“Conspiracy theorists concentrate their time on transmuting the "base matter" of current events, official stories, propaganda and public relations into the gleaming golden truth buried within. They do this through the very right-brained activity of uncovering and inventing connections between disparate elements.

They create story-systems to understand and explain events - essentially a religious activity. For whatever reason, it’s much easier for us 2deal with our internal contents by projecting them into the world around us.These outward signs inevitably become carriers of the archetypal content&psychodrama latent in the seeker.
Conspiracy theory also overcomes strictures of literalism&problems of simplistic thinking by experimenting w/multiplicity of meaning. Ordinary events, people&signs become symbols bristling with complex, malleable, even contradictory meanings. Mystery is revived&idealized.Facts become more than the sum of their parts.Theory becomes poetry&even theology.”🙏♥
