In the same vein I'm sure you've got something cool kicking around for the Illuminati, Rosicrucians, and Freemasons, which plucks from the real history of those organizations.Maxwell Joslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309867478186083339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-42434363832842036822017-09-05T22:57:25.657-06:002017-09-05T22:57:25.657-06:00Makes sense.

Of course, I assume anyways, no mortal in your world thinks it works exactly that way, but it feels nice when you have something like this worked out. And I think you've worked it out quite nicely. I was working somewhere in towards this general idea of things, kinda if you squint real hard, and this will help me solidify what I want for my own world.J.

Dragging this bit from Zoroastrianism and that bit from Christianity, then this bit from Judaism, smashing it together with historical references and metaphysics, I'm plenty concerned that I'm going right up my own ass. In fleeting instances I feel like those guys putting together conspiracy theories about the freemasons, alien abductions and 9/11; and it creeps me out a bit.<br /><br />So when I put it up and no one gets back, well, it makes me nervous. I have to say something! I have to press the conversation a little. So I asked, "Too crazy?"<br /><br />It's just me touching base with reality.Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-13659621432057749442017-09-05T19:25:23.815-06:002017-09-05T19:25:23.815-06:00Not crazy at allNot crazy at allJ.

It's a notion I've toyed with for my games and writing; but with very few exceptions (a book that's still a bunch of random ideas) I've not been able to use it in a practical manner.Ozymandiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01065642299277380465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-74783674152536478162017-09-05T14:26:06.000-06:002017-09-05T14:26:06.000-06:00Oh non, far from it !
