The greater the darkness the brighter the light shines, the brighter the light shines the longer the shadows it casts become.
Yes there's allways some pivotal, crucial and wholly overlooked obscure detail that ruined absolutely everything and it must follow that an indeterminate they, preferably of a metaphysical or otherwise nebulous nature are behind said crucial detail since coming to terms with mans capacity for atrocious malice is simply not as easy or as comforting as the highly seductive and appealing answers that paranoia or outright mysticism offers.
Villains and tyrants one can gather a lynchmob for and actually hang them, invisible boogeymen one cannot since their only purpose as a concept is to keep one in a mental cage ; forever oppressed by a mere notion. An unsubstantiated, unfalsifiable and unproveable one at that.
If the great faiths teach anything at all that is worthwhile it would be that such a concept is a highly effective means of controlling people and controlling people is incredibly useful since we are the only monsters god let loose in the universe :)

Those sure take me back.
The enneagram was really popular around the turn of the millenium when those james redfield books about synchronicity were huge among the art student crowd, it was like the cool kids red book to carry around when i went from graphics design to art academy.
A bit later on that dreamspell calendar game was all over the psytrance scene when i was partying, i allways had to play blue magnetic night, pretty fun but i was never good at it. Wouldn't have thought it would still be popular though considering 2012 didn't produce any of the long advertised future buddhas or special effects.
