good news I talked it through on Egodeath Mystery show while reading this page aloud on April 20, 2022 and have a clear definition spelling out about three components of my October 2002 definition of maximal versus moderate positions

the only thing lacking in that announcement was giving more examples of Mythology Interpretation then ahistoricity

and now I can summarize better than those postings that the way that the Moderate entheogen theory thinks about mythology is low physical object; spot the physical 🍄 object, Mushroom object = Jesus.

I did , back then, elaborate a sophisticated levels of different senses in which ahistoricity of Jesus figure

but now I have a cleaner simpler summary, both of the two different levels of saying “mythological Jesus”, and more broadly the two different levels of saying “mythology describes visionary plants”.

Interesting realization is that the field of entheogen scholarship has always been an add-on a solution to the field of esotericism and mythology and religious Mythology and mysticism.

The Field of entheogen scholarship has never been about isolated question of visionary plants or a dispute about just the quantity of visionary plants in historical periods; it has also different theories of mythology interpretation.

by my demanding a more sophisticated Interpretation of Mythology than the moderate position is able to articulate, I am in effect demanding that you meet these qualifications to be allowed into the Maximal position:

you have to include my 1988 or 1997 core theory of possibilism versus eternalism as the true referent of mythology, that describes not just visionary plants, but experiences from the plants, specifically, loose cognitive association transforming the mental model from A to B, with adequate specifics.

you cannot be a Maximal entheogen theorist without recognizing that the people before us interpreted Mythology as description of this particular mental transformation.

I not only disagree and say that it was the majority of people, but also, together with that, I provide a far more sophisticated explanation of the kind of analogy mythology that this majority held.

then also distinctly, we have the question about

the Moderate position holds that *some kind of* analogy Mythology was held by a minority of people, together with the sheer use of visionary plants by a minority of people. How many people used plants, and which interpretation of mythology did they hold:

Summary

the Minimalists say little plants use, and literalist.

the Moderates say minor plants use, and crude analogy.

the Maximal position says major plants use, and sophisticated analogy.

it is this combination of change of understanding which made it difficult to clearly articulate the exact difference between the Maximal versus Moderate entheogen theory of religion.

it is a matter of quantity and quantity

we have a dispute about both the quantity and quality:

Carl Ruck & the Moderate paradigm estimates too low of a quantity, of both plants and mythology understanding on the part of the people before us in the middle ages;

and Carl rock also brings too low of a quality, of his own understanding of mythology, and his reading of how the people before us, our ancestors who used the visionary plants:

how did they interpret mythology and analogy?

What was their quality of understanding- was it merely that Jesus = 🍄 object?

Or, per the Maximal, sophisticated understanding of mythology, which includes our understanding of how our forebears understood Mythology as describing the experiential shift to loose cognition, causing a particular transformation of the model of self and world regarding control and possibility branching.

entheogen scholarship has always been, from day one, about how people interpreted mythology in the past.

but the Moderate position has always had –

but the Moderate Entheogen Theory of Religion has always had a poor conception of Mythology, as describing the physical plants as objects,

whereas my Maximal entheogen theory of religion has always had a sophisticated understanding of how earlier people used mythology to describe the experiences that result from the visionary plants.

I did make this point in 2002, but I also had many too levels of ahistoricity that I discussed too many levels, you could say.

and I lacked any specifics on mythemes other than that, although I did say broadly mythological thinking, but unfortunately the only example I gave was ahistoricity,

and I talked about how the moderate position says Jesus is a personification of the physical Mushroom object

and I also correctly said that the Maximal Entheogen Theory Religion Instead held that Jesus life (as Max Freakout described to Kafei) is a description of the experiencing of the altered state from visionary plants.

The shortcomings of the announcement posting of 2002 and 2003 are that :

I provided too many different versions of the ahistoricity of founder figures in general

and that I did not yet possess my catalog of mytthemes other than the founder figure the life of Jesus

I only covered that indirectly , what would become my catalog of all key mythemes all the key mythemes by only providing an abstract broad Statement

but the 2003 shortcoming was that I was not able to articulate examples other than seven different versions of ahistoricity eg aHistorical Jesus, (In the case of Christianity).

see my announcement page regarding Maximal Entheogens Theory of Religion at this website

but also imagine clarifying it to make it tighter definition of maximal Versus Moderate Position

and also a good coverage of the minimal Position

one suprising realization is that John allegro as well as Terence McKenna are the examples of the Minimal entheogens Theory position or explanatory framework or theory Within the Field of entheogens Scholarship

and allegro makes it confusing: he gives the appearance that he is moderate entheogen theory advocate, by including in a self-contradictory way the Plaincourault fresco

and also a Development today April 20, 2022 is that I proved that Jan Irvin, Against Allegro, holds the moderate entheogen theory

The proof of that is that irvin re-instated

the planegirl Friscobecause

The proof of that is that irvin re-instated the planegirl Frisco

Jan Irvin re- added the Plaincourault fresco and maybe text about it restored back into a John Allegro’s book after Allegra had removed it

Allegro definitely removed the picture according to Thomas Hatsis (the great historian of psychedelics) but I don’t know if allegro also removed his text from his book, text mentioning the planecrawl fresco and whether Jan Irvin added that text back in again.

So a couple things are going on here is

for one thing, I’m at identifying why my 2003 articulation of maximal Versus Moderate theories was not clear enough for future-me to understand, and

it was challenging to specify exactly how it fell short of what it needs to be

it defined too many positions about the particular Mythology Interpretation of Historycity of Jesus when it really should have defined two or maybe three positions at most

and it did not provide any examples of mythology as description of the experiences from plants other than cataloging seven different versions of Jesus ahistoricity

So now I am positioned to write a clearer and more focused and announcement and give more broader examples of just two different ways of interpreting Mythology on the part of entheogen scholars, along with back-attributing how the people before us interpreted Mythology

the moderate school Carl Ruck says, and John allegro the minimal school says, that the people before us interpreted Mythology : that Jesus is the personification of the physical Amanita as an object.

in contrast, my maximal school says that the people before us interpreted myth as describing loose cog experiential transformation as referent of mythemes such as:

the life of Jesus that is, the death of Jesus as describing, and the judgment of him, & the last cup, and fastened to the cross, and buried in the rock, and reborn from the rock tomb, and miracles: handling snakes without dying; interpreting foreign languages; you shall do even greater miracles.

as the Maximal theorist, I reveal how the people before us interpreted Mythology and mythemes, as description of the experiences that are produced from visionary plants not the plants themselves as the ultimate referent.

What Carl rock had in the book the Apples of aPaulo amounts to a certain low kind of analogy understanding, as cyberdisciple has noted in his webpages, by Rucks applying a mixture of crude anthropology theories of mythology. and Carl rock brought knowledge of visionary plants in history.

then what I brought to the game what I brought to the table was a different overlap in 1999 I brought my core theory which is possible as in versus eternalism and autonomous Control Premise Versus dependent Control Premise and I did not bring analogy Mythology and History and I did bring sort of visionary plants experience but not the history of visionary plants what I brought was the understanding of the

Cognitive loosening effects that are produced by a visionary plants which Carl Ruck does not bring so even where we overlap I bring something very different than the moderate school

you cannot simply say that both of us covered visionary plants in the year 2001 when I read their disappointing Moderate entheogen paradigm book, Apples of Apollo.

it would be interesting to analyze how is Dr. Jerry Brown closer to my view of today or of 2001 , how is his book The Psychedelic Gospels more fulfilling to my expectations that I held in 2001 than the Carl Ruck school’s Moderate theory book, apples of Apollo.

like snake rock king wine Branching nonbranching vine fruit of the vine equals gnosis Transcendent and Knowledge this fool Rich catalog of methane mapping to transcend a knowledge this is how we maximal entheogens theorist understand mythology and also this is how we recognize the people before us who invented this mythology this catalog mythemes how they understood them, not in a crude physical childish way where mytheme X equals physical object Y, Like Moderate Carl rock and the Minimalist John Allegro.

sometimes in the past few days (or months, or decades) , I’ve put the emphasis on how much does the moderate position grasp esoteric analogy or a historicity or a complete mental model transformation

at other times, I have said that the distinction between maximal versus moderate is entirely simply a matter of the narrow Question to what extent christian middle ages knew about and used visionary plants.

then that view uses, or feeds into the idea of the Forgot Plot

the idea of the forgot plot is the premise that the maximal, moderate, and even the minimal views all agree about the endpoints being upper left and lower right

but they only disagree about the middle ages.

what did people –

which of Elaine Pagels’ clusters of ideas did people hold during christian middle ages ?

what percentage of people held the gnostic set of views versus the orthodox set of views?

and among those set of views is use of visionary plants, as well as ahistoricity, or apathy about Mr. Historical Jesus, and also, were they fluent in the language of Mythemese?

The Carl Ruck school says that in the middle ages, this set of gnostic views was half forgotten, yet largely present.

notice how here I am focusing on the question about visionary plants, but like my March 2003 posting I am also combining the view or our estimate of the view held by people in the middle ages

I am combining their view regarding visionary plants, together with the idea that they are inclined to understand analogy and metaphor and myth describing the Altered State.

like “the Gnostics” , according to Elaine Pagles’ first three books (jon writings; the Gnostic paul; the gnostic gospels) vs “the Orthodox”,

together with “exoteric versus esoteric” per Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy ‘s book The Jesus Mysteries.

aka “Psychics” vs “Pneumatics”;

aka per me 1986 “egoic vs transcendent”.

so the Forgot Plot that’s drawn by Carl Ruck school, which is the annoying frustrating book, the Apples of aPaulo in December 2000, authored by the anonymous committee consisting of Carl Ruck and Clark Heinrich and M. Hoffman.

The scope of that book is explicitly Greek and Christian.

The visionary plant advocated by that book I think is amanita, I guess.

(Minimal here would be Terence McKenna) noticed this position is not the tea total denial position except maybe it’s a T total denial that middle ages Christianity had visionary plants as defined here the minimal position the minimal entheogen theory religion asserts that religion did begin from visionary plants but was quickly forgotten so in this sense John allegro is a minimal entheogen theory advocate but probably Jan Irving his number one fan boy does not take that narrow view cyber disciple Points out in his analysis of John allegros relevance that allegro had much to particular and I add fleeting views it only the first generation ad used visionary plants and knew about them

but I don’t think Jan Irving takes that same position; I assume that Irving pictures that 🍄 use continuing into the middle ages

that the forgot plot starts in the upper left we’re along time ago everyone used visionary plants and then all three parties agree that today no religion uses visionary plants.

In distinguishing the Maximal Versus Moderate entheogen theories, the emphasis is not- well there are two different emphases, maybe;

we are emphasizing what the moderate people believe, or ,

we are emphasizing what the entheogens scholrs believe that the Christians of the middle ages believed.

and in 2003 I extended this to be general to all world religions: look at the way that the moderate entheogen theory advocate thinks about how other people thought during the middle part of their religious history.

if you think that knowledge of visionary plants was 50% forgotten by Christians in the Middle Ages, and that comprehension of metaphor and analogy was 50% forgotten by the middle ages, then you are a moderate entheogen theorist.

but how does that position relate to Amanita Madness? (extreme overemphasis on presumed use of Amanita, at the expense of perceiving Psilocybin).

Entheogen scholars who fully understand mythemes and visionary plants draw a high Forgot Plot in the middle ages which is to say they tend to assume or perceive that the knowledge was not forgotten during the middle ages but was very alive and well

the knowledge of visionary plants and the understanding of religious Mythology as metaphor describing the effects of the visionary plants to reveal our dependence of control on the creator who created our near-future control thoughts a million years ago.

A different definition of the moderate position is : those entheogen theorist/scholars who study esotericism (but not adequately), and who use psychoactive’s (but not adequately) and they aren’t good enough, effective enough psychoactives to force a mental transformation.

What Letcher Hatsis Got Right

I did not realize the extent to which the entire field of Entheogen Scholarship had become completely corrupted and taken over entirely by the secret Amanita paradigm

I did not realize that when Carl Ruck quoted me saying “mixed wine is mushroom wine” that he interpreted the word ‘Mushroom’ differently than me.

I meant Psilocybin, but Ruck meant 🍄.

which I consider to be fundamentally different!

🤯

there is no way that I can imagine Amanita producing the clean loose cognitive effect which psilocybin is the benchmark standard reference for producing

I consider Amanita as a dirty, questionable, unknown, inconsistent, non-targeted effect.

and if we build our thinking around amanita, then our thinking is dirty, non-specific, non-targeted, confused, and unfocused, and inadequately loosened, in adequately, insufficiently inspired

I had no idea that when people were reading my pull quote in Carl Ruck’s book where I wrote “mixed wine is mushroom wine”, I had no idea that people were reading my Maximal statement as if I had written “mixed wine is amanita wine”.

What I meant was, the Maximal *Psilocybin* theory of mixed wine – but what people mistakenly read was, the Maximal *Amanita* theory of mixed wine!

totally different!

completely different!

What Letcher Hatsis Got Wrong

The overreaction of letcher hatsus is to solve the problem by completely and totally rejecting all versions of mushroom hypothesis in Christian history.

instead of them rightly deleting and replacing the bad old theory by a good new theory of the role of mushrooms and Christian history, what they did instead- they’re trying to replace the bad old theory by no theory, which is to say, by a firm assertion that there were no mushrooms whatsoever

by which in their confused thinking, = 🍄

then when they assert “no psilocybin in Christian history”, they argue that on a *completely different* basis

that is a completely different subject in their pop minds

where

the popular mind is not driven by thinking and explicit assertions, but rather, by loose emotional connotations and word association, in a hypnotic-like state, Pop Trance.

Letcher Hatsis , on a rough first order of approximation, makes some five assertions:

1) assertion number one :

the [Moderate entheogen theory] secret Amanita paradigm has completely corrupted and taken over the field of entheogen scholarship.

at a level 1 approximation, he is correct.

2) assertion number two:

there is no amanita[=”mushrooms”] in Christian history.

his assertion is false, but to a large extent a matter of degree, he is right.

there is much less Amanita in Christian history than the predominant paradigm asserts and assumes and presumes.

3) his third assertion is :

there is no Psilocybin in England or Europe or Mediterranean Antiquity until 1975 , and so there simply is no conversation about Psilocybin in christian and History. ug ug ug word salad emotional notion pop connotation “anachronism”. 😑

just like Wasson says that in the topic of mycology, there is no room for discussing the planecorral fresco; it has no place in discussion Within the field of mycology, because plaincruel fresco does not depict mushrooms.

similarly, Letcher Hatsis says that the topic of psilocybin has no place in a discussion of Christian history, because that is “anachronistic”.

for example, Psilocybin didn’t even exist in England until, due to false popular history, it was brought there in 1975.

We are not to read this as a straightahead assertion of sober factual statement, but rather, he is channeling the emotional gut connotation pop mental association notions, and we see it written in ink here in his book, but it is – do not mistake this as a factual type straightahead assertion; read it as channeling the pop, confused “mind”.

“Magic Mushrooms” & slop pop associations 🍄

We need to explicitly relate and explain: how do we jump from red and white popular Amanita, which we call “magic Mushrooms”, over to the separate, *very different* species and chemical, Psilocybin?

why is it that everyone puts forward the *picture* images of amanita, but zero people ingest Amanita, and 100% of people ingest Psilocybin instead?

Explain that, and then we will use that to explain why amanita in Christian art does *not* mean literally ingesting Amanita, but it means ingesting Psilocybin instead, due to the innate poor efficiency of amanita, combined with its high visual appeal.

Idea development technology technique

technique for making my ideas thinking visible making thought visible at high-speed efficiently:

I now need to turn off the beep function of voice dictation, because I am recording Egodeath Mystery show episode right now and the two mics are picking up the beeping … success; I just had to turn down the volume while it’s in the voice recording dictation voice dictation mode. voice dictation beeping is still on but super super faint.

7:46 AM day after Easter April 18, 2022

Hatsis argues that the church authorities are proved to not censor out visionary plants, because they permitted printing the words ‘Mandrake’; scopolamine plants, and other visionary plants.

Hatsis argues that Christians did not use mushrooms*, and we know that, because the word ‘Mushrooms’ does not appear in Christian writings.

*warning: Whenever Hatsis says the word ‘mushrooms’ in the context of Christian history, he always means and assumes exclusively Amanita.

He has explicitly said as much to me (personal correspondence) where he said (in an inarticulate way) psilocybin is “anachronism”, thus is of zero relevance to the argument.

I think his email is in my idea development page 13 or maybe 12 for the exact quote; search this site for ‘anachronistic’.

Hatsis says we know that the church authorities did not censor out mentions of visionary plants, because they permitted writing about some specific visionary plants.

My retort is, I am insulting plants dismissively, other than psilocybin.

I spit on cannabis [theory] and 🍄 & scopalamine plants; hard pass, thank you very much.

I insult and condemn Mandrake as being merely a deliriant hallucinogen mind scrambling; not sufficiently targeting loose cognitive association.

I put down wine alcohol.

I put down Daphne and whatever the hell weird random plants are mentioned in order to dilute our focus on the one real plant that actually matters: the 250 species of Psilocybin mushrooms.

Here’s an interesting idea:

You know my phrase the “anything but drugs” explanation and you know my phrase the “anything but mushrooms” explanation.

Well here’s a new phrase for you, 8:18 AM April 18, 2022 new phrase, which is always cause for celebration.

I am all about inventing phrases.

That is how I made my big breakthrough of January 1988, it was through concept labels, a certain technology for communication cybernetics communication about control, by inventing turns of phrase and labeling them with an acronym for speed fast efficient usage.

New phrase announcement:

Anything But Psilocybin [ABP]

new concept label:

the Anything But Psilocybin theory

the Anything But Psilocybin explanation

so therefore we know the reason why the word ‘mushroom’ doesn’t appear in Christendom’s texts, it’s not because of censorship like a McKenna type of persecution of the mushroom use, where the big bad church totally stomped out all entheogen explicit mentions in texts and all usage of Psilocybin as the Eucharist.

Egodeath Mystery Show Episode 119a near 2:30:00 (= end) + into the start of Episode 119b – the Church’s/ the Salvation Salesmen’s agenda:

keep mushrooms, (especially psilocybin mushrooms) non-explicit in texts, re: the Eucharist.

Hatsis says therefore the real reason we have ‘Eucharist’ but not ‘mushrooms’ in texts of Christendom is that people did not use mushrooms* at all.

*by which he of course stupidly thinks Amanita, being oblivious to the real, relevant type, which is Psilocybin instead.

People in Christendom are allowed to discuss only the ineffective plants; they are allowed to discuss wine, and cannabis, and scopolamine, and even ineffective Amanita.

but people in texts are not permitted by the Establishment (Salvation Salesmen & Meditation Hucksters) to explicitly discuss/mention Psilocybin mushrooms, because that, specifically, is the real Eucharist; Psilocybin mushrooms (250 species) is the one type of visionary plant which is actually effective, so that is why it is the one, specific type of visionary plants that explicit mentions of is mostly missing from the texts of Christendom.

The Salvation Salesmen are not competing against scopolamine (so those texts were allowed); they are competing consciously and strategically against the real Eucharist, which is a Psilocybin Mushrooms (so those text were not allowed this is why we have selective explicit visionary plant words in the Christendom’s Texts and

where we would expect to see mushrooms explicitly mentioned in the text what we have in place of that is the word Eucharist instead and so what we have is in text we have the word Eucharist and in art we have branching message mushroom trees which combined distinctive features of four types of psychoactive Mushrooms defined by Eadwine in the Great Canterbury Psalter:

Token presence of amanita, 🍄 is barely represented in gcp Psalter, because everyone who knows mushrooms knows that I am an idiot has the lowest effectiveness.

Above, voice dictation translated the word ‘Amanita’ to the word “I am an idiot”.

Amanita, liberty cap, Panaeolus , and Cubensis: these are the four plants types which God created.

That’s why Wassen and the field of the bunk field of the cover-up operation field of “ethno-mycology” serves the purpose of steering conversation away from the real, effective Eucharist, which is psilocybin mushrooms.

The big bad church actually tried to steer people away from explicitly discussing mushrooms in texts including Amanita, but it was psilocybin in particular that they had to steer people away from

That’s why we have substitute entheogen fake Scholarship locking us in orbit around amanita forever, to prevent us from getting all the way to the goal, which is psilocybin mushrooms, the true Eucharist, which is effective at transforming the mind, pneumatic spiritual redemption.

Redemption is free, just costing possibility-branching thinking.

2:04:00 Egodeath Mystery Show episode 119a : more commentary about how our Gordon Wasson revised Panofsky’s cover story to change it from Italian Pines which fails for three reasons that I identified fails

so Wasson picked a more vague and region-appropriate “Palestine tree type of a vague mythical form” and says that that is what the England Mushroom tree painters were struggling to depict in a stylized way in all of their mushroom trees

it is quite a major deviation from Panofsky’s cover story version 1, which is obviously post-hoc data plucking of obviously picking Italian Umbrella Pines aka Stone pine, purely for the reason that it was the most mushroom-looking shape that he could find.

But Wasson listened to my podcast episodes and realized what a flimsy, incoherent, and unconvincing cover story that is.

So Wasson replaced it by version 2 cover story that was strategically vague like Wason does, and strategically cocky and pompous posturing, with great officiousness and heavy, heavy Authoritarian writing style, pompous and filled with self-assured attitude, as a con-artist bluff, revising Panofskys Story,

in wasson’s later quotation which is in Samorini one of his two articles, quotes wasson telling his later version 2 cover story, which contradicts and deviates from Panofsky’s Brinkman cover-up story.

Wasson change the story from “southern Italy Italian pines” to vague “Palestinian mythical tree type” to address my three objections that

I laughed at Wason’s face at the ludicrous preposterous cover story of southern Italy Italian pines being the target of all mushroom trees – an obvious post-hoc fabricated cover story flimsy cover story.

So Wasson solved that problem by putting forth a more vague and region-appropriate “Palestinian garden of Eden tree type”

and tells us with extremely pompous total self assurance and very authoritarian way of writing

wasson tells us the revised cover story that as every idiot art student knows,

as every idiot art student knows

garden of Eden Trees follow a well-known well established tradition (we authorities know and so you amateurs need to butt out and stop asking questions, because we already have this all under control and handled).

as every C- art student perfectly well knows, but you mycollegests are idiots you mycologists mycology professionals are idiots and ignorant and uninformed.

I point out in this episode of Egodeath Mystery Show how Wason is always falling over himself to gravely insult and deeply insult the mycologists and tries to stop them from any coverage of “ethno-mycology”

he’s always calling mycollegests ignorant idiots who don’t even know what every freshman art student knows perfectly well, that every mushroom tree of course is meant to represent specifically the garden of Eden trees in Palestine.

and the reason you don’t agree with me is that you as a professional narrow-minded mycologist are so ignorant, that you don’t even know what every single freshman C- student of art history Knows that obviously, every mushroom tree is intended to represent the garden of Eden tree, which is of a well-known Palestinian tree type.

A hazy, mythical, highly variable non-specific, except that I am dubbing it by a specific totally vague name, “Palestinian tree type” and every single halfwit 50-IQ art student knows this perfectly well, so shut up and mind your own narrowed professional mycology business, and stop asking questions, and stop presuming to step into my turf , that I have invented, called “ethno-mycology”.

– the Father of Ethno-Mycology, aka stop asking questions about this plane corralled, it is none of your business, and you mycologists are not allowed to discuss Plaincourault in your Narrow field which I have narrowed, called Nero professional mycology;

be a professional and stop discussing Plaincourault within the field of mycology: this is unprofessional and inappropriate, so you need to stop asking questions about the mushroom tree in plaincrawled.

119a episode 2:06:00+

Poet Robert Graves as the Real “Father of Ethno-Mycology”; Wasson Failed to Credit Graves’ Discoveries

Egodeath Mystery Show episode 119a near 2:15:00

The banker faction the salvation Salesmen faction

the poets faction – Graves 1957

Research and review: what was the specific reason that Robert Graves was mad at Wasson for failing to give him credit?

the artists faction Who drew the Branching Message Mushroom Trees, indicating advanced Psilocybin expertise technique and comprehension full complete up to spiritual transformation from Possibility Branching mental Model to eternal pre-existing control thoughts non-branching model, of changing from {the king steering in the tree}, to {the snake frozen in rock}.

the mycologists faction Rolfe Ramsbottom Brightman

The art historian faction is the enemy of the artists faction, because the art historians are in cahoots with the Salvation Salesmen, Trying to cover up what the artists have revealed, and to try to spin the too-revealing phrase “Mushroom trees”.

spin doctors art historians are cover-up spin doctors afainst the message of the artists

The monks who drew the mushroom trees are allied with the poets and the mycology mycologists and the artists all asserting Psilocybin Eucharist for transformation redemption per the group of ideas which Elaine Pagles identified in her three books and which system was popularized by Timothy freak and Peter Gandy in their book the Jesus Mysteries who explain the two sets of views

in this episode, I said that the story begins in 1906 , the contention about Plaincourault and Mushrooms in Christianity

and now I say psilocybin in Christianity specifically

but really Elaine Pagles traces this old battle from the beginning of Christianity between exoteric versus esoteric

I am advocating generic typical definitive paradigmatic set of views that I am explicitly defining, including specifically Psilocybin mushrooms.

I am insulting and criticizing Amanita as being the official entheogens of the lying, exoteric, un-transformed non-transformed, lower, childish Christians entheogen is merely Amanita, which fails to transform.

and that’s why the establishment version of entheogen scholarship is a cover-up operation trying to prevent coverage of psilocybin and trying to sidetrack the investigation into ineffective Amanita Instead, as a fallback last-ditch effort to prevent conversation from reaching the target goal, of revealing that the Eucharist for esoteric high effective redemption, the effective redemptive Eucharist of Christ is psilocybin.

whereas in contrast, the lower, ineffective, non-transformative, pseudo-, children’s visionary plant entheogen is Amanita, which is (merely) Mr. Historical/Magic Jesus.

Jesus Salvation equals Amanita equals egoic possibility Branching thinking orthodox is Elaine Pagles term

‘exoteric’ is Timothy freak and Peter Gandys term and

the term of the ancient gnostics was ‘the Psychics’ to insult the lower type of Christians and explain them in terms of egoic possibility-branching delusion-premised moral control agency operating in a possibility-Branching world; king steering in a tree , goes to heaven or hell based on lower moral presupposition about the nature of good and evil.

whereas “eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” means gnosis/ esoteric/ the Pneumatics; Psilocybin.

Jesus vs. Christ = Amanita vs. Psilocybin = Exoteric vs. Esoteric = Orthodox vs. Gnostic = Salvation vs. Redemption[confirm per John Lash bk]

two competing Eucharist versions:

Jesus salvation exoteric orthodox Psychics equals Amanita.

Christ redemption esoteric gnostic Pneumatics equals Psilocybin.

hardcore absolute rejection of Amanita and full commitment to Psilocybin, in the topic of Christian history, would be 80-100% accurate and highly effective; a winning, cant-lose strategy. It’s much more true than false.

Putting all investment in an extremist Psilocybin theory is good effective strategy, to be immune to the parasitical liabilities that are the heavy strings attached to trying to affirm Amanita.

Given the current deadlock context trap.

Don’t theorize in a Platonic vacuum; messy real world girding affects emphasis positioning –

if you don’t push aggressively your own positioning & your own marketing and product placement and media coverage, the enemy will do it for you.

the enemy here is the default Amanita-drunken, “Maximal Amanita theory” entheogen scholarship Field that Letcher and Hatsis are battling against.

The Default Presupposition Matrix tries to distort and re-define my theory and clamp onto it and aggressive

not just a meaning halo narrow ring clamped around each part, but an entire backdrop context that it tries to attach to my theory to turn my theory into something that’s the opposite of what it is.

This question seems redundant, but the degree is changing.

I am asking even more than February 2021

maybe I have been underestimating the extent to which this field has led by Carl Ruck and the evil M. Hoffman together with Clark Heinrich , author of the book strange fruit, this field especially the Christian aspect christian history – Strange entheogen scholarship

I think even as much critique as I have done, I’m starting to wake up and wonder: have Andy Letcher and Thomas Hatsis been noticing something that I was not appreciating the extent to which –

have Andy Letcher and Thomas Hatsis woken me up to the extreme extent to which the field has been thoroughly corrupted and entirely totally been taken over by the Secret Amanita hypothesis???

How did I not notice the extreme extent of this problem when I picked up in the bookstore Carl Ruck’s book Sacred Mushrooms of the Goddess: Secrets of Eleusis with a pair of amanita drawing proudly on the lower left by the name Carl A. P. Ruck, where “A. P.” stands for Amanita proselyte –

State of the field in 2006:

State of the field 30 years earlier in 1976:

the Result of 30 years of coral rock miss leading the field is that we switch from putting a little amanita on the left to now we put the little amanita on the right

that is the progress that we have made in this imitation , children’s version of the field and entheogen scholarship, in 30 years of his mis- leadership leading us around and around in circles orbiting trapped forever in orbit around planet Amanita where

we mark the years by adding another book on to the pile, driving home yet again the story, the children’s story of secret Amanita

it’s the same book published every year again rolling out more and more demonstrations to lock us in orbit forever around planet Amanita

as I discussed in the Egodeath Mystery Show 5-hour show Easter 2022 last night, it is slowly dawning on me that I didn’t realize how the word Mushrooms and the word Entheogens regarding Christian history has been in the popular mind including the coral rock school a little bit of a sinister twist to Clark Heinrich is good book strange fruit 1994 followed by the deeply disappointing Book written by committee written by Carl rock mixed with a Clark Heinrich mixed with Mark Hoffman Apples of aPaulo December 2000 which was so disappointing that it caused me to create and define the maximal Entheogens Theory of Religion because

I noticed like just like exactly the same as the field of exoteric esotericism we have a field that claims to be positively contributing but which in fact leaves us at the starting line we don’t actually get the airplane off the ground

it is the impression of esotericism without any actual esotericism

it is faux entheogen scholarship

we have pseudo-field of entheogen scholarship

we have a mock imitation discussion of mushrooms and entheogens

just like I have eventually come to realize that fake esotericism books like secret teachings of all ages by Manley Hall 1924 does not actually deliver esotericism but it only delivers the surface impression of esotericism similarly what passes for intelligence scholarship doesn’t actually deliver regarding Christian history in place of substance in place of mental transformation and the loose cognitive state in place of delivering my phrase which I used six years before Valtr Hannah Graff Walther holograph well Walther Hannah Graff Walter Hannah Graff I think voice dictation got his name correct sometimes Walther Hannah Graff

consider my phrase which I used six years before he did and I used it in a scathing way in my yahoo group ego death posting the posting titled esoteric titled entheogenic esotericism and I scathingly condemned pretend week diluted just like his phrase, the worst phrase invented by any scholar ever, “non-drug entheogens”.

non-entheogenic entheogen scholarship

Is what Carl rock brings us and this is the irony of the position which I dubbed ironically in October 2002 “the moderate entheogen position” And I moved forward with what amounts to a two-tier binary system:

either you are “maximal” like me and you answer simply yes Christianity comes from Mushrooms ( read psilocybin) on an ongoing basis,

or else you take the other position which either denies drugs in religion the “minimal” position

or equivalently – that’s the important word is the word ‘equivalently’ – the “moderate” position, which pretends to give us Entheogens, but instead does a bait and switch, and only gives us amanita instead; nothing but mere amanita, which is a children’s make-believe, substitute entheogen.

just like Ken Wilber concept “the Atman project” “substitute” pseudo entheogen, we have substitute pseudo-field and imitation field of entheogen scholarship, represented by amanita emoji 🍄

The Atman project: pursuing transcendence by means (🍄) which prevent it

we have exact equivalent between exoteric esotericism and Hannahgraf’s “non-drug entheogen’s “

for all practical purposes which Carl Ruck delivers together with the evil M. Hoffman and Clark Heinrich – instead of strange fruit, we have strange entheogen scholarship.

Ruck school never delivers the goods, but only halts and brings us to a halt at children’s level: ineffectual alcohol wine and ineffective Amanita and deliriant scopolamine , the purpose being to withhold the real deal, to withhold the good stuff, and to pretend as if a head shop display of amanita literally means ingesting that,

when people talk about so called magic mushrooms when the reality is that absolutely no one ingests Amanita

and Amanita in the head shops functions 100% purely as an artistic representation of psilocybin and

our great grandfather’s are exactly the same

the reason they depict Amanita is because as the forward of the book by Poulter Stamets says Andrew Weil writes in the foreground of Paul Stamets book and identify identification guide Psilocybin Mushrooms of the world he writes that psilocybin is a “dull” looking mushroom type

so nature gives us two very different mushrooms: Amanita which is good looking, and

everyone who understands Mushrooms knows that amanita has low effectiveness

the other kind of magic mushrooms (as everybody with Mushroom Knowledge Knows) inherent in the Mushrooms themselves the “dull looking” mushrooms are the good kind to ingest and

our great grandfather who drew branching-message mushroom trees knew this perfectly well, because he had real knowledge of mushrooms, and so he knew the amanita is pretty for art, but poor for ingesting.

this is inherent in the mushroom itself; this is not ESP.

we do not need ESP; we need to know that the artist had knowledge of mushrooms

like any hi school students in the head shop knows intuitively and perfectly well that amanita is good for visual representation of magic mushrooms, but poor for ingesting.

The cautionary myth tale, the Amanita eaters: Odysseus and his men forgetting their mission

easter episode of Egodeath Mystery Show part A 42:00 , 52:00 describes the story of Odysseus and the Lotus eaters (the amanita eaters) of how we’ve been trapped in orbit forever around planet Amanita and

Letcher and Hatsis have tried to warn us about and I failed to appreciate the extent to which the field has been completely taken over by 🍄

I did not realize how the field had been completely taken over by amanita even though I’ve been writing harshly Against Amanita

Letcher and Hatsis Clearly perceived The degree of that take over

and I was too grounded and I was too attuned to clear thinking; I was not able to appreciate how warped and corrupted that the popular thinking is , how completely dominated it is by amanita

I did not appreciate, but now I can understand the insanity of Andy Letcher and Thomas Hatsis , who say this whole entrapment in planet Amanita orbiting forever and

their solution is the burn it all down scorched earth –

We had to destroy the field of mushroom Scholarship Christian History in order to save it from the Amanita madness that has steered it into a dead-end ditch, thanks to the coral rock paradigm of the Moderate Entheogens Theory, which amounts to exoteric esotericism

the Atman project: pursuing entheogen scholarship in a way (🍄) which prevents it.

thus we have the irony of a binary two-part Egodeath Theory

there are two positions regarding entheogens: the maximal position versus the minimal position ( which also includes the moderate position)

but the catch is that the moderate position is merely children’s version of mock lesser Mysteries

we have the children’s class in Visionary plants

see the cover of the book a golden guide hallucinogenic plants by Richard Evans Schultes.

we have been trapped in a children’s book version of the entheogen field 🍄

the Witches team, Letcher Hatsis, they are half awakened to the reality, and they are trying to wake other people up to break out of their imprisonment in the coral rock Amanita trap, where Ruck has conflated the word ‘Entheogens’ with the word ‘Mushrooms’ with Amanita.

I cannot believe it, I am amazed to realize:

why didn’t it register when I rejected Rucks book and I did not buy his book which pull-quotes me –

where I said that “mixed wine is mushroom wine”, I did not realize that my words were being abused/ misinterpreted to assert, per the front cover picture children’s picture kiddie picture Amanita, that Carl Ruck was interpreting my words, as if I had said “mixed wine is Amanita”! 😠👎

I never ever intended to assert that “mixed wine is amanita wine”, and I was at fault by carelessly using the vague word ‘mushrooms’ (Comparable to how I naïvely used the word ‘Determinism’ in 2006 instead of the unambiguous word ‘eternalism’) because

back then in 2006, I did not make an effort to distinguish between mushrooms versus Amanita versus Psilocybin.

i in fact held a too weak distinction between them, I only weakly held my distinction between Amanita vs Psilocybin.

and so my words got misinterpreted and misrepresented as if I had asserted that the ancient banqueting tradition “rounds of mixed wine” used amanita – which is certainly not something I would have ever asserted! 😠

Robert Graves was getting too close to the truth when he discovered Mushrooms in Greek myth in 1957, so Wasson did not credit graves for his discoveries, and tried to steer a new field: “ethno-mycology”, to prevent comprehension of Christian Psilocybin

I work out and talk through this reconstruction of the history of this field in the Easter episode of yesterday Egodeath Mystery Show part A ~1:05:00 April 7 2022 episode 119a.

Canterbury = 1200

Bodlien manuscript = 1300

1. Balancing on Right Leg

2. Cut Right Major Branch Trunk of Mushroom Tree

3. Snake with Legs at Mushroom Tree

Lizard or Salamander = Snake with Branching Legs

to do: write several 70-page academic studies, one for each leg of the salamander, and the morphology of each frond and mushroom of the mushroom tree, and include the man’s right foot touching the cut trunk right of the tree.

4. Pink Key Tree & Key Salamander Snake

1:28 pm Easter: I just noticed that the right paw is touching the mushroom tree and that the right foot is touching the right cut trunk of the mushroom tree. remember, in this genre, touching is significant, meaningful.

This is a mobile-edited weblog page, parallel with the computer-edited existing page. A sync bug causes data loss, so “don’t cross the streams”; don’t cross-edit between devices, unless i figure out how to force sync.

This page is to note time & date when I interpret art and revise theory connections a la Conceptual Revolutions book by Paul Thagard.

4:00 am April 13, 2022 I perceived huge aspect of Salamander tree: cut right trunk branch.

during recording the Egodeath Mystery Show maybe yesterday, I announced in voice recording the minute time and date of realizing and looking at the image:

while recording the show, I looked at the salamander image and realized like a day earlier that the path the right paw is touching the cap of the mushroom tree, and especially, now, also noticed that the tail is touching the trunk of the mushroom tree, which I had failed to notice before.

tail: it is a very artificial and subtle touching that the artist is indicating to signal a meaning to us.

A correction, not regarding my discoveries, but of my statements about who published what when:

I just realized yesterday I had been saying Samorini treated the salamander and then Chris Bennett, and that’s backwards.

Samorini’s 1998 article about mushroom trees says Bennett in a 1995 essay published the salamander msh tree image

but I do have a question: did Bennett know that it is green and blue, not red and white? or did Bennett only have a black-and-white picture? and same with Samorini

Samorini asserts, he uses this as an example of an Amanita Mushroom tree – but does he realize that this is green and blue , that he is proposing that a green and blue mushroom be placed in the amanita column ??

if he has now presumably seen the color version of the image does Sam Marini still claim that this mushroom tree is a Amanita, given that it is blue and green?

Samorini: “It’s a match! The above image is positively identified as an instance of an Amanita mushroom tree!”

Who can blame Hatsis for saying “This is ridiculous! This Amanita Madness is making the field of entheogen scholarship look like a mockery.”

my interpretation is more mature and sophisticated and subtle and with more detail

the mushroom artists make a distinction between – as we see in Canterbury, officially and formally depicted which formally established on page 1 of Canterbury, the artist says “let us begin by defining 4 distinct shapes or types of psychoactive Mushrooms:

God created 4 plants: liberty caps, Cubensis , panaeolus , and Amanita and then throughout the 75 mushroom plants of the great Canterbury Psalter, Eadwine combines these distinctive features

and he also combines those with a fifth category, which is the vine leaf tree, which is itself a combination of grapevine leaf and ivy Vineleaf.

Using this more sophisticated and nuanced approach that’s less crude, we ask:

Which features of this roasting salamander mushroom tree match Amanita?

which features match liberty cap?

which features match panaeolus?

which features match Cubensis?

which features match grape vine leaf or ivy vine leaf?

Easter, April 17, 2022

I am realizing that instead of writing and then noting Decoding connections during writing lately my date timestamps of particular Decoding realizations occur while monologue voiceover recording the Egodeath Mystery Show episodes. this can be difficult to locate on demand the timestamp and I want to log that timestamp in text but the advantage the good thing is you hear me actually working out and discovering the decoding in real time

but this voice dictation weblog format created on mobile device is it kind of a compromise in between heavyweight typing at the computer vs lightweight realtime voice recording.

for example I believe last night April 15, 2022 during recording the episode is when I talked through the salamander and came to realize I interpreted the right paw touching the (non branching) cap – And also discovered during the show , that the tail is touching the trunk of the mushroom tree.

Also another example I did a very deep discussion of the Mushroom banqueting table in Canterbury, that would really be hard to type well I would have to type fewer words on the computer but I can record a voice recording this very very detailed working out and

talking through the banquet scene with the interpreting deep interpretation of each hand on the table, each hand that’s touching a bowl, who owns each bowl, and re-dosing delayed second dose

working out my argument of why the left bowl was the first dose of Cubensis and

why the artist , using our ESP , we can detect and receive the message from the artist

the artist is indicating , if we read the signs that the artist has left, to indicate that the right hand bowl of Cubensis was just finished probly two hours after the first bowl

through speaking while voice recording, I argued that we can detect that this is not the first trip of the youth, but that the artist does depict & signal indicate that this is the first trip of the maiden.

I believe that talking through with the voice of talking through the art image with the voice is more effective for deep ESP interpretation to read the indicators that the artist has left cues and indications that we are better talking through it as if there’s an image and there’s you and there’s me and I’m talking through the image with my voice teaching you of how to read the image as if I am teaching you a language a foreign language I did a massive amount of that explanation by type

Typing at the computer but it is striking the things that I noticed and I was always complaining of why was I so blind why was I so blind that I did not see this totally obvious aspect because I was too busy being stupid with the overhead the stupefying overhead of the typing burden was making me stupid but I feel like I’m smarter when I’m talking it through with my voice when there is no overhead and I can talk as quickly as I need to with zero burden and it’s all caught on voice recording and then I can slow down a little bit and do voice dictation while still recording which I have done in about two or three times now a very powerful technique

this is a new discovery I have idea development technique that combines writing and fast speaking and audio and slower speaking and reading all at the same time

it is true that I am able to work that out by typing at the computer but it is a different mode of idea development to talk that through during voice recording an episode of the Egodeath Mystery Show. and to the extent that that mode of idea development is effective this means that I will inevitably make discoveries while in the midst of recording my monologue and then I see the date and time stamp to log my breakthrough connection Interpretation I mean that in the sense of the book conceptual revolutions by Paul Thagard that at this time a revision to the theory was made f

or example in my criteria proof evidence article for Brown I made a chapter in November 2020 interpreting the Roasting Salamander Image and I made a mistake that I did not notice that the salamander is touching the mushroom tree and I merely analyzed the image as if the salamander were placed in parallel that’s what I wrote was parallel and that’s not quite right / adequate. yes the shape of the snake with legs Branching is contrast against Branching Mushroom tree but also the mind after enlightenment is shown as the snake with legs is physically connected or the picture of it is connected touching the important word here is touching the snake with legs is touching the non-brand Nonbranching parts of the mushroom tree which can indicate comprehension and affirmation

unlike the incomplete Salamander at the fire which is shown definitely not touching and not comprehending and not affirming any aspect of the Mushroom tree

yes I am able to work out these things but through typing but I failed to notice it why did I failed to notice that touching in November 2020 when I was typing at the computer on a broken keyboard from too much typing and I am accusing the overhead of typing is reducing my perspicuity I propose that I have better acuity and perspicuity when I am talking in a voice recording or maybe voice

dictation then when I have the cognitive stupefying cognitive overhead of having to type on a keyboard.

I am really arguing that my intelligence is the highest with this voice dictation format and in fact

what I have done almost by accident is interesting that during the recording a voice recording during an episode of the Egodeath Mystery Show,

two or three times now I have had occasion to do voice dictation to create and write a written text weblog page while literally recording the voice recording at the same time

this has the advantage of being able to see /read your thoughts in the form of text, without the overhead of typing, and with the ease of speaking, and then I capture it both as a voice recording and as voice transcription To text.

this is very powerful! it combines speaking and text creation, without any overhead (except for making corrections) without any overhead of typing or hand writing.

I do note such timestamps the time and date during recording with my voice, but it would be nice – I should use my webpage that is Intended for exactly this kind of logging

it’s a weblog page I created on computer

I have a little bit of an issue because there’s a synchronization bug losing data; if I edit a web blog post on the computer and also on mobile device, I am likely to lose data.

so for the time being

I need to create a web blog page specifically to be edited on mobile only, not on computer, so that during voice recording as I’m talking through art interpretation and I make observations and I make I make progress on interpreting the artwork and I make a discovery – for example the tail of the salamander after roasting is touching the trunk nonbranching of the tree –

I could then for example use mobile device and use voice dictation to edit that mobile specific web blog page and add a date timestamp there

and make a note at the top of my wordpress pages of “only edit this page with computer” or “only the edit this page with mobile app, else lose data”

Citation & Link to Samorini’s 1997 Plaincourault Article

https://www.samorini.it/doc1/sam/sam%20plaincourault.pdf

Home page
https://www.samorini.it

Motivation for this Page

This page will help me get clearer on the relationship and content of Samorini’s two articles, along with his Italian book (.pdf).

This page was a bit of a mystery, along with some confusion: there was some info mis-placed here about the 1998 article instead, and this URL is incoherent “Plaincourault trees”.

Anyway I did end up again printing and reading this 1997 Samorini article, around the time I created this webpage.

My 2006 Plaincourault article cites Samorini’s 1997 & 1998 articles:

“Mushroom-Trees” in Christian Art (Samorini 1998)
December 20, 2020
https://egodeaththeory.wordpress.com/mushroom-trees-in-christian-art-samorini/

even ‘entheogens’ is corrupted

‘entheogens’ = 🍄

‘mushrooms’ = 🍄

‘magic mushrooms’ = 🍄

‘eleusis’ = 🍄

‘kykeon’ = 🍄

‘the mushroom’ = 🍄

‘psychoactive mushrooms’ = 🍄

motivation for creating this page

I was looking for checking my list from February 2021 to check what words that I said need to be moved out of the spotlight and I wasn’t quite finding a page with the words in the title that I was looking for and

I found cross-section of different phrases and words and ideas than I expected

for example “switch from Christianity in the spotlight to Christianity (or Christendom) plus Hellenism should be in the spotlight”

I am recording an episode of the Egodeath Mystery Show right now , and it just occurred to me that the lone word ‘Mushroom’ is no longer usable.

the word ‘Mushrooms’ is no longer usable by me, because in the pop urban dictionary, in practice, the word ‘Mushrooms’ has become completely re-defined as a absolute synonym for Amanita.

just like if I say the phrase Italian pine, that is guaranteed miscommunication and the wrong word because you will be forced to picture a Christmas tree instead of an umbrella pine.

similarly, if I use the word Mushrooms, that is guaranteed the wrong word and miscommunication, because it will force you to picture mentally picture amanita.

mushrooms===🍄

that is the absolute extent

it is not Thomas Hatsis’s fault

he’s a confused person trying to straighten out the thinking of confused people and they are all confused

they have all confused each other

and hatshis mistakes himself or being outside of that confusion but he proves that he is embedded in that very same confusion himself because he literally thinks and in fact asserts that in this field the word Mushrooms definitely does not include Psilocybin

he told me that himself

he said psilocybin is anachronistic and therefore the word Mushrooms in this topic field literally is a synonym of the word Amanita

he is completely gone ; he’s lost

he literally explicitly asserts and declares explicitly to me (personal correspondence)

Hatsis literally is arguing explicitly and pointedly he says that the word Mushrooms is in fact an exact synonym of the Amanita and that he is not conflating the words but that they are literally exact synonyms in this field of Christian entheogen history

Hatsis denies that he’s conflating the word Mushrooms and Amanita because he explicitly denies that psilocybin has any role in Christian history and

he thinks that amanita has no role either and that the subject as Letcher says

the subject of mushrooms in Christianity only exists in the popular mind and that in the popular mind mushrooms is an exact synonym of the Amanita

therefore to the extent that hatsus speaks truth that in the popular mind Amanita is 100% synonymous with mushrooms in the Christian context, this means that by definition, per the urban dictionary, it is not possible for me to employ the word Mushrooms in an inclusive sense that includes Psilocybin, because the word mushrooms in fact means amanita according to the popular mind

therefore bizarrely,

I just realized that a major flaw in my article about criteria of proof and evidence and compelling and interpretation is that the current version of the article employs the word Mushrooms as if the word includes Psilocybin in the christian and History context

but that violates the popular definition of the word Mushrooms in this context which by definition excludes Psilocybin and exclusively means 🍄 as an exact synonym

therefore in this field I am incorrect in using the word Mushrooms in an inclusive sense

I have been using language in contradiction of the de facto common English language

I cannot simply use the word Mushrooms as if it includes Psilocybin

I either have to write Psilocybin or write the entire phrase Psilocybin Mushrooms

but I must treat the isolated word Mushrooms as an exact synonym of the word Amanita, within the context of Christian history

I should suck it up and buy books that I’m not certain I have. I made some poor no-buy decisions.

Carl Ruck – Sacred Mushrooms of the Goddess: Secrets 🙄 of Eleusis https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Mushrooms-Carl-P-Ruck/dp/1579510302

Irvin – the Holy Mushroom – bleh i cant stomach wasson allegro baloney denial non engagement; the non-debate, the Wasson avoidance strategy, cover-up story to prop up his direct conflict of interest. An operative for the Salvation Salesmen; are we to have a good-faith debate with bad-faith actors?

Erik Davis – Led Zep IV album commentary, with 1 page on the Egodeath theory

1923 german book translated, greek myth, B&N Press, may be out of print. I totally should’ve bought this. Snap up while in hand. Nice printing. I will go to same store to look for it.

Richard Carrier’s book on Jesus from outer space. I have high hopes for this book.

Fancy deluxe printing of Graves Greek Myth.

otoh read myth sites; glancing at myth sites online has been like the Egodeath Yahoo Group: instantly overwhelming with more connections than I can handle; like rows 2 & 3 of the Canterbury Psalter “mushroom tree/ hanging/ sword” image comic panel, I couldn’t look at them, bc too many overwhelming connections.

almost forgot, colleague is forcing me to read Brian Muraresku – The Immortality Key. bc archaeology chemical = Evidence hunt. Proof = Spot the Entheogen Object.
