My theory construction postulating an inversion of valuation of eternalism from early to late antiquity goes back to maybe 2000 Gnosticism Yahoo Group debate with Coraxo.
The serpent (the altered-state eternalism revelation experience) is wisdom and also is disparaged.
Dylan Burns on the Birth of Free Will in Late Antiquity – Oddcast
Some new points, and a few of my recent comments copied from bottom of WordPress pages.
Last night I read aloud in voice recordings potentially for the Egodeath Mystery Show some Cyberdisciple pages linked from his new site map like section of new freeform page: https://cyberdisciple.wordpress.com/tabula-rasa/
In April 1987 when I switched from idea development in cramped blank books to binder filler sheets, my effective intelligence skyrocketed and by just January 1988, I reached the coherent Science-based superior equivalent of Alan Watts’ half-articulate “satori”.
Transition from cramped blank books to expansive filler sheets:
Even if I don’t upload my voice recordings, the text here largely reflects that development.
My posting quality composition on mobile IS lower than 2001-2019 Egodeath Yahoo Group blog posts (incremental 10/10-quality blocks that were composed to be copied to Egodeath.com site & to be unsurpassable in quality by evil future me).
The lower quality is justified as cost of experimentation with idea devmt tech.
WordPress warns me that this site is getting lots of traffic and therefore I’m going to sell out and start telling ppl the usual tripe they are accustomed to from the burgeoning Psychedelics Industry.
But like Erik Davis, I pay no attention to cowtow to the audience’s unimaginative expectations.
It’s all about Theory Idea Development, followers be damned 🥾
Hardhat construction zone, don’t get run over.
Working to Destroy the Field of Psychedelics, Under the Pretext of Helping
Fake ill-motivated psychedelics muckraker parasites don’t even know that legal ergot psychotherapy was in 1950-1966, got EXPOSED as poser outsider invaders who only care about trying to divide and destroy the psychedelics industry – leveraging real concerns for the purpose of pure destruction just like Richard Carrier’s crowd destroyed the atheism community – they had no idea what hit them, instant annihilation of the entire community – great accomplishment.
The Psychedelics industry is wise to this divide-and-destroy strategy, perverse motives.
Using criticism (of varying legitimacy) as a pretextual strategy to justify the real goal, of destruction.
Specializing in criticism of others (hardly matters if legit or not), instead of building, is used a means to an end: wreaking destruction, as an end in itself.
We should worry about Big Pharma cooptation of psychedelics, but that’s a pretext for the real passion, by outsider phony actors who were exposed as not even knowing elementary history of 1950-1966.
We should worry about the New Age approach.
3rd-party invaders take it upon themselves to defend others who they judge as needing defending, who never asked the self-appointed zealous whistleblowers to do that.
When a third party tries to destroy others on others’ behalf, that’s a self-serving interloper move.
Positions Are Now Open for Under-Qualified Session Guides – Apply Today for Inadequate Training!
The possible danger or limitations of Martin Ball’s experimental counselling approach perhaps should be noted, but without that warning-call itself maximizing destruction, of Ball’s edgy dubious practices as a session guide.
You too can be an under-qualified psychedelic therapy session guide!
Enrollment is now open in our new experimental course!
My message is not “I threateningly predict doom, catastrophic loss of control in psilocybin clinics, unless guides bow down to my eternalism theory.”
We need to minimize turmoil and ensure transformation, instead of confused clients avoiding alienated eternalism.
Guides need to be good midwives for the spiritual emergence transformation, producing successful mental model transformation and useful stability of control to harness the altered state, all able to go in and out of the gate guarded garden.
Without educating guides and clients, we cannot maximize our ability to go in and out of the psilocybin garden.
To be able to use psilocybin fully, we must learn and integrate eternalism.
Contradictions and Inconsistencies in the Amanita Primacy Assumption
Typically the “old theory” has more contradictions than the superior “new theory” that replaces it.
The Amanita Primacy assumption leads to condemning the absence of “mushrooms” in the demonized Church, while asserting their presence.
See my expose of John Rush 2nd Edition 2022 book self-contradictory narrative, near idea devmt page 14; search on his book title.
I today recognized that my 2002 rejection of the Minimal/Moderate view (that defines the field of entheogen scholarship) is tantamount to rejecting the books’ Amanita Primacy narrative/assumption/ mythic tale, a self-reifying pop echo chamber as Letcher Hatsis disparaged.
That’s equivalent to the religionism error that Hanegraaff criticizes: bad historiography based on myth produces pseudo-history.
The Moderate entheogen theory of religion, aka Minimal, aka Secret Amanita Alchemy Primacy myth puts westerners in cages because Supreme Court reasons that “everyone knows that western religion has Amanita, not Psilocybin”.
EVERY book passage now parrots this noxious self-defeating, myth-based pseudo-history canard, “western religion vs. indigenous psilocybin” – thus removing psilocybin from Western history and giving dud bunk reject Amanita instead, to exclude psilocybin.
As if there was no Georgio Samorini mushroom-trees article (with its inflated Amanita narrative sized to falsely match its new, revealed, major contribution of exposing the numerous psilocybin mushroom trees aka “St Sauvin type” vs “Plaincourault type”).
Putting myth-founded pseudo-history aside like Hatsis partly does with Amanita Christmas, I reckon almost all mushroom trees are Psilocybin – but that doesn’t fit the myth-based Amanita Narrative, the purpose of which is to exclude psilocybin from western history.
And which has succeeded so well, that Hatsis assumes psilocybin is literally unthinkable, even while he sets his sights on taking down “the myth of there being any mushrooms” (===🍄) in Christian history.
Eleusis over-focus = the Amanita Primacy fallacy = the Moderate/Minimal entheogen theory.
A Clear-Cut, Elegant Scientific Explanatory Model of Transformative Religious Revelation
My most recent idea development in voice recordings has made some progress to turn the corner here, by emphasizing with simple clarity the merit of both of the states and both of the experiential modes.
I cannot withhold the core model and censor my simple core theory, that’s death and helps no one by trying to offend no view and assert no view.
I will more clearly assert the core theory and compensate by presenting a both-sides presentation.
There is no theory if I fog it all up.
Prevaricating causes mental harm, but I must provide healing and harm reduction during the stressful transformation during the spiritual rebirth process.
Instead of compromising with expectations, I’m siding with the astonishing ego death experiential revelation.
After that surprise in the altered state – the block-universe vision that undermines egoic presuppositions – that vision preserves freewill thinking unharmed, yet adds a state-specific, 2nd, additional world-model, which restores harmony in the altered state; then after that, the return to 24×7 ordinary state with freewill possibilism shaped experiencing, now with understanding of eternalism added to it, losing nothing;
Abraham loved Isaac (egoic possibilism-thinking) and they walk away unharmed and prosper, now blessed with Transcendent Knowledge, the ram caught powerlesssly in the thicket serving as harmless symbol isomorphic representing full comprehension of revealed 2-level dependent control during the religious state of consciousness.
This is how the mind is designed to interact with psilocybin, I am clearly and simply and neutrally and scientifically reporting for the fast, straightforward benefit for everyone, to minimize mental strain during maturation to adult form, which includes the initial youthful form, now qualified and used daily.
Moderate = Minimal = Secret Amanita
My comment on Cyberdisciple page Muraresku chapters critique:
Your sections (or my 2002 categories) “By Moderate,” and “By Minimal,” are practically identical and not possible to differentiate – because in practice, they operate from the same essential assumption-set much of the time, resulting in de facto only two differentiable positions:
the Moderate aka Minimal position aka the Amanita Primacy fallacy
vs.
the Maximal position aka the Psilocybin Primacy axiom
—
could add: (Secret) Amanita, as Cyberdisciple points out that what Letcher Hatsis is actually debunking is the SECRET hypothesis of spread of secret Amanita cult.
John Lash ridicules one of Wasson’s two ideas (that all world religion spread from a single Secret Amanita cult in the Ural mountains), even though Lash sickeningly idolizes Wasson and WAY overemphasizes Wasson’s total ownership of all your thoughts about entheogens – why isn’t Letcher Hatsis debunking Wasson & Ruck, who along with Allegro created the echo-chamber myth of Amanita Primacy?
Multiple differing parties had reasons to fabricate the Amanita Primacy fallacy – to parade the big red kiddie mushroom as “the mushroom” – never mind that Amanita is the lamest mushroom, as any authentic actual bona fide mushroom gatherer knows.
Allegro is far from alone in fabricating the grotesque mythically exaggerated overemphasis on Amanita.
Blame all of them, including your wannabe buddy Ruck! – who exposed Hatsis as a Latin poser per Brown’s rebuttal article at Graham Hancock’s website.
Ruck gave Hatsis the boot, flipped the bozo bit, so why doesn’t Hatsis criticize Ruck for pushing the (Secret) Amanita Primacy fallacy/ folk mythic that, like the religionism that Hanegraaff warns against, tries to make myth the foundation for historiography?
The Amanita Primacy fallacy was fabricated by Wasson, Allegro, Ruck, Heinrich, Irvin, & Rush – the whole damn field of entheogen scholarship, not JUST Allegro & Irvin.
The field of entheogen scholarship must be re-centered around Psilocybin instead of Amanita – against Wasson, Allegro, Ruck, Heinrich, Irvin, Rutajit, and Rush, who ALL fabricated the Amanita Primacy fallacy, on the mythical foundation of the Secret Amanita premise, which is based in the ordinary state by people who don’t even seriously research Muscimol.
If they can’t be troubled to bother researching Muscimol, then I reject their Amanita altogether, as a harmful replacement that ROBS our history of Psilocybin.
Amanita means Psilocybin, in head shop art and in our great grandparents’ art by the very same token.
The Egodeath Theory Doesn’t at all Come from Entheogen Scholarship
The Egodeath theory was 0% influenced or informed by Wasson or Allegro.
In no way whatsoever did the Egodeath theory depart from or start from Wasson or Allegro – unlike Hatsis, who started off gullibly following the Wasson/ Allegro/Ruck mythic pseudo-history, of the Secret Amanita supposition.
Hatsis projects his own original gullibility onto Brown & me.
I eventually critiqued Wasson and Allegro to sort out their good and bad ideas.
Can’t decide the best framing? permute all combinations of them. Each framing contributes.
The only plant that’s sufficient, alone, for full expression and assertion of the Egodeath theory is Psilocybin. Efficient.
Ergot is sufficient for defining the Core theory, but Psilocybin is sufficient for both the Core/ Cybernetics theory and the Mytheme theory.
History Hypotheses
Mystery Religion & mixed-wine symposium banqueting was more inspired by Psilocybin than Ergot. In Ancient Near East, Mediterranean, Levant, Europe, England.
Christianity & Christendom was more inspired by Psilocybin than Amanita.
The correct definition of “more inspired” is, per the concerns of Egodeath theory.
Esoteric-state history had scopolamine and Amanita, but the inspired parts are from psilocybin.

There’s a delay: when switching to the altered state, even though the eternalism experiential mode is immediate, it takes a while to form the eternalism mental model.
The new state produces the new mental model, eventually.

SHWEP podcast & Oddcast covers no-free-will in Early Antiquity and the invention of freewill in Late Antiquity
How come this scholar who runs this podcast has no problem effortlessly mentioning that the initiate ascends through the planetary spheres and then the sphere of the fixed stars…
yet Wouter Hanegraaff has NO IDEA where to place the fixed stars so he just solves his problem by removing all of the stars and redefining “beyond the stars” to mean above Saturn?
and in practice suppresses and moves down the zodiac constellations into the planetary spheres below / before the Saturn gate of ego death exorcism & rebirth?
The challenge here is to answer the question in a simple, pointed, understandable way:
Why does Wouter Hanegraaff remove the stars from the sky when talking about entheogen-induced rebirth and getting rid of fate?
Hanegraaff assumes that ego death and rebirth cannot lead to heimarmene (no-free-will; eternalism; dependent control; non-branching possibilities; pre-existence of control-thoughts).
He assumes that ego death and rebirth must remove such things and replace them by freewill; freedom; autonomous control; branching possibilities; possibilism.
Hanegraaff latches onto the “I Hate Fate” theme of Late Antiquity and misreads the hermetic text which says “the maiden sacrificed in surrender and in honor of the fate-controller planetary archons” as if hermetic text said “the maiden offered sacrifice to the ultra-transcendent Source, and the Source then made the fate-controller archons surrender to her and go away.”
Hermetic texts might be coherent when precisely judged by some poet who has a form grasp of the actual trajectory that Early Antiquity delivered and glorified.
But Late Antiquity’s advanced poetic ironic inversion are themed around the confusing emphasis on movement from no-free-will to freewill, which is a backwards overall direction and it tries to appear to eliminate heimarmene rather than reconcile with heimarmene.
April D. DeConick’s book The Gnostic New Age similarly contrasts, like Luther H. Martin (Hellenistic Religions), the reaction of Late Antiquity against the eternalism-overemphasizing Early Antiquity.
This is how Late Antiquity invented free will, and that development led to the other lopsided emphasis, in 1950 late modern era we totally forgot the altered-state eternalism that Early Antiquity emphasized.
Now we must combine both the eternalism-only gnosis of early antiquity plus the possibilism-only glorification that was fabricated from Late Antiquity to Late Modern era.
Only an emptied ordinary-state reductionist shell of religious mythology remained, by the Late Modern era, even in Joseph Campbell’s relatively sophisticated (ordinary-state confined) hero’s journey with treasure won from the guarding dragon.
Accurate Developmental Sequence Model
Simple reference model of mental model development in the entheogen-induced altered state: MAP MYTH TO this model as the foundation for clear thinking:
1. Experience freewill/ branching/ autonomous control in the ordinary state.
2. Experience no-free-will/ non-branching/ dependent control/ pre-existence of control-thoughts, in the altered state. The mind is reshaped accordingly, while also retaining eternalism-thinking too, as a separate, distinct model.
3. Experience freewill/ branching/ autonomous control in the ordinary state, and remember eternalism-thinking from the altered state.
more detailed version:
1. In the ordinary state, start with the freewill branching-possibilities mode of experiencing. Autonomous control.
2. In the psilocybin altered state, experience eternalism; no-free-will, non-branching possibilities, and 2-level, dependent control, with near-future control thoughts already existing unavoidable on the path ahead; pre-existence of control-thoughts. Perceive and experience that you as a control agent are dependent on an uncontrollable source of control thoughts. Threat and demonstrate dependence. When brought into alignment with perceived mechanism of dependence, release and gain new mode of stability of control.
3. Return to the freewill branching autonomy experiential state.
Hanegraaff’s Egoic Backwards Model of Cognitive Development
Hanegraaff’s backwards model of altered state cognitive development derived from the ironic poetic I Hate Fate theme of heimarmene-reactionary Late Antiquity:
1. egoic enslavement to Fate/ heimarmene/ no-free-will. Demonized, very heavily disparaged and loathed Fate (“cancer, sickness, poison”, etc)
2. cast out the egoic, Fatedness negative traits to pass through ego death and rebirth into freedom = honoring the Source.
So Hanegraaff’s model is:
1. eternalism; no-free-will
2. pass through the ego death & rebirth gate at top of the Saturn onion layer of the cosmos. slough off negative traits = exorcise eternalism/ fate/ heimarmene/ block-universe no-free-will.
3. reach destination: freedom empowerment, unity with Source (John Lash: “everyone but me has ego-inflation spirituality”)
In a Loose Cognitive Science, or transpersonal developmental psychology version of the Religionism error re: bad historiography method, Hanegraaff commits the religionism error when he makes ambiguous poetic mythic analogy the foundation of his model of the mind’s developmental transformation in the entheogen induced altered state.
The Egodeath theory uses the correct methodology of pure cognitive science to first model and explain how the mind transforms in the entheogen state when moving back-and-forth between the ordinary state and the altered state while observing and probing the self-control system.
That proper basis was from 1985 to 1998 (with some interpretation of rock lyrics as analogy since 1988).
Then after that, I read David Ulansey’s book from 1989, 1998-2006 and in 2005 Erik Davis accurately and clearly summarized my, in book Led Zeppelin 4, explanation of astral ascent mysticism referring by analogy ultimately to mental developmental phases.
First, accurately model mental development, and then explain the twisted inverted “I Hate Fate” repurposing of mythology analogies that early antiquity created – like the best rock lyrics – to rightly report the astonishing unexpected no-free-will altered state experience and release from it.
Hanegraaff commits the confusing error of starting from poetic ambiguous “I Hate Fate” repurposing of early antiquity’s mythology which described mental altered state transformation, so he ends up with a freewill-premised reverse model of mental altered state development, as if we are transformed from egoic no-free-will to transcendent freewill; freedom empowerment. 💪
List of Relevant Episodes
Back when the Egodeath Theory discussion group used to be good, before the quality plummeted and fell off a cliff, I would have efficiently used a plain text editor to summarize all 200 episodes of this podcast.
But now I just carelessly upload failed voice transcriptions, garbled incomplete sentences, and I leave that as an exercise for the reader.
When intensity starts to decline, redose the 2nd round of mixed wine.
This safely creates a twin mountain approximating a trapezoid or twin mountain, instead of a triangle.
This redosing technique to flatten curve and sustain the peak is most useful & practical with fast-onset plants, not eg cactus or ibogaine which takes many hours to reach peak.
Simplified model: peak time = 2 hours after t0 of dose 1.
At time of peak = 2 hours, take 2nd round of wine.
As effect from dose 1 declines, effect from dose 2 rises.
The decline & the rise cancel out, giving a flat constant intensity that has a duration that’s the same as the rise time.
Oregon 109’s redose: 25mg then at t-peak= 2 hours, 2nd 25 mg dose.
Resulting shape: 2 hours of rise ramp then 2 hours of constant cruise level then 2 hours of ramp decline to baseline.
Timing and amount of round 2 or 3 causes safe oscillation around target intensity level.
Schedule35 website, or article about Golden TEACHER strain of cubensis, claims 4 hours total – but instead focus on a burst trigger model:
What is the time to rise to peak level? That’s what matters for useful redose timing design, not total duration.
At what time is decline detected? Serve next round of wine when detect decline.
You have no brake pedal, and instead of a variable gas pedal, you have a pushbutton to initiate a ramp up that takes x hours to peak.
Golden Teacher is supposedly short-lasting, has ramp-up time of half of the 4 hours total duration = 2 hours.
Let us do a simple demo curve summation calculation based on 2 hours ramp-up time.
That is the number to focus on: time to peak = 2 hours, therefore after start declining at 2 hours, then do 2nd round; initiate ramp-up to compensate for the decline.
Resulting shape: trapezoid, or twin mountain; or the most sophisticated model/ intensity curve shape to aim for is: ramp up, then oscillate around the target level, then ramp down.
2 hours of climb, then 2 hours of fairly constant cruise intensity level, then 2 hours of decline to baseline.
Can do a 3rd round of mixed wine when start to decline: thus can effect the ideal goal of oscillating safely around the target intensity level.
Activity per Eadwine Image
Test control stability when rely on no-free-will / non-branching possibilities.
Freewill/branching gives control-instability. No-free-will/non-branching gives control stability.
When you give psilocybin, you must teach eternalism, to be equipped; to reduce strain and to successfully transform.
If curriculum for psilocybin trainers doesn’t teach this first principle, the harmful result is mental strain and failure to transform and resolve into the transcendent mature form.
I recorded a week of spoken development of this idea. I want to write a curriculum model about this to lead all psilocybin educational material.
Photo: Julie Brown (unless from the other version i found) – crop by Cybermonk April 2022. Left = branching = ordinary state.
OR Measure 109 & CO Prop 122 are actually mainly about religious use of psilocybin even though couched as therapy clinic. In mythic-described tradition, psilocybin transformation to eternalism is the paradigmatic model of healing. It is malpractice antd anti-healing to give someone psilocybin without teaching them eternalism. The main effect of psilocybin is eternalism transformation.
Freewill thinking is good and valid for the ordinary state, no-free-will for altered state.
Do not disrespect possibilism, bc after transformation we rely on possibilism-thinking; freewill branching type experiential mode though remain able to enter the altered state by relying on eternalism-thinking during loose cognition.
Psychedelics Today org at their website(s) & YouTube has good links related to psilocybin RELIGIOUS/ SPIRITUAL “clinic therapy”.
We demand repeal of Prohibition and companies must support that.
In a recent voice recording not released yet, I refute the implied claim that I’ve ever said:
Only psilocybin is important or present in western religious history.
What I did say is that we should put all attention and all investment on psilocybin.
For one reason, psilocybin is in fact a primary plant, whereas amanita and scopolamine and cannabis are merely secondary, which is to say, they are non-primary.
Another reason why extreme attention is required on Psilocybin is because this is the only way to effectively counter and destroy and smash the status quo that has, just as Thomas Hatsis has complained, the Amanita Primacy theory has driven entheogen scholarship into a dead end, causing the field to lose credibility, to forfeit effectiveness, and to lose believability and relevance.
Carl Ruck paints a cartoonish unreal picture, where only two men in the Church at any point in time know about secret amanita alchemy.
Ruck is obsessed on his one-dimensional, reductionist description of plant history so as to reduce the field of entheogen scholarship and western religion into a tiny little thimble: the Carl Ruck little tiny cage of secret Amanita alchemy.
Allied with Letcher Hatsis, I am dismantling the malformed Amanita false primacy narrative by Wasson Allegro Ruck Heinrich Irvin Rush – the guilty parties, the mis-leaders to fight against and destroy, shove their loud and wrong mythic tale aside to make them stop misleading and mis-directing the field of entheogen scholarship.
Clark Heinrich’s book titles overemphasize secret alchemy, and he collaborates with Ruck to narrow and stunt the field and remove / withhold the thousands of psilocybin images from Hellenistic and Christian art.
Pilocybin, not Amanita ( nor Cannabis nor Scopalamine) is the key, definitive, most relevant plant, which is best suited for decoding myth into its actual ultimate loose cognitive referent.
My values and objectives per the Egodeath theory are superior and true: to bring scientific understanding of Transcendent Knowledge; to create the most important and valuable field of science, which is Loose Cognitive Science.
There is only one plant that is necessary and sufficient to build a completely successful theory of core Transcendent Knowledge and of religious history and myth: psilocybin.
Such type of successful explanatory theory cannot be built on scopolamine alone, and it cannot be built on cannabis alone, and it cannot be built on Amanita alone – but it can be built on psilocybin alone!
The goal is not to make the smallest theory; the goal of scientific explanation models explanatory models is the ratio:
The winner is the model that has the largest explanatory power achieved by the smallest theory.
Too small of a theory rapidly loses its explanatory power, and this is why unfortunately it was necessary for me to formally summarize as an essential basis for explanation a complicated three-level model of Transcendent Knowledge in history:
3) qualified possibilism-thinking (liable to negatively value eternalism revelation)
Abused Myth (Hermetic texts as received and framed by Hanegraaff) overemphasizes moving from phase/level 2 to 3, in order to tell a false story that the main transformation direction is from no-free-will to freewill.
To do this, he covertly moves the fixed stars (heimarmene) down below (ie before) the Saturn rebirth gate.
He cannot allow rebirth into no-free-will; he fabricates a false rebirth into freewill, reversing the cosmic model levels to try to accomplish this herculean impossible task.
My latest four-phase model, that I have spoken about yesterday, is able to handle explaining a complexity which I have been explaining for many years, which is in my 2006 summary article: that the heimarmene worldline snake is treated in myth as both positive and negative in value, when we contrast,
Per Luther H. Martin, I incorporate his description of the contrast between early antiquity, which positively valued eternalism, vs late antiquity, which negatively valued eternalism, and confusing myth resulted.
Their complications which they introduced demand for me to explain them.
It is obligatory and mandatory that if my theory is any good at all, if it has any relevance at all, it is a strict requirement that my theory must explain the confused complexities of three-level, false & garbled religion which tries to tell a false and misleading story of how cognitive development works.
The condensed true, 2-level model (the main altered-state transformation effect) is:
Psilocybin changes from freewill to no-free-will.
They try to tell the lie, a lying form of religious mythology, the Hanegraaff lie which is: the mind transforms on psilocybin from no free will to Freewill – which is only slightly true, a minor reverse eddy current, not the main current/ vector/ trajectory/ direction of altered-state cognitive mental-model development.
Begin here with my latest, four-phase description of the actual developmental trajectory of the mind, the mental model, across the two states of consciousness:
4. tight cognition with possibilism experiencing + eternalism-thinking
3. loose cognition with eternalism experiencing + eternalism-thinking
1. tight cognition with possibilism experiencing + possibilism-thinking
what the late antiquity liars do is exaggerate focus on moving from eternalism revelation to baseline consciousness possibilism experiencing.
They falsely picture salvation as moving from no-free-will to freewill, from eternalism to possibilism, because “I Hate Fate”; they came to perceive and resent the Heimarmene which early antiquity delivered to them and had venerated.
The actual main transformation is from possibilism to eternalism, not eternalism to possibilism as Wouter Hanegraaff is suckered into tale-telling in his June 2022 book Hermetic Spirituality – a lie revealed by his being forced to lower the heimarmene stars to below (ie before) the rebirth gate even though all science and all esotericists declare Hanegraaff’s moving downward of the stars insane and nonstandard and irrational and incoherent to the extreme.
Hanegraaff falsely claims that this book cover image depicts moving from no-free-will to freewill.
The image depicts casting out heimarmene, he falsely claims, via the rebirth process.
In fact, cognitive development goes the other direction, but people hate their egos being undermined, so they fabricated garbled revision of the original true mythology, forming Satanic reversal of myth so as to claim to go through rebirth from no-free-will into freewill.
To support that falsified myth, they abandoned psilocybin and used methods that are guaranteed to not work, to be ineffective at undermining egoic delusion.
These substitute methods are pushed by phony Zen Master Brad precisely because they don’t work, but preserve deluded possibilism-thinking.
Just like in 1925 block-universe relativity eternalism caused the false reaction, the ego-defense reaction, of fabricating quantum physics ideology to rescue and save the ego steersman who wields the kingly power of steering among branching manyworlds.
The poetry-abusing fake fraud priest huckster salemen the Hermetic text authors misled Hanegraaff, selling him snake oil mystic ascent “from no-free-will to freewill” though in truth, that vector is merely minor.
The *main* vector, honorably reflected with integrity in Mithraism, is from freewill-premised thinking to the no-free-will revelation that you do not control the source of your control thoughts.
Ego Death theory is a set of bets, eg Jesus didnt exist, earth went around sun 1300 times between Julius and Ozzy (chronology revision) … but these bets and conjectures are arranged in different priorities:
Inner core /
outer core /
inner periphery /
outer periphery of the Egodeath theory.
it is strategic; there are pros and cons of having a theory actually take a damn stand – instead of wussily and ineffectively claiming everybody is right and every plant is important and every religion is true and every philosophy, every mystic writing is true and everybody’s correct. we are left with delusion ignorance, ambiguous poetry, not STEM-level straightforward comprehension & teaching.
You cannot teach people transcendent knowledge through telling them the lie that Amanita has primacy for theory construction and history, when in fact psilocybin has and deserves primacy instead.
I am all about betting the entire ego death theory; to be a theorist, to define a theory, is to make bets.
Not everyone has the guts and evidence and reasoning to make such bets, to construct and assert a new explanatory paradigm.
I bet the Egodeath theory all the time and produced a long string of wins.
I bet the Egodeath theory on the primacy of psilocybin against damned amanita, dead-end unprofitable phony king, the false king Amanita that brings discredit on the field of entheogen scholarship. But it’s a matter of integrated and distinct theory components.
Entheogen scholarship is not = the Egodeath theory; one component of it, & one component of my entheogen scholarship theory (the Mytheme metaphor theory) is that the ultimate analogy vision inducing plant is psilocybin in western religious history – regardless of how many sessions with each plant. Or how many times the plant is named in texts.
Later Irvin demonizes Ruck as pushing the hell out of Amanita without ever ingesting it.
That wouldn’t surprise me, the passionate pushing of a plant Ruck hasn’t even tested. It’s all about the narrative, the story, the free-form Anthropology poetry that’s this academic genre, as analyzed by Cyberdisciple.
Carl Ruck’s word ‘secret’ is everything wrong with the field of entheogen scholarship.
This is his reductionist paradigm that he forces and steers misdirecting the whole field into his little thimble which ends up taking away our plants from our history.
The function of the false Amanita Primacy doctrine in entheogen scholarship is to remove delete subtract and deny and eliminate Psilocybin from history and from its rightful place of primacy.
100% of our effort ought to be to recognize the primacy of Psilocybin and overthrow the noxious stranglehold that the Amanita Primacy false theory has on entheogen scholarship.
That is totally not an assertion that western religious history lacks scopalamine or amanita or cannabis or acacia rue.
It would be a misrepresentation of the Egodeath theory to claim that the Egodeath theory is betting everything on Psilocybin-only.
The Egodeath theory proposes assertively the primacy of Psilocybin against the false claim by Gordon Wasson, John Allegro, Carl Ruck, Clark Heinrich, Jan Irvin, & John Rush that Amanita has primacy, and against Thomas Hatsis’ Scopalamine primacy, and against Chris Bennett’s Cannabis primacy assertion/claim.
One reason which I recorded out of about five reasons why psilocybin has primacy:
Thomas Hatsis warns us do not try scopolamine it is deadly toxic. Then contrast psilocybin which is harmless (aside from maybe wood lovers paralysis).
Anybody can scientifically test psilocybin to see whether it is the best producer of religious mythology experiencing. Unlike dud failure Amanita.
As far as we know from our near-nonexistent testing of it, Amanita experiencing does not produce religious myth, which describes by analogy, classic psilocybin dynamics.
Myth directly describes psilocybin mental model transformation to the non-branching world model with frozen embedded dependent control, demonstrating the illusion and impotence and disprovabity and instability and vulnerability of the initial control model that’s premised on autonomous control that’s steering in a branching-possibilities world.
And anybody can test swallowing several vials of thc cannabis extract (aching stomach) and scientifically test and prove that it is visionary but not psychedelic; not properly psychedelic, a poor match with religious mythic description of the things experienced in the classic psychedelic state.
Criticisms, or Misrepresentations?
A time-tested rule is that criticisms of the Egodeath theory are always misrepresentations of the Egodeath theory.
Nothing’s stopping anyone from making criticisms, which is to say, making misrepresentations of what I’ve said and asserted.
Idea development is all about increasing clarity, clarification of what I am asserting and what I am not asserting.
Stamets Is Wrong, Biased, and Is Part of the Amanita Primacy Fallacy
My voice recording announcement of a challenge yesterday is yet another example of how:
You cannot formulate an explanatory theory if you are not willing to assert bets against the entire field or the entire world.
Every mycologist is wrong when they claim that cubensis didn’t grow on bovine dung in England until 1976, that cubensis isn’t in Europe before 1976.
This is simply blindness.
All the scholars, all of the learned academics know that there are no psychedelics in our own religious history.
And they will deflect and interpret away and explain away as Thomas Hatsis brags about doing to easily explain away thousands and thousands of evidence, by employing bad wrong false framing of course, as well as sheer ignorance and closing your eyes not even attempting to see psilocybin mushrooms.
The main cognitive effect of ingesting Amanita scholarship is to make you blind to psilocybin.
Everyone in the field of entheogen scholarship knows what I mean:
The art scholars do not even attempt to see the thousands of mushrooms in Christian art, so tell me the names of the Mycologists in England who went around looking at cow dung before and after 1976.
No one looked for mushrooms on cow dung in England in the 20th C, and then Stamets falsely claims that they aren’t there, because they weren’t reported.
We know there are no mushrooms in Christian art, or else art historians would have reported them.
Did you forget the principle that the world moves from ignorance to awareness, per science development? Veiled and then revealed like the branching vs. nonbranching message that I was blind to in the art at top & bottom of my main article from 2006-2022.
🙈 no cubensis were reported in England until 1976, reports the field of entheogen scholarship while pushing their false pseudo-history, of the Amanita Primacy false doctrine.
Paul Stamets requires us to believe the preposterous ramification that there were no cubensis on cow patties until 1976.
Stamets is blind, ignorant, incoherent, and wrong, just as the entire field of entheogen scholarship and religion is wrong.
This declaration that the entire world hass been dead wrong on all important topics about Transcendent Knowledge is precisely the inherent nature of doing science, creating revolutionary paradigm explanatory models that replace the previous garbled heap of mess and confusion and vague suppositions, aka the old “theory”.
1996 Stamets falsely states there was no cubensis in England before 1976, and then Letcher 2007 and Hatsis 2016 assert the same irrational, incoherent proposition: that Cubensis grows on bovine dung – but only after 1976.
Hatsis is dead wrong according to Stamets: “the liberty cap is anachonistic for western religious history” Hatsis tells me, but the 1996 Stamets book Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An Identification Guide says Liberty Cap is all around the world.
Letcher Hatsis says no Liberty Caps were in England until 1976.
Stamets himself is blind, biased, and wrong, complicit in the Amanita Primacy false theory, when he claims that despite cubensis growing on bovine dung, there was no cubensis in England before 1976.
Bull 💩! That makes no sense, and is countered by the evidence.
Samorini is in cahoots, part of the problem too: he can’t even find 3 Amanita mushroom trees to fill the left column of his table, and he commits the error of false equivalency as if 50% of mushroom trees are Amanita, but actually, 99% of mushroom trees are Psilocybin.
Plaincourault is singled out for monofocus because it is the only Amanita mushroom tree.
Panofsky said Plaincourault is merely one instance of “hundreds”, but actually, it’s unique and is contrasted against the thousands of normal, psilocybin-based branching-message mushroom trees.
The Ruck-misled pop cult fixates on the lone, deviant, exception case (Plaincourault’s Amanita mushroom tree), so as to ignore the thousands of instances of the normal type of mushroom tree, which is psilocybin.
Browns’ book is around 2/3 Amanita imagery, feeding into the Amanita Primacy fallacy that steered entheogen scholarship into a stagnant, unproductive dead end.
I have made voice recordings summarizing developments in the industry – recordings not produced and uploaded yet – as episodes of Egodeath Mystery Show.
The podcasts describe the first phase of the nascent psychedelics industry which was a boom / hyperoptimism phase. And then the second phase was a bust / skepticism phase.
you will instantly understand the dispute between two camps given that the Psilocybin center approach charges $13,000 for a dose of psilocybin.
1000 times overpriced, overcharging.
as opposed to grassroots/ the people/ popular spirituality use and healing, and indigenous.
Outstanding presentation. (First half and final part are relevant.) Psilocybin and Amanita mushrooms in Christian history; psychedelics in world religion.
Proposed Rules and the November 2022 Public Comment Period
We want to hear from you! Below is a copy of the proposed rules for the November public comment period. We invite you to provide comments on the proposed rules during the public comment period that runs from November 1, 2022 to November 21, 2022 (closing at 5:00 P.M. Pacific Time).
I wish to comment on section 3070 (training practicum), but the 333-333 Proposed Rules Nov 2022 pdf skips that section number.
At bottom is the link to my Requirements for Guides page, based on the cubensis initiation image/scene from the Canterbury psalter illuminated manuscript. Row 1 of 3 shows practicum, facilitator, testing, cubensis administration session, and cubensis banquet administration:
This is public feedback about the proposed rules during the November 2022 public feedback period per webpage:
Add term “group administration session”. I thought it meant a classroom filling out paperwork together prior to the private preparation session.
Add term “administration session”.
Add term “training practicum”, where is document section 3070 about it? Skipped in Nov 2022 pdf proposed rules.
(37) “Lead educator” means a person affiliated with a training program who is responsible for tracking the progress of students throughout the program.
Comment:
“Students” = clients, or facilitators? Specify which. Per (74), facilitators.
The lead educator (facilitator) of initiation candidates (clients) is depicted in the Canterbury psalter image row 1 left, bearded; second figure from left, also shown in row 1 right, at the cubensis banquet table with funnel hat, encouraging the maiden.
(74) “Training program” means a program that has been approved to offer training to psilocybin facilitators as described in ORS 475A.380.
(75) “Training program applicant” means a program that has applied to offer training to psilocybin facilitators as described in ORS 475A.380.
Comment:
My main concern is to deliver my “Requirements for Guides” webpage, to connect it to document section 475A.380.
475A.380 Minimum standards of education and training for psilocybin service facilitators; rules
Comment:
This section is my main concern per my Requirements for Guides webpage.
475A.375 Powers and duties relating to psilocybin service facilitators. The Oregon Health Authority shall:
(1) Determine the qualifications, training, education and fitness of applicants for licenses to facilitate psilocybin services, giving particular consideration to:
(a) Facilitation skills that are affirming, non-judgmental, and non-directive;
Comment:
A facilitator must know the standard established suggestion that to restore stable self control, submit control; submit to trans-personal, greater, overpowering control, if the client experiences the highly predictable, classic psilocybin experience of being a helpless puppet externally controlled.
(b) Support skills for clients during an administration session, including specialized skills for:
(A) Client safety; and
Comment:
The main problem for client safety (with high dose) is the threat of loss of control, while transforming the mental model of control. The standard, known, established solution is to submit control and acknowledge multi-level control. This is the main “specialized skill” required for an adequate and authentic facilitator: the ability to move from control seizure back to stable control, by acknowledging limited personal control.
(B) Clients who may have a mental health condition;
(c) The environment in which psilocybin services should occur; and
(d) Social and cultural considerations.
Comment:
World religion concurs that the solution to control seizure panic attack spiritual emergency is to acknowledge limited personal control. Control stability thereby is restored.
(2) Formulate a code of professional conduct for psilocybin service facilitators, giving particular consideration to a code of ethics;
(3) Establish standards of practice and professional responsibility for individuals licensed by the authority to facilitate psilocybin services;
Comment:
It would be irresponsible, the ultimate classic hubris, and one would be a basically unequipped facilitator, if a facilitator is not able to instruct a client of the standard way to restore control stability in the peak state: submit control; acknowledge limited personal control.
Lacking that specialized skill would be to lack the most basic, fundamental, relevant authority.
This specific knowledge is the very essence of authority in the psilocybin domain of experiencing.
(4) Select licensing examinations for licenses to facilitate psilocybin services;
Comment:
A facilitator must be examined to see if they are able to restore a client’s control stability during a peak state spiritual emergency, solving control seizure.
(5) Provide for waivers of examinations as appropriate; and
(6) Appoint representatives to conduct or supervise examinations of applicants for licenses to facilitate psilocybin services. [2021 c.1 §40]
475A.380 Minimum standards of education and training for psilocybin service facilitators; rules.
(1) The Oregon Health Authority shall adopt by rule minimum standards of education and training requirements for psilocybin service facilitators.
Comment:
Those minimum standards must include the topic of loss of control and transformation of the mental model of personal control per the well-established principle of “submission” (ie. submit to a greater, uncontrollable higher source of control-thoughts).
The established solution to the classic psychedelic peak climactic problem of control instability and panic or spiritual emergency is commonly called “submit control”.
A facilitator absolutely must understand this dynamic and solution, or else they are fundamentally unqualified.
See my “Requirements for Guides” webpage explaining the Canterbury psalter initiation image.
(2) The authority shall approve courses for psilocybin service facilitators. To obtain approval of a course, the provider of a course must submit an outline of instruction to the office and the Department of Education. The outline must include the approved courses, total hours of instruction, hours of lectures in theory and the hours of instruction in application of practical skills. [2021 c.1 §41]
Comment:
Courses must cover panic attack, control seizure, spiritual emergency, and the standard solution of submitting, to align with the higher, ultimate source of control.
Peak classic ego death as described in religious mythology, explained in direct detail by the Egodeath theory, must be expected and thoroughly prepared for, in the course materials, given that control seizure is a peak-state classic effect of psilocybin.
475A.345 Preparation session.
(1) Before a client participates in an administration session, the client must attend a preparation session with a psilocybin service facilitator.
Comment:
I agree with preliminary educating and preparing the initiate or client. This section should mention or differentiate “practicum training” (especially since section 3070 about latter is not found).
Comment:/Objection:
What is covered in the client preparation session? Do Rules now intend to specify this, or out of scope?
The Canterbury psalter cubensis initiation image depicts youths being trained and tested specifically about how to restore control stability by affirming a non-branching world model, which is equivalent to the standard solution of “submit control”.
Do the Rules require course materials that instruct trainers? I believe so and that should be required.
Comment:/Objection:
Do the Rules require course materials that instruct clients? I believe not, but that should be required.
Comment:/Unclear:
Do the Rules require course materials that instruct trainers on how to instruct clients? I believe so, and that should be required.
Comment:/Objection:
Is a single training or preparation meeting with the client sufficient?
The rules should require that the client receive and read adequate peak-state training material, including about panic attack, spiritual emergency, and above all, restoring stable control by the standard classic advice of “submit”.
I would definitely advise and require initiates (clients) to read about control seizure, “the shadow”, the “submit control” solution, prior to the preparation session.
The Rules should cover this educating the client and not imply that a preparation session is sufficient.
The course materials are underspecified in document 475A, perhaps deliberately.
My recommendations and Requirements (webpage url) concern the content of the course training materials, which is apparently not specified in the Rules.
333-333-2015
Allowable Species
Comment:
I agree with selecting Cubensis in particular.
This avoids wood lover’s paralysis.
This agrees with the cubensis initiation scene in the Canterbury psalter illuminated manuscript.
I agree with using a natural extract, though I am open to synthetic psilocybin.
Maybe the Marsh Chapel Good Friday Experiment and Roland Griffiths’ 2008 experiment used synthetic psilocybin – if so, that is a curious disconnect with the interest in natural extracts.
333-333-2310
Packaging and Serving Size
Comment:
The banqueting scene in the cubensis initiation image in the Canterbury psalter suggests that the maiden’s dose is one bowl of cubensis and the youth’s dose is two bowls of cubensis, because his hands are touching two bowls.
333-333-4470
Practicum Site
(1) Any service center may function as a practicum site under OAR 333-333-3070.
Comment:
Where is section OAR 333-333-3070? Skipped by this pdf. Define “practicum site”.
(2) A service center that functions as practicum site must notify the Authority that practicum will be offered at their location and identify any training program affiliated with the practicum prior to practicum taking place at their location.
Comment:
Define “practicum training”; where is section 3070?
The lesser mysteries trained initiates prior to ingesting the sacred meal/sacrament. Row 1 left in the Canterbury psalter cubensis initiation image depicts preliminary education and testing of initiation candidates (regarding understanding non-branching of possibilities and thus understanding limited personal control, to endure psilocybin-induced control seizure & restoration of stability).
(3) A service center that functions as a practicum site must comply with all applicable requirements of these rules, including but not limited to OAR 333-333-5200.
(1) A facilitator must complete a preparation session with every client who will participate in an administration session at least twenty-four hours but no more than 90 days prior to the commencement of the client’s first administration session with the facilitator. If different facilitators will conduct a client’s preparation, administration sessions or integration session, the client must provide written consent as described in subsection (7)(g) of this rule. A client must have an opportunity to approve and meet any facilitator who will provide psilocybin services prior to receiving services from that facilitator.
Comment:
Rules should mention reading materials for clients to read before the preparation session, alerting to loss of control, or transformation of the experience of wielding control, when using high dose.
(2) Preparation sessions required under this rule must be conducted privately with each individual client to allow clients to share personal information.
(3) For every client who will participate in an administration session, a facilitator must receive a completed client information form as described in OAR 333-333-5050.
(4) For every client who will participate in an administration session, a facilitator must complete a transportation plan as described in OAR 333-333-5150 in coordination with the client. The transportation plan may not approve a client to operate a motor vehicle, bicycle, or other form of self-operated transportation immediately following the administration session.
Comment:
Agree with explicitly covering transportation.
(5) For every client who will participate in an administration session, a facilitator must coordinate with the client to complete a client safety plan as described in OAR 333-333-5080.
Comment:
Client safety plan in 5080 = client-specific risks, which is out of scope of my Requirements for Guides that’s part of the Egodeath theory.
(6) A facilitator must provide a client with the following during or prior to a preparation session and review each document with the client during a preparation session:
(a) Informed consent document as described in OAR 333-333-5040.
(b) Client Bill of Rights as described in OAR 333-333-4520.
Comment:
Regarding materials/documents given to client before or prior to prep session, do Rules specify content of such, such as informing client that high dose can cause control loss (/transformation) seizure?
That ultimate peak-state problem is solved by claiming limited personal control, ie “submitting control”.
(f) Applicable sections of the service center emergency plan required by OAR 845-025-4460.
Comment:
Document 4460 is not found at same webpage. Emergency plan a la Stan Grof spiritual emergency needs to cover ego death loss of control seizure panic attack & submitting limited personal control to restore (transformed) control stability.
(7) In addition to the documents required by sections (3)(4)(5) and (6) of this rule, a facilitator must obtain prior written consent from a client during a preparation session for the following activities and circumstances:
(a) Participation in a group administration session, including the opportunity to meet other clients and facilitators participating in the group session as described in OAR 333-333-5020.
(b) Use of supportive touch during an administration session, if any, as described in OAR 333- 333-5120(6).
(c) Participation in a training practicum, including information regarding training program students and instructors who will be present during the client’s administration session. The client must have an opportunity to meet any students or instructors who will be present during their administration session prior to the commencement of an administration session.
Comment:
Unclear; define “training practicum”.
Where is doc section 3070? pdf skips.
(g) The use of different facilitators to conduct a client’s preparation, administration sessions or integration session.
(h) Consuming secondary doses of psilocybin products after the administration session has begun, including the total amount of psilocybin analyte that a client agrees to consume, not to exceed 50 mg of psilocybin analyte.
Comment:
Agree on redosing technique to flatten and extend intensity curve. Determine the duration between redosing to flatten: maybe at t = 1:15:00.
(i) Participating in an administration session where licensed representatives of a service center will be present pursuant to OAR 333-333-5200(9).
(8) During a preparation session, facilitators must provide clients an opportunity to discuss internal and external factors that could impact a psilocybin experience including but not limited to the client’s intention and expectations. If the client will participate in an outdoor administration session, the facilitator must provide an opportunity to discuss the client’s specific concerns that may be relevant to participating in an outdoor administration session, including but not limited to allergies and sensitivity to sun exposure.
Comment:
Agree on avoiding sunburn.
(9) Preparation sessions may be completed in person or virtually using video conferencing technology.
Comment:
Agree online could work well.
(10) The requirements of this rule may be satisfied by conducting multiple preparation sessions.
Comment:
Agree multiple prep sessions often could be best.
(11) A facilitator must complete an initial preparation session with every client before conducting an administration session with that client for the first time. After completing the initial preparation session, a facilitator is not required to complete additional preparation sessions prior to conducting an administration session with that client for a period of 12 months.
(12) If a facilitator does not complete additional preparation sessions as allowed by section (11) of this rule, the facilitator must confirm that the information contained in the client’s previously completed client information form remains accurate prior to conducting additional administration sessions.
(13) A facilitator must discuss the process for verification of license status and process for making complaints to the Authority during a preparation session.
(1) A facilitator must work with every client who will participate in an administration session to draft a safety and support plan that identifies risks and challenges specific to the client’s circumstances and resources available to mitigate those risks and challenges, including the client’s existing support network and appropriate external resources.
Comment:
My “Requirements for Guides” defined in my webpage concern not client-specific risks, but universal standard risks of the peak psilocybin state.
333-333-5020
Group Preparation Sessions
Comment:
Canterbury psalter’s cubensis initiation image depicts group initiation sessions in the banquet scene and mushroom tree scene. Not only using cubensis in a 1-on-1 session with the facilitator.
Objection/comment:
Do the Rules cover group psilocybin sessions? If not, this is an inherent limitation of the “therapy” model, which is distinct from a group spiritual initiation model.
Update: I asked to add the term in Definitions, “group administration session”.
333-333-5240
Consumption Limits
(2) “secondary dose”
Comment:
Agree with strategy of “secondary dose”, to form a rectangular (flattened) intensity curve instead of a hill shape.
Redosing stretches the duration of the optimal intensity level.

Egodeath Theory: Qualifications for Guides
In drafting rules for Measure 109, please read these cubensis initiation rules derived from the main illuminated manuscript from the middle ages.
Psilocybin mushrooms are centrally present in Western religious history.
Regarding Western religious history, entheogen scholarship overemphasizes Amanita at the expense of inattention to psilocybin.
Within hellenistic mystery religion, the mixed-wine banqueting tradition, and Christian art of the middle ages inside the Church, there is plentiful evidence in religious mythology and psilocybin mushroom imagery in art.
The crown jewel of such imagery is the great Canterbury psalter’s cubensis ego death initiation panel, which I have interpreted in detail:
Discovered by author John Lash, interpreted and explained by Michael Hoffman (the Egodeath theory).
The image depicts control loss and transformation and shows the initiation training process for high dose re-stabilizing of personal control while directly engaging “the shadow” and submitting to the transcendent controller.
— Michael Hoffman, theorist of the cognitive and control aspects of ego death
The Egodeath theory
