Rush of Discovery, 2026: God Displays Non-Branching Thumb and Visually Cut Branching Fingers from Cloud

Planned Accidental Lucky Earned Discovery; Genius-Level Dumb Luck

Planned discovery, since when I like a week ago was getting a lot of confirmation of hand shapes from f107, it was obvsious and completely predictable.

Since I looked at hand shapes a lot since Brown emails (Mar. 21, 2022: {branching-message mushroom trees}; Feb. 9, 2023: finger shapes and object shapes in St. Martin Church)

Of course I knew that discovering that key (Feb. 9: 2023: finger shapes are important — but I’m thinking of a recent f107 analysis that drove home and locked in a superior reading of the variety of hand shapes especially in Great Canterbury Psalter.

That ~Jan 27 2026 deepening of confirmation that hand finger shapes are MAJOR significance, not minor, would inherently of course inevitably unlock my next round (now) of starting to re-inventory all hands in Great Canterbury Psalter.

Feb. 9, 2023: Decoded Finger Shapes in Entry into Jerusalem in St. Martin Church

Jan. 29, 2026

• Mar. 21, 2022 – discovered/ developed/ comprehended concept of {branching-message mushroom trees}
• Feb. 9, 2023 (10.5 months later) – discovered/ developed/ comprehended concept of finger-shapes, and the particular… generalization of objects forming branching or non-branching.
• I doubt I had any concept of finger shapes until the dispute about “Jesus is clearly handing out mushrooms” (far from accurate, by John Rush), or Julie Brown “I will only report what I see, I swear [to hide the fact she totally makes sh*t up]. I see that the caps have been painted over.” ie, there are no caps.
• I see Maxwell’s electromagnetic equations have been painted over in this 1200 freso. What a self-contradiction, not the only one.

Lyrics: Discovery, Rush, 1976

What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It’s got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?

See how it sings like a sad heart
And joyously screams out its pain
Chords that build high like a mountain
Or notes that fall gently like rain

I can’t wait to share this new wonder
The people will all see its light
Let them all make their own music
The priests praise my name on this night

“https://egodeaththeory.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/canterbury-f177-whole-image-looking-lines.jpg” weird bug, when nuked file and re-uploaded in March, it got re-created in a Feb dir 🤷‍♂️

Left Side, Looking-Lines Connecting Items

specific point realized 11:02 pm Jan 3 2025:

row 1: looking at nonbranching and balanced held by right arm, so that non-branching maps to held balanced by right arm
maps (at high level) to:
row 2: looking at scale balance + looking at ram weight on left foot, equating stand left foot maps to balance scale & death

Therefore the meta level connection is:
row 1: non-branching maps to held balanced by right arm
is like
row 2: stand left foot maps to balance scale & death

so non-branching = balance (ie viable control)

Lines and boxes:

• Row 1 left, white box & line: non-branching crown is looked at by horses
• Row 2 middle, white box & line: God holding Higher level controller holding guy balanced by right arm, weight on right foot
• Row 1, blue line connects {non-branching} with viable/balanced {2-level, dependent control}
• Row 2, blue line connects {stand left foot}, {branching}, & {flames destroying} to {balance}
• Middle: Vertical red line maps {standing weight on right foot} & {viable balance held up by right arm} to ego death corpse
• Red line angled: connects standing viably on right foot vs. ram standing on left foot burnt up by monster flames hell-mouth furnace.
• 3 small white boxes on 3 cross-unders: right limb of both trees is visually cut; left (wrong) limb of corpse is visually cut.

where that pic went missing:

Row 1 Panel 2: Balance Right Foot Held up by Right Hand by God

v2, with YI Branching-Shape Indicators on Each Hand or Foot

v2, No Swirling Ground

Features:

• Left foot: 5 toes are all branching same, = branching but no indicator of non-branching.
• Right foot: big toe diverges, = IY.
• Left hand: Fingers only; branching without non-branching.
• Right hand: IY; adds non-branching to branching.
• God’s Right hand: thumb displayed (non-branching); fingers (branching) are negated to express non-branching, by being visually cut.
• Toes are shown in order to depict toe morph’y; a contrast of branching or non-branching between L foot & R foot.
• Contrast unintelligent uncomrpeheniding uncomprehending previous joke about toes: CLEARLY THE TOES ARE MUSHROOMS = proof that psychedelics (ergot LSA) were the “key” (Muraresku) in mystery religions.

6:52 p.m. Jan. 29, 2026 – horses looking at God’s hand now becomes more articulated and specific, what the horses are thinking. Comprehend meaning of God’s thumb and visually cut fingers, and the IY hand. And the other hands and feet.

old March 2022 capture – is it bright, or dull?

when did library fix their colors? let’s settle this, need to collect that data/answer.

In fact, I will even waste server space w png instead of jpg to do fair test to answer this.

Conclusion: My fresh capture (png) is no brighter than the March 2022 uploaded png.

So, it appears that the library fixed their colors between Nov. 2020 & March 2022.

Left: Botched Cross-Under of Mushroom Tree & Awkward Right Ram Leg Hidden Under Border

Exactly 100% cut/mis-aligned. Helps indicate it’s deliberate. Errata: I initially claimed maybe on Egodeath Mystery Show that it’s 50% misaligned. No; more interestingly, it is exactly 100% mis-aligned.

The “perfectly botched” cross-under produces/achieves a form of {cut right trunk} and {cut branch}.

This is a {cut right branch} and a {non-branching branch} and a {cut branch} and a {cut right branch}.

Compare the 3 trees in f177 regarding this region of cutting.

Mushroom tree has deliberately botched cross-under.

Row 2 shroud: Right arm/wrist is not hidden of Shroud; in ego death, non-branching reality is visible/ unveiled.

Guy on right of row 2 Middle holding shroud, left hand hides right foot, key tree Y hides I cross-under (branching hides non-branching reality), 2 rams have hidden right foot, he looks at the 2 ram hidden “true” right feet and the key tree’s I branch (“true” branch’s) cross-under veiled by Y branch.

Artist clearly choose to evidently choose to hide some right feet of … showed one ram’s right foot to prove the the other two (most of them) are intentionally/ meaningfully hidden/veiled.

More below, I’m keeping it at the place where discovered b/c solution came from the rams section down there, hidden rams feet problem, why most but not all right feet hidden (very artificially by artist; awkward = meaningful).

Row 1: awkward cross-under.

Row 2: awkward ram #3’s right foot under border.

Visible right wrist hiding left, centered on the stable tower. Seeing the veiled non-branching right-hand limb, makes stable control.

Hands crossed over: in the egodeath state, the right limb is no longer obscured by the left. It makes sense that the crossed arms are a focal point of meaning. guy on right: Though his left hand hides the right foot, he’s looking at the 3 cross-unders (2 rams, simple key tree’s I branch). So he is “right-i-fied”. Wrapped person then has:

• right shoulder hidden by right hand so that’s OK.
• right wrist visible so that is GOOD.
• right angle hidden by left hand but owner is looking at 3 cross-unders so that’s OK.

Motivation for this Page

I needed proper words in the URL. The title and URL needs general-purpose key words.

This is the official page containing all my crops of f177. I should add my nutshell interpretations like at my Key Mythemes catalog.

I Almost Halted and Published Only the Isolated Mushroom/Standing Panels

I Almost Gave Up after Solved Just Two Panels – But 5 More Days of Hard Work Solved Entire Image

todo: check/confirm how many days to solve Row 1 panels 1-2, vs. now completed at [10:56 p.m. March 11, 2023] (my grand finale was tons of white lines & blue boxes).

[Est. timestamp for the following: 11 a.m. March 11, 2023]:

I remembered the one other missing point I wanted to add in this post:

again I will say

I was only going to include only the upper left part of this image in my 2023 article branching message mushroom trees

this was so pathetic, it is so sad to hear me but my plan was to only include the upper left, because I gave up way too soon I gave up way too easily.

I really felt the tide turn when I started thinking in terms of applying my grid analysis technique.

If I break up this image into panels — but be careful, you need to include some two-panel crops as well — certainly you’re not so stupid that you’re unable to say anything?!

come on , you’ve got to say something about each panel; don’t just give up, like Terrence McKenna!

It was pretty fkking hard — but my grid technique is very powerful. my magical tool from the gods, like the diamond hammer of interpretation.

🔨💎🪄

There is no hope, its too hard 😭😭 it will take YEARS to decode this image !!

in his 1994 book food of the gods , he says “do not under any circumstances open your eyes and attempt to look and see mushrooms in our own religion

they’re not there

don’t look

give up

instead you need to morally grandstand about how you are superior to that awful big bad church

that’s the important thing is to elevate yourself above it

that’s what it’s all about

That is what our mission and objective needs to be , he tells us — not, what strategy is going to be effective to repeal prohibition

no he doesn’t care about that

he pushes us to adopt the most anti-strategic , defeatist, Self-defeating, give up, don’t even try at all mentality

just declare defeat from the beginning, make that our brand, and commit to that position of defeat, permanent commitment to permanent defeatedness

that is McKenna’s Strategy For Repealing Psilocybin Prohibition

thanks a fkking lot McKenna

with allies and leaders like these, who even needs prohibitionist opponents?

defeat is built right into Terrence McKenna’s attitude:

That was my immediate reaction as soon as I got his book maybe 2004 and read it: I was shocked at his defeatism, I knew he was completely wrong.

I knew it because look at the religious mythology: you can tell there’s Psilocybin mushrooms effects depicted all throughout; it’s all about analogies describing Psilocybin mushroom effects — so there’s no way that they could’ve been removed there’s every sign of them, Psilocybin mushrooms.

It’s right in the religious mythology.

“Announcement: I have now will have decoded the image, congratulations, what a relief , I am so glad to have will have decoded it 🎉🎉” 🤨

My enthusiasm for seeing a way through that WOULD surely enable me to decode the image led me to strangely post a misleading post title 5 days ago: worded a bit prematurely; future pov: “Decoded Entire 4-Horses Image (Canterbury Psalter)”

In that post, https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/03/06/decoded-entire-4-horses-image-golden-psalter/

my most memorable standout line (showing what status the post is about) was “see previous Bubble post for the strategy – clearly its in the bag“.

Row 2 Right Buildings

Row 2 Middle Right

addl note [10:07 a.m. March 11, 2023] I am glad and satisfied to see fortunately (this is a relief) the two bags are at the same angle!

which proves that whatever he’s putting in the Thomas Hatsis honorary potato lockbox is the same thing as we are weighing out 5 g of dried french fries for Thomas Hatsis as his reward for his excellence in historiographer historiographical methodology excellence.

HERE YOU GO HATSIS 🎉🎉

🏆🏆🥔🥔🥔🍟🍟🍟🥇🏅

I was celebrating having found an attitude and strategy that would certainly enable me to, near future, come up w something to note on all panels of the image.

NOW I can accurately actually speak in past tense, that I have solved this Puzzle #2 image. It feels exactly like I have completed a video game Eadwine designed.

I wonder now how many panels in Great Canterbury Psalter are like this puzzle quality?

I sure have new eyes now to look at the images in Great Canterbury Psalter now that I am thoroughly conversant with how to read two full Eadwine images. f134 & f177

Largely the solution to this puzzle was ITS THE EYES AIMING!!

eg with the shroud ego-dead person, the trick is to look at the EYE DIRECTION of lifters, not at their bodies only.

Same as horses, its not about the horses, its about the object of — target that they are looking at.

Then cancel horses out and instead draw line between the two targets they are looking smiling at.

Ignore lookers & Draw lines connecting the looked-at items.

In shroud person case, looking connects again two– wow good idea, meta the above lines: draw lines [8:40 a.m. March 11, 2023] between the 4 items being pointed to by the horses and ego dead lifters of the Psilocybin clinic guides.

Equating those pointed-to targets. Those are:

• blue lone nonbranching cap of msh tree
• God’s right hand holding his standing srlf control from falling over LOSING BALANCE, God level of control prevents losing balance falling into the sacrifice monster chute (I have to develop my explanation of how balance of control is saved by being made to sacrifice anamial shorn rams)
• pink key tree topic of {branching contrasted with non-branching} (that we move from branching ie possibilism to non- ie eternalism )
• the balance-balance guy but especially the crutch and [combined with like a minus sign] stability of left (“?!!?”) heel on column base

in summary: looking-targets means:

non-branching (eternalism instead of possibilism) = stable balance of control in advanced high dose Psilocybin

now I’m in the state of scouring for anything i missed, and, quite hard is clearly discussing how exactly the dynamics of repudiating animal thinking sacrificing child-thinking works

including Egodeath.com instructions section on how to self-threaten to demonstrate/ test/ put on trial/ put to the test, cybernetic eternalism

Row 2 Left

this next panel by itself is not adequate for some purposes– MUST do some MULTI-PANEL CROPS, is a lesson-learned takeaway:

Row 2 Panel 2

why the exact number of columns, what is purpose of each column? metaperception layer?? bc they are looking through the solid columns IN BOTH ROWS Of looking-pairs.

Refers to (by analogy) levels of abstraction in perception?

It took too long to perceive the two guys looking right: stop looking at THEM and look at their EYES exactly as if “look at the moon, not the finger pointing at the moon”.

If Eadwine drew a man pointing, would you stare only at the man pointing, or wouldnt u pay attn to “whats he pointing at?” !!

who would be so dense for the past 3 days? 😞

Row 1 Right

the Egodeath community WHAT R THEY LOOKING AT

u r supposed to look at that & connect the targets of looking eg left tree like right tree, and right leg of rightly standing guy not losing his balance of control stability on high dose Psilocybin from the Hatsis “a naturalistic reading is always neutral and correct” potato reward lockbox

here u go, Mr. Naturalistic:

🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔

Here is the kind of reward your “We Historians’ Methodology” deserves.

as i wrote at very start of this site Oct 2020: you dumb and dense committed mushroom rejectors, FOR YOU, IT IS INDEED POTATOES, u r so right, good for you.

Row 1 Left with Winnowing Basket

the point is: right side guy WHAT IS HE LOOKING AT??? and not shown–

here is a bit of a new idea 914 am a.m. March 11, 2023] A new angle we have multiple pairs I’m thinking and it’s increasing as I talk, the number the count is increasing:

how many places in this picture do you have a pair of people who are looking at two different things?

row one middle of which you only see the left hand guy above, that serves to conjoin the two different things , the targets of what they are looking at

A LOOKER PAIR, how many in this– 9:16 am OH! a name for this image: THE LOOKER-PAIRS IMAGE

• horses
• ego-dead lifters (row 2 middle-left) Psilocybin AUTHENTICALLY, ACTUALLY QUALIFIED session guides
• the pointless loiterers (row 1 middle)
• the Egodeath community (row 1 right)

Left Tall: Standing on Right Leg, Chute, Shorn Rams and Monster Furnace

point: show rightly standing guy & monster sacrifice child-thinking chute

Is he not looking at the tree?!

am I insane?? 🤯

🖼🔍🔬🧐

Am i seeing things, like Julie “X-ray Vision” Brown following in John Rush’s bad-influence footsteps “Here we are clearly being shown mushrooms clearly being handed out” (in the entry into Jerusalem scene in Saint Martin church).

And re: the Great Canterbury Psalter “God Creates Plants” famous image:

“Jesus holds” — I think even Jerry Brown maybe makes this mistake this big mistake of saying

I don’t know who I don’t know who all makes this mistake but

“Jesus[sic] is gesturing at the Mushrooms inviting us to ingest the mushrooms” and “God Holds an object, probably a mushroom, in his hand”– but the image clearly in fact shows that God’s hand is completely empty

but when you take the same hallucinogens that these scholars are taking, then you can clearly see it

Row 2 Right: Lockbox

Row 2 Left: Panel 2 & 3

Row 2 Left, Panel 2 & 3, with Looking-Lines

Historical note; ie how the discovery sequence went:

notice how this was itself a breakthrough just seeing this one guy in isolation looking by the way through the column he’s looking through the column so we might have meta-perception

just this one recognition that he is looking at this tree is a big deal, that’s a big breakthrough — but I had not yet connected, I had not yet even thought of asking: what about the left-hand guy:

what is the left-hand guy looking at?

and ultimately in the end, after it occurs to me to draw more lines, finally the whole picture unfolds and I perceive and recognize the entire intended set of looking lines.

and then ultimately a few minutes ago above, I realized that the entire image is largely characterized by the the grouping of these pairs of people looking at different targets, so as to connect all of those targets.

Row 2 Right: Lockbox, Buildings

Here is where I started to figure out that the the three tower mushroom caps the round Towers all of them indicate stability and so we are being shown a big building, but the little tower next to it is saying “the point of this building is stability” just like the other two tower buildings

connector usage of motifs

and an interesting John Rush point:

yes indeed of course all of the mushroom cap towers with the top that looks like a mushroom cap , of course it’s a given that they all do mean mushrooms — but you haven’t , you have not explained very much yet.

Because the point of this art genre is not mushrooms

so you really have not finished ; you’ve barely begun, you have barely begun to explain the image when you say that these are mushrooms these mean mushroom caps the top of the towers mean mushroom caps

well you have not actually explained the image yet.

The ultimate reference of the image is not mushrooms or mushroom caps.

in fact you’ve just barely begun because the question is:

what are the Mushroom caps being used to teach us about Psilocybin effects?

THAT is the REAL question not merely Jerry Brown’s dead end project of trying to make a database for scholars to debate whether this imagery means mushrooms or not

that is not the challenge that we have

the real, more further, more-developed challenge is:

what is the mushroom imagery being used to communicate???

That is where the true difficult big-brain work is that I’ve been doing.

all of that work is opened up by the given assumption that all of this artwork — like John Rush says — all religious art means mushrooms — but you’ve only gotten started at that point; congratulations, you’ve begun playing the game

The game is not “spot the mushroom” or Thomas hatsis debate whether it is a Mushroom or not

this is not it is not about debating whether it is a Mushroom or not

and that was the game that Jerry Brown was still thinking that he’s playing

he’s thinking he’s still playing the infantile beginner-level game of “spot the mushroom” (meaning, of course, kiddie Amanita 🍄 ) 😞

but I am doing the advanced level, next-level, which is:

If you are looking for Amanita as if that is “mushrooms”, that immediately indicates that you were at a beginner infantile childish beginner level of playing the game

If you are looking for Amanita as if that is “mushrooms” — Hatsis admits & advocates doing exactly, literally this, to the full extreme;

he tells me that Brown and I are not allowed to assert Psilocybin; that we are being inconsistent and self contradictory, and we are not allowed to leave the John Allegro jail cell which Hatsis has ensconced himself in.

I hasten to emphasize:

I never was in that cell. — in extreme contrast to Thomas Hatsis , who still says his favorite book is sacred mushroom and the cross (don’t know why; it’s not that great of a book) —

I never was a follower of Allegro,

I never even heard of him until after I had finished my core theory,

And when I finally got his book, I was just disappointed — except for the part of no historical Jesus and I followed that up through other authors: Freke & Gandy, whose book The Jesus Mysteries is WAY, WAY better than SMC.

I am not “leaving Allegro”, because I never started from allegro!! or “considerable departures from”, to quote John Lash’s equivalent confused as hell , projection wording.

My thinking is certainly not a “departure from”; I have never “departed from” Allegro, and I most certainly never “departed from” being a follower & worshipper of the false god Wasson, like Hatsis and Lash stupidly assume everyone is, just like them.

Stop projecting your stupid intellectual autobiography trajectory onto me!!

I did not “come from Allegro”; in 0% does my theory come from allegro.

Or from Wasson, for that matter, John Lash: Wasson your god and idol can SUCK IT, John Lash!

my first involvement with incorporating coverage of Wasson into my theory was to write a 64-page article saying how he’s totally full of shiite and contradicts himself constantly,

and i accused him in 2006 of withholding what pathetically nonexistent citations of art historians covering pilzbaum.

Citation Fkking Needed!!

A single book, that Panofsky calls “little”, 50 years outdated by the time of the 1952 letter [excuse me, LETTERS], 117 years outdated now; only 86 pages (see the present website); no one bothered to translate it from German to English; and it’s got the word pilzbaum only five times?!

this is pathetic!! is this is all you got ha ha ha ha

where are the art historians’ allegedly, supposedly claim and pretend “we have thoroughly discussed and thoroughly published and written and studied exhaustively all about these mushroom trees”

GREAT, THEN LETS SEE IT–

It’s bizarre

why didn’t the entire world yell at Wasson “great I’m glad to hear that Panofsky covered that’s good news where is the books?”

where are the books?

we’re really looking forward to looking at these books

why didn’t the whole world get interested and look into it and investigate ??

where was the pushback?

did everybody just cave, what the hell?!

The first thing I ever wrote or thought about Wasson, when I deigned and stooped and lowered myself to acknowledging his existence, was to tell him and Panofsky the art historians:

bullsht!! you did not do any of that!

where is the fkking citation?!

where is the goddmn citations — and it better be a huge, towering stack of citations of your coverage.

it needs to be at least as tall as the tottering tower of Carl Ruck books

the adult game is psilocybin little brown mushrooms

given that every one of them means mushrooms, then what???

and in fact that was precisely the theme of the first book review that was posted which was my book review the first review of Jerry Brown’s book made exactly the point:

yes they are all mushrooms, so what,

now what, what’s next??

where do we go with this fact

Row 2 Middle Wide

In this crop (last night or the turn of the day beginning of the day midnight)…

The scope of this crop was to include both of the targets the both of the ego-dead lifters are looking at, to group them and ultimately to connect those two targets.

Super ultimately, to connect all 4, 5, 6 … targets of all of the looking pairs

I guess I have to pay tax to John Rush now that I’m drawing confusing lines on blurry Internet images pointing to things that I still have no idea what John Rush, what the hell am I supposed to be looking at in this picture?

this is terrible communication, it’s completely confusing, I have no idea what you’re even talking about

The John Rush Experience 🎸

Alas I know that you all know what I am talking about about this experience:

” great !!! a wonderful new book, ton of mushroom pictures, right? uh… what the hell am I even looking at here??”

Row 2 Middle Right: Balance

Confusingly — it really kept me on my toes trying to explain how I knew when I had the correct reading of the lame left leg of

The very challenging thing here is the left heel is being shown as stable , which is a self-contradiction.

Everyone knows that left leg means unstable self control during psilocybin , so why are we being shown left heel as being stable??

That doesn’t make sense.

but then you look at his crutch Which serves t

he best analogy I have is that it serves as a negative sign

but I don’t like the way that I jump from saying “the crutch is like a negative sign “, and then I bring in this idea of the lame left leg , and then I say “there I have clearly explained how the left heel , which means not stable, means stable”

then this feels like it too rough, too jumpy and rough of a way of explaining it then too suddenly I bring in the motif of the lame left leg, which everybody is thoroughly familiar with from king Oedipus

so I am still working, laboring to clarify how can you use the unstable left heel to represent stable control

so I spoke for an hour in my voice recording last night about that, trying to smooth out that explanation

I hope that I have captured all of my thoughts that arose while posting this quick short little one minute re-announcement

Pointless Loiterers Problem

Man this is lame I still don’t have a crop of the pointless loiterers if you look at the pointless loiterers I just noticed something that because I’ve been analyzing their hands of course I’ve been analyzing their fingers a lot and covering the hands of revealing and showing the hands well I just noticed something something

10:49 a.m. March 11, 2023] The guy who’s looking left is showing his hand and left and the guy in the middle of showing both hands aimed in two directions, and the guy on the right is aiming his hand to the right hand tree

the mindset just now, the mindset that I used to perceive that was:

imagine that they are subtle agents standing on the street corner, and they give the appearance that they’re not doing anything, but actually they are messaging: they are signaling; they are sending a signal through their eyes… [BUT WAIT: THERES MORE!!] 🔪🔪

The Pointless Loiterers are Subtle Pointers

👈 👈👉 👉

But the moment that I took that perspective (more vividly than before) a minute ago, I then realized: I looked at their hands, and then I saw the pattern of the meaningless–

the problem (considered the past cpl days) was that there was no meaning in their hands, of which hands they were showing.

but I just realized that as signal– is

their function is to signal looking in this direction — or looking — [then ⚡️it struck me]:

or pointing by revealing which hand (??!!)

As is often the case, perhaps as is typically the case, I am not fully confident yet about hands as pointing, it is still the initial “am I crazy” phase

🤔 🤔 🖼🔬🔍🧐

I am still at the phase called “am I crazy, or could it be??”, that we have found and identified a function, a purpose for which hand is being shown??

and then what usually happens, what normally happens is, I make a few little corrections: I didn’t quite get the angle quite right,

but then soon this hypothesis, this scientific explanatory hypothesis then becomes tested as a network-integrated connections over the next days.

and then after this proceeds for a couple of weeks, then it becomes an obvious fact:

of course they’re pointing with their hands, are you dull?

of course they’re pointing

obviously they’re pointing with their eyes , this is all well-established fact, that you can then build on for further decoding of additional images.

Pointless Loiterers Redux

[12:39 a.m. March 11, 2023] addendum – i just tra Realized that by discovering a few minutes ago the symmetry of the three loiterers left both right left hand both hands right hand this gives them a distinct boundary of that function because yesterday I had been puzzling over there’s no difference between the ego death community roll one right versus the pointless loiterers row 1 middle.

I do not think that this is a big functional difference, but it is a very distinct very identifiable difference– I know!! 12:46 pm — I think I’ve got it — the Egodeath community crowd represents the viewers audience solving the puzzle, whereas the pointless loiterers are to be considered as part of the art to be decoded. 🎉🎉🏆

this explains — if I recall from memory — one of the columns, because I asked yesterday: what exactly is the specific function of each column? 🤔🤔

YI!!

Why the Crowd Has No Legs

I just [11:47 p.m. March 11, 2023] solved a mystery of why the crowd has no legs, extend / build on my solution (build on/ network on) my realization that the crowd = people represents viewers of the art, whereas Row 1 middle is part of the art for the viewer to analyze – different levels of art/viewing being represented.]

The new aspect/ connection now is (this is “building out network connections” per Paul Thagaard) answers something I puzzled over the past couple days:

Why no legs – because we mostly are not to apply same analysis to them … they don’t participate that way in this image; the are “outside the image”, functionally, mostly, relatively.

The crowd doesn’t have legs, in order to remove them mostly from the referent features main features to be analyzed.

There is only one hand displayed in the crowd of “viewers of this image”: the apprehensive viewer …. compare the self-threatening psalter viewer inso far as he’s “meta”, shown viewing the psalter.

Items [13]

From Broken Table 1 of Timmermann article “Psychedelics Alter Metaphysical Beliefs”

Physicalist Beliefs (true; good; right-thinking 👍) [5]

Materialism

There is just one primary reality: the physical; the mind (and/or consciousness) is just physical/functional properties of the brain and has an entirely material explanation.

Naturalism

The universe obeys a unifying principle which is (in theory) completely addressed by a material or scientific explanation.

Internalism about consciousness

My conscious experience is entirely a construction of reality performed by my brain.

Virtual self theory

My ‘self ’ is entirely a construction of my brain.

Enactivist approach to consciousness

My experience and my ‘self ’ are deeply rooted in my body and its interactions with the world and not the sole construction of my brain.

Non-Physicalist Beliefs (false; bad; deluded 👎) [8]

Ontological transcendentalism

There exists another separate realm or dimension beyond this physical world that can be experienced or visited.

Supernatural transcendentalism

Visiting such immersive “realms” or “worlds” can sometimes depend on a supernatural / magical transition process or event.

Dualism

There are two separate realms of existence, the physical (body, brain and external world) and the mind, the latter being non-physical/non-material.

Idealism

There is just one primary reality: the mind and/or consciousness and all material things derive from it.

Primacy of other realms

There are other realms of existence which are more important than everyday reality.

Non-naturalism

The universe obeys a unifying principle which is beyond any possible material or scientific explanation.

Solipsism/Idealism

The physical world is an illusion generated by consciousness or the mind.

Panpsychism

Mind, consciousness, or soul is a fundamental quality of all things in the universe, either animate or inanimate.

Relation to FAD-Plus – “Free Will and Determinism Questionnaire” (Paulhus 2011)

It’s clear from the Items outline headings above. The article that presents MBQ is Timmermann & Letheby 2021: Psychedelics Alter Metaphysical Beliefs.

The latter two words of the article’s title present the q’air name: the MBQ = Metaphysical Beliefs Questionnaire, which consists of … x Physical items, y non-Phy, 4 of 7 and 5 of 5 of FAD-Plus’s items.

MBQ incorps — as described in the barely-linked at very bottom, Supplement separate doc : __ —

MBQ incorps its own Figure 1 table list of about 12 (allegededed, defined by Letheby; be skeptical) “the entire range of views” (pff! as if)

I shall now assess whether you had a Complete [Newbie] Mystical Experience[TM] [according to Walter Stace/ Timothy Leary/ Walter Pahnke/ William Richards/ and totally trustworthy Mr. Mystical Meditation Therapy Griffiths

In Timmerman article, section “Measures”:

Letheby’s article about FAD contains a table of all the ordinary-state based epistemology positions, as if that’s the options for metaphysics positions in “Philosophy of Psychedelics”:

Closeted Mystical Anti-Mystics Letheby & Pollan: The “Persecution Because Disowned Projection” Dynamic

[9:55 a.m. March 10, 2023] – right wing of angel touches (enlightens) Balaam’s left side of head

Regarding Letheby’s q’air factor “Non-Physicalist Beliefs (false; bad; deluded 👎) “, which he equates with “classical mystical effects” (that’s bad, false, & deluded, he pointedly repeats)

In this video, Letheby tells how he wants to divorce the supernaturalist idealist mystical aspects of MEQ — the “high classical mystical” aspects “that James and Stace mean”, into a far-separated new q’air, in which he has no interest: the Mystical Delusions Questionnaire (MDQ), I’d call it.

What does he propose that the two new q’airs are called, when we split MEQ into two? Like:

• MEQ-True: the True/Not Really Mystical effects (approved by Letheby).

• MEQ-False: vs. the False/Mystical effects; the “classical mystical Wm James/ Walter Stace type mystical effects” Letheby says.

“Please get this mystical shiite junk (that I always held during trips and 3am trip discussions with psychedelic enthusiast friends) far away from me as possible!”

In 2001 (see “Balaam” at Egodeath Yahoo Group or the copy at Egodeath.com), I identified what almost no Bible scholar admits, that Balaam on the path to curse the Israelites is the clearly the model for Paul’s road to Damascus, highly isomorphic.

Letheby on the Road to Eleusis to Curse the Psychedelic Mystics

Like Hatsis, persecutor of Disciplaei Allegroiea (that’s Latin 😑 ) & closeted #1 fan of Allegro (Reading Allegro Again (Hatsis 2015)).

It is the same dynamic: “I had classical Idealist Monism experiences ALL THE TIME and it was the position I ALWAYS TOOK during 3 am hangout with psychedelic enthusiasts, and this is why I’m on the lecture circuit 24×7 persecuting those awful, delusional Idealists.”

These “staunch atheists” are looking for God.

He’s looking for real metaphysical revelation, he’s looking for the Egodeath theory (the Theory of Psychedelic Cybernetic Eternalism).

Video: “metaphyscial epiphany” , “encounter with the ground of being or ultimate reality” — immediately says: “Michael Pollan takes an approach very similar to mine, a staunch naturalist materialist atheist”

Closeted religionist Pollan and closeted religionist Letheby, battling against themselves, these people are self-contradictions.

Mr. Self Contradiction.

Mr. Closeted, battling against his own shadows, it is escalating

He discusses this at 34:00 in
Chris Letheby: Philosophy of psychedelics and the comforting delusion objection
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhWsApK-09I&t=2040s –

Removing all of the classical mystic effects (he means non-Atheism, non-Psysicalism, non-Materialism) will leave Letheby holding the naturalistic spirituality questionnaire effects portion of MEQ.

So let’s inventory:

MEQ (from Timothy Leary & Walter Pahnke in 1962) following Walter Stace 1960, deletes all negative mystical effects from the historical archive (Charles Stang points this out).

Then Letheby deletes all the high classical mystical effect from MEQ, in his proposal to split MEQ into the good, non-mystical effects, and false, non-physical, classical mystical effects (and throw those into Hanegraaff’s Rejected wastebasket).

What are we left with? not sure, but a failed quest for Transcendent Knowledge. I know someone who knows:

The Main-Table Main Disaster

AHAHAHAHA They Royally F’d Up Poor Formatting of MBQ Items: Bolded and Non-Bolded the Wrong (Main!) Ones 😄 😄

– And Erred in Not Putting Name of Position in a Position Name Dedicated Column, and sort by Factor — wtf, Don’t you know how to use a basic table??

Everything is wrong (and error-spawning) with this formatting.

Whoever made this table had no idea what they were doing. Sort of like the authors of CEQ.

Why did Letheby greenlight this disaster?

The Item column is trying, and failing catastrophically, to convey 3 different, systematic pieces of information.

— not like I’m saying this article isn’t every bit as sound as the CEQ.

Learn to Table

Massive Errors in Rows with Red

(Bolding??? 🤦‍♂️ noooo this is not how you use a table)

TIP: don’t use bold to indicate categories; use text – for like 18 different reasons.

Amateur newbie error. Kinda like MEQ. And CEQ. And thinking that “unity” and “ego dissolution” = advanced enlightenment.

[what a pain, now i gotta straighten out their mess]

Can We Trust the Physicalists [easy one: No], Who Can’t Even Design a Basic Table, their Main Table in their Main Article?

(it’s really mixed up <sigh> fixy fixy fixy…)

By misapplying bold vs. plain (awful idea!! – in a table!) they:

Miscategorized Idealism into the Physicalist factor by not bolding it.

Miscategorized Materialism into the Non-Physicalist factor by bolding it.

Miscategorized Naturalism into the Non-Physicalist factor by bolding it.

IOW THEY PUT THEIR MAIN 3 MARKETING ITEMS IN THE WRONG, OPPOSED CATEGORY 😄 😄 😵 😵 ⚰️

Broken “Science” Can’t Even Communicate to Each Other What the Fkking Questionnaire Actually Is, WTF! Hand It Over!

as is customary, THEY NEVER GIVE US THE GODD*MN QUESTIONNAIRE, ONLY A BUNCH OF VERBIAGE AROUND IT WTF – sloppy, closed pseudoscience.

Even Johnson & Griffiths got totally confused about what the 11-Factors is (hell, no one can even agree the name of 11-Factors! by Studerus 2010).

WHAT A MESS!

Look Out CEQ, We’ve Got a New Contender for Bunkest Questionnaire!

11-Factors is poorly presented because they [“scientists” in this broken field] never just write a damn article that hands over the actual questionnaire.

So Johnson & Griffiths never got to SEE that 11-Factors is NOT 11 subscales, but rather, TWO high level dimensions:

“Unpleasant Experiences” is identical to “Dread (DED) 1994” ie 21 items (not just 7+6 = 13 = ICC + ANX);

“Pleasant Experiences” = Ocean + Visionary of OAV 1994)

plus 11 subscales PLUS two virtual subscales (13 subscales practically) — eg little detail, item 54, I was afraid to lose my self-control.

oopsie YOU FAILED ENTIRELY

OOPS accidentally dropped 8 of 21, leaving only 13 Dread items 🤷‍♂️

oops accidentally dropped 10 of those 13, 🤷‍♂️ leaving 3 items from Dread, which are just dups of other questionnaires (SOCQ, HRS) or vague meaningless “i had fear – you know, just like in ordinary state”.

And that is the sordid story of how CEQ entirely discarded the whole Dread dimension.

But it’s all good, because CEQ has been “VALIDATED” 😑

prophecy: Chris Letheby Will Turn, Repent, and Convert to Metaphysical Cybernetic Eternalism

ought to, he is smart , intelligent, not like certain derby bananas 🍌🛼

Be turned, renounce “God is a delusion, and metaphysical epiphany is a hallucination”

to do: timestamp where Letheby (still in his sin) utters these blasphemies

WystanTBS yt ch

he says, scattered spots eg -44:22, -38:03 “metaphysical epiphany is hallucination”

he says “there is no god, no gods” at:

i found some quotes

here is vid im thinking of at -45:30

why the hell does it show me remaining time, aggh yt broken

https://youtu.be/HEXfsils1hM –

i thought its the first thing he says in a video – in previous vid w 1 host guy.

As I remember it, Letheby in the above vid said all at once, happily,

my position is standard Naturalism …; belief in God is delusion, there’s no God; there are no gods; your metaphysical epiphany is a hallucination, …

Chris Letheby

He definitely says these things, across his videos, and quotes Michael Pollan 🤨 casually saying hardcore atheist shiite like this while reciting various positions

he quotes Epistemology / Metaphysics writers debating analytically in what ways to deny and disparage and insult beliefs or views or positions.

Letheby’s Critique of MEQ

He proposes splitting MEQ into:

bad kind: a high mysticism effects (= delusion, hallucination, supernatural mysticism, as if exoteric thinking) vs.

good kind: low mystm “spiritual unity experience” as if that is rational, sort of esoteric, sound, true mystic ie rational naturalistic spirituality. incl “a changed sense of self” per Metzinger

Stunted Psychedelic “Mysticism”

The Egodeath theory; the Theory of Psychedelic Cybernetic Eternalism effects mental worldmodel transformation of SELF AND WORLD, specifically from possibilism to eternalism, while connecting to & leveraging religious myth.

Metzinger then Letheby are striving to deliver stunted, beginner “mysticism” reduced to “refreshing the mental model of the self”.

There is exoteric junk to filter out, but must replace by good substance.

Letheby imagines that he’s dividing into two different mystical experience questionnaires, where one is all delusional supernaturalism, which he calls the kind of Mysticism which William James and Walter Stace expect.

And then he (applauded by Matthew Johnson) is trying to create a new definition: naturalistic type of spirituality, which removes everything supernatural, and “therefore” constitutes genuine authentic spirituality that is physical, material, naturalistic, and is all about “changing the mental model of the self” ;

that’s what they say: “changed mental model of the self”

vague and directionless. Their version of Mysticism they are engineering it’s neither this nor that it just

it’s not gonna go anywhere

it “could ” eventually go somewhere I guess;

can could might & also may

This is all distorted this is all beginner stunted dead end — it’s good that it’s not supernatural i guess: no it is not exoteric(?) but that does not mean that it is authentically esoteric either,

and they would hate and reject anything esoteric

they are right to get rid of exoteric supernatural magical thinking OK that’s good but this does not mean that they’re left with anything that has a clue and deserves to be called mystic.

they give us stunted version of naturalistic spirituality , and say it is a “change of the mental model of the self ” — which really adds up to nothing. Yaldabaoth . and malformed, unstable.

yes today’s psychedelic mysticism is bad and limited, but deleting the supernatural isn’t really going to solve anything; you just end up with stunted pseudo spirituality. 🤷‍♂️

Messenger and then Chris B after Matthew Johnson

Man this is a great idea for a whole dedicated posting

I’m really feeling resonant resonating

(Voice dictation not so much)

I agree that there is lower beginner mystic experiencing and advanced mystic experiencing

for example,

Unity nondual is beginner mystic experiencing

and so all of the explanations about ego dissolutions so called and Neuroplasticity , that’s all beginner-level mystic stuff, it’s all beginner. 🤷‍♂️

Metzinger’s Theory of “Changed Model of Self” Is as Far Beneath the Egodeath theory as Shanon’s Cog Phen’y

I reviewed and read the antipodes of the mind when it came out, and I was glad to see, as if to say that “the children are learning, taking their first fumbling steps in the right direction — good for them!”

This is their level of praise and endorsement that I do for Metzinger’s book. “i’m glad to see the beginner dipping their little toe in the water and beginning to look in the correct direction”

but I doubt that I thoroughly read his book.

why would I thoroughly read his book?

my work is light years ahead of him,

well I would read it in the same way–

I have read Ego Tunnel book in the same way that I read guitar equipment books:

let’s see what percentage that they’re leaving out:

is Metzinger leaving out 80% of basic Transcendent Knowledge?

are they leaving out 90% of the knowledge in this book?

it is highly insulting to me that if anyone were suggest or to suggest that I am obliged to cite Metzinger

what is the philosophy of citing people

he is not a writer before me

if I write something today, then yes he wrote his half-baked book before my current publication

I am the one who’s a head

I’m the leader re content potency

I was writing in 1996 more insightful treatment then he wrote in 2003 — check the years of his two books

https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/03/06/the-bubble-of-simulation-subjective-experience-as-a-virtual-environment-hoffman-1996/

together with my 1997 spec

When I point to guitar equipment books it it does not imply that I got my ideas from them; it’s really the reverse ; they read my website ( but poorly)

it gives the wrong impression that he is before me when in fact merely–

it gives the wrong impression that he is before me when in fact merely

his particular publication is before my present publication but I — as a theorist — am before Metzinger, by far.

Is the PhD dissertation supposed to cite the third grader’s article that was written last year? I guess I feel that messenger is too close to me I have no problem siding Brown I have no problem siding summer any but why it bothers me citing the Sterling mediocrity of Thomas Metzinger

his stupid ego tunnel, what a dumb limited idea UNLESS you read it as preexisting blk univ control- worldline.

this review pretty well expresses the limits of Metzinger’s message: http://www.words-and-dirt.com/words/review-thomas-metzingers-the-ego-tunnel/

sterling mediocrity that repeats commonplace ideas of the day & goes nowhere.

he partly overlaps the Egodeath theory

a decent start 🫤

not bad… not great. typical book 🤷‍♂️

nothing particularly valuable or insight-adding — had no impact on me (same as Shanon)

I applaud the antipodes of the mind; a much welcome cognitive approach , but no I didn’t get anything out of it ; it did not add anything to my knowledge

Puzzle Solved: Cleanly Describe These Three Trees’ Branching Morphology and You Get to Be Lifted Out of Rock Ossuary of Egodeath and Unlock the Weighed-Out Hatsis Potato 🥔🥔🥔 Vault by the Towering Transcendent Knowledge that Doesn’t Collapse – Ram-Powered Engine of Filtering

SOLUTION:

3 trees’ lower (primary) level: YI YI YI

2 trees’ upper level: (from memory): IY IY; YI IY YI

Tree Math Exercise

explain how you elaborate from pink key tree to finally 10-cap row 2 right. a cut branch = a cap.

in mathematical tree increasing complexity:

row 2 YI. 3 caps.

row 1 left YI. left branch Y : split each; becomes YI & YI but artist chooses to do “bad” handedness so IY IY. total 7 caps. bc each arm of Y became 3 caps not 1, increasing by 2 caps for each arm, x2 = 4 caps added. next, we’ll add another YI [IMPORTANT: in parallel, not upwards], which will add 3 (not 4) more caps (or cut br’s):

row 2 right: too hard to write up on mobile. LEFT AS EXERCISE FOR READER = 10 caps/ends. bc it puts the new added YI BESIDE the existing two YI’s. it does not build UP from 2nd tree; it builds out SIDEWAYS (parallel not series). so adds 3, not 4 caps/ends as stupid ppl 🥺 would predict and quietly delete their WRONG prediction 😞 Artist chose not YI YI YI, but YI IY YI, for upper level of this tree.

Q.E.D.

as already proved/ explained,

relying on right leg = right side of tree = non branching model = eternalism-thinking

vs possibilism-thinking, which is unstable/non-viable/ perishing) in Psilocybin state

{Lame Left Leg}

[8:25 a.m. March 9, 2023] omg do i got a big hit?! why guy w crutch?? 🤔🤔 left leg on stable base is wrong leg and weak but stable

8:33 a.m. – omg a follow-on jackpot!:

crutch holding him up = God holding up rightly standing guy

8:25 cont:

solved puzzle and gets to have 5g of dried french fries weighed out from the reward Hatsis potato vault

but my freewill control steering power is in row 2 left 😞

now i’m as sad as Jonah after the worm ate the branches of his gourd tree ☀️ that shaded him from sun

Lame limping left leg = qualified possibilism-thinking

i’ll take that as (another) 🏆

brains as tall as a stable tower

lame as the FAD-Plus

March 9, 2023 left wing branching feathers touch left branching tree cap

Orig Post start of writing:

6:21 am start of announcement post:

i just saw the super-clearcut way to group the branchings

same as YI clover pairs inventory in St Eustace River crossing window

three YI + one IY

lower level of tree is YI

higher lvl is grouped in pairs

2 members of the Egodeath community are looking back at Row 1 right tree

this is after last nights theory math morphology of tree data structure morphology — but now strike the II terminators.

leaves very very clean view, i thought of / saw/ perceived/ recognized now the way to draw circles on lower lvl of these 3 trees and the upper lvl of the Row 1 two trees!

see post “clover YI pairs”:

Eustace Window Lion Pilzbaum Pairs of Branching vs. Non-Branching Mushroom Trees, Y I Morphology Contrast, Branching-Message Clover Pairs – Non-branching (secn of site map)

DEFINITELY in Row 2 we have very much another Pink Key Tree, now is extra-confirmed like image f134.

upper level of Row 1 right tree cleanly has three pairs like YI IY YI,

left Row 1 has IY & IY 🏆

VERY clean pairing into IY

so i can redo last night cleaner

last night i wrote: at https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/16/branching-message-mushroom-trees-psychedelic-eternalism-depicted-in-medieval-art-as-branching-mushrooms-handedness-and-non-branching/#Extreme-Standing-Right-Leg

i wrote messy Take 1 last night: copypasta:

Method for branching message tree morphology inventory:

Start at ground, move up.

Note the branch points where sky visible, state the morph’y at each split point.

Single cap is equivalent to cut branch. [10:34 p.m. March 8, 2023]

Ψ = psi (trident)

1. Row 1 left tree YI inventory: branch points: 6. COPYPASTE GLITCHES bc Psi:
   ΨI, IΨ (or IY), YΨ, IY, II, II.
2. Row 1 right tree YI inventory: branch points: 9.  
   ΨI, ΨΨ, YI; ΨY, II, YI; IY, II, II.
3. Row 2 left tree YI inventory: branch points: 2. This is totally the “pink key tree” of f177 (like of f134). really. even the cross-behind! —
4. that’s it, I’m announcing it: 12:12 a.m. March 9, 2023]: realization of the huge extent to which f177 row 2 left tree is intended to be the pink key tree parity check confirmation signalling eg if you have doubt bc the (must be intentionally) botched cross-behind in upper left tree, the lower left tree firmly settles it. Addl arg’n that it’s intentional botched cross-under, it’s a trompe l’oeil: look at left: the cross-behind upper stem appears to be originating from the left side. Deliberate obfuscation. “He accidentally botched …” Wrong! this picture is the opposite of “accidentally”. Need crops.
   YI, II.

/ end 🍝 glitched, so see orig page.

Now after that 1st pass, at 6am i can do much clearer representation:

THIS is the kind of pattern i was deliberately searching for last night, now i found it!

now I am able to SEE the trees rightly!

Row 1 left tree:

lower lev: YI (mushroom dung horses affirm this nonbranching I) — technically Psi I ie Trident I

upper level: IY IY

Row 1 right tree:

lower level: YI ( Psi I; trident I)

upper: YI IY YI

Row 2 pink key tree: (single level in the Egodeath Graveyard of empty tombs): YI

identifying this clean pattern is a requirement for solving the puzzle — Eadwine presents this puzzle; this is the solution to the branching morphology recognition puzzle of this image.

upper: IY IY — (skip blue single cap; reference the Row 2 Pink Key Tree to prove blue cap’s “accidentally botched” cross-under)

lower level of tree = Psi I (trident I)

this is the correct way to orgize and look at these trees.

What is “Naturalism”, you ask?

Science has identified and embraced a new form of spirituality: Naturalistic spirituality.

Naturalism means holding that only the material/physical realm exists, and that believing in God is a delusion; that the gods are delusion. 💪

Against Letheby & Johnson’s “Naturalism” Iceberg and Their Uninspired Alleged Alternative

The Iceberg Problem: Story: I’m Supposed to Agree on 1 Topic; Reality = I’m Supposed to Agree on 10 Topics (Nothing Major, Just Details like “God is Delusion, the Gods are Delusion” 😊👍 🔥🐉😡 )

The “iceberg” effect: Letheby shows me 10% of his paradigm/ worldview/ ideology, and I’m wise to that now.

The Egodeath theory (the Theory of Psychedelic Cybernetic Eternalism) came from supposing that the external referent world exists (in 1987), because that’s most useful for constructing a useful explanatory model, and that therefore, the Egodeath theory is fully compatible with Naturalism, regarding that aspect.

Even though I can manage to stretch my view, and compromise my lexicon & manner of speaking so as to agree with the official aboveboard part of Letheby’s “Epistemology” position, the dealbreaker is, he ALSO wants me to buy into 9 other things, in a sketchy package deal:

For starters, I’m supposed to insult as “delusion” (Letheby’s own closeted) “Cosmic Consciousness” proposal: that only consciousness/ mental constructs exists; and worse than that, he wants me to agree (shades of Hatsis’ bad theorizing) that he has correctly defined the two available options/ paradigms.

Letheby has done a poor job of defining the best pair of opposed paradigms, whether we’re only talking about metaperception, or about entire worldmodels.

Hatsis’ Two Worlds He Created for Us to Pick Between

Thomas Hatsis has done an atrocious job of defining the two available positions: he first developed a dumb mushroom theory, and then he developed a dumb anti-mushroom theory/ position/ worldview/ paradigm (while still continuing to hold SMC by Allegro as his fav book, easily top 10 – while Allegro Follower Hatsis strawmans Brown and even me(!) as “followers of Allegro”).

Hatsis, poor theorist always slip-n-sliding his position across the entire derby rink, now that we’ve caught him out (again), now says “Ok, fine, I’ll call it the “mushrooms in Christianity position” – but he totally mis-defines “the mushrooms in Christianity position” (that’s just a given, since he misdefines everything in this domain).

Letheby’s Two Worlds He Created for Us to Pick Between

Chris Letheby has done a mediocre, uninspired job of defining “the” two available positions:

A dumb “cosmic consciousness” position that he says he developed and that he(!) advocated during midnight conversations with psychedelics enthusiast friends.

Letheby hurls insults at the Idealism position that *he* embraced, and that in closeted fashion, he still embraces.

He claims that all psychedelic mystics assert Idealism, that they all assert that only consciousness & the mental-constructs realm exists – news to me! I’ve never heard that – interesting if true; he provides citations.

Then Letheby turned around, as if a kind of fervent proselytizing, apologetics, religious faith conversion, and developed/ selected/ identified/ fixated on a dumb “materialism”/ “physicalism”/ anti-“cosmic consciousness”/ anti-“Idealism” position that he calls “Naturalism”.

Matthew Johnson (the uncomprehending Dread deleter) applauds Letheby (in Metz. journal) & like Letheby, calls this Naturalism “Physicalism” and “Materialism”, against so-called “fatalistic determinism” according to the wording & misconception in the (non-psychedelic, ordinary-state-based, inspiration-free) FAD-Plus questionnaire.

What exactly, what poor paradigm worldview system of ideology are we being asked to sign on board to?

Why are we building altered-state Psychedelic Philosophy on a soggy, sandy basis of ordinary-state incomprehension (CEQ)?

(& MEQ 🦄💨🌈 is not much better, per Charles Stang.)

That building is designed to collapse when its foundation is put to the test.

Moving Past Mysticism: Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism Provides Scientific Basis, Superseding “Mysticism, Meditation, & Psychotherapy” Framework – 2023/01/15

My retort to Letheby & Johnson (and possibly Sanders & Zijlmans’s article “Moving Past Mysticism”) is:

“What else you got, besides your two opposed, malformed, caricature positions?”

Correct answer: the Egodeath theory; the Theory of Psychedelic Eternalism.

‘Eternalism’ means Cybernetic Eternalism; top emphasis on control-model transformation.

The Pollan Invasion: Letheby’s Star He Steers By; Letheby’s Mission: Please Pollan’s Expectations; We Shall Use Pollan as Our Main Point of Reference

Pollan. Some existing people in this domain hiss at this newbie, fake-star, outsider invader.

Letheby/ Johnnson/ Pollan claim that they’re merely pushing a position that the physical/material realm evolved before the cognitive realm, and so Physical Creates Cognitive.

But is “Epistemology” really all we’re trying to align about? That is just the tip of iceberg of a bad pair of offerings. In 10 seconds, already Letheby is saying:

“God Is Delusion; and the Gods Are Delusion” – Signed, Letheby “I Always Advocated Idealist Monism, with Friends at 3 a.m.”, “CEQ-Flop” Johnson, & Invader/ Myth Meme Vehicle Pollan

Letheby BRAZENLY (and admirably clearly) says in videos, “Naturalism means holding that believing in God is a delusion, that the Gods are delusion.”

Video: Philosophy of Psychedelics and the Comforting Delusion Objection

His mission in life is to appease Pollan’s objection; it’s the star Letheby steers by, his orienting point of reference & mission-check.

As long as we’re meeting Pollan’s objection in NYT, everything’s good.

“Believing in God Is a Delusion; the Gods are Delusion” – Chris Letheby (and What Else Are We Agreeing to in Letheby’s Naturalism from Hell? The Dragons Have Questions)

🏥 🍽 🐉

People fail to correctly define “God”; that’s the main error behind their atheist assertion “God is a delusion”.

Actually, these Materialism/ Physicalism/ Naturalism advocates are pushing an entire large-scale paradigm that’s poor.

Along with their “God is Delusion” brand of “Naturalism”, Pollan & Letheby & Johnson offer us a false, poor alternative that seems like a product of 4 a.m. half-baked metaphysics epiphany — as Letheby personally reports, that’s exactly the case.

People, you have two options: either you have to agree with my “God is Delusion” version of “Naturalism”, OR, you have to agree with my 4 a.m. typical position that I’m familiar with advocating: that the nature of enlightenment is Idealist Monism. Those are your two positions that you get to choose from.

Hatsis’ Two World views He Created that You Are Allowed to Pick Between

Hatsis argues: There are two positions that you get to choose from:

Hatsis’ Position A. the “Secret Christian Amanita Cult” theory [see his blog post, “SMC is my favorite book”] Reading Allegro Again (Hatsis 2015)

Hatsis’ Position B. my “no mushrooms in Christianity” position [picture kiddie Amanita 🍄 , like Hatsis exclusively does] Citation: https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2021/02/19/idea-development-page-12/#Tom-Hatsis-Reply-to-Me

Letheby’s Two World views He Created that You Are Allowed to Pick Between

Pollan/ Letheby/ Johnson are wrongly asserting that the only alternative to their “God is Delusion” version of “Naturalism” is: “only consciousness/ the mental-construct realm exists” (Idealistic Monism).

Letheby wants to strike a pose to please the much-disliked or askance-looked-at Pop Industrial writer Michael Pollan, and wants to please the expectations of Johnson.

Letheby defines his position specifically to address Pollan’s NYT article.

Pollan: Reaching Levels of Wrongness Not Even Thought Possible

In Pollan’s book, Pollan says “Wasson, the first Westerner to ingest Psilocybin.” Egregiously and very harmfully FALSE!!

Pollan, could you be any wronger?

This is John Lash-level, over-the-top, idol-worship mythmaking, of WASSON THE GOD OF PSILOCYBIN.

Wasson has steered entheogen scholarship into a ditch, by censoring the pair of Panofsky letters, including Brinckmann’s book and the two attached photostats; repeated, deceptive lies of omission and scholarly obstructionism, discouraging discussing Panofsky’s lame arguments, and distracting people from critical investigation by aggressive name-calling and psychological pressure tactics (haranguing mycologists) to shut out & prevent scholarly engagement.

The Wasson Paradox (Brown 2019) runs deep: he braggingly does everything to research mushrooms — until it comes to Christianity, then he obstructs as much as possible, and bows down to Panosfky’s dumb, unconvincing arguments, which he mostly censors, knowing they’ll backfire.

Chris Bennett, there is no excusing this. We need truth exposed, not yet more apologetics for Wasson, to uphold the false god myth of Wasson the Great — obstructionist and deceiver: see Panofsky’s Censored Pair of Letters to Wasson Revealed and Transcribed, which confirms my 2006 article’s accusations that Panofsky has no real citations, and that Wasson withheld the citations that Panofsky must have provided to him.

Leader of the mission to erect this god of mushrooms: Wasson, who claims to be the first one ever to connect the Eden tree with Amanita —

completely unrelated topic on next page: “Hey John Ramsbottom [top mycologist]: You and the French mycologists are ignorant, blundering idiots for saying since 1900 that the Eden tree means Amanita, in Plaincourault.

Wasson directly contradicts himself while insulting everyone in the field. http://egodeath.com/WassonEdenTree.htm

Let’s build entheogen scholarship on the most dubious character — oh but Chris Bennett assures us everything’s just fine, regarding the 800 bright red flags:

Original Post: Letheby/ Pollan/ Johnson “Naturalism” Is Exactly as Bunk as CEQ, Which Deletes Wholly Dread Dimension Due to Incomprehension

“Naturalism” = CEQ = Deleting the Dread Dimension = BUNK to the extreme

Letheby tells us in videos that he often asserted Idealism – he is projecting, he demonizes and fixates on Idealism and puts on a display of insulting Idealism because it is his closeted position that he is accustomed to holding, as he recounts.

He offers us a choice between his Naturalism vs. his Idealism.

Hatsis’ great debate: Junk Mushroom Theory like he used to hold (his blog post says Allegro is his fav book, top 10 easily), or junk anti-mushroomism like he now holds.

Junk Christianity vs junk atheism? 3rd alt: junk esotericism.

These are false option-pairs.

I don’t align with any of these options, and I will not advocate or adopt any of them or their Cognitive Neuro-Reductionism, “unity, neuroplasticity, default mode network, ego dissolution” — irrelevant, pseudo-explanations.

Look at FAD-Plus questionnaire’s wording of the “fatalistic determinism” subscale’s items – there is no hope for its set of metaphysical positions; none are relevant to describe the mind’s transformation from possibilism to eternalism in the intense mystic altered state.

• FAD-Plus: Free Will and Determinism Questionnaire (Paulhus 2011)

Mr. Naturalism’s PARADIGM is poor, including the phony poor alternative that it asserts is the alternative.

Mr. Naturalism! What does it all *mean*??

Features:

• left fingers held together = non-branching = block-universe eternalism
• right hand fingers splayed (the reverse pattern, typ. left-hand) = naive egoic possibilism-thinking; branching possibilities with open future
• weight on right foot, left foot lifted (good; relying on eternalism-thinking and not at all relying on possibilism-thinking mental model for stable control in intense mystic altered state)
• beard = mature form of mental model; eternalism-thinking
• not furrowed brow; not dread; stable control (compare smiling cybercide guys)
• no outer garment/ cloak; underlying mental mechanism made perceptible

Examples of Countering Rules/ Patterns After Setting them Up

God: left-hand fingers splayed
Moses: right-hand fingers splayed

angel: left splayed (normal pattern)

right (especially): left-hand fingers splayed (normal pattern)

In this genre, Jesus when only displaying one hand, it is always the right hand, but has index & middle fingers together about as often as splayed.

Making an Art Motif Rule about {handedness} or {non-branching} also Opens up a “Mirror Potential” of Positively Countering that Rule

Corollary: The stronger the rule/pattern, the more potent of messaging opportunity you create or open up by violating that rule.
[11:37 p.m. March 7, 2023; & about 45 minutes ago, below]

When Jesus displays two hands, the left-hand fingers are the ones that are splayed, right held together. I’d predict this to be without exception, at least in this genre.

The more firm you make the “rule”, the more powerful potential you inherently create in mirror fashion, by breaking the rule.

Not sure if I wrote up this yet – some angles, I have: recent point of past couple weeks: [8:38 p.m. March 7, 2023]:

Ironically & interestingly, the moment the artist decides “right is good”, that inherently creates a new additional information messaging opportunity: because IF that artist then uses the contrary pattern, that can be a new additional vehicle for meaning.

Suppose we make a brittle “artists are robots” rule, “standing on left foot/leg/heel is always bad”.

Then what if Jesus stands on left leg?

For the diagrammatic artist, rich possibilities are created by creating a rule, b/c now you can add extra meaning by breaking the rule.

Or what if you have “bad guy” Judas shown standing on the correct, “good” (right) leg?

Judas has correct/”good” garment-spreader posture (weight on right leg) and “good” mushroom hem touching “good” lifted mushroom hem in front of him, sync’d with the “good” garment-spreader guy in top panel who has equivalent “good” mushroom hems and posture.

The Official Gang Sign/ Finger-Shapes Password of the Egodeath Theory

The official gang sign ({gateway passage password code}) of the Egodeath theory:

left hand peace sign (two fingers apart), w/ back of hand facing viewer
right hand fingers held together, w/ back of hand facing viewer

Handedness-Motif Rules: the Arbitrariness of Assigning Right or Left to Eternalism-Thinking

[9:47 p.m. March 7, 2023]

Every {handedness} artist knows (it’s more or less self-evident), it is arbitrary whether left is assigned to possibilism-thinking or to eternalism-thinking , and same for right.

Expect many plays with breaking one’s rule.

These type of handedness rules that are inteherently crying out to be broken them moment they are set.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS YOU KNOW THE TWO MODELS ARE BRANCHING & NON-, AND THAT IT GOES FROM BRANCHING TO NON-.

Now with THAT said, NOW you truly understand Jesus’ finger shapes & suchlike motif-usage.

Article title:
Art Showing Standing on Right Leg – Mytheme Motif Gallery
Section heading:
Eadwine Has Jesus Standing on Left Leg While Healing a Leper
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/01/art-showing-standing-on-right-leg-mytheme-motif-gallery/#Left-Leg-While-Healing-Leper

Jesus is standing on left leg because he’s taking on the impurity and uncleanness and disease of the leper.

Jesus’ weight is on left leg (bad; relying on egoic, naive, altered-state-unstable possibilism-thinking) while taking away the disease/ uncleanness of the leper.

Here’s a most-intelligent question:

What % of weight is on L vs. R leg of Jesus?
What % of weight is on L vs. R leg of leper?

Inventory & Complement-Pairings of 2-Finger Patterns at Last Supper (Golden Psalter)

At table, inventory which hand shows two fingers, and whether held together or splayed:

• right-hand, held together
• right-hand, held together
• left-hand, held together (left fish)
• right-hand, held together (Jesus)
• right-hand, held together
• right-hand, splayed
• left-hand, splayed (right fish)

Next, sort by right-hand then left; then sort by held-together vs splayed:

• right-hand, held together <– normal pattern, 4x to communicate “this is the rule”.
• left-hand, splayed <-– normal pattern, just 1x to complete the {branching contrasted against non-branching} motif/message.
• right-hand, splayed <– counter-pattern, just 1x to say we ack’d that poss’y.
• left-hand, held together <– counter-pattern, just 1x to say we ack’d that poss’y.

The two latter “wrong” cases pair to form a “complete contrast pair”. So an intelligent inventory is:

• right-hand, held together <– 4x
• left-hand, splayed <-– 1x to complete the {branching contrasted against non-branching} pair.

• right-hand, splayed <– counter-pattern
• left-hand, held together <– complementary counter-pattern to form a complete balanced pair. An inverse complete “branching vs. non-branching” pair.

Complementary Finger-Pairings at Golden’s Last Supper

It’s often unclear while I’m making a discovery, the magnitude – not self-evident how it plays out, and sometimes delayed extra payout like Nov 2020 Eadwine initiation image, I failed to back-apply that back to my 2006 article images (including, ironically, Dancing Man, which was the key to cracking John Lash’s Eadwine 2008 leg-hanging msh fragment and then the rest of the image) until March-May 2022.

Spring 2022 was therefore a series of facepalms.

url https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2022/04/13/salamander-mushroom-tree-right-side-cut/

1:02 a.m. March 8, 2023] – not sure how much I wrote about his right-hand splayed fingers before (eg the past month), but I’m gonna register it: left hand fingers together, right hand fingers splayed.

That’s a counter pattern, and subtle, so not the best example/model.

His legs fit Normal Pattern (right heel touches cut right trunk, left foot lifted).

ANNOUNCE [9:18 p.m. March 7, 2023], after having JUST completed the above analysis/ inventory and grouping. Analysis/report/announcement:

This picture is significant and confirms my theory of art, via this grouping; this is the right, comprehending/intelligent way to group the finger patterns:

The artist wants us to, means us to group the fingers this way:

• 4x right together + 1x left splayed (natural, “complete” grouping)
• 1x right splayed + 1x left together (natural pairing)

If nothing else, this is certain:

THE ARTIST WANTS US TO CONSIDER THE COLLECTION OF FINGER SHAPES re: left vs. right, and together vs. splayed.

This artist may well say, “There’s no right answer/grouping, but the important point is to think about branching + non-branching.”

You’re basically onboard if you generally recognize what type of puzzle this is; what type of interpretation you’re expected to attempt.

You get into Eternalism heaven, YOU ARE PERMITTED TO PASS THOUGH THE ETERNALISM GATE AS LONG AS YOU NOTE THAT ALL 4 CASES ARE COVERED:

• right together, left splayed;
• right splayed, left together.

That’s signalled with “parity check” certainty in top panel (high degree of employing mirroring):
Peter’s left hand fingers splayed,
gate-guy’s right-hand fingers together.

Less certain is the 4-finger shapes at table:

• jesus left 4 fingers: splayed
• judas left 4 fingers: semi splayed
• index finger only, 1x.

Like the Eadwine initiation image, this table image sets up a rule, and then demonstrates pretty much all variants.

(Artist, I did the puzzle exercise you instructed/expected, this tallying and commentary about rules & communication of intent; I received your message about deliberate intelligent permutation.)

(note: left 3-4 fingers splayed; Jesus)

You can make next-level sophisticated statements; making a rule also opens up a “mirror potential” of positively countering that rule.

Letheby/Johnson’s Malformed Yaldabaothian “Naturalism” Is As Off-Base as CEQ

i have doubts about next heading, delete? it’s malformed like their Yaldabaothian take on “materialism”:

The Fatal Error of Comprehension & Failure of Treasure-Getting that Is the CEQ — and “Naturalism” per Letheby & Johnson

I am not buying or praising or supporting any of these paradigms on offer.

Even Metzinger’s paradigm is too weak and irrelevant to support and endorse.

I critique, not endorse, these paradigms.

The Egodeath theory is an independent distinct paradigm package deal.

My sketchy, covert package deal is much better than theirs.

I do not endorse Letheby’s Naturalism, nor what he & Matthew “CEQ Flop” Johnson claims is the alternative, Idealism/ Cosmic Consciousness.

Psychedelic (Pseudo) Science = the CEQ *disaster* — Griftiths has zero understanding of control-model transformation challenge, so he and Johnson simply DELETED THE ENTIRE DREAD DIMENSION of effects.

No one will use the bunk CEQ; Dittrich’s Dread OAV, grounded in 1975 APZ, remains sound.

Johnson’s “Materialism” broken paradigm = the CEQ Disaster due to total lack of comprehension; omits HRS item: It was difficult to control my thoughts, & OAV item 54: I was afraid to lose my self control. 😵 😵 😵 FATAL ERROR

Johnson & Letheby bring you the Deleted Dread Dimension replaced by ordinary-state reductionism to Grief, and then ask you to endorse their Naturalism?

I’d sooner endorse the freewill-fog Mystics — but the Egodeath theory offers the sound, actual alternative.

The Egodeath theory is way better than the systematic confusion that all these poor paradigms have.

the Cybernetic Theory of Ego Transcendence

the Theory of Psychedelic Cybernetic Eternalism

Naturalism = CEQ = reductionism to eliminate psychedelic effects = explaining away = total failure of Science –> 🗑

Wouter Hanegraaff has no idea what to do with the Heimarmene (eternalism) stars that are above the Saturn rebirth transformation gate, and he wants to tell his backwards story of spiritual mental development from Heimarmene/ Eternalism to Possibilism, so he solves his problem by simply DELETING all the stars from the sky.

Johnson Griffiths Letheby have no idea what to do with Control challenge effects, so they simply DELETE Dittrich’s Dread dimension altogether. And market the result as broadening coverage because they added ordinary state Grief therapy.

Then they validated their CEQ, by attaching the usual blob of math to it.

🦄💨 <– validated ☑️ 👍

The alternative to (Johnson’s Dread-deleting) Materialism is Idealism, which is “delusion”, Letheby repeatedly says.

He is hopelessly confused; unhelpful options.

These are the people selling us “Naturalism” and telling us that the alternative is Idealism, which Letheby simply labels as “delusion” in his videos — while saying Idealism is the position he typically asserted in psychedelic philosophy conversations with friends.

Answer: Too many other discoveries/ Waldos spotted in the scene. still tho…

Actually, it’s because I Haven’t Fully Appreciated the {gate} Motif.

I announced this in Idea Development page 18: https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/14/idea-development-page-18/
Section heading = “Got a hit! Stars above gate = Heimarmene gate, Lorenzetti 12:01 midnight Mar 7 2023.”

I got a hit last night: Lorenzetti’s Entry into Jerusalem: The gate has the celestial X and heimarmene stars; the Eternalism transformation gateway.

Errata: No One Who Passed Through the Jerusalem {eternalism gate} Has Child-Thinking

Errata: Weeks ago, I described the youth holding branching feathers (over donkey ears) as associated with naive possibilism-thinking — doesn’t work.

Everyone who passed through the {eternalism gate} is enlightened to eternalism-thinking.

Which raises a point:

Feature:

• Donkey does not have branching ears. (x2, coal.)
• [covered before, but what’s new is: compare variance of donkey ears to variance of Jesus’ finger-shapes]

But this Jesus has branching fingers.

Which 1-hand Jesus is the Wrong Jesus: holding fingers together, or splaying them?

Jesus A vs. Jesus B, which one is the correct Jesus?

Which Jesus art is WRONG? 🔥🖼🔨😫

Griffiths’ Science Magically Switched 39% High Dose Bad Trips to Just 30%, Silently, Withholding Explanation

p. s. Why is it that the Griffiths article that reports 30% bad trips from high-dose sessions, under optimal conditions, doesn’t even MENTION that they previously reported 39% 😱 😵 bad trips with high dose under optimal conditions, as Houot’s dissertation on Mystic Surrenderism cites?

Toward a Philosophy of Psychedelic Technology: An Exploration of Fear, Otherness, and Control (Houot 2019) –

“In a recent psilocybin study at John Hopkins University, nearly 40% of hallucinogen-naïve participants reported “extreme ratings of fear, fear of insanity, or feeling trapped at some time during the session” with 44% reporting delusional or paranoid thinking
(Griffiths et al, 2011, 656). ”

You have some explaining to do.

How did your 39% MEQ failure rate (failure to have a Complete Newbie Mystical Experience) become just 30%?

Their Psychedelic “Science” = magical elimination of the shadow dragon monster, the threat of loss of control during transformation from possibilism to eternalism.

Voice Recording that Prepared for this Post

4768.wav, 1.5 hours [deck stamp fwiw: mar 6 18:51] – perfect length, as I target 1.5 hours per episode.

Totally solid content, right before writing this post.

Voice Recording – last night, March 6, 2023: a long, solid voice recording where i worked up the ideas then posted summary this morning march 7.

No telling if I’ll listen to it, or produce & upload it for the Egodeath Mystery Show.

It is definitely good content; meets the bar.

Would be easy to produce, b/c white noise but no music.

added [10:55 p.m. March 8, 2023]

It is exactly same content as present page, but different.

Should be amusing & enlightening.

During recording, i was confused whether Letheby said ‘metaphysical epiphany’ or other word – he did say epiphany.

Of course it’s all self-description, even a semi-covert CONFESSIONS OF LETHEBY: Closeted — title of episode:

Episode 1234: Confessions of Letheby, Closeted Consciousness-Only Idealist [too long]

“Ep123 Confessions of Letheby, Closeted Idealist”

“Ep123 Confessions of Letheby”

I tend to remember this recording as memorably discovering “CLOSETED LETHEBY” beating up on Idealists because he himself thinks that way and has a problem with himself b/c he longs for metaphysical enlightenment.

He’s in turmoil against himself, which is why he insults Idealists (living rent-free in his mind).

Hatsis persecutes Secret Christian Amanita Cult Allegro followers because he is one himself.

Letheby persecutes and publicly insults (a display, a public confession of faith) his imagined target (windmill-tilting),

Letheby goes around publicly LOUDLY projecting his own Idealism onto imagined other people, then making a great public show of LOUDLY PUBLICLY insulting them, as a ploy to hide the fact that he is one himself, as he admits — confesses.

He says “I believe in consciousness-only, and I am a bad person for doing that, so I publicly repent and curse and condemn my Idealism view. I am doing penance.”

Listen how he raises his voice and speaks extra clearly AS IF HIS AUDIENCE AUTOMATICALLY AGREES WITH HIM when he says “GOD IS DELUSION, THE GODS ARE DELUSION, IDEALISTS’ METAPHYSICAL EPIPHANY IS A HALLUCINATION, when he carefully formally proclaims a curse on Idealists (it takes one to curse one).

[Letheby, yelling, in 3 public presentations per week:]

📣📢🗣 “ATTENTION!! BELIEF IN GOD IS DELUSION! BELIEF IN GODS IS DELUSION! I FORMALLY PRONOUNCE A CURSE UPON IDEALISTS: YOUR METAPHYSICAL EPIPHANY IS A HALLUCINATION!” 📣📢🔊🔊🗣

Letheby Balaam on his way to formally & ritually curse what he imagines to be “the Idealists”

There is such a religious tone of Letheby’s ritual disparagement of Idealists.

Valuable Errata to Analyze

Article title:
Branching-Message Mushroom Trees: Psychedelic Eternalism Depicted in Medieval Art as Branching Mushrooms, Handedness, and Non-Branching
Section heading:
Standing on Right Leg Supported by Right Hand (Canterbury)
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2023/02/16/branching-message-mushroom-trees-psychedelic-eternalism-depicted-in-medieval-art-as-branching-mushrooms-handedness-and-non-branching/#Extreme-Standing-Right-Leg
Incorrect “Feature” item:
“Advanced tall guy still relying on left foot and a stick to retain balance; getting more doses to reach completion of control transformation.” <– PRESERVE THIS IMPORTANT HISTORY OF MIS-NARRATIVE AND THEN CORRECTION.

It’s a valuable contrast between “missing the mark” vs. “getting it”.

I’d have to use spoken idea development to discuss why the initial reading was wrong.

Generally it is good to record details of my initial bafflement about the whole image, then partly wrong readings, then full decoding AND WHY I KNOW THE BETTER READING IS CORRECT.

1. My first reading of the individual trees’ branching.
2. Bringing the 3 trees together.
3. Semi-systematically math’ly describing the tree data structures.
4. Correctly efficiently grasping how to look at the set of 3 trees.

He is not “almost enlightened”.

He is not simply relying on left leg; he knowingly has a lame left leg, that’s why he’s stable.

The artist was successful at presenting me with a tough — but not too tough — interpretation problem.

Decoding mythemes/motifs means identifying the specific way in which the myth / motif describes by analogy, is analogous to specific experiential phenomena of the Psilocybin altered state.

He’s not almost enlightened.

Crutch guy is fully enlightened.

Left leg is not shown as being relied on; the reverse: his thinking is stable because he knows that his left leg is not stable.

The crutch is a negation; it says “this left heel is definitely lame and unstable, and cannot be a stable basis.”

Although {left heel touching base} appears to say {left heel} = {stable}, it doesn’t say that!

We are not shown {left heel touching base}.

We are shown a negative left heel, a lame left heel.

We are being shown {lame left heel is stable} or {unstable left heel is stable}, or {known-unstable left heel is stable}.

known-unstable left heel is stable

It is not a left heel.

It is a known-unstable left heel.

It is his *thinking* that is stable, his thinking which contains “knowledge that left heel is unstable”.

voice recording 4777.wav: Psychedelic Narrative Turf Wars, then “known-unstable left heel is stable”

Voice recording about this to articulate it: 4777.wav. 1:54:19, which includes podcast title ideas:

• Psychedelic Turf War
• Psychedelic Turf Wars
• Narrative Wars
• Psychedelic Narrative Turf Wars
• Psychedelic Turf Wars
• known-unstable left heel is stable

Top of the production queue for voice recordings is the “Closeted Letheby Idealist Persecuting Idealists” voice recording 1.5 hours long a couple days ago.

Earlier recordings today go into Letheby’s “Philosophy of Psychedelics” vs. the Egodeath theory. Letheby is the perfect Epistemology Philosopher and does everything right, yet, he thing… he falls short.

He buys into the usual fallacies, like mistakenly thinking that ego dissolution and unity is the big reveal, the explanation, what it’s all about.

I’d like to unpack how historians adjudicate historical claims, by laying out the criteria we use.

Using the tried & true methodology which we historians use, I researched the surrounding text/ theology/ backstory, which PROVES that this CANNOT be mushrooms!

I applied the Thomas Hatsis historiographical methodological methodology, which per his articles, says always automatically (against John Rush) the naturalistic interpretation (ie mundane ordinary state) is neutral and correct, or else it’s culturecide, and have thus identified what’s in the bag: potatoes 😑

Detailed Theory of Multiple YI Inventory in Branching-Message Trees

[9 p.m. March 8, 2023] [10:34 p.m. March 8, 2023]

YIΨ (psi)

We can inventory all the branching in a given tree in this genre as follows: start at ground and move up.

At each split, describe YI configuration.

Move up; repeat.

Method for branching message tree morphology inventory:

Start at ground, move up.

If tie, left first.

Note the branch points where sky visible,

state the morph’y at each split point. [10:34 p.m. March 8, 2023]

Standing on Right Leg Supported by Right Hand (Canterbury)

ah man top row middle (finally! for days, asking “WTH is the purpose of these pointless dumbasses standing doing nothing, serving no function???“) [10:20 p.m. March 10, 2023] i got a hit! LOOKING LEFT AND LOOKING RIGHT – they are looking at upper left tree vs. looking at upper right tree.

Artist tells you where to look, what puzzle components to look at.

So, I continue to say, if I REALLY want to power-analyze, I must draw more white lines sight lines. Try to (scientific hypothesis to test:) draw from eyes to L & R trees.

man, i might do this – very curious! these dudes have been bugging the sht out of me. what’s their POINT? 🤔 🤔 🤨 They CAN’T just mean NOTHING! 🤷‍♂️ “WTF!”

A huge cognitive dissonance, baffled by puzzle piece Row 1 Middle.

Diamond Hammer of Interpretation, I Summon Thee!

🖼💎🔨

I Vow to Sacrifice Three Shorn Rams if You Assist Me in Decoding this Damned Puzzle!

— [10:33 p.m. March 10, 2023]

Wikipedia: “The images in Great Canterbury Psalter are difficult to interpret.” As one who has decoded some of them:

You can say that again!!

Jesus, Eadwine how the F do you expect anyone to be able to solve these near-impossible puzzles, it’s RIDICULOUS the DECADES of expertise I’m having to bring to this.

as i crop these panels at [11:01 p.m. March 10, 2023] it strikes me that i have been failing to specifiy emphasize that the Egodeath community is looking at Left tree VERSUS (or in comparison with) R tree.

Given that some are looking definitely 100% certain at R tree, therefore, some are looking at not just vaguely “leftward”, but specifically AT THE LEFT TREE in contrast (as the middle, loitering, pointless guys are doing). of course they are also (we can expect) looking at rightly standing guy bc 2 horses are looking at his hand & God’s right hand. we shall SEE.

finding: The middle guy in midst of the Egodeath community is looking at rightly standing guy’s right foot (not down at monster’s mouth).

In accord with John Rush: All art means mushrooms.

Therefore the 3 building caps in Row 2 mean mushrooms.

This means, I noticed/ connected (at timestamp of crop Row 2 Right: 10:58 p.m. March 10, 2023): a building mushroom cap just happens to be in the same crop as the Hatsis potato-reward chest.

🗝🔓 🥔🥔🥔 🏆🥇 🎉

The Naturalistic Ordinary State Interpretation Is Always the Correct One (Else Culturecide) 😑

Remember, per Hatsis’ articles, as he so persuasively reasons to himself, the right, neutral, natural, unbiased interpretation is ALWAYS, automatically, a “naturalistic” reading.

[11:51 p.m. March 10, 2023] – i’m gonna claim this: just noticed, and just thought of this possibility for the first time, thanks to the above crop, and due to thinking about eyes targets: Row 2 right ego-dead lifter guy is looking at the pink key tree.

I’ve seen the ultra-zoom, while cropping and drawing the line — THE ARTIST COULDN’T POSSIBLY BE ANY CLEARER THAT HE IS LOOKING AT THE TREE.

I like that a lot that he is looking at the tree, so it’s not just sitting there lonely ignored; this looking helps spread PURPOSE to multiply-confirm all the readings UNIFORMLY THROUGHOUT whole image.

[12:58 a.m. March 11, 2023] I have a reading (not entirely new, but networked-new): the building above the ego-dead person = STABILITY. Has a rock ossuary foundation. Has two eyes. 1:00 am a.m. March 11, 2023] and here is an argument (maybe unconscious/ backlog from earlier today but here articulated): HOW WE KNOW THAT THIS BUILDING REPRESENTS stability: b/c we already established that the crutch lame left leg guy tower = stability. And we know that this building is indicated as being “like the tower”, that this building above the ossuary is isomorphic w/ tower, b/c that’s proved indicated by artist by the mushroom cap top of both towers.

This (the fact that both towers have msh cap) helps explain the function/ purpose of the mysterious mushroom caps of the towers: they serve to indicate the sameness, the isomorphism, of the two towers.

Make the two towers different enough so the puzzle isn’t obvious; gotta sort the ppl who truly comprehend, from the rote e-z level “playing game on easy mode” posers else the puzzle doesn’t serve to sort out the ppl who genuinely GET IT vs. the e-z pozers.

An ironic thing: the “OMFG he’s looking at pink key tree!! 😵 … OMG while holding ego-dead! 😵 😵 … OMG while holding feet!! 😵 😵 😵 ….. OMG while holding RIGHT foot!! 😵 😵 😵 😵 — that all happened due to incidental accidental inclusion, I WAS INTENDING TO GIVE UP AND NOT DECODE THE EGO-DEAD PERSON SCENE B/C TOO HARD 😭 😭

But I accidentally saw his eyes and tree together, incidentally while working on another crop , the [left side of image] crop, in which i didn’t even want the lifting-person scene! Proving I should have just mass-produced a set of per-panel…. or– 12:45 a.m. March 11, 2023] THERE ARE TWO INSTANCES OF “MUST HAVE 2 PANELS THO A COLUMN BREAKS THE LOOKING-LINE”:

i just realized an answer to part of an answer to a question WHY THE COLUMSN WHERE THEY ARE…. no idea whether signif ATM, but: strange coincidence:

I was just about to say, write, that the correct crop i found the other day that the correct Row 1 Left crop would NOT have isolated only the horses panel, but MUST include right-standing guy TOO, even though there’s a column in the way,

and then a couple minutes ago, I was going to note that I had to include BOTH panels in the bottom Row 2 panel 2+3, and, there is a column in between them, why?

To obscure that there is a connection between his eyes and the target. (?)

So, I just realized there are two places where I must crop (include) two panels that have a column in between.

(column = metaperception?? 🤔 🤔 indicates seeing an abstract principle??)

[12:27 a.m. March 11, 2023] left guy holding RIGHT ARM with right hand. right guy is holding RIGHT LEG with left hand.

Part of the good news here is that with this these features pointed out, this demonstrates YOU HAVE STANDARD-FEATURE INVENTORYING WORK TO DO: stop thinking stupidly just “what is this dead person doing”; CONTINUE to think / analyse in terms of handedness.

Don’t stop doing that just because “I DON’T KNOW THE BACK STORY 😭 😭

[12:05 a.m. March 11, 2023] as i crop panel row 2 panel 2+3 (both ossuary panels) I GOT A HIT! figured out a big thing about ego-dead person: he is {looking at pink key tree while holding feet}.

THIS PROVIDES A PURPOSE FOR EGO-DEAD PERSON.

Note my judgment process: my aborted PLAN was to tight crop just his eyes looking at pink key tree, (“Canterbury-f177-row2-looking-tree reject.png”).

But once I was zooming-decisions, I FELT / experienced that I was omitting the more and more valuable ego-dead person … his act of looking is at same time as holding not vaguely “the person” but, THEN I SAW IT: holding what? SPECIFICALLY, their FEET!

[12:14 a.m. March 10, 2023] the other guy is provably (through white lines sight lines), looking at the crutch tip and right heel on stable column base.

I might do a blurry, whole single image with all eye sight lines traced. or just list what each eyes are looking at.

• Character: What he’s looking at

• Left ego-dead carrier: crutch tip & left heel on column base.
• Right ego-dead carrier: pink key tree.
• Horse 1: blue lone cap.
• guy in middle of crowd: right foot of rightly standing guy.
• the Egodeath community row 2 right: top of trunk of Right tree.
• Horse 3: right hand of God holding up rightly standing guy by right hand.

{building/ tower/ cathedral/ column} = control-stability

[1:22 a.m. March 11, 2023] that does it: with this , i gotta make a crop of the whole Row 2 right eg scales : announce: CATHEDRAL DOESN’T FALL DOWN, IS ATTACHED TO LITTLE MSH-CAP TOWER, BOLSTERING / CONFIRMING YES, TOWER W/ MSH CAP = STABILITY LIKE A CATHEDRAL. This cathedral has two columns (= stability; eg stable column base).

False explanation of the 3 buildings: yesterdayish, ~March 9, I was still long-shot speculating that “buildings” = “advanced knowledge level that a cultivated civilization builds up” [I might have to weed that out, below, – YES , found & done — from my “features” list for this image]. I know think that’s as fake pseudo-expl as “snake is #1 myth b/c shed skin and venom” (what do u call that, an invented pseudo ad hoc explanation?? pretext? no, … fabricated specious explanation?)

Copy of the initial dubious explanation:

Buildings: highly structured comprehension requiring building up on a stable foundation else fall down. preserve that, i feel that it’s a pseudo expl or, is unblanaced. the buildings mean “stability”. Sure, secondarily you can elaborate that as “civilization = stability” or “Transcendent Knowledge is built up like a stable building”, but those are overcomplicated. The simple correct reading is: {STABLE LIKE A CONSTRUCTION, TOWER, CATHEDRAL.}

• horses look left at branching message tree and rightward at rightly-standing man held up by God, serving to connect them; SIMILARLY,
• the ego-dead lifter guys look left at branching message tree and rightward at lame left stable heel column base, serving to connect them.

“stable” is related to “balance”.

hard to record my rapid sequence of steps of thoughts/ confirmations in this BALANCE BREAKTHROUGH.

Of course I have been thinking about “weighing out” using “scales” over the past few days, I was trying to find the right angle and WHY BALANCING (I NOW SAY as of 2:10 and then 2:11 a.m. March 11, 2023] — why the f is he on his toes?

at 2:10 i was about to write “I don’t know if ancient world would say our word-usage concept of “balance” = “stability” but by 2:11, I confirmed that IS the case, by solving another, “separate”, bothersome annoyance:

WHY IS HE ON TOES? WTF IS UP W THAT??? been buggin me for DAYS 😖

🤨 🤨

Simply try standing on your toes like that.

Finding: it requires a lot of BALANCE.

and though he is “weighing” out 5g of dried french fries from the potato reward locker, by using a “scale“, what type of scale?

It is a BALANCE.

So, like the balancing-base leopard watering bowl that I proved the species identification of by using my field work photographs that — unlike Browns’ nice non-Amanita St. Walburga tapestry (photo credit: not Julie M. Brown) — I actually travelled to the site, on location, and actually took the photos myself.

Look how uncertain and disbelieving/ incredulous I was, initially, until I thought-through & revised/ developed my headspace/ reading.

Now, a day or two later, OF COURSE ITS A CHUTE connecting the detritus offgassing of egoic smoke, to the monster devouring / dragon / incinerator.

Now, it’s just a given fact.

During couple/few days of interpreting this image, this feature has switched/moved to not at all a “strange odd dubious improbable notion” [see Paul Thagard re: connection-revision].

It’s become the opposite of “improbable, strange”.

Features:

• Row 2 left pink key tree branching morphology: YI with cross-under. For communication parity check; a hint or confirmation.
• Row 1 left tree: lower (primary) level: YI with cross-under.
• Row 1 left tree upper level: IY, I, IY. (Wrong, Right, Wrong)
• Row 1 right tree trunk: YI (cut = I).
• Row 1 right tree upper level: YI, IY, YI (Right, Wrong, Right) [9:25 p.m. March 10, 2023 re: WRW + RWW + putting R in middle of WRW (latter in isolation isn’t new, but what’s new is seeing / counting that I, listing that I, in the context of … and thus a stronger/ increased strength of “the single cap on left = the cut upper of Right tree”] This is satisfying, because when I attempted to SKIP the Row 1 left tree’s blue cap, clumsy, and we end up w/ less symmetry; ends up with only IY IY on left vs. YI IY YI on right (no symmetry there), but as soon as we COUNT the blue cap in the upper-level inventory, then beauty/elegance:
  IY, I, IY vs. YI, IY, YI which is
  Wrong Right Wrong vs. Right Wrong Right,
  and, the special thing on left tree then is the single-cap, and the special thing on the right tree then is the upper-level cut branch, corroborating the interesting principle that a single cap = cut branch, necessarily (both are non-branching), to make the symmetry work. end of the new-analysis aspects, [9:35 p.m. March 10, 2023]
• 10:02 p.m. March 10, 2023] — an increase of elegance/ symmetry comprehension of how to think of row 1 left tree vs. row 1 Right tree: why does the right tree have 3 YI’s on top shown, but left only has 2 YI’s “if you skip the blue cap” <– that’s your problem! stop skipping and not counting the blue cap as part of upper level! it is not justified to skip! The two trees are closer to the same # of caps, even though the left only has 2 YI’s in its upper level and the Right tree has 3 YI’s: to bring the count up in L tree and to bring the count DOWN in R tree, the artist avoids cutting right trunk but extends upward as “lone cap” in the upper level; conversely, to complete the 3rd YI in the upper level of R tree, artist eliminates 1 cap by employing the upper-level cut branch. That feels like it ANSWERS QUESTION WHAT’S UP W THE UPPER-LEVEL CUT branch. And it answers “how come the L & R trees APPEAR to have (they visually read as having) the same number of caps, even though the R tree has much more branch presence/ activity/ busyness/ inventory?” STOP SUPPRESSING THE BLUE CAP DOWN TO ONLY MORPHOLOGICALLY OCCUPY THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE TREE; the cap IS to be counted in the upper-level inventory, to enable comparing fairly L vs R tree. Stop artificially covering eyes (like I was doing) and pretending (like I was doing) that the blue cap isn’t part of upper level inventory! It’s very unreasonable to just “skip” this huge member of the upper level of that tree.

This philosophy of how to inventory, produces/ yields the fruit:

The whole game/ exercise is, FIND THE PHILOSOPHY OF INVENTORYING THAT YIELDS STRUCTURAL PARITY.

Question:HOW IS LEFT TREE LIKE RIGHT TREE?
Answer:Their upper levels (when counted/assessed the right way) are:
Bad/Good/Bad vs. Good/Bad/Good. And this DEFINITELY feels like by far the easiest, simplest reading of the trees’ upper levels.

• See breakthrough about left leg lame crutch mar 9 2023. {Lame Left Leg} in YI! YI & IY Pairs in Branching-Message Trees Morphology. That’s nice, because I kind of was wanting more corroboration of {lame left leg/ mortal left heel}, eg recently I tried to find if Hephestos has {lame left leg}; it was a hypothesis I was testing to find expressed/ asserted; very recently I was looking for– I posted, reasoning: SURELY we can deduce that {the goddess dips the mortal holding the heel that remains mortal}, SURELY it’s the left heel that’s mortal, SURELY Achilles’ left heel must be the Achilles’ heel, if the arbitrary/ traditional handedness convention mapping is used: left = possibilism-thinking, right = eternalism-thinking.

Method for branching message tree morphology inventory: Start at ground, move up.

If tie, left first.

Note the branch points where sky visible, state the morph’y at each split point.

Single cap is equivalent to cut branch. [10:34 p.m. March 8, 2023, for this 1st-pass “method of inventory” (which did NOT produce the sought/ planned/ expected discovery of an elegant summarizing pattern), but then I simplified this method the next morning early 6am, for the big breakthrough of elegance that I was expecting/ searching for]

The Ψ psi character didn’t copypaste well, can’t we avoid by KISS?

Nothing of significance is lost (just gratutuos confusing detail, I found) if we write Y instead of Ψ (psi).

Addl arg’n that it’s intentional botched cross-under, it’s a trompe l’oeil: look at left: the cross-behind upper stem appears to be originating from the left side.

The Bubble of Simulation: Subjective Experience as a Virtual Environment

When exploring the realms of fringe experiencing, it is helpful to understand that even ordinary experiencing is similar to a remarkably detailed and consistent hallucination of a world. In the loose cognition state of awareness, which occurs in advanced meditation, schizophrenia, and psychedelics, the veil of perception loosens and becomes a visible patchwork or mosaic, showing clearly that the world is only present to awareness in the form of dynamic mental models made of mental constructs. Loose cognition tangibly switches on the philosophizing mode, because the mind is fully confronted with its isolation. Philosophy of Mind, which comes from the West and includes skepticism, is a recent, vital approach to studying how the mind internally represents various types of objects and entities which constitute the world. Philosophy of Mind is about to collide with Transpersonal Psychology, from the East, which is also building up models of our innermost subjectivity and studying how the mind constructs its experienced world and the sense of being a person separate from that world.

Sitting at my desk reading about the philosophy of perception, I consider its strange implications for my apparent perception of myself in the scene of my study. Because this type of scene feels natural and intimately familiar, it is a typical example of how the mind internally recreates or simulates the external world, from simple material objects such as a cup, to more complex objects such as other people, and highly complex systems, such as the minds’s own thoughts about the mind.

Holding my coffee cup, I have the consistent impression of solidity and weight, but the feeling of roundness is a convincing illusion constructed entirely within my own mind. This fully compelling illusion that I am directly perceiving the cup itself is due to the perfect consistency of the mental impressions. While it is impossible to determine whether the external cup in fact exists, I can handle the cup to test its consistency within the local, subjective fishbowl of experience, but I cannot prove that there is in fact a cup out there.

I can only perceive the (alleged) external world in the indirect form of my mind’s self-created subjective experiencing. As long as the impression of my desk is consistent, the mind draws a shorthand identification of the mental construct of the desk with the alleged desk itself, failing to maintain the subtle distinction between the symbol ‘desk’ and the hidden (alleged) referent desk. But during a schizophrenic break, the mind’s model of the desk loosens and partly disintegrates, warping and rippling. The perfect consistency of the perceptual construct is broken, and like a drastic glitch in a film, the medium of representation becomes exposed and the illusion of direct access to reality is disrupted. The mental construct veil then points to itself as much as it points to the actual desk.

A book is usually experienced as a fixed, rigid object, with sentences arranged into a definite structure. But when the mind studies a book in a loosened state of cognition, the sentences and the meanings swim around noticeably, producing a cut-up effect. It is difficult to read while cognition is loosened, but the thinking occurs at a deep level, where complex meanings and possible connections can be built up, enabling the mind to seek hidden networks of significance in the most mundane books. When normal, tightly bound cognition returns, the book becomes innocent again.

I hold the book and the cup of coffee in my hands, and I move my arms and hands to turn the pages of the book. How do I experience my hand and control it? My hand, arm, and body might be substantial, but I can only experience them in the form of rich mental constructs. The relationship of my arms to my mind is essentially the same as telepresence, the control and monitoring loop between remote robotic equipment and a human operator. The mind includes a cybernetic control loop between the ego and the nerves in the arms. The ego performs the cybernetic role of the controller apparently residing inside the robot-like nervous system of the body, and once the mind gets the cybernetic feel of it, controlling the body feels as natural as driving a car.

Does my body move, or is there just a stream of shifting images and kinetic feelings? Awareness peers out from nowhere, and in information space, inserts itself into the apparent configuration or shape of a body. This convincing body with arms and legs extending out is known to me as a convention of illusion. It is only known to me as a detailed cartoon giving the impression of a 3-dimensional body. The experience of motion through spacial dimensions is a pre-programmed mental scheme to keep track of information, by constructing dynamic information structures, complex spacial models which seem to be real — simply given and non-arbitrary. During the loose cognition state of meditation or schizophrenia, awareness can be perceived as stationary, or non-mobile, the mind merely synthesizing the convincing subjective effect of movement. It is possible to feel, or “see with the third eye”, that the only place where the experiences of motion and the controller actually reside is in information space.

Ontic solipsism is the denial that other minds exist. I cannot tell whether any conscious creatures exist outside my mind. In my experience, dynamic tokens arise and act consistently like self-existent entities. They are like spirits in my head, constructed by auxiliary functions of my own mind, and kept separate from my self-construct by mental categorizing. After the experience of a love-bite from my cat, I swiftly moved my apparent arm toward the appearance of a cat, and although I heard a smacking sound as the cat-image fell to the floor, I cannot tell whether there is in fact a referent ‘cat’ object in the external realm. The cat-image ran away and disappeared, and is missing from the photograph I took of this scene. Maybe I never apprehended a cat at all — but my hand has tooth marks.

I am not sure my friend exists; all I have is a picture of him. Every time I perceive this allegedly existing person, that glob of perceptions in my head acts in a consistent pattern. When I tell my friend-symbol in my mind that as far as I know, he might only be a mental image, a mere complex idea, that friend symbol jokes nervously with me, reliably. Other minds, including cats and people, might not exist at all, except as apparently self-willed images in my mind, separate from the control system that I call my self-control. My center of personal activity has a certain type of interactive control over these “other mind” constructs that arise in my thought.

As I look out into this room during a schizophrenic break, not only is the impression of the desk wavering and disintegrating into component perceptions, not only is my friend looking more and more like a cartoon created by a loose mind, but the perception of myself is splitting into two layers: a distant, hypothesized object on the other side of my wall of senses, and a mental fabrication immediately present to awareness, merely posing as that object. In loose cognition, it is easy to apprehend the self-symbol as such: a convenient cognitive self- deception. All experience is in the form of mental constructs, which serve as a cartoonish reproduction of the world, and I only know this inner dweller in the form of a mental construct, the cartoon demon of “myself”.

Taking a fresh, loose look at my own cognitive functioning, it appears that the activities of my mind are themselves misconstrued, and my thinking and assumptions about my own cognition are only trustworthy when compensated by deeply pervasive skepticism. For example, I definitely perceive the experience of something called “will” or “self-control”, but that perception changes during advanced meditation, when it appears that my will just emanates from within me by itself — from a place within me that I cannot see. My willed actions then appear to emanate from beyond my awareness.

Eastern and Western philosophy have only met very recently. The work to combine them has barely begun. It’s a commonplace idea in Eastern philosophy that faith in external reality is extravagant. This idea combines easily with solipsism, which is one of the core ideas of Western philosophy. In magical, pre-rational awareness, and in modern ego-consciousness, there is confusion between the realms of the mind’s symbols and the objects referred to by those symbols, which leads to the assumption that mental constructs are not symbols but are the represented objects themselves. In transcendence or mastery of perception, the mind learns to be skeptical about its own perceptions and hypotheses. The advanced mind learns to draw conclusions that are always held with reservations about its ability to perceive the world, including the partly hidden, partly hallucinatory inner world and its delusional inhabitant.

Michael Hoffman appeared on The WELL, and posted a half-meg stream of psychoactive prose before we asked him to put a rope around it and rein in a piece for FWR. This piece is said to be the genesis of a book-length project.

Notice almost total lack of websites, though – unlike 1989 – emails have become normalized. Notice Gopher and ftp – bad old days before websites.

This year, 1994, was right when people like me were announcing the Web and only a handful of early adopters had any kind of Web presence.

It was a full 10 years before the Web became normal, around 2004 – making us impatient with ludicrous, thick-headed articles of the late 1990s, “Why your company should maybe have a website”.
