It only bothers me how rapidly the insights are *still* coming
together for me -- a mixture of insights and confirmation after
confirmation after confirmation as I study Western history. It's a
manic whirlwind feeling, I'm waiting for the storm to ease but it
just keeps on in a gale of spirit -- and that's *without* the mystic
altered state.

Everything I touch, in my bookish research, turns to gold; every
glitch or challenge that worries me in the morning is solved by the
evening, with a new, more or less major insight in hand. I suppose
this is how import books or Rock albums are created: momentum
suddenly builds up and carries the innovator away. I feel almost
assaulted by a runaway buildup of feedback insights.

I'm trying to express a downside -- I'm overloaded, overwhelmed by
potential. I can see how superstars would seek to escape the
success-machine. Television is the evilest thing ever invented, but
the commercials are good. I recall the advertisement for computer
technology showing a new company celebrating its first sale but
being dismayed to see a deluge of far too many orders to process.

Every book I peek at slams me with a flood of insights and
confirmation. I wonder about declaring that enough is enough, time
to publish... yet still these subjects are too new for me to write
about. I learned about the existence of Eastern Orthodox
Christianity just the other day. I am extremely ignorant -- but
then, I look at scholars today and just shake my head at their
*utter* ignorance: the fact that they even think the presence or
absence today of the Holy Spirit is something to *debate* about --
jesus, what ivory tower do they hide in? where have they *been*
during the past 50 years?

The long tradition of enforced ignorance, and prohibition of
publishing and herbal knowledge, at the end of the egoic delusion
era, has made it possible for a barely educated person to march in
and turn the world upside down. Various key domains of knowledge
are still artificially kept apart, but with a slight turn of a
little key, they come rushing together -- an onslaught of crushing
overwhelming flood of insights and confirmation, when will it stop?
I'm being buried by books and more books, they all fit, they all
confirm.

When I comprehended and discovered my core theory of block-universe
determinism on January 11, 1988, I knew that I had to become
educated, to catch up with the ongoing conversations in the various
relevant domains of knowledge and research, in order to communicate
the core theory to people in those domains. I have essentially
achieved that, but only barely. I still ought to read many, many
more books to fill in more details.

At this point I can merely sketch an excellent outline, defining a
completely specific framework or new paradigm for investigation and
detailed research. I have sketched an outline of the history and
politics of determinism and have shown the *kind* of metaphor
employed in Christianity and the mystery-religions, including Hebrew
allegories of ego death/sacrifice/transcendence such as the exodus
and Abraham's virtual sacrifice of his child.

The Abraham figure is our forefather who sacrificed his virtual
child-self without physically ending or neutering himself; he
recognized the virtual-only nature of his virtual freewill egoic
moral agency. According to Wilber's Up From Eden, the tendency in
matriarchal religions to that point had been a strong Literalist
tendency that couldn't move past bodily human sacrifice into
permitting the ego to thrive as a beneficial convention.

The patriarchal *legal* egoic agency (confirmed in the book Myth &
Tragedy in Ancient Greece) had to be definitely praised, valued, and
affirmed despite its being an offensive satanic lie, a democratic
society premised on the ageement to live in offense against the
sovereignty of Zeus, on the false premise that we can take Zeus'
sovereignty away from him and claim egoic self-determination and
responsible, culpable moral agency.


One of my more distinctive discoveries is that entheogens reveal
determinism and that determinism is politically dangerous. (Of
course other ideas have proven politically dangerous to egoic
democratic republics as well.) The only way we can understand the
mystery-religions, Christianity, and the mythic Hebrew scriptures is
by understanding the interaction of entheogens, determinism, mythic
allegory, and politics. I am the first theorist to put forth a
balanced framework that intentionally combines these.

I should be vindicated for providing and defining the right kind of
combination of entheogen experience, ego death explanation, view of
determinism, and an effective approach to decoding the allegory of
the Cross and Judeo-hellenistic mystery-religion allegory in
general. The approach I've defined enables rationally and
efficiently solving all puzzles of this allegorical type, including
acid-rock lyrical allusions to the mystic altered state.

My mystery-encoding theory of High Classic Rock lyrics enables
recognizing and identifying all allusions to the LSD altered state,
regardless of the exact musical style, era, or artist: for example,
I'm the only one who identifies the Beatles song Help! as being
essentially an acid-rock song.

Everything that has been written about this song claims it is about
mundane drug problems. But the lyric clusters themselves betray
that reading and clearly indicate instead that, in all likelihood,
this looks to be a song that is mainly about the *high* drug
problem, The Problem at the end of time, the timeless problem of
self-control and entheogenic, religious ego-death.

Everyone in the world says differently, but the reading itself is
compelling, and indeed, when you investigate the history of John
Lennon's drug discoveries, it indeed appears that he wrote Help!
very soon after his first experiences of LSD and cannabis. When you
reexamine the history and the political context of the time, it
unlikely, perhaps even impossible that Help! is merely a mundane
call for people to help John Lennon break away from addiction to
drugs, drugs of the non-entheogenic type.

Similarly, when you take politics of consciousness into
consideration, it is impossible that Rush is not heavily alluding to
the phenomena of the entheogen mystic state in their late 1970s
albums.

When you consider the politics of determinism, there is good reason
to understand why it was against the new, democratic law of Athens
to openly reveal the mysteries. Determinism is a dangerous weapon
that the dominators of society tend to use to justify their reign as
divinely approved by Fate or Zeus.


No one who has used LSD and cannabis would vouch for the scenario we
are expected to believe. Conventional writers about the Beatles
would have us believe that John Lennon discovered LSD and cannabis
and then proceeded to write a song about desperately needing help to
get his feet back on the ground after opening up the doors, but the
song doesn't refer mainly to the standard LSD phenomena of loss of
control and ego death -- no, the cry for help is what the published
interviews say, "I was too into drugs, of the regular sort, and
pleaded for help from people."

That is mystery-religion secrecy, which is needed throughout the
Western history of domination hierarchies. Political oppression has
caused mystics to resort to veiled language and false stories ever
since domination hierarchies began.

Given the oppression of cannabis and LSD in the mid to late 1960s,
how could the top Rock band broadcast an invitation to all the youth
to overthrow the elder establishment, and go ahead and ingest
cannabis and LSD for the resurgence of real religious experiencing?
By explicitly mystery-encoding the invitation: the magical mystery
tour is hoping to take you away, dying to take you away, today, in
the magic bus that is destined to lose control and crash in a
religious climax in the cerebral and spiritual revolution at the end
of history. Psychedelic and acid rock was certainly political.

Politics interpenetrates with religious experiencing and lyric. The
epic first side of the High Classic Rock album 2112 is about the
politics of consciousness -- it criticizes the elders, the priests,
the average, and expresses manic depression, and discovering
something life-changing while looking through a waterfall --
an "electric guitar", but what is the electric guitar about? Ask
Jimi Hendrix, the acid-disintegrated god of electric guitar.
He "performed" -- that is, he sarcastically demolished as hypocrisy -
- the song Star Spangled Banner.
