Heretofore, I have been "Unknown by many names," so many devils advocates, don'cha'no. Let me speak straighter than you can ken, the Direct voice of the Double, Diabolos, Ka-os, across your path.
All "facts" are made up. Look up the etymology of the word itself if you don't believe me.
All of you points may exist, all of your lines may evince, all of your dimensions may be "facilitated," (see "fact") but there are only a few means of commmunicating these ideas or connections. These are myth, legend, & icon. "Belief" is the Thelemic heresy of always accepting what you have been told by the means of avoiding experimentation. . "Science" ("let's see") is the act of seeing for yourself by the means of experimentation. "Faith" is the temporary acceptance of direction by one whose information has previously been well shown reliable out of "Science."
"Myth" is that information communicated by mouth. "Legend" is that information communicated by the legible, "writing." "Icon" is that communicated by the image. All of these are of the ilk of St. Leary's "time binding artifacts."
You are all more ingenious when imaging what "the opposer" could be doing against you than when figuring out what you ought do next. "Paranoia," "awareness of all around you," (literally), puts you in touch with genius, while sticking to your own little point can become pointless.
"Conspiracy" means "those who breath together" or "those of one spirit." Conspiracy is proven, from the viewpoint of the viewer, just by pointing it out. We can each be part of a conspiracy inimical to our own conspiracy due to not seeing how it plays into another trip. Mortal enemies, on the planes they find important, personally, can be of the same conspiracy to someone outside the pale.
Artists embody these many planes at once, inserting into manifestation more than they even know out of the collective subconscious. While trying to represent one form they embody the opposite as well, in spite of themselves. Striving to show proper belief, they give form to doubt, attempting to write nonsense, they channel sublime truths. Only by the certainty and arrogance of believing they are speaking of all truth may they truly channel nonsense.
