Summary of & Response to DF's 'Cosmology'
'Reality is the sum of all conspiracies ever imagined' -- RAW.
Most conspiracies are inadvertent -- other people are seldom as competently evil as we like to imagine.
The person who is ultimately responsible for all concealment is the self-concealing, self-revealing God. If we ask for an end to all concealment, we are asking for an end to the world as we presently imagine it. Is it any wonder that there is resistance and procrastination? You are, of course, doing what you should be doing, but would it be too much to ask for an occasional hint of irony? Irony is the result of realizing the limits of rationality. If God did not want or expect there to be conspiracies then He would have created a world rather different from the one we now inhabit. To end conspiracy is to end this reality. Consider also that God may be a conspiracy of angels, for all that you or I know!
For every alleged negative conspiracy you delight in, there are probably a dozen unsung positive conspiracies. For example, consider the 'invisible hand' so loved by economists that is credited with maintaining the stability of our markets. If the CIA is keeping cosmic secrets, it is mainly because they rightly believe that this is what the public wants them to do. If they benefit in so doing, that does not prove malfeasance. It is we investigators who flout the will of the people in our zeal for truth. Is there no irony in this situation?
What I say finally to you, Dick, is that you must not continue to shirk your responsibility. If you insist upon the revelation of the cosmic secrets, then you are arrogating to yourself a divine prerogative. There is nothing wrong with that, unless you attempt to conceal what you are doing. So here finally is your irony. It is you who are perhaps the greatest concealer of all. You pretend to be the innocent journalist, when in fact you are a cosmic agent, or a wannabe agent. If you ever choose to come out of that closet, guess who will be the first person you run into! Yours truly. As I read bewteen the lines of my interaction with Ron & Co., it is we, you and I, etc., or whoever is then the Spirit of Truth, who will finally decide when and how the sky will fall. Anytime you want to get serious about these responsibilities, just let me know.
