Unpublished MS. But I might publish it as Academia.edu, for a couple reasons: I want to see my 1988 wording of the Core theory. I need a standard way to represent that the Egodeath theory was formulated in 1988, without belaboring the point in a way that’s hard to follow and gets lost in minutia of historical development.
People need dates for the development of the Egodeath theory, and article dates are especially useful, even if an unpublished MS. This MS’s year, August 1988, is same as important date Jan. 1988 when the Egodeath theory was formed. Started 1985. Need a citation that represents and indicates that the Egodeath theory was formed in 1988.
History of Development of the Egodeath theory in Terms of Main-Article Years

1997: The Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence (Self-Control Cybernetics, Dissociative Cognition, & Mystic Ego Death (core theory spec)
2007: The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death (2007 main article, adds myth but not branching-message mushroom trees/ handedness)

Notes
bubble is first pub’d article but is more an adjunct to the 1988 draft/ 1997 spec.
My 2006 Fresco article is a SIDESHOW footnote, albeit formal and exhaustive and a major milestone. Its message is: Fresco/Wasson/Allegro = irrelevant dead end. The Egodeath theory is on-track, relevant.
My 2020 article on Eadwine is too incomplete, lacks theory of branching-message mushroom trees, which is finalized April 2023 (now). Good news: I realized I have a Nov 19 2020 untouched 1st Edition frozen snapshot of the article as well as my updated, potential 2nd edition (wide page format).
I definitely recommend the color version, not the b/w. It’s a solid book by any measure and it essential for the field. Pairs with God’s Flesh (Europe vs. Americas).
Blurb, by John Rush:
“Christianity and the Piltdown Hoax (one of the largest academic scandals in history) share many similarities:
“In both stories, the information was constructed and then salted into the information stream, and, through the word of noted scholars, presented as fact, the truth.
“Scholars have egos and once committed to their ideas through scholarly publications, faculty meetings, and conferences, have difficulty seeing, hearing, or even appreciating an adverse view.
“To waver from a strongly held opinion could spell academic ruin and withdrawal of acclaim.
“This leads to lively debate, counter stories, and even character assassination if one side or the other is being out trumped in the symbolic mêlée.
“Jan Irvin has captured what we might call an “anthropology of clarification” regarding whether or not mushrooms, and mind-altering substances in general, played any role in the development of not only Judaism and Christianity but the total culture in play at that time.
“It is now recognized in many academic communities (anthropologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, psychologists) that sufficient evidence exists of the importance of these substances, both textual and visual, to say “yes” in very large letters.
“It is no longer theory.
“The questions Irvin asks are these:
“If mind-altering substances did play this major role, then how would this affect our interpretations of the Bible and the Qur’an?
“Would this shed light on the origins of mystical experiences and the stories, for example Abraham hearing voices and Ezekiel’s convenient visions?
“What would this suggest about the shamanic behavior of Jesus?
“What impact would this have on organized religion?”
“These are bold questions.
“This is a very useful volume for those interested in the Holy Mushroom and the politics of truth.
“Detailed and wonderfully illustrated; great bibliography.”
“~ Professor John A. Rush, Sierra College”
Rush’s 2022 book 2nd Edition ignores Irvin’s 2008 call to abandon the “Secret Heretical Sect” stingy restrictive premise.
The Secret Amanita Heretical Sect/Cult theory, which Irvin repeatedly calls to reject, has a huge conflict of interest: that narrative commitment strives to perpetuate Prohibition of psilocybin to save the Narrative of Defeat, that’s the #1 mission and objective of entheogen scholars.
‘Entheogens’ Means Amanita Exclusively: Un-believable: Irvin Announces Commentary on “All Entheogen Citations”, then Suddenly Switches to Exclusively Covering Amanita
April 24, 2023
This confusion (inadvertent and improper, covert/deceptive rhetoric that’s not on the up-and-up) is why the infinitely vague umbrella terms “entheogen” and “mushroom” are on the Forbidden Word List.
I have 4 page photos, marked up, for scholarly purposes, because it is hard to accurately describe the situation, really the only possible way to convey for scholarly discussion is to share and discuss the page photos. You have to see the surrounding context of the rhetorical moves.
If you jerk the scope all over the place like this, you need to justify doing so. Irvin flips the football field around to “shift” the goalposts, and does not acknowledge that he’s just radically redefined whether the scope is:
“Amanita“
“entheogens” (by which Irvin sometimes means “any plant”, and sometimes means “Amanita only”)
“mushrooms” (meaning Amanita and Psilocybin).
The more that Irvin employs vague umbrella wildcard terms “entheogens” and “mushrooms”, the more Wasson-type dirty tricks Irvin does, cheap stage magician trying to get away with treating psilocybin as irrelevant and of no interest (“not important for our study” (p. 31-32 twice), “not important for our discussion” (p. 49 twice), “not critical to our discussion” (p. 59)).
— and then when it serves his god Amanita, then he abuses psilocybin to pretend that Griffiths’ psilocybin research proves that Amanita causes mystic experience, and falsely claims on p. 107 that psilocybin is “in discussion”, when he explicitly wrote FIVE TIMES that psilocybin is “not important/critical for our discussion/study”.
Either psilocybin is IN discussion, or is NOT in discussion.
Make up your damn mind; this is failed theorizing.
If you change the scope, you have to state that you are, and why you are, and if you again change, ditto.
Irvin 2008 keeps flipping the scope willy-nilly, uncontrolled, confused and confusing – bunk, garbled theory results.
This is not The Way of STEM.
Irvin’s 2008 Book The Holy Mushroom Tries to Force Blue Cap to Be Red Hue and Irvin 2009 SMC Doesn’t Correct Ruck’s Assertion that It’s Red
Irvin 2008 The Holy Mushroom misrepresents the image as extremely red-shifted.
Irvin 2009 doesn’t correct Ruck in Fungus Redivivus appendix of Sacred Mushroom & The Cross when Ruck says about this image: “One example alone should suffice to silence the art historians … a typical mushroom-tree beside him. The mushroom has a red cap spotted with white“
Article: Wasson and Allegro on the Tree of Knowledge as Amanita (Hoffman 2006)
The Holy Mushroom is a good book, an essential must-have for everyone in the field of entheogen scholarship. The book is the authority on Wasson vs. Allegro, and it builds on my excellent 2006 Fresco article that includes Irvin’s research. The book is the opposite of how Hatsis misreads and misrepresents.
Every entheogen historian needs to read this book, to see how the field has been distorted and prematurely limited by too much uncritical respect for Wasson.
The strange case of Wasson and Allegro is inherently interesting, and I expect the casual reader of entheogen history to find this investigation and correction every bit as interesting as I did ever since I began investigating and unravelling what exactly Wasson wrote.
—
Why should anyone care about some esoteric nitpicks about what Allegro and Wasson wrote?
This is the most interesting subject, because the history of this scholarship shows how entheogen scholarship has gone dreadfully wrong in the past, and how we need to fact-check every statement and assumption by even the most renowned scholars such as Wasson, and Allegro, and I now add T. McKenna.
—
The most important subject in the world is the question of to what extent were visionary plants used throughout Christian history.
This book provides the right kind of evidence and argumentation to reverse the refusal to countenance that question, a refusal for which the exagerratedly venerated hero Wasson is largely to blame.
There is a great abundance of evidence in support of the maximal entheogen theory of Christian history, which can be readily seen if one ignores Wasson’s efforts to stymie the investigation.
Examining the entire issue of use of all visionary plants in all religions in all eras, including all forms of evidence, it is now a certainty that Christianity has centrally incorporated visionary plants all throughout Christian history — the question is no longer “did Christians use entheogens?”; the question has become “to what extent did Christians use entheogens?”
—
Irvin and I worked up many of these ideas together.
What a time of revolutionary revision that has been, because what a cesspool of shoddy, flimsy argumentation, a travesty of scholarship, the whole Plaincourault issue has been.
Plaincourault served as a proxy issue:
Per Wasson’s strategy of suppression, if Plaincourault isn’t a mushroom, then we must not permit the question of the extent of visionary plant use in Christian history; per Allegro’s side (which Allegro didn’t take nearly far enough), if Plaincourault is a mushroom, then we must hasten to open that question wide up: just exactly how many Christians have ever used visionary plants as the Eucharist?
Quite a few, it is clear from a coherent interpretation of the texts and iconography (there are countless pictures of mushrooms in Christian art, and many yet to be photographed and documented).
—
My systematic theory, published online and already announced to a wide variety of scholars in email, is that Christianity began not in themes from Egypt as Irvin and Acharya S would have it, but rather, first and foremost, as a counter-propaganda rebuttal to Roman Imperial theology.
Roman imperial theology utilized the era’s ubiquitous use of visionary plants such as in mystery initiation and symposium “drinking” parties, to prop up and justify Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar’s violent, crucifying system of empire.
—
In rebuttal, Christianity was created and became popular by utilizing anti-Roman, Jewish-styled themes, fabricating a counter-Caesar figure of Jesus.
The origin of Christianity has two main parts: the use of visionary plants (which was utterly normal and ubiquitous in late antiquity), utilized for the purpose of not only individual spiritual enlightenment as Irvin would have it, but even more for the purpose of erecting an alternate, egalitarian, social-political support network, using a Jewish-like synagogue network that was separate from the official culture’s honor-and-shame hierarchy.
—
The first centuries of Christians were all about using the plant-induced altered state to support an alternate social-political system, against the Roman Empire’s use of visionary plants to prop up Caesar’s honor-and-shame hierarchy system.
This political motive for visionary plant use, which is my original research published online, is missing from Irvin’s work — he only has the visionary plants themselves, and connections to Egypt instead of the more relevant connections to the overall culture of the Roman Empire such as ruler cult.
—
I look forward to more books by Jan Irvin, Prof. Rush, and Carl Ruck blowing open the world’s most important field of investigation, and the world’s most suppressed and oft-evaded question: to what exact extent were visionary plants utilized throughout Christian history?
First we need to quit the blinding dogmatic emotional attitude of T. McKenna and other entheogen historians that Christianity was evil and therefore cannot be countenanced to have centrally incorporated entheogens.
It doesn’t matter how evil Christianity was, the evidence must be permitted to speak for itself, that Christianity has always incorporated visionary plants to a substantial and central extent.
/ end of my 2008 review of The Holy Mushroom
Wasson Sort of Asserted No Mushroom After Genesis 3
Update p.m. April 12, 2023: As I predicted probably during one of these recordings, I found better than hoped:
Irvin claims on p. 4 that Wasson reject it in Ezekiel, Revelation, and later Christian practice.”
The extent that Wasson covers Amanita in Judeo-Christianity is to afffirm its use in Genesis but reject it in Ezekiel, Revelation, and later Christian practice.
Irvin p4 The Holy Mushroom
I disproved the latter half of the sentence, the assertion by Irvin; it is too definite/active.
I said in the recording “I bet the book contains no quote from Wasson saying no Fly Agaric after Genesis 3.”
And I reasoned “If Wasson wrote that, Irvin would include it. I predict no such quote in Irvin’s book; therefore (given that Irvin is thorough), Wasson definitely DID NOT WRITE the assertion that Irvin attributes to him as if Wasson definitely published such a negative assertion.
In fact, Wasson never wrote “There was no Fly-Agaric in Judeo-Christianity after Genesis 3.”
Irvin prevaricates, is squishy: sometimes he paints a picture of Wasson definitely rejecting all mushroom trees as mushrooms. Sometimes he implies Wasson didn’t state anything beyond Gen3.
“Wasson never admitted anywhere … that mushroom trees were understood and recognized through the time that Revelation was written.”
Mushroom trees were understood in 1000 (or 500) BC (Genesis) and 100 AD (Revelation) and 1000 AD (Medieval art).
Conflation about “the mushroom” page 152: “Griffiths 2006 gives evidence that the holy mushroom produces mystical experiencing.” (paraphrase)
Irvin states that “the holy mushroom” = Amanita, then claims Griffiths proves “the holy mushroom” gives X effects – but, Psilocybin effects != Amanita effects.
Irvin Calls for Rejecting and Abandoning the “Secret Heretical Sect” Premise/Paradigm
Hatsis Totally Misrepresents Irvin, and Tries to Steal Irvin’s Call
Interesting, page 150 IRVIN GOES AGAINST ALLEGRO (hell freezes over): “Therefore, I submit, against what Allegro and others[sic] scholars have argued, that this was not a “mushroom cult” of the “fringe heretical sects” at all.
Therefore, I submit, against what Allegro and others[sic] scholars have argued, that this was not a “mushroom cult” of the “fringe heretical sects” at all.
I propose that the holy mushroom had a widespread and integrated role not only in Greek Orthodox Christianity, but, as the spread of iconography across Europe shows, as a fundamental part of the origins and history of Christianity as a whole.”
Irvin, p. 150, The Holy Mushroom
vague: “the holy mushroom” = Amanita? Psilocybin?
Emphasis on ‘against‘ is in the original(!)
Irvin goes against Allegro for being TOO RESTRICTIVE; Irvin moves away from the “Secret Cult” paradigm, proving that HATSIS STRAWMANS AND MISREPS IRVIN AND ATTRIBUTES RUCK’S VIEW TO IRVIN.
Hatsis lifts (steals) Irvin’s call to move away from the “secret heretical cult” paradigm, and then (as badly as Wasson is flipped 180 degrees by Ruck),
Hatsis accuses Irvin of being a Secret Christian Amanita Cult theorist, when in fact, Irvin 2008 The Holy Mushroom makes the case AGAINST the “secret heretical cult” presupposition/premise/ habit of thought.
Citations: p. 5, 103, 104, 150, proves Hatsis is full of shiite!
Irvin repeatedly calls for normalcy, not abnormalcy / secrecy — in articulate fashion, then Hatsis, who evidently CAN’T READ, falsely attributes the very opposite view to Irvin, specifically re: the book The Holy Mushroom.
Hatsis the thiefSTEALS Irvin’s critique and falsely misrepresents Irvin as asserting the opposite of what Irvin asserts and calls for.
— just like Ruck says “poor Wasson 😢 asserted his realization of mushroom trees means mushroom, but the mean, biased obstructionists rejected Wasson’s assertions.” — the 180-degrees EXACT OPPOSITE of the truth! Thanks a fkking lot, Carl Amanita Promoter Ruck.
Today I got something better than hoped for: Irvin saved me trouble of reading THM.
Irvin himself explicitly, pointedly states p. 100 (contradicting p. 4):
Beyond the Genesis story, no statement exists giving any clear indication as to what extent Wasson further believed mushrooms existed in the Bible.
Irvin, p. 100, THM
So:
Irvin:
“Wasson rejected Amanita in Ezekiel, Revelation, and later Christian practice.” [citation needed!] and: “all of Wasson’s arguments against … the use of mushrooms beyond 1000 BC in Judeo-Christianity.” [citation needed!]
Also Irvin:
“Beyond the Genesis story, no statement exists giving any clear indication as to what extent Wasson further believed mushrooms existed in the Bible.”
Irvin’s Conflation of Neutral/Silent vs. Negative, Conflates Negative re: Fresco with Negative re: Later than Genesis 3
Irvin conflates “Wasson makes no position statement re: Fly-Agaric after Gen3” with “Wasson states the absence of Fly-Agaric after Gen3.”
Errata for My 2006 Analysis: 1952, not 1969 (nor 1986)
The p. 100 paragraph starts with my name. In The Holy Mushroom on p. 102, I wrote that Wasson wrote the Pers. Quest passage in 1969.
I corrected my 2006 analysis yesterday: clearly Wasson must have written the PQ passage (published in 1986) no later than he wrote about Genesis and fresco: in 1952 – not 1969.
con’t:
Similarly, just as I couldn’t prove with 1 quote that Brown asserts “tapestry isn’t entheogen”, to my surprise, I couldn’t prove either of these assertions, which would surprise Irvin who probably THOUGHT he declared an extreme explicit position:
Irvin 2008 writes “Eucharist/Logos = mushroom”. No one sentence states that, surprisingly. THM lacks the word “entheogen”. The book doesn’t omit Psilocybin; there are index entries.
Irvin 2022 writes “Eucharist/Logos = ‘mushroom”. No one sentence states that, surprisingly.
But I believe the surprising thing is not merely the lack of such a direct “smoking gun” re: Brown or Irvin — but rather, THIS IS HOW EVERYONE WRITES: ROUNDABOUT MEALY MOUTHED especially in this taboo-driven fields.
You get all the impression that Irvin 2008 says Eucharist = mushroom, and also Irvin 2022 says Eucharist = not mushroom. But you can’t PROVE either assertion is made by Irvin – I think this lack of clear, direct position statements would surprise Irvin.
I think that Irvin understood himself to be asserting “Eucharist = mushroom” in 2008, and to be asserting “Eucharist = not mushroom” in 2022, but interestingly, you can’t simply prove either statement;
You can’t simply prove Irvin 2008 wrote “Eucharist = mushroom”.
You can’t simply prove Irvin 2022 wrote “Eucharist = not mushroom”.
So, conclusion: you must write plainly and directly! p. 104, Irvin criticizes “Ruck and Gonzalez refuse to state emphatically that Christianity has a direct basis in entheogens.” Irvin himself never states directly in THM the firm positive assertion, and likewise, Irvin 2022 never states directly the firm negative position. I really want to write:
Irvin directly contradicts himself 2008 vs 2022:
Irvin 2008 states “Eucharist is mushrooms”, but Irvin 2022 states “Eucharist is not mushrooms”. Alas, Irvin like everyone, writes in a roundabout, indirect way. Granted, he does write, “Christianity has a direct basis in entheogens.” That falls short of being the extreme opposite of what Irvin 2022 writes in God’s Flesh, where he APPEARS to write “Eucharist is not mushrooms.”
I suspect Irvin THINKS he clearly wrote in 2008 “Eucharist is mushrooms”.
I suspect Irvin THINKS he clearly wrote in 2022 “Eucharist is not mushrooms”.
If he did, it would be easy for me to quote Irvin 2022 as DIRECTLY asserting the EXACT OPPOSITE of Irvin 2008.
Anyway it’s my job, not Irvin’s, to reconcile the noises of Irvin 2008 with the noises of Irvin 2022:
As used in Europe, Eucharist = Psilocybin eg Golden Teacher Cubensis. As used in Americas, Eucharist != Psilocybin; there is no Eucharist.
“The Holy Mushroom” Is Thoroughly Entrenched in the Amanita Primacy Fallacy — as if we could Remove “Secret” and “Heretical Sects/Cult”, but Keep the Monofocus on Amanita
The Whole Way Entheogen Scholarship Has Been Approached Is Completely Wrong and Self-Defeating/ Counterproductive!
THE HOLY MUSHROOM = SECRET FLY-AGARIC 🍄 HERETICAL SECTS
“The Holy Mushroom” (as Book Title and Concept) Remains Thoroughly, Hopelessly Entrenched in the Amanita Primacy Fallacy
The Amanita Primary Fallacy is Actually “Secret Amanita Counterculture Heretical Deviant Sect Group Cult Fertility Ritual” Paradigm/Narrative, an ENTIRE worldview/paradigm/ approach / mindset / presupposition-set/ package deal
Hatsis wrote “these lesser-looking mushrooms”, regarding psilocybin-based mushroom trees. Proves that the assumed (presupposed) reference point is THE GREAT KING, ALL DOMINANT, ALL IMPORTANT, *THE* MUSHROOM = THE SACRED MUSHROOM = THE FLY-AGARIC = KIDDIE AMANITA 🙌 🍄
Hatsis video titled “Proof of no mushrooms in Christianity”, content of the video is only about Amanita. Hard conflation of Amanita vs. “the mushroom”.
book THM: Gallery begins with 9 photos of Amanita and only, after that, 6 photos of Psilcybin.
book THM: Gallery begins with the fly agaric fresco. (are you unsure which fresco I mean? Alas no, you know all too well which one I mean)
book THM: Foreward by Judith Brown positively HAMMERS the reader with rank conflation of “the mushroom; Amanita”. And “fertility cultic ritual = divine knowledge”
book THM gallery: Dancing man salamander image is grotesquely color-skewed in a desperate attempt to make the blue cap red.
book THM gallery: Strong preference for Amanita, even with Psilocybin mushroom trees.
Samorini Figure 20 attempts to use the fly agaric fresco as a paradigm that enwraps even psilocybin mushroom trees as well ie “the Saint Sauvin tree type” in relation to “the Plaincourault tree type”. https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/mushroom-trees-in-christian-art-samorini/#Figure-20 – “we have discovered a precise typological differentiation among mushroom-trees in Christian art which corresponds with the variation in naturally occurring psychoactive mushrooms” – BALONEY! You can’t even find 3 examples! None of the Golden or Canterbury psalter’s mushroom morphology fits this failed, ham-fisted classification attempt that’s based on the worst possible foundation, the Fly-Agaric Fresco.

“why I’m opposed to the idea of suppression of psychedelics in pre-modernity.
“Some of the below can be found in my reply to her comment, but I’ve also expanded some below.”
“Most entheogen scholars treat the topic of suppression in pre-modernity as if the suppressors themselves were sober and wanted to suppress the altered state entirely.
“I think that this attitude transposes the rhetoric of modern Prohibition and War on Drugs into a pre-modern context.
“The attitude shapes research, by shaping the sorts of questions the researcher allows themselves to ask.
“Many researchers automatically assume that some authority (usually the Roman Empire or the Catholic Church) was opposed to the altered state entirely and sought to suppress psychedelics.
“The researchers who think this way treat their research as telling a story about suppression.
“Their story becomes one-sided.
“They do not think to look for evidence in the mainstream Roman Empire society or the mainstream Middle Ages or the mainstream Renaissance.
“Any evidence they find in those contexts automatically becomes a sign of an oppressed group or a fringe survival or a secretive elite.
As a matter of research assumptions I do not assume that there was suppression of drugs.
“I am interested in looking for evidence more broadly than most researchers.
I find that many entheogen scholars are committed to demonizing the mainstream of past societies.
“I think that they have internalized the rhetoric of modern Prohibition, War on Drugs, and the counter-culture, and project that idea onto the past, consciously or unconsciously.
“Because the entheogen scholars understand drugs to be counter-cultural today, they think that they were counter-cultural in the past.
I’m interested in the question: “what does it mean for drugs to be a part of mainstream culture?”
“I’m not interested in trying to find a drug counter-culture that just so happens to mirror 20th century counter-culture.
Many entheogen scholars seems to be interested in finding a drug counter-culture in pre-modernity.”

Secret Christian Amanita Cult Theorists Are Inherently Supporters of Psilocybin Prohibition
The “Secret Amanita” paradigm vs. the “Psilocybin Eucharist” paradigm: Way Bigger Difference than Merely the Amanita Primacy Fallacy.
The Secret Amanita Paradigm is the Cause of Prohibition and Has a Total Conflict of Interest Against Repeal of Psilocybin Prohibition
Theirs is a package deal: they assert Secret AND Amanita AND Heretical Sect. They are committed to asserting and upholding the status quo false notion and historical falsehood and lie, that non-heretical Christianity lacks a mushroom tradition.
Secret Amanita Cult asserters’ functional #1 objective and strategy is to uphold Psilocybin Prohibition.
THEIR STRATEGY AND MISSION-OBJECTIVE FOR PSILOCYBIN DRUG POLICY REFORM IS TO KEEP PROHIBITION IN PLACE – this is the top commitment and investment of entheogen scholars who assert Secret Christian Amanita Cult.
What has any Secret Christian Amanita Cult theorist ever done toward Psilocybin repeal? Nothing, ever!
It’s Because They’re Compromised, Prohibition-Compliant, THEY ARE PARASITES that take advantage of Psilocybin Prohibition to Morally Elevate Themselves by Framing Non-Heretical Christianity as “Lacking a Tradition of religious use of Psychoactive Mushrooms”
They don’t care about Psilocybin, and they need Prohibition to remain in place, this is crucial for their moral narrative!
Every entheogen scholar insists and demands that Christianity (legit, non-heretical Christianity that aligns with the Establishment) must not be allowed to contain The Mushroom (picture kiddie Amanita 🤫🍄 😲 )
NEVER TRUST AN ENTHEOGEN SCHOLAR — especially Secret Christian Amanita Cult theorists!
Verbiage

Voice dictation quick placeholder announcement
this is pretty big improvement of my grasp of the many differences, the many fundamental differences, why the 2000 Ruck/ Heinrich/ Staples/ Evil M. Hoffman book Apples of Apollo, it clearly says right on the cover all everything that’s wrong with the Ruck Allegro paradigm.
“When the apostle Paul proclaimed the new Christian Mystery to the factious congregation at Corinth, it was clear that this Eucharist was meant to replace the pagan Mystery that had been celebrated for over a millennium just a short distance away at the sanctuary of Eleusis.”
“Christianity evolved within the context of Judaic and Hellenistic healing cults, magic, shamanism, and Mystery initiations.
“All four of these inevitably imply a sacred ethnopharmacology, with traditions going back to earlier ages of the ancient world.
“The essays in The Apples of Apollo edited by Ruck, Staples and Heinrich attempt to uncover the original food of the sacramental communion.”
___
“After a preliminary review of the rites and etiquette of the sacramental wine of the god Dionysos, whom Christ would replace as sacrificial offering, the myth of Ixion (who is named for the semi-parasitic plant called mistletoe) is linked to Apollo’s role in demanding human victims and the persistence of such rites in the Druidic solstice sacrifice of the “wicker man.””
“Behind the symbolism of the mistletoe and other psychoactive plants lurks the Soma of the Vedic tradition and its botanical original, the fly-agaric mushroom. “
“Rather than being marginal to Classical culture, the fly-agaric, and the array of metaphors its amazing transmutations suggest, is central to the myths of the Greek heroes, and in particular to the first of them all, the hero Perseus, who reformed the religion practiced at the ancient city of Mycenae.”
/ end of book blurb of Apples of Apollo
It is not just that Wasson/ Allegro/ Ruck (& Rush) picked the wrong mushroom; it is that they are based in the ordinary state.
Wasson and Allegro and Ruck are doing fake pseudo-psychedelic, pseudo-entheogens scholarship, that is all infantile, childish, stunted, limited to the physical shape of the Amanita.
It says so right on the cover of the book blurb of this book that was so disappointing to me that it caused me to create the so-called maximal entheogen theory of religion.
But it turns out that it is not a matter of degree, that Carl Ruck is stingy and is a minimalist who is pretending to be a moderate theory.
but rather, we are in entirely different paradigms
Wasson/ Allegro/ Ruck/ Rush is in the kiddie Amanita childish infantile ordinary-state based paradigm, and I am in the actual psilocybin, actually psychedelic paradigm
What passes for fly-agaric so-called “entheogens” is actually all an outsiders’ misreading.
This is a third grader trying to describe adult mental world model transformations that occur in the altered state.
🍄 😲
Look, mummie, there’s a mushroom!
The physical mushroom object, concretistic, not higher thought.
People like Wasson/ Allegro/ Ruck have no idea whatsoever what they’re talking about, and you can see that revealed in the book Entheogens, Myth & Human Consciousness which when they attempt to talk about consciousness all that comes out as garbled poetry instead – highly rated.
they literally don’t know anything about the psychedelic dynamics of worldmodel transformation and
what we end up with instead is childish
the book blurb on the cover of the book Apples of Apollo says so right on the cover; it says that the ultimate reference of religious mythology is the changing shapes of the red and white child children’s mushroom — the fly agaric.
This realization and clear-seeing is the outcome of several hours of spoken idea development which I have recorded, where I realized this big shift in my thinking to realize the gigantic chasm that has separated me since 2000 since I began reading about this so called “entheogen” scholarship.
Just all false advertising; it is nothing of the sort.
They don’t know anything at all about psychedelics experiencing of the highly developed sort.
It is just like the field of exoteric esotericism.
Why this is why the book astrotheology and shamanism by Jan Irvin is such a sawdust disappointment is because it explicitly says that its goal is to broaden the fly agaric Amanita paradigm put forth by John Allegro
and you can see it is doomed right from the beginning to remain a childish
It is completely hopeless to try to go to a book like Astro theology and shaman ism and try to learn anything about the Psychedelics state , because the way the these scholars use the mushrooms topic is completely limited
it is essentially earthbound, locked into the ordinary state of consciousness , so when they attempt to imagine, when the child attempts to imagine what the adult mental cognitive transformation dynamics are about, what these dynamics are about, they get everything wrong
and it is unsatisfying because it is exoteric esotericism
in other words
it is ordinary state based imagining of a child of what the altered state is about
so they end up saying on the cover of the book apples of Apollo that the ultimate referent of religious myth is that it describes, it depicts, religious mythology is a depiction of the shape of the Amanita fly agaric in its lifecycle stages
This is what a third grader would say
the book the apples of Apollo is written as a third grader level of consciousness / experience
it is all based in the ordinary state
this is the fly agaric paradigm
this is the allegro and Wasson paradigm
even though Wasson used Psilocybin it was merely in the Americas context
so we end up with a reductionistic view, just like the CEQ-POS questionnaire is a reductionistic replacement Deletes entirely,
Is a low inadequate approach that fails to get out the adult transformational high potential
Dittrich’s questionnaire angst dread effects category is entirely replaced by the ordinary state grief category
it is total reductionism from the psychedelic state to the ordinary state by deleting all of the psychedelic specific experiential content
Why Asserting “Secret Amanita” Forces You to Assert “Christianity Lacks a Psychedelics Tradition”
In the sense and scenario in which asserters of Secret Christian Amanita Cult have in mind, asserting “Secret Amanita” is inherently the identical same thing as asserting “The mushroom is absent from Reference-Christianity”.
Asserting “secret Amanita” is meaningless unless it’s taken in reference to, and in contrast against, normal reference Christianity not having or knowing that secret.
To declare “Amanita use is secret and hidden and heretical” inherently means that “the Fly Agaric” is NOT present in normal, reference Christianity, or else the word “secret” wouldn’t mean anything.
According to the idea-network behind the Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory.
what I have made good progress on but I haven’t completely answered [update April 11, 2023: talking it through in Egodeath Mystery Show voice recording today, I reached closure! I had to reduce my IQ and think simplistically: ASSERTING “SECRET” IS THE IDENTICAL SAME THING AS ASSERTING “ABSENT FROM REFERENCE Christianity”] is:
Why exactly does the fly agaric paradigm of reductionistic ordinary state so-called pseudo “entheogen” scholarship demand and inherently require that you ignore the repeal of psilocybin prohibition well one big reason is because the fly agaric paradigm is completely ignorant of Psilocybin effects and so therefore it has no interest or awareness in Psilocybin Prohibition and another factor is that the artificial invented storytelling drama make-believe tells the tale of the fly agaric secret heretical sect cult members had to have hidden alchemy hidden images of their secret fly agaric and they were battle against real Christians versus this alien exotic external import so they never talk about the truth which is the important key powerful concept of the Psilocybin Eucharist
I figured that Wasson in some degree knew about the Europe Psilocybin eucharist, but he must’ve had only a child level understanding of it, his only experience with Psilocybin was the Americas approach which was a low approach as opposed to the high Europe approach to the Psilocybin Eucharist as we see in the best images in the catalog of branching message mushroom tree imagery
By the way also I proved that as I suspected that the middle ages did have a way of cultivating Psilocybin specifically all the best eat wine images show specifically cubensis mushrooms trees and image F134 Literally depicts what I claimed and confirms and proves what I claimed
that they had a approach to provide a steady supply on demand on top of psilocybin ideal best type of available study availability cubensis
in fact this is a picture that we have essentially a photograph of the middle ages cultivating ideal cubensis mushrooms for a steady supply, These images F134 and F145 and F177 all show cubensis trees And the show lock boxes boxes lockboxes for storage
they show cultivation
they show harvesting
they show the psilocybin mushroom dispensaries
they show the Psilocybin Mushroom storage
and they show the Psilocybin Mushroom Effect to transform the mental world model
and F134 row to middle shows The three possible combinations that they knew about was that:
1) the ordinary state plus possible ism mental model produces stable control. Closed scroll in left hand held down. holding scale balance, and left heel on the stable column base.
2) The Psilocybin loose Cognitive state plus the possibleism mental model (right fingertip higher than left) produces unstable control . holding the open scroll means Psilocybin altered state, seeing how things work in the mind regarding control.
3) Psilocybin loose cognition plus the eternity non-branching model produces stable control. right hand finger tip lower than left hand fingertips. Open scroll in lowered right hand.
which fits the religious mythology strong indicators of psilocybin induced experiential transformation of the mental world model.
So this is why I felt that in 2000 , and even after the first issues of Entheos journal came out in 2002 I declared a revolution against
I didn’t realize it at the time but I was not just announcing revolution against the moderate or minimal theory in favor of Maximal, but actually there’s a lot more different than that I was rejecting
it turns out the fly agaric paradigm and all of its errors including its invention fabrication of a division building a wall to try to Break the mushroom the two separate the Mushroom the fly agaric from real Christianity
you didn’t realize when you signed on board to the fly agaric paradigm that you were signing on to build and construct an artificial wall between fly agaric and real Christianity
and this is part of what pops up the Prohibition of Psilocybin –
Partially due to the failure of the fly agaric pseudo entheogen paradigm to give any thought to Psilocybin and for some reason also to invent and fabricate a storytelling childish narrative of the good fly agaric rebels who secretly were members of a heretical sect cult sect who were in opposition to the real Christians and their Eucharist but all of this invention was a substitute for adult level actual drama of mental model transformation
Has no need to invent artificial stories with artificial drama between the hard-pressed secret heretical exotic eastern import alien fly agaric versus the real Christians with their normal Eucharist because when I use now the new powerful phrase of the Psilocybin Eucharist and this is in the Europe context
so the Europe psilocybin Eucharist smashes the entire fly agaric false paradigm that artificially tries to pit the pseudo psychedelic Amanita it tries to pit them against each other
an artificially manufactured childish storytime drama of “the fly agaric heretical imported alien sect fighting against the sect fighting against the normal Christians with their real genuine non-fly agaric Eucharist”
So I don’t have all of the loose ends tied together yet and but I am definitely on to a really big thing here and that
I failed to appreciate just how totally different the fly agaric paradigm is an entirely different paradigm that promotes and condones perpetual prohibition of Psilocybin due to substitute storytelling to replace the adult true dynamics of cognitive Content transformation and due to inattention to Psilocybin
Carl Ruck has his attention fully captivated and captured by the infantile childish ordinary-state limited fly agaric fresco and pseudo-“entheogen” scholarship
I feel like I am able to see now
I am able to see the book the Apples of Apollo now and it says right on the cover everything wrong everything that’s in the wrong paradigm
it turns out that the problem was not the moderate theory; the problem was the Amanita Theory and all that goes along with it , including promoting and perpetuating the prohibition of psilocybin, and the inability to pay any attention to cognitive content.
I now understand what it was that I was declaring revolution against in October 2002 when I invented what I called the Maximal Entheogen Theory, but actually what makes it tick is not just maximal , but the fact that it is psilocybin which actually produces with sufficient availability and with sufficient efficacy
They could see the bona fide
Is actual psychedelic transformation which Amanita cannot deliver
and so this bolsters my characterization that Amanita is a parasite on Psilocybin and we must firmly reject the Amanita paradigm all together and it’s entirety and completely wholesale, replace it by a completely different paradigm, which is my so called Maximal Entheogens Theory but
is actually more specifically the Psilocybin eucharist Psilocybin eucharist actually psychedelic (not pseudo-psychedelic) theory of mental model transformation regarding control in world.
In 2002 I did not realize that the key difference was a Amanita versus Psilocybin and the failure of Amanita to provide the needed effects and efficiency compared to Psilocybin when in the Europe context the way that it was ideally optimally used produces the actual cognitive content, unlike Amanita which the cognitive content Unlike amnesia fly agaric , which is limited to only a superficial concretistic material concrete distich regressive physical form of the shifting lifecycle , which was so good in the book strange fruit, but unfortunately it stunted people thinking
kind of like voice dictation is stunted
peoples thinking was stunted the growth with stunted
the growth was stunted
And the inability to properly read Genesis two verse read Genesis chapter 2 verse 16 and 17 and then explain Genesis chapter 3 given that God cannot assert a falsehood and that God said that Adam in fact died on the day
so what is the correct reading must be
the psilocybin analogy esoteric reading must be the correct reading, or else we are to saying we are saying that God tells a falsehood when he says to us Adam died on the day that he ate the fruit.
how is this true?
In what sense is this true, that we say yes God was correct that Adam did in fact die on that day when Adam ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and bad.
Telling a tall tale about the alleged battle between the secret heretical sect fly-agaric cult versus the real Christians with their Eucharist.
And so we end up with a Perpetual Prohibition of Psilocybin thanks to the fly agaric paradigm is based in and limited to the ordinary state of consciousness it is falsely advertised as if it is an Entheogenic theory, but it is no such thing.
These people have wouldn’t know Entheogenic experiencing if it hit them on the head with a stick like enlightened Zen Master Brad.

Dates of Composing and Finalizing the Article
The article: The Entheogen Theory of Religion and Ego Death
Body and intro composed 2006; intro moved into article June 15, 2007, sentences broken up in final revision September 12, 2007.
For several months, the final draft was October 2, 2006. Then in 2007, I broke up a few sentences, but made no content changes, while recording reading-aloud the article: http://egodeath.com/EgodeathTheory_mp3.zip
The intro is key and essential to the design of this article.
From the POV of 2007-2023, every time I picture this article, I always think, above all, of the all-important intro.
July 10, 2007 I fixed a Bubble biblio entry, added “Austin”. https://egodeathyahoogroup.wordpress.com/2021/01/09/egodeath-yahoo-group-digest-93/#message4713 Several earlier posts in that thread (digest 91 & 92) talk about breaking up the too-long sentences in mobile version, but fails to state that I did same in main article – but I apparently attached the main article drafts as zip. So, mid-2007 I was tweaking the article, driven by voice recording speech and by Mobile streamlining.
Found it! Very late date, I applied a large set of changes from Mobile version to main version, and, the Egodeath community (Kanbrunebran) translated the article into Dutch. Very late!
“I updated the main, single-webpage version of my main article, to match the wording of the mobile, multi-webpage version. Almost every paragraph has some wording improvements. These wording improvements were mainly driven by the need to make each sentence vocalizable for reading aloud.
“The single-page version has citations and bibliography.
“Corrected the bibliography as follows: Hoffman, M. S. “The Bubble of Simulation: Subjective Experience as a Virtual Environment”. Fringe Ware Review 5:22-24, 1994. ( http://www.egodeath.com/BubbleOfSimulation.htm )”
And it’s coming back to me — what an awesome property of the great Egodeath Yahoo Group archives from Max Freakout, their ability to bring back all the details from 17 years ago.
[1:50 p.m. February 3, 2023 notes:]
For several months, the final draft was October 2, 2006.
Then in 2007 [todo: date] while recording reading-aloud the article, I broke up a few sentences, but made no content changes.
The article should not say “Copyright 2006-2007”; it should say “Copyright 2006”, even though I added a couple sentence breaks in 2007.
I finally took 2 minutes to look up the exact date in 2006 that I announced the final draft other than an early 2007 tweak to make this article readable aloud.
My memory/guess in 2023 of the month in 2006 was correct! October 2006.
September 2006, the article had final content except the whole Intro section was only in the home page of the Egodeath.com site. June 2007 incorp’d that intro section into the article.
Sep. 12, 2007 broke up long sentences like done in the Mobile version of the article, to enable reading-aloud; like: short words + short sentences + short paragraphs.
These dates are findable in the Max Freakout archives of the Egodeath Yahoo Group in the 2006-2007 thread that’s dedicated to the article, but Find “September 12, 2007” at present site, where I’ve written up the date findings.
A bad writing habit that I just (2023-02-03) had to fix in the above sentence, too, is inserting a “clarifying” sentence within an already over-complicated sentence, to “add clarity”. 😵
[1:50 p.m. February 3, 2023 notes:]
To determine what tweaks I made in 2007 to make the article readable aloud, load into Word and use Compare Documents :
I dislike the lack of first names; I regret that I copied this senseless academic convention.
Lacks {handedness} and {non-branching} art motifs
[1:50 p.m. February 3, 2023 notes:]
I failed during 2006-Feb. 2022 to intelligently “read” the first image in the article, which is an incredibly awesome image diagramming the {handedness} and {non-branching} art motifs.
I haven’t searched this site to establish and memorize official dates, but around March 6 – April 13, 2022, I finally recognized and decoded the {handedness} and {non-branching} art motifs in the Eustace window image and in the final image in the 2006 article.
In the last image, Dionysus’ victory procession, Ariadne is holding a branching branch in left hand, vs. Dionysus’ non-branching spear held in his right hand.
Correction: Moses’ Brass Serpent on a Pole
The “time-pole” explanation is the worst shortcoming, off-base, of mytheme-decoding in the article, as I knew when I published this in 2006-2007.
To solve the mytheme {healing brass snake on a pole to look at to heal from fatal snake-bite} (that is, to identify how that mytheme is analogous to specific “things that are observed and experienced in the altered state”) required a huge successful build-out of deciphering/translating/ decoding the entire language of mythemes.
I had a huge math-like discovery Thanksgiving week climaxing on November 29, 2013, that was required to solve that Nehushtan snake-on-pole:
{tree vs. snake} = Possibilism vs. Eternalism.
{Moses’ serpent on a pole for the Israelites to heal rebellious Israelites from fatal snake-bite}, not solved in this Main Article of 2006, is an example of “an unsolved problem within the New Theory”. Solved Nov 2011 & esp. Nov 2013/Dec 2013, as posted at Egodeath Yahoo Group in major announcements in Dec 2013.
This picture doesn’t show debranched tree, or Y at top: hard to decode from this; I had to do a web image search in Dec 2013 to corroborate that some artists show the pole as a debranched tree.
funnel hat blown off guy left of Moses has lifted garment floating both feet off ground
On November 14, 2020, and then further on December 14, 2020 when I found and uploaded my photograph, I proved that the leopard is drinking from an Amanita in Holy Grail format, partly by my own specimen observations and photograph.
omg the above section’s notes from 2020 don’t note my March 2022 breakthrough about Ariadne holding {branch} in {left hand}.
Ariadne is holding a branching branch in left hand, vs. Dionysus’ non-branching spear held in his right hand.
In 2020 here I merely noted the updated mushroom count of 6.
Engaging my brain finally in March 2022 to actually think about “why holding branch” instead of my decades of just throwing up my arms, “I can’t understand, I lack the special backstory.”
I felt super idiotic March-April 2022 when I finally stopped acting mentally helpless and actually engaged my critical analytical faculty – for me, the main feeling of record-breaking intellectual achievement is feeling dumb for not having realized the obvious, decades ago.

I advocate total repeal of Psychedelics Prohibition, returning to eg 1912 non-existence of laws. Remove Psychedelics from the “schedules” and eliminate the “schedules”, like in 1912, and NO, we do NOT need “helpful laws”, nothing but an evil trojan horse; we did better during a million years of lacking such “helpful laws”. To Hell with “helpful laws”, “helpful Satan”. – Cybermonk

Motivation for Creating this Page
I need a clean organized list and overview of all the articles. The beginnings of that is buried right now in Idea Development page 18.
I need to rank the articles to cite some in my article:
Explaining {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, {stability} and {non-branching} Motifs
The Focus and Boundary of Bad Paradigm of Entheogen Scholarship = Allegro/ Wasson/ Secret Amanita Heretical Cult with Plaincourault Fresco and Panofsky
(ignoring his hundreds of Psilocybin mushroom trees, because not Amanita, so irrelevant and of no interest)
Ruck tries to bestow undue credit on Wasson
Irvin Over-Credits All Mushroom Trees to Allegro, Instead of Just the Lone Amanita Tree of the Fresco
The “Thoroughly Familiar with Mushroom Trees” Art Historians — Who Wrote NOTHING AT ALL About Mushroom Trees – CITATIONS NEEDED, PANOFSKY & WASSON!!
Hand it Over, Jerks! Posers! Frauds! Liars! Fake History Fabricators, Cover-up Artists
Wasson’s Extremely Rude and Intensely Disrespectful Attitude Toward Everyone Else, and Ploys to Rob Credit from Everyone Else by Pretending Fresco != Genesis Text
Wasson Held Self-Aggrandizement as More Important than Truth and Investigation
Wasson Wrote “I Was Wrong” in 1952, not 1986 or 1968
Wasson’s Fabrication of Difficulty and False Claim of Higher Intelligence or Priority of Discovery
Art Historians’ “Familiarity” — with Lying and Covering-Up the Thousands of Mushroom Trees
Weasel-Word Whiplash Flipping of the Football Field Goalposts by John Lash & Carl Ruck: Asserting the Ubiquitous Presence/ Absence of Entheogens
True or False: Wasson Asserted that the Pre-history Origin of … ALL Genuine Religious Experience Is Visionary Plants (a Narrowing Qualifier Followed by a Broadening Qualifier)
The Return of the Wafflehouse Gang: They Are the Kings of Self-Contradiction Deserving Full Credit for Total Prevarication and Self-Contradiction and Stinginess Combined with Total Braggadocio
Reading Summaries of Loss of Viable Control, 4-Phase Development Model, the Old Steersman Did Lose Control
Cybernetic Death: You Will Definitely Die and That Kind of “You” Will Lose Control on that Day That You Will Eat the Psilocybin Fruit
Image f107 Detail: Lifted from Ossuary
Big Theme 1 of 3: Rightly Assigning Credit and Blame to Wasson, Allegro, Ruck, Samorini, Irvin, Rush, Brown
(Positive) Contributions, (Neutral) Limitations, and (Negative) Harms Caused
Big Theme 2 of 3: How Much the Topic of “Entheogens in Christianity” Amounts to {branching-message mushroom trees} and Panofsky’s “hundreds” of (Mainly Psilocybin!) Mushroom Trees
… which Every Entheogen scholar (including Allegro) Ignored Until Samorini 1997, because they aren’t Amanita
Fixation on Fresco b/c It’s the Only Amanita Tree
The Great Entheogen Scholarship Project, of Trying to Separate Mushrooms from Christianity
Entheogen Scholars’ “Absence and Suppression” Master Narrative that they Labor to Prop Up at All Costs: The Big Bad Church Got Rid of Mushrooms
Entheogen Scholarship has been False-Narrative Driven, Causing Prohibition
Salamander Contentious for Same Reason: Ruck Faceplants on it Because He Hallucinates that It’s Red & White
Big Theme 3 of 3 in these Sessions: How Art Motifs Depict this Model of Mental Model Transformation
Drafting the Abstract/ Intro/ Conclusions Sections of {branching-message mushroom trees} article
Mapping of {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} Motifs to My 4-Phase Model of Mental Model Transformation: Summary of How It Works
Visibility of Right Wrist in f177 Shroud Ossuary: cybernetic control death = perceiving non-branching reality
Freeform Touring of Great Canterbury Psalter Hi-Res at Library with Commentary
STEM English plain direct model explanation, as a presentation method and approach to explanation.
My model of mental model developmental transformation from 1) tightcog possibilism, 2) tightcog eternalism education, 3) loosecog eternalism catastrophic demonstration of fatal loss of control of the possibilism type, driving transformation to the 2nd mode of viable control; 4) tightcog qualified possibilism-thinking.
Art motifs of {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} motifs, & {stability} motifs eg {fire}, {demon torment}, {scale balance}, {stable tower}, {stable column base}, {building doorway construction} {flames}, {sword}, {spear}, {blade}; cybernetic control death and reset and reconfiguration.

Explaining {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, {stability} and {non-branching} Motifs
244a 0:16 – “VOX_TK_4874” – April 4, 2023 — Gold Clip about motifs from previous episode (joined together into 8 minutes). Later in Ep244, I do some fresh coverage of that, for the Abstract, Intro, and Conclusion of {branching-message mushroom trees} article.
The 3 motifs, {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} [and {stability}] motifs, can be explained by interpreting them as depictions of mental worldmodel transformation from transformation from possibilism to eternalism, literalist ordinary-state possibilism with autonomous control to analogical psychedelic eternalism with dependent control, driven by control instability loss of control and reconfiguration of mental worldmodel of control,
per the Egodeath theory, which is the Theory of Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism Cybernetics; the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism.

244a 8:16 – “VOX_TK_4881” (April 5, 2023, 640 MB) – Wasson wanted credit for discovering the idea of “tree of konwledge = Amanita” so he had to rob and insult and defame the French mycologists, by lying and falsely claiming (like Samorini) that we can and should think about Genesis Eden text as if completely different than the fresco.
As if no one understood either of these. As if it makes sense to recognize one without recognizing the other.
False elevation of Genesis text over fresco and pretending there’s weren’t THOUSANDS OF PPL FIGURED OUT BEFORE WASSON, tons of people who recognized both Genesis text & fresco as Amanita: eg. the 1900 AD French mycologists.

We must not treat Allegro/Wasson/Secret Amanita Fresco Panofsky as if they are the central focus and boundary of the field of entheogen scholarship.

1:01 – “VOX_TK_4884” (2023-04-06 800 MB) – There’s a 3-phase deal of how we recog’d mushroom in Christianity:
1) Wasson: Amanita only, in Genesis 1000 BC text Eden tree only.
2) Allegro: Primitive Christianity 1 AD, very SECRETLY, and also inconsistently, Amanita in Plaincourault cult hereetical sect, ONLY. Allegro SHOULD GET NO CREDIT FOR SHIITE HE DID NOT ASSERT, IRVIN!
3) Samorini FINALLY follows up on Panofsky’s lead, “hundreds of [psil] msh trees” – why did no one do this 1952-1997?
Why the delay from Wasson’s lying deceptive censoring partial report of Panofsky 1952, until finally someone pounding on Panofsky’s door yelling “HAND IT OVER, THE CITATIONS AND MSH TREES THAT WASSON CENSORED!

Wasson Wrote “I Was Wrong” in 1952, not 1986 or 1968
244b 1:20:00 – Errata correction: Wasson wrote the “I was wrong” passage that’s published in Persephone’s Quest not in 1986, nor 1968 per my 2006 article, but rather, in 1952, or whenever he first wrote anything about either Genesis Eden tree of knowledge & life in Gen 2 & 3, or Plainc fresco, whichever he wrote about first.
Intensive Harshing on Wasson at 1:20:00
I throw Wasson’s rude, insulting 🐴💩 right back at him – psychopathic jerk insulting “The Public”, he is totally disrespectful to everyone.
Insulting our intelligence with his garbage, kettle-logic, convoluted arguments.

Like Hatsis’ aggression, Wasson’s aggressive attacks are a sign of having a weak, confused case; it’s a package deal scheme.
1:32:26 – Many people feel Samorini is being ridiculous and unrealistic the way he claims:
Any sane person knows that OF COURSE if you think Genesis Eden text tree = Amanita then you also think Fresco means Amanita, AND ESPECIALLY, YOU THINK THAT LOTS AND LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE KNOW THIS AWARENESS.
Wasson’s Fabrication of Difficulty and False Claim of Higher Intelligence or Priority of Discovery
But Wasson wants to PRETEND that ONLY HE has figured this “difficult” stuff out.
He’s exaggerating the difficulty of the whole topic and then claiming he’s such fkking BRILLIANT that ONLY HE was able to figure this stuff out and it’s SO HARD, we must SUBMIT to the “conclusions” of art historians on “totally different topic” (eye roll) of fresco.
Art Historians’ “Familiarity” — with Lying and Covering-Up the Thousands of Mushroom Trees
Art historians’ “conclusions” & “familiarity” = commitment to lies & coverup, dissimulation and kettle-logic fallacious 1-way argumentation; scholarly bullying by poser/ fraud art historians whose assigned job is to FABRICATE ART HISTORY THAT EXPLAINS AWAY — not covers, but rather, covers-over — the thousands of mushroom trees.
This is all Wasson confabulation and obfuscation, THE INVENTION/ FABRICATION/ manufacturing of pseudo-DIFFICULTIES, TO CLAIM TO BE SMARTER THAN OTHERS and to steal a false claim of Priority of Discovery from others such as French mycologists.

Cybernetic Death: You Will Definitely Die and That Kind of “You” Will Lose Control on that Day That You Will Eat the Psilocybin Fruit

244c 1:30:00 – How do we get from the 1st to 2nd mental worldmodel? how does the transformation process work, centrally involving cybernetic death and rebirth? What exactly occurs in cybernetic control death and cybernetic control rebirth? ego death, loss of control, did Bowie and Robin Zander lose control, did Isaac die?
God: “You will certainly definitely die on the day that you will eat the fruit.” Making God a liar? How was God speaking truth, that:
ADAM AND EVE DID INDEED DIE ON THAT DAY THEY INGESTED THE FRUIT OF GNOSIS.
The correct mode of reading is whatever mode of reading succeeds at reconciling God with snake. That’s how to know it’s the correct mode of reading.
Entheogen scholars call God a liar, therefore their reading is WRONG.
Entheogen scholars falsely say God is a drug prohibitionist and a liar.
Adam and Eve started standing on Left foot, ended up standing on Right foot, so they suffered catastrophic fatal loss of control. in the ossuary of cybernetic control death.

244c 1:50:00 – the Egodeath theory replaces the Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory which Allegro and Ruck and Rush push. Note [10:04 a.m. April 8, 2023]: Although Irvin 2008 calls to avoid “secrecy” “feeble presence” “mystics only” and “heretical sects” only, as Ruck pushes, unfortunately for Irvin’s Allegro-worship, Allegro is the very SOURCE of the Secrecy paradigm!
No wonder Hatsis mistakes Irvin as a “Secret Christian Amanita Cult theorist”! IRVIN NEEDS TO REJECT ALLEGRO’S Secret Christian Amanita Cult THEORY-ASPECT. REJECT Reject the the Amanita Primacy Fallacy and reject the feeble-presence, heretical-only, alien invasion of The Mushroom into Christianity theory (which = the Amanita Primacy Fallacy, which Irvin doesn’t realize).

Big Theme 2 of 3: How Much the Topic of “Entheogens in Christianity” Amounts to {branching-message mushroom trees} and Panofsky’s “hundreds” of (Mainly Psilocybin!) Mushroom Trees
… which Every Entheogen scholar (including Allegro) Ignored Until Samorini 1997, because they aren’t Amanita
Fixation on Fresco b/c It’s the Only Amanita Tree
entheogen scholarship was reduced to Secret Amanita Cult theory, which Hatsis sees and he largely sees it because of Irvin’s book pointing it out.
Irvin fails to call out Allegro for causing the Amanita Primacy Fallacy.
Irvin fails to blame Allegro for creating the Secret Deviant Alien Invasion Heretical Sect.
the STINGINESS OF ALLEGRO just like Ruck, not much more generous than Wasson. Samo was the first to take up Panofsky’s hundreds of Pilzbaum and take slightly more generous than Allegro approach.
The Great Entheogen Scholarship Project, of Trying to Separate Mushrooms from Christianity
The field remained primarily stingy from Samorini 1997 through Entheos journal in 2003, when I DECLARED REVOLUTION AGAINST ENTHEOGEN SCHOLARS’ EXTREME STINGINESS IN OCTOBER 2002 & March 2003 when I announced the maximal entheogen theory of religion against evil M. Hoffman, Carl Amanita Promoter Ruck, Clark Heinrich — but I should have declared against the Amanita Primacy Fallacy, which is a package deal with the entheogen scholars’ main, master project and overriding objective that’s more important to them than repeal of Psilocybin Prohibition: the Great entheogen scholarship project of trying to separate mushrooms from Christianity.
John Lash tries to tear mushrooms away from Christianity.
EVERY entheogen scholar HAS BAD MOTIVES, FOR ALL TRYING TO REMOVE AND SEPARATE mushrooms from Christianity and minimize and neutralize them.
John Lash says Christianity is evil “salvationism” and therefore we cannot permit Christianity to be based on Psilocybin, but we must extract and remove psilocybin mushrooms from Christianity by erecting a firm barrier and wall in between “Christianity / salvationism” (bad) and Psilocybin (good).
Good job of fabricating false history guaranteeing that Psilocybin Prohibition remains in place forever, Lash and entheogen scholars.
Irvin rightly blames Ruck for stinginess and trying to separate mushroom from Christianity
Irvin fails to blame Allegro for a form of stinginess and trying to separate mushroom from real, normal, ordinary Christianity of the Middle Ages.
Entheogen Scholars’ “Absence and Suppression” Master Narrative that they Labor to Prop Up at All Costs: The Big Bad Church Got Rid of Mushrooms
Their Absence and Suppression Narrative: The Big Bad Church Got Rid of Mushroom and Didn’t Have Mushrooms, so every time, they always assert and EMPHASIZE it was a Secret Elite hidden cult sect heretical group, with “hidden, secret” mushrooms (The Mushroom 🍄 )
No wonder Hatsis says ditch the whole paradigm; kick out all these “Secret Christian Amanita Cult theorists” out of the field so we can begin doing serious, fact-based (not agenda/narrative-driven) entheogen scholarship.
Entheogen Scholarship has been False-Narrative Driven, Causing Prohibition
I simply say, Christians used mushrooms. Stop trying to sever this plain given! STOP SAYING “SECRET HERETICAL CULT SECT”!!
Which means also, Reject the Amanita Primacy Fallacy.

Ruck strives to restrict mushrooms to mystics and deviant, exceptional heretical sects.
John Allegro fails to be interested in mushroom trees, except the lone Amanita-based instance in the fresco.
John Allegro is a main source of the counterproductive Secret Amanita Cult dead-end, self-defeating paradigm that supports Prohibition.
John Rush, John Allegro, and Carl Ruck have all tried to restrict mushrooms to Amanita used only by deviant heretical sects or “elite”.
Instead, build theory around explanatory constructs such as the normal mainstream psilocybin Eucharist instead, as an effective, strategic, forward-driving explanatory construct.
Avoid explanatory constructs like secret, heretical, exotic cult sects from the exotic East.
Don’t strive to build a thick wall that separates mushrooms from normal Christianity, because that supports Prohibition.
Reject the Amanita Primacy Fallacy and the explanatory construct of Secret Christian Amanita cult.
Treat Psilocybin as the normal Eucharist, because that drives toward full repeal of Psilocybin Prohibition, and because it’s true, against the Amanita Primacy Fallacy.
The #1 objective of entheogen scholarship is Transcendent Knowledge about how the mind works, and full repeal of Psilocybin Prohibition.
The Entheogen Scholars’ Project of Minimizing the Presence of Entheogens in Christianity
Their Master Narrative that’s Their Main Objective: Explain that Early Christianity Minimized Use of Entheogens, and Frame all Evidence to Prop Up that Narrative of Absence and Separation
Ruck appears to be Moderate, but he’s actually merely Minimal, and more stingy and restrictive than it appears.
Irvin 2008 appears to be Maximal, but he’s actually merely Moderate, and more stingy and restrictive than it appears.

Summary of Realizations: Rightly Assigning Credit and Blame to Entheogen Scholars
April 9, 2023
Gordon Wasson’s Contributions to and Harms to the Field
How Wasson steered the field ahead:
Built on the research from Reko, Schultes, and Graves.
Wrote books asserting Amanita and some semi-general entheogen ideas.
How Wasson steered the field into a dead end:
Pushed the Amanita Primacy Fallacy, in the Europe context.
Intensive, active, repeated scholarly obstructionism, severe lies of omission, withheld the weakness of Panofsky’s citation list consisting of flimsy Brinckmann 1906 and attached images and at least two letters from Panofsky.
He put more priority on self-promotion than on pursuing the truth about mushrooms in Christianity.
Harassed and insulted pompously, mycologists, “rightly or wrongly”.
Insulted the Plaincourault artist, lying about that artist, falsely (for self-aggrandizement) stating the painter had “no inkling”.
Falsely brags about being the first to figure out Genesis Eden text tree means Amanita. French mycologists beat him by 50 years, and ignores the thousands of other people who read Genesis esoterically/correctly as mushrooms.
John Allegro’s Contributions to and Harms to the Field
How Allegro steered the field ahead: Wrote a good book flap and book cover.
How Allegro steered the field into a dead end:
Secret Christian Amanita Cult.
Falsely presupposed Antiquity was Prohibitionist per unthinking presentism.
Failed to give a damn about the hundreds of psilocybin mushroom trees.
Brian Muraresku’s Contributions to and Harms to the Field
Everyone is twisting my arm to read and review The Immortality Key. I read Cyberdisciple’s critical review.
How Muraresku steered the field ahead:
A popular strong, bold assertion of the general entheogen theory.
How Muraresku steered the field into a dead end:
Pushes the Eleusis/ ergot/ kykeon primacy fallacy.
Gets sidetracked, like John Lash’s Not In His Name, on the topic of patriarchy.
Carl Amanita Promoter Ruck’s Contributions to and Harms to the Field
How Ruck steered the field ahead: Entheos journal, tottering tower of books, see praise by Muraresku.
How Ruck steered the field into a dead end: Pushes, hard, the Secret Christian Amanita Cult bad explanatory construct/ paradigm/ presupposition. Secret Amanita. Dr. Secret. Restricts the presence of mushroom in normal, real Christianity.
Jan Irvin’s Contributions to and Harms to the Field
How Irvin steered the field ahead: expose of social engineering astroturf manuf’g of the psychedelic revolution. 2008 book proving normalcy of mushroom imagery within DNA heart essence of Eucharist/ Christianity.
How Irvin steered the field into a dead end:
The book the Holy Mushroom doesn’t contain the word ‘Eucharist’!
Irvin inadvertently continues to think from within the Secret Christian Amanita Cult paradigm (presupposition-set).
Even as he asserts in THM that “the mushroom” is essential of Christianity, not an alien addition to Christianity, Irvin fails to identify “The Mushroom” with the Eucharist.
He says Christianity comes from “the Mushroom”, but he neglects and fails to identify “the Mushroom” as identical with the Eucharist.
Therefore I should use the phrase “the Psilocybin Eucharist paradigm” as against “the Secret Amanita paradigm“.
When Irvin flipped against the 65 entheogen scholars he interviewed in 2012, he falsely pitted Logos against “the mushroom” by which he only thinks of Amanita, but should think of psilocybin.
Irvin falsely conflates the “suggestogen” social misuse of psychedelics as if that’s the cognitive mechanism of action. The actual action is loose cog.
As firmly as Irvin 2008 asserted normalcy of “The Mushroom” in Christianity, he still had a completely shallow, exoteric esotericism, which makes it easy for him to reject The Mushroom altogether.
Irvin doesn’t know the potential of psilocybin, so he easily underestimates it, in reductionistic way. Irvin is barking up the wrong tree anyway, continuing to overemphasize “The Mushroom” (picture kiddie Amanita 🍄 ).
He doesn’t even grasp that we are not talking about Amanita, but Psilocybin.
It’s easy to let go of “The Mushroom”, when you’re confused about what the word ‘mushroom’ means: the psilocybin Eucharist.
Irvin 2022 refrains from attacking directly the assertions of Irvin 2008. I have relieved Irvin from the labor of reconciling himself; the only one who can do that is me (or someone who applies my theory).
We can assume that Irvin 2022 (Logos Media Irvin) will avoid, and is not able to reconcile with Irvin 2008 (Gnostic Media Irvin).
Reconciling Gnostic Irvin with Logos Irvin: It’s a Matter of How Well You Use It
My Amazon review of God’s Flesh already solved the reconciling.
Irvin 2008 should be amplified to become Maximal, such that Eucharist/Logos = Psilocybin.
Psilocybin is ideally correctly used to its full potential, which Middle Ages Europe Christianity came much closer to than in the Americas.
Ideally, psilocybin usage is taught to produce efficient transformation from possibilism to eternalism, resulting in qualified freewill thinking.
Psilocybin should be used more like it was in Europe than in the Americas; then it reaches its potential to be the Eucharist.
Thus is Irvin 2008 “psilocybin is the Eucharist/Logos” reconciled with Irvin 2022 “psilocybin is the enemy of the Eucharist/Logos”.
It’s how you use it.
Psilocybin is a tool, that can be used or mis-used, used poorly or well, profitably or unprofitably.
John Lash’s Contributions to and Harms to the Field
How John Lash steered the field ahead: pushing psilocybin and criticizing Wasson for pushing Amanita & the Amanita Primacy Fallacy.
How John Lash steered the field into a dead end: refuses to permit mushrooms to contact Judeo-Christianity b/c “salvationism”. Fails to cover Mithraism, which destroys his false narrative of mystery religions. Refuses to all Moses or Jesus or Paul to have used entheogens, because those figures are “salvationism” (which is bad, says Lash).
John Rush’s Contributions to and Harms to the Field
How John Rush steered the field ahead: gallery of broad-thinking evidence of mushrooms in Christian art.
How John Rush steered the field into a dead end: heavily pushing the Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory/paradigm of absence; “presence = abnormal = absence”.
Erwin Panofsky’s Contributions to and Harms to the Field
How Panofsky steered the field ahead: announced the “hundreds” and tried to cite Brinckmann and provide two mushroom trees in “the” letter to Wasson.
How Panofsky steered the field into a dead end: art historians plotted to carry out an information blackout, and forbid writing anything about mushroom trees, such that they ended up with only a single citation, Brinckmann (intensively repeatedly censored by Wasson).
Giorgio Samorini’s Contributions to and Harms to the Field
How Samorini steered the field ahead: Finally followed up on Panofsky’s thousands of psilocybin mushroom trees.
How Samorini steered the field into a dead end: 1998 article’s Figure 20 disaster, multiplies the mis-use of the fresco as if a paradigm.
Still condones the Amanita Primacy Fallacy.
Browns’ Contributions to and Harms to the Field
How Brown steered the field ahead:
2016 book
2019 publishing the Panofsky letters revealing major scholarly obstructionism and Wasson’s severe lying by omission.
How Brown steered the field into a dead end:
Trying to use St. Walburga tapestry to discard the galleries of Irvin & Rush.
Partially still being stuck in the “suppression and secrecy” paradigm which strives to separate mushrooms from real, normal DNA of Christianity / Eucharist.
Hatsis’ Contributions to and Harms to the Field
How Hatsis steered the field ahead:
Identified the Amanita Primacy Fallacy, the dead end of the Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory.
How Hatsis steered the field into a dead end:
Conflates Amanita with “mushrooms”.
Claims no psilocybin in England before 1976.
Lifts Irvin’s call to stop the secrecy premise from Irvin without crediting Irvin, and then falsely claims that Irvin pushes the secrecy premise.
Very aggressive and clumsy industrial-scale strawmanning.
Hatsis should accuse Ruck and Allegro of pushing Secret Christian Amanita Cult, not Irvin.
Hatsis is poor at Theory; lots of fallacious argumentation eg. “neutral = naturalistic = firmly assuming ordinary-state” interpretation of esoteric art.
Pushes the “text trumps art” fallacy.
Anti-mushroom psychedelic witch.
Presupposition that antiquity demonizes mushrooms (presentism projection of Prohibition, copycatting Allegro’s error).
Calls to END the field, rather than correcting it. Conflates “Allegro’s Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory is wrong” with “therefore no mushrooms in Christianity”.
Heading
Against Jan Irvin’s claim, John Allegro fails to give a damn about Erwin Panofsky’s broad category of (psilocybin) mushroom trees; Allegro only cares about the one, deviant, Amanita fresco.
Wasson limited and restricted mushrooms in Judeo-Christianity exclusively to the Genesis Eden tree text, no further, no later, eg not in the book of Revelation, even though it mirrors the Genesis trees.
Carl Ruck (with Gonzalez per Irvin 2008) falsely tries to credit Wasson with asserting Panofsky’s “hundreds” (ie. thousands) of mushroom trees. That credit belongs to Samorini, not Wasson.
Jan Irvin ought to criticize John Allegro for setting up a DEAD END, against the attempt (as stated on the cover) of Irvin & Rutajit’s 2006 book Astrotheology and Shamanism to try to broaden Allegro’s theory.
Allegro’s Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory is inherently the opposite of broad; you’re trying to do the opposite of Allegro.
Allegro CANNOT be given credit for broad interest in mushroom trees. ALLEGRO DIDN’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT MUSHROOM TREES, Irvin – he ONLY cared about the deviant, lone Amanita tree, in the one fresco, that’s it; that’s all.
Irvin, stop mis-portraying Allegro as a Samorini-type, Cybermonk-type broad embracer of Panofsky’s “hundreds” (ie thousands) of (psilocybin) mushroom trees.
Against John Lash, Gordon Wasson refrained from asserting mushrooms in Christianity, so Wasson cannot be given credit for the broad idea of entheogens as the origin and inspiration in all the religions.
Against Thomas Hatsis’ claim, Irvin 2008 calls for ending the “secrecy” premise and Ruck’s & Wasson’s restrictive aspects of the Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory.
Irvin errs in condoning the Amanita Primacy Fallacy.
Hatsis needs to blame Allegro for fabricating the Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory.
Hatsis needs to blame Carl Amanita Promoter Ruck for pushing the Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory.
Jan Irvin needs to credit Giorgio Samorini, not John Allegro, for giving a damn about Panofsky’s hundreds of (psilocybin) mushroom trees.
John Rush — not Jan Irvin — pushes the Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory. See my expose of Rush’s narrative, contradicting his evidence, of his 2022 2nd Edition book:

Bad Entheogen Scholars Pushing the False Narrative of Separation of Entheogens from Christianity: “Hidden, Secret” Images Reflecting “Heretical Sects” Using Entheogens
The Entheogen Scholars’ Project of Minimizing the Presence of Entheogens in Christianity
Their Master Narrative that’s Their Main Objective: Explain that Early Christianity Minimized Use of Entheogens, and Frame all Evidence to Prop Up that Narrative of Absence and Separation
Seen clearly in the 2022 2nd Edition book cover blurb and imagery by John Lash, which totally DOES push “the Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory” that’s condemned by Thomas Hatsis. Hatsis 2013 should be condemning Ruck and Rush, NOT Jan Irvin!
Hatsis falsely attributes Ruck & Rush’s actual position to Irvin!
Irvin 2008 doesn’t reject Amanita emphasis as much as he should. When Irvin tries to reject, calls for rejecting the Secrecy premise, he should have (ideally) realized and recognized how much the Amanita is identified with the Secrecy premise.
Irvin does cover psilocybin art, and his Index lists many page #s on psilocybin. But he doesn’t recognized how Allegro was terrible and wrong for latching onto Amanita conflating it with “mushrooms”.
Irvin wrongly attempts to grant credit to Allegro for all psilocybin and amanita mushroom trees, but we cannot credit Allegro for anything stronger or broader than Secret Christian Amanita Cult in primitive Christianity (30 AD) and a tiny sliver (incoherent) of Secret Christian Amanita Cult in 1291 in Plaincourault ONLY, as a narrow, stingy, (cite Irvin’s wording), rare, deviant, non-Christian, alien, exceptional, abnormal heretical cult from the East.
fact: Allegro was a huge part of the problem, the narrowing, trying to SEPARATE entheogens — ie, Amanita ONLY, from Christianity.
What Allegro asserted: Secret Christian Amanita Cult in primitive Christianity (30 AD) and Secret Christian Amanita Cult in 1291 in Plaincourault, ONLY.
What Irvin tries to credit Allegro for:
Samorini 1997 rightly gets credit for the full Panofsky “hundreds” of mushroom trees IN Christianity although most likely, Samorini habitually tries to SEPARATE as abnormal, psilocybin & amanita from real Christianity.
Irvin’s book emphasizes clearly, Christianity IS entheogen based; the DNA of Christianity is entheogens; entheogens are the essensce of normal, real Christianity.
Jan Irvin in The Holy Mushroom (2008) calls for entheogen scholars to stop trying to SEPARATE entheogens from real Christianity. Irvin is provably the OPPOSITE of “Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory” which sloppy Hatsis the sloppy lecturer about historiographical methodology, carelessly assigns Ruck & Rush’s position to Irvin.
Irvin’s flaw is to continue overemphasizing Amanita; Irvin ought to firmly switch from the Amanita primacy fallacy to the Psilocybin primacy premise.
todo: quote Jan Irvin’s book THM where he criticizes stingy Carl Ruck who thinks his job is to REMOVE mushrooms from Christianity by separating mushroom use as “sect” and “cult”, and deleting and separating mushrooms from Christian art by artificially labelling each occurrence as “hidden” and “secret”.
Ruck in fact is THE one who is pushing “the Secret Christian Amanita Cult theory”.
Irvin ought to criticize John Rush for pushing the same narrative of absence, or NARRATIVE OF SEPARATION OF ENTHEOGENS FROM Christianity.
In John Lash’s false telling, if you assert visionary plants in religion, you assert Wasson’s idea.
Lash over-broadens Wasson’s narrow limited idea, to falsely say in body of 2nd edition of Not in His Name, falsely claiming that Wasson wrote that “all authentic mystical experience is from entheogens.” todo: insert photo of that page.
Wasson wrote that the ingestion of visionary plants is the origin of all genuine religious experience.
John Lash, Not in His Image, 2nd Edition, p. 220, WAY over-crediting Wasson and mis-painting him as FAR more assertively asserting entheogens in all religion including Christianity — which Wasson never asserted, but refrained from asserting, and always consistently harassed and was obstructionist to people who did assert mushrooms in Christianity
VERY false statement from Michael Pollan’s book How to Change Your Mind; WAY over-crediting Wasson:
Irvin’s book THM is specificially to set the record straight to correct attribute narrow credit to Wasson only penetrating into Genesis text chapter 3 and no later, because Wasson never asserted in any clear definite extent, any later presence of entheogens in Judeo-Christianity. Irvin wants to give as much, as broad credit to Allegro as possible, badly wishes that we could give credit to Allegro for the entire general set of Panofsky’s “hundreds” (ie thousands) of mushroom trees. Citations available in THM, for my above assertions. I read aloud the passages to back that up, in Egodeath Mystery Show. But in the show so far, I was in process of doing the research. Now I have determined the situation and here are my conclusions.
Irvin DOES NOT assert Secret Christian Amanita Cult, but in fact, the opposite: Irvin REBUTS and calls for REJECTING Rucks’ (with Gonzales) …
(this makes me happy because in 2008, Irvin is criticizing Carl Ruck for much of what I in 2020-2023 have been (and maybe in Oct 2002/March 2003) rebelled against Ruck for: though I reject Amanita, specifically; Irvin doesn’t do that.
I condemn Ruck for pushing Secret Amanita …. let me now strengthen my condemnation, leveraging “sect” and “cult” :
Just like Ruck puts each msh image in a cage to remove it and separate it from real Christianity, he call / he labels and he neutralizes by labelling each image as “hidden” and “secret” though they are shown openly. similarly, Ruck jails each psychedelic user in Christian history into the jail-cell brick cell as “sect” and “cult”. Irvin has good wording here, todo: quote Irvin THM against Ruck.
wish i read before, The Holy Mushroom book’s beginning & ending.
Irvin supports with the best evidence my position against the Secrecy paradigm. And shows that the field has two opposed paradigms.
Irvin emphasizes msh were the origin and inspiration within Christianity, and calls to stop fabricating a brick wall between msh & real Christianity, as Ruck tries to do.
Irvin tries to credit Allegro with asserting msh trees, which i think is unjustified. Samorini is the first to assert that, in 1997, Afaik
voice rec’gs made
Next I want to make a voice recording and a post and update my introduction and conclusion to my branching message mushroom trees article to connect a series of three things number one rightly giving right credit and restricting the credit regarding Mushroom trees because mushroom trees is the same thing as emphasizing visionary plants in Christianity really amounts to Mushroom Tree’s
That is the middle point to discuss the first point to discuss is giving the right amount of credit to the right people and this also includes listing who tried to give the incorrect amount of credit to Giorgio Sam Marini or Gordon Wasson or John allegro or to me or to Professor Brown
And John Lash’s gets some specific credit for some thing and John Lash’s wrongly tries to give too much credit to Gordon Wasson but uncharacteristically John Lash’s does criticize Wasson — I am glad — for pushing the Amanita Primacy Fallacy, and failing to emphasize psilocybin instead.
I don’t know that Thomas Hatsis gets credit should get credit for anything but Thomas Hatsis tries to falsely assign blame not credit but blame wrongly assigning blame Tyonna irvin’s Jan Irvin when in fact that blame is rightly directed at Carl Ruck’s and Carl Ruck’s @that’s correct and at John Rush
And connect those two topics of assigning credit and assigning blame rightly and specifically together with the middle topic of equating visionary plants with specifically mushroom trees as announced by Erwin Panofsky in 1952 connect that with the third topic which is my introduction and conclusion of my branching message Mushroom trees article explaining the motives of stability motif and Branching Mushroom motif and handedness motif and non-branching motif and explain how those motives map to the developmental model of the mental world model developing from a child immature mental model of control and in world to an adult mature mental model of control in world.
Announcement: Wasson Wrote the Published-1986 Persephone’s Quest Passage about Changing His View, in 1952
(not in 1968), or whenever the very first time he ever wrote about Genesis Eden tree or the Plaincourault Fresco
It is actually very simple and I made it pretty mistake I made a pretty mistake and mistaken 2006
clearly it had to be long before the 1968 book SOMA, because he wrote in Persephone’s quest it has been he wrote ” I have not thought about Genesis Eden tree since I was a child and now I thought about the genesis Eden tree for the first time since I was a child.”
logically then, this is quite simple !
when did Wasson first think about
Wasson says this is the first time I have written about or thought about Genesis Eden tree since I was a child — we know that he was standing at the Plaincourault Fresco in June 1952 , and that he wrote with letters to Erwin Panofsky about the Fresco in May 1952 , which would necessarily mean — as an sane person would agree —
dup as backup of broken app:
Wasson says this is the first time I have written about or thought about Genesis Eden tree since I was a child — we know that he was standing at the Plaincourault Fresco in June 1952 , and that he wrote with letters to Erwin Panofsky about the Fresco in May 1952 , which would necessarily mean — as an sane person would agree –that Wasson must have thought about the genesis Eden tree when he was discussing the Plaincourault Fresco
that Wasson must have thought about the genesis Eden tree when he was discussing the Plaincourault Fresco
it is impossible to discuss the Plaincourault Fresco without thinking about the Genesis Eden text
therefore it quite it is very simple to prove that this passage must have been written in the era when Wasson visited and discussed the Plaincourault Fresco, 1952.
so now it is very simple: we can definitely date when he wrote the Persephone’s quest passage: it is whatever date that he first wrote anything about the Genesis 2 & 3 Eden text or the Plaincourault fresco.
QED!
initial writing of this secn:
Also very interesting I have pushed back this is an Errata correction of my 2006 article and a correction of Jan Irvin 2008 book.
My 2006 argument doesn’t quite reach coherence.
When did Wasson write the passage in the 1986 book Persephone’s Quest? The correct answer is before May 12, 1952 — whatever date that he first wrote anything about the Genesis 2 & 3 Eden text or the Plaincourault fresco.

The 3 motifs, {branching-message mushroom trees}, {handedness}, and {non-branching} motifs (+ {stability}), can be explained by interpreting them as depictions of mental worldmodel transformation from transformation from possibilism to eternalism, literalist ordinary-state possibilism with autonomous control to analogical psychedelic eternalism with dependent control, driven by control instability loss of control and reconfiguration of mental worldmodel of control,

What does Irvin say about “where did Allegro get the idea of msh in Christianity?”
Not from Wasson, who only showed the fresco, nothing else later than Genesis 2-3 in the Bible text.
Allegro got research not mainly from Wasson, but mainly from Ramsbottom mycologist 1925-1953+, and Robert Graves, per Irvin.

Combine this with Segment 2 [27:11-32:16] – Good 5-minute Abstract of my branching-message mushroom trees article’s thesis.
1:10:41 – My Conclusion of my branching-message mushroom trees article.
According to this developmental model of the mind’s mental worldmodel of control-in-world,
The developmental model of the mind from immature form to mature form is specifically, according to this model, child to adult mode, from 1 way of thinking to a different.
Given we have two sides/ L & R limbs, in visual art we can use handedness to represent the two ways of thinking.
It’s easy to visually represent L & R limb of tree and body and animals, and it’s easy to visually represent the concept of branching contrasted with non-branching.
So here’s an arbitrary mapping of the intermediate analogy motifs:
non-arb: branching & non-branching
arb whether map to L or to R, but the key is, there are only two, contrasted directions. Also it’s a flexible mapping bc everyone knows it’s arbitrary. But everyone knows the important thing is, there’s two, and they are opposed.
2 degrees of abstraction: {handedness}; {left limb} vs. {right limb} 1 degree of abstraction: {non/branching}; {branching} vs. {non-branching} Ultimate referent pair: possibilism vs. eternalism.
so: {handedness} motif –> {non/branching} motif –> possibilism vs. eternalism
read –> as “refers to” or “describes by analogy, “
Now add in the TRANSITION DRIVER: Ultimate referent: transformation from possibilism to eternalism.
1:11:39 this mapping of the … We can then say in images: this mapping of the earlier mental worldmodel to the Left limb, and the later mental worldmodel to the Right,
An interesting major characteristic of the initial mental worldmodel is that when you employ that mental worldmodel when on pscilocybin, when we assert and exert and employ that model when in loose cognition from psilocybin, [1:12:10] there is control instability, loss of control , panic, flames, fire, monsters, demons torment,
so we want to communicate and depict moving from one mental worldmodel to the other, and we want to indicate that that transformation process is driven by control instability. so we have motifs then to represent control stability – IT SEEMS LIKE THAT’S A MISSING MOTIF, BECAUSE TWO MOTIFS IN MY TITLE COVER “BRANCHING”, BUT CONTROL STABILITY MOTIF ISN’T MENTIONED IN MY ARTICLE TITLE:
add to title the {stability} motif: [done]
{tower, weighing balance, flames} (mean the threat and in some sense, the actuality of loss of control), and a transformation of control from autonomous control, like king, to dependent control, like guy being held up by the right hand by God’s hand coming from the cloud.
dependent control and stable column base, weighing balance, balancing in tree, balancing on right foot, tower, cathedral construction, [continued in next clip]

1:13:15 – (VOX_TK_4877) Summarizing the motifs including: and stable column base, weighing balance, flames, balancing in tree, balancing on right foot, stable column base, tower, cathedral building.
