The more you pay attention, the more you notice They don't want us paying attention. There's a "blind spot" firmly affixed over Phoenicia.
From a totally different direction, there's another example from what you might consider a suspicious organization: the Freemasons. They have as a central figure "Hiram Abiff" that helped build Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, but they take great pains to tell us this fictional character has absolutely no relation to the historical King Hiram I of Tyre that helped build Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem.
Don't they want the cred that Abiff was a real historical person, and not just made up like the rest of their nonsense? Very strange indeed! Well, there is some indication of what I think They don't want us looking into.
Hiram's predecessor was Abibaal ("my father is Baal") and his successor was Baal-Eser I ("Baal is foremost"). Seeing a theme here? Is it striking a chord?
So if I was one of Them, I wouldn't want anyone putting this together either.
Huh, hadn’t heard that about Hiram, though I don’t know much about the masons - some interesting tangents which you make me think of though are:
Solomon’s Seal - a signet ring stamped with one of the earliest known appearances of the pentagram. Stated to give its bearer the ability to command the labors of demons, which is supposedly how the Temple was constructed so rapidly:
It is often depicted in the shape of either a pentagram or a hexagram. In religious lore, the ring is variously described as having given Solomon the power to command the supernatural, including shedim and jinn, and also the ability to speak with animals. Due to the proverbial wisdom of Solomon, it came to be seen as an amulet or talisman, or a symbol or character in medieval magic and Renaissance magic, occultism, and alchemy.
The seal is the predecessor to the Star of David, a Jewish symbol, and in modern vexillology, it features on the Flag of Israel.
The Codex Gigas - a MASSIVE, ornate, and intricately detailed medieval Bible. Not only does the legend claim it was written in a single night by a single monk who made a deal with the devil, but typographic/literary analysis in the present day supports these claims (at least, the claims of “single” authorship and uninterrupted, continuous work until completion)
Albert Pike, grand master Freemason of America seemed to write in his “morals and dogmas” the ultimate revelation of freemasonry:
We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism; the origins of savagery and of most bloody turmoil.
Then everywhere, the people will be forced to defend themselves against the world minority of the world revolutionaries and will exterminate those destroyers of civilization and the multitudes disillusioned with Christianity whose spirits will be from that moment without direction and leadership and anxious for an ideal, but without knowledge where to send its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer brought finally out into public view. A manifestation which will result from a general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism; both conquered and exterminated at the same time.
There definitely seems to be a common thread between the subjects which “they” “don’t” “want” “us to know” - I use the air quotes prolifically because ironically, it seems that (partially) revealing themselves to their victims is (a necessary) part of the trick... something about free will
As to the last thing you mentioned, free will, I think that's a crucial aspect of what's going on but not in the sense everyone seems to think. Rather than being something to do with some "cosmic" or "karmic" sense of it, I think it's much more concrete. That is, I think a deal was put in place a long time ago and has been playing out since then, and here is the clearest description I've found of it:
Because of his arrogance, Allah banished Iblis from heaven and condemned him to hell. Iblis accepted his fate, but asked that he might be spared until Judgement Day so that he could tempt humans from the path of righteousness and lead them to the same fate that would eventually befall him. Allah granted this, but did not give Iblis power over humans. Instead, if they were to be led from the righteous path, it would have to be because of their own temptations and transgressions.
So do I think it's about supernatural beings from some divine realm? Not at all. I think very real events took place on very real Earth in the very real past, but the evidence of them has been mythologized, fractured, rewritten, misinterpreted, smeared together, hidden, destroyed, etc, etc., but the tiny pieces remain that we have to try to put together.
So we can start to form explanations for things we find. Did Pike, out of nowhere, think serving a non-existent Lucifer was a great idea and that fooling people into it over decades was the best way to go? No, he was just a player in a much bigger game to be played according to certain rules that would be enforced at the end.
And how about demons, or aliens, or breakaway Elites with advanced technology: If they're so powerful, why don't they just put the zap on all of us sheep? Either they're not powerful or it's not allowed, and they're afraid of forfeiting or being punished at the end. Which, of course, entail the existence of an enforcer.
But the big picture, as I see it, is that the best way for your opponent to beat you at a game is prevent you from even knowing you're playing one at all.
It’s some short pieces of “fiction”, but (like you, it sounds) I’m always struck by what seems like Truth buried under the labels like “fiction” and “myth” and “legend”
It's all over my head, really. The thrust of my research seems to have turned out to be just giving an account of the available evidence to some level of satisfaction. Just trying to make all the pieces fit together in a sensible way. That's deep enough, as you might imagine.
I just wandered my way in to it all, but the account I ended up with is beyond strange, way past anything the vast majority of people could even imagine to be true, let alone entertain the evidence for. Although it's a satisfying level of knowledge, it's quite lonely.
But as far as fiction, myth and legend, I've found a tremendous amount of truth buried and ignored there, completely passed by. As an example (and a central one), I found that the Bible, particularly the OT, was an account of the interactions of some humans with the powerful aliens that created us. As strange as that sounds, it connects up with and is expanded by what the much more ancient Sumerians wrote about their interactions with their "gods".
And as strange as that all sounds, it was confirmed by subtle but unmistakable clues and references planted in Season 1 of "Westworld". Can you even imagine that? Almost no one can, which is why they can put these signals out so freely.
I couldn't make any of this up if I tried for a century.
