point of what it’s really, ultimately all about: loosecog.

{banquet, wine, evil king} – The transformation of the mental worldmodel of control, possibility, and time happens when the {evil king drinks wine at a banquet}; when the initiate who initially thinks in terms of Naive-Possibilism-thinking ingests entheogens.

From my 2006 article:
The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death
Section:
Initiation as a Natural Developmental Sequence
http://www.egodeath.com/EntheogenTheoryOfReligion.htm#_Toc177337615 —

Greek and non-modern cultures integrated a series of altered-state initiations.

Initiation classically combines a series of visionary-plant sessions with learning perennial philosophy, followed by subsequent religiously integrated dissociation such as agape meals, festival banquets, and symposium parties.

Entheogenic religious initiation was a prerequisite for symposium banqueting, so that participants were experienced.

The banqueting tradition including symposium “drinking parties” included prayer and sacrifices.

Social recreation and religious experiencing were not opposed activities.

/ end of article excerpt

Multiple Rounds of Short-Duration Sacrament

Evidently, instead of a single large dose of mushrooms at the start of a session, the ancient Greek & Christian mushroom use in their agape meal/ {banquet} technique used an optimized technique of multiple rounds of mixed-wine mushroom wine throughout the altered-state session, thus stretching out the session while reducing the peaks.

The problem with a single large dose at start of session is, too brief duration, and too overwhelming a peak.

With a single large dose of mushrooms at the start of a session, the peak window is too high and too brief, compared to the hypothetical ancients’ optimized banqueting technique of multiple rounds of mixed-wine mushroom wine throughout the altered-state session.

Regarding dosage and frequency with a 12-hour sacrament, heavy/frequent could be as much as 300 mic every 3.5 days. It would be a waste, futile, and counterproductive, more frequently than that, or higher dosage.

Mytheme group:
Entheogen, Altered State, {Holy Spirit}, {fire}

{billowing}

{billowing cloth, breath} = the hidden, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts, now made visible in the loose cognitive state.

How is the altered state (loose cognitive binding) like a billowing cloth?

A normally invisible power that propels a ship; a driving power that’s invisible, except when there’s a cloth, that makes the wind visible, like a horizontally blown flag, rippling.

The billowing cloth makes the wind’s invisible power visible.

ASC loosecog session that partly {burns away} the {perishable} aspect of thinking; that is, Possibilism-thinking.

{fire, flames, purification} – Repeated exposure to the {fire and flames} of the altered state transforms the mind away from the initial Possibilism model in the ordinary state of consciousness.

Awareness, Perceiving, {seeing}

{avert eye}

{avert eye, grovel, scrape, bow down}

When the youth rides up to the Boundary, the youth dies, transformed-away, as the mind converts converted from possibilism-thinking to eternalism-thinking.

The youth flies too high with wings, or is carried too high by the flying ram. The eagle lifts up Ganymede, which kills and sacrifices him. The youth at the Saturn level next to Heimarmene (fatedness and eternalism-consciousness), is sacrificed, at that boundary-height.

The Titans are lifted up to god-mode thinking, and the Titans are thereby converted-away to nothing, illusions, as the mind transforms from possibilism-thinking to eternalism-thinking.

The mind tries to move away from seeing, when the flying-too-high eye of awareness seeing too much the personal egoic control system — If I take the high god-level awareness point of view, perspective, I will undergo cybernetic self-control death; self-control death seizure.

To initially try to avoid loss of control, the self-control system must lower awareness, look downward, crawl on the floor hiding the eye from too-high elevated perspective, to try to avoid seeing, too much seeing how the personal egoic control system works, or else the mind will undergo:
loss of control
cybernetic self-control death
cybernetic self-control seizure
loss-of-control seizure
the threat of self-control loss

The mind initially struggles to resist seeing the attractive, seductive loss-of-control idea, the dragon, the attractive snake-haired face of Gorgon-Medusa, that turns the king and rulers to powerless rock statues.

To see the true, underlying controller, the real king, is to die, to seize, to be made to attack oneself.

Crawl for your life, looking downward to lower your gaze — try as hard as you can, to lower your gaze, reduce your too-bright awareness, reduce-downward your awareness, to avoid seeing the loss of control idea.

{phallus of god}

The veiled control-thought injector.

The veiled control-thought injector together with the worldline of control-thoughts form the normally hidden, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts.

The mind’s female, personal control system is shown the male, initially hidden, control-thought-injector inside the personal control system.

The female, local locus of control experiences as control-thoughts being forced upon the mind.

The mind has to be overcome and learn to submit and trust and conform to the reality of puppethood, against the initial pseudo-autonomous, quasi-independent locus of control power.

The mind starts out alienated from the control-thought inserter; ignorant of the will of god inside.

The personal egoic control system is a delicate temporary image-illusion bubble, easily pricked by the spear of the worldline snake which carries with it the control-thought inserter.

The mind’s male, control-thought inserter, while only the ordinary state of consciousness is present, remains unknown, veiled inside the personal control system.

When torch light shines on the inner inside receptacle workings of the personal control system, the personal control system is then naked and exposed, the innards exposed, revealing the phallic control-thought-inserter inserting control-thoughts into the local helpless thought-receiver, inside the personal control system.

The local control system portion of the complete control-system, two-parts, the female local thought-receiver, and the higher, now-revealed, underlying source of control-thoughts .

_______

We see God’s will within us: we see the worldline of control-thoughts {snake}, and see the {phallus} of the higher partner, the control-thought inserter, most intimately, inside the mind’s the personal control system, no longer the personal egoic control system.

We see the control-thought inserter — the {wellspring} hiding the self-threatening attractive dragon monster and hiding the {phallus} as the now-perceived source of control thoughts.

The {phallus} was paraded in Greco-Roman parade — god’s supplied uncontrollable source of control-thoughts, separate-from-local egoic control, revealed (to the personal control system, forcing transformation from possibilism to eternalism) to be the true actual source of control-thoughts.

When this situation about the source of control is revealed to the personal control system, the revealing of the initially hidden control-thought-injector forces transformation from possibilism to eternalism.

The mind is made to sacrifice and abandon the trouble-causing “possibility-branching” mental worldmodel (literalist ordinary-state possibilism), and is simultaneously given the improved, durable replacement mental worldmodel: pre-existence of control-thoughts; analogical psychedelic eternalism.

In the Mithraism Tauroctony diagrammatic scene, the bull is sacrificed by blade-wound-insertion, due to the mind-of-Mithras turning to the right to look back and up behind, to Sol, the control-thought inserter.

As the bull is disproved, disrupted, sabotaged, and seen through, the ear of grain — the fruit, the new life — is produced.

{maiden vs. (underworld-queen + overworld-queen)} = naive-possibilism vs. (qualified-possibilism + eternalism)

The one mortal and the two goddesses are Kore (Maiden), Persephone (queen of the underworld, & Demeter (queen of the aboveworld).

The “Two Goddesses” concept is accompanied by Kore the initial maiden; it has three parts:

1. First, Kore, the childhood-thinking maiden = naive possibilism-thinking.

After the abduction and complete overpowering of the Maiden by Hades, there are then two goddesses:

2A. Persephone, queen of the underworld = qualified possibilism-thinking.

2B. Adulthood-thinking Demeter, queen of the aboveground = eternalism-thinking.

The Mind’s Mystic Family of Father, Mother, and Child

A scene carved on the altar has a mystic family — three aspects of an initiate’s mind.

Here’s one way to assign or map mental worldmodel transformation aspects to the three figures:

Child = naive possibilism-thinking; egoic control thinking.

Mother = qualified possibilism-thinking, associated with helpless thought-receiver and local locus of control, no longer taken as a reality.

Father = eternalism-thinking, associated with perceiving the veiled thought-injector in the mind’s personal control system.

Mytheme group:
Maturing, {family} Relationships

{male-and-female}

Mithras, Dionysus, and Jesus have female attributes, indicating awareness of the will of God inside the personal control system.

Beneath the veiled opening in the mind’s helpless thought-receiver, the transcendent controller penetrates, injects, or inserts control-thoughts, all along the snake-shaped worldline.

This veiled situation becomes openly perceptible in the altered state, initially causing (during losing cybernetic virginity) the transformation of the mental worldmodel from possibilism to eternalism.

Mytheme group:
Maturing, {family} Relationships

{sacrifice child}

Transformation from possibilism-thinking to eternalism-thinking.

The {child} is the mind’s initial, childhood-suited mental worldmodel of time, self, possibility, and control, which is the possibilism model.

When the personal egoic control system is exposed to the altered state (loose cognitive binding), the mind transforms from possibilism-thinking to eternalism-thinking, eliminating naive possibilism-thinking.

A mind which is still in childhood thinking (a {youth} or {maiden}).

In Antiquity, it was normal, standard, and expected to transform the mental worldmodel from possibilism to eternalism.

Mortal/Immortal Relations, {sacrifice}

{goddess’ tall spear}

The division, dividing line, or boundary, between mortal and immortal.

To cross this line, the mind must transform from possibilism to eternalism, from perishable to imperishable, from mortal to immortal, from youth or maiden, to the adult, god-level, eternalism-conformant form of thinking.

The virgin mind, of youth or maiden, is mortal, perishable, transient, passing, volatile upon shining light and lifting the lid to see the hidden worldline-snake mechanism, the phallus of the god penetrating and injecting control-thoughts inside the mind’s the personal control system.

{lion-headed snake monster created by solo maiden}

{lion-faced serpent} = the threatening monster aspect of when the egoic control system sees the pre-existing worldline with threatening, pre-existing control-thoughts.

The overconfident beginner discovers an initial feeling of “nondual unity oneness experiential awareness”.

The beginner overestimates their experience level because of the premature, unearned glimpse of nondual unity oneness awareness.

The beginner-to-intermediate initiate subsequently discovers a glimpse of the threat of vulnerability to an attractive seductive vortex idea, of loss-of-control.

At this stage, the mind runs fleeing in terror at “the shadow”; the threatening {dragon} only starting starting to come into clear view.

The intermediate initiated mind tries to avert its gaze, and get down low to the ground, to try to survive and stop seeing the threat.

{Sophia} is the local locus of control in the personal control system, initially trying to rely on possibilism-thinking.

The mind’s local, conscious locus of control in the personal control system acts on its own without its partner’s help; without taking into account the veiled control-thought inserter.

The personal control system’s {partner} is the not-yet-perceived control-thought inserter that is normally covered-up, veiled, inside the personal control system.

Without yet having eternalism-thinking, the mind ends up only giving birth to this demonic monster: a glimpse of the serpentine worldline {dragon} monster threatening and beckoning loss of control.

David Ulansey writes:

“The key that the Mithras Lion-Headed figure holds is one of the most appropriate of all symbols of boundaries and boundary-crossing.

“The goddess Hekate, mistress of boundaries and crossroads [& borders & barriers], was associated with the symbol of the key.

“In his work On the Genius of Socrates 591 A-C, Plutarch describes how the three Fates guard the thresholds between cosmic realms, each of them holding a key.”

{mystic family of three}

Sometimes an altar has a {serpent} relief carved in it: a {snake} embedded in {rock}, with a mystic {family} of three figures looking at the {snake}-carved {rock} altar.

The mystic {family} of three is a {father}, a {mother}, and a {child} — the 3-in-1 initiate.

The primary, mystic meaning of the family at the altar is not a literal mundane depiction of a family outing.

The real referent of the “family” depicted, is aspects of the initiate: distinct formations of the personal control system, starting with the initial, personal egoic control system, then the initiated personal control system, that results from transformation of the mental worldmodel from possibilism to eternalism.

{altar}

Article:
The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death
Subection:
The Potential for Control Breakdown and Transformation
http://www.egodeath.com/EntheogenTheoryOfReligion.htm#_Toc177337634 —

“The mind is accustomed to assuming that the cross-time phantom-self can wield power over each time-slice self in the near future.

When this assumption is explicitly recognized and tested, the onset of self-control seizure occurs.

Ever-tighter, more forceful application of rationality that’s premised on the assumption of wielding control-power across time cannot save the control-system from this seizure.

Testing our control-power and discovering our dependent puppet-like status entails deliberate disproof and self-cancellation of cross-time control, which can threaten to lead to panic attack, seizure, and self-destructive control-chaos.

Relying on one’s conventional power of control-logic and will, when fully developed and perfected, leads to system lock-up – the self-cancellation of personal control power.

Demonic reason taken to its full development creates an impossible mess and gets itself tangled up, paralyzed in its own net of reasoning about control, power, and will.

…

Julius Caesar was authorized for power by his seizures, and the bull in his military’s Mithraic mystery-cult was wounded in the side, so the figure of Jesus was shown as similarly authorized by the spear-wound in his side, and the figure of the apostle Paul was portrayed as suffering from seizures.

The ability to make self-control seize or cancel itself dramatically is an afflicting thorn (2 Cor. 12:7-10), hole, or wound in our side, the innate cybernetic governance-failure through which the new, transformed life is born.

The new transcendence-aware self is given birth through the pride-killing disproof-wound in the side.”

Cybernetic control seizure; the cancellation/ nullification/ self-cancellation/ instability of personal control; the inability to resist and control incoming thoughts from the uncontrollable source of thoughts, in the altered state, when attempting to rely on Possibilism-thinking (autonomous control power).

Personal self-control power is pitted against itself, turned against itself, in the peak climax.

{demonic}

The mind possessed or seemingly occupied by the freewill-premised egoic personal control system, purportedly steering within a tree of branching possibilities into an open future which depends on personal control power to resolve which future is realized.

Relying on this illusion-based naive possibilism-thinking causes turmoil and seizure and panic, upon shining the light of the altered state on the actual situation of how the personal control system works, helplessly receiving control-thoughts from a normally hidden, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts.

The mental worldmodel of naive possibilism-thinking is suited for children and animals; it is not proper, mature, rational, adult thinking about personal control and God as the ultimate creator and controller of control-thoughts.

o Osiris is trapped in the coffin by his brother.
o Jesus is nailed to cross (a tree).

Article:
The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death
Subsection:
The Physical Fastening of All Thoughts and Actions
http://www.egodeath.com/EntheogenTheoryOfReligion.htm#_Toc177337625 — The complete section is copied below.

In the dissociative state, all actions anyone has done in the world, good and evil, are experienced as physically attached to one’s own arms, body, and train of thoughts that is frozen into spacetime.

  • Prometheus is chained looking out from the rock.
  • Theseus and king Pirithous are fused into the banqueting bench in the kingdom ruled by Hades and Persephone.
  • King Pentheus is caught up in the tree looking out.
  • Osiris is trapped in the coffin by his brother.
  • King Jesus is nailed to the tree/cross.

Conceptually, these mythic figures are all physically connected to the cross Jesus is nailed to, together with his elect: dissociative-state initiates.

King Hades imprisoned Persephone’s would-be suitors (and abductors) by fusing them to a magical bench and binding them to it with snakes while bringing them ‘mixed wine’.

It was possible for Heracles to free the divine hero Theseus, but Heracles had to leave king Pirithous behind, fused into the banqueting bench in Hades for eternity, because the whole world shook when Heracles pulled him.

This myth describes the dissociative-state sensation of physical embeddedness in the timeless block-universe, followed by abandoning the former pseudo-sovereign model of one’s personal control agency.

{fate}

Heimarmene or universal fatedness was centrally important in ancient astrological cosmology. (Barton, T. Ancient Astrology. London: Routledge, 1994.)

Heimarmene or universal fatedness was a major theme in Hellenistic-Roman {astral-ascent-mysticism} and religion. (Cumont, F. Astrology and Religion among the Greeks and Romans. New York: Dover, 1960 (1912).)

{female}

The mind’s vulnerable thought-receiver, normally {veiled}.

The source of the mind’s control-thoughts is not perceptible to awareness and observation while in the ordinary state of consciousness.

The personal egoic control system is unable to resist the mind’s uncontrollable source of control-thoughts.

Normally, this situation is not perceptible, and the mind’s control system is generally stable, not seizing and panicking and trying to block-out control-thoughts that are incoming from the hidden source.

During the altered state, that situation of helpless dependency on the thought-source becomes visible and initially causes intense self-distrust and alienation from the thought-source, a {male} that {forcefully penetrates} the vulnerable helpless powerless {female} thought-receiver.

The {spear} or {blade} of the higher controller, now uncovered and made visible to awareness, injects thoughts visibly now, thus destroying the illusion of personal autonomous control-power.

Perceiving this vulnerable unstoppable situation initially causes panic and cybernetic seizure, {death} and instability of the personal egoic control system.

During the altered state, the mind now sees that control-thoughts are entering the mind from the now-unveiled, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts, perceptible only in the altered state.

The female {maiden} is the altered-state initiate; {Persephone}, become now {Queen of the Underworld}.

The female {maiden} is consciously overpowered, and the initial illusion-based self-concept of personal agency or rulership is {abducted} to the {underworld} of shadows.

After the {abduction of the youth or maiden into the underworld}, the original, childhood-suited thinking about personal control agency, possibilities, and time, remains now only as qualified-possibilism-thinking, instead of the original, naive possibilism-thinking.

The childhood illusion of the egoic control system, purportedly steering into the future within a tree of branching possibilities, is punctured and {pierced} upon entering the altered state and now seeing the normally veiled, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts.

{gate}

The mind cannot get to eternalism-land while retaining control-stability, without sacrificing possibilism-thinking.

Any remaining pollution or impurity (possibilism-thinking) prevents the personal control system from being stably in eternalism-thinking; thus which mode of thinking the mind’s personal control system is relying on, serves as a gating function.

Saturn scythes the child; as the god pulls up the mind to the Heimarmene level (eternalism-thinking), the childhood-thinking is removed and blocked and pushed down to the lower level, of illusory projected images.

Persephone represents the same gating, winnowing, threshing function; the filter, to let (or make) the initiate pass through the gate into adulthood by transforming-away the mind’s “personal egoic control agent” way of thinking about self and the world.

{gate, pass through, password} – to pass through the {gate}.

Mytheme group:
Gate

{gatekeeper}

{doorway guard} — demons, for lower Aeons; angels, for higher Aeons. To pass, requires a “seal”, a diagram; the name of the demon (the identification of what the problem is).

The guarding-demon’s name could be, for example, “the pre-existing worldline of personal control-thoughts, which robs the mind of all its formerly apparent, egoic control-power”.

The guarding dragon or angel of death with flaming sword is the gatekeeper to pass into the state of conforming with the altered state, in order to get or retrieve the prize, of gnosis.

To pass the gatekeeper, requires payment of ego death.

Possibilism-thinking must be purified-away, in order to be allowed by the gatekeeper to pass through the gate, into the altered state, without being barred and kicked out, fleeing in terror and shielding the eye of awareness from the threat to the egoic personal control system, seen in the gate.

{helmsman}

From my 1997 theory-spec:

When the mind models the ego-entity and its control coherently and vividly, the ego dies as a helmsman, the sense of being a self-governing entity profoundly changes.

The mind has a latent potential to discover the self-control vortex, the strange-attractor vortex of self-control violation.

There is a sudden homeostatic state shift out of the egoic mental mode.

This vortex is the control singularity, at which point self-control perfectly cancels itself out.

One discovers the possibility of the self in the near future deliberately violating one’s long-term intentions and wreaking the worst havoc against oneself.

{helmsman, steersman, pilot}, {king} as director of which possibility branch to make manifest, the one spared by Dionysius as {lion}; the {helmsman} (as opposed to the evil {captain}) who consciously puts trust in Dionysus in dangerous threatening {lion} form.

Fleeing in Terror from the Furies

In the early initiation stage, there is nondual unity oneness awareness, unearned, unstable.

Soon the mind catches sight of the attractor vortex.

The guarding {furies} awaken.

Desperately try to cover-up, flee in terror, from seeing the certainly threatening control-loss dragon serpent monster; Dionysus’ God-mode transcendent thinking takes over the egoic personal control system and straightaway crashes it into a tree; loss of control.

The harder the personal control system tries to retain control, and watches the control-system vigilantly with perfect acuity and Reason, the more the personal control system is tricked into checking, testing, and challenging the mind’s control power, pitting personal self-control power against itself.

At cybernetic self-testing climax, the personal control system is made to prove and demonstrate willing the destruction and harm of oneself.

Purification and correction and coherence of the mental worldmodel occurs then; transformation, redemption, satisfaction, sacrifice, becoming right with God-mode thinking.

The egoic control agent, initially premised on the false illusion of being an autonomous source of control-thoughts, steering into the future, within possibilities branching.

{king (evil; not honoring the gods) drinks wine at a banquet} – The transformation of the mental worldmodel of control, possibility, and time happens when the {evil accursed king drinks wine at a banquet}; when the initiate who initially thinks in terms of Naive-Possibilism-thinking ingests entheogens.

{king steering in a tree, drinks wine, becomes snake in rock}

{king steering in a tree, snake embedded in a rock} – The mental model of time and control transforms from a branching-possibilities model, like a {king steering in a tree}, to a non-branching model, like a {snake embedded in a rock}. 

{king, overthrow}, {king’s laws that cannot change, dragon hiding in wellspring} – In the altered state, which produces the Eternalism experience, near-future thoughts ({prophecy, of overthrowing the king, king gives orders/laws/vows ahead of time that cannot be changed}) are seen as pre-existing, giving an experience of non-control and dependence ({wellspring hiding dragon; female invaded}) on a hidden {snake hidden in box, chest, rock cave, or basket} thought-source.

Kore = virgin maiden.

Persephone = thresh (strike) & winnow (shake), to separate the inner grain from the outer chaff.

Kore is the outer chaff (possibilism-illusion).

Demeter is the inner grain (eternalism reality).

Persephone is the thresher and winnower, separator-off of Kore (the chaff) to produce Demeter (the grain).

Demeter = mother

  • attracted
  • seduced
  • wrestled
  • overpowered
  • climaxed

  • give birth
  • die in childbirth
  • child is god-aware

When the virgin maiden Kore tries to travel to Eternalismland, she dies, she is impregnated instead, and dies, and gives birth to a different self-identity, now a two-part identity.

After the revealing of the uncontrollable source of control-thoughts, the mind’s personal control system now Knows its higher partner; it now has Known intercourse with the male overpowering thought-injector.

The personal control system is cancelled by the altered state.

The ego death and transformation climax is like a woman.

How is the ego death and transformation climax like a virgin maiden?

The mind’s personal control system is like a woman overpowered attracted seduced climax wrestled; she’s completely overpowered she acts female.

The personal egoic control system acts female.

The normally veiled, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts is revealed.

The local locus of control in the personal control system is not actually the source of control-thoughts, but is vulnerable, exposed, and helplessly subject to the partner; the distinct source of control-thoughts: the control-thought inserter.

The personal control system is subject to the worldline of control-thoughts, along which is laid out the control-thought inserter, which is present inside the personal control system at each point in time.

No {clothing}; no {skin/flesh}: there’s now no projected-image {mask} layer overlaying and covering up the underlying source of control-thoughts.

{revealed snake} means both the short snake and the long snake:

  • {phallus} = the control-thought inserter operating inside the mind at any particular time.
  • The frozen {serpent} worldline of control-thoughts.

There is no clothing, no cover on the snake-basket or chest; there is no personal egoic control system, and no Possibilism mental worldmodel of time, self, possibility, and control, covering-over the underlying reality about the source of control-thoughts, that is now exposed and visible.

{payment}

Until the mind is made to sacrifice (pay) the childhood-suited Possibilism-thinking, the mind is threatened with cybernetic death, disaster, being made to will self-harm.

In the escalation of the cybernetic control-seizure, the mind is ultimately made to direct personal self-control power against itself, pitting the mind’s will against itself, like a snake fatally biting itself.

The mind is made to will self-harm, producing cybernetic death, when will wills against itself.

Abraham was made to will sacrificing his childhood naive possibilism-thinking by self-violation, when the message from higher thinking came, that higher thinking is thereby {satisfied} that the mind has transcended its control system and disproved naive possibilism-thinking, reaching a state of integrity and wisdom about how the mind’s personal self-control system actually works and what its limitations are.

This demonstration of will being brought to counter and cancel itself, satisfies the mind’s demand for integrity and self-understanding, and has {paid the price} for {release} back into normal stable functioning but with illusion and confusion removed, about the source of control.

{pneumatic race}

There are three mystic or gnostic races:

  • The psychic race (psychics). The mind, psyche, or soul (per freewill-premised moral-agency).
  • The somatic race (hylics, somatics). The body.

Pneumatics are predestined for election; their worldline contains psychedelic initiation and transformation of the mental worldmodel from possibilism to eternalism.

In contrast, members of the {psychic race} (psychics) think in terms of egoic freewill-premised morality, and are thus {soul}-based.

Not those ruled by the somatic (body) or psychic (mind), but spirit (wind, breath, the Holy Spirit).

The “race” of those predestined (the elect, the chosen) to:

1. Have their worldline include and bring them the entheogen, a series of initiation sessions in the altered state, such as the sacrament of apolytrosis (Psilocybe mushrooms, or equivalent).

2. Thereby experience personal self-control seizure.

3. Undergo purification from the pollution of naive-Possibilism-thinking; learn Eternalism-thinking, thus undergoing regeneration, to gain Transcendent Knowledge, gnosis, per analogical psychedelic pre-existence.

Soul = bad = lower thinking = the soul = possibilism = the freewill-premised, possibility-branching-premised, egoic control system.

That hand of the higher controller — the secret partner of the personal control system — is not visible in the ordinary state of consciousness, but the hand, or the chain it holds, is visible, more or less directly, in the altered state.

{perishable}

The portion of the mind, naive possibilism-thinking, which fails and vanishes and is cancelled out when subjected to the testing, fire, and flames of the altered state, leaving reality in place, and the mental model of the reality of how the mind works: the Eternalism mental worldmodel of time, possibility, and control, which is imperishable.

Although naive possibilism-thinking is repudiated and disproved, qualified-possibilism-thinking remains, a useful shadow, Persephone abducted to the underworld to produce fertility.

The fertility of Persephone in the underworld means the usefulness of qualified-possibilism-thinking.

The mind disproves and naturally repudiates naive possibilism-thinking, but what’s left is intact and useful, qualified-possibilism-thinking – fertile, useful, productive.

A viable mundane egoic personal control system remains as a mental structure, but without the delusion and over-reliance on illusion-based freewill-power in the altered state.

The egoic personal control system gets trapped and seized, until the mind develops eternalism-thinking and is able to abandon habitual reliance on presumed freewill-power operating within branching possibilities.

Mytheme group:
Escape, Release, Rescue

{rescue}

Rescue of the personal self-control system that’s inevitably & certainly headed for & compelled & escalating toward catastrophic loss of control, from outside the personal control system.

The god resets and transforms and resets a personal control system that is in a state of {wrecked, broken, failed, destroyed, doomed-for-harm, accursed, control-seized, sunk-ship, defeated, capsized}.

The more that the personal control system thinks, tests, perceives, & comprehends the situation and tries to avoid the increasingly visible doom, the personal control system is increasingly and rapidly headed for doom. Looking at the situation brings the situation closer, becoming a crisis situation.

Seeing and thinking about and testing the crisis-situation vulnerability, brings the interesting and fascinating cybernetic self-control crisis rushing even more clearly into view.

The {prophet rides a whirlwind up to heaven}.

The personal control system is drawn into the vortex to the point of forcing or causing a new mental model, a required sacrifice and repudiation of the old, childhood-mode thinking, and a system reset of the personal control system into a new mode: eternalism-thinking, accompanied by a now qualified (rather than naive) possibilism-thinking.

God transforms and resets the mind’s personal control system, {deus ex machina, rescuing from certain shipwreck, salvation and rescue from outside the system, as his slave owing him his life, transformed and un-harmed}.

Like all mythemes, in some particular way, this represents transformation from Possibilism to Eternalism.

The mind of the gnostic, in the Holy of Holies (the bridal chamber), after prayer and ingesting the mixed-wine Eucharist, rises up through the planetary spheres through doorways with guards (demons for the lower Aeons, or angels for the higher Aeons), using “seals” with diagrams to badge-through the doorways (gateways), to return to the One; to the All.

The mind experiences the pre-existence of the mind’s near-future (and entire lifetime’s) worldline of pre-existing control-thoughts.

The mind knows God (the uncontrollable source of control-thoughts, normally {veiled}), because God’s will is now revealed and perceived inside the mind, as a distinct, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts.

{release}

{release from hell/captivity/ being threatened to death} – self-control seizure escalates; the harder the mind attempts to secure personal self-control power, the more it becomes unstable and leads to the altar of sacrifice/ ego death/ seizure/ transformation / regeneration / release/ apolytrosis/ doing away with the illusion, freewill-premised control power; naive-Possibilism-thinking; a reset from outside the system. Walking away unharmed, from definitely certain doom and from definite cybernetic failure. {prophets walking out unharmed} from the {flames of the purifying furnace} of the altered state.

{unharmed}

Get released from outside the self-control cybernetic system, by receiving grace at the initiative coming from on high, from outside the personal control system; deus ex machina resolves the climax of the peak-intensity high drama play.

{reveal}

Loose mental construct association binding makes the minds’s self-control system perceptible to awareness, making visible how the mind works; the mind-revealing dissociative state.

Awareness in the altered state is dis-embedded from the usual cognitive structures, making the self-control system and its vulnerability visible to the mind through increased awareness combined with loosened cognitive structures and constraints. The mind has accessed God-mode thinking, for better and for worse; worse, because egoic freewill-premised control-thinking is revealed as vulnerable and impotent regarding its source of control-thoughts.

{rock}

The block universe.

Description from my 1997 theory-spec:

The time axis combines with the 3 dimensions of space to form a 4-dimensional block universe, or crystalline ground of being.

Even if the time axis is warped, relative, or branching, and there are more than 3 dimensions of space, one can coherently and usefully frame the experienced world as an ultimately unchanging, 4-dimensional spacetime block.

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.

If one consistently adopts the mental model of the block universe, the usual sense of exerting the power of choice disappears, and the logic of personal self-determination cancels itself out.

{snake biting itself, coil of a serpent, ouroboros}

(1997 wording): The {coil of a snake} represents the cybernetic self-control loop inside the mind.

Sin is our sense of self-origination of our thoughts and actions, and our experience of ourselves as autonomous agents who are potential moral subjects. The egoic mind is arranged with the ego-entity at the center of personal experiencing and action, and assumes that the ego is the primary origin of its actions. This ego-entity at the center includes the deceiving, projected representation of the ego-entity.

The transcendent mind is not so firmly self-centered, but acknowledges the priority of the underlying block universe, which controls or gives rise to the ego’s stream of control actions.

Moral freedom is legitimate as an experience but not as a logical, metaphysical proposition or reality. During childhood, until the series of initiations, enlightenment about naive-Possibilism-thinking was delayed and withheld, buying some time for the {youth or maiden} to live as seemingly autonomous agents.

2020: The snake is fatally biting itself, injecting toxin (entheogen) into its vulnerable spot (the normally veiled source of control-thoughts); killing itself by biting injecting poison into itself.

The worldline of control-thoughts of the initiate includes cybernetic death, in which the worldline sort of kills itself; the worldline brings and includes, embedded in it, the death of the virtual egoic control agent. The worldline snake, the worldline of control-thoughts, includes a death among those control-thoughts – the snake includes the battle of ego vs. the snake.

The circle of the snake’s coil isn’t so important; the key idea is, the mind’s worldline includes the realization that perceiving the worldline, kills the presumption of egoic control agency.

{touch}

To be able to steadily think about, consider, picture, mentally engage the idea, without losing control.

{touch Demeter’s snake with your right hand, without dying}

In the ordinary state of consciousness, the {snake} (the pre-existing worldline of personal control-thoughts) is completely obscured, hidden in the chest (the kiste), or completely occluded in the cista mystica (snake-basket with lid).

In the altered state, the snake comes partly out from the basket or chest, becoming visible to the elevated mind’s eye of awareness dis-embeddd from tight cognitive binding and from the egoic control system.

The mind now observes how the personal egoic control system works — and how to break the personal control system at its vulnerable opening, the cybernetic system’s {spear-wound of thought-injection, death, & rebirth}, at the veiled source of control-thoughts in the {bridal chamber}, the {Holy of Holies where only the head priest is permitted to enter}.

“Don’t think about vulnerability to dreadful loss of control! Don’t poke-around there!” “Where?” “There!– Oh no, you looked!”

Seizure and panic.

“To defend against this situation I now see, better think more clearly and look more carefully —

“Oh no! Now you made the problem even much worse, in your effort to defend against that very weakness, that opening, that gap in your mental defense system; that vulnerability in the side, that’s been spotted.

“Don’t look at it! Shield your eye of dis-embedded awareness, that now is positioned to see the dreadful situation much too clearly — and flee in terror: that way lies madness, self-control violation, certain doom rushing in, remembering dread, and remembering the harmful destruction that will have happened here in this timeless place of doom here in this no-exit labyrinth for the youths and maidens — this place of predestined sacrifice of the ruler’s childhood self.”

To be able to touch without dying = to be able to think about without panic and seizure; cybernetic control instability.

Seeing, perceiving the uncontrollable source of control-thoughts, along with the worldline, which in its control-threatening aspect, is the dragon as a threatening monster.

The undesirable (to egoic thinking; to the egoic control system) dragon is guarding the desirable {treasure} which the mind desires to see and grasp, of gnosis.

Compare the polar-pair {wrath vs. mercy}, to the polar-pair {dragon vs. treasure}. See mytheme types: polar pairs; duo-pairs.

To possess gnosis, the treasure, is to touch it, to gaze upon the snake on a pole, to look directly at; to {touch} the gnosis which the snake is; which the snake guards.

{Touching} the {snake}, the {rock}, and the {sacrifice of the child}-worldmodel (without cybernetic seizure, instability, and panic), amounts to permanently possessing the treasure of gnosis, rather than being reborn again back into forgetfulness (naive possibility-branching thinking).

The snake (worldline) is gnosis.

Gnosis is Transcendent Knowledge of eternalism and of the illusion-based foundation of naive possibilism-thinking.

Knowledge of the worldline ({serpent}) is knowledge of eternalism.

Eternalism is the {rock} which contains, embedded, the {serpent}.

Knowledge (gnosis) of the serpent is also knowledge of the {rock}, and of the {sacrifice of childhood}-thinking on the {rock altar}.

The snake’s threatening aspect (cybernetic seizure & self-battling) guards gnosis.

To grab and touch and remember and possess the treasure — gnosis — is also to grab and touch and remember and possess the serpent, the threatening dragon.

In the Canterbury mushroom tree/ sword/ hanging image, the adept initiate is able to {touch} his {left hand} to the {sword} of God — the threatening control-instability — without falling onto the sword and dying, because the initiate is also touching the debranched mushroom tree with his {right hand} (eternalism-thinking).

{trap}

From my 1997 theory-spec:

It feels like a trap, when fully confronting that there is logically no way, no possible move, that would forcefully extend self-control to restrain one’s near-future actions.

Stable self-control inherently requires distorted thinking, which obscures one’s nature as a product of the completely predetermined block universe.

Self-control can be stabilized by looking away from the radical potentials of one’s near-future actions in the stream of control, by stopping the apprehension of them.

One inherently cannot trust one’s own near-future actions, which are beyond one’s present control.

Dissociative cognition combined with advanced rationality leads to the conscious experience of one’s permanent situation of being a {puppet} of fate, a complete {slave} of the block universe.

/ end of excerpt from my 1997 theory-spec

{trap, net} — the harder the personal control system inspects and probes itself, and inspects it vulnerability and defends against it, the system has to identify and probe what the vulnerability is, in order to defend better against it, and the system heads increasingly toward system crash, self-cancellation, instability.

Proof that the Canterbury Psalter’s Leg-Hanging Mushroom Tree Is Psilocybe
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/19/proof-that-the-canterbury-psalters-leg-hanging-mushroom-tree-is-psilocybe/#bttt —

The mystic reader (as the red initiate) {breaks his bow} (he backs off from self-control system violation), and receives the thought, the transcendent message, like the {angel} said of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his {child} Isaac, which would prevent God’s promise of health and fecundity from coming true:

The angelic thought is sent into the mind: “This mind has demonstrated right, coherent thinking about personal control. For an appropriate, blessed sacrifice that matches this correct, coherent thinking, here is a ram that got himself trapped helplessly in a thicket.”

The {sacrifice of the ram} is the Bible paradigm of sacrifice that sustains life unharmed; yielding corrected, blessed thinking about control and time.

Genesis 22:12-13 (KJV) —

“he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.”

{prophets walking out unharmed} from the {flames of the purifying furnace} of the altered state.

{release from hell/captivity/ being threatened to death}.

Walking away unharmed, from definitely certain doom and from definite cybernetic failure.

Self-control seizure escalates; the harder the mind attempts to secure personal self-control power, the more it becomes unstable and leads to the altar of sacrifice/ ego death/ seizure/ transformation / regeneration / release/ apolytrosis.

Doing away with the illusion, freewill-premised control power; naive-Possibilism-thinking; a reset from outside the system.

Mytheme group:
Transformation

{underworld}

The land of dead egos after ego-death. Where egos go to die and remain and cannot return from, after complete ego-death, when the mind has undergone full transformation from Possibilism to Eternalism.

Specifically, the mind undergoes transformation from naive possibilism-thinking, to eternalism-thinking along with qualified possibilism-thinking.

Mytheme group:
Transformation

{unshakeable}

The personal control system that’s been fully transformed from possibilism-thinking to eternalism-thinking is stable in the altered state.

Mytheme group:
Instability, Stability, {seizure}

{unmovable race}

The mature elect, who have learned cybernetic stability while looking at the pre-existing worldline of control-thoughts.

Looking at the pre-existing worldline of personal control-thoughts is almost the same as seeing the uncontrollable source of control-thoughts.

God’s will is revealed inside the mind, as a distinct control-center, separate from the personal egoic control system or local locus of virtual control power.

The virtual egoic control agent rules over its domain of virtual control; that domain is seemingly ruled by the virtual egoic control agent.

See {calming}.

Mytheme group:
Instability, Stability, {seizure}

{veil}

The personal egoic control system only lasts until the light of the altered state is shined on the inner workings of the personal control system that are normally hidden from awareness.

In the altered state, the hidden, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts becomes unveiled, revealed, the lid is lifted off the snake basket revealing the snake worldline snake with phallus-like injecting of control-thoughts at all points in time along the snake-shaped worldline.

This unveiling of the true source of control-thoughts destroys the illusion of the virtual egoic control system.

Mytheme group:
Maturing, {family} Relationships

{veiled}

In the ordinary state of consciousness, the situation in the mind is veiled. In the altered state, the situation in the mind is unveiled; revealed.

In the altered state, the lid is lifted from the snake-containing basket (cista mystica) or chest, revealing the block-universe worldline of pre-existing, pre-set personal control-thoughts.

Near-future personal control thoughts are cast in stone on the single, no-free-will/monopossibility path dead ahead — unchangeable, unavoidable, unstoppable, ready to be inescapably, inexorably injected into the mind, into the personal control system.

The local locus of the egoic personal control-system’s power, is utterly incapable of stopping or controlling the normally-hidden, uncontrollable source of control-thoughts.

{wine} = entheogen, {mixed wine} mushroom wine

{wine}, {wine, potion, snake, rock} – Religious mythology describes {wine, potion}

Visionary plants loosening the mind; {holy food}, giving the experience of one’s stream of thoughts across time as a {snake}-shaped worldline embedded in a frozen, {rock}-like block universe.

Mytheme group:
Entheogen, Altered State, {Holy Spirit}, {fire}

{winnow}

The mind probes, explores, and tests personal control power in the altered state, and the aspects which don’t stand up to observation and scrutiny and testing, are cancelled out and discarded.

Winnow — to shake and filter by air separation, grain from straw.

Thresh — to whack and beat ears of grain to separate grain from husk. A god “holding” ears of grain might be actually threshing them.

{wound}

The helpless {female} control-thought-receptor; the helpless thought-receiver.

The god (uncontrollable higher veiled uncontrollable source of control-thoughts) unstoppably injects control-thoughts into the mind, into the personal control system.

This situation is only revealed and brought to light during the altered state (loosecog).

Seeing this situation causes ego death.

Related core concept:
vulnerability

{veil}

{wound in side, vulnerable spot, female vulnerable to overpowering insertion, birth passage} – the mind must conform to and battle against personal control chaos and self-cancellation, self-battling, self-threatening to explore the vulnerability {wound & birth passage} that’s built-into the self-control system.

{abduction/sacrifice} of ego+world; of autonomous personal control agency, operating in a branching-possibilities world.

{lifted up/pushed down}

Separated-while-lifted, to lift up transcendent thinking, must push down egoic thinking, separating-them-out. The Saturn-Persephone function; thresh/winnow/scythe function. Active initiative verbiage reeks of ego-power: {lift up/push down}<– true from god-thinking point of view , passive tense is safer: we have been lifted up/ pushed down, by God’s initiative through his forcing his holy spirit upon the virgin maiden killing her sending her to the underworld.

Conceptual Revolutions (Thagard)

Contents:

Shining Light on the Hidden Mystery of Conceptual System Replacement

“A finer-grained theory of revolutionary change than Thomas Kuhn presented in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions need not succumb to irrationalism.

“We can describe the structure of scientific knowledge and the processes that advance it.

“We can characterize the structure of conceptual systems before, during, and after conceptual revolutions; and we can investigate the cognitive mechanisms by which conceptual changes occur.”

Egodeath: The Mother of All Conceptual Revolutions

This is an updated pass of integrating Conceptual Revolutions further into the Egodeath theory and into explaining its historical development.

The book needs an ultimate chapter on the mother of all conceptual revolutions, the transformation of the mental worldmodel from Possibilism to Eternalism:
o The possibility-branching, ordinary-state, freewill-premised, Possibilism model.
o The non-branching (single-possibility), frozen-rock, altered-state, no-free-will, Eternalism model.
