Psilocybin Eternalism is the one thing that effectively threatens ego steering power.
Science models mental model transformation: of time, control levels, and possibilities.
Unable to Avoid Seeing the Dread Theory
The attractive dread theory: In the eternalism state of consciousness, egoic possibilism thinking is drawn into the control vortex climax.
When the context of reception is so totally, absolutely biased against Psilocybin Eternalism, delivering a true theory – a true, simple, successful theory – is like trying to force-feed a baby who refuses to eat, and looks away to other, non-threatening theories that function to substitute and eliminate the one effective theory that threatens to undermine egoic freewill power.
right = altered-state psilocybin no-free-will non-branching (closed future) experiencing and thinking.
A theory that’s too open, too greedily broad and diffuse, that focuses on the all-inclusive outer boundary perimeter (eg vaguely asserting “psychoactives” or “states of consciousness” or “entheogenic in the wide sense” or “transcendental freedom”) instead of tethering attention narrowly to the central focus (Psilocybin eternalism) is effectively no distinct theory at all, and is useless and unhelpful.
A theory must be narrow and specific and must pointedly exclude competing theories.
The Egodeath theory agrees with all points that other people assert (such as you must submit & surrender, in the hero’s journey), except that only the Egodeath theory has a successful coherent integrated arrangement.
All other writers’ treatment of myth and mysticism fail because they reduce the altered state no-free-will experiencing descriptions to freewill ordinary state, or at best like Ruck/ Irvin, freewill Amanita.
The Exoteric Esotericism approach commits the category error of saying myth describes things of the possibilism-premised ordinary state.
Only the Egodeath theory asserts and recognizes that myth describes experiencing in the psilocybin altered state no-free-will eternalism.
Myth describes how the mind is forced to switch to the no-free-will mental model when exposed temporarily to the altered state from Psilocybin.
Why there cannot be a specific theory of Amanita at this time
The proposal that I also co-emphasize Amanita, elevating it to the grand lofty level of Psilocybin – that is impossible, because I have no fcking idea, and nobody in the field of entheogen scholarship has any idea, what the effects of Amanita are.
The Egodeath theory is not and cannot be about Amanita, because – like everyone else – I have no idea the effects of Amanita.
The Wasson/ Allegro/ Ruck/ Irvin/ Rush Amanita Primacy axiom rests on pure conjecture and conflation, as if Amanita is known to have Psilocybin (classic psychedelic) effects, when in fact the only thing we know about Amanita is that it does not produce classic psychedelic effects.
None of these guys even tried Amanita, except Heinrich one or two times.
What I can do though and what I have done is to make a determinate, definite, specific axiom:
Amanita is the billboard for Psilocybin.
A coherent, defensible, specific theory results from that axiom.
It’s impossible for me to say that my theory is one of Amanita, because I have no idea whatsoever what the effects of Amanita are.
So it is out of the question to say the word ‘mushrooms’ so as to assert statements about Amanita – for which I have no evidence.
I only know about Psilocybin, and that’s what I know about, and I can make determinate, fully defensible statements there.
Psilocybin Eternalism
No other theory recognizes that myth is description of Psilocybin eternalism experiencing, so they all go barking up the completely wrong tree, the wrong state of consciousness; or they look to the wrong types of psychoactives, all premised in egoic freewill branching thinking, which is based in the ordinary state.
It is practically necessary to FORCE not avoiding and substituting for Psilocybin, and to force making people unable to avoid head-on direct grappling with no-free-will eternalism-thinking; non-branching block universe with dependent control and pre-existing control-thoughts.
If I don’t force people to look straight at this monster, that would guarantee that they will perpetually drag their feet and put it off and substitute some BS for this theory instead.
Everyone is constitutionally fervently committed to the ABD theory, the Anything But Drugs axiom, specifically and especially the Anything But Psilocybin a priori commitment, along with the Anything But Eternalism commitment (a priori commitment to propping up egoic “freedom” and “empowerment” and the open future); preserve at all costs naive possibilism-thinking; “I am a king steering in a tree into an open future”.
“Please give me enlightenment, but for God’s sake, do not take away my power of being a king steering in a tree into an open future.”
“Whatever enlightenment is, it cannot be that, but it has to be something that amplifies my egoic freedom empowerment power.”
The specific problem is to prevent that specific pair of a priori commitments.
There is an extremely, intensely biased context of reception.
A neutral framing of the theory will definitely instantly fail, and will certainly and definitely be substituted by something else, anything else, as a defensive avoidance/ substitution strategy: the Atman project; pretending to pursue enlightenment, by means which prevent Enlightenment – which is to say, by any strategy other than Psilocybin Eternalism.
If I don’t specifically and pointedly emphasize Psilocybin Eternalism, it is absolutely guaranteed that people will strategically substitute anything else other than that, because this – Psilocybin Eternalism – is the one thing that effectively threatens ego steering power.
There is a very all-dominant falsehood that’s ruining the entire field of entheogen scholarship right now: everybody is intensely committed to denying and covering up Psilocybin in Western Religion.
Eleusis Kykeon is abused for the purpose of people denying and suppressing and ignoring psilocybin sacred meals, and Psilocybin symposium banqueting parties, and ignoring (normally psilocybin) branching-message mushroom trees; denying and ignoring and suppressing and deleting Psilocybin from Christian history – and from Greek history too.
That’s another reason why it is strategically mandatory to vigorously and pointedly assert and press the issue specifically asserting Psilocybin, to prevent everybody from substituting, ignoring, and shutting out Psilocybin by replacing it by scopolamine and cannabis and Amanita and everything and anything other than psilocybin, in order to rob our history of the main, primary substance and put people in cages “because Christianity’s historical practice has no Psilocybin”.
Instead of permitting the vigorous, committed, active suppression of Psilocybin and of no-free-will, it is necessary to put forth a theory in a 100% vigorous assertive, point-blank, unavoidable tethering to the main point: Psilocybin Eternalism.
Firm Assertion of High Dose Redosing 10-Session Psilocybin Altered State
If not forced to confront specifically Psilocybin Eternalism, everyone will substitute the stupid Amanita or substitute the stupid cannabis (like mis-calling MDMA a “psychedelic”) or substitute some assumption of free will possibility thinking.
With Hanegraaff, they will broaden definitions, as an evasion tactic and avoidance strategy, to get rid of ego death by getting rid of Psilocybin by falsely dubbing non-drug meditation as “entheogenic in the wide sense”.
I am DONE with the excuses to substitute anything and everything except the thing that matters, which is psilocybin.
Stop evading, stop avoiding, stop changing the subject and replacing and substituting the real deal.
For the purpose of theory construction, there is only one substance that we need to talk about and that is all self-sufficient and fully adequate: Psilocybin.
No other single substance is fully adequate and self-sufficient to construct a successful explanatory theory of myth and ego transcendence.
Firm Assertion of Eternalism Model of Mental Development
For the purpose of theory construction, there is only one model of mental development in the Psilocybin state, and that is this three-phase model:
1. The ordinary state, which is the possibilism experiential mode, which produces naive possibilism-thinking.
2. The altered state from Psilocybin, which is the eternalism experiential mode, which produces eternalism-thinking. Eternalism-thinking includes and subsumes possibilism-thinking, as qualified possibilism-thinking.
3. The ordinary state, which is the possibilism experiential mode, now retaining/ remembering eternalism-thinking.
{weight on left leg} = naive possibilism-thinking.
{weight on right leg} = eternalism-thinking.
{weight on no legs (or both legs), carrying limbless youth} = eternalism-thinking (which includes qualified possibilism-thinking).
All authors or theories will assume the ordinary state, or they will assume some garbled ordinary-state based conception of the altered state, unless I specifically force the point and force people to specifically weld their thinking and tie and tether their thinking specifically:
You can’t, you’re not permitted or allowed to substitute, avoid, or evade ego death: specifically focus on Psilocybin, specifically focus on no-free-will/ eternalism-thinking – because that’s specifically what you are intent on suppressing and replacing and substituting for.
That is the core strategy of ego delusion avoidance strategy, is specifically to steer away from Psilocybin Eternalism and replace it by anything at all other than that, because that is the one thing that’s actually a threat to egoic freedom power delusion.
Psilocybin Eternalism is the right way to read art/mythemes – as against reading all the wrong, category-error driven writings about myth and mysticism.
The mytheme {sacrifice the youth/ maiden} means Psilocybin eternalism.
My Key Mythemes catalog is the explanation of how myth describes, specifically, psilocybin eternalism.
This is a specific, narrow, particular interpretation theory, forcefully and pointedly casting all mythemes as refering to and describing experiencing psilocybin eternalism.
url https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/2020/11/15/mytheme-list/
The mytheme {passing through the dragon-guarded gate to get the treasure} means Psilocybin eternalism; the {dragon-guarded death gate} is actually transformation to no-free-will from Psilocybin.
Any move other than forcing and pressing the point and shoving people’s face in this point – if I don’t do that, then we will continue and perpetuate the ordinary state reduction category error of trying to interpret myth from the wrong point of view, of the freewill ordinary state.
Art mytheme images must be interpreted per the right genre: how does this image describe by analogy, Psilocybin no-free-will?
The {adbucted maiden} or {sacrificed child} to {become adult-form} must be recognized specifically as description of no-free-will Psilocybin – against all avoidance/ substitution theories, which all wish to misread myth as referring to freewill ordinary-state referents.
The theme of {maturation} specifically describes Psilocybin no-free-will experiencing.
Any qualifiers are subsumed under that main point; if you want to also talk about some stupid other scopolamine, or Amanita conjecture, or some stupid overemphasized return to free-will experiencing in the ordinary state afterwards, fine, but the main point is Psilocybin eternalism, not scopalamine freewill.
On one side of the battle, we have the Egodeath theory, and the evidence-base of myth, and we have the very scattered assertions that everybody makes, which I individually agree with (such as: submit, surrender, & higher consciousness).
On the other side of the battle is every writer other than me, both ancient and modern, who makes isolated true statements that are not integrated structurally, and they are not organized, and myth disagrees with their writings, and they know that they have no successful explanation for myth.
But at least they rescued egoic freewill power.
Degrees of Off-Base Reductionism & Category Error
url https://cyberdisciple.wordpress.com/evaluating-theories-of-mythology/
Reduction of Psilocybin Eternalism to the External Material Realm
The ~1887 book Classical Mythology by Helene Guerber makes this universal category error clearly visible by its rank, crude, clumsy, clear-cut assertion that myth describes the literal physical sun and weather, per the totally off-base notion that myth is primitive science explanation of the physical mundane world.
Older, sparser headings, b/w statues, more body text sections:

Newer, more frequent subheadings, missing sections, classical paintings:
url https://www.amazon.com/Classical-Mythology-Illustrated-Classic-Editions/dp/143516685X/
The 1887 theory of myth is materialist ordinary-state reductionism, it has no sense yet that myth describes experiencing in the psyche.
Complicated “sophisticated” dumb anthropology structuralism theories hadn’t been confabulated yet to provide a less obviously off-base explanation.
Structuralist anthopology says culture’s myth describes contrasted opposites: wild vs. cultivated.
Really, I can redeem the grain of truth here: {wild vs. cultivated} is like:
{wild} = chaotically entering the psilocybin loose cognitive association binding mode while relying on naive possibilism-thinking: unstable, collapses, a foundation of sand.
{cultivated} = refining the mental model to be able to rely on eternalism-thinking, which is coherent, reliable, stable, imperishable, non-collapsing, and viable, a foundation of rock.
See Cyberdisciple’s critique of Ruck’s (& Allegro’s) derailing his entheogen theory by delivering instead, half-baked 1880-era sky-castle anthropology theory.
We came here expecting to read about Entheogens, but instead, it’s a bait-and-switch.
We are instead fed a truckload of dubious, arbitrary, shot-in-the-dark, clueless Structuralism theory sky-castles, speculative theory-weaving instead.
We’re fed an arbitrary theory that Amanita myth describes the contrast of the Wild vs. the Cultivated – or per Allegro, a fertility totem, Amanita.
There is no consciousness, no phenomenology, no psilocybin altered state phenomenology in Carl Ruck’s book with “consciousness” in the title.
He tries, but it is just a mess, a bunch of random New Age garble, it’s not even clear that he’s talking about consciousness – no one can make any sense of what he’s talking about.
But no one talks substantively and clearly about loosecog Transcendent Knowledge. Dissolution of the ego = orange area.
Even Albert Hofmann’s weak book about spirituality was more articulate, and definitely is speaking about consciousness, but I can’t tell what Ruck’s book is talking about; it’s a bunch of vague poetry spew.
There is no altered state phenomenology in John Allegro’s book The sacred mushroom and the cross; it is all Amanita solely as fertility talisman, with no sense whatsoever of the visionary altered state, and myth as description of that experiencing domain.
This is not entheogen theory; this is retrograde, reject, dud failure academic theories, confabulations that came from the Anthropology department.
Martin Arnold’s book The Dragon: Fear and Power states that we cannot understand why the serpent dragon is the number one world mytheme.
The book tries to present an ordinary state based explanation that the dragon myth means fear in the ordinary state, and survival in the ordinary state from predators.
Reduction of Psilocybin Eternalism to the Ordinary-State Mental Realm
Campbell and Jung replaced that embarrassingly facile external-world, materialist reductionism by a more subtle reductionism: “archetypes of the unconscious” (in the freewill ordinary state of consciousness).
Joseph Campbell commits the standard massive universal category error of describing, he thinks that the hero’s journey describes the ordinary state – when in fact, it describes the no-free-will transformation in the Psilocybin altered state.
Reduction of Psilocybin Eternalism to the Altered-State Freewill Experiencing Mental Realm
Getting closer; less cold; you’re getting warmer, not so wildly off-base now:
Irvin & Rutajit in Astrotheology & Shamanism reduce psilocybin eternalism to a mishmash of freewill Amanita and external materialist world (“myth refers to the literal physical sun”).
url https://www.amazon.com/Astrotheology-Shamanism-Unveiling-Christianity-Religions/dp/1585091073/
None of the reductionist theories are based in no-free-will psilocybin experiencing; they don’t see that the referent of myth is psilocybin eternalism experiencing.
Semi-specifically, myth describes things experienced in the Psilocybin altered state in the psyche, as Robert Graves discovered in 1957.
(But fails to perceive the no-free-will revelation experience, which myth strives to describe by analogies.)
And as Ralph Metzner wrote about later.

Wouter Hanegraaff’s book Hermetic Spirituality and the Historians’ Imagination: Altered Knowledge as if Freewill Revelation From Non-Drug Imagination Exercises is typical, not unique, in that he misreads altered state myth as if it’s describing ordinary-state free will experiencing – or, contradictory altered-state ordinary-state-type freewill experiential mode.

To accomplish this, he has to remove all of the stars from the sky, because he cannot permit the ego death & rebirth gate to lead to an outcome of heimarmene eternalism experiencing, no-free-will eternalism-thinking.
You will never be able to follow and comprehend that {sacrificing to the fate-ruling planetary archons in honor of them} is the same thing as {surrendering to the fate-ruler planetary archons} and {escaping the turmoil from the fate-archons} – you will never understand the altered-state referent of those descriptors as long as you commit the category error of interpreting myth as if description of ordinary-state free will experiencing.
You will never be able to follow and comprehend that {killing the dragon} is the same thing as {surrendering to the dragon} and {riding/ being carried by the dragon} – you will never understand the altered-state referent of those descriptors as long as you commit the category error of interpreting myth as if description of ordinary-state free will experiencing.
Non-Reductionist Recognizing Psilocybin Eternalism No-free-will in the Altered-State Experiencing Mental Realm
Most specifically & really, myth describes eternalism no-free-will non-branching experiences in the Psilocybin altered state in the psyche.
