I'm not sure if people are trying to hide it per se, that's what I haven't quite figured out yet.

Or it could be that we conceal it with our own ignorance and assumptions, framing ancient wisdom and history with skepticism and paranoia, partially due to modern science dogmas and the atheism/futurism movement, letting our fantasies run wild, imbuing our fantasies into our sacred media (stone/papyrus/forums/computer screens), and the most sacred media of all the slate of the mind, which then propagates that darkness further into other people's hands, where they can then manipulate it further. Creating the "hive mind" and "archons" who control that mind.

Some people can harness this creatively, like Phil K. Dick, who writes amazing novels.

It's the Moon magick, the subconscious/unconscious shining insight on the intellect, but it is a dim light that we must interpret with wisdom and responsibility when we bring it into consciousness, or else it is an idea/thought that will cast long shadows. Joseph Campbell/Carl Jung wrote some stuff on his.

The backbone is an important symbol because without that, you're slop in a petri dish. Bacterial cultures, easily experimented on by the archons. Say no to mRNA vaccines, there, you have a backbone.
