"The album tells the story of a dystopian society sheltered from nuclear annihilation by the Zone, a protected area created through the psychic powers of a seven-year-old boy named Artemus. The boy is manipulated by government officials into acting as a figurehead to gain public support for their rule, though Artemus himself has nearly absolute power over everybody in the Zone. Artemus eventually leaves the area of safety he created, causing it to vanish as he departs."
@Leftius Perhaps. But he also mentioned his Magickal-political endeavour that would consume two years of his life earlier, did he not? Maybe he is engaged in other, more important work now and has little time for the forum. It is understandable.
Whatever he does is not my business nor yours but I do hope he is at least alright.
When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children."
"Information is the basis for Gnostic Enlightenment? The foundation for the magical device known as the all seeing crystal?"
Yes, it may be so. But everything we experience, from the very act of seeing to hearing to a simple thought-process is a product of information.
So how do you sugggest anyone forms any kind of opinion or proceeds to act in any way if not through information?
For instance, I am very sleepy now. That is information I am processing given my physical status. What I chose to DO about that is based on information. Do I take a nap? I'm also hungry. How do I know that? Information.
So I will now choose to drink a cup of coffee and eat some strawberries. I made a choice based on information I received.
Without information, how can one do anything? One cannot even walk! How does your brain process that act without information? You need to navigate space. You need your eyes and ears for that.

Cynicism is what follows. But isn't cynicism a wonderful thing? It challenges people to always, first and foremost, question things.
And when you question things you use your lovely logical faculties more and more.
Everyone is entitled to their oponion, yes. But their INFORMED opinion: naivete is often far from being informed, questioning or anything of the like.
