    TL;DR: because conspiracy theorists are people too scared to dive themselves into what they consider “forbidden” knowledge. They’re scared of trying to understand it. They fear some kind of “divine punishment”, but it’s just themselves.


    I was once a conspiracy theorist and Christian. Not exactly Christian, as I didn’t engage with any church or Christian denomination. I was once someone who was vocal about how freemasonry “pacts with the devil” and “hides secrets”. The symbols, the hand gestures… It seemed like a “evil” thing to me.

    However… Deep inside… I always felt some attraction to the mysterious. Deep inside, I wanted to eat the forbidden fruit… and, the destiny is a funny thing, I did, I proved it, I opened myself, and it all made sense to me.

    Today I know, there’s no such thing as “evil” or “good” when we consider the grand scheme of the Cosmos. Good and evil are human constructs, while cosmic forces are capable of both “evil” and “good”. Ordo ab chao is a beautiful concept when you allow yourself. Chaos seems like a scary word for those who didn’t gaze into the abyss: She got beautiful eyes… Scary, but beautiful. It can feel painful sometimes, it can feel lonely to get to understand, but it’s the only purposeful thing I’m aware. The cosmic chaos. From that, the somethingness emerges: the order, which unfolds into chaos again, like a fractal, a recursive identity of itself, as above so below. Chaos emerges order, order emerges chaos. Throughout the eternity, they unfold. It as “simple” as that. A cosmic dance, Yin and Yang, Darkness and Light, Goddess and God, Asherah and Yahweh, Lilith and Lucifer, Matter and Energy. Dancing as The Oneness. The Cosmos.

    I’m probably “profane” in the eyes of Freemasons, because nowadays I openly advocate that anybody should be allowed to know the knowledge and even practice it. After all, we’re all the Cosmos experiencing itself, so why not? I know they see this knowledge through a different lens, a different from that of, to exemplify, Luciferianism and Chaos Magick. They’re not related, yet they grasp the same cosmic knowledge. A knowledge that, in order to be understood, needs an open mind and an open soul. It needs Eve and Adam to eat the fruit so to see what Lilith and Lucifer were naturally emerged to see: the beauty within the cosmic dance of darkness and chaos.
