Huggins Bets Everything on the Branches in Day 3 of Creation, Loses Everything

[4:20 p.m. August 22, 2025] Mobile phone screenshots. First, turgid paragraph is summarized in chat post. I just caught (secured) the big fish been hunting.

Last night (i think I was recording) voice recording — analogy created:

It’s one thing to have a fish on your line in the water; but it’s quite another thing to have the fish actually secured in a bucket on your boat.

context last night of that analogy:

dates timeline research, hazy question, When did I “figure out” branching – printout 7-9 of my church short article, dates years: candidates:

  1. 2xxx – figured out x.
  2. 2xxx – figured out x.
  3. 2xxx – figured out x.

The PMT’s fanciful interpretations have provided us with an opportunity in this article to reflect in a positive way, using as our entry point one of the most exquisite 13th century examples, upon the range of artistic solutions to the problem of illustrating the hexameron in the 11th–13th centuries, and especially the third day of creation (Genesis 1:9–13).
The imagery of the third-day scene specifically features the creation of trees, making way for us to explore how stylized trees were commonly approached by the artists of the period.
Trees, being peripheral to the more central features of medieval iconography, are not often discussed by art historians.
A noted [sic.; opposite: censored, Wasson, SOMA, p. 180] exception is Albert Erich Brinckmann’s Baumstilisierungen in der mittelalterlichen Malerei (1906), a work recommended by Panofsky in his letters [with an 🚨‘s’?!!🚨 one letter entirely censored by Wasson, the other heavily censored; both letters strongly recommending Brinc., & both citations of Brinc. censored by Wasson] to Wasson back in 1952.

HUGGINS, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE WORD “NOTED” MEANS, GIVEN THAT THESE WERE CENSORED TO HELL BY WASSON THE ACADEMIC FRAUD, IN THE SAME PARAGRAPH P 180 SOMA IN WHICH HE INSULTS AND CHIDES MYCOLOSITTS (AFFIRMERS OF mushroom imagery in Christian art) FOR FAILING TO “CONSULT” – WHATEVER THAT’S SUPPOSED TO MEAN — THE ART AUTHORITIES? phone ’em up because per Huggins & Wasson, the authories never thought about trees or mushrooms, and are expert on “related topics”.

Duplicitous lying rhetoric written by the Devil himself. For Wasson, “consult” means censor. For Huggins, “branches” means mushrooms (one mushroom coming from left base of main mushroom stem; one right).

Liberty Cap Tree in Day 3 (Creation of Trees and Fruit) Connects with Tree of Knowledge Below It

Crop by Cybermonk

Features:

Day 3 tree 2 (Liberty Cap):

  • Has L/R branches/fruit on big scale.
  • Lacks L/R branches/fruit on small scale.

The corresponding Tree of Knowledge below it:

  • Has L/R branches/fruit on small scale.

7 p.m. August 22, 2025

~7:00 p.m. August 22, 2025 realized that these “hands” as I previously thought, are to be read as fruit, given my library of all Liberty Cap caps; some have L/R fruit, or else L/R branches:
https://egodeaththeory.org/2022/03/16/liberty-caps-and-panaeolus-caps-in-the-canterbury-psalter/#Liberty-Caps

The various Liberty Cap caps have, on each tree in cap grid:

  • L/R branches & fruit – tree of knowledge f11 Row 3 right.
  • L/R branches, no fruit
  • L/R fruit, no branches – red disks

The richest instance — tree of knowledge — sets the detail pattern

at 8:24 p.m. August 22, 2025 at the big scale, day 3 Liberty Cap sets the pattern so you clearly see L/R branch and fruit.

At small scale, tree of knowledge sets the pattern: each Liberty Cap tree within each grid-cap, is to be read as having the detail that the tree of knowledge has: L/R branch & L/R fruit.

At big scale, Day 3 (creation of trees & fruit)

You can’t reason, in orderly way, from Huggins confusion, — working from his garbled args — to reach truth.

Disproving Huggins’ Arguments by Starting from the Successful Decoding

It’s impracticable to try to start from Huggins’ mess, confusion & garble, and then proceed from there to the solution.

Rather, follow Hoffman’s independent analysis to find the solution, then after done decoding and established Eadwine’s solution, go back afterwards to the Hugs trainwreck and explain how he got it so f’d up and mangled in a knot of futility.

You (efficiently/ viably) must start with truth (elegant, coherent) – which only I am capable of decoding to give the intended Eadwine’s intended system – and when you locked onto that elegant system, then, you can explain where Huggins goes wrong at every turn.

Grok Fruit (L & R) in place of L & R branches, in Great Canterbury Psalter

The L & R Fruit Is the Message of Knowledge of Good and Bad, Stable and Unstable Control on Psilocybin

integrated possibilism/eternalism thinking

The fruit in f11 is the comprehension of the two models.

L vs R branch; L = branching and R = non-branching – that is the fruit; then show a fruit on L and a fruit on R. 5:59 p.m. August 22, 2025] chills, just a coincidence from suddnly noticing the AC: i am thinking [highly] of f11 tree of knowledge zoom on their eyes and hands and looking-lines and msiles of smiles of confirmation

Her L hand fruit held = branching . HER R HAND FRUIT HELD AT THE SNAKE; = WORLDLINE FROZEN IN ROCK BRINGS YOU THE SACRAMENT.

As already decoded, they look at the L and R fruit.

In the topmost mushroom, what do they look at?

the topmost = most special mushroom in the grid.

Huggins’ arg WOULD say that, of these inner trees with arms/fruit, or, each L / R branch “holds” or “has” a fruit. each L branch “holds” a fruit, each R branch “holds” a fruit. Each inner mushroom-tree has a L branch-and-fruit, and a R branch-and-fruit.

map L branch/fruit to branching
map R branch/fruit to non-branching

grasping the contrast between the branching vs non-branching model of control and possibility = holding a fruit in L hand and in your R hand.

isomorphic:
each inner tree holds a fruit in L branch & R
each inner tree holds a fruit in L branch & R

possibility

The Teaching Tree of Knowledge Detailed in Great Canterbury Psalter Under Day 3: Creation of Trees.

Gen 1
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201&version=NIV

Days of creation:
[Day 0: heavens earth]

  1. light, light vs. dark; day/night
  2. water vs. sky
  3. land vs. water. seed-fruittrees fruit herbs veg’n
  4. stars, days & years; celestial calendar, sun (light), moon (light), stars,
  5. water creatures, birds,
  6. land animals, man. food: man & animals [water sky land] may eat seed plants/ tree/fruit.

missed, day 3 6:33 p.m. August 22, 2025 – yes day 3 plant 1 & 2 are boring, but, they SERVE TO ESTABLISH LEFT VS RIGHT, L BRANCH VS R BR, AND L FRUIT VS R FRUIT. Looping around.

Plant 1 & 2: they carry the focus on L vs R (not “fruit” yet) wait YES they are FRUIT BECAUSE IT’S DAY 3: CREATION OF FRUIT TREES. 6:36 p.m. August 22, 2025 — thus the L stem-ball and the R stem-ball are = fruit, as held below two rows below in Row R tree of knowledge — Eve holds L fruit in L armhand, R in right. L & R branches = L & R fruits = L & R arms = comprehension of [branching vs. non-br] = hold fruit in both hands = the L fruit growing on the L branch & the R on R. 6:38 p.m. August 22, 2025

The L & R Fruit (Comprehension) of the Tree of the Knowledge of L Evil Branching and R Good Non-Branching

L, Evil, unstable control, branching , possibilism
R, Good, stable control, non-branching, eternalism

To hold both fruit in both hands =
comprehend stable non-branching model & unstable branching model.

“But even that is not very probable because even the most mushroom-like specimens show some traces of ramification; if the artists had labored under the delusion that the model before him was meant to be a mushroom rather than a schematized tree he would have omitted the branches altogether.”

No trace of ramification (branches), so fails to meet Panofsky’s definition of pilzbaum, so, DOESN’T COUNT:

Proof that Day 1 Creation of Light Scale Balance Bowls Contain Mushrooms

Crop and Annotations by Michael Hoffman

Funniest point:

Each of the plants in the third-day scene also has branches. The mushrooms the PMTs wish to identify them with, however, do not.

Ronald Huggins, “Foraging for Psychedelic Mushrooms in the Wrong Forest: The Great Canterbury Psalter as a Medieval Test Case”, p. 17

Has branches — that look like mushrooms.

Day 3, Plant 2: Right Branch
Crop by Michael Hoffman

The branches that look like mushrooms make this tree not look like mushrooms.

Artists classify this as a tree that looks like mushrooms.

Wasson: “For convenience in discussion” – WHAT A LAUGH, AS IF ART HISTORIANS EVER DICUSS… WHERE IS THIS ALLEGED “DISCUSSION”? THERE

Who are these artists who are discussing pilzbaum and where are they discussing pilzbaum?

Mushrooms don’t have anything that looks like a tangle of branches under the tree crown.

Quotes from Huggins’ “Foraging Wrong” article here are condensed by Michael Hoffman.

See that article for exact quotes, to see just how confused, blundering, misinterpreting, and implausible the “reasoning” from Letcher Hatsis Huggins – a gallery of obvious logical fallacies, but more strikingly, these scribblers are notable for their astronishingly bizarre instances of obvious logical fallacies.

Deniers of mushroom imagery in Christian art are of poor, low moral character, having to resort to censorship, argument from authority, false attributions, deception, name-calling, insults, threatening, strawmanning (even dictating the opponent’s position), moving the goalposts, and other commonplace logical fallacies, invention such as MAKING SHIT UP such as “parasols of victory”, to give the most flimsy possible token excuses to wave aside each isolated piece of evidence, while lacking any theory to make their kettle logic cohere.

The sour song of the Committed Skeptic:

  • If mushroom imagery is hidden, DOESN’T COUNT.
  • If mushroom imagery is explicit, DOESN’T COUNT.
  • If mushroom imagery has branches, DOESN’T COUNT.
  • If mushroom imagery lacks branches, DOESN’T COUNT.
  • If the evidence is in art, DOESN’T COUNT.
  • Here’s another claimed instance of mushroom imagery in Christian art, but [fill in random token ad-hoc made-up on-the-spot excuse], so, DOESN’T COUNT.
  • If [any case], DOESN’T COUNT.

ARTICLE SECTIONS OUTLINE

Abstract [section in “Foraging Wrong”]

“Some scholars and popular writers claim images of mushrooms hidden [NO, FALSE! LIAR! not necessarily “hidden” – I caught Letcher LYING about this meta-claim ] – in (mostly) medieval Christian art.

Psychedelic therapy and spirituality has focused on doing more credible work than 1960s.

The interpretations of these writers seeping unchallenged into mainstream scholarship.”

The ignorant, blundering errors and fallacious argumentation of the deniers of mushroom imagery in Christian art — committed skeptics — has,

Unfortunately, the misinterpretations of these misguided and tone-deaf writers who deny mushroom imagery in Christian art has been seeping unchallenged into mainstream scholarship.

Huggins continues:

“The present article singles out the scene of the third day of creation in the 12th century Great Canterbury Psalter as an occasion to analyse and counter these claims.

“This article surveys the iconography of the third creation day in European illuminated manuscripts.”

“On the 3rd day, God created trees (Genesis 1:11). entheogen scholars identify trees as mushrooms.

“This article describes medieval stylized trees.”

Entheogen scholars know 100% thoroughly well thanks to what little the censor Wasson let leak through as leads from Panofsky in 1968:

Art historians describe medieval trees as “look like mushrooms”, and there are “hundreds of instances” per Panofsky.

1. Introduction [section in “Foraging Wrong”]

  • “Try to be more credible than before, to have success in today’s 2024 Psychedliec Movement. We need more credible schoalrship.”

Entheogen scholars are wrong when they try to look for “mushrooms” in art; they ought to be looking for {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs.

Looking for flexibly re-combinable elements of mushroom imagery in Christian art; typically not on the scope of whole entire literal mushroom physical shape.

Huggins uses an arbitrary scope of “whole tree”; if “whole tree” doesn’t match “whole mushroom specimen”, he says this mushroom-trees “doesn’t look like mushrooms” — even though art historians say that these DO “look like mushrooms” when art historians use their own term that they coined, “mushroom-trees”; pilzbaum.

On June 7, 2023, I announced my proposal based on indirect evidence, that Day 1’s balance scale contains Cubensis.

On Jan. 13, 2025, I announced that that hypothesis was proved based on direct evidence.

On a narrow reading, the left pan contains Panaeolus; right Amanita; on a broad reading, the two pans contain Psilocybin from Liberty Cap, Cubensis, and Panaeolus, with Amanita serving as a symbol of Psilocybin.

June 19–23, 2023, the Denver Convention Center hosted Psychedelic

“Discussion of the relation of spirituality to psychedelics also occurred at the American Academy of Religion’s November 2022 annual meeting in Denver that featured papers on the subject in the units:

  • New Religious Movements
  • Contemplative Studies
  • Cognitive Science of Religion”

Cognitive Neuroscience of Religion is worthless junk: it takes the most boring form of shallow, exoteric, ordinary-state religion, and covers it in the most boring way possible. REJECT.

The field needs to try again, with a 10-strip of blotter this time, for Christ’s sake.

Spirituality Without Psychedelics Is Bunk

Per the maximal entheogen theory of religion, I firmly reject all noises of compromise like claiming that pigs can/ could/ might/ may fly.

Pigs can fly, but pigs DON’T fly, so this is a totally worthless, empty, tin “can”.

I am destroying 1997 Past Me, for writing in outline, various ways to access loose cognitive association binding.

The only “various ways” are the 300 species of Psilocybin mushrooms.

Non-drug make-believe “spirituality” or “meditation” or “mysticism” is phony, purely an avoidance strategy to avoid the only means (ie, Golden Teacher) by which we are transformed from possibilism to eternalism.

“The 2023 annual meeting of the Academy saw the introduction of a new Drugs and Religion unit chaired by scholars from Stanford and Emory University.”

5. Moving forward
[section in “Foraging Wrong”]

Freedom facilitated by structure
[section in “Foraging Wrong”]

Remember, the rules of non-realism art interpretation have a special-case exception for pilzbaum or other mushroom imagery in Christian art.

In the special case of mushroom imagery in Christian art, artists have no freedom, no intentionality, are helpless slaves of the “prototypes”, have no initiative, send no message.

Non-realism art is to be judged by standards of realism art – in this special-case topic, only.

An image in art can only have a single meaning, and that is the non-mushroom meaning (in this special case, only, of mushroom imagery in Christian art).

The special pleading fallacy.

END OF ARTICLE SECTIONS OUTLINE

How to Fail at Arbitrary Argumentation that Can Readily Be Countered by the Exact Opposite Argumentation

PMTs = psychedelic mushroom theorists; pilzbaum affirmers; affirmers of mushrooms in Christian art.

Each of the plants in the third-day scene has branches — branches that look like actual mushrooms.

The actual mushrooms that the PMTs wish to identify these pilzbaum with do not have branches, but they look like the branches that this image has.

Coherently, intelligently using this image to prove purposeful mushroom imagery:

The branches in this image look like the actual mushrooms that pilzbaum affirmers wish to identify these pilzbaum images with.

HEY HUGGINS I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU:

YOU MENTION “Each of the plants in the third-day scene also has branches” AS AN ARGUMENT WHY PILZBAUM DON’T LOOK LIKE MUSHROOMS.

PRAY TELL, WHAT DO THOSE BRANCHES LOOK LIKE?
[ANSWER: MUSHROOMS]

Huggins’ “Foraging Wrong” Article

Foraging for Psychedelic Mushrooms in the Wrong Forest: The Great Canterbury Psalter as a Medieval Test Case – Ronald Huggins, 2024, aka Hatsis Jr.

https://www.academia.edu/118659519/Foraging_for_Psychedelic_Mushrooms_in_the_Wrong_Forest_The_Great_Canterbury_Psalter_as_a_Medieval_Test_Case

An important good/bad article.

Huggins covers the right, relevant scholars & materials, state of the non-debate.

pilzbaum are either a tree or a mushroom, and cannot be a mushroom, bc per Panofsky’s argument based on {branching} motif features (while failing to perceive non-branching, eg {cut right trunk/ branch}).

In fact, the artists were messaging “psychedelic eternalism”, via branching mushroom imagery, to make viewers interpret the entire image (& genre, & religious myth overall) as analogies describing the psychedelic-state experience of non-branching, and showing how to re-train personal control by affirming non-branching ie eternalism.

That is WHY, the PURPOSE, artists depicted both mushroom imagery components and/ along with/ integrated with branching – and, non-branching, eg cut right trunk, meaningless to Panofsky/ Hatsis / Huggins, the reductionist literalists, “those on the outside”, tone deaf to meaning and the altered-state referent.

These deniers have no argument, just a wall of painfully (puzzlingly) obvious logical fallacies. What are they thinking/ assuming but not saying?

See Brown revealing Hatsis’ confusion, at Graham Hancock site.

The Deniers put forth half-expressed arguments that aren’t designed to endure any pushback; their argumenrs fall over with the slightest breeze of pushback, in a 2-way actual debate.

Why do the deniers not care at all about making good arguments?

It is exhausting, trying to decipher their muddled confusion underlying their garbled half-argumentation.

They start by assuming that which is to be proved, and then proceed to pile every logical fallacy on that soggy foundation, all downhill from there.

HIDDEN BY VILLAIN WASSON, REVEALED BY HERO BROWN

It is annoying how Huggins pretends we have had Panofsky’s 2nd 1952 letter, with the branching argument that Huggins copypastes, since the book Soma in 1968.

We only have the letter and its branches argument thanks to Brown in 2019.

No thanks to obstructionist Wasson, who tried to hide & censor Panofsky’s leads to discourage people from looking into mushroom trees.

Wasson knew Brinckmann’s 1906 book did nothing to help Panofsky’s denial, and sipported mushroom tree asserters instead.

So Wasson censored both recommendations of Brinkmann’s book, and kept secret that Panofsky included two pictures of mushroom trees.

Amanita is popular BECAUSE it DOESN’T produce ego death.

Cubensis was unpopular in psychedelics history bc it works to target the interesting thought-source vulnerability, achilles heel, ego’s kryptonite.

Brinckmann 1906 is a different case; he lacked the concept of “taboo psychoactive mushrooms as asserted by Allegro” – maybe in a limited sense, Brinckmann 1906 can be considered pilzbaum Denier, but he didn’t really have that concept and context.

That research has yet to be done: see if and where Brinckmann gives the evidence and argumentation that Panofsky claims is in that 1906 book.

Based on my study so far, I assume Brinckmann’s book support the pilzbaum Affirmers, not the pilzbaum Deniers.

Same with Panofsky’s two pilzbaum pictures that were attached to the first letter to Wasson.

At his “Witches Ointment” page, Cyberdisciple identified the question of whether Letcher and Hatsis are the same position as pilzbaum Deniers:

“Hatsis … website includes … debunking of … mushrooms in Christian religious iconography.

“The debunking seems to be in the style of Andy Letcher’s Shroom, which debunks the Wasson-Allegro-McKenna mushroom theory of the origins of religion.

“Letcher’s debunking was poorly theorized and limited (see: http://egodeath.com/ViewsOnEntheogensInReligiousHistory.htm#_Toc164518582 and http://www.egodeath.com/ShroomLetcher.htm), and

I intend to see whether Hatsis shares those limitations and can be grouped with Letcher or should be considered an independent position.

Add Ronald Huggins, who wrote the “Dizzy” article in 2022, about Salamander bestiary aka Dancing Man, and wrote the “Foraging Wrong” article about Great Canterbury Psalter images in 2024.

Letcher, Hatsis, and Huggins write with the same voice and tone and argumentation style: the pilzbaum Denier voice.

Challenge: differentiate Letcher vs. Hatsis vs. Huggins.

Huggins also acts as copy machine copy/pasting Panofsky’s argument from branches, from Panofsky’s 2nd letter, which we only had since 2019.

How to engage bad-attitude scholars

Cyberdisciple advises to stay focused on ideas and avoid argument from ad hominem; character-based argumentation based on “that scholar has poor character”:

https://cyberdisciple.wordpress.com/2021/09/26/criticism-of-mushrooms-in-christian-art-by-tom-hatsis-and-chris-bennett/#personality

I want Huggins to say where and how he found the two 1957 Panofsky letters and the Brinckmann citation, given that Wasson since 1968 censored them.

Huggins’ usage of these documents smells sleazy and dishonorable.

Huggins’ article contributes in the usual half-baked way for pilzbaum Deniers:

Pilzbaum can’t be mushrooms, because pilzbaum have branches” — which look like mushrooms.

Huggins acts ignorant (“I had no idea I’m the only one who is aware of Panosky’s two letters and his Brinckmann citation”).

Either Huggins is unbelievably ignorant of the sordid state of the literature until Brown 2019, or, Huggins is dishonorably participating in a cover-up of Wasson’s egregious censorship and self-contradiction.

Wasson in SOMA says to “consult”, while in the very same breath, actively censoring and suppressing the Brinckmann citation – thereby dishonestly, covertly switching the meaning of “consult” away from “consult academics’ publications” to “consult academics personally”.

The Huggins articles about mushrooms in Christian art serve largely as a literature review.

The overwhelmingly notable thing about Huggins’ “Foraging Wrong” article, totally overshadowing any content and argumentation, is Huggins’ extremely strange usage of Brinckmann’s book 1906, and of Panofsky’s second article.

Huggins acts like there is nothing amiss here.

Huggins acts as if he is covering-up for Wasson’s censorship of the deniers’ lone, “little”, scholarly publication.

Huggins cites Browns’ book 2016, but omits Brown 2019 article that presents and reveals the two Panofsky letters.

Huggins cites the Panofsky letters in a footnote, but not in his Bibliography.

Huggins mentions Brinckmann’s book and chastises the reader in his Conclusion section:

“Trees, being peripheral to the more central features of medieval iconography, are not often discussed by art historians. A noted exception is Albert Erich Brinckmann’s Baumstilisierungen in der mittelalterlichen Malerei (1906), a work recommended by Panofsky in his letters to Wasson back in 1952.”

Huggins provides the usual poor quality argumentation, as bizarre, convoluted, strained, and malformed, as is standard for pilzbaum Deniers:

“Panofsky [2nd 1952 letter than Wasson censored] provided a starting point … for determining … trees or mushrooms: (1) If it has branches, or … it is a tree not a mushroom [false dilemma fallacy], (2) If it has indications of layers of foliage … it is a tree not a mushroom, and (3) If it has fruit it is a tree not a mushroom …

“These three criteria rule out all the … alleged examples of trees representing psychedelic mushrooms in medieval art that this author [Huggins] has encountered in his extensive survey of their materials.”

“Extensive”, except omits my 2006 Plainc. article, and doesn’t cite Brown 2019.

Huggins fails to point out the hugest factor, that entheogen scholars weren’t given this Brinckmann citation until Brown exposed Wasson’s academic deception in 2019 by publishing both Panofsky letters.

Strangely, adding suspicion, the Bibliography of Huggins’ “Foraging Wrong” article omits Brinckmann (as well as Panofsky’s letters), and only mentions him in the article body.

The giant elephant in the room is that Wasson censored some five things, including:

The Brinckmann citation, in the same SOMA 1968 paragraph that Wasson insulted mycologists/ pilzbaum affirmers and berated them for failing to “consult”(??) art historians – while just 6 lines above, censoring the double-strong citation of Brinckmann provided by Panofsky to Wasson 1952 and shown only in highly censored form by Wasson in SOMA 1968.

Ancients Were Wrong in Pushing Secret Amanita Mysteries and Garbled Pop Physics Mysticism

7pm Nov 22, 2024 Michael Hoffman

2nd-Rate Secret Amanita and Pop Physics Garbled Mysticism Is the Fault of Bible and Ancient Culture Not Just 20th Century Reduction

Secret Amanita and Pop Physics Garbled Mysticism Was Created by Bible and Ancient Culture not Ruck and Capra

I’m taking a look at Paul Feyerabend’s chapter in the book Farewell to Reason, critiquing Popper re Quantum Physics.

I an formulating a relatable explanatory version of eternalism-based psychedelic mysticism theory, that revolutionizes entheogen scholarship and stands on my own separate independent basis, yet also relates to world religious myth and the history of Western Esotericism, Christianity, and historical pop mysticism.

By far the most effective and efficient way of actual transformation/ initiation, is the theory of psychedelic eternalism based mysticism ie Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism with 2-level control, that is clearly related to (co-explained with) historical muddled mysticism and mixed-bag religious myth – the overgrowth obscuring the underlying trellis structure; poor signal/ noise ratio.

Like my 2007 main article expanded on my 1997 core-theory outline summary (and included awesome art, decoded by 2022, not 2007).

Re: correcting entheogen scholarship, I’m doing like my rejection of writings on Mysticism as garbled poor thinking + poor writing (like the “Moving Past Mysticism” article in the Psychedelic Science field).

“Moving Past Mysticism” article:

https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/01/15/the-theory-of-psychedelic-eternalism-provides-a-scientific-explanatory-basis-for-mystic-state-experiencing/

i am not only criticizing and surpassing the Carl “Amanita Promoter” Ruck school, I am criticizing the ancients for their Amanita-based murky half-enlightenment.

Me in 1986: “We can do better and think & write more clearly” – a Modern improvement, I determined to create.

Me in 1987: omg, Quantum Physics is eager regression into foggy magic thinking (I pushed back against professor in the classroom).

I loved Minkowski block spacetime, I immediately built my explanation of mystic transformation in terms of the psychedelic (loose cognition) experience of Minkowski block spacetime.

I equally hated QM, the opposite of that clarity that was previously developed for the theory of Invariance/ Relativity.

QM was created and embraced precisely BECAUSE Minkowski’s block spacetime so effectively and clearly insulted ego-power to death. I thus study the Psychology of QM.

My Modern Physics professor suggested books, but I found books agreeing with me against the Pop Physics spirituality & overhasty embrace of QM ~1925, criticized by James T. Cushing’s two books.

I am rejecting ancient Pop Secret Amanita spirituality – Carl Ruck didn’t invent that in 1975; the ancients themselves were too muddle-headed and overemphasized 2nd rate Amanita, and perverse obfuscation in writing.

The smartest ancients used explicit psilocybin mushrooms, such as Explicit Cubensis, instead of Secret Amanita.

Eadwine (art director of the Great Canterbury Psalter) agrees with me, in striving for clear communication about psychedelic eternalism high-powered mystic-state transformation.

I am allying with Eadwine’s crowd, the mushroom tree artists, against the low-grade pop mystics throughout history.

I am allied with the mushroom tree artists, against the Secret Amanita mystery inititates.

Eadwine and I are anti-mystery, other than the real “hidden mystery” that is the egoic childish immature initial possibilism-thinking that is meant to be revealed and explained forthrightly by clear-thinking, clear-speaking mature adults, like a modern, Cognitive Science STEM textbook, not baffling poetry revelling in secrecy and obfuscation a la (most of) the ancients’ perverse Secret Amanita paradigm.

We are the big-brain minority voice running throughout history, our distinct tradition of Explicit Cubensis depiction of Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism with 2-level (dependent) control, transformed away from Literalist Ordinary-state Possibilism with autonomous control.

Eadwine and I — the minority, yet more important school — are dedicated to clear communication, like Saint Martin painter and the window artist of “St Eustace Crossing the River”, both Eadwine (Great Canterbury Psalter f134, f145, f177) & St Eustace window showing botanical explicit Cubensis.

Great Canterbury Psalter:

Saint Martin church:

https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/11/saint-martin-frescos-➳🖖🌴🔪🍄🖼🔍🔬🧐/

St. Eustace window:

I bring my core theory (psychedelic eternalism) & the mytheme theory, to serve as the voice of the mushroom tree artists, explaining their synthesis of {mushroom} and {non/branching} motifs to Panofsky/ Hatsis/ Huggins, along with {handedness} and {stability} motifs, as well as the {mushroom hem} & John Rush’s {celestial erection} motifs.

I critique ancient mysticism and its obfuscationism, by applying my core theory + the mytheme theory, to critique their garbled expressions of psychedelic eternalism, and their overuse of 2nd-rate Secret Amanita instead of 1st-rate Explicit Cubensis.

My role/ strategy/ labor/ project is to shape my core theory (Psychedelic Eternalism with 2-level control) so as to clarify the mythic muddle that the ancients delivered to us, by leveraging Eadwine, my twin and ally.

Late Antiquity rebelled against their Early Antiquity grandparents’ psychedelic eternalism as a “prison” to escape, by reworking and re-focusing their myth and Mystery initiation technology & narrative emphasis. T

Late Antiquity inverted & reworked the old, received Heimarmene-initiation narrative, as April McConick says was the Gnostics’ deliberate, strategic, rebellious inversions of received religious myth.

Unfortunately most bible & art is low-grade Amanita, but should’ve been 1st-rate psil msh instead.

Eadwine (art director of the Great Canterbury Psalter) agrees with me on this: explicit Cubensis eternalism is extremely efficient; red Amanita is just a symbol, as Dale Pendell says.

Amanita muscaria is the most famous entheogen in the world that nobody uses. It is the supreme symbol of all entheogenic religion.

{snake} = worldline in frozen block universe

{snake biting its tail} = frozen block universe as a bounded region (and boundaries are for crossing, via gates)

Decoded: OUROBOROS CIRCLE, SNAKE BITING Its TAIL [10:25 am November 22, 2024] means the eternalism block universe as a bounded container; the serpent-wrapped cosmos at the top of the onion layer 8: fixed stars — with the implication of affirming & accommodating eternalism, conforming your agency model to eternalism, so as to transcend no-free-will/ fatedness.

When you exert yourself as a control agent in the intense altered state, to avoid loss of control, you must assert yourself as a virtual-only control agent; a VIRTUAL control agent, despite seeing and knowing 2-level control, that you are a helpless thought-receiver, totally vulnerable – else loss of control.

The Cosmic Serpent is the idea of the eternalism boundary of the cosmos, a boundary to cross from 8th to 9th, from the Ogdoad to the Ennead, not skipping the 8th (the no-free-will/monopossibility level), as Wouter “naive freewill thinking” Hanegraaff does by censoring the sphere of fixed stars and deceptively redefining the term “the stars” to mean only the planetary (moving) stars (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn).

Thus (in that sense), you have “transcended” eternalism/ heimarmene/ fatedness/ no-free-will/monopossibility/ non-branching of possibilities.

title key words:

Minkowski Block Universe Invariance General Relativity vs Quantum Physics

Psychedelic Eternalism vs Pop Quantum Spirituality

Saturn Gate into Heimarmene Prison vs Fixed Stars Gate into the Virtual Freewill Supercelestial Empyrian with God and the (Perfected Completed) Elect Above the Stars / Serpent that wraps / bounds the eternalism/ heimarmene block universe. fatedness-ruled

In my 1991 ink brush drawing, a snake in the block rises past outside the block, crying “Liberte!” – that figure is equivalent to the {serpent wrapped around the cosmos}, (biting its tail) which is withjn the sphere of fixed stars, at the top/ upper layer of level 8.

How to Legitimately Leave the Eternalism Block Universe – Not via Quantum Spirituality ( = Naive Freewill Thinking)

Ouroboros = block universe boundary.

To exit the eternalism domain, to leave the block universe, be so good at accepting no-free-will/monopossibility & the control-thought inserter, as a helpless puppet of God, you have viable stable control in the intense Psilocybin loosecog state.

the cosmic serpent, the block-universe serpent ruler

General Relativity vs Quantum Physics =

no-free-will vs freewill thinking

Full awareness of the block universe gives the true kind of freewill; Quantum Mechanics-based pop spirituality sustains the false kind of freewill, prevents & successfully avoids {transformation by encountering terrifying psychedelic block-universe eternalism}.

QM = the bunk way to preserve freewill thinking. vs principled, virtual-only freewill thinking.

I assert myself as a consciously virtual-only control agent, helpless puppet of God, the creator of the frozen block-universe eternalism spacetime block.

Produces stable self-control in the ASC.

Pre/Trans Fallacy: Naive Free Will vs Virtual Free Will

We return to freewill thinking/ experiencing after the peak window, AND in the intense paychedlic state of hyper awareness we are able to effectively control, like an enlightened king.

WHY do pop spiritual people embrace QM quantum physics and ignore block-universe general relativity (called ‘invariance’ by Einstein)? Because QM does not challenge & disprove freewill thinking; QM preseves ego branching power.

The pre/trans fallacy a la Ken Wilber: affirming eternalism fully amounts to transcending/ escaping the heimarmene prison, in that the personal agent is able to cope and exert itself effectively when on the peak state, without loss of control.

That is the real way in which we “transcend” no-free-will/ monopossibility.

The fake, ersatz way to try to have spiritually legit freewill delivered, is to retain untransformed naive freewill thinking by adopting QM.

QM is foggy and mind-creates-reality, “conscious” observation collapses the wave; multiverse.

Every word-choice and version of QM serves the motivation/ purpose of empowering freewill ego power, reifying possibilism-thinking.

The purpose of Schrödinger’s Cat was to reject & ridicule & disprove QM.

I’ve done the QP experiments and written up the lab reports in a 1988 university course in Modern Physics, and got the record highest score on the Relativity exam:

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is merely because when you throw a mass at a mass to measure the position of the latter, reducing the precision.

The limited precision has zilch to do with “conscious observation”. It’s merely that the mechanics of measuring disturbs the particle.

block-universe superdeterminism solves EPR – no faster than light info is transmitted.

first, we pass through Saturn gate at top of the Saturn sphere onion layer, to move from the Seventh sphere/ onion layer to the Eighth level.

Treatise on the Ogdoad (Eighth) and the Ennead (Ninth) – and Septoad (Seventh)

Hanegraaff’s book Altered States of Knowledge has those terms. he skips from freewill thinking (demonized as “heimarmene”) at level 7 straight to the 9th level, that’s outside of level 8

sphere of fixed stars = no-free-will/monopossibility = heimarmene = serpent = serpent boundary – see Ulansey online article about snake-wrapped.

Wouter Hanegraaff leaps past level 8 (heimarmene) & deletes it on his pseudo-transformational journey from naive freewill thinking to faux transcendent virtual freewill that’s really just regressive, untransformed, developmentally stunted, naive freewill thinking.

KEEP CALM AND CONTROL ON, to exit no-free-will/ monopossibility

First, starting in the top of the Saturn layer (freewill thinking in altered state), we repeatedly partially move through the gate into level 8: the sphere of the fixed stars; heimarmene consciousness.

Eventually the mind is fully transformed to be able to maintain calm control in the peak state of awareness of vulnerability, helplessly receiving control-thoughts from the uncontrollable higher controller; the uncontrollable source of control.

At that point, we (the completed/ perfected initiate) transcend no-free-will; we have moved from the Ogdoad 8th sphere-layer through an even higher, star gate, at the top of the 8th onion-layer, into the Ennead 9th sphere-layer.

The Empyrian = fire realm, here resides God the Creator and all of the Elect.

The Standard Mapping of Cosmology to Freewill

astral ascent mysticism levels per the classical geocentric model

9-11 = virtual freewill; practical freewill thinking based in eternalism-thinking

9-11 — virtual freewill, transcendent mastery of eternalism , the Empyrian fire outside the fixed stars, with the Creator & the Elect.

8 = no-free-will; eternalism-thinking (w/o a virtual-freedom emphasis)

8 — no-free-will, eternalism thinking, eternalism awareness, block universe awareness, monopossibility, heimarmene, fatedness.

This is where all the action is at in psychedelic transformation: entering into here via Saturn gate, then exiting upward via God gate, savior gate, to exit the heimarmene prison.

The sphere of fixed stars includes the zodaic (animals) band of 12 out of the 45 or 88 constellations.

The constellations can be viewed from above or below eg Taurus bull facing left vs right; per David Ulansey.

The image of {sage holding celestial sphere} means transforming thinking via psychedelics, first to no-free-will/monopossibility, and then upon completing roasting and burning off for transmutating, transforming to virtual freewill thinking, in which you are able to avoid loss of control while in the peak mystic state.

1-7 = freewill; naive freewill thinking

1-7 — naive freewill [thinking].

the planetary spheres: moon mercury venus sun mars jupiter, & especially SATURN (where is the sacrificing of the pleading/ praying child).

Sphere level 7 is Saturn.

The important Saturn gate is at the top of the Saturn onion-layer.

Hanegraaff’s Confused Cosmology Mapping to Freewill

geocentric cosmology levels:

8-11 = freewill thinking

8-11 freewill (Wouter Hanegraaff actually ends up with untransformed, naive freewill thinking)

biggest confusion: he deletes the fixed stars (ie heimarmene/ fatedness) from level 8, jams them down into Saturn, equates level 8 with TRANSCENDING heimarmene (totally garbled!)

Classically, level 8 = heimarmene (definitively), not yet transcending heimarmene (that doesn’t happen til level 9)

1-7 = no-free-will; fate-controlled thinking/ experiencing

1-7 heimarmene; no-free-will, enslaved by fate

Hanegraaff Falls into the anti-Heimarmene Marketing Twists/ Reframings/ Modifications/ Claims of Late Antiquity

Using Luther Martin’s characterizations of periodization:

early antiquity = psychedelics transform the mind from naive freewill thinking to eternalism-thinking. end-state: no-free-will/ monopossibility.

late antiquity = rebellion against eternalism as the end-state. change the narrative framing; marketing depts:

In competition, all late-antiquity religions proffered an inverted, modified narrative (countersignalling the harsh psychedelic eternalism of early antiquity), that psychedelics transform the mind from (naive freewill thinking &) eternalism-thinking to virtual freewill thinking

The goal & marketing focus of salvation in late antuity is to move from level 8 to 9; concentrate on attaining freedom from the heimarmene/ fatedness prison that early antiquity (psychedelic eternalism) shackled us with.

Scholars claim “Christianity invented freewill thinking”: false.

All the religions of late antiquity invented freewill thinking, in competition against each other: neoplatonism; gnosticism, Christianity, hermeticism, & Mithraism. per my theory’s findings & discoveries.

Fully transforming into psychedelic eternalism = transcending psychedelic eternalism

Block Spacetime Mystic Transformation

Before Quantum Mechanics (QM) was formed, the basic idea of time as a 4th dimension was mathematically formalized in 1908 by Einstein’s math professor Minkowski — entirely prior to QM.

That math formalism was initially REJECTED by Einstein.

I built my system of mystic enlightenment (psychedelic eternalism) on that basic idea of block spacetime — not essentially based on the theory of Invariance/ Relativity, nor based on the later QM.

I’m an example of an entirely satisfying & successful mystic system that is not at all based on QM or Modern Physics, other than the basic idea of time as a 4th dimension (block spacetime), which I think was in the air in that era 1880-1910.

The block spacetime idea relates to (entheogen-based) Greek myth, eg {king saw snake, turned to stone}.

Splendor Solis: Philosophers Beside the Tree

Michael Hoffman, November 21, 2024 8:10 pm UTC+0

Site Map

Contents:

Intro

Noon Thursday, November 21, 2024, Cybermonk

20 different versions, around 1535 & 1582 AD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splendor_Solis – “Splendor Solis (English: “The Splendour of the Sun”) is a version of the illuminated alchemical text attributed to Salomon Trismosin. This version dates from around 1582.

The earliest version, written in Central German, is dated 1532–1535 and is part of the Kupferstichkabinett Berlin collection at the State Museums in Berlin. It is illuminated on vellum, with decorative borders like a book of hours, meticulously painted and highlighted with gold.

“The later copies in London, Kassel, Paris and Nuremberg are equally fine. Twenty versions exist worldwide.”

Date of Discovery: November 7, 2024

I recognized {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs on or shortly before November 7, 2024 Thursday (searched web on that date), on the front cover of Irvin & Rutajit 1st Ed 2006 book Astrotheology & Shamanism, which Irvin gave me on April 11, 2007.

Irvin cites that 2006 book in his 2008 book The Holy Mushroom, p. 104:

“Ruck and Gonzalez attempt to limit entheogens to “Christian mysticism and so-called heretical sects” [abnormal Christians], but as shown in Astrotheology & Shamanism & the gallery in present book, this is completely unfounded, as there is enough compelling evidence to show that [ordinary, mainstream] Christianity itself is based on entheogens.”

I increasingly figured out birds & fence gate a few days after that.

2pm Nov 11 2024, while composing this page and goal-driven / template-driven fillling in the 4 motif lists, I found versions of the image that have mushrooms at feet, and basket hanging from {cut right branch}.

This is a form of prediction & confirmation; know what to look for, eg non-branching; if yields fruit – or mushrooms + cut branches — that confirms the hypothesized pattern.

“Philosophers beside the tree” has the 4 motifs: {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability}.

These page photos are of the 2006 1st Ed., not 2009 2nd Ed.

Gold Metallic Amanita

Secret Amanita Conclusion: Irvin “Attempts to Limit” the Entheogen to the Elite, “Completely Unfounded”

In his 2008 book The Holy Mushroom, Irvin condemns:

“Ruck & Gonzalez attempt to limit entheogen usage to “Christian mysticism and so-called heretical sects”. As was shown in Astrotheology & Shamanism (Irvin et al, 2006), … this is completely unfounded, as there is enough compelling evidence to show Christianity itself is based on entheogens. … the Chapel at Plaincourault was built by the Knights of Malta, a sanctioned Catholic order headquartered in Vatican City to the present day. They are certainly not a “so-called heretical sect”.

Yet Irvin 2006 1st Ed likewise attempts to limit entheogens: “kept secret for the kings, priests and the elite.” The first sentence of the Conclusion section. So Irvin had to delete that sentence from the 2009 2nd Ed.

Limiting entheogens is baked into the Secret Amanita paradigm, per the moderate entheogen theory of religion.

The Secret Amanita paradigm is crafted so as to accomodate Prohibition and work/ labor to restrict entheogens to a fabricated “counterculture”, foolishly working against their own interest.

In sharp contrast, the Explicit Cubensis paradigm is strategic toward actual Repeal – along with delivering Transcendent Knowledge.

Purple rectangle pen = where a Secret Amanita paradigm writer tries to construct a prohibition barrier wall to keep The Mushroom 🍄 (infantile kiddie Amanita, only) from Christians.

Purple rectangle indicates the words that are used to construct a boundary, a wall, circumscribing each instance of entheogens to keep them only on one side of a dividing barrier.

Puzzles to Interpret via {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} Motifs

Page created Nov. 21, 2024 Cybermonk 7 am

Contents:

Intro

My previously posted webpage
https://egodeaththeory.org/2024/11/20/cubensis-driven-entheogen-scholarship-the-most-productive-relevant-and-rewarding-approach/
explains puzzles of the highest order in medieval art, so this ad link appeared:
https://trinkyz.com/product/wooden-jigsaw-puzzles-for-kids-ages-3-5-10-pack-choose-from-22-designs/

Exercise for the reader:

Think of each image below as if it were a puzzle, and identify instances of the four motifs:

{mushrooms}

{branching}

{handedness}

{stability}

Art Puzzles in Which to Identify {mushroom}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs

Dragon & Dinosaur

  • {mushrooms}:
  • {branching}:
  • {handedness}:
  • {stability}:

Monkey

  • {mushrooms}:
  • {branching},
  • {handedness}, and
  • {stability}

Sheep

  • {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs
  • standing on L rear foot — EXACTLY like the Great Canterbury Psalter f177 Row 2 L sacrificed rams in the furnace!! 🤯 PROOF!!

It’s basically the exact same picture!

Crop by Cybermonk, March 19, 2023

Snake

  • {mushrooms},
  • {branching}: serpent non-branching contrasted vs branch
  • {handedness}, and {stability} motifs
  • the red key tree next to it has same morphology as the main tree, just like f134 R1L next to leg-hanging mushroom tree, touching it.

Mouse 🍄

  • {mushrooms}, 🍄 – need i say more? 😑
  • {branching}, head is tilted to mouse’s Right in the direction of the non-branching tail
  • {handedness}
  • {stability}

Jan. 28, 2025, I’m copying from idea development page 23 to here:

{mushroom}

Two Amanitas forming a YI pair, with taxonomical facsimile of Liberty Cap, Panaeolus, and Cubensis features.31

31 Paul Stamets, Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An Identification Guide, 1996, p. 15.

Per John Rush, the figure in the middle holds something in right hand, that looks suspiciously like a mushroom.

Per Ruck, with as much bravado as faceplant (matched only by Brown, and also by Brown):

One example alone should suffice to silence the art historians: The mouse has a typical mushroom-tree beside him. The mushroom has a red cap, and a similar mushroom branches from its blue-staining trunk/stem. There are spots of bluing on the stems, and blue is associated with Cubensis, which indicates that this branching pair of Amanita are psychoactive.

https://egodeaththeory.org/2023/03/27/ahahaha-hatsis-did-totally-bust-carl-amanita-promoter-ruck-for-taunting-based-on-wrong-guess-that-salamander-cap-is-red-and-white-%f0%9f%a4%a1%f0%9f%8d%84/

📚🖼📕😓😓📚📓🖼🤔🤔📒📚🤯🤯

Add brilliant strenuous scholarly research from Brown, with double IQ from Brown as well:

We intensively academically researched the backstory, and discovered that the central figure is considered in folk-lore about this tapestry, that the figure is understood to be a mouse!

Therefore, not a mushroom. 🍄🖼 –> 🗑

This astute, critical, negative conclusion is our main case for why our identification skill is superior – we stake our entire Psychedelic Gospels theory and reputation for credibility on it.

Per Ruck, the colors identify this as secretly Amanita, because associated with The Mushroom (🍄) are the colors red, white, gold, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, gray, and black, as well as silver — and this image has gold-orange-redpurple, therefore, it secretly matches.

{branching}

The bricks in the big left mushroom are relatively branching compared to the small brickless mushroom, therefore this mushroom-tree is branching form YI, which is the classic form with branching mapped to Left, non-branching mapped to Right.

Non-branching tail & path.

{handedness}

Tail is CONSUBSTANTIAL WITH the mushroom-tree on the left, by touching it on the right side of the God/Jesus/mouse figure.

Head tilted right, means mystic-state remembering.

A straightedge proves that the mouse nose is pointing at the HIDDEN MUSHROOM.

Butterfly’s left antenna is touching branching flower, proving that this image affirms the standard mapping, Left = branching = loss of control in the Psilocybin loosecog state of loose cognitive association binding.

{stability}

{unfurrowed brow} + rainbow touching head indicates stable, transcendent control.

Typical art interpretation level of sophistication of entheogen scholarship: CAN YOU SPOT THE MUSHROOM? 🍄

According to Bennett, the above is sophisticated masterful art, compared to Plaincourault:

Eve’s weight is on right foot. {standing on right foot}, like Golden Psalter same scene, Eve at the Tree of Knowledge.

Cow 🐄💩🍄‍🟫

  • {mushrooms}: 🍄‍🟫✅😑
  • brown spots indicates psychoactive mushroom tripping, exactly like how in headshop art visual language, {spotted mushroom} means Cubensis.
  • 🌲 proves 🍄
  • {branching}: moon horns
  • {handedness}: R hoof fwd affirms relying on eternalism-thinking/ non-branching to produce smile/ peace instead of fear of loss of control
  • {stability}: per Ruck’s interpive method, , this is clearly Zeus in bull form, that abducted Persephone into the underworld.

Citation: Paul Feyerabend’s book Farewell to Reason, chapter “Progress in Philosophy, the Sciences and the Arts”, section “Progress in the Arts ” pp. 148-153, discusses these diagrammatic Trinkyz puzzles, and says about them, that they use non-naturalistic style to describe and depict things of the highest order, superior to Naturalism style, which is reductionistic, like Huggins’ 2024 article against mushroom trees.

Tauroctony Corruption by Foolish Non-Initiates pushing their Secret Amanita entheogen scholarship paradigm

Mark Hoffman made the blue-stemmed psilocybin mushroom in Mitrhras’ leg invisible, in order to exagerrate the red and white Amanita colors in Mithras’ garment.

The Red Shift corruption operation on art evidence done by Irvin (Danc/Salamander bestiary) & M Hoffman (Entheos 2 cover Tauroctony ) is a perfect example of the distorting suppression of Blue, in the Blue to Red shift.

The Red paradigm abusively suppressed Blue, forcing Blue to support & exist purely in support of the Red paradigm.

Flip it: force Red to serve & support the Blue paradigm.

The Secret Amamita paradigm assimilated Cubensis into it.

The Explicit Cubensis paradigm needs to assimilate Amanita evidence into it.

Amanita is a spreading ornamental weed that chokes out the good valuable plants.

Blue paradigm has to deal w / fight against two realities:

Euro art foundation is Amanita

Mysteries thinking/ culture ie Jesus’ hiding of comprehensuon from thise on the outside, those outside the gates, vs those on the inside having Amanita and understanding that myth refers to/ describes psychedelic eternalism not mundane-experiencing things like Huggins’ reductionism advocacy “a mushroom tree is either a mushroom or a tree, which literal one is it?

The text proves tgat the man is trying to literally kill the literal salander. I ‘reached out’ pompously to Hanegraaff but neither of us could figure out how the salamder got replaved by a phoenix” 🤷‍♂️

The Amanita Atman Project: Pursuing Transcendent Knowledge 🍄‍🟫 by Means Which Prevent It 🍄

Ken Wilber defines the Atman project as pursuing enlightenment through means which prevent enlightenment.

By pursuing Transcendent Knowledge via SA Secret Amanita, man/ W culture/ Ruck / pop entheogen scholarship AVOIDS finding Transcendent Knowledge

Secret Amanita is an avoidance tactic to avoid ego death/ sacricing free-will branching steeering power.

Explicit Cubensis is the way to Transcendent Knowledge, effectually killing king ego.

egoic ppl Avoid Explicit Cubensis, & dwell on Secret Amanita instead, to keep the branching-power delusion in place.

To keep the illusion of autonomous control, instead of 2-level control.

Challenge: Given: Amanita as Tree of Life Is the Main Theme of Euro Culture (Art, Religious Myth, & Fairytales)

The Explicit Blue paradigm must incorporate & transform that factual situation; WHY is Amanita all-dominant in W Art & myth & Bible texts – list of Bible chapters

Gen 2-3 🍄

Ezekiel 🍄

Rev 2:7, 2:17 🍄

Rev 10 🍄

Rev 22 🍄

Ruck’s / Allegro/ Hatsis/ Heinrich / M Hoffman/ Irvin/ J Rush 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄 findings & accomplishments SERVE AS A LIMITING BOUNDARY & MENTAL PRISON SHUTTING OUT PSILOCYBIN BLUE EVIDENCE AND MORE POWERFUL EXPERIENCING & COMPREHENSION.

Cubensis 🍄‍🟫 Historical Usage 👍 Has Been Enslaved, made to bolster the undeserving, decoy, dummy, lesser entheogen, with lesser Transcendent Knowledge: the SAP 🍄 👎

Although suppressed & overlooked & abusively forced into service supporting the undeserving SAP, Explicit Cubensis really exists in cultural history, and is the SUPERIOR, ALBEIT EVEN THOUGH MINORITY evidence & historical actual practice.

THROUGHOUT CULTURAL HISTORY, THE SECRET AMANITA PARADIGM HAS ALWAYS BEEN DOMINANT, OBSCURING & ASIMILATING & suppressing/ HIDING the real brains/ engine, Explicit Blue comprehension & practice.

It is fortunate I have identified the big problem we’re up against; maximizes our ability to solve/ factor-in/ compensate/ undo God’s Eden Prohibition when God created SAP.

🤫🍄⛓️ The Secret Amanita Paradigm

🖼️🐮🐄💩🍄‍🟫🤔 The Explicit Cubensis Paradigm

Poop Is Greater than Pee

🐮🍄‍🟫 > 🌲🍄

Allegro Wasson Ruck Hatsis Irvin Rush Heinrich Hoffman Staples did not INVENT the Secret Amanita paradigm; the Devil did, way back in Eden.

God or the Devil gives us Prohibition = Secret Amanita, in 1000 BC when Gen 2 was written.

All pop religion/ W culture eg Jesus recycling urine turning water to wine – unfortunately, Jesus DOES mean the Secret Amanita paradigm.

Allegro says the authors who wrote the Jesus character were thinking of Secret Amanita. He’s right, unfortunately.

In Rev 22 , Michael / Jesus / John announces: God is finished constructing SAP culture; and is now revealing the Explicit Cubensis paradigm [ECP].

Rev 22 Is God Replacing the Secret Amanita paradigm by the Explicit Cubensis paradigm

Finally on the last page of the Bible, titled by NIV translators “Eden Restored”, God ditches “those on the inside know Amanita”, replacing that at last by the Explicit Cubensis paradigm.

The Secret Amanita Paradigm Was Created by God (by Western Culture), not by Ruck

the Secret Amanita paradigm [SAP] comes from Gen2, God, Devil, Serpent, & from Jesus. Not from the Secret Amanita entheogen scholars — the SAES.

Hatsis is “right” alas ; what we are unfortunately stuck trapped in debating is indeed “yes or no: was there a secret Amanita cult?”

How to switch attention to the more valuable plant, Explicit Cubensis? given God’s world He proclaimed in Gen2: Let There Be Secret Amanita world lest Man reach out and eat Explicit Cubensis and be like us and have athanatos?

Challenge: Given: Secret Esoteric Understanding, Those on the Inside, the Mysteries, as Boundary like gated Eden & City of God, Is the Main Theme of European Culture (Art, Religious Myth, & Fairytales)

Reflects the reality that the mind can flip to understanding Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism – how to incorporate that reality without falling into the pop trap of dysfunctional boundary-creating, Prohibition-creating thought style/ framework/ explanatory framework/ paradigm? a limiting mental shackles prison.

The Red Shift corruption operation on art evidence done by Irvin (Danc/Salamander bestiary) & M Hoffman (Entheos 2 cover Tauroctony ) is a perfect example of the cancerous Amanita trap, Odysseus’ men stuck in the land of the lotus eaters, or pop Amanita theory readers.

Western Culture’s History of Only Seeing Secret Amanita Everywhere; Never Perceiving Explicit Cubensis Anywhere

SAP retards comprehension (by ancients throughout W culture, as well as by entheogen scholarship), SA delivers only 2nd-rate entheogen effects, making the lemmings in pop entheogen scholarship (& throughout W history) fail to recognize psilocybin mushrooms, only seeing Secret Amanita everywhere.

The Ruck Allegro Irvin Rush school is Ardent Advocates OF AMANITA — at the direct expense of deleting psilocybin mushrooms from Browns’ art database (that Brown said is the present website, in effect).

Wield/apply firmly the diamond hammer of interpretation; a forceful overlay as a detector device, as vigorously as Mark Hoffman forcing the color palette from Blue to Red in Entheos issue 3 cover in 2002: the tauroctony scene.

Mark Hoffman flipped the tauroctony scene on the cover of Entheos 3, so as to view the constellation of Taurus from below, ie the non-initiate’s point of view per David Ulansey; Eighth Gate article, about the orientation of Taurus constellation viewed from outside the heimarmene serpent-wrapped space-time block of no-free-will/monopossibility, so as to have VIRTUAL FREE WIIL that gives stable control; avoids loss of control when in the psilocybin peak window.

http://www.mysterium.com/eighthgate.html

John Rush 2nd ed online gallery is down, account suspended, instead see Archive site or 1st Ed DVD of blurry images of no-mushroom mushroom images.

Jan Irvin’s 2008 book The Holy Mushroom gallery plate corrupting the Dancing Man/ Salamander bestiary image, making Carl Ruck screw up and write in his “Fungus Redivivus” article, “the cap is red, so Amanita” in an appendix of Irvin’s Allegro’s book The Sacred Mushroom & the Cross.

Viewing the Fixed-Stars Heimarmene Boundary from Outside of the no-free-will eternalism spacetime block

A week ago after i discovered 1st Ed cover art 2 wks ago: Splendor Solis : “Philosophers beside the tree” has {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs, i found also:

In Irvin & Rutajit bk Astrotheology & Shamanism, i found that when holding a celestial cosmic globe/model, hollow, you view 6 constellations in the Zodiac band from below, and 6 from above = outside of the eternalism no-free-will/monopossibility spacetine block – the initiate’s POV.

How to Have Free Will Again, Virtually

After you incorporate fully & routinely, matter-of-factly the shocking ego-killing comprehension and awareness that you are a helpless vulnerable puppet per 2-level control, you have risen above eternalism / no-free-will/monopossibility, you have consciously virtual-only freewill autonomous control.

The completed, perfected initiate no longer has enmity with the serpent, or with God, the uncontrollable higher-level source of your control thoughts.

Outline Design Strategy

todo: read local file “/TK/Idea Dev 2024-12.md” and update the structure here according to the plans there.

todo: strategy: identify 5 topics to teach psychedelic church in person:
{mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs.

Introduction

The Explicit Cubensis Paradigm Is Productive

The Secret Amanita Paradigm Is Not Productive

The Explicit Cubensis Paradigm Is Relevant

The Secret Amanita Paradigm Is Not Relevant

The Explicit Cubensis Paradigm Is Rewarding

The Secret Amanita Paradigm Is Not Rewarding

Goal: Understand astral ascent mysticism pivoting around fixed stars heimarmene Ogdoad zodiac

Goal: Help go through the Gates; Identify Peak Fear as Forced Loss of Control

Explain summarize Core theory ie psychedelic eternalism incl dependent 2-level control.

Bad trip: What exactly is there to be afraid of?

Goal: Explain how to restabilize control

How exactly to restabilize control to become eternalism-immunized/ compatble, cleansed/ purified/ undefiled? [add]

Goal: Deliver 13 entheogens in Rev 22:2 as Tree of Life, 22:14

BIBLE STUDY: Rev 22:2, 22:14 [add]

Cubensis in Europe / England, FALSE KNOWLEDGE NEGATIVITY BLINDNESS.

Christianity has a fully developed Psil tradition.

The Amanita Primacy Fallacy is rubbish, gives us but more takes away from us.

How to adjust how we relate to Amanita.

Perspective: at this time, Psilocybin is spreading – people need to know psychedelic eternalism.

Teach psychedelic eternalism and help people read about psychedelic eternalism in Christian art.

Goal: Separate Amanita from Psilocybin; Abandon Failed Hypothesis “Sacred Mushrooms” Grouping Amanita with Psilocybin

Against the 1957 Hypothesis that we can helpfully lump together as useful explanatory analytical construct “The Sacred Mushroom”

Specify sep’ly:

  • The Sacred Amanita, like Datura: deliriant
  • The Sacred Psilocybin Mushrooms eg Panaeolus/ Cubensis/ Liberty Caps.

Goal: Correct Rolfe “It’s impossible to say if Plaincourault has a traditional foundation”

Rolfe 1925, The Romance of the Fungus World, p. 291: “A Curious Myth”
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2021/02/13/warmup-readings-for-the-egodeath-mystery-show/#The-Romance-of-the-Fungus-World

todo: in that section, correct the date of Plaincourault per Samorini 1997: over 100 years earlier. not 1291 AD, but 1184 AD, per endnote 4.

Also Abbot Rignoux wrote fresco is “mushroom” as early as ~1890, not French group 1910 pub’d 1911.

Entheogen scholarship includes errors, young field; reset everything we “know”. Every field must continually correct its errors.

AGAINST WASSON, this is definitely Amanita, integrated with branching motif etc.

Wasson is wrong, the mycologists are right, and WASSON HAD TO LIE, DECEIVE, AND CENSOR, AND BLOCK PANOFSKY, AND BLOCK BRINCKMANN, AND INSULT MYCOLOGISTS.

THE MYCOLOGISTS ARE RIGHT.

WASSON (BANKER FOR POPE = 100% EXTREME CONFLICT OF INTEREST) IS POSTURING, FAKE, A PUT-ON, PLAY-ACTING, CON ARTIST BLUFFING, DUPLICITOUS, RUDE, POMPOUS, LIAR, DECEIVER, CENSOR, CHARLATAN, OBSTRUCTIONIST, FRAUD, PHONY, DISHONEST, caught red-handed censoring the art authorities at the same time as berating stupid ignorant mycologists for failing to “consult” the art authorities; exposed as a fraud by the Journal of Psychedelic Studies​ 2019 Browns.

Huggins allies with the dishonest Wasson, passing silently over Wasson’s censorship while Huggins tries to quietly draw attention to Panofsky’s 2nd letter, as if nothing noteworthy, as if we had the letter since 1952.

Who do you side with: phony lying deceiver pretender? or truth and honesty?

Egodeath Mystery Show Ep16, Feb. 7, 2021: Read aloud “A Curious Myth”: https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2021/02/03/idea-development-page-11/#Mystery-Show-2021-02-07

Goal: Science-based (not folk myth based) psychedelic science & entheogen scholarship

format: 1-2 takeaway injunctions. 2 quotes without commentary. can quote my writings. But quotes take excess wordcount, which is why these articles journal are written voiced as they are w/ footnotes.

Letcher, Hatsis, Huggins call to differentiate folk stories vs. sceintific historiography per W Hanegraaff.

Hane calls for historiography (of Western Esotericism) that’s empirical science based, not based on myth or mythical history.

Letcher debunks folk myth but overshoots, denying any use of mushroom in Christian history. I’m against Secret Amanita, and Letcher is as well, yet we are in incomm paradigms.

Letcher debunks pop S A, but falsely claims no mushroom in Christianity history.

My paradigm is the Explicit Cubensis paradigm, which is not addressed by Letcher even though I’ve been publishing the maximal entheogen theory of religion since 2002.

Goal: Equip Cognitive Scientists to endure psychedelic eternalism

Goal: Open the gate for Loose Cognitive Science

Goal: Define Psychedelic Cognitive Science & Psychedelic Cognitive Science of Religion

Goal: Restore the role of Great Canterbury Psalter folio webpage image f134 (leg-hanging mushroom tree) as a teaching instrument.

Goal: Correct Brown’s error in this journal re: botching St Walburga tapestry Amanita imagery identification

Goal: Teach historical psychedelic Christianity

Goal: Put pilzbaum Deniers on notice that their args will be routinely subjected to logical-fallacies critique & analysis to figure out which logical fallacies they are committing this time

Goal: In CEQ, delete the “Grief” fake factor; restore the “Dread regarding Control” factor

Goal: Warn about non-drug “entheogens”, against entheogenic esotericism

Hanegraaff 8 years before his keynote article

what Hane wrote about non-drug entheogens and Erik Davis egged him on, I strongly disagree with Davis.

No more stealing credit from Psilo to falsely elevate alleged techniques that cannot work, don’t say “non-drug contemplation can produce same effects as high-dose Psil”.

“can” is a false binary word implying 100% efficacy, but it’s 0%. “can” is a euphemism for “doesn’t”.

Cybermonk: Hey Hane, forget about non-drug esotericism.

Hanegraaff 8 years later: Hey, good idea: e e = non-drug esotericism. Everything is an entheogen.

Erik Davis: Great idea (in comment replies to Hane probably at acad.edu).

Cybermonk: Worst idea from any academic ever.

Goal: expose of Wasson’s Duplicity, Censorship, and Bluff Pseudo-Academic “Consulting” Argument from Authority

list what he omitted / suppressed, 5 things.

Wasson and Allegro on the Tree of Knowledge as Amanita
Michael Hoffman, March 2006, Journal of Higher Criticism
http://egodeath.com/WassonEdenTree.htm
section: Panofsky Argument is Anti-Entheogen Apologetics, Lacking Compellingness
http://egodeath.com/WassonEdenTree.htm#_Toc135889217

todo: condense:

Wasson doesn’t provide any citations of published scholarly studies of ‘mushroom trees’ or ‘Pilzbaum’, where we can weigh the merit of the art historians’ confident consensus and see how or whether they’ve addressed the most-persuasive objections to their consensus view.”

Wasson doesn’t show us any citations of published scholarly studies of ‘mushroom trees’ or ‘Pilzbaum’: the result is 1-sided apologetics; within this presentation, we are only permitted to hear the opening assertions and position statement of one party in the debate, not to see how that position responds to the other side’s objections. 

Given that Wasson bandied-about this Panofsky excerpt for at least 17 years (1953-1970), and criticized Allegro for not accepting it, it’s remarkable that in Soma, the letters to the Times, or the letter to Allegro, Wasson didn’t go to the trouble of providing citations of the eminent art historians’ published studies on Pilzbaum.  These would need to be studies that convincingly show why the mushroom-and-tree interpretation is surely wrong – studies that would need to convince those who are not already convinced or too-easily convinced.  If no such compelling studies exist, Wasson is wrong to insist and assert as fact and as sound scholarly conclusion, as he does, year after year, that the mycologists’ view is a “misapprehension”, “error”, “blunder”, and “a naive misinterpretation”.

With no citations given of published, thorough studies, the result is an argument from authority.  Wasson’s unscholarly attitude and method here, toward his readers, is striking.  We’re not even supposed to wonder how exactly the art historians reached their conclusions on this highly relevant and interesting matter; we’re to mentally picture hazy, idealized, intensive scholarly research, producing unimpeachable, compelling results, and imagine the conclusions as having been tested in the fire of robust critical examination.  Either this, or we’re supposed to be impressed and compelled solely by the arguments contained in Panofsky’s letter, as though it were impossible to think of any objections to his sparse argumentation.” – mh 2006, section “Panofsky Argument is Anti-Entheogen Apologetics, Lacking Compellingness”, http://egodeath.com/WassonEdenTree.htm#_Toc135889217

Goal: Kill off the fallacious move, “Mycologists need to ‘consult’ ‘competent’ art historians”

Rule: ACADEMICS ARE REQUIRED TO PUBLISH their views on pilzbaum, else doesn’t count – ie, counts as a ruse, a bluff; dishonest, insincere, unbelievable, a put-on; bad-faith argumentation.

A coerced faith-statement/ confession, doesn’t count, compromised; conflict of interest.

Historians and art historians must follow standard academic practice: publish else you’re just bluffing and making up claims, sheer assertions.

As everyone already knows, you must provide citations along with such claims to be

OH YES WE ARE SUPER FAMILIAR WITH PILZBAUM, WE’RE ALL OVER IT – YET, WE HAVE NOTHING TO CITE?! Not surprised, sounded like BS. At least real BS grows cubensis.

Goal: Reply to McCarthy & Priest

Pair of articles about Psychedelic Christianity in 2024 Journal of Psychedelic Studies.

Goal: Deliver Eadwine’s 1200 AD transmission of branching-message mushroom trees; give voice to the pilzbaum artists

Medieval 900-1300+ AD.

Goal: Establish a Forbidden Word List

Goal: End the rehashed parroted narratives of Pop Secret Amanita Suppressed by the Big Bad Church that’s Perma Prohibitionist

Goal: Correctly assign credit for pilzbaum to Samorini, not Wasson or Allegro

Correctly assign credit for pilzbaum to Samorini 1996-1998, not to Allegro (Irvin 2008), not to Wasson (Ruck 2001, Lash maybe).

Goal: Make the field (entheogen scholarship; Psychedelic Cognitive Science) understand that we don’t know anything, cannot make premature conclusions.

Get Stamets to retract “cube – not known in Spain” and “cube grows in subtropical”. Follow the high-credibility approach of Samo’s article about Lib Cap in Italy.

Sloppy, careless, lackadaisical non-science – WHERE ARE THE RESEARCH PAPERS DEVOTED TO FINDING CUBE IN EUROPE/ENGLAND?

Everyone wants the LACK of psil in Europe.

They don’t see it because they want it to not be there. So they can stick with parroting the “everyone knows” stories, instead of bothering with finding truth.

Change to doing EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION instead of presuppositions taken as if factually established after critical inquiry.

Goal: Move Past Mysticism; provide psychedelic eternalism as alternative to vague mysticism and reductionist materialism

Trashcan “MEQ” as denatured mock-mystical, and CEQ as worse – explain what to be afraid of and the transformation targeted / taught by the Teacher of Righteousness.
Moving Past Mystical Experiencing Questionnaire 🦄🌈

Goal: Move the field (entheogen scholarship & Psychedelic Cognitive Science) forward, fully incorporating/digesting Brown 2019’s two Panofsky-to-Wasson letters

Goal: Establish that Christianity has a fully developed psilocybin tradition

Goal: Trashcan the CEQ-POS questionnaire; replace by my ECQ

Reductionism is treating topic A as if topic B, discarding the essence of topic A.

Reductionism: treating mystical experience as if political unity, discarding mystical experience.

Unity Mysticism Is Fake, Reductionist Political-Unity Agenda: the kind of esotericism Wouter Hanegraaff rejects as “perennialist religionist”: this is the religionist confabulated synthetic artificial false model of mystical experience:

perennialism is actually defined as: unity boundary lifting to create political international unity. REductionist. Get rid of real mystical experience (control model transformation), to replace that by fake “mystical experience” conceived as “boundary cessation, to cause mystical unity to cause international political unity

determinism is universally ubiquitously defined specifically as domino-chain causality. the opposite end of spectrum from eternalism.

The Spectrum of Variants from Determinism to Eternalism

  1. determinism (= domino-chain causality).
  2. superdeterminism.
  3. strong determinism (article by Chen).
  4. eternalism described by Josie Kins/ effectindex.com.
  5. all-at-once universe per Emily Adlam.
  6. eternalism per the Egodeath theory; non-branching, single future, future exists, 4D spacetime block universe eternalism PLUS/ including, the control model transformation concomitant.

I INSTANTLY noticed when read-aloud page 1 of James 1893 article The Dilemma of Determinism: he argues in terms of domino-chain causality, BUT what he is actually hating is Eternalism.

James tries to make domino-chain causality produce block-universe eternalism.

James is conflating two different models: determinism vs. eternalism.

Kyle Bromhall’s article points out the same thing, though instead of “eternalism” KB uses “logical determinism” ie article by Taggert on A series vs B series: the truth value … whether statements about the future have a truth value.

though kb takes the project in opposite direction from me (todo: specify my disagreement re big picture).

Hidden agenda of “common-core mysticism”/ “perennialism”/ “mysticism = non-boundary unity” = trojan horse for international political unity

the Egodeath theory is against the model called “common-core mysticism” and the model called “perennialism” and the model of mysticism that takes for granted that the essense of mystical experience is boundary suspension and unity” — because those are dishonest and reductionist, ultierior motive, they are incorrect and they are false pretences:

The reason why everyone says (falsely) mystical experience = unity experience, is because:

  • a stolen brief sensation of unity = beginner mystical experience.
  • the focus on unity was fake and invented by 1890 indian guru for pupose of political international unity.

Travis Kitchens wrote: “There’s the philosophy of James, Strassman says, and then there’s his theology, which was inspired by his connection with Swami Vivekananda.” — https://egodeaththeory.org/2025/04/21/idea-development-page-28/#letchers-2006-book-ruining-the-field-despite-my-high-profile-critical-book-review – todo: trace that reference, what does Strassman or Kitchens say, where, about James’ fake model “mystical experience = boundary-suspending unity” that’s reductionist trojan horse for international unity?

Like Eranos esotericism that’s co-opted for political or existential ends, discarding actual esoteric Transcendent Knowledge, per “religionism” and “perennialism” as criticized by Wouter Hanegraaff. “Traditionalism”. Cultural/political activiism abusing mystical experience theory:

Reductionism: Putting forth a non-boundary, unity model of mystical experience, for the purpose of serving a political agenda of international unity.

To accomplish political unity, we fabricated a model of mystical experience = unity, non-boundary. Trace this back to Vivekananda, James, Stace, Leary/ Pahnke, Richards, Griffiths. Highlight “unity” or “suspend boundary” in world mysticism, and omit phen’y of control transformation.

Mystical experience is control-model transformation, not non-boundary unity

10:01 am May 12, 2025 – in jan 1988 i didn’t label the bad old theory of ego transcendence vs. my good new theory. I named the new theory the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence – vs. what Ken Wilber / the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology theory? Ken Wilber says and everyone says that ego transcendence is about “unity” or “No Boundary”

Where did everyone get the false notion that mystical experience, ego transcendence, Transcendent Knowledge, satori, metaphysical revealation, psychedelic experiencing, or purification is about “unity” (boundary suspension between self vs. other) rather than about control transformation?

unity mysticism
um

Mystical experience in fact is about control transformation (per Alan Watts), not about boundary suspension unity or non-boundary unity.

EVERYONE has embraced the 1890 fake false model of mystical experience as non-boundary unity [a false front for political unity], and ignored the true model of mystical experience as control-model transformation.

Mystical experience has been reduced and replaced by political unity agenda.

To do that, accounts of mystical experience got rid of control transformation, and replaced that by a focus on non-boundary unity.

There are two competing models of mystical experience:

  • the “non-boundary unity” model of mystical experience
  • the “control transformation” model of mystical experience

the “control transformation” model of mystical experience
cxmme

control-model transformation
cmt

everyone approaches psychedelics expecting to get — per Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ) — non-boundary unity; to their surprise, what they get instead is control transformation.

whitewash and replace:

  • replace control transformation by non-boundary unity, in the model of mystical experience.
  • replace unpl chall exp by pleasant non-boundary unity (oceanic).

“oceanic” – read this cynically as trojan horse for political international unity; political unity.

oceanic mysticism” is a cover-word euphemism (trojan horse) for political unity agenda. So is “common core common-core mysticism and perennialism; the giveaway is that common-core mysticism and perennialism is always, universally defined SPECIFICALLY as non-boundary unity.

Is common-core mysticism and perennialism the case, given that mystical experience is control-model transformation? Everyone: “God no!”

Is common-core mysticism and perennialism the case, given that mystical experience is non-boundary unity? Everyone: “Yes!”

common-core mysticism and perennialism, “positive-balanced”, BOUNDARY MYSTicism = nondual unity oneness model of mysticism

That is the source of the bogus, political unity model of mystical experience, confabulated by:

  1. Indian guru 1890.
  2. Wm James 1902.
  3. Walter Stace 1960.
  4. Tim Leary & Walter Pahnke 1962.
  5. Wm Richards 1975.
  6. Roland Griffiths 2006, using Mystical Experience Questionnaire (MEQ).
  7. Hopkins group 2016, the Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ).

An Indian guru 1890 invented fake “mysticism” model, “positive-balanced”, agenda being political unity foisted as “unity experience” – that’s the origin of boundary mysticism (unitive, nondual, oneness) – fake oneness model of mystical experience, agenda = political unity.

James 1902 adopted that “political unity = spirtual unity = mystical experience = oneness” fake model of , fabricated and confabulated model of mysticism – REDUCTIONIST.

Goal: Move FORWARD productively in psychedelic eternalism , Loose Cog Sci, entheogen scholarship

Not get hung on badly argued uninformed writings of the Pop pilzbaum Deniers.

Goal: Everyone recognize and comprehend psychedelic eternalism (vs. possibilism)

(they have more trouble with Possibilism though)

Represented via {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs.

Goal: entheogen scholarship must be directed toward Repeal of Psil Prohibition

– not folk morality tales of identity formation by laboring to construct a barrier between us heretic psychedelic vs them mainstream prohibitionists for eternity 

Goal: Make entheogen scholarship retract “No Cubensis in Europe”

Excellent quote in Wasson Russia vol 2, emailed to Cyberdisciple Dec 9 2024, about the folly of centuries of denying there’s Psil use in Mexico. Mycologists switched from centuries of confident proclamation of no mushroom in Mexico – now look how that is dominant established fact to the extreme; everyone now conflates Psil with Mexico. Yet we now face the identical sitation in Europe: Experts have known forever that Europe has Amanita the “secret Amanita cult”, but that Europe lacks a Psil/ Cubensis/ Panaeolus/ Liberty Caps tradition.

1915: EVERYONE KNOWS THERE’S NO PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM IN MEXICO CULTURAL HISTORY, JUST PEYOTE. 😑

1925: EVERYONE KNOWS THERE’S NO PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM IN EUROPE CULTURAL HISTORY, JUST AMANITA. 😑

Goal: Kill the myth “Europe = Amanita, Americas = Psilocybin”

Premature false confidence in a stumbling faltering new field, entheogen scholarship.

Goal: Debunkers of Pop Secret Amanita, stop conflating that with entheogenic Christianity history

Goal: End the Amanita Primacy Fallacy in entheogen scholarship

Goal: Follow Panofsky’s Brinckmann Citation and Photostats

Brinkmann book research German:

What page # discusses development of trees from pine to mushroom imagery?

What page # says that that development was universal & widespread & gradual/ smooth?

What page # discusses corruption of prototypes?

What page # says that that gradualness of development from pine to mushroom shape proves that the artist had no purpose in making viewers think of a mushroom? … says development from pine to mushroom proves that the development is unintentional, with no purpose for the mushroom imagery?

What page # mentions branches as conflicting with the mushroom imagery?

Does Drawer W3.2, Folder 20 include two photostats of pilzbaum?

  • A 990 miniature showing the start of development from pine to mushroom.
  • A 1200s glass painting showing an emphatic mushroom crown/ cap.

https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2024/12/01/egodeath-mystery-show-ep260-debunking-psychedelic-science-oct-22-2023/

Unlike the crummy prejudiced mycologists, I actually INVESTIGATED cubensis distribution reports non-tropical, instead of ASSUMING and making sheer baseless prejudiced assertions “no cubensis in Europe”.

2003, mycologists were proved WRONG as Andy Letcher admitted in the book Shroom, in claiming “no psilocybin in Europe”.

Letcher moves the goalpost and says, ok there WAS psilocybin (specifically liberty caps, ONLY) in Europe, but there was no tradition of considering them as an altered state or religious altered state.

Letcher perpetuates the entrenched fallacy “no cubensis cow pastures outside tropical”. He needs to retract that fallacy, same as he retracts the fallacy “no presence of psilocybin mushrooms in Europe.”

I wish to upload quickly raw recording, but not enough time right now.

Kafei and Kalindi Yi and Max really really really Freakout are correct:

20 grams dried cubensis is high dose like 500 mics ergot — 5 g is NOT high-dose; fraudulent McKenna is wrong; only rank newbies think 5g is high dose.

He falsely presented himself as a 5 g user for years after he stopped all use.

5g of dried cubensis is not noticeable to advanced user using it in an active way during directed activities; it is a disco dose.

Overlooked topics

Not covered in the initial recording:

the disempowering Hopkins paradigm

Huberman YouTube video surprisingly asserts the same as remarkable Eadwine: that the essence of the psilocybin session peak is Anxiety, as the main hallmark(!), as my recent post around 2 posts ago remarking on Eadwine’s intense negativity about the cubensis experience.

~1:09:00 has another error, maybe about Lash uploading 2/5 of 1/3 of the rows in image f134 being “17%”; that’s actually 13% of the image.

__________

Addendum Oct 23 2023

Written after I recorded the 1:45:00 original recording + a short noisy-room errata recording, but am planning another recording segment about Huberman and disempowerment.

May 8, 2023

Andrew Huberman

Anxiety/ dread “of ego dissolution” at:

46:20

1:21:53

1:25:52

1:54:30

The video’s title implies a broad therapeutic approach, but the video is actually only about depression, narrowly.

I’m allied with rejecters of this Therapeutic PARADIGM, which has a narrow purpose, framing, & potential – this reductionism gets rid of psychedelic experience, and denatures it – these studies cover newbies only, 1-3 first sessions, for depression therapy only, = “the science studies/ papers”.

The therapeutic depression scientific studies” is a big-sounding presentation, but delivers actually only a tiny narrow selective attempted application, to extract a little of the experiential potential of psilocybin but reject a lot of aspects — 18/21, per CEQ’s selection of only 3 of OAV’s 21 Angst/Dread (DED) 1994 questions.

“Science” has lost credibility, due to rampant fraud, irreproducible results, the replication crisis, and highjacking of legitimation by politics 🦎.

This brand of therapy business is abusing psilocybin in a reductionistic application to depression

The therapeutic paradigm (for depression (aka CEQ’s “Grief” dimension) discards 86% of (18/21) – of psychedelic challenging (transformative) experiencing.

“scientific studies” = CEQ –> 🗑

Griffiths’ Challenging Experience Questionnaire (CEQ)

Hopkins group is trying to selectively pluck/ extract the supposedly desirable “therapy for depression” and prevent/ discard/ shut out the challenging transformative effects.

The rift in psychedelic science between mystics vs hardcore physicalists

Hopkins’ CEQ ruined the credibility of the entire endeavor / paradigm, “scientific studies”.

They try to replace diverse psychedelic lenses by a single lens, trying to pluck out depression therapy while rejecting the broader challenging reconfiguration of the mental world-model of control-in-world.

This Huberman/ Hopkins approach is an obscuring narrative overlay imposed by narrow attempted “scientific studies”.

definition of ‘high-dose’: when increasing the dose doesn’t increase the effects.

max’d out dose – there’s an odd consensus that everyone wants to increase dose more and more, as if it’s a given objective of increasing the dose to some undefined (max) dosage.

Periodic Build-up of Impurity and Pollution

Psilocybin is incredibly humbling to advanced psychonauts who built up daily habits of impurity and pollution, bringing a mundane stance of agency-power into the sacred, set-apart state of loose cognition.

The mind must emphatically switch modes, wash hands, wash the left foot, and wash the right foot, lest you bring in pollution and impure thinking, from mundane daily load-carrying as a burdened control-agent, into the throne room of God.

The kind of thinking that we practice every day, brings down kings in utter humiliation when they try to apply that same basis of control-in-world, in the loose cognition state.

Priority: Identify How Eadwine Thought

Wouter Hanegraaff’s “radical empiricism” method of studying the history of Western esotericism puts top emphasis on accurately representing and understanding what Eadwine meant; ie what does a given text mean to its author?

The first order of business in interpreting Eadwine’s images in the Great Canterbury Psalter is not “do you (as an enlightened Modernist) agree with his theology”, but rather, what did Eadwine mean?

How does Eadwine interpret his images?

My interpretation should accurately explain what Eadwine meant, and what the Medieval art genre of branching-message mushroom trees meant to its artists.

This involves 4 distinct major motifs: {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs.

The Lethargy Problem: Preparation Is Prayer and Drinks

Psilocybin sometimes produces lethargy, vs. the relative speediness of ergot.

Preparation for a session is prayer, purification, hands-washing, foot washing, & repudiation of a kind of initiative because instead, the god or snake brings the sage and sacrament together; the sage doesn’t own that initiative.

Prayer, repudiation of initiative/ steering, and cleansing of the pollution of hubris, is not the only required preparation.

Someone who is subject to intense psilocybin lethargy could make it a prep-prerequisite to prepare an ample supply of drinks: fruit juice, taurine, tea, iced tea, cold coffee, coffee pods, drinkable yogurt, kefir, nutrition drinks.

Accurate Description of Eadwine’s Message

I have been reading about psilocybin so I can check, improve, & align my explanatory model of mental model transformation dynamics, as reported & described by Eadwine, checking this explanation with the actual experienced effects.

Is Eadwine’s explanation of cube dynamics correct?

Does Eadwine’s explanation of the end-state match my model in the branching-message mushroom trees article?

{crown} motif

{affirmed by God} motif

Eadwine’s {bed}, falling down, & lying down motifs partly are used to describe the intense lethargy from psilocybin.

The lethargy from some such plants (woodrose; LSA) can be stronger than the cognitive experiential effects (shifting vision; psychotic mental colors).

The result is natural, organic breath-focus & meditation. Psilocybin sometimes produces meditation thought-watching, and a focus on breathing.

Reconciling with insane color psychotic vulnerability down THAT path, intense nearby presence of vulnerability/ threatened = enlightened; THE meaning of {fear of God}.

The familiar, intimate bride-chamber: right over there, in that direction of thinking is, being overpowered and enlightened about the shape of control-in-world.

At first, resistance to the threat encroaching from the alien god (king Pentheus vs. Dionysus andro-gyne; Hermes-Aphrodite), and then the female thought-receiver gives in and comprehends the higher power source of control-thoughts (male thought-inserter), producing a new conception of controller-in-world.

This awareness of threat and vulnerability gives birth to the adult form: a demigod immortal; non-dying, no longer subject to resisting and battling one’s own thinking.

enlightenment = near fear; thorough, psychotically nonchalant familiarity with being an inch away from panic terror seizure.

Current Work at Top of Canterbury Commentary Page: Per-Row Hi-Res Crops

The library site is down often: Great Canterbury Psalter. I snagged per-row hi-res captures yesterday, July 5, 2023.

Where I have been working, in this site: the Great Canterbury Psalter gallery Commentary page:

url https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/06/11/eadwine-images-in-great-canterbury-psalter-commentary-interpretation/

top of page — I added per-row crops for the first 8 pages; 8 pages x 4 rows/page = 32 1-row crops.

Categorizing Motifs into the 4 Main Motifs

The past couple weeks, I discovered many mushroom motifs, and big 4 motif categories bolstering my interpretation — a mapping of motifs in this art genre (branching-message mushroom trees in Medieval art) to my direct explanatory model of how the mind transforms by loose cognition, per the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism.

Eadwine’s entire set of images in Great Canterbury Psalter must be treated as a coherent systemic whole.

Same as the Golden Munich Psalter.

Reliable interpretation requires considering the entire genre of medieval art: branching-message mushroom trees; ie the loose, selective, creative, freewheeling, & inventive combination of 4 main broad motifs: {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} motifs.

In Great Canterbury Psalter by studying the entire set of Eadwine images, I found:

tables with caps & stems (mushroom)

donkey carrying a bag of blue circles (mushroom)

Liberty Cap jars (mushroom)

finger shapes (branching)

roof toppers (mushroom)

crowns/ kings

threats from all directions (stability)

Current Work at Bottom of Canterbury Commentary Page

I have also been working in the bottom of that Canterbury Commentary page.

arranging an outline of various specific motifs into 4 specialized groups: {mushrooms}, {branching}, {handedness}, and {stability} – those are the broad, master motifs.

That is not the familiar exercise grouping motifs into the Theory’s 4 quadrants (analogical, psychedelic, eternalism, cybernetics).

The Psilocybin Therapy paradigm is a dead end: that approach always amounts to “process your retrieved personal traumas.” But that’s NOT what transcendent fear terror is about.

Transcendent terror is due to the inherent nature of the immature mental worldmodel of {control agent steering in branching world}.

{king steering in tree}, fighting desperately against the inside threat, which is the mind’s uncontrollable source of control thoughts.

The higher, uncontrollable controller (puppetmaster) and {snake frozen in rock}, and overpowering deja vu, conspire from multiple directions to demand you willingly give away control, it seems.

It’s a really strange experience, wishing to relax and enjoy but feeling that you’d have to crazily let go of control.

From a certain perspective, you let go of control by, rather, comprehending the actual, 2-level nature of control-in-world:

you as a local autonomous control agent, are replaced by a corrected, more accurate model of control and possibility-steering, that claims far less power, that divides your power such that power of steering sits on a level above the local control agent.

The mind is taught to be constantly, intensely aware of profound dependence & vulnerability in every act and mental construct always, every day.

From the God-level point of view, “giving away” control from oneself as an autonomous monolithic agent to a higher level control-source was always a done deal forever.

The local, subjective control agent never actually was a monolithic, autonomous initiator of acts of will.

In loose cognition, mature thinking (the mature experiential mode) is trained and taught stoic, calm non-reactivity to the intense threat posed by its own source of thinking/ willing.

Become psychotically nonchalant about your nearby control mayhem potential — that’s just how things are, matter-of-fact accommodate this crazy revelation.

In the Great Canterbury Psalter, Eadwine communicates this relationship, attitude, & stance toward your own source of thoughts.

The psychedelic podcasts report high-dose humbling, especially of the most experienced people.

Psychedelic & Consciousness Research

The Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research emphasizes:

higher dose = more challenging.

Punk wedding-band musician Frederick Barrett is taking over that Center as Director, for Roland Griffiths.

Barrett contributed to the Stacean MEQ-POS psychedelic effects questionnaire, based on the wildly lopsided “mystical experiencing” model from Walter Stace 1960 and Wm James 1902.

To balance that lopsided instrument, Barrett also contributed to the CEQ-POS psychedelic effects questionnaire, which eliminated Anxious Dread (DED) effects by deleting them.

When you suffer psychedelic terror, we recommend that you REPRESS and SUPPRESS the shadow dragon monster, for the sake of safety, so that psychedelics research can continue.

The Nature of this Episode Content

Talking through all of the Eadwine images in Great Canterbury Psalter was an excellent exercise for me and a major milestone to force me to look at all aspects of all of the images.

The degree of certainty and coherent integrity of interpretation requires knowing all places where a variant of a given mytheme is presented.

eg know where the most explicit mushroom toppers are on the peaks of building roofs, so that inferior instances can be identified by knowing the most ideal instances.

Intro Topics for the Tour

0:00 – Short Egodeath Mystery Show Intro. (no date)

0:21 – 9 groups of Eadwine images. 8 pages of 3×4 panels, first. After that, images that are about 40% of the page, and have 1-3 rows. Plan a speed run of talking through each image (but I did full details on every image instead).

I’ll skip the 8 full-page 3×4 grids until the end to not get stuck on them like everyone. I’ll start with Group 1 of image scenes (f20-f193).

8 Ranges of f## urls: 1-25-50-70-100-125-150-175-200.

I began — fortunately — with a lot more general analysis (53 minutes), before finally hitting/ talking through the specific images (f20) in order. What topics does the Intro segment cover, from 0:00 to 53:00?

10:00 – The more you identify the definite mapping of handedness to possibilism-thinking vs. eternalism-thinking, the more exceptions and “play” you find. Eadwine tries to confound and prevent a superstitious worship of “right” and demonizing “left”.

20:00 – Moses mirrors/ reverses the finger-shapes of God in burning bush
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/16/branching-message-mushroom-trees-psychedelic-eternalism-depicted-in-medieval-art-as-branching-mushrooms-handedness-and-non-branching/#Burning-Bush-Borch

30:00 – I had oversimplistic idea that a given tree was “good” or “bad”, way too statically. Requires fractal scope analysis. This genre of art has sophisticated use of branching morph’y & flexible use of {handedness}.

40:00 – the eternally existing block universe with pre-existing control thoughts. Genesis 3 vs. Rev 22:14, “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.” (NIV)

Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

Revelation 22:14 (NIV)

50:00 – turmoil when you summon all your control power to battle against your own thinking treated as a Dionysus invading alien outside higher control power. Your thinking becomes treated/ experienced/ related to as a fatal threat against your control power.

52:34 – Defined 8 groups of image scenes. f1-25, f25-50, etc.

52:44 – GROUP 1: Image Scenes 1: 3 images: f20 f22 f25.

f20 – 53:02 in Part A: Dancing, Mushroom River, Hell-Mouth Furnace Demon with Angel Wings

53:02 – f20. THE WALKTHROUGH STARTS HERE. https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/06/07/eadwine-images-great-canterbury-psalter-catalog-gallery/#f20

55:00 Proof that mushroom hems mean mushrooms.

Gold Clip

57:00 — hell flames experience while you hold childish view. aka workaday mundane tightcog agency-steering model. You as controller are battling against your own thinking.

58:49 — “he has lost control of his thinking”

1:00:00 – Battling your source of thinking = flames, turmoil, instability.

Caught in a net, tormented in flames, sages pulled upside down into flame pit/mouth by angels / demons.

When you enter loosecog in an IMPURE way b/c your bring mundane possibilism-thinking into the alt state.

Wrath-invoking {pollution, impurity} = asserting the mind’s usual possibilism-thinking while in alt state.

Need to coordinate asserting/ relying on Left and Right foot; possibilism-thinking + eternalism-thinking.

f22 – 1:07:10 in Part A: Mushroom Mount

1:07:10 – f22 https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/06/07/eadwine-images-great-canterbury-psalter-catalog-gallery/#f22

1:09:04 – I proved yesterday, today is June 18, 2023. June 17, proved he in left of f22 is pointing at the cut right trunk of the tree above him.

1:10:00 – IY of leftmost guy’s hand & the other blue guy’s hand matches IY of mushroom tree to right (tree 2).

1:11:00 — mushroom trees morph’y, YI vs IY instances. WTF is the green strange container in middle?

f25 – 1:15:05 in Part A: Absalom Hung from a Tree

1:15:05 – f25. https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/06/07/eadwine-images-great-canterbury-psalter-catalog-gallery/#f25

1:19:24 – sage in bed on white cloth/sheet. 4 lifted garments. He is held up by left hand of angel.

1:20:00 – He is held up by left hand of angel, left much higher than right.

Group 2 of Image Scenes (range 25-50)

f27 – 1:20:54 in Part A: God with Sun, Moon, and Red Rays Lifts King from Ossuary

1:20:54 – f27
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/06/07/eadwine-images-great-canterbury-psalter-catalog-gallery/#f27

1:23:00 – discussion of X, left vs right foot usage.

f29 – 1:25:06 in Part A: Buildings Licking Sky, Demon Flees Ossuary

url https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/06/07/eadwine-images-great-canterbury-psalter-catalog-gallery/#f32

1:28:49 – f32

1:30:00 – instead of brown garment full body, it’s now blue, and brown is a layer over that. inner vs outer, which layer of garment is possibilism-thinking, vs eternalism-thinking? Trying to shield eyes from open scroll; afraid to lose control over their own thinking.

f34 – 1:31:13 in Part A: No Left Arm at Liberty Cap and Axe, Nursing Three

1:31:13- f34

url https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/06/07/eadwine-images-great-canterbury-psalter-catalog-gallery/#f34

f38 – 1:34:46 in Part A: Birds Swooping from Mushroom Tree

1:34:46 – f38 https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/06/07/eadwine-images-great-canterbury-psalter-catalog-gallery/#f38

f40 – 1:38:30 in Part A: Lion Furnace, God Holds {balance scale}

1:38:30 – f40 https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/06/07/eadwine-images-great-canterbury-psalter-catalog-gallery/#f40

1:40:00 – left = good = non-branching here.

1:45:00 – During this pass, I think I missed left tree’s right-hand affirmed branch is the one branch that reaches/touches God’s blue cloud. similar to f177 row 1 left (the tan-stem cubensis tree with offset right branch & horses). As often happens, this talk-through prepared me to recognize that morphology / path in my next pass of looking at this picture.

1:46:00 – this tree proves Erwin Panofsky is 180 degress opposite of truth: artists are obliged to be creative, especially with msh trees.

14719 – five cut branches. fail to say the scroll-approved rightmost branch is the only one to reach God’s blue cloud? These observations about cuts visual cuts, prepped me to, upon next view, trace the rigthtmost branch up to the blue cloud.

1:48:30 spoke instead of image f177’s tree. and of leaf trees being imortant. and lifted garment. so many details to point out.

f47 – 1:49:48 in Part A: Demolitioning Building, King Holds {balance scale}

1:49:48 – f47 https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/06/07/eadwine-images-great-canterbury-psalter-catalog-gallery/#f47

1:50:00 – Moeiro site claims this is a “temple” being demolitioned. But it has no entryway! no doors. Exposed bricks in place of doorway.

1:53:30 – lower right guys cowering from flames raining down on them. Explained the experience. Autonomous control agent, thinking is shaped as if you (current local control agent) are your own source of thoughts, a closed system. your own thinking
closed building with no door.

1:55:00 – Empty left sleeve.

1:55:45 – Errata: ding.

f49 – 1:57:37 in Part A: Wheels, Forge
